influence exerted by Roman Catholic priests
within the limits of our country is cxerted adj
versely to the Union cause. There are import
ant and striking exceptions; but, as general
rule, the Roman priesthood in this country are
for Peace at the North and for War at the
Sonth. Their influence recruits and strengthens
the Rebel armies far moro than those oi tne
Union.
IT. then. Gov. Seward has quietly exerted al
Rome whatever official and personsal influence
he might in favor of filling the two great ana I'M
portant Archbishoprics of New-York and Baltl'
more by the appointment of prelates eminent
alike for ervid pety purity of life, and devotion
20 tho National cause, he has done no more than
bis imperative duty. We are inaexibly opposed
TO retaining any American Minister at Rome; but
so long as one is kept there, we can imagine no
hotter work for him than that of endeavorlng to
have the Catholic Bishoprics among us filled by
such men as Bishops Purcell, RosecranS and II
mon. AS to Bishop McCloskey, we know MOTH
ing and say nothing; he may be as true and ar
dent patriot as those to whom he has been
preferred; but we do not know that be is. And
we confidently aver that Gov. Seward has said
no more than (if so much as) this.
What there can be of disgrace" or re-
buff" or even "admonition" to Gov. Seward, in
the fact that the Pope has seen fit to choose dill
ferently than he desired, we cannot imagine
1t was the Secretary's duty to try to have
these important posts filed by prelates OF ap-
proved and conspicuous loyalty: it was not his
duty to succeed therein, nor the Pope's to defer
to his representations. Unsucccss on Gov. Sew
ards part il at the worst q misfortune, where
not to have essayed would have been fault.
The Papacy is under no obligation to favor the
cause of the Union, and makes no pretense of
doing so. 1t has its own sphere, views, mo-
tives ends, and doubtless acts in conformity
Herewith; but the simple knowledge gained by
this effort in behalf of our Nationality is worth
far more than its cost

THE CAMPAIGN.

The new movement proceeds with long
strides. While the country waits to hear that
the Army of the Potomac is well across the
James, comes the news that Petersburg has
been attacked land taken. Whether the town
itself has been occupied or not, as late and
somewhat unauthentic dispatch affrms, is Of
little moment, the decisive fact being that the
works which command it were galanty as
saulted and carriedby Gen. Smith on Wednesday
evening at twenty minutes past seven o'clock
Those works, it is officially stated, were
stronger than Missionary Ridge at Chattanooga,
However that may be, they were evidently
enough of great strength, and their storming j.
one other evidence, where no evidence is needed,
of the heroic courage Of the negro troops who
took them. Gen. Smith was impelled TO Offer
them his thanks for their gallant work, and tC
declare that they cannot be exceeded as soldiers
1t ought to be at least week before the Cop
perhead papers renew their sneers at the cour
age and capacity of negro troops.
Petersburg lies south Of the Appomattox. i
| is little remarkable-it was certainly unex
pected-that the first movement of the cam.
paign south of the James should have been made
south Of the Appomattox also. The operations
against Petersburg have been hitherto from
Bermuda Hundred as base, and the Appomat-
tox was crossed by pontoon within the line
that inclosed that peninsula. But Gen.
Grant, with the originality and boldness
which have marked his conceptions from
the beginning Of this campaign, chose not
only to throw his army across far down
the James, but to move instantly upon the first
point which presented itself as an objective, re-
gardless Of the base existing at Bermuda Humid
red. His army crossed the James at Windmill
Point. Thence TO Petersburg is eighteen miles.
The abandonment Of the Cold Harbor line,
north of the Chickahominy, began on Sunday
night, and his shortest route to the James was
twenty-five miles. Yet on Tuesday his enor-
nous army crosses the river; on Wednesday its
advance corps, which had gone round by
transports, has taken Petersburg; and
eight hours later, the 9TH Corps, which
marched all the way, comes up to the
support of the leading column and forms its line
of battle in front of Petersburg. We know not
where in military history TO look for a more ex-
traordinary example of rapidity in moving by
the flank large bodies Of troops in the face OF the
enemy, or Of that swift steadness which ad.
vances over all obstacles to the accomplish
ment Of its purpose.
None of Lees army, it is said, had reached
Petersburg when Smith assaied its deienscs,
but there were indications that force had ar.
rived after the intrenchments were carried, and
that the left bank Of the Appomattox was to
be held. What truth there is in this time will

apparent. the remedy is being applied We
have wanted more first-class wooden ships, to
compete, if necessary, with fleets which have
been accommodating, year by year, in foreign
backwards. These are building with all posi-
BILE expedition and in twelve months from now,
we should be able to command our own waters,
at least, with such squadrons, in numbers, or
ganization, and equipment, as will give us the
calm assurance Of success in the unfortunate
event of hostilities from foes without. Our foes
near home we can take care Of, so far as the sea
is concerned, with the means now at our dis
posal Around nucleus of regular navy-built
vessels we have gathered swarms of auxiliaries
from the commercial MARINE which are quite
good enough for blockading purposes, for long
range skirmishing with land forces, and, let it
be hoped, for the task of some day overhauline
and disposing Of the Rebel pirates that are prey
ing on our commerce. For fortresses upon the
coast, for the capture of seaboard cities, and the
defense Of our own ports, there are the roh'
Gladstone fifty in all-most of which are IN
commission, or so nearly finished that they
could be made available in a few weeks
In the essential matter Of finding crews with
which to man our ships when they are ready, we
can compare iavorablly with England and not
unfavorably with France. Out OF the sixty
five to seventy thousand men for which the
English naval estimates provide, some thirty
thousand are permanently employed in dock
yard, revenue, and other land service. Few OF
them can be called upon in case of war; and so
distasteful has the naval service boon made in
various ways, that, in an emergency, 1t would
be difficult to find compliments for one-half OF
the wooden and iron walls, without which Eng
land is as unprotected as lobster that has cast
its shell. Now we have in the service between
fifty and sixty thousand blue-jackets; not all OF
them old salts, but such as furnish excellent
material for future sailors. Excepting France,
which has O magnificent marine reserve, We
are better off in this respect than any two Other
countries on the face Of the earth put together

But there will be no disloyal then to forgive.
