A "REMINISCENCES FOR CAUTIOUS ENG
LIsHMEN.-We find friend in the Opinion
Rationale, of Paris, which, December 25th,
SAYS of the stone feet: "The English, outraged
at this peaceful blockade, swear the dark ages
show no parallel example of vandalism. The
universal desolation of AtTila was nothing as
compared to the stoning up of two ports at which
blessed cotton is wont to load. Civilization Is
outraged by such an act, and every nation
should combine to save this age from such a
disgrace. The idea is diabolical, an internal
revenge, which only the brains Of Northern
Yankees could hatch out. This declaration
comes from the English, who, in 1907, in time
Of peace, bOmbarded Copenhagen, burned the
Danish feet, and sacrificed by those exploits,
the lives of two thousand subjects of neutral
power. 'Dieu ct mon DrOit.' God and my
right. My right is my God; and my God is my
interest"

THE NEws.-Since the Government has
laid an interdict upon the publication OF
army movements, the telegraphic news
from the east possesses but little interest.
Nothing reliable has been heard from Bu-
ellis army since be took possession OF Nash
vile, and we have no intelligence o!any
military movements on the Potomac since
Banks division crossed the river at HaF-
per's ferry. 1t is not improbable that the
muzzle was put upon the press in order to
keep secret some important move 10 con-
templatioR-probably on advance OF Me-
Clellan's army upon Manassas. II that is
the case we shall probably have no ultima
ton of the advance until after battle
has been fought.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-03-04

ARGUMENT AGAINST CAvALRY.-With the
improvements 10 fire arms, writer on war
seems 20 think horses are losing value in
battle. He says:
'I.et the horse be ever so swift, the saber
ever so sharp, or the rider ever SO bold, the con
ical ball is too much for him. A charge of
cavalry upon body of properly armed infan-
try bids fair to be hence!orward impossible.
Two hundred yards has been fixed by the best
authority as the proper charging distance, and
in by-gone days it was only at two hundred
yards that the fire of square began to tell.
and saddles to be emptied. But nowadays
the iron rain patters on the horsemen before
they get within half mile Of the foe. II they
quicken their pace to close, the maddest charge
will not bring dragoon horse on the bayonet
in less than three minutes, and when he ar
rives. he is blown and disabled. when he ar
rives--if he arrives, we should say; for even in
traversing eight hundred yards at the top Of
his speed, he receives half dozen volleys from
practiced sharpshooters. To send cavalry on
such service will, we may safeful predict, hence
forward be considered madness. The foot sol
der has swifter messenger in his eaTtouch-
box than the heetest hussar."

PRoGREss OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN
r,,v Itxuyp srArEs.-The New York Tablet thus ex
bibits the progress of the Catholic Church in the
United States:
During the past year there have been l3o priests
ordained for the sacred ministry, which includes
those ordained for the various religious orders
There we're e5 churches dedicated, and the corner
stones of IL Others blessed he state OF tne country
viii account for so few churches having been COM
menced during the year. We also find the names OF
I26 Young ladies who we're received into the dherent
religious orders throughout the loyal states' ana l
Is deaths in all In these same communities We
have also given from time to time, the repor's oI
the different missions held by the Jesnlts' ths
paulists, the RedemptiODists, the Passioniats anu
other orders engaged in this great work great
number of these missions. with the most encouIas
ing results were given during the year. We intenoeu
TO give the number Of persons confirmed ana con
yerts received into the church, but could not MAKE
the number anything like correct as several connr
nations we're not reported and of several OF thoSe
that we're the numbers confirmed were not gwen
In nearly every case we find that several converts
were amongst those confirmed, and from calculations
made during the year think we can put the mum
Der down as received into the church during the
year 1861 at very nearly 800 persons.

CAR1DOo.-The editor Of the DOwnieviIle

CARIBoo.-The editor of the DownieVille
Democrat has seen letter from Maj. Downie,
an old resident of Sierra county, written at Vic
toria, Vancouver Island, in which he states that
he has tTaversed the whole country, that the
mining season is of three-and-a-half to four
months duration. He says prospecting is diff
ficult and laborious, the placers swampy and
difficult to get about in. The Major says he
has seen nothing to compare with his old town
at the North and South forks Of the North
Yuba. There is nothing in'the letter calculated
to induce any one to leave this section for the
North.

STARTLING RUNOR.-A late number of
the Los Angeles News says reports were
current in that place, that 800 rebels ap-
peared before Fort Yuma, and demanded
unconditional surrender of Showalter and
party, which was refused, when q fight took
place which was going on when informant
left.

FRRT FRozRN.-The British Colonist of Feb
ruary 18th states that some four weeks since a
CaribOo miner named Wesley walked from New
Westminster to Point Roberts on the ice and
during the journey had both feet badly frosted.
He was subsequently brought to Victoria and
taken to the Royal Hospital, where he has re-
ceived the best medical attendance; but all ef-
forts made by the physicians to save the poor
mans feet have proved futile, and Il is announ-
ced that he will loose both feet below the in
steps. A subscription was being raised for his
support.

GEOLOGICAL SURvEY.-Professor Whitney
in lecture delivered last Friday evening
in the Assembly chamber at San Francisco,
gave the following reasons for continuing
the survey:
First. il will furnish basis for prospecting
with sureness for minerals. Second, it Will IN
sure the economical working and permanent
profit of mines. Third, it will give the world an
official statement of our mineral resources, so
that foreign capital may seek safe investment
here. Fourth, it will enable the farmer OF the
agricultural districts to work his farm to the
best advantage. Fifth, it will furnish the pub
lie and other schools and colleges with the geo.
logical, natural and botanical histories OF the
State; and, sixth, it would be lending to science
helping hand in her search for information
Thus we can gather with our own hands the
rich harvest Of facts with which this State
abOunds, and not to leave it to foreigners to WIN
away the glory of it, as they have in the case OF
our mammoth trees, which they have named
after one of their heroes.
