how it Works.
TFrom this weeks Catholic Telegraph
When we had determined to recommend
to our Catholic readers to refuse their aid
to any measure having reference to the re-
storation of slavery, we knew full well how
deeply we would wound the prejudices of
many to whom we are 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 we're perfectly willing,
in the cause of truth and justice, to run
this small risk. We have, however, been
most agreeably disappointed. Our course
was insthe face of the interests of our
journal. With slavery as watchword, we
could have multiplied the number of our
patrons bat We have taken a course con-
sistent with our Holy Church and the best
interests of humanity, and instead of any
decline in our subscription list, it has been
enlarged. We thank our subscribers for
thus patiently listening to our reasons for
the non restoration of slavery; and it graf
lies us to hear that our long service as q
journalist, in the cause of truth, has given
weight to our sentiments, and excited a
spirit of inquiry on subject heretofore ex.
cluded from Catholic miHt1s.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A FRIEND.
KENTUCKY, April 80, 1863.
DEAR FATHIR EDwARD-God bless yon
for what you have written about slavery.
Where it exists the poor white laborer is
as little thought OF as a dog. That it is
hostile to the Church is everywhere evil
dent. Well did the great Bishop ofCharles
ton, DR.. England, say of the South when,
after years of labor, he accomplished SO
little, ait is q stubborn soil" That the
Church has been ever the the friend of the
slave system is monsterous assertion
Europe was full of slaves when Christian
lty was pfcclaimed-there is not one now.
Who suppressed the system? Go on with
the good work. Many will denounce you
but far more will thank you.

having been a lamentablc and most expensive
failure, they have doubtless come to the conclu.
sion that as public man he can never be made
available The promises they have made, how
ever, and the hopes they have held out were
so large, they could hardly altogether abandon
him without some compensation. They have
chosen a graceful way of escaping from
a dilemma by furnishing him with comfortable
residence and a source of comfortable support,
for it is to be presumed that if the "Crcular
is not responded to by the army that the de-
fcency will be made up by those who instiga'ed

THE SITUATION.

Il is still impossible to collect out of the
obscure and disordorly kilograms from Chatta-
nooga a clear narrative OF the battles on Satur-
day and Sunday And il is not much less diff.
cult to arrive az definite conclusion on the
extent Of the disaster which the Army Of the
Cumberland has suffered. Saturdays contest
quite certainly ended with rcpulse Of tie
Rebel attack; Sundays as certainly resulted in
hurried IL reat of the whole army to Chat.
tanooga-lrom ten 70 fifteen miles, accord
Ing TO the positions Of the several corps.
What the losses in prisoners and material
are cannot now be reported, says the neb'
ulous dispatch which we printed yestcr-
day morning in postscript and which
though dated yesterday contains no intelligence
later than Sunday night. Ii may be inferred,
therefore that losses in men and m0ferist which
could not be computed in twenty-iour hours are
considerable. This dispatch, unless enormously
dated, was written Tuesday morning, not long
after midnight. II narrative ends abruptly
with the retreat Of Gen. Thomas 70 Rossyille
during the night Of Sunday. We are not aware
that any subsequent information has been gwen
70 the public, though the Government must be
in possession Of further accounts. RoSsyiilc'
however, is not more than four miles from Chat
tanooea, and since the remainder Of Gen. Rose
clals's army is known to have reached the lat
ter place. it may be assumed that Gen. Thomas
re-established his communications with tie main
body.
Estimates Of the Rebel strength vary from
20, 900 to 90, 600. The lowest number consider
ably exceeds Gen. Rosecraus's force, and would
scarcely be inferior to his and Gen. Burnsldes
together. The killed and wounded on our side
are reckoned at 500; prisoners, as before
stated, remaining uncomputed. II we put the
whole loss at IL, OO0 and hdd to it the evidently
important captures Of munitions, We shall be-
Gin to conclude tha. the offensive campaign o..

about Burnside's movements, like al other in
formation, is vague and utterly unsatisfactory.
4 disposition j. manifest TO throw some blame
on him for delay. We decline 10 cooperate
in that undertaking. II has been understood
hitherto that Burnside's operations were indie
pendent, and that R0sccraDs was not 10 look 10
him for support. Now they will, Of oourae, be
united al the earliest moment; but that Is 10
reason for charging upon Gen. Burnside the
fault Of his previous isolation. 1t strikes u
that he ha, already borne his share Of odium Oh
account OF bluuders for which Others were re-.
suonsible.

The campaign was opened last evening By
meeting held by the loyal young men OF the
city in the Cooper Institute. Although few OF
the usual means of securing large attendance
were resorted to, yet the large hall was filled,
and the enthusiasm which emphasized the
most outspoken declarations of war against the
enemies Of the Republic in this State as well
as in the South and in Europe, clearly indicated
the temper and demands of the people. Elliott
L. Shepard, esq, presided. Letters from the
Mayor and Maj.-Gen. Dix were read, and
speeches were made BY Mr. FL. Fithian, the

ordered to f back he could without assistance have
whipped the enemy.
The result OF the fighting Ear is, that the Rebels
have taken 1900 prisoners and 20 guns, while we have
CAPTURED 800 prisoners ard 10 guns. The Unofficial
estimate OF the Rebel forces at 10000 is regarded IN
Government circles as greatly exaggerated. IT. how
