F. D. Richardson and McMillan King, Esq., lately deceased. SATURDAY was a day among days. From morning until night Dame Nature shed what mi?ht have been rears of remorse for breaking In upon our pleasant weather. Tne streets were comparatively deserted, save by business men, and umbrellas constituted the chief ornament in vogue. LECTURE POSTPONED.-Owing to the bad -B?eather last evening but a small congregation assembled at Grace Church, and the lecture by the Hev Campbell Fair, or the Church or England, was postponed. It will probably be delivered at the sam- church next Sunday evening. The lec -ture has eitclted much interest. THE PHILADELPHIA STEAMSHIP LISE.-A -dispatch to the agent announces thc sailing of ?heiron steamship Virginia, from Philadelphia on -Saturday, with a large freight. The steamer Ev arman cleared from this port on Saturday, with a very heavy cargo for Philadelphia, believed to be the largest sent by steamer-since the renewal of steam communication with that city. A BRICK.-A gentleman has brought to the City a brick which he moulded and compressed from the clay loam found m great quantity on the banks or the Ashley. It appears to be as hard as flint, smells strongly of the peculiar flavor of phosphates or burnt bone, rings like a piece or metal when struck by a hammer, and when rubbed with an oil stone will grind lt away. Here li another new field or usefulness. Fo&BXQK EXPORTS.-The shipment of cotton to the great English market, Liverpool, displays actlv.'ty, and on Saturday last Messrs. J. A. En slow A Co., of onr city, cleared two Important cargoes for that market-the bark Adelaide Nor? ris, with 2197 ba*es upland cotton, weight 936,254 pounds, value $14c\825; 6 bags sea island cotton, weight 1915- pouii'hi, valne $2000; 140 tons phos? phate rock, value $1COO.

A large congregation assembled at Bethel to hear the eloquent pulpit orator, Dr. Whitefoord 3mlth, and Trinity was thronged by an audience anxious to hear Dr. Lovick Pierce, the father of Bishop Pierce'or Georgia. The ven ?rabie divine Is eighty-six years of age, but preached with a power and unction that does not often characterize his juniors. Four deacons were ordained at the close of th: services. Dr. Bond, of Baltimore, formerly ttieeditor or the Episcopal Methodist, preached In the Spring street Church. ?n the evening Dr. Polsal, or Baltimore, occupied the pulpit in Trinity. THE LATE FATHER DUGGAN.-The funeral of | 'chis venerable priest, whose sudden death has been announced, took place In Augusta on Satur? day. The Chronicle says: "A large number or the places of business on Broad street were closed In respect to the dead, and the appearance of tbe street indicated a very general participation In the ceremonies by our citizens. The procession .was about a mlle In length, and was one of the 'moat solemn ever witnessed in our city, exhibit? ing clearly the love which was felt for the vene? rable priest, wiio, after passing his days In the performance or good works, has at last rested from his labors."_ TUE CIRCUS_Stone <fc Murray's great circus will make its appearance In our city this morn? ing. This circus has won tire -highest plaudits from the press throughout the country, and its success, if we may judge from the reputation lt enjoys, hasbeen wonderful. The Brooklyn, N. Y., Unufc, alluding to their exhibition in that city, says: "The mostmagnlflcsnt circus performance ever given in Brooklyn. A greater variety of first-class performers are centred In .this circus than we ever saw before, and their wonderful ex? hibitions of skill and Intrepidity electrified the immense audience preseat last evening." Herr Schr,off, with his trained wild beasts, ls also con? nected with the circus, and will enter the den of -THE HOLIDAY TRADE.-Many people are get? ting m the way of making their purchases or holiday goods before the rush commences, both for convenience and in order to be able to satisfy taste and judgment in making selections ; and In order to accommodate this class of purchasers, some shrewd dealers m Christmas gifts now pre? pare their shelves and make their announcements somewhat in advance of the regular holiday sea? son. Advertisers of this class are already pre? senting attractive cards In our advertising col? umns, and others will doubtless follow their sen? sible example, In order to catch this early trade. We propose to give advertisements of this kind a conspicuous position, and to call due attention to them otherwise, and therefore dealers will find lt greatly to their advantage to be represented in this holiday directory. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER.-Wilson Young was brought before Commissioner Por teous, on Saturday morning, charged with vot? ing twice-once for himself, and once for another mon-at the late election. It was shown by the evidence that Wilson, after depositing his own vota^had requested permission ol the managers to deposit a vote for Handsome Sp rawley, a color? ed man, who was ill, and lived about three miles from the polls. This permission wa3 granted, and Wilson, thinking lt au right, innocently voted again. The managers for this poll, which ls" in Beaufort County, on the Savannah River, have all been arrested and bound over like Wilson to ap? pear for trial at the January term of the Untied States District Court. Several warrants have been Issued against other rioters at the Biggin Church poll, and one for illegal voting ac Hardeevllle. INQUESTS.