We learn from parties having come
from Cailicothe, that the friends of Har-
baugh and Elder Brattun procured writs
OF habeds corpus in their behalf, but Cap
tain Reed, of Guitars regiment, who
made their arrest, and Who had them in
custody, refused to allow the execution of
the process. The prisoners were then
brought 10 Macon City, Gen. Guitar S

ment. Here was test made of the eff

rived from 100 many and too well oxpe-
rienced residents in Rome to leave much
doubt on my mind concerning the awful
decentralization which prevails among men
and women--a corruption of degree and
character which is only paralleled in Eng
land in that unhappy class, which, as
class, has no existence in Rome. In a
city with population OF less than 200, :
600 souls, the existence of nearly $4,000
celiba,es 10000 ecclesiastics and almost
20, 900 soldiers, is an element of hopeless
disorder. The priestly Government is as
prudish, as If composed of old maids -
No flowers may be sold by women; no
female ballet dancers may appear, save in
ridiculous drapery every statute in the
galleries IS made what they deem decent
and when | ventured to suggest that the
infant school should admit little girls OF
three to eight, to learn with little boys of
the same age, was told the Government
would close the school at once were such
a fragrant Improperly TO be attempted -
Yet, that the present Pope himself q man
of unimpeachablc morals is subject OF
almost boastful surprise; and that many
of his cardinals, or 80 900 priests and
monks, follow his good example, no one
seems to believe for moment. But let
as draw veil over the secrets of This
Getty Of Destruction, and remember that
men cannot ssei aside Gods laws, soul
and body, and make religion cloak for
| tyranny and wrong. anAF after Rfl, leave
those who endure such things in state or
moral health and simple piety. Despot-
ism and hypocrisy would not be what
are could they brood over nation for
ages, and be inhaled in it at every breath
like malaria, and yet leave no fever, no
plague behind them. to tell of their pois-
oned bane Outraged nature vindicates
itself always, and religion, parodied and
blssphemed, becomes curse.
