For some weeks past a controversy has been
going on between the CaMotic Telegraph, OF
Cincinnati, edited by the Very Rev. E. Pur-
cell, brother Of the distinguished Archbishop
Of Cincinnati, and a pro-sIavery Catholic jour
nal OF that city. The learned editor OF the
Isiegraph insists and proves that the CATHOLIC
Church and Slavery have never got along well
together; that the Church abolished that pc
cuIiar institution wherever she came i'll con-
tact with it, and that it is only in America
Catholics have ever been found advocating
slavery. The controversy has called forth the
following letter from Maj. Gen. Rosecrans,
which appears in "a late number of the 1ete-
grayh. Ihe editor says: ':He (Rosecrans) has
never been an abolitionist, and has, like our
selves, stood up for the Democracy :"

The Refreshing Fountain.

Near the foot of a mountain, crossed by a
much travelled road, gushed adelicious fountain
of water; from the road, but by q little effort it
could be brought within the reachof travellers
passing by, Mr.. Sawyer, the owner of the land,
gave it this direction, and placed a wide
trough for the reception of the water. Many
a painting team was refreshed thereby, and
many a traveller tasted the cool and sparkling
beverage.
Father" said Robert Hammer, as they
came along and saw Mr.. Sawyer at work,
what does Mr.. Sawyer do that for"
"To do good, was the reply.
''What good will it do him2 he will never
use the water"
'His object is to do good to others. Very
many people will be benefited by this act
of his"
''But they won't know who did it, and he
won't get any credit for it."
'He does it to do good, and not to gain
credit. Happiness is gained in doing good,
and not in getting credit for it. He knows
that he has made an unselfish effort to do
good, and God knows it; hence it is no
matter whether any one else knows 1t, or
not"
Mr.. Sawyer did a good work, in opening a
refreshing fountain by the waysidc.
Moral fountains may be opened by the
wayside for refreshing pilgrims-travelers for
eternity.
One sets an example of strict integrity in
the midst of temptations. The sight is as
refreshing to a tempted pilgrim as is a foun-
tain of water to a thirsty traveller.
One sets an example Of christian thankful
ness and trust i'll God. 1t may refresh many
a pilgrim who is fearful and troubled about
many things.
One sets an example of forgivness, and Of
returning good FOR evil. 1t may refresh and
invigorate for duty who are snlarting under
the sense of iniustice, and tried with tempta-
tions to revenge.
We may thus open fountains by the way
side. We may not know how many we ben
eft but God knows.

To HIS EaceUeacy the Gooernor Of MassGchu-
sets, Boston, Mass:
1 am happy to be able to announce to you
my complete and eminent satisfaction witt
the results of organization Of negro regiments
in this department. In the field, SO far as
tried, they have proved brave, active endu-
ring and energetic, frequently outrunIng, by
their zeal and familiarity with the Southern
country, the restrictions deemed prudent 10y
certain of their officers. They have never dis
graced their uniform by pilage OF cruelty,
but have so conducted themselves, upon the
whole, that even our enemies, though more
anxious to find fault with these men than
with any other portion Of our troops, have not
vet been able to allege against them a single
violation of any Of the rules OF civilized war
fare.
These regiments are hardy, generous, tenn
perate, patient, strictly obedient, possessing
great natural aptitude for arms, and deeply
imbued with that religious sentiment-cau II
fanaticism, such as like-which made the sol
diers of Cromwell invincible. They believe
that now is the time appointed by God toI
their deliverance and under the heroic IN
element of this faith, | believe them capable
of showing a courage and persistency OF pur'
pose which must in the end extort both veto
ry and admiration.
In this connection, / am also happy to an
nounce to you that the prejudices Of certain
of our white soldiers and officers against thest
indispensable allies are rapidly softemng OF
fading out; and that we have now opening
bcfore us in this Department which wa'
the first in the present war to inaugurate th'
experiment of employing colored troops, larg'
opportunities ofputting them to distinguished
and profitable use.
With a bri gade of liberated slaves alread,
in the field, a few more regiments OF lntelll
rent colored men from the North would 500
place this force in a condition to make exten
sive incursions upon the main land, through
the most densely populated slave regions
and from expeditions OF this character l max
no doubt the most beneficial results woui
arise.
have the honor to be, Governor, .,1t 2
Very respectfully,
Your most obedient servant,
ID. HUNTER, Mai. Gen. Com.
