Pope says:


"Your Majesty is we'll aware that, in
order effectively 10 repair the evils occa-
stoned by the revolution, and to bring
back, as soon as possible, happy days tor
the church, the Catholic religion must,
above all things, continue to be the glory
and the mainstay of the Mexican nation,
to the exclusion of every other dissenting
worship that the Bishop must be per-
fectly free in the exercise ip their pas
toral ministry that the religious orders
should DE re.estabished or reorganized,
conformably with the instructions and the
powers which we have given that the
patrimony of the church aud the right
which attach to it may be maintained and
protected that no person may obtain the
faculty Of teaching and publishing false
and subversive tenets; that instruction,
whether public or private, should be di-
rected and watched over by the ecclesias-
tical authority and that, in short, the
chains may be broken which, up to the
present time, have held down the church
in a state of dependence and subject to
the arbitrary rule of the civil government.

How TO Cool WATER.-At this season
of the year cool draught of water is a
luxury, which we may enjoy with a little
care. By the following method simple and
inexpensive, water may be kept almost as
cold as ice. Let the jar, pitcher or vessel
used for water, be surrounded with one
or more folds of coarse cotton, to be con-
stantly wet; the evaporation Of the water
will carry off the heat from the inside and
reduce it to low temperature. In India
and other tropical countries, where ice
cannot be procured, this expedient is COM
mon.-Let every mechanic and laborer
have at the place Of his work two pitchers
thus provided, and with lids or covers
one to contain fresh water for the evapora-
tion. and he can always have a supply of
cool water in warm weather. Any person
may test this by dipping finger in water
and holding it in the air on warm day;
after doing this three or four times he
will find his finger uncomfortably cool.
This plan will save the bill for ice besids
being more hcalthful. The free use of ice
water often produces arrangement of the
internal organs which we conceive, is due
to property Of the water independent
of its coldness.

IT'S many days since left home


To join our flying army;
thought but of but my own escape.
tho ught of what might harm me.
ran so very fast away


That scarcely they could find me,
Alasl these mem ries make me think
Of the hoops left benin me.
We travelled over brush and brake,
Through swamp and forest speeding;
In the disorder of our fight


They always found me leading.
The mem'ry Of that "wlld-goose chase"
Serves but to remind me,
With deeper pangs of anguish still,
OF the hoops left behind me.
They chased us down, they found us in
The sombre forest sleeping,
The dawn of day was in the east,


The bullfrogs all were peeping;
They reused us from our slumbers sweet,
With cords and chains entwined me.
The y took away my shawl and cloak.
And the hoops left behind me.
They took us back from whence we'd fed
thought my heart was breaking,
To come back to where once I'd thought
An empire was making;
They keep me now in Fort Monroe,


With guards and chains they bind me,
And still mourn, like Rachel, for


The hoops l left behind me.

E Platonic love, says the philadelpLia Sun
dav Herald, is very well in a novel bnt it is
not encountered in This matter of fact world
of ours, and men and women generniiy act
like sensible human beings when they come
to love each other sufficiently to induce mar
rage "Love in a cottage is no longer to
be thought Of and people now look forward
and count the costs before the bans are pub
lished. Bouse-rent and the cost of a grad

by the prudent. and in these matters most
people are decidedly prudent But in spite
of this general rn'e, applicable to the married
state, we have Just heard of case which
proves that if wives could be permitted to
pursue the course adopted by the lady in
question, there would be no necessity for
care and anxiety in regard to the price of
fannels, small clothes. cradles and toys The
case to which we refer came before our Court
of.Colnmon Pleas, in the shape of a bill for
divorce fled by Sir. E, in which he pray
ed to be relieved from the bonds which bound
him to his wife Dorothea, His petition and
the testimony taken before an Examiner, de-
veloped most curiouS state of affairs. Mr..
f., alleged that meyer since the day Of his
marriage. twelve years before the day of the
petition, had his wife allowed him the rights





