MINOR ITEMS.
NOT ALL SATISFIED.
The Southern Coafederaey, journal published at
Atlanta, Ga In announcing the passage OF the ord
nance Of Secession by the Convention Of that STATE ae
companies it with the following commentary.
Posterity will regard the act as wanting IN states
mansbip, and the greatest folly committed by
great and prosperous people. But undue prosperity
beges luxury and restlessness and grave DEEDS are
often committed without reflection or reason. Pos-
teity will the act Of Secession for the reason
that the Seeding States in their several Conventions
made demands for the redress OF grievances, but
madly-yes, blindy-precipitated revolution. To
stand justified in the eye Of the future, and before Tie
scrutiny OF civilization should demand redress In
Convention Of all the States.
GENERAL TwIGGs.
The secession Of Gen. Twiggs creates no particular
surprise. His undignied symlatbes with the South
ern Confederacy were well known to the Government;
hence bis supersedure by Col. Waite. The army
suffers great loss by the STEP Indeed there are or
were, those in tho army who bad very poor opinion

that fought under the Stars and Stripes, once

CATHOLICS FOR SECESSION.
The Netc-OrIedAs Catholic Standard tells us how
the Irish and all other practical Catholics" are in IA
vor Of Secession. II says:
"Our Charleston brother is not alone in the satisac-
ton he feels ut the loyalty Of the Catholic Ces TO their
adop,ed State. We are proud in being able TO claim
similar bonors for our Iibernan friends very large
majority Of what is ft led the lrsh vote IN this ely
for the Secession ticket. Precincts where tue
Irish formerly testified their devotion to The tDoD, by
heavy maores for the so-caled Union ticket gave In
the recent election either naories for Secession OF re-
duced the Cooperation majority TO mere trliie. W
proud to Sly that this is not only true OF the Ces

very large majority of whom voted the Secession III ket
OF practical Catholics probably nineteen out OF every
twenty who voted gave it their support. Religion, OF
course not directly involved la the question: but
IL quite impossible TO discover patriotism from reDS
ion ia the Catholic heart. That Ia uL0n which can

whose passions have led lin astray from the house OF
s Father and who has for years neglected His loving
bounty cannot have his patriotism aroused without at
once burning with reawakeDing love and duty TO bis
souls true home. We cannot conceive such an mpoe-
sbilily "A Catholic heart in which patriotism and re-
Ggion do not throb together. Lake the Hbernians IN

UNION SENTIMENT IN MISSISSIPPI.
The Natche. Courier denies that the announcement
Of the election Of Jefferson Davis President Of the
Southern Coufederaey occasioned any rejoicing in that
city, and adds:
$50 far as the Of the appointment Of Mr.. Davis
Provisional President being received with aacrity,
il received with regret. Neither in character
in politics has he any bold upon the confidence OF the
people. He has at last attained what he has been
struggling for for ten years pasta Presidency. We
may admire the ingenuity With which he has attained
his object and yet despie the tricks by which he has
crawled 10 it. There sound of rejoicing here at
Natchez either account Of the formation OF such
Southern Conf.deracy, or the appointment Of such
rulers. The words spraDg too OF en- from one 10 an

The consent Of the governed Is an essential clement VI

A STRONG ARMY To BE RAISED.
The following extract from letter written by del
egate TO the Southern Congress to a gentleman in Co
lumbus, Ga, may be interesting:
ave intend to put the strongest force In the field
which can be raised ard the President will accept
from the States all the men that may be rendered
They will be received with their own officers but the
President settle all questions OF rank aud position
under the authority of Congress. My information Is
that Davis will endeayor 10 secure for tue officers OF
the United States Army who have resigned, the best
enced and capable. There has IA yet been nothing
done by tho Congress 10 the rairng OF troops, eX
cept possibly in Committee. We are delaying much
time over the most trivial matters We have set OF
new men, uniniormed upon tho laws OF the United
States and all anxious to speak,
