A Dr. Cross, of Canada, is in Char lotte for the purpose of buying a large tract of land to settle a colony of Ca dadians. Cotton in the Raleigh section is looking remarkably -well. The chop ping out season mil be in full blast next week. The Winston Sentinel says : During a fight last week John Beard, aged fif teen, was stabbed severely by John Hester, aged about the same. Hon. J. M, Iieach publishes a letter declining to be again a candidate for Congress. We shall hereafter publish extracts from his very fine letter. The Goldsboro Messenger says : We learn that the residence of Mr. Win. A. Hardy, of Greene county, was de stroyed by fire on Sunday last while the family were gone to LaGrango to the Conference. Supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Marc Erwin, Assistant U. S. District Attorney, of Ashevillo, and Gen. E. 11. Hampton, Clerk of the Federal Court at that place, have resigned, unwilling to obey the orders of Judges Dick and Settle and the "Greensboro King," to vote for Plato Durham for Congress. It is said that Gen. Hampton will run for Ccngress as an Independent Re publican. The Newberuian says : We notice that large shipments of sea-turtles, through the Pioneer Transportation Company, are being made to Norfolk by our Beaufort dealers, and that the Norfolk steamers, upon leaving this port, are well freighted with this ma rine delicacy for the Northern market. The largest of the number shipped yesterday weighed 144 pounds. The Goldsboro Messenger says: A Convention of the Conservative citi zens of Wayne county is called to meet in Goldsboro on Monday, June 15th, for the purpose of organizing for the campaign in accordance with the plan of organization recommended by the State Execntive Committee. Also to appoint delegates to the Senatorial District Convention, and to set a day for the county nominating Convention. The Raleigh Sentinel says : In the White Church" Cemetery, the oldest burial ground at Liincolnton, are two very old graves. The stones, made of common granite, though much worn by time, still bear the following legible inscriptions : "In memory of Mary Summerow; died October 24, 1722. Aged 72 years.' "In memory of Henry Snmmerow ; died December 1st, 1722. Aged 7G years."

He furthermore reports the fact that the prayer meetings have been suspended and the mouutaint-ors have returned to their eonfiekis aud pea patches. It is to be hoped that "Old Baldy" will keep quiet long enough at least to allow the peoplo to "lay by" their crop. The Raleigh News says: We were shown yesterday, by Col. Geo. Little, a nugget of gold weighing 24 grains, mat was iouna on tne iarm oi a gen tleman living in one of the border counties of the South Carolina line. The gold is about the same in quality as other North Carolina gold, anil from the written statement of the gen tleman, is plentiful in the section from which this specimen came. For rea sons best known to himself he did not state the county where these new mines have been discovered, but if his present operations and experiments prove successful the location, etc., will soon be made public. The Charlotte Observer says : We learu from a gentleman who is just from Morganton, that, at the Conven tion of the Conservative party of the 8th Congressional District, held in Asheville on Saturday last, to nominate a candidates for Congress, Hon.

Ilynian and the greatest unanimity and euthnsiasm prevailed. Mr. Patton, of Asheville, put Gen. Vance in nomination, and he was at once re nominated by acclama tion amid great applause. Cheering news concerning the prospects of the party come to us from the West. The Raleigh News says: A promi nent railroad official on yesterday ap plied at the Treasury department with $810,000 in certain railroad bondt, wherewith to settle a law suit, now pending between the State of North Carolina and said road, the official stating, "I now offer you the principal and interest of the debt, and if you refuse to receive it I notify you I 'J I pay no more interest. " The'Treasnre r being absent, the railroader was met by the elegantly attired teller, who re plied from beneath the walls of Lis muk-white beaver, in the language of X oodles, "It a against my interest to take eo much principal." whereupon the railroader replied, "And it's against my principle to pay so much interest." The matter is' yet un settled. The Washington (N.

