TIE New CATHOLIC FAITM-Thc Philadel-
phia Inquirer explains the theory of this
new revelation, which is attracting considera-
bic attention and interest, causing discussion
and is watched with great anxiety by the re-
ligioniSts of every denomination. Itisrumored
that it has excited the fears Of those who
strictly adhere to the old faith and established
orders, that il has alarmed the tiInid and big
otc,' and that strenuous efforts are being
quietly made to suppress it. The movement,
the Inquirer says, is q very peculiar one, and
il likely to be successful. AS some of our
readers may wish to know something about
this new theory, we copy the following from
the Inquirer relative to it:
at has already brought out the North
BritiSh Rerier, which has reviewed the ad-
dresses of the Rev. Dr. Bellows on this sub.
jeCt with considerable favor. We may add
that several of the most prominent Unitarian
clergyman arc disposed to unite in the estab'
lishmcnt Of this new organization. OF course
the whole subject is speculative oneAt pres
cnt, but Judging from what has taken place in
the past, it is not difficult to believe that this
new organization may grow into somewhat
formidable proportions. We may be incorrect
in our suppoSition but il occurs to Us that the
liturgy used by the Unitarians in England has
had some influence in suggesting the extension
Of the cercmonials OF tho ancient Catholic
Church"

kable manner; but so long as the record stands
as it does, and the public are more eager to
scorn him who refuses. than punish him who
accepts challenge, we cannot hold duellinG
as a very obnoxious exception to our public
morality, whatever may be said and written
under the impulse which some great and good
mans fall gives to our sympathics." Public
opinion must change before men will refuse
to participate in ducls. Legislative enact
ments, however severe they may be, will not
put a stop to dueling. Men arc so constitu-
ted that death is esteemed among them pre-
ferable to dishonor; and it must be admitted
that Californians would regard man who re-
fused to accept a challenge, as diSgraccd.

TnE WAGON RoAD.-Thc road between
this place and Carson Valley, at certain points,
we regret to learn, is in most wretctcd con.
dition, and unless it is speedily attended to
will be almost impossible when the rainy sea-
Son sets in. A gentleman who has lately
travelled over it, informs US that the culverts
are filled up with rubbish, the bridges decay
ed and broken the walls falling down, and the
ruts 50 deep in some places rs TO render it
dangerous for wagons to pass along. Itgrcat-
~ needs some work at Slippery Ford Hill,
Summit Grade and Big Canon. lie repre-.

II the road is not improved, i; will drive all
the travel on another route. Even now, many
Transfers avoid it, preferring much longer
route 10 travelling over it. The people of Fl
Dorado, and especially Of Pacervle, have al
ready been taxed heavily for the improvement
Of this road; and the entire expense Of keeping
il in order should not fall exclusively on them.
Ii is unjust and unfair. II is State, not
county road; and where ell reap the benefit Of

Iiitle TO keep it in order.
Our informant, whose business requires him
70 travel over it repeatedly, suggests that toll
keimposcd upon Transfers, and that the funds
40 collected be appropriated exclusively for the
improvement Of the road. He says he has
eonvcrsed with number Of them on the sub
ject, and they all approve his suggestion and
wish to see it adopted at once. Remove tho
distractions from.it, fill up the ruts, fix the
bridges and culverts upon it, and they can
take much heavier load, and make the trip
quicker and with safety. They are willing,
ray. anxious, to pay tax that must benefit
them so materially. OF course immigrants
would not be charged cent. Prompt and
energetic action is required. Much labor and
expense may be saved In the spring BY judi.
cious action now. Ifthc bridges and culvcrts
arc not attended to before rain falls, the road
will be seriously injured by washing. Let our
Supervisors take the matter in hand, and
adopt some plan to keep it open and in good
order until the Legislature makes an appro.
priation for it.

Richmond, Baltimore, or Philadelphia, for the
purpose of nominating candidates for the Off
ces OF President and Vice President of the
United States; or, If separate nominations be
deemed inexpedient then to select from those
already in the field, such as may be acceptable

The proposition, ridiculous as it is, has met the
appreciation Of a few journals, especially of
those conducted by unprincipled Adventures,
that have habitually and systematically Oppo-
scd the Democratic party, and that arc strong
ly tinctured with Republicanism and favor the
nomination of q "Black Republican South
American" for the Presidency. The Wing
party has long since ceased to exist. To use

JEWISH OFFICERS IN THE FRENCH ARxr.-
ranks Of one hundred and forty Jewish officers.
now serving in the French army in Italy, have
been published. This is an extraordinary
number, yet the catalogue is incomplete, and a
supplementary list is promised. As in France
promotion depends entirely upon individual
merit, We consider this number Of officers as q
most honorable testimony to Jewish bravery,
skill and morality, especially when It is horne
in mind that the whole Jewish population Of
France does not exceed one hundred thousand
souls. Those soldiers are found in oil regi-
ments, from the Guards to the baggage trains.

M. Cyrus Bartlett, as principal, and Miss
1.cOna II. Trvine, as assistant teacher. The
school will be opened again on Monday morn

send their children to school at the commence
mcnt Of the term and see that they attend
regularly during its continuance. Nothing
interfercs moro With the improvement of pu-
pills, or is greater annoyance to the teacher,
than their irregular attendance in their classes.
Parents are to blame for this, and generally
are severely punished for their neglect in the
premises by having the modification of seeing
their sons and daughters grow up to be igno.
rant boobies instead Of intelligent men and
women.

mean somebody. If they know all about the
conspiracy, as they intimate, let them name
the men and bring direct charges against them,
not deal in Sncaking and vague assertions, in
which they know there is not n shadow Of
