Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Court day — Speeches — liberal Appropriations — Catholics in the Army — their duty to the South--more troops — the Dispatch, &c Wytheville, May 13, 1861. We had another grand rally at our Court to-day, before a full bench of Magistrates. Judge Fulton addressed the Court in eloquent terms on behalf of the county making a liberal appropriation towards organizing and equipping the military companies now forming throughout the county. He was fhe army of Virginia, has given great satisfaction to our Catholic fellow citizens of this county, as his ability, patriotism, and plenty eminently entitles him to the consideration of the Government, who is no doubt aware of the large number of Catholics in the Southern army, whose religious as well as military feelings should be consulted and provided for with as little delay as possible. Mr. Sears' conduct is in striking contrast with the course pursued by the Catholic clergy and lady of

Toleration in Sweden. --The Swedish Government has just taken an important step in the path of civilization and reform. Up to the present time no Jew has been permitted to set up any business or exercise any profession in Sweden without a special license from the Government, which license could only be obtained after much vexatious delay and considerable expense. To put, an end to this grievance the King, in accordance with the Legislative Chambers, has just decreed that every Jew, who has not been condemned for any criminal action, has permission to establish himself in Sweden without any restriction, and to follow any calling or to acquire property of any kind, under the same circumstances as the Christians in that country. There are still illiberal restrictions upon Catholics in Sweden.

ul and rigid in all their pecuniary engagements. The virtues of hospitality and of liberality no one denies them, and the noble institutions of Charleston for the relief of orphans are unsurpassed in this country. In regard to religion, we suppose there is no State in the Union which has, in proportion to population, as many churches and professors of religion, and as little infidelity; whilst, at the same time, there is a noble spirit of toleration amongst all denominations, and between Catholics and Protestants such as we rarely find elsewhere. The population of Charleston is as thoroughly church-going as New England was in its best days, and there is one church alone which has 2,500 African communicants. It may be mentioned here that the religious education of the negroes is more carefully and thoroughly attended to in South Carolina than in any other Southern State. They are not permitted, as in Virginia, to hold separate assemblies; but in every church of every denomination

The New York Times on the Irish. --But a little while ago, the bigotted editor of the Daily Times proclaimed war against Popery; declared that it was adverse to civilization and the spirit of the age, and ought to be exterminated. Yesterday he turned his venom against Catholics themselves, and says of the ancestors of the Irish that they were "half slaves, half savages." He endeavors to prove that the origin of the South Carolinians of the present day is of the more degraded description, consisting of "low-bred people," "persons of low and indigent circumstances," people "reduced to misery by passion and excess," and who fled from their native land from "the rigor of unprincipled creditors," and sums up by quoting an early authority to show that "none had furnished the province of South Carolina with so many inhabitants as Ireland," who "in those days were half slaves, half savages." Quite a sufficient reason, thinks the rampant Abolitionist writer, for wholesale slaughters, ha

en the Iron Duke, if he had not been hardened by moral conflict, as well as by warlike compact. At the time I was in London the Duke had given his voice for Catholic emancipation, consequently he had made himself obnoxious to the bigoted rabble. Sectarian preachers preached against him day and night, from pulpit, stand and stump, about treason, Popery, and the like, until the poor ignorant masses imagined that they must be bitted and bridled by a Pope and Priesthood, and to the death, if Catholics were treated like human beings.--Wellington had thrown his great influence in the scale for emancipation; consequently, the mob determined to revenge what they considered their wrongs on him. The animas of a mob is more frequently a mistake than a wickedness. One morning in February I noticed threatening crowds near the Pall Mail gate, not far from the statue of Achilles. This statue was cast from cannons taken in the Iron Duke's various battles, and was dedicated "To Arthur, Duke of Wel

f farewell, we ask them to do justice to our memories, and give us a soldier's epitaph. To our spiritual adviser, we simply say, Father Smoulders, Holy Father, through your instrumentality we have been led to seek pardon for our sins, and we fell within that God, through the intercession of the blessed Saviour, will not shut the gates of mercy against us. Father, with our dying breath we bless thee, and when we meet our Judge we will bear witness of your labors in our behalf. We die good Catholics, placing our reliance upon a merciful God, whom we hope will pardon all our sins and permit us to enjoy an eternity of bliss. One of us has three brothers in the army, and when they learn of his untimely end let them think that although called upon to suffer for a violation of military law, we die a soldier's death; and although we would rather have died upon the field of battle, fighting as we have done for our beloved country, yet in dying thus no ignominy is attached to our death,

ven," whose birth we this day celebrate, and whose coming we greet with garlands of joy and anthems of thanksgiving. Christmas has always been an honored festival among the descendants of the Cavaliers. In the North, Thanksgiving Day, a Paritan festival, on which the Sons of the Pilgrims show their gratitude by stuffing themselves to death with pumpkin pies, and New Year's Day, which has been imported from Holland, have thrown good old Christmas into the shade. With the exception of Catholics and Episcopalians, whose ritual provides for the celebration of both Thanksgiving and Christmas, giving the latter the prominence which is its due, the North stands alone among Christian nations, whether Roman Catholic or Protestant, in its neglect of the greatest festival of the Christian year. In our own sunny land, the old-fashioned English Christmas still retains its ancient supremacy, and even the intervention of such infernal passions as those which dominate in the despotism at Wash

g are to the 7th inst., The Texans under Sibley were at Fort Thorne, fifty miles from Fort Craig, advancing on the latter place.

They have every advantage, and are confident of success provided there be no treachery. grand pontifical mass meeting was field in all the churches of the Territory on the 10th, to pray for the souls of Catholics killed in battle.

ial man. Amid such scenery lies the bodies of those buried in three cemeteries adjacent to this city. A beautiful feature is it in the faith of the pious Catholic which, on All Saint's Day, prompts a visit to the still abodes of the departed dead. Many, indeed, are the hallowed memories which on that day are called up in bright and beautiful reality to endear the dust of those who, when living, were beloved, and who now, though slumbering in the narrow house, are revivified by the magic fancies of affection. Nothing is better adapted for exciting purifying reflections than a visit to the cemeteries; and the writer — all-be-it of no particular faith — can but wish that his fellow-citizens were all Catholics, at least to the extent of paying devotion on an All saint's Day to the memory of those that "be gone before." To us it seems that all the scenes to be witnessed at the cemeteries are capable of conveying instruction which should make the visitor wiser and better ere he leave
