PROTECTED EMIGRATION FROM
THE SOUTH TO SPAIN


THE SOUTH TO SPAIN.
/ Tho Manchester Guardian has Lon
don correspondent who communicates to
that journals singular project, which he
asserts has been set on foot in London
and Paris, for the colonization of Q portion
of Spain now sparsely peopled by ennis
grants from the Southern States of the
Union. The writer asserts that "some
of the men who headed distinguished
commands in the Confederate army are
ready to lead back to Europe the de-
scendants Of those who two centuries ago
planted the transatlantic Dominion lie
says they find it impossible to reconcile
themselves to the altered condition Of
things that has arisen since the civil war.
They have been used, he says, to a land
of tradition and memories associated with
old world institutions, and sooner than
give these up they are willing to cast in
their future lot with Catholic and aristO-
cratic Spain. Gen. Prim is said to favor
the project, for he appreciates the militia
~ qualities OF the race, and not unnatur-
ally thinks that the infusion Of new blood
would be of no little value to his coun~
try" This is fair specimen of the ere
liable European correspondent The
only "portion of Spain" that we hear Of
any Southerners emigrating to is Cuba, il
Cuba may beconsidered in that category
and it is very doubtful whether the kind
of emigration they are said to be engaged

The Thought of Death.

The thought of. death is the best means to
conquer the fear of it, for. by becoming, as 1t
were, familiar with this irrevocable event
which awaits us all, are naturally urged to
prepare ourselves to meet it properly; and the
more we consider it, the less terror does it in
spire Births feeble cry and the pangs OF death
are slender tributes Nature pays for mighty
gain. Each gains life, but oh! how far does
the last transcend the tirst-the true one lives
beyond the grave. Death but entombs the
body, this present life entombs the soul, ana
makes it dependent on the dust; whilst Death,
kind Death, gives it wings to mount above the
spheres" Religion teaches us to look upon the
day of our death as that of our great pay day
on which we lay our burdens down, and are
permitted at last to shake off the chains of our
captivity. Should we not rather rejoice, then,
to see the prison door open that lets in eternal
day-to gaze in rapture for the first time on
the whole eXpau3e of the sky, of which We
only II glimpse now through the bars OF
our dull and heavy understanding. To- see
God face to face the thought alone sh0uld
fill us with transport. When men have arrived
at thinking of their very dissolution with
pleasure, how few things are there that can be
terrible to them. To such rs these the gratif-
cation of innocent pleasures are doubled even
with reflections upon their imperfection. The
disappointheuts which naturally attend the
great promises we make ourselves in expected
enjoyRfents strike damp upon such souls,
but only quicken their hopes of soon knowing
joys which are too pure to admit of alloy or
safety. One who is truly devoted to heaven
is led safely by this thought through the intri-
cacics and Vicissitudes of life under which men
are ordinarily entangled. AS to this world, he
does not pretend to skill in the mazes of it, but
fixes his thoughts upon one certainty, that he
shall soon be out of it. And we may ask, what
can be a more sure consolation than to have n
hope in DEATH This thought gives us the true
taste of life and due appreciation of time +; it
will alike help us to bear well prosperity or
adversely; if the former, it teaches ms the
vanity and insuliciency of earthly bliss, and
dispelling the fumes of passion and the mere
froth and bubbles of foolish mirth, it leaves
the soul only serene and peaceful; if the latter,
it entities us to repose on Him who governs
! fate. What if tempests frewn and nature
angels lean, and, ready for the last call, we
may say with the royal psamist, Though
should walk in the midst of the shadow of
death l will fear no evil, for Thou art with
mew c. V. M

- WHOLESALE MURDER IN FRANCE.-One of the
ghastlcst tragedies that mortified the
public mind has been brought to light in the
outskirts of Paris. The corpscs of five children
with that of their mother was discovered in n
piece of waste ground Monday week.
Suspicion fell on the husband and eldest son
of the woman, native of one of the northern
provinces, who had only come to thu capital
the previous. On Wednesday wretch
arrested in IIavrc on his way to America,
whom proofs of his connivance in the
murders We're found. He attempted to drown
himself and to pull down brave seaman, who
went to his rescue, to- the bottom with HIM.
The tcnd saved for the guillotine. lie
then confessed that he had been party i'll
the affair, but employed by the husband
and eldest of the aSsaSsinated woman.
Horror of horrors On Sunday last, by the
mcrCst accident, in which we believe can
the righteous hand of Providence, the
corpse of the son found some twenty yards
from the PIT from which his mother and the
other victims were disintcrred. The rutlan
who committed this Wholesale massacre is
named Traupmann, he was born Protestant,
hut got himself baptized and entered n Ca
tholic religious house as servant There he
committed n robbery and was put to the door.
Go and get yourself banged somewhere else"
was said to him. He appears to have been an
admirer of the works of Eugene Sue, and cX-
pressed himself captivated by the Wandering
Jew ~ Tho natural presumption is that the
father of this family has also been done to
death. How many murders are to be attributed
to the reading of the Newgate Calendar
and such like literature of the gutter London
JRireIse.

