OMINous.-A son of o. A. Bronson, in.
forms his uncle in Onandago county, New
York, that his father and ArchbishopHughes,
both support Fremont, because he is a Catho-
Hc. There, the last link is broken! When
the Germans went over, our democratic
friends sang llosannas to the Catholics, and
seemed happy in the faith that their redsen,-
er still lived. But this last affection is more
than their patience can bear. Certainly their
time aoas come. Let them curse their own

The FILLMORE PaEss.-l'here are several
Sag Nicht Journals which are so lost to all
sense of shame, as to circulate the story that
there are bat three or four papers in Virginia
supporting Fillmore. The Richmond Ameri-
can has put quietus on this falsehood. II
is of course known 70 be false by those who
reside 10 or near Virginia, but il is intended
to have an effect in remote places, where 1t
is presumed tie truth is not known. The
American saws il has on its exchange list,
thirty i,ro papers which support Fillmore. 1t
estimates the number Of Fillmore papers in
that State al about Jorty, and that there is
but little difference between the circulation Of
the papers of The two parties.
There are twenty-three Fillmore papers in
Indiana. But one German paper out Of the
six in Cincinnati supports Buchanan; and but
one of three ia Baltimore. There are thirty
five papers in Pennsylvania, with The names
of Fillmore and Donelson at their head. and
the Philadelphia Inquirer. and about thirty
oId.ine Wing papers, are also active in the
suppori Of Fillmore.
Cool SHOOTING. Under this heading, the
Crockett (Texas) Printer, Of the 2olh inst,
has the following:
Two men, named Rigsby and Robbins, at
whiskey stand, in the northeastern portion
OF Grimes county, got TO quarreling; both
had rifles: Rigsby up with his and shot Rob
bins, who fell mortally wounded, bat as
Riesby turned Off cursing him, Robbins took
aim Ms he lay dying Oh the ground, and shot
Rigsby through The heart. Both died al
most Immediately, revenged even in death.
Goss.-1'he Louisville Journal sayS--"A
very respectful merchant OF this city, who
is prominent demoorat and has hitherto
been deceived by Ills party organs into ma
king bets upon Buchnnun's carrying New
York, has just returned from the East and
acknowledge that Buchanan 'ciR be beaten al
least one hundred thousand uofes in Neio
York. Thus is the sham Democracy falling
from its high estate. New York is gone,
Pennsylvania gone, Iowa gone, and Indiana
Illinois, and Ohio going very fast from the
Cincinnati platform candidate. His friends
never had any hope for any other Northern
State"