-The Jury In the caae of Captain Pratt continued their Investigations on Saturday at 12 o'clock, pursuaut to adjournment. A num? ber of additional witnesses were examined, and the Jury brought In a verdict similar to the one In Mr. Wllllams's case : "That the deceased came to his death on the first of December, 1870, from inju? ries received Dom the severe scalding caused by the collapse of the flues of a boiler at the Etlwan Works, on the 29th November, 1870, and that said collapse occurred from some cause or causes to the jury unknown." Coroner Taft protested against the verdict upon the grounds that it was contrary to the evidence. The Jury in the case or Alfred Ford assembled pursuant to their adjournment, at the City HaU, on Saturday morning, at 9 o'clock, but owing to the absence or several important witnesses, ad? journed over until this afternoon at half-past 3 o'clock. ^ .MS" For later L?cala, see First Pave. ? THE CAUSE OF THE.POPE.J ACTION OF THE CATHOLICS OF CHARLESTON. A Protest Against the Seizure of the Eternal City. A large, sympathetic and intelligent audi I ence assemble;! last night at the Cathedral Chapel, for the purpose of considering a protest against the invasion and occupation of Rome by the Hal? lan Government. Looking over the congrega? tion, lt appeared that the representation or fami? lies and churches was both large and Influential, many of our leading citizens being present. The platform was fully occupied by members of the several vestries of the Roman Catholic Churches of Charleston, on the right of whom, as the pre? siding officer, sat Bishop Lynch. In front of the stand, under brilliant Illumination, was a hand? some life size portrait of his Holiness, Pope Pius IX. The meeting was called to order by Mr. M. W. St. Amand. The following officers of the same were then announced: VICE-PRESIDENTS. Rev. Messrs. Bermingham, Croghan, Moore, C. B. Northrop, H. P. Northrop, Folchl, S. Coren, 1>. J. Qulgley, Messrs. Beraard O'Neill, Thomas O'Brien, John F. O'Neill, John Dougherty, John M. McKeegan, Henry F. Baker, Thomas C. Ryan, John Devereux, Peter J. Karbar, Edward Lafitte, H. Z. La ur ey, M. W. St. Amand, B. Riols, Dr. J. P. Ohdzal, E. L. Henry, C. P.- Almar, G. Foll?n, C. E. Kanapaux, C. Polncignou, Jno. Commins, A. Barbot, Jno. Burke, J. Dohtage, Mlles Urake, D. Mcsweeney, Richard Hogan, C. R. Cassldey. Geo. Nunan, Dr. J. W. McDonald, J. Melvin, Mons. De Beltaigne, Senor Don F. De Mon? eada, Jas. Cosgrove, John Kenny. A. B. McDonald, A. McLoy, Thos. O'Brien, T. Kelley, P. Moran, James Mulvaney, Geo. A. Bowman, captain Jas. Armstrong, M. Gannon, Henry Daly. E. F. Swee gan. Captain F. W. Dawson, Wm. Matthlessen, Alex. St. Arnaud, Major .Dubos, P. Brady, Wm. Moran. SECRETARIES. Jno. B. O'Neill. Edward La?tte, D. O'Neill, Cap? tain Mulvaney, Edward Daly, D. A. J. Sullivan, Thos. Flynn, B. Salomon. Bishop Lynch then briefly stated the object of the meeting. He said that since the recent oc? currences in Italy, all Catholics with whom he had conversed had expressed a desire that steps should betaken to join In that expression of sympathy with th? head of the church, and that denunciation and condemnation of the wrong done by Victor Emanuel which hal been beard elsewhere. The Catholic Institute had appointed a committee to confer with him lu the matter, and lt had been determined to Invite the citizens of Charleston to meet on the present occasion. He was g'ad to see so mr-.ny present, and he believed that whatever- was said, would be uttered in a spirit of earnest conviction. The subject proper of the evening would come up in the protest and resolutions about to be read. Hon. M. P. O'Connor then advanced to the front and spoke as follows: Right Reverend Bishop and Fellow-cliizens and Catholics of CAarieston-Under theansplces of the < Invitation of the Right Reverend Bishop of Charles? ton, we have convened not for the purpose of dis- < cussing questions of'difference of religion; nor to . manifest any apprehensions or anxiety for the i supremacy and prosperity of God's Church, amid . the trials and difficulties which now beset His Holy I Vicar, but to express eur sorrow and indignation i at the blow which has been delivered against jus- i tice and international right, against law and pub- l lie morality, by a king but of yesterday, against i the most ancient establishment of Europe-a dy- i nasty that connects its origin with the humble i fishermen of Gallllee ; which ls coeval with ; the destruction of Paganism at Rome, and of the overthrow of barbarism in Europe, which carries the mind back to the "times when the smoke i of sacriflce arose from thc Pantheon, and came- 1 leopards and tigers bounded lu thc Flavian Am phltheatre." 1 A kingdom which ls not in this world alone, but which ts supported aud sanctioned bv the I Court or Heaven, has been sacrilegiously invaded i aud overturned by a neighboring power, the other < day set up by kings, the origin of whose title ls i within the memory of men now living. This act of spoliation and wrong has nor been i done ai thcblddtng or in the Interest of the toll- I lng millions, nor has lt been the result of a natu? ral and general uprising of the misses. It ls but i a momentary triumph of might over right-a sud- \ den chang; forcibly wrought, not to maintain or i extend the principles of rational liberty, nor to i put down a tyrant and oppressor, but an unpro- I voked, causeless war, waged by an armed prince ?. against an unarmed bishop and sovereign, AS I the voice of nations was heard aloud against the I ruthless dismemberment, of Poland, aud in sym- i pathy with Greece fettered and trampled hy i t Turk, so do we now lift our voice lu unisou i with two hundred millions of Catholics through- < )ut Christendom in denunciation of tills flagrant t ict of frand and violence. We can miler a while \ onger, while cherishing, as no delusive phantom i if hope, bnt os a sober truth, of which time will i rerlfy, the prediction that mere will be a Pope lu < he chair or Peter at