CONFEDERATE DEAD USE ARTHED-TWENTY AOBES or H cat AS BOXES.-The Richmond Die paton svys : While our ladies are mounding and decora ting the israves in Oakwood, and while the massive stone monument to the memory of those who lie in Hollywood is gradually ap? proach mg oo upietioD, it is distressing to hear of the neglect of the bones of those who are baned where ?hey fell-on the hillsides and m tho valleys in other parts of the State. The reporte th t reach na ot the sacreligious con? duct of many Virginia farmers are so shocking that we hesitate to give them credence, al? though our duty as journalists requires us t> lay them before our readers. A few weeks ago we published an account of the state of affairs st Fort Harrison, which subsequent Investi? tion proved too true. Now comes a most harrowing story from Malvern Hill, where so many of oor best and bravest witb theil last drops of blood sealed their devotion to tbe Boothern cause. On the northwest side ot the fort a moot terrible aeons pres nts Used. Thousands of Confederate soldieib having been buried where they fell, twenty acres or more have just been ploughed up by the own? er of the field, and the ploughshare turned to the surface all the skeletons. Over the whole tract the bones are strewn in profusion, and gritooinir skulls stare the visitors io the face on every hand. When the farm r was ques? tioned, he Stad the land was now the richest piece he bad; sud, in justification of the eaori iegioub act, stated that "he didn't put 'em there, nohow." The writer learned afterward, that the bones had been token awav by the ont load and sold tq fVrttliain-.-mills in Rich? mond. Two nananne men, .too poor to do anv thing else, carno on J day we were there and attempted to burn some of the bones to pre? vent toe wretches from carting them off. THE CATHOLIC HI EE Alt CHT. Pastoral Letter of Archbishop Spalding and the Suffragan Prelates of the Bal? timore Council-Their Views on Port? ly Secular Education-Infanticide one of the Alleged Resalta-The Reli? gions interests of the Colored Knee. The pastoral letter of Archbishop Spalding and the Suffragan prelates of the province of j Baltimore, at th 3 close of the tenth Provincial Council, May, 1869, was read in the Catholic Churches of Baltimore, on Sundfy last. On the subject of education the letter says : Bitter experience convinces us daily more and more that a purely seoolar education, to the exclusion of a religious training, is not only an imperfect system, but is attended with the most disastrous consequences to the indi? vidual and to society. Among Catholics there cannot be two opinions about this subject, and I ve are happy to see that this practical (ruth i? beginning to find acceptance also in the minds of reflecting men among our separated breth? ren. While we are gratified at witnessing so many intelligent persons throughout the coun? try embracing the true faith, we are obliged to confess with sorrow that ? greater number are lost to the church, 'lhere is no exaggera? tion in Baying now what Bishop England felt it his sacred duty to state many years ago, that hundreds, nay thousands, of, souls- annually stray away from tho-fold in this country on ac? count of their early religious education. ' If we look for the descendants of those numerous Catholic families which have emigrated to this country during the past and present century, we will find that many of them have wandered away from the Jaith of their fathers, and not a few of them are now ranked among the most active and unrelenting enemies _pf the Church of God. The only way to arrest ibis evil which we deplore, ia .to make, ample provision for the moral and religions training of our youth. The clergy are exhorted to establish paro? chial schools everywhere us soon as practica? ble. Under the head of the "Murder of the lu nocen ts," the Bishop expresses the following strong language : The- abiding interest all feel in the preser? vation of the morals of our country constrains US to raise our voice against the daily increas? ing practice of infanticide, especially before birth. The notoriety which this monstrous crime han obtained of late, and the hecatomb J o* infanta that are annually eaciino d to Mo-' ; loch to gratify an unlawful passion, are a suffi [ cient justification tor, our alluding to a painful and d?licate s object, which should not even be mentioned among Christians. We may observe that the crying sin of infanticide is most pre? valent m those localities where the system of .education without religion bas been longest established, and been moat successfully car? ried ont. Tho'inhuman crime might be com? pared to the murder of the "Innocents," except that the criminal in this case exceed in enormi? ty the cruelty of Herod. If it is a sin to take away the Ufe even of an enemy; if the crime of | shedding innocent blood cries to Heaven for vengeance, in what language can we characterize the double guilt of those whose couls are stained with the innocent blood of their own unborn, unregenerate offspring. The murder ot an infant before its birth is, in tbe sight of God and of his Churcb, as great a crime as would be the killing of a child after 'birth, with this aggravating circumstance, that in the