Aloah Metlock, living on Duck Creek, in Caldwell county, was out in a new ground with his wife, having left three children at their house, aged respectively 3 and 2 years old, and the youngest an infant only two weeks old. The attention of the parents 'was attracted by hearing the screams of children. When they reached the house their boy (two years old) was standing in the door with the flames crackling over his head, a solid mass of fire. He was snatched from the flames but alas ! too late. His in juries were such that he dropped dead jn a few minutes. The poor little helpless infant was burned to a crisp. The oldest child escaped. She says the fire was occasioned by the second -child taking a torch from the fire to burn the cat and thus set fire to the fced. Indignation Meetingr. The congregation of St. Thomas' Catholic Church, held an indignation meeting on Friday evening, May 29th, to protest against the offensive charge upon auricular confession delivered by the Right Reverend Bishop of the Diocese of North Caro lina, in the Protestant7Episcopal Con vention held in Wilmington, on the morning of May 23d, 1874. The meeting was called to order, af ter w hich, the offensive charge, above referred to, was read. Comments were made and resolu tions drawn up, condemning the said charge as a reflection upon the charac ter of the Catholics of this city, State, and world at large.in the practice of their religion.and fitting to be denounced; as two thousand copies of the same offen sive charge have been ordered to be distributed throughout the State. The Tastor, the Reverend Father Gross, was called upon to address the congregation, on the subject of the "Sacrament of Penance". He spoke in substance us follows : My dear and justly unity nant Peo ple ': Let me bay to you ; sooner might one attempt to defile the very rays of the Sun with filth, as to attempt to' defile by aspersion the divine light of Catholic Faith shed on earth. Hav ing arrived only within this week from Raleigh and read the subject of your and my own just indignation, and whilst I feel myself unprepared to do justice in argument to this great Sac rament of Penance ; yet I must give you and others an account of the "Faith that is within us;" knowing full well that even one pebble of Catholic Truth is powerful enough to over throw any adversary, though he were clothed in the armor of a Goliath. Many per on3 cannot understand why Catholics go to Confession for the re mission of sins, because they do not apprehend the true form of Govern ment of the Catholic Church. Catho lics claim their Church to be the only Church founded by Jesus Christ for ever ; and that this Church was estab lished by Him upon certain fixed prin ciples of government : a government with a head, with power, with divine lnws, with a divine Commission to teach the same to the end of the world. If the Catholic Church be thus considered as a visible spiritual kihgJorn, it will not appear strarige that she should claim the power of for- sriviEcr spiritual onenses or sins. j Christ, Our Lord, first made to the I Apostle?, the promise of establishing i ttiis His Kingdom upon earth and of j giving it to them and their legitimate j successors, "Fear not little flock, it hath pleased your Heavenly Father to give you n Kingdom" a visible, spiritual Kingdom upon earth. He i further promist to appoint one among j them as t President or visible head, j and so lie says to Simon Peter: "Thou 1 avt a rock, and on this rock I will i build my Church," and "I will give to I thee the Keys of the Kingdom of God." ; Thee promises of Chrisf, of establish ! ing Hi Church ns an indastnw-tible, j visihle Kingdom, were a continuation of the Jewish prophecies concerning : Christ and nis Kingdom on earth, j Alter His resurrection, our Savior : makes gxI those promises He es- tablishes His Church, His Kingdom. ! He organises it. He appoints the visible head in His absence. To the ! same Simon Peter Tie now gives the ; supremacy -f t he Apastolate, and three j times does the Lord commission Peter j to feed Eiis sheep and His lambs, that ; is. be the chier Pastor of His visible ' Church: "Peter, lovetr thou me more ! than these, " feed my sl;eep. feed iv Iambs. Thus Simon PeU-r was to-be the visible rock of the In- visible Look, Cnnst; the visible chief i'.ivtor representing the invisible sht-jihtrd of souls, Christ; the visible Master in the plac,f of the invisible Lord, Christ, appointed tp hold the Kers of His Kingdom, to provern His Church and "to confirm the faith of Hi3 t,retj.rea Christ imparls to His Kingdom power, as no government whatever can exif-t without power. " AH the power which I have before mv Father I give you." " Go forth, teach all nations ;" "baptize" for the remission of sins ; acts 1.38. They were also