the head of Rome when Vic- i tor Emanuel hos ceased to be thc King of Italy. ( Mr. O'Connor, in a distinct and handsome mau- J tier, then read the following ., PROTEST, j We, the Catholics of Charleston, have learned i wit h feeling of sorrow and indignation that the i Government of the Kingdom ot Italy, during the j month of September last, consummated the int- , qnltous course towards the Holy See which lt i entered on some years ago. Haring at various { dates seized, by fo ce of arms, portion after por- i tlon of the territory of the States of the Church, j lt was arrested for a time by the cry of indigna- i tlon from the Catholic world, a cry which thc < Government of France claimed the exclusive i honor ol upholding and making good by thc force t arms. The Kingdom of Hay. by the solemn obll- j g?tions ol a treaty with France, entered Into In ? September, 1864, bound Itself not to attack the remaining territory or the Holy See, and not to 'j connive at or lusUgate or allow an j attack, j This obligation was avowed by the King, Victor : Emanuel, by the Ministry, by the Italian Parlla- i ment and by thc Italian Ambassador at Paris. , As late as August last, lt was reiterated and con- ? Armed. Yet, lu September, lu open and flagrant , vlo'ation of this plighted faith, and of this ? solemn international obligation, an overwhelming , force of the Italian army was marched luto the Pontifical territory, took town after town, and, < Anally, assaulted.bombarded and captured the City ; of Rome; and the Italian Government, scarcely < deeding the ridiculous farce of a plebiscite. In ) which italian soldiers und strangers that came in \ with them voted as they pleased, while the re-, i spectable portion, in fact, over i wo-thlrds of the < citizens -of Rome abstained in disgust from I the polls, han proceeded to anmx to thc l Kingdom or Italy die City of Rome and ' the small remnant of his former territory, which, I since thc previous seizures, and until then, had i had remained to the Sovereign Punthi, lt has i pained oar hearts to know that tho venerable and i saintly Pius IX ls now virtually a prisoner lu the I Vatican; that Italian soldiers stand on guard be < fore the vestibule; that lu more than oue ins ance < those who entered or came out have been ques- < Honed and searched; that In the Quirinal Palace 1 the doors ol his private apartments have been i forced, the rooms ransacked, and his personal i property seized; that riotous crowds have been J gatnered on the square to Insult, by violence aud coarse clamors, lite gray hairs and his sacred char- < acter; that tee new officials In the postoffice have i tampered with, delayed, and, lt is believed, have ! suppressed letters reaching Kome, or to be sent t from the city; thar already the preliminary steps -I are being taken for the suppression and destruc- 1 tlon of religious, cnaritable and educational In- i stltutlons, and the confiscation by the Italian I Government, or thc robbery by Individuals, ot the | accumulated treasure* of art, and of the ecclcsl- i astlcal and charitable property In R une-a prop- i eriy In some measure belonging to the entire I Catholic world. For lt arose not from tl'ie fruits - or Roman industry or Roman comme: ce. lt I sprang from the dona1 lon-, which, for so many < centuries, pious Catholics throughout the world i have loved to give ror the splendor and decora- i tlon of churches, and the dignity of divine wor? ship, for munificent works of charity, and for ; highest educatiou In a city dear to ali, because lt was the See of St. Peter and his successors, the j ceutre ot Catholic uuity, and, in some measure, the common patrimony of all the faithful-tim more so, that to this car?cter and to the loving : care or the whole church, and to these alone. Rome owes her escape from the rate which befell < Alba Longa, Tusculum, and the neighboring cities of the Campa^na, which have so utterly perished that In some cases their very sites ure now mat? ters o? archxotoglcal controversy. Our reverence lor the venerable Pontiff, our sense of justice and right, the conviction that by tiie-e acts our religlou is assailed anil our rights are invaded, our rear or the results that may follow all lead us to unite with our brethren In the raith throughout the world, an-l with all lovers of Jus? tice and order, In publicly reprobating this in? iquitous deed. Especially lu these United states, where we can speak clearly and plainly, without any governmental Influence or iuterf-renee, it is fitting that the Catholic heart should speak out boldlv and with no uncertain sound. We protest, therefore, against this attack on thc States of the Church, and the seizure and oc? cupation or the city of Rome and the Ecclesiasti? cal territory, first, in the name of JOSTICB. The States of the Church constituted a separate and Independent government, by far the oldest and most venerable in Europe, lt had originally been established, not by conquest or vloleuce, but. un? der Divine Providence, by the act or the people themselves, who sought freedom and peace, hud escape from the evils that harassed and thed.au gers that menaced them, where alone lt seemed freedom and peace could be fourni. Neglected, left without suinc enc protection, at times practl cally abandoned by the Emperors or constanti? nople, they were Incessantly preyed on by Goth9, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Huns, Vandals, Lombards and other barbarians. Thev saw the cruel Attila, "the scourge or . God,'' turn back before the admonitions of a Roman Pont in"; there was some mitigation to the threatened cruelties or Genserlc and Tocua, through the same paternal and ^owerftilirifl They Found that the Lombards, diairustln -Trites o? Imperial