The Protestants oil America, 10 far rs
doctrine Is concerned, are much nearer
approach to a truly Catholic Church than
the Roman Church. The Misguided
followers Of the crossed bishops Of the
United States are not Catholics, but Pa.
pists. Now let me ask pardon for this
apparently intended thrust at the Catho.
lie brethren. beg leave to say that in
writing the foregoing in regard to who
are the. catholics" l was not prompted
by any unkind feeling or sectariau spirit
toward that body Of Christians. / mere.

II you have occasion to speak Of or to
Catholics as u Christian body, call them
Papists, their honest and true name.
Mr.. i. W. Shurtlef, Of Locust Avenue,
West Fairmont, promises the people at
large TO give them an old.fashioned bar.
baCue At his celebrated "Pleasure Gar
dens" on the Fourth Of July. A roasted
OK, music, dancing and apeeCh.making
will be the order Of the day. Colonel
Ben. Wilson, FOntain Smith, Esq,
james Morrow, ir., and several
gentlemen from Wheeling are expected
to be present to speak to the people. A
good time generally is anticipated. BY
the way, il Col. Ben. Wilson speaks here
on the occasion named it will DO an ex.
cellent opportunity for him TO put in an
oar Tor Clarksburg for the future Capt.
tai. The "GlOriOus Fourth" and the
Heroes Of SOvenly.sixp would make first
rate seasoning for u speech on the Capital
question. think the Register ought to
be ashamed Of it, intimation that the
Republicans favor Clarksburg for the
Capital rs a punishment 10 the Demo.
Gratis Of the Third District, when it sees
such sterling and hOnored Democrats as
Col. Ben, Wilson in the field for that
point. The Regiaer knows that politics
have nothing to do with the question OF
locating the Capital; that some Of the
leading, influential Democrats Of the
State are among the greatest advocates
that Clarksburg has.
About six or seven weeks ago Edwin
L. Compton, teller in the First Nation.
al Bank OF this place, left his place OF
business to visit friends in Harrisonburg,
Va, but did not return, 10 the bank or
report his whereabouts in due time. In
vestigation proved that tho young man
had not been worthy Of the confidence Of
the bank or community, and on this &C.
count he had absconded. lie took from
the bank and borrowed from his friends
sums Of money amounting to near $500.
No word could be heard from him from
any quarter, and no was accordingly
given up as having absconded and secret.
ed himself to avoid the shame and pun
ishment Of his misdeeds. On last Sun.
day, however, the cashier Of the bank,
Mr.. Joseph +. Sands, received letter
from him, postmarked New York, in
which he acknowledges his badness, and
expresses himself us truly sorry for
having betrayed the great confidence re-
posed in him by his employers and the
high circle OF friends in which be moved.
The only remarkable feature in this af-
fair is that the young man could get the
consent OF his mind TO sell his character
so cheaply. But for his absenting HIM.
self from the country, nothing that
he did would have been re.
garded as criminal. 1t is proper to
state here that he has returned some
clothing and other articles which he had
borrowed and purchased on credit. TAX
ing everything connected with the case
into consideration, it really appears as if
the young man was laboring under insan.
ity at the time he determined upon dis
sOlute life. He had hitherto stood high
in the estimation Of this community, and
promised to be man of great business
capacity and usefulness in the future.
In my letter TO the IHTELLIGEEcER Of
the Sth inst, l made a mistake in an.
nouncing the time Of the meeting Of the
Union soldiers at this place. Although
deprecated the object Of the meeting,
for reasons which | gave, had no inten.
ton Of misleading the public rs to the
time Of the meeting. should have said
the meeting Of the 81 inst. adjourned
to meet again on Saturday, the 10Th
inst, instead of the 18th, as il
was printed. The error was no doubt
committed by the compositor, rs the for.
nation OF the sentence clearly indicates.
For instance, there is no Saturday, the
25th, in this month. At any rate, / now
say the meeting will be held at the Court
llousc, this place, Saturday, June 18th.
still, however, deprecate the object Of
the meeting. | still fail to sec the neces.
sity for the Union soldiers holding n
meeting for the purpose Of organizing
themselves for mutual protection. But
as gave my objections TO such move.
ment in my letter preceding this, l shall
not repeat them here.
On last night there was "parlor en-
tertainment" at the Town Hall, which
which was largely attended. The exer.
cisea were literary and musical in their
character. The proceeds Of the enter
tainment are intended to aid the Masonic
Society Of this town in erecting their con-
tcmplated new hall.
Tho Hirginian Of last week, l notice,
still frets itself over its awkward posi-.
ton on the Capital question; still AYERS
that it now is, always was, and ever e1-
poets to be, for Clarksburg; still contends
that its contemporaries, and certain cor.

Unfortunate Virginia.! Poor (truIy |

Capital question. II the Nrgiaian men

OF course, they no doubt feel little soro

port Of Clarksburg, but il they will only |
possess their souls in peace until their
sore place quits hurting, they will feel
ever so much better. They will thank
every one that had hand in forcing
them to do their duty-in urging them
to obey the will OF tho people whom they
pretend to serve.