to forgive sins comit ted after Laptisni. ; For even as Son of Man. Jesus" Christ had received this power of forgiving sis. For at the curing of the Paralytic, when the im pious Pharisees had thoughts of blas phemy and said within themselves : " vho can forgive sins but God only." Tesus answered : " that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (Ho SAith to the man sick of the palsy) I say to thee, Rise, take up thy bed ;" and he went away. " glorifying God." Luke V, 21, 2:3, 24. Now, on the very day of his resurrection, He said to the Apos tles : " As my Father hath sent me, I also send jo:!." John XX., 21. Con sequently with the same powers that I as man am sent by my Irather, I also send you as my substitutes, as pastots of my Church. And thai there might be no doubt that in these words. He included the power of forgiving sins, aye, to show them that this power was particularly included in them, He im mediately " breathed upon them aDd said, Receive ye the Holy Ghost; whose sins ye shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and whose siu ye shall retain, tliey are retained. John IX, 22. Thus the Apostles were appointed to cont inue the work He had inaugurated, of teaching all truth and of forgiving si as. '' And I am with you all days to the iwisumiaatijon of the world." Thus were the Apostles to lire to the end of the world, iu their legitiiuata succes sors, transmitting their orders and mission, and powers to them : as for examplu m our lkepublie, Washington j nun i" co-magistrates lire m then sueceasiirs and in tie transmission of their powers. It in thus certBin from Scripture, that the power of for giving fiius was given to the church, and if given, was granted to be exer cised as long a th church was to re- j mam on earth, to the end of time. . . . " This power of fora-jvine- or retaining - . - -Jm O S1HP' . awarding f o the disposition of t-"' mia uioueiegnmu power of God to the ministers of His church, wno ore merely iiis servants in its exercise. The power of forgiving sins ty tne ministers of Christ s Churtb, necessarily supposes the knowledge of the existence of grievous sins in the individual to be pardoned: and this knowledge is obtained by his confes sion, whether made in secret or pub licly. The confession of sins is of Divine cominandiiieiit, both in the old and new law. In the Xew Testa ment we read, "If we confess cur sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins." This Divine commandmt jat oi comession oi sins answers well to the Divine gift of forgiving or retain ing sins, imparted to the Apostles. They were not to forgive or retain at random. Hence the Divine precept of confession. Hence confession of sins was not to be made in secrat to Ond only, but to the Apostles and to their successors, to whom Christ left such power. Confession then, to the minis ters of God's Church, is Scriptural. Thus we read "that many of them that believed came, confessing their sins and declaring their deeds." That is many of those who had previously embraced the Faith, who had been baptized and had sinned, came, con fessing their deeds to the Apostles, as holding the power of God to forgive them. (See Acts xix. 18. Dr. Kenrick.) But whether this confession of sins was made in public or private, it has always been considered as of necessary obligation in order to obtain forgiveness by the absolution of the priest of God. Thus St Paul says: "Qod hath given to ns the ministry of recorjcil&tion and He hath placed i in us the word of reconciliation. We are therefore Ambasnadors for Christ," 2 Cor. v. 18. In the words of this verse, the Apostle declares, that whereas, God through the merits of Jesus Christ, reconciled the world to himself, he was pleasd to appoint the Apostles and their successors in office, to be the ministers of this reconcilia tion. Hence it follows that if the Pas tors of God's Church be the ministers of our reconciliation with God, if the word of reconciliation, the power of pronouncing sentence of absolution upon us, be placed in them, it is by their ministry and through the confes sion of sins to them, we ordinarily ob tain this reconciliation. And as the early Christians went to the Apostles, confessing their sins" so we do now to their legitimate successors; and are exhorted thereunto by St. John, "Con fess your sins," "For if we say, we have no sin, we deceive ourselves." "If we confess our sins, God is faith ful to forgive our sins." The condi tion is confession, and to whom ? To those whom Christ sent with his powers to the end of the world, and to whom he said: "Whose sins ye shall forgive, they are forgiven them." For the Apostle could not think any one so silly as to refuse to say in secret to God, that he was a sinner, We hear it repeatedly said auricular or private