diplomacy; woalo not list the words or rely on the promises of envoys Constantinople, and refused to make treaties with the Bishops of Rome, whom they ho and trusted. Hence, step by step, and course of events lasting through severn age civil government or tue states of the Chord gradually establish'd, the civil power and pi tlon of the Roman Pontiff belog ever spou ousiy aud earnestly invited, sought and halli the surest guarantee of peace and safety, in troublous times. To this most legitimate natural origin, this government added the ui title of eleven centuries of existence. Iti bc aries in A. Ii. "60 were almost identical those or A. D. 1860. It sought not conquests its neighbors. Its internal government was and paterna!. Not to go back beyond tin two hundred years or its existence, the charge that could be made against lt, witt show or reason, was that it leaned too mu the side or mercy, and might, with advan have used more sternness In the punishme criminal--. Especially under the long pontifli or Gregory XVI and Plus IX, industry wai couraged, education, both high aud elemeui was rostered, Justice was accessible to the j est. charitable provisions were ample ror the gent and the sick, private property was set and the taxation was thc lightest In Eui The population under this government quiet, orderly and happy. They wished no change. " There was no trouble, such as might be stirred up by emissi rrora abroad. The rerusal or the poi tlon or the cl les and towns and or the cou to untie with Garibaldi, in his campaign aga Rome tn 1S67, and the obstinate and rait bravery with which the native soldiery or the man States rought against him and contrlbi their ruli share to lils utter defeat, drew from and from his assocta'tes ample acknowledgmi or this fact, In the shape or bitter and venom reproaches. The same spirit has been shown year. Not one Roman soldier deserted hts i NOD one olllclal betrayed his post, or went ri voluntarily to welcome the invader, whose c lng, on the contrary, brought fear and sor and dismay every where. That a government so legitimately establlsl so legitimately existing, so carefully fulfilling duties at home, and so scrupulously avoiding ? Just cause or orfeuce to its neighbors, shb without any cause given, or even alleged tc given, without any declaration of war, an? direct violation ora treaty solemnly made, be vaded and seized, and ita territory annexed t neighboring power, only because that po wishes to do so, and ls strong enough to do li an act or barbarism and an outrage on Inter tional law, aeainst which we protest In the na or justice, rf oue nation can thus utterly di gard a treaty, the moment the other c tracting power ls uuable to enforce- it* ob; vance-ir lt can overpower and take possessio! the territory or another whenever it has the p slcal power aud the desire, can there be Just! Crust, friendship or mutual obligations of treal or or International law between natioi ir might so completely makes right, as authorize a government- to seize at will territory of a weaker power, - on what ground c we condemn the Individual, who applies the sa broad principle tonis own ease;, and because is strong enough or artful enough to" dery 01 escape the courts of his country, dares to foil the example set before him lu high places, a appropriates to himself 'he goods or his nelghb Ur, ir a nation may plead the "fait accompli" a justification or a misdeed, why should nott criminal brought before the court be allowed plead lt also, to avoid punishment? Therefore, the name or JCSTICB, wmch should guide bc men and nations, wc protest against and < nounce the Iniquitous act or the Italian tiovei ment. We protest against lt, in the name or CHRISTI CIVILIZATION. It wa* tills government ol Ron which more than any other, and more than other agencies together, preserved and hand dowu to modern times thc light of ancient cLasi civilization-which during ene middle ages bi tied unceasingly with heathenism, baroarisi Ignorance and violence-which brought sod order ont ol savage chaos, and taught the nat lo jr Europe to respect truth and law, more th: brute force and rapacity-which hailed the dav jf modern literature, and has ever since careful cherished Its growth, aud sought to develop it avery branch, aud which has ever held the fii place as the fostering patron ol arts aud selene AS a government, lt ?vus the only one In Euro, which held and openly avowed that the laws Ro i aud or right were sacred principle-1, never bi violated, for the sake or political expedlenc It mude no wars or ambition or conquest. ? tiome, lc sought to cherish peace and prosper!t Abroad, lt sought by. example and exhortation reconcile enmities and to promote peace and Ju lice between nations and mea. When such a go t-rnmeni ls wantonly and unjustly overthrow ind overthrown under the circumstances wine o;ark this act, we protest against toe outrai committed, asan injury to the cause or civiltz tlon. Wc protest against lt as CHRISTIANS. The re power which has brought about this act ls the r roiutionary "Party or Action," as they somet?an style themselves; the followers and successors, c rather the continuation of thu party which, du ag the re'gn of terror or the French Revoluiioi >ought to dethrone the Almighty, to extirpai Jhrlstlanliy, and to crush ont religion, and whlcl astead, placed oa the desecrated altar of a clun e i woman or vice, and honored her and hailed he is the Goddess or Reason. The present avowe iud acknowledged leaders ur that party lu Ital ipenly proclaim the '?ame lnten>e hatred or Chris lauity. and they stigmatize a belier lu Divine R< ?elution and the sweet yoke o' religion as un in lubus or superstition, oppressing and degradlni nank'.ud; and they proclaim