former case the unborn child dies deprived of the essential grace of baptism. No mother is allowed, under any circumstances, to permit tbe death of ber unborn infant, not even lor the sake of preserving her own Ute, because the end never justifies the means; and we must not do evil that good may come from it. We confidently believe that you beloved children in Christ, are strangers to this unnat? ural vice. Oar words, therefore, are language rather of warning than of reproof. The dan? gerous amusements, prominent among the j evils we have to deplore, and which is an evi? dence of the growing licentiousness of thj ( times, may be reckoned a morbid taste for in- t decent publications, and the frequency of im? moral or positively obscene theatrical perform? ances. No entertainments seem sufficient to satisfy the fast degenerating spirit of the age, unless they be highly sensational, and calcula? ted to gratify tue most prurient appetites. We can hardly say who deserve a stronger COD dem- ] nation-the actors who pander to the most . vitiated, tastes, or tho- audience who en? courage, by their presence, and apphud ? these grossly indelicate exhibitions. Both actors and spectators appear to vie with each in their rapid march down the slip- , pery path of sin. We deem it particularly . our solemn duty to renew our warning against , the modem fashionable daoees, commonly j called 'German,' or round dances, which are - becoming more and more the occasions of sins, j These practices are so mnoh the more danger? ous, ae moat persons seem to look opon them aa harmless, and indulge in them without any ?, apparent remorse of conscience. But divine , revelation, the wisdom of antiquity, the light 1 of reason and of experience, aU oon-mr in pro? claiming that these kind of entertainments ic am ot be indulged ni by any virtuous person s, unless they be more than human, without detriment to then* souls, or even be present to take part in such amusements, where the eye, is dallied by an array of fascinating objects, where the senses are captivated bv enchanting music, md the heart is swayed to aud fro amid the surrounding gaiety and excitement. Under the head of "Our Colored Brethren," the prelates say : Aa the father of the late plenary council thought it expedient that all measures to be adopted for the religious improvement of the colored race should be referred to the provis? ional councils, we deem it our dnty in the pres? ent instance to invite your attention to this important- subject. Our colored brethren sbonld have a large share in the ex? ercise of our zeal, particularly in those sec? tions of the piovince where they are more nu? merously congregated. Our Heavenly Father, whose benign providence watches over tbe humblest of His creatures on earth, as well as over the highest angels m Heaven, enjoins on the pastors of his Churcb the duty of minis? tering witta equal care to the lewly and the great. God forbid that we should exercise less vigilance in laboriog for the eal vat iou of those immortal souls whom God created in his own image and likeness, and for whom bis only begotten Son did not disdain to die. The Churcb, while careful never unduly to dis? turb the established relations existing be? tween the diff?re ot c lassoo of society, makes no distinction of persons in the distribution of her heavenly gifts, and she honors alike her devot? ed missionaries whether they evangelize the j white race like St. Franois De Sales, or the Ja ! pariese like St. Francas Xavier, or the negro 1 slave of Cartbagena Uko blessed Peter Claver. 0, let us then, like our glorious model, St. ! lani, become weak to the weak, that we may i gain the weak; let ns become all thmgB to all ! men, that we mav eave all; remembering that, like bim, we are debtors to all-the Greek and barbarian, to Jew and Gentile, to bond and tree. The colored people are tractable, and generally crattful for our ministration. Their unsettled and abnormal condition, necessarily arising from their sodden ?mancipation, snould toe more actively exoite our sympathy. We that -are stronger ought to beur with the in? firmities of tba weak; We therefore desire that separate cehools- and cburoues be estab? lished for. the blacks wherever they may be deemed practicable and expedient. Where spe? cial school? are not erected for thom, evory fa? cility should be afforded tor their religious and moral training as far as circumstances will per? mit.- . ' .-i. The letter closes with congratulations to the Pope,' and says tbe reign of Pius IX, who now happily occupies the chair of St. Peter,- will bo one of the most noted in the annals of tho Church, whether we consider the long duration of his pontificate, the momentous events which have occurred during the trials and vicissitudes through which he has passed, or tho sublime virtues which have signalized bis glorious career. The pastoral is signed by the prelates of the council representing the States of Penn? sylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia West Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. It is ordered that the Jolter shall be read in all the churches of tue province the Sunday after its reception. FATAL BX?ULT or KEBOSEKE.-Mr?. Richard .v'ilson, of Crownsvi lu.

