We clip from the telegraphic columns of the
Buffalo Eap'ess the following summary of the
appropriations passed by the last congress- to
meet the expenditures of the Government du-
ring the ensuing fiscal year. AS the Admins
tration permits nothing to be sent over the wires
unless it is first approved by Government GEN.
sor, this statement may be regarded as thor
oughly reliable:
Legislative, Executive and miscellaneous

for 1862, S238, ,548, 43S II; for the support
of the navy for 1862, $30,4S6 2o4; Diplo-

Just think of it Eight Hundred and ninety
four millions, nine hundred and four thousand
dollars appropriated for the current expenses of
the Government during the coming year! Two
years more of 'Republican" rule with such
men as Mcpherson in congress to make the ap-
preparations, and our debt will be twice as large
as that OF any despotism in Europe.

eyOught men who talk in favor of the war
and urge Others to enlist, and then, when draft
comes, swear themselves out of it on account of
their conscientious scruples," have the rights
and privileges Of citizens who are compelled to
fight for their country? Ought they to have the
right to hold Office or to vote at elections? This
question will, doubtless, be investigated at an
early day.

STRANGE COINCIDENCE.-Our readers
will remember that Adjutant o. II. Gather,
who was mortally wounded at Gaines Mills,
was shot in the right breast. His successor,
Adjutant Phelps, was also shot in the right
breast the wound supposed to be mortal dur
ing one Of the late battles near Bull Run. This
seems rather a strange coincidence.

AncHp,sHOp POncrLL's vIslr TO THE F,vrrrr

ARCHBISHOP PURoELL's Weir TO THE FIFTrETH
REGIMENT The Cincinnati Enquirer gives the
following account Of Archbishop Purcell's visit
on Wednesday last, to Camp Beckett, OF Ham.
ilton, Butler county: u
The Archbishop, " will be remembered, has
but recently returned from visit to our brave
troops In Kentucky, firing their patriotism and
cheering them on to victory. The gallant Fif-
tieth, a fine Irish regiment, organized at Ham
ilton, under Colonel S ]. McGrosrty, Of Carni-
fex fame, turned out toreceve their distinguish
ed guest VAthe depot, whence he was escorted
with military honors to Beokett's Hall. As
we scanned the faces and robust. manly forms
of the men as they were iniently listening to the
glowing remarks of the Archbishop, We could
not but feel that such splendid material should
be promptly put to work in the field. So
thought, too, His Reverence, as he eloquently
urged upon the friends Of the regiment to re-
cruit the ranks, and dwels with patriotic fervor
on the services of the Catholics of the country
in the hour of the Constitutions peril. He
would like to see the regiment ia the advance
of our victorious columns, battling for the old
stars and stripes, and teaching the wcrld that
Catholics were ever in favor Of law and order,
and would stand by the Government to the last.
The earnest patriotism Of the Archbishop drew
ont the enthusiasm of the regiment, and cheer
followed after cheer, such as Hamilton has sell
dom heard before.

OHIo EDUCATIONAL MoNTHLY-The March
number contains several leading articles on i'm
pOrtant subjects. Though necessarily brief
they are, pefhaps, better for the condemnation Of
thought required to mike them short. The
opening article on military Instruction in
Schools" broAchesa delicate topic. Should q
serious attempt be made toiembody the views
of the writer in Legislation, it will awaken a
keen controversy among educators as well as
between other parties. There will be two sides
to the question, both of which will be equally
scluased by zeal for tho stability and perma
nence of our free institutions.
We commend the Monthly as a valuable edu.
caliOnal journal. Its special work is to promote
popular education in Ohio. Il should, there.