their purpose o lestroyiug il by whatever means they can. The. wow that for forty years, .?.idelly uuder thc leui ..r Mazzini, they have worked through secret ac ..letles . banded together, and : by every artfu means to reach succ?s*, and they exultingly boa* hat now success ls near at hand. Victo Emanuel, m thc letter which he wrote to his Uoli ness immediately tiefore marching his troops lut< ;he Pontifical territory, plainly intimated that h ivas urged un by fear or what this party might do f he abstained. Thc act which he consented ti lo, and against which wc prutesi, was luteudei jy ita prime movers as a direct blow agalast rh .ause ot Christianity; they look un lt, aud havi jlanned it, as' one step towards their ultiman purpose of eradicating from the minds or meu al Heilerin Divine Revelation, and intoning them in stead with the principles of unbelief ano lntldehtj irtikb. by an abuse of words, they boasting!}* tern Hie foundation of true liberty. As Catholics, and n t!-e name of Christianity, we earnestly protesi iginns: lt. We protest, against lt with equal earnen less, as opposed io the FREEDOM OF RELIO ION. It would place the Sover. lgu Pom ?tr, the heud or the Catholic Church, tindet :he rower of a civil government, which would .lalm the right or taking cognizance or his ac;s md words, and would have at baud the means ot mfofolng that claim, whenever it saw Ut. and by luch pains and penalties as lt Judged proper tu ise. History shows, only too clearly, ihat civil gov ?rniueuts are very seid Jin deterred by scrunles rom attempting to control and to use for their iwn purposes obsequious ministers or rellg on. .The}'*:-will restrain themVor punish them as iroitors, IL on the contrary, their ecclesiastical ac? ion does uot conform to the policy or the man? iates of their rulers for the time being. Ctcsar s not content with the thirgs that are Casar's; ie would grasp also the things that aie God's, riras it was tlmt under the heathen Emperors or Koine, dui lng the Hrs' three ceutur'es or Chris* iianlty, of thirty-three Popes twenty-nine suffered martyrdom. Thc Emocrors cared little for the rnere doc mies and practices or our Holy Relhr .01:, as they cared litt e for the countless religious af tho nations which Home had subjugated, every ma of which had Its temple or its lane in that :lty. But they would not brook the presence ot a PoutirT having authority over tim minds and con science- <?f millions, who held aud taught that there was a Divine law or trutu and duty not sub ect to the Emperor'^ will. The same principle still exists in m? dern gov? ernments. The Czar of Rus-la proclaimed him jeir the head or the Russian Greek Church, and lends au officer or his army to preside lu his name it the nneiingsor the Holy Synod, where his will ls law. And ms tv mun.eui enactments for the last three years towards the Greek Rutheulan Catholics unfortunately in his dominions, prove low completely he looks on religio i as but one phase* of Stale policy. The Greek Patriarch tor Jouathntlnople has fallen tmbe a mere puppet or 'bc Turkish Court, its permission must besought, jr, rather, purchased, tb aect.*a partft-ular indi? vidual to thc otllcc or Patriarch. iVheu elected, lie holds the ofllce at its good pleasure, and ls eject cu ror any frivolous reason-often for no allier reason than tba' some other oue desires the dignity, and ls prepared with a BUUclent bribe. It was natural that, when Greece had ?rnlne.i her independence, the Greek Christiana ol that Kingdom should throw off all spiritual sub? jection to the Patriarch, und establish au inde? pendent Holy Synod. Even lu Catholic countries the same spirit has shown itself. Josephism in Austria, Fcnronlau ism in Germany und Northern Italy, and Galil canism in Fr.iuoe. all oiigi.iated in the efforts of trie civil governments lo subject lite church to their polliical policy. Nay. in our owu couutry, where religion and politics arc studiously kept apart, have we not known parties 11 seek the seeming support or religion, and to Hud mraug allies lu ministers who are prevailed ou to preach polliles? It would be stultifying ourselves to dream that a civil government., having the Sovereign Pontiff lu its power, would refrain irom using all means or cajolery ami rraud. c" from surrounding hun with raise friends and bribed advisers, ir so he might bc mi-guided. Wise aud faithful counsel? lors who might stand tn thc way, would, ir neces? sary, be removed rrom lils side; promises, men? aces, and every available means would be used to bend him, ir possible, to political views and interests, aud to render him as weak aud sub? servient as other prelates here and there have sometimes been unfortunately round to be. We know that, although others may rail, thc successor of sc Peter is preserved from ralllnir.. Tne Saviour said: "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and thc gates of hell shall not prevail against it." And again: "Satan hath desired you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for thee that thy raith rail not; and thou bWng once converted, coufirm thy brethren." No matter what trials may-come, the successor or St. Peter will be stregtheued to stand firm and true to the duties and responsibilities of bis high ornee. And whether he be, as now,- a prisoner in his palace, surrounded by hostile bayonets, or, like St. Peter, lie Immured in a dun? geon, or, like many of his predecessors, wauder in exile, rar rrom his See, the Catholic world will ever revere him as the Vicar or Christ and the vlsi-. ble head, on earth of His divinely established ic* ure o; anacvliirer?re bim tile more, as.b sufferings he Is seen to walk more closely "footsteps of Him who bore H:s"cros3 to th mit of t'alvary. But