HOW IL Works. N E#r

e
From this weeks Catholic Ieiygra.h
When we had determined to recon
meni to our Catholic readers TO refuse
their aid TO any measure having reference
to The restoration of slavery, We knew full
well how deeply We would wound the
preludices OF many to whom wearo bound
by ties of friendship. We anticipated
the withdrawal of our subscribers, and
made up our mind to the probability that
our paper would be discontinued. We
were perfectly willing, in the cause of
truth and justice. to run this small risk.
We have, however, been mos agreeably
disappointed. Our course was in the face
Of the interests of our journal. With
slavery as watchword, we could have
multiplied the number of our patrons !:
but we have taken Q course consistent
With our Holy Church and the best inter
ests Of humanity. and. instead Of any de-
cline IN our subscription liSt, it has been
enlarged. We thank our subscribers for
thus patiently listening TO our reasons for
the nou-restoration of slavery; and it
gra,ifes us to hear that our long service
as journalist, in the cause of truth, has
given weight to our sentiments, and excl
ted spirit of inquiry on n subject here
toforc excluded from Catholic minds:

The Fatal Failure OF tho Ilth Corps.
The New York Tribune has an editorial
very clearly setting ferth the condition of
affairs south of the Rappahannock after
General Hooker had massed his forces at
Chancellorsilie, and showing the derange-
ment OF Hooker's plans by the failure of
the llth Corps.
When General Lee found himself
fanksd, he ut once undertook to repeat
thssame strategy against General Hooker.
Jackson marched straight past Hooker's
front, concentrated on his right, and
hurled his whole division against that
part Of the line. The movement was not
elected without Hooker's knowledge, but
was met with marvellous promptness,
while it was executing, by the advance OF
Sickles' corps on Jacksou's flank, and at
the moment of the rebel attack Jackson
was hsuseii sssaiied BY Sickles. III the

One Thousand Negroes Sent to Mexico.

fCorrespondence Of the London Times
ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 8, 1868.
The Independence Of the 28th ult., and,
/ believe, LaFrance and one or two other
French papers, received here two days ago,
contained statement that the Viceroy Of
Egypt had agreed to supply the French
government with a regiment Of negroes
to serve with the French army in Mexico.
These men, it was added, would be embark
ed on board the Government transport La
Seine which arrived here a short time ago
with troops for Cochin China, and would
be conveyed direct from Alexandria to
their destipadOn in America.
Nothing whatever had been heard in
this country on the subject, and we are
not accustomed 70 see q State secret so
strictly kept that whisper Of it does not
get abroad. The thing seemed, moreover,
too extraordinary to be believed. But we
have had no time TO enter into any dis
cussion on the subject. The Seine has
actually sailed from Alexandria with
400 or 500 of the Viceroy's negro soldiers.
The men had been brought down from Cal
TO in the usual manner, little suspeoting
what was going to befal them. Late last
night body of police was sent down to
the hsrboT, where they seized all the boat
men they could lay their hands upon and
dispatched them to Meks, a place at the
entrance of the harbor, some three miles
beyond the terminus of the railway, and
where the Isthmus of Suez Canal Compa-
ny has opened its qusrries. The Seine
meanwhile had got up steam and was ly-
ing off the same spot. With the assist
ance Of the bOatmen, the operationrOf en-
barking the unfortunate emigrants was
soon performed. Early this morning all
was over, and so we'll had the thing been
managed that the Seine was miles away
out at sea long before there was even a
suspicion in town Of what had happened

That they should not half eat.

And was bound TO have my life,

And vita the knife in hand to lind me,
He looked madly through theoarf
While wss in the depot hid,
Enjoying segar.
When he saw he could not find me,
After looking through the trains
Into the dining room he ran,
And took my seat again

And left him soon behind,
Looking Yainly in each corner