WHITE HOUSE INTRIGUES. A Venerable Parent's Youthful Flirta tation and tbe < ongeijamcta-Karly Love Rewarded with a Fat Oiflce, Aie. DOD Piatt writes from New York to the Cin taati Commercial as follows : It is really refreshing in tbis day of fierce competition for office, when the struggling thousands remorselessly trample each otber down, to meet with one kind, impulsive na tore, fall of milk ss an Alderney cow, and im Eul sive as a bey. Such a nature is the ven?ra? le Jesse, "the flower"-I beg pardon, the fa? ther-of our beloved and cherished chief ma? gistrate. This good old man has seen many years of troubled life, and. although winters of many years have silvered his venerable head, his heart ia as youthful and fresh as in his early spring-time, wben he was a beau among the girls and an athlete among the men. I have jost heard an instance of this from the Professor, who is here studying music at the Fifth Avenue Opera House, and perfect i nc bis French accent by listening to tbe sweet voices of Tostee and Irma. The instance re? news mv admiration of the venerable Mr. tirant. He is such a dear old gentleman. It seems that during the summer that preceded the Presidential election, the old gentleman re? visited some scenes of his youth that exist about Ravenna, Portage County, Ohio. When be was a sportive young man. he loved and courted a fascinating girl. But. alack aud alas! the course of true love did not run smooth. lu fact, it run over a dam, or several damns, and falling on the ro?ks below, snlit all to pieces. To come down from my symbol? ical comparison, the gay young Jesse, the flower, &o., was jilted. He returned to find bis former love an aged widow, with a family of children, one of these a girl-no, not exactly a girl, but a young widow, looking as much lise her fascinating motlier at the same age. Is not this b autiful ? Does it not read like a fairy tale? What a charming thing Offen? bach could make of it. He wou'd shift, the scene to a later day, after the 4th of March, in? deed, so as to briner in the Presidential man? sion, w'th General Dent, bigh custodian of the card-basket and guardian of the boot-jack, and the smoking President. And the two would sing a comic song, with a lively chorus from the office-seekers, and then all would break into the can-can. Hut 1 digress. The old gentleman saw his former love, a id to conceal his tumultuous feelings, jested with her: "Ain't you sorry," he said, "that you refused me; yon might be DOW the mother of the Gen? eral, and may be the President?" The old lady laughed, and merrily assented. "Never mind," the old man ohed: "I will take the same care ot you as if you were my wife. Who's your Congressman?" "General Garfield." "Ahl that Rosecrans' feller Well, I'll take the patronage of this district in my own hands. Ill make your daughter postmaster of this fc>WD.* The good people took this as a merry jest from the kind-hearted old maa, and thought uo more of it. The election came off, and after the inauguration the citizens moved to turn out the Johnson postmaster and put in a good Republic n. The election was held, and the victorious candidato Bent on bis credentials to General Garfield. That excellent gentleman proposed to file the same, with an earnest re? commendation. Before this could be written, be road, with blank amazement, in the Chroni? cle, that the name of Mrs. -had boon sent lu by the President. To catch a hack and burry ap lo the White House was the work of a few minutes. Ucnerai GarfieH stands very high in the esti nation of the administration, and he was at once admitted. "I came to inquire, Mr. President, npoa whose recommendation yon sent Mrs.-as Postmistress at Bavenna ?" "Upon the recommendation of my fat dor," esponded the President. "He know? tbe furn i y very well." "Does he know that this young woman is not inly uoqualifiei-that she is entirely incapable, brough lack of education, to carry on the office -but there ir. great indignation in Raveunu iver her appointment ?" "I can't MV, indeed," responded tho Presi? dent, "but I certainly don't wish to appoint inch a perron to office." "Will yon recall tbe nomination, then, Mr. President, and permit me to leave with you the iapers of the successful candidate ?" "Ii you mil have the confirmation del rived or awhile, I will certainly send in the name of be gentleman you recommend." General Garfield hastened to the Senate, saw be committee, and bad the young widow su? perseded. But tho venerable Jesse heard of b.is interference of the "Bosycranze man" in ais bit of tender solicitude, and intervened. Sot at all staggered by the fact