Protestantism vs. Catholicism. The late action of Snellbaker, the Mayor of Cincinnati, in stopping Kirkland's preaching in the streets against Catholicism caused jgreat excitement in that city among all class-* es, indicative ol the strong feeling which hat recently grown out ol religious difference# there. A great many, who joined in the public meeting held afterwards, which passed resolutions calling upon the Mayor to resign, were actuated solely, perbsp*, by a desire to express their disapprobation of official conduct, which was an outrage upon the privileges of a citizen, in depriving him of tliefreedom of speech: but the whole affair, taken together, mu*t be regarded, in some light, as one of those manifestations, now too frequently presenting themselves, of that decided antagonism, which Protestantism and Catholicism are assuming towards each other in this country, and which, it is fuaie J, is not hereafter to be confined to mere theological disputations. Recently we have seen how this acrimonious religious feeling could enter into the spirit of an election, and in some degree affect its result, in the one held in Cincinnati, in which the common School question was involved.

Protestants in the United Stales as well as in England have taken alarm at the efforts at proselytism which, it is reported, the Koman Catholic Church is now making in those countries. Kvery movement of that church is narrowly watched as an enoroachment and purporting some deep laid design, not only upon the spiritual welfare, but the political interests of the people. Thoroughly impressed with this idea it is sought to convince the minds of all classcs of persons of what are represented as dangerous tendonvies of the Catholio faith, and fiction is reaorted to, to warn us of the snares which are thrown around us by a crafty priesthood. I'rejudiccs revived and zeal awakened, the resistance to be offered will be of no mild character and the strife of centuries, will be renewed with vigor upon anew battle field.

The extent to which religious controversies may be carried would concern us but little as the conductor of a socular paper, nor would wo care or even consider it our province to comment upon it, excepting when, as now, there is an evident inclination on the part of some to connect those controversies with political questions, and to generate politico-religious) discussions and disputes. We deprecate as an evil, than which noma greater could prevail, any disposition to influence the decision of a question of municipal or political character by an appeal io religious prejudices.

Priests have long enough set people by by the ears. It is high time that men should be at liberty to adopt ami enjoy any religJious belief under the sun, without having their characters as citizens suspected, or having imputed to them motives which may in no wise Influence or eontfc! their actions.

A matter which lies entirely Kith his own conscience should not be of such public oonoernmei.t as to subject an individual to reproach, or even to the inquisitorial regard of others. And we are led to believe ti.at, if ft little more love of God were substituted for pride of Church among different sects we ahouitl not be led so often to exclaim "Abu for the rarity

Of christian charity I"

It is to be hoped thai whatever cxcitement may prevail oar cities, or elsewhere, «r-

using from the struggle which is now going

on and must continue, between IVotestan-' tism and Catholicism, theie will be found no politicians base enough to take advantage of the feeling it itcoasion* for their owu per-

sonal advancement, or seek to prostitute religious sympathies for political or selfish purposes. 'i*he safety and perpetuity of free institutions demand that religious differences should never be allowed to hover around lbs lUllot-box!

Hie paucity of the rote given indicated an indifference in regard to the matter on the part of our citizens, which perhaps can only be accounted for by supposing that many of them were averse to betrayiog an overweening desire for the promotion of our town in municipal rank, while at the Mine time, they had no objection to oar be coming iu name what we are in fact, or being styled legslly what we have been by courtesy, long since. Now that we are really a city, it is to be supposed that we will show a commendable spirit of pride and great contempt for all "one horse" towns.As it is the fashion, we must grow extrav agant in our city ex{* idiiures, wink at cor ruption among city officials, encourage bawdy houses and tippling shops, get up rows and riots, and so demean ourselves in every reaped, that no one shall doubt for a moment that we have forsaken the dull simplicity of viilcgQ manners and attained the full perfection of city style. The more divided we become into classes, the farther removed the antipodes of our Society, the less mingling of the rich with the poor, & the less sympathy shown by the fashionables and high livers, with the working and labor ing portions of community, the more we shall show ourselves worthy of the position we have assumed, and the more entitled to consideration and importance abroad.

If however there are some, who cling to old notions and think that the prevalence of virtue and morality, the quiet practice among all classes of the amenities and courtesies of life, a liberal provision for the education of children, well ordered systems of charity and the encouragement of instructive sources of amusement are quite as important as the building of ambitious looking blocks of buildings, the rapid opening and grading of new streets, and the introduction of new branches of trade and manufactures, and that they do in somo manner give character to a city and constitute in fact its "shining lights" why to such it may be a matter of some concern and interest to conkider, how at this period of the growth and pr -gross of Terre Haute, with indications surrounding us, of a still more rapid increase in wealth and population than heretofore, such a stale of things can be best attained.

