The New Catholic Church.

Now that the new Church is entirely complet-
-, and what is better, fully paid for, it is not
,norrropriate to let people who do not live in
,no mountains know what energy and liberality
y ,h;s remote section has accomplished within
eight months.
pev Father O'Reiey set about the task of
.roctnp the new Church edifce in July last and
,v untiring energy succeeded in receiving sub
.orintions to the amount of nearly $7,000 most
of which he subsequently collected. The build
inc is 65x34 feet, insde the ceiling 2S feet high
tbe cost nearly $4,000. The spire is ca feet
above the ground, and as the building stands on
the highest point in the vicinity, it is at once the
object of attraction as the chief architectural
ornament of the town. The contract of building
vas taken by Thomas x Gibson, and is completed; !;
q anoat fence to enclose the grounds yet remains
u erected. The building is ceiled throughout
by Lee & Co, CT Shasta, in ,he most neat
a abstantiai manner. Judging from the gen.
expression, we conclude that on the whole it
rivals any church elifce, in point of architecture
and finish, north of San Francisco and speaks
loudly for the zeal of Father 'Reiley in his ar
duous undertaking, and the liberality of our
people.
The Ladies' Fair, and the grand Ball at Il :
close, given last week, was complete success,
and netted sufficient funds to pay the last cent
Of Indebtedness against the building. And in
this connection we are asked to again thank, in
behalf of the Catholics, the ladies of other de-
nominations who evinced such lively interest on
that occasion, and who rendered material aid in
the accomplishment of the desired end. Also, to
the Trinity Brass Band and Geo. Hulme, Esq,
who, Notwithstanding they were in continual
service from the opening to the close of the four
days entertainment, refused any remuneration.
And in fact all who aided the movement will be
remembered with gratitude.
The Church was opened with service in the
presence of an immense throng of people on the
17th. The Shasta choir kindly volunteered their
services, and discoursed excellent music on the
occasion. Bishop O'Connor will be here in
short time, and will bring with him pastor to
supply the new Church. Until that time Father
O'Reley, the present able and respected expound
or of Catholic doctrine, will alternate between

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.-Jo Voshay tells us of
a very singular lightning freak which happened
near Shasta on Sunday last. Several loaded
teams on their way up, when about two miles
from town, were overtaken by a thunder shower,
and one of them by stroke of lightning, killing
the horses instantly. The wagon was partly
loaded with camphene, which took fire, consum-
ing both wagon and cargo. The driver, who was
walking behind the wagon, was prostrated by the
shock, but soon recovered.

JUDGE GooDRICH.-Intclligence has been
received of the arrival of Judge Goodrich
at Brussels. The Judge expresses much
pleasure in having an opportunity of view
Ing the wonders OF the Old World, and is
particularly delighted with the Belgian
capital. AS might have been expected,
from the turn of his mind, the ancient works
of art in that city early attracted his atten>
ton, and the first fruits of his researches
have been transmitted to the sold Settlers
Association of Minnesota, of which he
was an esteemed member. He furnishes a
history, with elegant drawings, of cele-
brated piece of statuary called the " Mene-
ken-pis." 1t is one of the greatest curios-
tiles of Brussels, and has often been orally
described by travellers, but never so we'll as

CONDITION OF Our SoLD1ERs.-The &C.
ton of the Governor in sending a special
agent of the State to the camp of our regi-
ment for the purpose of ascertaining the
actual condition of the men, meets with the
warm approval of all who sympathize with
those who are nobly fighting the battles of
the country, or have a due regard to the
reputation of the State. In the absence of
proper representations from the officers of
the regiment, or through any other official
source, that the men were suffering from
want of clothing, Governor Ramsey has
taken the responsibility of ordering an in
vestigation, and if complaints that have
reached him through private sources are
proved to be we'll founded, measures will be
taken at once to have the regiment properly
clothed and placed in an efficient condition
for service in the field. This will be done,
if possible, through representations to the
War Department, but if these are ineffec-
tual, the credit OF the State will be used
for this purpose.

mitted some depredations since the pay
ment, but nothing of serious character.
Whiskey seems to have been the origin oil

LETTER FROM COMPANY "A."-Truman
M. Smith. ESQ.,, has kindly allowed US to
make few extracts of letter addressed to
him, from private in Capt. Wilkins COM
pany. The letter is dated July 23d. After
relating the incidents of the march beyond
Fairfax, he says:
On Sunday morning we commenced our
march again at two o'clock, P. NJ, towards the
battle field. We marched until about ten
o'clock, when we stopped little to rest, and
then advanced double quick about two miles
up to the batteries of the enemy. From that
time until four o'clock. P. NJ, we were con-
stantly in the fire, mostly skirmishing. Many
of our brave friends fell beside us, but with
feelings of revenge that demanded new cour.
age, we advanced, till at last completely ex-
hausted and overpowered, we retreated.
Our Captain (Wilkln) and Lent. Col. Miller
fought like heroes. Capt. Wilkin picked up a
musket and killed one man, and took another
prisoner, and performed his duty like a pa
triotic officer.
Capt. Acker had one of his eyes shot out.
WV 10 ouNC al w dSuiuSeoHs NuAvCyVA AAoAcSOu
had his fingers shot off on his left hand. How
many in all were killed, wounded, or taken
prisoners, we cannot tell yet, for we were
badly defeated, and many taken prisoners after
night, when we were retreating. The enemy
poured their fire upon US like hailstones, and
the roaring of their cannon never ceased.
The force of the enemy must have been
four times that of ours, and the ground and
many other things were on their side. We
were ordered back to Washington immediate.
ly, for their intention was to cut our retreat off
and surround us, SO we had to march again,
and tired and jaded we arrived in Washington,
Monday noon, and were quartered in q church
on Fifth West street. We marched and fought
from Sunday morning at two o'clock, until
Monday at two, P. NJ, without resting at all,
and arrived here drenching wet, for it rained
all day Monday. When we arrived at our
quarters we slept and rested first rate. How
long we shall stay here don't know. We are
all anxious, after we have rested little, to
give the enemy another trial. for we demand
revenge. "Victory or death" is our motto.

SOLD BY AN IMPosroR.-A week or two
ago we received an introduction from Rev.
Mr.. Pope to military genius, calling
himself Capt. James L. Smith, who came
up the river as he said, to leave his wife
with her parents, who resided up the Min.
nesota river. He said be had escaped
hanging in Texas on account of his Union
sentiments-was rescued by Sam Houston
had received the commission of Captain
in the regular service from General Scott
knew Generals Beauregard and Lee-had
letter from Baptist Church--told h w
he overheard General Letcher say some
thing important--had woman with him
said she was his wife, &c. &C., and of course
wanted to raise money. He received the
Inequalities of Rev. MIR. Pope, but was not
very successful in raising money, and soon
decamped. The -upshot of the matter is
that be is great humbug and cheat, and
has thrived during the whole season in the
Western States by his imposture. We no"
tice in the papers accounts of several others
of like character, who are sponging their
living out Of charitable people. They have
one story they stick to pertinaciously, and
that is of the suferings they have endured
at the South on account Of their loyalty to
the Union. The world never was and new
er will be free from impostors but it is a
matter Of justice to the community in which
we live. and to the people abroad to expose
them whenever we are satisfied of their true
character. These war times afford good
chance for rascals to humbug the patriotic
sympathies Of the people.