chough trials and persecution may i they are trials, and are painful; and lt ls on to seek* and to'pray for peace and tranq We claim for tbe Sovereign Pontltr exei from these suares and trials to which the at of the Italian Government would lnevitabl ject him In h s official capacity, having Int and conscientious relations with the childi the Catholic Church.scattered throughoi world, he nesds the fullest freedom rrom embarrassments, and we claim It for him. We claim lt also as needful for our own i ous liberty and peace. We are Catholics have the right to be sucia We have the ri? approach tue common rather of the falthrul to communicate with him freely Md to cc him in our religious affairs. This Is a sacred 1 bound up with the very essence of our rellg one that we cannot dream of surrenderini has been freely admitted and freely exer ever since those early times when perseci ceased. The very first Christian Emperor, stantlne the Great, withdrew from Rome to zautlnm, and Rome has never since been the dence or an Emperor or King who could < precedence over the Pontiff, and the auth or power to supervise and control Head or the Church. Arter enjoying this r ror more than tineen centuries .the Catholic w ls not prepared, In this nineteenth centur see Victor Emmanuel or any other civil pi qnietly glide In to infringe lc or to take ic a' We claim the right still to approach the father freely, and not to be stoppr ? at his v bule by the soldiers or this lntrudlL" power, allowed to enter only on condition that our sous and our business, are not unsatlsfactor them. Our thoughts go further, and we discern other difficulties. It 19 not impossible that many months all Europe may he plunged in general war. The nations may begatherei gether In two opposing ho9ts. Italy may jota side or the other. Buring that war how could Catholics in those nations, to which Italy wi stand opposed, be abie to communicate wich Ponclff under che rule or the King of Ita y? Wi noe an eflort to do so bc looked on at home a effort to communicate with an alleu enemy I oue came tn person would he not make him liable to the penalties or martial law as a sp as an enemy, if seized In Rome or within Italian domlulons? A similar difficulty wo arise whenever Italy, Jastly or unjustly, wo engage In war with any nation of Europe.

It must be free a lias been hitherto. lu the name of freedom of religion-that Sovereign Pontiff, in the exercise or his rellgl authority, may not be trammelled or-hindered the arts and wiles or politicians, and that In Intercourse with him we may be rree from tt suspicions and their annoyances, and not be I dered by their political interests or designs earnestly protes' against this unwarranted in sion of a sacred, ancient and most import right. Finally, we protest against ic in the na of the civilized world, against whose peace I national freedom it would be a standing mena The statesman, whecher he believe in Divine R elation or be an -Infidel, whether a Catholic o Protestant, must recognize the fact that the Cu ol lc Church does exist, and will conilnne to exl In the civilized world. Many efforts have bc made in times past to crush and destroy h They have all railed. She has survived them, a ls as strong to-day, ir not stronger, than in a post age. and she numbers in her fold over t hundred millions or Catholics, or this church I Bishop or Rome ls the head and chief past Every word he speaks ls reverently heard, a sinks into the hearts and minds of these millie of tue fal tn fu'. He thus wields a moral pow without example, lu the world, and rar exceedi any physical power or civil governmen ic was with a deep sense und a char, terlstlc military appreciation ot the grande of tills power, that the great Napole Instructed the ambassador whom he was sendli to Pius VII, then in the weakest days of I temporal power, to treat his Holiness " as ir bat two hundred thousand soldiers." Napole ranked the Pontiff as equal to the strong? powers of Europe. To-day, In the altered con Hon ot things, he would say, '-five hundr thousand soldiers." This immense moral pow of the Pope the statesman may admire or mi dislike, but he must admit Its existence, ai muse give lc its place and Its due value, win making his political calculations. Now the Puni ltr\musc be either a sovereign, heretofore, ruling (he States of the Church, or subject, as Victor Emmanuel would make hh If a subject, then he owes a subject's duty, at glance. Tue better and truer Christian he is, t more earnestly and faithfully will he fulfil th duty. By lt, he would be bonnd to promote tl welfare, and to forward the Interests of his ow nation, to carry out the policy and to obey tl commands of the government he ls under, i rar as the laws or God are not violated. Just : a good clergyman is bound to use all his lufluen over his flock, to promote gooJ order and il faithful observance of law, so the Pontiff wou bc bound, as far os he could and until estopped l the law or God, to use all his Influence In iavor his country ami government, in every legitima wav. ut home and abroad. Would any govermcnt In the civilized wor reel sore in allowing another governincut, to po sess and hold uniter Its exclusive control so va a power? Would Prussia, or Austria, or Fran, meekly allow Victor Emmanuel to wield a powi not restricted In Its lntliience io his owu domii lous, but reit also in theirs, with a force greuti than that or a vast army. Ic ts a question whic goes out beyond the sphere of reltglon, and whlci as thc world pres. and political asplra'lons woul assuredly ever strive to shape lt, must enter lm the domain of national interests and national ii depeudcuce. Noe even Protestant England co il conseut to lt. She would act again, as she did 1 