It is very amusing to read the various comments by the Whig Press in regard to the dissolution of Prest. Pierce's Cabinet, and the explanations made by them when they found themselves "sold." For the protection of "green 'uns" it has been suggested that the proprietors of Telegraph linas, employ sensible reporters, not such as transmit mere city gossip, as do a majority of letter writers, but the reliable news of the day.

That brain is indeed poor which is forced to manufacture a falsehood, that it may be corrected the next day.

iA meeting of the stockholders of the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad was held in New York on Friday evening last. Mr. Brough, the President, was present, and made a speech, setting forth the present condition and prospects of the work. He said that his prediction last year would amount to 8500,000, was regarded as extravagant, but that it had been more than realized.— He said that (he road from Martinsville to Franklin would soon be put in operation, upon which the Madison company had taken a lease. They were also building a road from Columbus to Shelbyville, twentyone miles in length. The stockholders voted a further issue of $150,000 of bonds to complete the termination at Madisonr avoiding the inclined plane.

Letter from California. Stockton, March 20th, 1853.

Dcdir Father, I wrote to you about two months ago 1 was then at AngePs Camp in the Southern mines. 1 was there about two months du ring the rainy season, we had a very hard time there the waters were up higher than they ever saw it before we were entirely hemmed up by water—we could not get out or in. There were a great many drowned in crossing the streams, to get some provisions, for there was hardly anything in the camp (this is a small town of about 500 inhabitants.) Everything was from 81 to 82 per pound, and boarding by the week could not be had at any price it cost a man $1 50 per meal, and there was only one tavern in the place that one oould get anything to eat —they happened to have a little layed in be fore the rain. This lasted about three weeks, raining all the time very hard, night and day, I worked all the time in the rain, never had a dry stitch of clothes on me from the time the rain commenced till it stopped. I just made enough to pay ray board. 1 begin to wish myself back in the old shop again.— Since I have been here 1 have traveled most all over the mines, both Northern and South em and, take the mines on an average, they are not making over fifty cents per day clear of their ooard and it is not one out of eve ry 500 that makes bis pile. I have made a calculation of this myself. Some who see this may say that I am extravagant in my figures—but let any one take all the miners there that are traveling around to find better diggings, of which there are thousands. These men are spending #4 or 85 every day they travel* They cm not travel any cheaper in this country, sure, for I have tried it every way—and 1 have traveled just as cheap as any body. Theie is not over one out of every hundred dial works, that makes over 85 per day, they did not average that much where I was this winter. The mining business is the poorest business in California, if a man is in bad lock, but if he is in good luck it is the best, btit there are very few lucky ones. 1 doot wink that I ever shall visit the mines again. 1 came here a few days ago, and expect to remain here this Summer. Wage* are good, from 86 to 88 per day. 1 find out that travelling about in this country will not pay, I think that 1 shaR get in to some business here this summer.

W. a WEAT0ERWAX.

Diflesttia is Snr Hextos, Gov. Lane of this Territory issued his proclamation declaring a portion of dm Territory, now claimed by the Mexican authorities as a part of the State of Chihuahua, *,o belong to the United States. Considerable excitement has been produced by this proceeding on his part, and the Mexican Government bad ordered troops to the spot, to protect the inviolability of their soil. The Commander of our military forces in toe Territory refused to support Gov. Lane, and thus prevented an armed collision between Mexican and United States troops, which would most probably have resulted. The difficulties will be sealed by negotiation now. It would seem that the disputed territory formerly belonged to New Mexico, but that tbe line run by our boundary commissioners throws it into Mexico, the boundary between tbe two countries established by the Treaty of Gudaloupe running much farther north than it was supposed by our Government. The New York Herald, we see, advocates tbe purchase by the United States of additional portions of this Mexican Territory to fix the permanent boundary south so ss to include the whole of Chihauhau*

A correspondent of that paper says in describing tbe Territory claimed by Gov. ^.ane. "The town of Mesilla is situated on the west bank of the Rio Grande, about forty miles north of El Passo and some 1.0 or 12 miles south of Dona Anna. It was settled soon after the jrar in one of the most fertile portions of the valley of the Rio Grande. In the latter part of the year 1850 it numberd already 3,006 inhabitants, and produced the following season 50,000 bush els of corn, besides a large crop of wheat, frijoles, &o." "This* town !ias^ never'been Vnder the jurisdiction of the State of Chihauhau, but like the town of Las Cruzas, on the oastern side of the Rio Grande, and nearly opposite to it was, governed by an Alcade at Dona Ana, under a system of government established by General Kearney when he took posas the

session of new Mexico, and, „kjE|own Kearney Code.'"

