The Catholic Church.

Whenever We meet an Irish,
Scotch, or German Catholic, we
meet a man earnestly attached to
the Catholic Church. Last Lords
Day, we heard n good sermon
preached bytheRev. Father Bulger,
of Middletown, Ohio, and judging
from the number of Catholics
present, we are fully satisfied that
they ought to have a proper place
of worship Of their own. The
time has fully come for our Catho-
lie neighbors to resolve in good
faith, to have q church built in
Eaton, as a center to which the
Preble Catholics could draw, on
the Sabbath, to worship and adore
the triunc Jehovah, in whom we
all live, move, and have our being.
AS the Catholics of our district are
not rich, 1t is to be hoped, that a
generous, unsectarian public, will
render them ready and substantial
aid in the shape of money, and a
piece OF land on which to erect a
church. We understand that means
will be adopted in a few days to
collect money for the above pur-
pose. Rise and build. See the
Book of the Prophet. Haggai, LIST
chapter.

Treason.

De-
There is a man whom we should pity,
Who lately lost his reason;
He 10Y resides in Eaton city,
And gases ont his treason.
DEMoCRATs,-Perm one of your
selves to address a few words to
you, through the medium Of our
organ-the Press. 'a'a
In the Register of last week, a
letter appeared, signed =" ANTI
TRAITOR" In those days of ex-
element and trouble, it is well to
understand wherein a man may be
justly called a traitor. Has our
Editor since his settlement in Ea-
ton, done anything which can be
justly construed into a reasonable
act? Has he done anything that
would tend to overtl row the Gov
eminent of these United States ?
Or wherein has ne given aid and
comfort" to the enemy? If he has
been guilty Of either of these of
fences, has not the public the law
on its side? But, 10, a prophet has
arisen in Eaton, one who by pro.
found ignorance has become mad,
He wants to know how long the
freemen of Preble will ~"tolerate
such a villain in their midst?" He
must allow me to tell him, that we
mean to keep him just as long as
zoe please, and we will not ask the
permission of CAN'T Traitor" or
any of his crew.
To speak truly, the "treason" OF
which Mr.. Ferguson is accused is
this-he has not bowed his knee
to the descendants of Ham.
If the inhabitants Of Preble
county are anxious to ferret out
the ~destroyers of the country, they
will find them among the class lee

A PIOUS CHAPLAIN.

The Freeport (Ill.) Journal Of
March 10, publishes a letter from
the pen Of the Rev. David iced,
Chaplain of the Forty-sixth Regi-
meut of Illinois Volunteers, in
which he says:
eve hear it rumored that Nc
Clellan has moved on the Potomac
and the quiet Of that noted point
is somewhat disturbed, as connect
ed with it is the report that we are
in possession of Manassas, but with
the loss of ten thousand men. !
hope that this is true, that we are in
possession of the place, and that wt
haze lost ten thousand soldiers, as
believe that this sacrifice will put
beyond the range of probability
any dishonorable compromise"

a lovely follower Of the meek and
lowly Savior!

A Disunionist.

Ye men of Preble, hear what
Wendell Phillips has to say about
the Union and slavery. We let
him speak for himself, and let it be
remembered that it was in the city
of Washington that he uttered
these words. Who are the real
traitors now? Let us wait a little,
and the men will make themselves
known by their words and deeds.
Even Parson Brownlow said in
Cincinnati, that he would like to
see one hundred of the Abolition
lists in the North, and one hundred
Of the r~ingleadcrs of the South
taken to Washington, strung up
by the neck, and their souls sent
to hill. These facts speak for them
selves, and we are now more than
ever confirmed in the views we
have formed of American Evan
gelicals.

to take nineteen states out Of the

Island No. 10.
Correspondence Chicago Post

Correspondence Chicago Post
Island No. 10 is not in extent as
Large as is supposed by the major
ity of readers of the newspaper
press. Many have formed the idea
that it extended at least three or
four miles up and down the stream,
while on the contrary it is less
than a mile in length and scarcely
half a mile in width. Formerly
the island extended as far up as
Donaldson's Point, just above
which the feet now lies, but the
continued flow of the swift running
river has, during the past five
years, washed at least one-half of
it away. Its soil is rich and fer
tile, and the island has been heavily
~timbered, but large numbers of
trees have been felled by the rebels
in the erection of Notifications. 1t
is of all oblong shape, the sides
converging gradually to a sharp
point at the lower extremity
Year by year it's length is materi-
ally shortened, and acre after acre
has been carried away by the food.
Of the island, around which now
centers so much of interest, and
which in after years will be famous
in history, before two decades have
passed not a vestige will remain
The lower portion of the island is
far more elevated than any other,
but from its position is not avail:
able for Notifications intended to
affect the downward course of a
fotilla. The rebels are said, how
ever, to have there placed in posi-
ton a few guns.
Were it not for the peculiar
course of the river, Island No. 10
would be deprived of one-half of
its natural advantages as a location
for defense. But the rebels have
not been slow to avail themselves
of these important qualifications,
and have improved them in a de-
gree commerdable at least for the
strong, excellent manner in which
the work has been accomplished.
