Couldn't Make It.

Notwithstanding the mass of evil
dence to the contrary, some silly
people imagine that the rebels are
in sympathy with Vallandigham.
A few people of the kind that
have water on the brain, acting up
on this opinion, tried to make a
little party capital out of the Morl
gan prisoners. One man went to
the Jail window, and winking at
the bystanders, said, "Let's,see what
they think of Val,andigham."
"llallo," said he to the prisoners,
"what do You fellows think OF
Vallandigham?" "We believe him
to be-" answered the rebel spokesl

Another rich scene occurred at

full blooded Abolitionist, with u
patronizing air. II suppose you

THE CATIIOLICOLERGY AND

Comment has been excited by
the disjroportionatc number OF
Catholic clergy rs compared to
Protestant ministers, who have
been drawn, in places where the
draft has been completed. This
curious aud most un.Amcrican con.
@lrivance OF Yankee cHtenes3 has
been wonderfully shaped to avoid
those, Il fair conscription would
have hit. The poor man ought to
have been spared rathef THAI the

CALLING and eXasperating fact. s.,
surely it were fair that the clergy
OF these sects that have preached
and prayed this war into existence,
should now go and fight it out
but for the Catholic clergy, who,
with exceptions so rare as to prove
the rule, nave abstaincd from all
political agitat ion, and have APP

the Yankee draft cuts precisely
the other way. Married men o

she could bear it and rubbing her shoulders
as hard as she could: the effect was that
she never, since the last application, now
about fourteen months. has had the slightest
pain of rheumatism in her shoulders or any
other part of her body. Many persons in
this country, especially miners, are afflicted
with that malady, and yet have requested
many to try the remedy, but they regard the
value OF potato water in the same light as a
great many do the randy ard salt cure,
viz drink the brandy and rub the afflicted
parts with the bottle Then again both these
remedies are so cheap that it is thought they
cannot be good. JACOB Fritz"