v-„:

'•Up to April, 1851, American traders had free ingress for their goods in Mesilla, and no duty was ever exected. But in 1851, it was discovered that the latitude of 32 deg., 22 min., fixed upon by the Mexican Commission and the American Commissioner, as the southern boundary of New Mexico, intersected the Rio Grande a short distance north of Mesilla, aud consequently left this flourishing town in Mexico. Immediately upon this fact being determined, although the town of El Paso, or State of Chihauhau, had never exercised the slightest jurisdiction over Mesilla, the Prefect of El Paso at once sent an Alcalde to govern that town, the administrator (custom house officer) sent a deputy to enforce the collection of duties on the goods from the United States, and the Paso sent a padre to confess '.he inhabitants. ^Thenceforth it it was considered as a Mexican town and its prosperity diminished."

Below is the Proclamation of the Govern or of New Mexico.

Proclamation.

W

jierkas—A portion of Territory, on tne west side of the Rio Grande del Norte, thir-ty-four miles wide, by one hundred and seventy eight miles long, be the same more or less, is now claimed by the United States of America, and by the Mexican Republic, respectively, under the provisions of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo 2. From'the year 1824, and anterior there to, until the year 1851, this portion of Territory was acknowledged to be within the limits of New Mexico but in the year 1851 the State of Chihuahua assumed jurisdiction over the same, without producing any authority for this act from the republic of Mexico and without having obtaioed the consent of the United States, or the Terri tory of New Mexico and in defiance of the remonstrance of a large portion of the inhabitants of the disputed Territory, who then numbered about two thousand souls. 3. During tbe disoussion of the boon dary qnestion, under the Treaty of Peace, the Commissioner ol Mexico, proposed to abandon apart of this disputed Territory, by dividing it between the two Republics.— And during the year 1852, the Uuited Slates virtually asserted a right of Sovereignly over all the Territory in dispute.

4. The claim of Chihuahua to this dis. puled Territory is believed to be based up on tbe unwarrantable assumption, that tbe Board of Cbmmissioners had agreed upon a boundary line between Chihuahua and New Mexico, and that their agreement in the premises was binding upon both the United Slates and the Mexican Republic, and therefore final whereas, a valid agreement had not been made, and has not yet been made by said Board and, moreover, the action of the Board has been virtually repudiated and nullified by the U. Skates. 5. Each of the high contracting parties to the treaty of Guadalupe, ex rei tweeny, tacitly reserved the right to accept or tfym die decisions of the Board of Boundary Commbsiooen and if the Board had assigned the city ol Chihuahua, and the country north of it, to the United Stales, or tbe cityr of Saitta Fe, and the country south of it, to the Mexican Republic, the action of the Board would certainly mi haw been regarded as final. 6. Ew since the Territory la question was thus forcibly and iBegaBy annexed to the Stilt of Chihuahua,, that Stale haa signally failed to protect the inhabitant* of the Territory in their rights of person, of property and of conscience, and, moreover, has Ml Made a nmsonahie defence against bwdw lHjn aid thereby pre­

vent reclamations against the Uwtei||ates for property taken by the Indiana. 7. The present revolutionary eondftron of the Mexican Republic, precludes the hope ol adequate protection being afforded by that Republic, to the inhabitants in this disputed Territory, for the time being, and a large portion ot the inhabitants cow claim the protection of the United States, and solicit tbe re-annexation of their Territory to New Mexioo, from which it was illegally wrested by the Stale of Chihuahua.

Now therefore that the United States have been wrongfully deprived of the portion of Teritority in question, even should the Mex ican Republic have a rightful claim to it, which is denied and as by the law of nations, the United States is justly entitled to to exercise jurisdiction over the same and protect the inhabitants iKereof, in all their rights, until the claim of the Mexican Republic shall be formally recognized by tbe United States and the rights of the inhabitantants of the Territory, are inadequate ly protected: I, William Carr Lane, Governor of the Territory of -New Mexico, (upon my official responsibility, and without orders from the Cabinet of Washington,) do hereby, in behalf of the United States, retake possession of the said disputed Territory, to be held provisionally by the United State, until the question of boundary shall be determined by the U. S. and of the Mexican Republic. And, I do hereby require all civil and military officers of the U. S. and the Territory of New Mexico, whom it may concern, to execute the laws of the United States, and of the Territory of New Mexico in and over the Territory aforesaid which is provisionally attached and made a part of the county of Dona Anna in the territory of New Mexico.

