The VOICE OF TIE ROMAN CATH. CHURCH.
The Catholic Telegraph, published ut Gin
cinnati, recognized us the organ Of Arch
bishop Purcell, makes tho following remarks
in recent article as to the necessity of COM
pletcly emancipatlng the Government and
Union from the influence of slavery. That
such sentiments should be avowcd by the
ablest and most influential organ Of the Cath
Ollie Church in this country, is not the least
significant of'the many signs of the times:
"People say that the war il drawing to u
close; that cessation of hostilities is To be
asked for, &c. We hope 1t may be 80; but we
hope, too, that those who will have the inter-
est of th@North in their keeping piii insist on
the total abolition of slavery. If this be not
done, what will we have gained BY the war;
Allow slavery TO raise its head again, and our
efforts will have been in vain; destroy IL root
and branch, piihouf mercy; icithout hesitation;
destroy II Nth erery cmonstration Of horror
for its memory, and re ioiH haze gained much
by the tcar. The unity of the nation will be
preserved, peace will be on rs sure basis rs
aught in this world can be, and other nations
will not mock US when they point ut our battle
fields, and say the men OF the North died in
vain. We must have some compensation for
the blood and treasure which we have been
forced to spend; this VIC viii find in the aboli-
ton of slavery"
1t is the peculiar glory and distinction Of
the Catholic Church, that from the earliest
periods of her history she has been inaexibly
opposed to the enslayement OF men.

The Herald's Key West letter gives state

who passed themselves of as refugees, and who
took the oath Of allegianoe-the whole being
part Of design to lure small expedition 20
the main land. So far their treaohery succeed
ed that they were regularly enlisted In the Attn
Pennsylvania regiment, after which one Brown,
the chief Of the party, and his associates, un-
dertook to be the guides of small force sent
to dslodge some guerillas, who were reported
by Brown to infest distant neighborhood In:
hsbited by Union'men. Nearing the ground
chosen for q trcacherous ambuscadc, Brown
and his fellows fed to the guerillas and led them
to an attack on the boats. In this they were,
however, foiled While the few troops ashore,
discovering the trcachery, beat o retreat and
reached the boats in safety.

VIoLAroRs OF THE LloUoR Law. -Attor-
ney General Drummond in his Annual Re-
port thus speaks of the clemoncy that has
been extended to persons convicted OF rio-
lation of the Liquor Law:
cit is the testimony Of all our Judges, that
the use of intoxicationg liquors causes at least
nine tenths of the crime in our State. Yet,
sometimes, when man Is convicted tor Illegal
sale, his fine is RENTED, or lie Is allowed to be
discharged from prison, on account Of his
family, etc. Before doing this, II might be
we'll for prosecuting officers to inquire whether
IL Is more Just, more humane, and more for the
interest of the State, to extend to his family
the result of clemency, rather than to the fam
ily of his victims. Would II sot be better to

tends to his customersf"

Carriage Mandatory.

We have designed from the first to make
mention of the different manufacturing in
terests of the towns Of this county. We
have done go to limited extent, heretofore,
and intend to pursue the subject hereafter as
opportunity offers. This week we have
visited and inspected the manufactory of
Owen b. Chadbourne, Esq, Of Saco. and
believe the particulars will be interesting to
our readers.
Mr.. Chadbourne has been engaged in the
business Of carriage manufacturing for TWEEN
ty-thrce years. Starting in life with little
or no capital save that which is better than
mones-a pair Of willing hands, habits OF
determined industry. qnick to plan and quick
to execute and a firm purpose to establish
his reputation as an upright business man,
Mr.. G. has obtained prominent place
among our solid business men.
On the 10Th of last June, nearly all Of his
buildings together with more or less stock
were destroyed by FIRE, causing loss OF
$4,000. Since that time by the generous
aid Of his many friends he has been enabled
to start up again. His principle business is
manufacturing various kinds of sleghs and
top wagons ard light carryalls used in Mass.
He manufactures almost entirely for the eel
ebnted firm Of VIM. P. Sargent & Co.. of
Boston, for whom he has filed orders for
fifteen years, which fact is as good recon-
mendation for his workmanship, Us man
needs.
The average number Of hands employed is
"a. Yearly amount Of manufactures, $780,
900. The seasoning of the lumber is an
item to which the most particular attention
must be paid, and for this purpose ample
preparation is made. Of course, the more
stocky lumber used is kept on hand in guam
tity so that the seasoning process is insured
by age; but for thinner stock there is one
story building with large fire place and
chimney, and in this dry houso this lumber
is kept until thoroughly fit for use. For the
work of making carriages mono but the best
help can be afforded. consequently no up
prcntices are employed and Mr.. Chadbourne,
in speaking Of his men, seemed quito proud
of them all. carpenters. painters, blacksmiths,
leather and cloth filters. The wheels used
are furnished by the we'll known firm Of G.