confession was not heard of in the first and second centuries. Suppose it to be so. Do those who say so, tell us the reason why. private confession is not eo much as mentioned. The reason is that instead of private, we hear a great deal more of public confession and made to the Apostles. For the sinner was obliged to manifest his crimes in the presence of the whole church and undergo a severe penance in consequence of them. And those who are such sticklers for antiquity on this head and dislike auricular confession should surely take antiquity to its ex tent ; and if they reject ours, why not adopt the other practice of public con fession of sins, as consistent with the usages of the ancient Church. But in a word, what is the fact. It is this : Confession of sins to God's ministers is of Divine precept,, yet, whether this Confession be public or private, is al together a matter of church discipline. See Cardinal Wiseman's lectures. The practice of confession of sins to God's . - , n 1 miuisters ior ausoiuuon is 01 an Hpos tolic age.ns we abo see from the Apos tolic Penitentiary w'th its canons: And a practice not only of public, but of private confession to th J successors of the apostles holding "the word of re conciliation ;'' as is evident from the IV Lateran Council in the year 1213 ; from the Greek Schismatics practicing the same, 1054 ; from the Council Ca ballonensis, laying down rnles for con fession in the year 813; from the prac tice of St. Eligius and others, in the year 659, Fleury's history 1.37-1.38; from St. Basil, the Great Oiiental Doc tor of the year 329; "in the confession of sins, "he writes," the samo method must be observed as in laying open the infirmaties of the body. For as these are not rashly communicated to every one. but to those only who understand by what method they may be cured, so the confession of sins nntst be made to such persons as have the power to ap ply a remedy, recessaiily our sins must be confessed tothoseto whom has been cpmniitted the dispensation of the mysteries of God." In reg. lirev. p .rlG ; from the letter of St. Leo in the year 439 to the Bishops of Cam pania : "There shall be no declaration of all kinds of sins given in writing and publicly read ; for it is pnough that the guilt of the conscience be made known to the priest by a private confession ;" Ep. exxxvi p 719; from the historian Paulinus of Milan in his life of St. Ambrose, who tells us of the de vout manner inwhich the saint heard pri vate confessions; from St. Chryroston, Oriental Doctor, year 407. "to the priests is given a power which God i would net give, either to pngels or that vhat the archangels; in so muou priests do below, God ratifies above; aud the Master confirms the sentence of the servants" Ep. on priesthood, B. 3; and so on with all the fathers of he Church, the reading of whoe Apostolic ratines must lead the earn est enquirer to that Cathclip Faith and its practices which on their perusal a Manning. a. Newman, an Oaklev ud a Faber have embraced iu Enrrlana. Besides, all monuments of antiquity clearly show that the con fession cf sins to God's minister iu public or private, has been universally received and practiced through the Christian Church in all countries and in all ages, nor is it possible to assign any other beginning to it than that of Christianity itself. Though confession of cir-s in private be an ancient and general inuiilejy.e of the Church, yet the public confession tiill eifts, and is required by the Catholic Church, and is made before the congregation for the reparation of some very scan dalous sin. The millions of devout CatLolLi families in every country are witnesses to the holiness of the Divine Institution of Confession of bins; and an illustrious example of a whole nation practicing frequent confession and under the counsel of their clergy is the Irish people whose purity of morals is known io tha whole world. God only knows how many eyilc which the laws of man could never rectify have been remedied how many calumnies repaired , how many restitutions oi pioney have been made by the means of this fccra;eni. pf Confession. All Catholics know and feel that true sorrow and p-arpose of amendment must accompany confes sion of sins ; and if we have wronged our neighbor in name or goods, we must rsi mjfke all possible reparation. Otherwise ve shall be like those whom Our Lord on Earth would not, and the Apostles eouid COt cure, because they did not approach with suitable dispo sitions of faith, &c. In conclusion let Christian lorbearance and sentiments of chairty actuate you iu word and ac- ttoii ; and remember that vou are the children .of that Ancient Catholic Church, wlifise life pn earth, is to suf fer contradiction and to walk hi the way of the cross of Hizn who founded Her.