1SU. when she sent a military guard of honor t conduct the Sovereign Pontiff lu triumph back t Itoiiie.md when in thc Congress of Vienna, her eu bassadors Insisted most earnestly that, in the rt construction or Europe, ic was absolutely ncce< saiy iliac the States of the Church snould bc rc placed in their previous condition uudcr ihesovt rclgntyor the Uo'y Father. Doubtless, many a government would rejoice t< possess aid io be served and supported by a faull ful subject or such itnincuse power. But no oche civilized na.ion would or could safely allow lt Thc position would inevitably give rise to suspi dons, jeal ii sies, Jarring Intereses and ever re curring wars-the more bluer, because rellgioi wouid ever be more or less mixed up with chi questions and interests Involved. Even berore men became conscious or thedlffl cuttles and dangers, provision had been made tc avoid them. Under thc dispensation or Divlm Providence, which watches over and protects thi church and gu iles the hearts or men; wh.lo the shattered fragments of the mighty Roman Em pire were crystalizlug into the nations or mediae val and modern Europe, with their rival and Jar ring Interests and purposes, the Bishop or Rome found himself the sovereign of a small portion ol Italy. Just large enough to exist by Itself and in dependently, ami iou small to be a cause or feat or or jealousy to other nations. By this arrange? ment-the natural growth or events, rather the deed or man's distinct purpose-thc world-wide problem received Its only pos-tibie solution. Thu Pout iff can stand aloor rrom tuc political ques? tions ol nations, and be in nowise mixed up wu ii their ever-recurring wars. Eveu amid the din ol arms, while wars rage for years, he can freely comm nlcatc tn matters or religion with lils chil? dren on either side ol thc contest, and they with him, without violating the iaws, or betraying the Interests ot th' lr own cuuntry. So long us the world ls divided Into various nationalities and kingdoms-rivals In peace and In war-, so long as thc Catholic Church exists, and the Bishop of Rome ls her head, her chief bishop, aud the centre or her ecclesiastical unity and au? thority, so long wilt lt be necessary, and for the common good ur all, that Rome and the States or i bc Church stand apart as a neutral ter? ritory, where no other civil sovereign than the .Sovereign Pontiff shall reign. The peace or the world, no less than the Interests of religion and thc welfare or consciences claiming rreeuum in the exercise or religion, imperatively demand lt. In this matter, we will speak in the well con? sidered words of our brethren of Baltimore: '.The principle which iles at the basis or this time honored, world wide Jurisprudence, ls precisely that which was subsequently udopted by tue round? ers or our own great republic, who wisely ordained that a small independent district should be mark? ed oui and set apare rrom the territory or the States, exempt rrom all State influence and con? trol, as the seat or thc General Government, and admiuisiered for thu benetit of ali. "The District or Columbia is neutral, and, in some sense, sacred soll, b longing to no particu? lar State, but the common property or all the States. This provision was wisely made, In order to rend-r thc a-.'tlou or the General Government free and unuamiiicllc I by particular State influ? ence, which would necessarily have the tendency to hamper Its acci?n, und to beget mistrust as to Its freedom. "As between the District of Columbia In its re? lation lo Hie Culled States ami thu Papal terri? tory in its relation to the United States nf Chris? tendom, the principle is the same, au ) the paral? lelism ls complete. And If the States of Maryland und Virginia, or any other state or States, availing themselves of a crisis favorable to their purpose, should Invade and hold forcible possession of the District or Columbia, in violation or our Bellied jurispru? dence, aud Tor their own selfish purpose, the In? dignation which would burst ron h throughout the laad would be au echo of thai which now breaks forth throughout au Christendom un ac couut or the sacrilegious invasion or the Papal States. ..Aud our confidence In the good sound sense and even-handed justice or our fcllow-cltlzeus of ail classes and denomina!lons, ls such us to in? spire us with the fullest certainty thac all fair and impartial men will be drawn to sympathize willi us In the calamity which has temporarily befallen our church in its visible head. In tne nature or things, the ca amity can be but transl corv.just us in the hypothetical luvusion or the District of Columbia. Tne United States of Chris? tendom will redress this grievance as promptly and as indignantly as would the United States of America redress the other in the parallel case." This ls not the first lime the temporal sovereign? ty of the Pope has been assailed. Twenty years ago Plus IX was an exile In Gaeta, while Mazzini and Garibaldi boasted that they had crushed oue the Papacy, and had established au enduring Re? public in Rome. The Romans prayed ror deliver? ance fr?re their tyrannical rule of terror, vio? lence, robbery and assassination, and deliver? ance came to gladden them."