This order is, in relation 76 our attention to the geological conheéted with ‘these flints, and of relative time, what they ntly, objections are made to the P * asked, may they not belong to “from the soil into the strata where they are ~ found, by the force of gravity, through open“ jnge in the over-lying deposits, er between Ite said by those who have examined the Jooalities thit no geologist would raise this objection, that a faw moments inspection ‘would éatisfy the most sceptical, as there are 0. crevices, they aro too compact and immox _ vablo,and the gravel isso fine that a live mole ~~eould not possibly enterst.

D.G W.[9 The Journal wants us th state that after having published two articles from the Democrat defamatory of the character of the Sheriff, it gave the Sheriff a chance to get even by opening its colunms to him; and this the Journal thinks isa great virtue on its part. i There must he a queer idea prevailing in that office of what pertains to gentlemanly: dealing. Itis the first time that a newspaper has claimed, after having called a public man a rascal, that to give him a chance in the game columne te say he-was ne euch man, made it all right. Such.» course would leave the impreasion on the public mind that the paper adhered to its old opinion. The matter_summéed up is about this :— The Journal calls a man a dem scoundrel, and invites him tosay he ain't, or “ you're’ another." ‘We Take IT Back. — The unpleasany daty devolves ori us of taking back something we have said.of our profound Broad street cotemporary. We made a serious mistake -in our issue. of yeaterday, when we alleged an incorisiatency againat the Democrat in calling an act of the-editor of this paper a rascality Ja one article, which it claims the. worse part its editor took inthe same act was legimate. At firat sight we thonght it look ed a little inconsistent and said so rather hastily. “We were evidently in error. Th® Democrat menns raseality is in character and legitimate for its conductors, but net for us, We accept the amendment. Tr wont bo, Parson.—The Journal says the TRANSCRIPT condemns the arrangement by. which the county was to pay $500 for its Transcript had said nothing of the kind, although a paragraph which appeared since might be construed in that way. But this does not bett»r the case with the Journal. The editor of that paper is # little befogged— juata little. He is trying to make us respons sible for the Sheriff's card.. Please remember better, parson, and make nicer distinc tions. ' By the way does the editor of the Journal think it just right, or incumbent on him to ‘glare the thing, that the editor of this paper was the proposer of the proposition to charge the county five hundred dollars for the county printing, at the same time expressing ignorance whether the editor of the Democrat as Supervisor voted to award the contract to his own paper? The editor of the Taanscripr hasbeen reticent. Whos the sneak that exposes private contracts? We kvow who is the tool. sirsene fags et Emer Ev” The Journal very chivalrously invites us to sue it, the Democrat and the Sacramento Unien for damages for publishing defama. tory articles against the Sheriff, at the same time intimating the speculation weuldu’t pay The Journa? has evidently in mind the old ad: dage, ‘Sue a beggar and catch a louse.’ Tue editor of the Democrat says he is taking under consideration the proposition to publish a series of articles on the “ Antiquities of the Moscovy"Duck.” Should the Democrat man accept the proposition his own pedigree will be traced before the author a ; GP The following items were from San Francisco to the-Marysville papers. x Fe fectly capable of mundating the dry land . . printing.

Advices from Fortress Monroe indicate that the enemy are strongly fortified beyond the Rappahannock. Commissioners appointed by Gen. Wool to exemine into the condition of contrabands report that the number at Fort Monroe is 690 at Camp Hamilton 743. : . Little inc} netion is manifested by the contrabands to go North.

