WAS HE A CATHOLIC ?-The Repub-
licans. says the Dubuque Herald, have
been SO annoyed by the supposition that
the late Governor Bissell, OF Illinois,
was a Catholic, that we have concluded
to give them the benefit of the following
conclusive testimony. 1t is taken from
a note of the Rev. Jas. b. Donelan, of
this city, TO the editor Of this paper.
He says:
Not to insinuate that the humblest ind:yid.
ual who seeks salvation is not quite as precious
in the sight of God and His church as he who
happened TO become Governor of Illinois not
to commit himself to either or any Of the 20
l'tical Issues Of the day. but solely for the
sake OF religious Information. the undersigned
states about the year 1854, in the CITY Of
Washington. d. c.. he baptized the Hon. W.
II. bisse!l, late Governor of Illinois. and re.
ce'ved him into communion with the Catholic
Church. r DONETAN

mo PARTY DRILL. The language
of Senator Angle with rcferen ce to the
Insane Asylum Appropriation should be
remembered. Angle is persistent Black
Republican, yet in an honest moment he
said:
mo party drill sir, can rush through these
ertravagdnt appropriations have witnessed
with shame the feeling NANTES ed by different
Senators, asking for appropriations, towards
each other, who did not dare to attack other
measures for fear of injuring their own pet
Interests"
Truth will out. There is such pres
sure Of corruption in the opposition
ranks that it will make itself apparent.
Senator Drummond did not get far off
from the track when lie denounced the
whole Asylum as 'blistering with cor
ruption." Those Black Republican Sem
ators should be better drilled hy the
party. They are apparently Little
raw in the Republican ranks.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Great Drawback to persons emigrat
ing to the extreme South and Western country,
is the fear they have Of the Fever and Ague-the
most direful Of all diseases. Every day we hear
of persons attacked by this disease and made
helpless in a short time, without any means of af
fordng relief. In view Of the great demand for
remedy, DIR. EosTETTEK has presented his cele-
brated "Bitters." whose curative powers for all
diseases of the stomach have been universally
acknowledged. The 'Bitters,' prepared after
long experience and deep study, have received the
encomiums of the NEST eminent physicians, as we'll
all classes, from every part of the country. To
those who doubt their many virtues, all we can
say is to try them, and Judge for themselves, re-
spectively.

\ NEGRO BARBER Of Mount Pleasant,

to law recently, and Is about to enl
graf. 70 Liberia for the purpose OF prac-
,cing law there.
ME. DoSSoE, OF Delaware county,
recently had his barn burned down,
together with contents and three horses.
1t caught fire through tie carelessness
OF a Scotchman, who, passing by, stepped
inside to light his pipe, careles.ly threw
the match,yc burning into the straw.
PnisIDEST ELLIOTT, Of the iowa
Wesleyan University located at Mount
Plea ant, has published ali article in the
Neus OF that place, and in the article he
urges the people Of that town to pay
one.half of :25, 900 debts which the

transfer it to a more apprcciative

SERIOUS damages have resulted from
prairie fires in the western part OF the
State. The Wintcrsett 4Nadts0utna
Of the cath, says that in Madison coun-
ty. on the Monday previous, barn,
large quantity Of hay, and several miles
of fencing were burned. The fire &C.
Cured about seven miles north of Win
tersett, on the divide between North
River and North Branch A consider
able amount OF fencing was burned on
the farms of Messrs. William Clampitt,
Wilson Bowisby, Joseph Gideon, James
Ralstcn, and - Clark. The fire
originated from sparks carried by a
whirlwind, from a pile Of cornstalks
which had been set on fire on the farm
of Mr.. William Clampit!, by a tenant.
A few days before a large prairie fire
occurred near Big Grove. MIR. l.. l..
Fisher lost by the fire about eight hun
dre,l bushels Of corn, and SIX hundred
bushels of the other grain, besides a
large quantity Of hay, and the greater
portion of the fencing on his farm.
Other persons living in that neighbor-
hood, also suffered severe losses by the
fire.