and most carefully kept 1inat arms length.
This he bore calmly and meekly for twelve
long years. until forbenrance ceased to be a
virtue. and hence the srit for 6ivorca. No
doubt he was in,pele,l to this proceeding by
= the fact that his wife nor enly denied him his
marital privileges, bat she went further, and
boasted Of the circumstances to her female
friends, and jjeered at them fer their folly in
assisting to popnlate the world She detail
ed to these friends the success of her own
plan, and gloated er Inc Immunity she had
gained thereby. According tothe testimony
the curious fact in the married life Of Mr..
and Mrs. E.. was well known in the family,
and formed the suhjecs Of frequent conversa
ton. Mr. Z. was approached by his relatives
and friends with remenstranees and aentrea-
ties, and was urged time and again to put
an end to this awkward condition of affairs.
To all he Invariably answered that he loved
his wife and was desirous Of doing nothing
that would cause her pain and uneasiness
and for that reason he wouid not apply for a
divorce. Twelve years Of this kind of life at
last broke his resolution, and into court he
went where the whole case was laid before
an Examiner, and upon his report the Court
granted a divorce to the miserable man.

The Tribune sheds an abundance of
crocodile tears over the fact that the
democratic Convention of the l4ih inst.
did not place in nomination for Clerk of
the Court and School Superintendent, the
names of returned soldiers The soldiers
asked for none Of these Offices for any Of
their brave comrades, and recognize the
nominees as their friends, and will despise
all such attempts to wean them from their
allegiance to the true principles Of govern
ment, or to drive them into the support
of negro suffrage and negro equality.
They have the courage to face the enc
mics Of the white mans government
whether it require. bullets or. ballots.
These soldiers are made of sterner material
than the softs of the Tribune clique sup
pose, and know and can appreciate true
friendship. Why did not this same clique
who have held the Offices for the past
four years under the general government
give way for the appointment OF some o.!
these returned soldiers! Did they do it ?
No. They had the opportunity to sur
render fat places, but did not dc so Out
upon such hypocrites.


Our Senator and Members Of Assembly
voted at the last session, for all measures
for the relief of soldiers and soldiers,

half, and he will pursue the same course
in the coming session, and will be backed

As early as July 18th, 1861, the project
of Disunion was broached by the Hon. Ben
ialnin Wood in the following resolution of
fered in the House of Representatives,
which received the vote of every Democrat
ic member


'ResolUed, That this Congress recon-
mend the Governors Of the several States
to convene their Legislature for the purpose
of calling an election to select two delegates
from each Congressional District to meet In
general Convention at Louisville in Ken
lucky, on the first Monday in September
next; the purpose Of the said Convention
to be to devise measures for the restoration
of peace to our country.


The revolutionary project was allowed to
sleep for q year, when the disasters of the
Penlnsular campaign encouraged an attempt
to revive it.


Mr. William b. Reed came forward to
feel the way. In August, 1862, he publish
ed his ''Vindication, in which he affected
to believe that restoration of the Union
was impossible, and that all that remained
for US was to decide upon the new leagues
which should be formed. To accomplish
this, he preferred separate State action.


1t the choice be between continuance
of the war, with Its attendant sufFerings and
demoralization, certain miseries and uncer-
tain results, and a recognition OF the South
ern Confederacy; / am in favor of recogni-
ton of course making the Abolition Party
responsible for this dread necessity. The
blood of the Union is on them.


IF it be choice between the slow but
ultimately successful conduct of the war,
the subiugation of the Southern States,
tenure as mere military provinces, involving
of course a radical change in the political
organization of the triumphant North, so as
virtually to abrogate State rights and create
a centralized domination with all the heresis
of the day engrafted, and peaceabIe recog-
milton, | still prefer recognition,


IF the inquiry be further pressed as to
how would arrange the terms of paciica-
tion and recognition. ...I do not hesitate to
say that, dodge or defer it as we may, in my
opinion the decisien-I mean as to limits
and possible as to debt-must be made by
the States and their citizens, acting as they
did, when seventy years ago they entered
into the Federal compact. There is no

A sample of the temper of the Southern
people is to be found in the action of the
Alabama Convention, refusing to repudiate
the Confederate State debt This debt was
contracted for the sole purpose of oyerturn-
ing the United States Government, and now
that Alabama is preparing to Ie-enter the
Union, she cody filings into the teeth of the
Government the insulting declaration that
she intends to shoulder the debt incurred in
her rebelhous efforts to throw off its author
ity. In other words, Alabama declares that
she thinks secession was legitimate busi-
ness and that all debts incurred in carrying
it on should be paid. She believes she was
right in what she did, and is sorry only that
she failed.

Southern States, and when the way is clear,