?Forty years before, Mats Plo* TU: waa the prtaoner of Napo Jeon ,J.liL?raacc..?Dd..i,tie_5tai?3_or .tneChiirca. had been mllluirily seized by him and annexed to ?the great French Empire, Ten years beforethat, Plus VI was dying a prisoner in Valence, and tn Rome the Tlberine Republic was dragging out a feeble and sickly existence, under the wing and subservient to the will, of theuFrenCh Republic. I These attempts, each at the time more formidable' I in appearance than the present one, came to naught; as similar attempts, made a score of times in preceding ages, bj ambition or turbu? lence, however apparency trlumpaant lu the out? set, never failed at lost to bring grief and disaster to those that attempted the sacrilege. This pre-ent attempt mnst and wlU ultimately fal!, as all preceding ones have utterly failed. We note the fact, wbh satisfaction, that np nation has as yet sanctloued or even recog? nized it. No government has as yet with? drawn its ambassador or minister from Rome, as if the Pontiff had, de jure, lust his tempo? ral power. It may indeed be. that during the convulsions Into which Europe appears to be sink? ing, even this may yet be done. But lt can onlr be for a time. Oed, In Dis wise providence, may 5527 the' cn'ldren of the church and even the chief pastor to be sorely tried for a season. He will not deliver over Bis holy religion and His church to be the footstool or the plaything of the kings of earth, or converted Into a weapon of crafty and unscrupulous politicians. And while we earnestly pray to Him, as is Utting, to sustain and protect His Church, aud to restore to the Sovereign Pontiff his ancient and inaliena? ble rights, and while we have tho fallest confi? dence that tn His own good time He will vouch? safe to do so. we also deem it proper now to unite with the two hundred millions of our fellow-Cath? olics throughout the world, and to raise our -voices as men and as Catholics, in union with theirs, to condemn the action of the Italian Gov? ernment against the venerable and saintly Pon? tiff, and in him against our church and ourselves. We protest, against lt as a flagraut violation of the sacred and fundamental principles or Justice and international law; as a dishonor to clvllizatlcn; as practically Intended to be an assault" on Divine Revelation; as a violence done to the freedom of the religion of more than two hundred millions or Catholics, os well by throwing trammels around the legitimate and free action or the head or our church as likewise by giving rise to dlttlcultles and embarrassments which may at any time im? pede or restrict our action iu communicating with him, and may not unrrequently absolutely arrest lt; and finally, as a perpetual and serious dan ger to Ute peace and tranquillity or'all Chris? tendom. RESOLUTIONS. * Tlie following rpsolutlons were then read by Mr O'Connor, who also moved their adoption. We, therer >re. thc Catholics or the several con? gregations or the Cltv or Charleston, in general meeting assembled, have Resolved, That the Invasion or the Papal terri? tory, and the overthrow or the government of his Holiness, and the usurpation of his civil sove? reignty by Victor Emanuel, were and are against right and Justice, against the raith or treaties, a manifold violation or the rights or religion and re? ligious liberty, and aa outrage against the civil, ized world. Resolved, That the circumstances or the case, and the magnitude or the Interests, both religious and political involved tn lt, and endangered by lt, would justify the intervention of all Christian nations In ravor or the restoration of his Holiness to hts sovereign rights. The Rev. Dr. Croghan seconded the motion and made a brief and eloquent speech, after which, the Bishop put the question, the au Hence stand? ing, and the resolutions were unanimously adopted.' Mr. O'Connor then offered the following resolu? tion, which was seconded by Mr. M. W. St. Am and, and adopted without dissent: Resolved, The protest and resolutions having been ?ecelved as thc sense or the Catholics or this community, that on behalf or those-assem? bled, the Right Rev. Bishop, thesecretarles of this meeting, and the pastors of the several congre ?lati?os of the city, together with one member rom each congregation, tobe appoioted by the respective pastors, be authorized and directed to sign the protest; that thc Bishop be requested to communicate tries mic to thc pastors or ecclesias? tical superiors of parishes outside of Charleston.for the purpose or obtaining their adhesion to the pro? test, and that thc whole proceedings be transmit ted, under the signet of tho Bishop,as a testimonial of our affection, sympathy and devotion to the Holy Father at Rome. The Bishop made a few remark!), thanking the audience for rhelr attendance, and thc meeting then adjourned. THE SABBATH SCUOOL UNION.-Tue Rev. I. S. K. Legare and the Rev. T. SJ. Legare, presented some Interesting facts on the subject of Sabbath schools to the managers of the South Carolina Sabbath School Onion, at a meeting called by thc president on Friday evening last, at the hall of the Young Men's Christian Association. These gentlemen are natives or our city, and arter preaching thc Go-pel for many years in the lnterl r or the State, they succeeded in organiz? ing the "Orangeburg Female College." which was lu a very nourishing condition up to Hie breaking out or the war, but which finally succumbed, in common with many other similar Institutions, to' the pressure of that period? The ilrst mentioned or these brothers has been successfully engaged In Virginia for nearly two years, organizing aud aiding Union Sabbath Schools, embracing all de? nominations, under a commission from the Ameri? can Sabbath School Uuion. with Hinds fornlshed by the liberality ol Cyrus H. McCormick, Esq., a native Virginian. The Rev. T. H. Legate proposes to engage, under a similar commission, lu thc same important work lu the State or South Caro? lina. They will remain in Charleston, we learn, a week louger, and will meet with the board or managers ot the South Carolina Sabbath School Union at their adjourned meeting on next Monday evening, at the same hour and place where they met last. It ls hoped that thc managers will all make an effort to attend. BUSINESS NOTICES.