The City Couneil of Washington has presented on earnest remonstrance to Congress against the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. WINCHESTER, March 28th—Saturdayaf.ternoon the rebel Jackson having been incorrectly informed by the inhabitants that this town had been deserted by the Union troops sent 2 force of 500 cavalry with two guns to retake it. Our pickets were driven’ in. Gen. Shields brought up bis forces drove the enemy back, and took several pripaoners. The General was wounded in the arm by the enemy’s first fire. The Federals slept on their arms all night. Sunday morning at sun rise, Jackson being reinforced attacked Shields near Kearnistown, 5 miles from Winchester. The enemy were strongly posted in the woods and behind stone walls. The rebel artillery was posted on eminences on both sides of their left wing. His force consisting 6f Ashby’s eavalry, 500 in nnmber and 5,000 infantry and 9 pieces of artillery with areserve. The fight continued till noen when a charge was made by the Ohio infantry, Michigan First and First Virginia cavalry on their rightdriving the enemy back halfa mile when they got their guns in postion again in a dense wood flanked by infanttry and caused our forces to retire. A short artillery engagement ensued when Shields ordered Colonel Tyler to turn their left flank. Wincttester, Va. March 25th.~én. Shiell’s has received a dispatch from Gen. Banks.dated 5 miles beyond Strasburg. The enemy were in full retreat, and our forces in hot pursuit. The loss of the enemy must be enormous. They have abandoned their wagons aleng the road which are filled with dead bodies. “Houses on the route are found crowded with the wounded and dead; buildmnge and towns adjacent to the battle field are all found filled with their wounded. Wivcuester, March 25th.—Last advices from Strasburg say Banks and Shields are there, ang Jackson in siyht~another battle 1s expected to-day. It is currently reported to-night, that Banke has overtaken and destroyed two hundred of Jackson's wagons. TEMPERANCE MEASURES mx OLDEN plants in the Rom«n territory to be. routed, out.

We do not see how anything farther, is to be added tu the revewue-by increasing imposts, ge more reyebdé must te raised, and the only resource is direct taxation.

Homictpe in San JoaQvutn.—A man by the name of Romines was killed, March 23d, on the Hogan road, about-thirteen miles from ing particulars in reference to the affair: The killing was done by J. C, Shepherd, who wns formerly in business in this city.— The weapon used was a revolver, the ball striking Romines in the back part of the head, when the deceased fell forward on his face. Shepherd immediately cate te tewn and de~ livered himself up to Sheriff Hook. The -reasons-_given forthe aet-are, that Romines had spoken against the character of Mrs. family. This state of affairs had been going on for several months up to the time of the killing of Romines. The deceased liad formerly worked for Shepherd, during whieh time hé and his Wile had taught Romines to read aud write. After he was discharged he bought a note against Shepherd, and ealling upon Mra. Shepherd, he demanded she should give him a new note with her named attached to it, and upon refusing, he threatened to kill her, and started after her with a razor, when she ran, and upen reaching: the door, fell and fainted. When she came to he was gone. Afterward, he threatened her that if she told her husband, he would “kill every one of them.” He had been in the habit of calling at the house and abusing the family during Shepherd's absence, and upon one occasion Mrs. Shepherd endeavored to shoot him with a shot gun, and thus ran him off. On the morning of the 22d, Shepherd) saw him going by, when he started after him and shot. him in the head. Romines was aged about twenty-five years. ES"The Progress. of Catholicism in New England is one of the marked faets of this dayLast mouth they dedicated two splendid churches, each of which éo«t them from ‘fifty to sixty thousand dollars; one in Charlestown and the other in Springfield. The number of Catholics at Springfield is stated to be five thousand, though there was not enough there twenty-years ago te have worship in a private houge. This ie their history in all the chief towns and cities: and if they ‘should make the same progress for a century to come that they have in the last twenty-five ears, they would be in a majority in this old uritan State. Many Protestauts please themeelves with the idea that their increase is solely by immigration, and the children will ahjure the faith of their fathers. Never was ® greater mistake. A majority of all the chikireti born in Boston are Catholics, and so much fasterdo they relatively multiply that this will shortly be sein the other vities, Nor do we perceive that the young Catholics are! ss tenacious of their religion than were their fathers fresh from Ireland. ‘hey change their manner of life and dro the O’ and Mac from their names, but their religion is the last thing they abandon.— Newguryport Herald.