that the daugh? ter of bis love could not re id writing, he at moo made arrangements with the defeated candidate in tho election, to go into the office md do the duties thereof, at a reasonable com? pensation, while the tau* widow enjoys thc pro ata. Wita ibis understanding the daughter of the old love was oonfiimed. Gould anything be more tender, touching and beautiful than this ? The venerable Jesse is an oasis in a desert. He is the greenest thing to be found ia the dry waters of politics. Let us be thankful, however, that he was not ' a Don Juan, and had few loves. D. P. SUICIDE OF A GERMAN ACTRESS IJT SAN FRANCISCO. At about half-past 5 o'clock last evening, Mrs. Oigo Von Phttersdorff committed suicide at her residence on Rearny-street between Vallejo and (?reen streets, by taking prussic acid, and died in about an hour after taking the fatal draught. Th:? is perhaps one of the most distressing cases ot suicide that has occurred m this city for some tit-re, aud, judging from the antece? dents of the deceased lady, it is not unlikely that the act was committed under circumstan? ces wbic'i must call forth the commiseration and sympathy of all. Mrs. Voa Plittersdorf! was born in Germany, and was of noble blood. She was heiress to and inherited a princely fortune, but having adopted the stage at an early age ?he spent the greater part of h sr wealth in the accumulation of a wardrobe, which she afterward disposed of in this city. Among them was the "Queen's robe," a dress ot beautiful crimson satin, tiimmed with er? mine and gilt medallions ; chantilly dresses and vel vets of every color. Her adoption ot the stage arose not ?rom want of wealth, bat she waa actuated ia adopt - ing it by a nature (nil of romance, and a de? sire and love for legitimate tragedy, in the different European cities where Mrs. Von Plit? tersdorf appeared she was always well receiv? ed, and was not only considered a success, but achieved a high reputation, and euch a one as she might well feel proud of. Atter she had followed ber profession she got married, but her husband failing, abe determined to visit America and bring him with hei. She did so, and again adopted the s age as a means of re? gaining at least a portion of the money abe bad spent, and of obtaining a living. But it ap? pian she met with only very indifferent soo-, cess. She then left the East ?nd oumo to Cali? fornia, where fortune seemed to smile still more unfavorably upon ber, for about s:x .veoks ago she lost her husband. The death of hoi husband tppeared to have borne heavi? ly upon her She not only renounced her favorite profession, but she flung aside ber queenly robes and jewels and appeared io a suit of solemn black, and even wished that sho, too, were dead-was resting beside him whom she loved dearly and well-for whom she had sacrificed a hom? and i fort uno, and trod the sboies or p distant land. Even in death she loved him with & feeling which calls forth our syrupithy and our admi? ration. Up lo the time of her death, we are informed, she visited tin grave of her husband daily, decorating it with Howers and with her tears. Sinco hi? death she Bold ail her riob and soatly robey, together with her jewels, ex? cept some which h id been given her ty her husband, aud wt.icu sho held in fond remem? brance of him who wa-j now uo more. Her last request was that she should bs laid beside her husband, and it may probably prove to bo the fact that the rash act by which s ie lauec i t-d herself into eternity was a desire to bj united With him from whom she had ocen sep? arated. She has left several letters, which aro at present in the hands of the coron r. and whioh will probably throw some light on the oircumstanoes winch led to the termination of horlif'. 1'be deceased wile about thirty yeurs of age.-San Francisco Bulletin.

Dr. Curry, on submitting the report of the com mittee, spoke of the difficulty in reaching the females of heathen lands. In snob lands be said there was no schools for the special edu cation of females. It was the Gospel alone that could elevate the females of heathen lands to their true position, as equals and helpmeets to man. And as females in China were exclu ded from public intercourse with foreigners the only way to reach them was through thc na-tive population. Rev. Dr. Williams, of Baltimore, Md., spoke on the report. Me considered tbat there was no more important subject before the conven? tion than that of foreign /missions. Every agent doubtless considered'the interest wi tb which he was connected tbe interest. He was no agant himself, but such was bis opinion of foreign missions.

