RUnAaM Lives and Fire Arms.

! 1t is matter of wonder to many that
SO few lives have been lost in the en-
gsgeinents that have taken place between
| the federal and rebel armies. We confess
that it has appeared somewhat unaccount t.
able to us that two thousand men should
fire at each other for a space of three hours
at 4 distance Of two or three hundred
paces-aS has been the case in several
contlcts-and not more than five or six
ba killed. But the mystery has been
solved. Recently company armed with
U. 5. rified muskets, went out from the
city of Pittsburg, Pa, target shooting
Having erected a target the size of a man,
the company was brought up in single file
at distance of two hundred yards, and
one by one each soldier fired five shots
oithout so much as touching the target!
ltseenls clear to US that the government
al armorers arc peace men and determined
to make war as innocent pastime as posi-
bic. Certaiply, unless our troops get very
careless, they won't kill any body very

4 Pleasure Excursion,

On Wednesday of last week large ex
cursion party from Cincinnati, Indiauapo,
l's, Chicago, and Milwaukee, arrived al Pra.
7rie du Chen in nine of the spacious cars OF
the Milwaukee & Prairie du Chen Railway
Co, and Immediately took up their line OF
march at double quick time for the good
steamer Nilwaukee, which was trimmed uu
handsomely as June bonnet or a case Of
Enfield rifles. There were three or four
hundreds of them, the majority being ladies
and possessed of immense baggage, and they
swarmed over the boat in gay and festive
style. The officers of the boat proved their
competency by taking very good care Of
the fine array and putting everybody a,
case. On getting away they steamed owe,
to McGrcgor and treated the citizens o. this
lively burgh with salute and some excel.
tent music from the band which acconpa
MED the expedition, at the conclusion. O.
which the party, full Of pleasant anticipa.
tions, began the most interesting part o.
their journey.
This Office was not represen ted with ths
party, but we learn they had rare goot
time all the way up to st. Paul, which
point was reached at O'Clock of Frida,
morning. Scattering on shore they soor

Vetributfvc Justice,

1t is singular fact that in the prescn,
(un)civil war, the destruction Of the prop
erty of individuals and corporations in the
seeding states, which in the aggregate can.
not fall short Of twenty million dollars, has
been caused entirely by the rebel forces
and the singular spectacle is presented 70
the world of a governmental army advanc.
ing to the relief of rebel corporations in re.
voting states. Not to be tedious in illus
tration we will merely mention that the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co., represent
ing the weaithiest road in the country, has
done all it could to incite rebellion in Ma
ryland and Virginia, by proffering the free
carriage Of rebel troops, etc. 1t is now a
ruined corporation, and of itself can never
recover BY order of Gov. Letcher, its best
bridges, nlachin. shops, rolling stock have
been utterly Destroyed and that their loss
has not been greater, its detected directors
may thank the federal troops who protected
s'l that they could seize. In Missouri the
most expensive lines Of railroad, owned in
great part by wealthy secessionists, have
been very seriously damaged by Gov Jack
son, disunionist, who at last accounts was
engaged in the executive business of bridge
burning, save at points where federal bayo-
nets expostuated with him.
1t may be claimed that this destruction
'o' property was necessary to prevent the
Use Of it by the government, but that leads
TO the discussion of the right and justice of
secession, while it in no wise points out re.
lief for the unfortunate stockholders.

long ago advised that Religious ideas are
not promulgated in Catholic Institutions
of learning and this being the fact we
know many Indiana friends Of protcs-
tant education who send their children to
the Catholic school Of Notre Dame du Lac
near South Bend, Indiana. If we send a
| child to school Of any kind we want his
teachers to travel him on the paths OF

those who have better right to influence

the purpose Of scctarian propagandism
should be frowned upon by every man who
values liberality above bigotry.
