The Fears of a Catholic Rebellion.

Mr.. EDrToR:-In looking over THE
CALIFORNIAN of last week, l notice that
fears are entertained of another rebellion
in this country, if at least we must be-
lieve the n. Y. Independent, and the wri-
ter in that paper of a series of articles
tending to show that the Catholics are
plotting the overthrow of our free institu-
tons. But l am happy, Mr.. Editor, to
be able to state here that as far as my in
formation can reach there is no ground
for such an apprehension, and this strange
statement as made by parties perhaps not
very friendly to the Catholic Church is,
| am inclined to believe, but one of the
"sensation stories and " startling facts"
which fill up SO many of our city papers
since the war is over. The Catholic pop
ulation has increased in this country of
late years owing to different causes and
the discovery Of this new au taa acconspH
has startled some to such an extent that
they present it before the public as real
and the greatest danger for the great
American republic. But let them who
think, MIR. Editor, that they have to fear
much from the Catholic Church, from its
establishment and its growth among them,
learn first to find out what this church
teaches to its adherents, and their fears
shall indeed soon vanish away, as we see
these warm days the foggy vapors disap-
pearing every morning before the rising
sun; they will learn, what they never
knew before, that the Catholics, when
true to the faith and teachings of their
church, are peaceable citizens, strictly
bound to respect and obey the laws, when
Just, of the country they may happen to
live in. Let all Americans then, worthy
Of that name, look for the future to the in
crease of the Catholic population on this
side of the Atlantic, as they should, that
is, as torerunning new era of prosperity
and grandeur for the nation, and then also
they will heartily thank God, who, in His
Providence sends them these thousands of
Irish and German Catholics to help in
making this, what so many proudly claim
it to be, the greatest country in the world
am. Mr.. Editor, as ever, very truly
yours, S. DANIELoU.

Secretary Stanton and Our Pris-
OnEr8.

One Of the first articles written by Mr..
Dana tor the Chicago Republican is de-
NAL OF a statement of Junius H. Browne,
who was imprisoned a long time at the
South with Mr.. Richardson, that Mr..
Stanton is responsible for the sufferings of
Union prisoners at the South. Mr.. Dana.
who was, until recently, Assistant Secre-
tary of War, says:
''No man of all the thousands who Ian
gulshed in the cruelties of rebel bonds can
rlghttully say that Mr.. Stanton is respon-
slble for one moment of his fortunes. The
truth is, that special efforts were made by
the War Department to procure the release
OF MIR. Browne, and his companion, Mr.
Richardson; but those in power at Rich
mond were, for some reason of their own,
unwilling to surrender them, and refused !;
and finally, after all other means had been
exhausted, and when the notorious Poll
ard of Richmond (who had been released
on his parole to negotiate the exchange OF
Messrs. Browne and Richardson for him
self and some other Southern Eteratem who
had been captured by our forees) had fail
ed to return according TO his promise. Or
ders were given to Gen. Butler to seize and
hold as hostages for these two gentlemen
a number Of prominent citizens of Vir-
ginia, who resided near enough to our lines
to be within reach of "a cavalry party.
MessIs. Browne and Richardson escaped
before these orders were executed: but it
is the fault of James A. Seldom, and mo-,
of Edwin NJ. Stanton, that they were not
sooner at liberty"