The swarm of would-be philosophers, whose existence seems to have been brought about and nourished by the excitement of the times.constitutes one of the most noticeable phenomena of oyr day. Human nature is seldom more completely displayed in its im perfections, ia liability to err, its superficiality, than in the class of peo ple who, taking for granted the pflqt ence of certain effects or phenomena, go diligently, though not always wise ly, to work to explain their causes. Leaving out of view the paramount importance of first settling the fact of the existence of certain evils in society, they spend their time, talents and la bor in learned discussions of the causes of the evils. They very devoutly be ieve in the Virgilian (maxim that Jie is happy ivho Jcnotvs the caunes of tMnas, whether the things themselves really exist or not. A somewhat curious instance of this sort of philosophical speculation is said to have occurred among the savans of Europe. The following question had been proposed (probably by some wag) for the consideration of some learned philosophers: "Why is it that a tub perfectly full of water will not be made to overflow by the in troduction of a live fish?" The ques tion was too much for the wisdom of the wise. It was given up , in dispair by many; but final ly it was proposed to a man who had much of the practical in .hi mental structure. Said he. "Let's try try it." A vessel was brought fi!Ud. to the brim, and a live fish procured and thrown in; when to the chagrin of the wiseacre, and no doubt to the amusement of the waggish proponuder of the question, the water splashed out. This story, though certainly old. : and probably fabulous, illustrates the character of much of the specu atiou of our day,and especially of the t-peculation which concerts itself about the causes of the vast and terrilble deteri orations which, it is assumed, our morals have undergone within the last ten years. That war is a great evil, we do not mean to deny; that peace is a blessing greatly to be desired, and earnestly to be prayed for, we do not now contro vert; but we cannot sympathize with the doleful philosophy which we hear at every street-corner, read in many newspapers (especially the religious ones) listen to from too manypulpits, and find in everybody's mouth the theory that condemns the present time as the most corrupt, vicious and demoralizing that our land has ever seen; which de nounces the days as degenerate, the country as ruined, and society as alto gether given over to moral disorgani zation; and all on account of the war. Before people undertake to account for such a state of things, let them have sure ground for believing that it actually exists. Few things demoralize a man more than does the general as sumption that he is already demoral ized, and thus it is possible in this di rection, to do mischievous foul sin in chidiny ft in. It is a remarkably honest man who is more honest than he knows he is expected to be, and what is true of individuals is, in this matter, equal ly true of communities. The moral power of a healthy public opinion, aud of the knowledge that such public opinion does exist, exercises over the average man au influence which socie ty can ill alTord to weaken, or to ig nore. Over the criminal, and the out cast of society, and over the large class which fills the space between these and the thoroughly honest man, it is the controlling influence, and even over the very best specimens of the human race, its influence is not to be set at naught, without peril to the in dividual, if not to the mass of society. Hence we frequently find it true, ihfit the most neathing denunciations of the demoralization of society come from the most thoroughly unprinci pled men. It is not pleasant for the scoundrel to feel that he is constantly surrounded by honest men, and hence he will be glad to impeach society at large as a grand swindling corpora tion, and thus apply to his conscience the salvo, that he is only robbing the robbers, and that he is no worse than his neighbors. Few libertines believe. or profess to believe in the purity of woman, or in the conjugal fidelitj' of man. To believe in these would be a source of constant self-reproach, and of inevitable self-condemnation. "Pnr rpfimi?, rtf this fliQrnrfrr - think it incumbent upon the crit.c of tlifl morals of a rnmviimiitv r,r nf ,ul- ety at large, to make out a perfectly ! rlrnr n to tttet 1 -frr Iia urn- I ceed3 to moralizing about eaunrs: and we insist that the moralist who fails to f,.llnw fl.ia nnW in his inrpstirmtion is running a serious risk of damaging the cause of practical morality. Vhy assign the war, or anything eise as the cause of effect" whose very existence is problematical, or of the extent of whose existence there is, to say the least, little hope of a correct estimate with our light and our experience. The material for making up a fair de cision is not at hand; ami even if it were, few mind'- are in a sufficiently fiixtoricat frame to sum up t lie evi dence and pronounce an accurate judgement. This spirit of depression has become a gigantic evil in our churches and an intolerable ujiisjinee to society: and it is all the worso when wo consider as a reflecting man ought to do, that there is really no adequate reason for it. It will hardly benefit any body, and has already been disrrlrously dis couraging to many. No man iu-id die but once ; yet some people die a f lion- sand deaths in i car mo one.

This does not look at all favor able to the resumption of specia pay ment in this country.

It seems that the reconstructed stat utes of Arkansas make treason against the State a capital offence. At least Baxter says so, and expressess the opinion that Brooks aud a few others will show prudence by emigrating while it is yet called to-day. If they should be arrested and convicted presently he could do nothing for them, since he does not possess the right to pardon; the law would have to take its course. He isn't going to order them out of the State, but he forsees "very serious consequences" if they st.iy. The Washington I'epaliliran sounds the key-note of the recognition of the Cuban insurgents by the United States Government. It s'aya that Congress will soon empower or direct as the case may be, the Executive authority of the government to take some steps which will accord to the revolutionists on the island a significant recognition. As this policy will doubtless be a popular one, there is little doubt but that the Republican party is looking to it as the battle cry in the next Presidential election, with the hope that it would help to strengthen its ranks.