And to the end that there may be no misunderstanding, on the part of the citizens of New Mexico, as to the boundary line between the Territory of New Mexico and the State of Chihauhau, the true and well known boundary between this Slate and Territory, as established by the decree of the Mexican Congress of the 27th of July, 18-4. and as delineated upon Disturnell's Treaty Map. is hereby provisionally established which boundary tine has its initial point in the main channel of the Rio Grande and below Frontwria eijrhl miles more or less north of the town of El Paso. The said line to run from the Rio Grande, westwardly, and then northwardly until it reaches, the Uio Gila, according to the provisions of tho treaty aforesaid.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name, and cause the Excutive seal of the Territory of New Mexico to he affixed at the town of Dona Ana, the 13lh day of March, A- I)., 1C53, and in the seveniysoventh year of tho, independence of the United States.^"

The Arab Horse.—Layard, the explorer of Nineveh, who is as familiar with Arabia as he is with antiquities, gives, in his late work on Assyria, some curious details respecting the true horse of the desert. Contrary to the popular notion, the real Arabian is celebrated less foa unrivalled swiftness than for extraordinary powers or endurance. Its usual paces are but two—a quiok walk, often averaging four or five miles an hour, and a half-running canter for only when pursued does a Bedouin put his mare to full speed. It is the distances they will travel in emegrancy, the weight they will carry and the comparative trifle of food ihey reqnire, which render the Arabian horse so valuable.

Layard says thai he Wuew of a celebrated mare which had carried two men in chain armor beyond ihe reach of some Aneyza pursuers. This mare rarely had more than twelve handfulls of barley in twenty four hours, except during the spring, when the mares ol the wealthy Bedouins that can get even this allowance. The consequence is, that, except in the spring, the Arab horse is lean and unsightly. They are never placed under cover during sum mer, nor protected from the biting winds of the desert in winter. The saddle is rarely taken from their backs. Cleaning and groo ming are strangers to them. They sometimes reach 15 hands in height, and never fall below 14 In disposition they are ss do cile as lamhs, requiring no guide but a halter yet in the fight or pursuit, their nos trils become blood-red, their eyes glitter with fire, the neck is arched, and the mane and tail are raised and spread out to the wind— the whole animal becomes transformed.

The vast plains of Mesopotamia furnish the best breeds, and thse breeds are divided into five races, of which the original stock was the Koheyleh. The most famous belong either to the Shammer, or to tbe Aneyxa tribes.—Their pedigree are kept scrap* ulously, and their raine is so great, that a thorough bred mare is generally owned by ten, or even more persons. It is not often that a real Arabian can be purchased. Tbe reason is that, on its back,can defy any par* »aer except a Shammer or Aneyza with a swifter or stronger mare than his own. An American racer, or even an English banter, would break down, in those pathless deserts, almost before an Arabian became war* ined up to tti work.—Where through bred mares have been sold, they have brought as high as #6,000

but these it is

understood, are not the best of the race. Tbe Arab who sells his man, can do nothing with his gold, and cannot even keep it, tor the next Bedouin of a hostile tribe who comes across his path, aad who has retained his mare, will take It, defy pursuit. Layard ifet&ks thai BO Arabian of the best blood baa ever baen aeect in England. If due is so, we can aearoely suppose tbat any base MOB to America, bat mast believe the so-caUed Arabians, givao to o«r Government, at various times, to be ot inferior breeds. Rarely, indeed, are tbe throughbreeds foa ad beyond tbe desert. It wi be *a bject of rejgretf to tbose wfeo admire fine boms, to learn Aat tbe Arabian is considered to be degenerating, tbe consequences oftfceeatgogatioQ of Arabia, and the decline of tb* JBedooin tdb«^-(Pbi2.

Progress of the Evansville and Illinois Railroad* iL Tn President ind Secretary of the Elans vBfe and Illinois railroad have just returned from an examination of the several lines surveyed and estimated for tbe extension of the road from Viucennes to Terre Haute.

They report a most flattering state of things along the line. A beautiful, fertile, thickly populated country, straight lines, low grades and cheap construction in every respect.

These gendemen, after examining the country on all the lines estimated, in com* pany with Mr. W. J. Ball, the Chief Engineer and Directors resident along the line were on their return met at Vincennes by the Evansville Directors at which meeting the Board located the road on the line known as the Carlisle and Sullivan route.

The citizens of Sullivan County generally deserve the greatest credit for their zeal in the cause of the road and whilst difieren-. sections showed great partiality for different routes, they all agreed in one thing, which was to have the road some where through the county at all events. The citizens along the line adopted, especially in and about Carlisle, have behaved nobly in subscribing for stock to the very utmost of their ability and have fairly entitled themselves to the road. No county in the State needs a Railroad *0 much as Sullivan county aud none better deserves one and she will now have one in a few months.—Evansville Journal.
