The Last Fighting.

J. Q. A. Young. Go. B. 2Ist Pa. Cav, Railroad,

Is, an article by s. II. Colborne 4th Pa. Cav,
in regard to the last campaign from Sailors
Creek to Appomattox. where he says the 10th
Pa Cav made the last charge at Appomattox,
aud the 4th Pa. Cav. resisted the last attack
made by the enemy and did the last firing done
that day. Now. don't wish to deprive either
the 4th or the 10Th Pa. Cav. of any laurels they
have won, but the above record does not fit any
recollection of the last charge and fighting done
at App0matt0x. / always thought the 21st Pa.
Cav. had the honor of making the last charge
ON that memorable day. Before Gen. Ord's
troops relieved Us, the Dist Pa. Cav. was on, /
thought, the extreme left of line; part of the
regiment had dismounted, prepared to fight on
foot. The left OF the regiment was on the
Lynchburg pike. After being relieved by the
Army Of the James, we went 10 the rear and
faced the rebel cavalry. Our regiment was
ordered to charge in solid column, eight abreast,
on the pike, and we put the rebels on The re-

Feb. 16, where Capt. J. w. Barney, 1st Del,
SAYS: The Second Corps was made up of this
kind of material. Gen. Hancock was with us
ON the 18th OF June, 1864 g The con-
test was hot one, and the mistake seemed to
be that The raw material had been placed in
front, viz, the 7th and 5th n. Y. Fl. A., who
had never been under fire before etc. This
shows how much the Captain knows about the
9Th n. Y Ii. A. They were rot raw material,
for they had been under fire the first time at
Spottsylvania, where they lost quite number,
and from that time they were in every engage-
ment. At Cold Harbor they lost over 500 out
of the regiment, June 3, 1864 At the battle
of Spottsyivania they were complimented by
Gen. Meade the next morning for good conduct
under fire."

ATTACKS ON CATHOLICISM

ATTACK UPON ROME.

Rev. j. w. McComb breaches the First OF .
Series of Anti-Cathoiic Sermons.
The Rev. j. w. McComb delivered the
first of series of sermons on Catholicism
at the Olive-street Presby terian Church
last night. He spoke in substance as fol-
lows: IF there is anv apology necessary to
the Christian public for bringing forward
thissub bject on the present occasion il VIII be
found In the fact that we are confronted
with q danger that threatens our liberties
rs American citizens. and &C the same time
threatens the suppression OF the sacred
volume. The Bible 10 our greatest safe
guard. the foundation Of o nations great
ness and nations power. The stream OF
history. In so far rs IL relates to the pspal
church. is one that is mingled with the
blood and tears of millions.
Rome has proved the greatest foe to
civil and religious freedom wherever she
has gained q foothold. which we illustrate
Dy pointing TO spain, Austria and other
countries more or less under her power.
The Bible has proved an important factor
IN the liberation of peoples. morally and
socially. hence the hostility that Rome
has ever manifested to the Bible. bellev-
ing that she can only accomplish her pur-
poses by keeping the people ignorant of Its
great and eternal truths.
I'VE are not surprised to learn that she
has shown her antagonism to the Bible by
frequently consigning it to the tiamesin the
presence of her people. We have not to
refer alone to the centuries that are past
when this wis common occupation OF
Romanists; but even In this nineteenth
century it has been evidenced. as for in
stance. some years ago. at Champlain, n.
u, when Romish priests consigned the
sacred Scriptures to the flames amid the
jeeTs OF a large crowd of spectators who
gathered to witness the event. thus out
raging the feelings of Protestant Amer
leans.
I'm 1887. in county Fermanagb. Ireland.
In certain village which the Protestant
Inhabitants had vacated on q certain day
for O few hours' festivity, many priests and
their people gathered in from the surround
ing counties. lit huge bonfire. In to which
they threw many volumes of the sacred
word thus causing the righteous indigna-
tlon of the Protestant people of the north.
Yes. the old spirit still lives. It is high
time for us to awake from the deep sleep
into W hieh we have fallen.
Rome loves darkness. TIE Bible loves
the light. aud 1t has revealed itself TO be
that hich brings the greatest and highest
blessings to mankind. and yet it is against
the free propagation of this book In the
vulgar tongue that Rome hurls her bitter
est and most thunderous auathemas."
Sermons on the same subject will be de-
hvered next Sunday and the succeeding
Sunday.

PHILANTHROPY AND DOGMA.

Emotional and intellectual Extremes Of Re-
ngion-westSi6e Mission.
Rev. w. B. Dunham preached yesterday
at Mt. Jackson on THE Peace of Christ"
His text was:
Let the peace OF Christ rule In your hearts.
Let the word of Christ dwell In you richly.
Col. iii, Is, 10.
He said among other things: THAT
was peculiar legacy that the Lord left to
those who would become His followers.
and He left it ct very strange time and
under most trying circumstances. He left
them no silver nor any gold, but that
which was far more precious than either.
My peace leave with you. Uttered as 1t
was IN HIS hour of trial one would suppose
that the thought that would have occupied
His mind would have been anything but
peaceful. The peace of Christ then,
of which the apostle speaks and
winch he would have rule in the heart
must mean the same peace that Christ left
to His disciples. 1t is q priceless legacy,
and one that the world cannot supply that
Will enable one to pass through terribl con-
flict as the Savior did. When We have that
peace we have that same submission to

THE CONFESSION OF FAITH.

Rev. Aliens Views Upon the Doctrinal Ques-
tions of the Presbyterian Church
The Rev. f. A. Allen delivered a doc-
trlnal sermon at the Sixth Presby terian
Church yesterday upon the proposed re-
vision of the Confession of Faith. taking
as a text Thes.. v. 81: Prove all things;
hold fast to that which is good" He di-
vided the church into three classes on the
question of the revision; those who wished
the Confession of Faith to stand with an
explain atory declaration; those who favored
revision as proposed by the committee;
those who would supplant 1t with q new
and shorter creed. The revisionists urge
their claims on the grounds that the Con-
fession Is antiquated language. narrow.
teaches damnation OF infants and
sovereignty of God To the extent
of fstalism. and also the sentiment against
the oreed by those outside the chufch.
The antiquated language was admitted.
but question made as 20 its being obJec-
tionable. Its narrowness was denied, as
was also the dsmnation of infants, and
Lyman Abbott was quoted as saying that
the Confession of Faith did not teach thas
doctrine. The real controversy. however,
is on the question of Gods sovereignty.
The language of the Confession of Faith
was ably defended, and revision, or toniDQ
down, vehemently opposed. The freedom
of man admitted does not conflict with tho
sovereignty of God. who is not as some of
the revisionists desire to say, "a little
sovereign" He Is either sovereign OF not
sovereign. and Mr.. Alien preferred to say
that he was sovereign" The last OBJ
jeotion, that there was a sentiment outside
the church against the creed was con-
sidered unworthy consideration by the
church. and met with the argument that
there was n strong sentiment in the church
for the creed.
Tabernacle Will support q kindergarten.
The congregation of the Tabernacle Pres
byterIan Church listened to sermon a
week ago yesterday on the sub
ject of kindergartens and it had
such good effect that last week
q number of members of the ocngre-
CATION subscribed q sum sufficient TO sup
port the new school tor white children
which has been started on the West Side.
There was some danger that the school for
whites would have to be abandoned.
This generous response will be greatly APP
prcciated. not only by the kindergarten
society but by the little children. who
were about to be deprived of their school.
The school for both colorad and white had
grown to such proportions that without
this help the white children would have
had to be put out.