--p ..ea ST., Charles p. o., Oct. 10, 1869. u
Editors MoTaing Star and Catholic Messengers :
Thinking that word about the crops along
the const would be of interest 70 X3nr Iea4 I
address you from this point-St. Charles POST
Office, thirty miles above your clty, on Inc
right bank of the Mississippi, in which mega
borhood have been for some days past.

opportunity of judging the comparative pros

at best, and the almost certain prospect OF
poor yield adds materially to the certainty OF
n short crop. This year has been n bad one ior

much rain, AID the cane couldn't be worked IN
time, and consequently was !" lana by inIe III
the season. Immediately following TINS Inc
season became dry, and has SO continued, IN
consequences of which the cane did not grow,
and is now small and green, as general thlng,
The corn crop has turned out We'll, thouSh
regret to say many of our planters neglect TINS
crop, pretending that they can do better MAX

sense and experience are opposed to such an
idea.
and from appearances l consider 1T has done
well this season. This crop regard as very
profitable one, requiring but little labor and
always commanding good price.
The little cotton along the coast is good.
This has been a fine fall for cotton, and we
hear of passably fair crops for the area in Gull
tivation in our State.
A short distance above this place is the Par
ish Church of st. Charles, a frame building of
about As by 80 feet, now in charge of Rev.
Father Sureri, recently stationed at Baton
Rouge as assistant under Father DelacroiX.
The church is scarcely half finished, being only
covered and weather boarded, and is, am in
clined to think rather poorly attended for the
number of Catholics living within reach.
Yesterday, after a Very good sermon IN
French by the Rev. pastor in charge, collec-
ton was taken up for the purpose of aiding in
the purchase of an organ, realizing some S52,
which, with the money already in hand, will
enable Father Sureri to-add this much desired
article to his yet poorly furnished church, and,
hope, encourage his congregation to hasten
the completion and furnishing of his church
within the coming year. PELICAN.

TIE CouSc1I, AND THE CLERGY OF FRANCE.
While so many attempts are being made to
revive a sympathy with exploded errors, we
recognize in the admirable address of the Arch
l,ishsp of Cambria to his clergy, the genuine
accents of the hierarchy and clergy of France.
Mgr. Regnier is careful not to anticipate the
decisions of the approaching Council. Whe-
ther it will pronounce on the propositions con-
tanned in the Syllabus either collectively or in
detail, he cannot tell. " But one thing" he
saws, 81 is certain. Those doctrines will not be
impugned, and will remain intact. They may
be explained, made clearer, developed, SO as TO
put an end, if possible, to the false intcrpreta-
lions which have been affixed to them by pre-
eipitation, ignorance, prejudice; or bad faith,
hut abandoned or called in question, never"
q latitude to those opinions which may be toll
Grated without danger to the Church. The
Council of Trent furnishes an example of the
circumspection with which the Church pro-
ceeds in such matters But no nation can pre-
tend to retain q separate theology and partcu-
lar doctrines within the bosom of the Catholic
Church. The Council will appreciate, observes
Mgr. Regnier, as the Holy See has hitherto APP
preciated, the special circumstances which
render the rigorous application of the canon
law impossible in France, while at the same
time it Introduces into the regulations actual-
ly in force such ameliorations as it may judge
to be desirable. =" But cannot pretend"
continues the Archbishop, :" to any exemptions
which do not naturally flow from the contract
existing between the Holy See and France.
No one amongst us can ever think of invoking
those liberties which weighed SO heavily on
orr Fathers, and of which we have ourselves
felt in some degree the burden during the ear
ly years of our priesthood, nor those customs
which belonged TO a state of things which has
now been dead for century" This is the
light in which the Wanted Gallican liberties,
invented by a despot, are regarded by the work
ing clergy of France. The successor of Fene-
Ion bears well-deserved testimony to the ira
ditions of the diocese which he rules. We
can attest he says, that the faith of this do
cese of Cambria, professed by 1900 priests and
1400 900 of the faithful, is in all things that OF

TALKING AND DRISKING.-Mr. Canning was
once invited to grand banquet by the Fish
mon gers. COMPANY a time Of .rt.:lt public
excitement. When he arrived itNyas minated
that it would be desirable that he shauld give
his sentiments or the then s:aresN1f public
affairs, and that very convenient Zine to do
it would be in acknowledging the health of
his Majesty's ministers. Mr.. Caunin e listened
to the communication gruvely and politely,
hut made answer whatever to it, When he
irose to reply to the toast every body on
tip-tee of xpeetatien, waiting bReathlessly for
some great ministerial revelation-"Gentle-
men," said Mr. Canning, Eve are invited here
to meet the fishmongers. Now the fishmongers
have dealings with the members of very
large community, from whose habits l think
they might be learning something. mean
the community of fishes. The fish is one of
the most uncommunicative animals in creation;
it says nothing, and-it drinks a good deal
Let us then, upon the present occasion, we
are to some extent Brought into their company,
initiate their habits; let us not vast our time
in talking, but drink good dealp And so,
as the reporters say, he resumed his seat
amidst roars of laughter.

CALENDAR OF THE WEEK.

FAST DAY.-As it is contrary to the prac-
tiee of the Church TO observe vigils and
prescribe fasts on Sundays, when feast,
preceded by vigil, occurs on Monday, the
vigil, instead of being observed on Sunday,
is kept on Saturday. This will be the case
on next All Saints Day. The feast occur
ring on Monday, the vigil must be observed
ON the Saturday preceding. Thus, satur-
day, October 30, win be a day of abstinence
for all Catholics, and of fasting for all those
not dispensed for sufficient cause.
