Decree from the Pope. --The Herald states that a decree, previously satisfied by the Pope of Rome, has just been promulgated in New York city. It provides for all Catholics who get married by a Protestant minister, and invests the power of pronouncing the anthems in the Bishop.

ollision which resulted between the Yankee soldiers and some Irish companies in the Federal service, are all calculated to awaken serious reflections in the minds of the Irish population of the North, who have furnished to the Federal cause the best soldiers it has had in this war. Archbishop Hughes, in his partisan devotion to Seward, may try to gloss over such infamous , and report it as an exceptional matter, but he is too intelligent a men not to know that the destruction of that which Catholics consider most sacred, in the Florida church, was the result of an imbued and traditional hatred of the Roman Catholics, which showed itself long ago in the destruction of the Convent in Boston, in the burning of churches in Philadelphia, and in the Know Nothing organization, which was an invention of purely Yankee origin, and would have consigned the Catholics to political and social degradation, if its course had not been arrested by the opposition of the Protestants of the South.

sion of its own gall and bitterness. To enslave Irishmen as such, is a proposition which even Yankee fanaticism would not dare to make; but to enslave Irish Catholics, that is a conception to which its brain and heart are quite equal. Know-Nothingism, exclusive and intolerant as it might have been regarded, even without the Catholic feature, found its chief recommendation to Northern fanatics in the political proscription of all Catholics, of whatever nation. Who can doubt that the fanaticism which sought to deprive Catholics of every civil and political franchise would hesitate, if it possessed the power, to reduce them to nominal as well as real serCatholics of every civil and political franchise would hesitate, if it possessed the power, to reduce them to nominal as well as real servitude? --They were the men who had rode priests to death on rails — had burned convents and churches — and who, but for the South, would have disfranchised every Catholic in the land of every badge and vestige of freedom.--We warn the Irish Catholics of the North that they are in the hands of a party which will one day put Parke G

eeley's assault upon the Irish, in the present condition of the city I will appeal, not only to them, but to all persons who love God and revere the Holy the religion, which they profess to respect also the laws of man and the peace of society — to retire to their homes with at little delay as possible, and disconnect themselves from the seemingly deliberate intention to disturb the peace and the social rights of the citizens of New York. If they are catholics, or of such of them as are Catholics, I ask, for God's sake — for the sake of their Holy religion — for my own sake, if they have any respect for the Episcopal authority — to dissolve their had associations with reckless men, who have little regard for either Diving or human laws.

er of the town. Every store was broken open and sacked, and nothing of value to them being found, they manifested their vandalism by destroying, everything that came in their way. After the town had been sacked, the people robbed and plundered of everything, General Grant issued an order prohibiting interference with private property; but this did not prevent a cavalry company from encamping in one of the handsomest gardens, where the fruit and vegetables were just beginning to mature. One of their first acts was to rob the Catholic Church, breaking in and carrying off the miter and chalice. Instead of regarding this as theft and vandalism, they seemed to exult over it as a great achievement, and paraded the streets in sacrilegious bravado, carrying the emblems upon their heads in mockery of the holy church. I noticed a great many Irishmen in the Federal army, and presuming that they are Catholics, it is a mystery to me how they can reconcile such conduct with their faith.

nt, was robbed at Camp Lee on Thursday night of about $25,000 in money. Johnson is one of the Confederate prisoners who returned on parole on the last flag of truce boat which arrived from the North. While a prisoner he was made ward master in the Prisoner of-war Camp Hospital at Point Lookout, Md., and being a member in high standing of the Masonic and Odd Fellows fraternities, was entrusted with a large amount of money by our prisoners who died there belonging to to those orders. Many Catholics who died entrusted him with all the money in their possession, with instructions to hand over to the Bishop of this diocese, whenever he was released, a sufficient sum to secure the prayers of that denomination for their souls, and that which was left was to be given to St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum. On Thursday Mr. Johnson attended to the religious feature of his instructions, which occupied too much of the day to permit him to dispose of all his business, and after returning to camp he dep

: "If you could be blindfolded and set down here you would not know the spot. Except a patched up enclosure around the houses, there is not a panel of fence left. My pretty flower garden has been trodden to pieces by Yankee horses — the olders coolly telling me they had no where else to pen them. But I do not complain. I am glad they do behave so towards our people. Every blow falls upon us as upon iron, driving us closer together and making us more capable of resistance Occasionally letters from friends who live where they only hear of the war, teach me, and read them with a feeling akin to that with which I used to read "Fairy Tales,"--everything seems so different from the stern, lawless, pitiless life around us. "We poor Catholics here never see anything connected with our faith, except the bare walls or the chapel, which the Yankees plundered and turned into a stable last winter. The crosses on the walls, and broken grave stones around, alone tell of its former use."

at inducement. Miscellaneous. The special order of General Rosecrans, from the Department of Missouri, suppressing the circulation of the New York Metropolitan Record in his military command, is published. The articles in the condemned paper are designated by Gen. Rosecrans as "of an incendiary, disloyal, and traitorous character" The General complains that, although it is called a Catholic newspaper, it has no "ecclesiastical sanction, " and denounces its articles as "a libel on Catholics," with other very strong language. Therefore the Provost Marshal is ordered to seize the paper and punish the venders thereof. Indiana, we believe, is the only State that has been always in advance of calls for troops. It is now stated that on the first day of February last that State had furnished her quota under all calls, and had an excess or seven thousand three hundred and thirty men, not including re-enlisted veterans. To this excess is to be added the number of men mustered

ies for himself, his heirs and his successor, as far as in him lies. How was the treaty fulfilled? In less than three weeks the English Parliament excluded Catholics from the Irish House of Lords and Commons. In four years thereafter the Catholic population was disarmed, all the priests banished, parents deprived of all meanetty constables, but in towns to provide Protestant watchmen.