A ure company has been organized at Marion Courthouse. The residence of Mr. G. G. Crawford was en? tered and robbed, on last Sunday nicht, while the family was at cnurch. of a gun, several articles of clothing, Ac. No clue to the thieves. The Marion Star of Wednesday says : diabolical effort was made on Saturday nicht last to murder and rob F. A. Miles, Esq., ene of our most respected and exemplary citizens, residing at Mi lee vii le, six miles west of the vil lace. Tho facts as related to aa are these : Saturday nicht, about twelve o'clock, justas Mr. Miles closed his store door, and bet?re he had lime to bolt it, two men, apparently black, forced the door open, and with pistols and bowie knives, made a murderous and deadly onslaught on bim, shooting and cutting with a heavy knife at the same time. Mr. Miles, who is the very soul of cour? age, seized a chair near by, determined to seli his life as dear as possible, but such was the proximity of tbe assassins that the force of his blow was uneffective; he then seized a double-barrelled gun, which was in? stantly craeped by one of the robbers, who prevented any effective use of it by Mr. Miles -the other murderer all the while using bis knife with telling effect. Mr. Miles closed in with both of them, and the fight continued until the parties crossed tbe railroad some thirty ur forty feet from the store door, when the gun was wrenched from the hands of Mr. Miles, and he was felled to the ground and left in a senseless condition. In tbe meantime Mr. Miller, the clerk, had been shot through the arm and stabbed twice. Mr. Miles received three dangerous wounds with a knife on his bead, one of wLich in the back part rendors bis condition very critical. After the assassins had succeeded iu knocking Mr. Miles senseless with the double barrel gun, they ran off, leaving a pair of sboes, a bat and ptBlol, all of which have been identified as be? longing to tbe parties arrested and lodged in jail. Sheriff Collins, with commendable prompt? ness, as soon as the intelligence of the affair reacbed him, took a voluntary posse, and re? paired to Mr. Miles' store, and before the sun set had a rested and lodged in jail two white men, Ned and James Wiggins, brothers, young and stalwart, between the ages of twen? ty and twenty-five, to whom the finger of sus? picion points as the cowardly perpetrators." Of weather and crops the Star says : "Since our last iRsue we have had reconstructed weather, if cold, chilly nights and frosty mornings are evidences of reconstruction. Last Wednesday there was quite a hailstorm in the neighborhood of Gaddy's Mills. Cotton is coming np badly and looking sickly. We bear of some of our planters who aie replanting." ?Harneo.

The physical structure of the strongest haman be? log la vulnerable every ?here. Our bodies are en? dowed by enturo with a certain negative power, which protects them, to some ci tout, from unwhole? some ioflaencoa; bat this protection is imperfect, and cannot be safely retied on hi unhealthy regions, or under circumstances of more than ordinary dan ger. Therefore, it is wisdom, it is prudence, lt is common sense to provide against such contingencies, by taking an AirxOOCT nv ADVANCE; in other words, by fortifying the system with HOSTETTKB'S STO? MACH BITTERS-the moat complete protective against all the epidemic and endemic maladi s that has ever been administered in any country. As a remedy for Dyapepaia, there is no medicine that will compare with it Whoever suffers the pangs of in? digestion, anywhere on the rael of the earth where HOsTETTEB'd STOMACH BUTE BS can be pro? cured, does bo voluntarily; for, aa surely aa truth exlats, this iuvaluable TONIC and AXITZBATTVX would restore his diso nie: ed stomach to a healthy condi? tion. To the nervous lt ia also especially recom? mended, and ba c?sea of confirmed constipation lt also affords speedy and permanent relief. In ail cases of fever and ague tbe BITTERS ls more potent than any amount of quinine, while the moat dangerous cases of bilious fever yield to its wonderful properties Those who have tried the medicine wfll never use another, for any of the ail? ments which the HOSTET TER BITTERS professes to snbdue. To those who have not mad? the ex? periment we cotdlaily recommend an early appli? cation to the BITTERS whenever they are stricken by disease of tho digestive organs. t ay 8_nae_6_ 49-NO CURE I NO PAY 1-FORREST'S JUNIPER TAB is warranted to cure Coucha, Cronp Hoarseness, Sore Throat, Spitting of Blood and Lung Diseases.
