Cai.houx Mills, P. 0. 1
Abbeville County, S. C., [
March 11, 1869. )
Messrs. L. T. Blome & Cos. :
Dear Sirs : —Some time last Summer,
in a conversation with some friends from
Augusta, I expressed a desire to see a
number of the “Banner of the South/’
a short time after this, I received a pack
age containing the back numbers, and
have since regularly received the paper.
Ido not know who to thank for this fa
vor, for I regard it as one far more val
uable than the mere subscription. You
will find enclosed three dollars for the
next year—this renewal, in a business
point of view, is a sufficient evidence of
my appreciation of the paper, but gives
no expression to the sentiments of ad
miration which I entertain for your
noble Editor ; as a Protestant I may not
call him “Father,” but with his permis
sion he is my Brother. We are as one
upon all questions on the “ Patria ” and
not separated by an impassable gulf on
the other.
You have my best wishes for your
success. Respectfully, &c.,
M. 0. T.
M. J. F., Selma, Ala.—Our Traveling
Agent will visit your City shortly, and
we will feel grateful for any attentions

P. C., Montgomery, Ala.—Papers

W. G. K , Sumter, S. C.—ln renew
ingl his subscription, says; “It is with
the greatest reluctance that I write
County, instead of District, as formerly
—not that there is anything objection
able in the name of County; but because
the style has been imposed by Yankees,
Scalawags, and Free Negroes.” Money
received and papers sent.
Miss K. M. L., Oil Trough Bottom,
Ark.—We shall be pleased to hear from
you often.
A. S. G., Mobile, Ala.—Money re

W. T. 0., Tucson, Arizona Ter., send

of us you will recognize as old subscri
bcrs, all true to the principles you so
nobly advocate, both religiously and po
etically. I hope soon to be able to in
-01 case our list to double its present size,
as the accessions to our population are
mainly irom the South, and I hold that
no Southern man, having the means
should fail to encourage the Banner.”

Before closing my letter permit me,
ns a staunch friend of the “Banner,” to
express my admiration of the noble fear

I hope earnestly that the “Banner”
may spread from Virginia to Texas,
from Louisiana to the Gulf, and that its
prosperity may equal the desire of its

Correspondence of the Banner of the South.
THE REDEMPTORIST FATHERS AT
LOCUST GROVE.
On the evening of the 9th of March,
our little Church of Locust Grove was
visited by the Missionaries—Fathers
Gross and O’Donohue. Their sermons
were listened to with the deepest atten
tion and respect, not only by Catholics,
but also by those of other denominations.
That their efforts in the holy cause of
reconciling the sinner to his offended
God were crowned with success, was
clearly manifested by the number that
approached the sacred tribunal of Pen
aDce. It was with feelings of joy, min
gled with regret, that we bade them
adieu on the morning of the Pith—-joy
for the peace they imparted to our hearts,
and regret at having to relinquish them
so soon. Long will those devoted and
zealous Fathers be remembered by us,
both in heart and prayer. To them we
return our sincere thanks; also, to our
dear kind Bishop, for not having forgot
his little flock at Locust Grove.
(Mtolic gntelligow.
A Polish Confessor.— Many of our
readers will remember the history of the
Abbess Makrina, a Basilian nun, sorely
persecuted and maltreated by the late
Czar Nicholas, from whose agents she
contrived to escape, to find a sure refuse
at Rome. During twenty-five years she
governed the Basilian Convent in that
City, attracting the veneration of all who
knew her, and offering all her sufferings
and prayers for the deliverance of her Na
Msariffi ei iib i 0
tion from the oppressor. This holy wo
man died, on the evening of Ash Wednes
day, in the arms of the Princess Odes
calchi, one of her most devoted friends.
Only two days intervened between her
death and that of her countryman, Count
Plater. If Poland has innumerable vic
tims on earth, whose sufferings plead for
the restoration of her national life, she
has also Saints in Heaven, whose prayers
will perhaps obtain it. —London Tablet.
Ordinations in the Diocese of Cleve
land. — On Sunday, March Tth, the Rt.
Rev. A. Rappe, D. D, Bishop of Cleve
land, held an Ordination in the Cathe
dral of that city, at which the following
gentlemen were raised to the dignity of
the Priesthood: Os the Diocese of
Cleveland, Rev Thomas Conlan, Rev.
Joseph Eiler, Rev. Nicholas Flammang,
Rev. Michael Pitts, and Rev. Patrick
Quigley; of the Diocese of Erie, Rev.
Patrick McGrath. In the evening of the
same day the Right Rev. Bishop deliv
ered a powerful and convincing dis
course on Holy Orders, which Sacra
ment he traced in a direct line to the
days of the Apostles. On both the oc
casion of the Ordination and the Sermon
the Cathedral was densely crowded,
many of the audience being non-Catho
lics, who were much impressed with the
beauty and solemnity of the services.
[N. Y. Tablet.
Diocese of Savannah.— The Mission
of the Redemptorists at Key West. —
The Rev. Fathers Neithart and Dohl, of
the order of the Redemptorists, at the in
stance of the Right Rev. Bishop Yerot,
of this Diocese, reached here last week,
and entered upon the labors of a Mission
on Sunday, ldih ult
The sudden illness of Father Dohl
constrained his return to New Orleans,
and thus the arduous labors of the mis
sion were devolved upon his confrere,
Father Neithart.
In common with many other Protest
ants, and with some who are “on the
fence,” we have listened to Father Neit
hart with interest and pleasure; and
that, though not a member of his Church,
he has our earnest sympathy and warm
est wishes for the success of his mission.
As everyhody goes to hear him, and all
are pleased and surprised at his peculiar
manner, it may be proper here to say,
he uses no word which the most ignorant
and unlettered of his auditors can fail to
comprehend; nor do his discourses, from
beginning to end, exhibit the slight
est attempt at display, or appeal to
passion or feeling. Not a metaphor nor
a figure of rhethoric varies his even flow
of truth and reason, or diverts the mind
from the Doric severity of his style,
where ornament would be as much out
of place as would a Corinthian capital
upon a shaft of uncut granite.
[Key West Dispatch.
From a private source we learn that
the Mission was a complete success—
many negligent Catholics having been
brought back to their duty, twenty-one
converts joining the Church, and many
still under instruction preparatory to re
ception.—Morning Star.
The rapidity with which Plantation
Bitters have become a household ne
cessity throughout the civilized nations,
is without a parallel in the history of
Spain and the Protestant Bible.
In the Church of St. Thomas, Canter
bury, on Sunday last, the Rev. Dr.
Stewart M’Corry delivered a lecture on
this subject, being prompted thereto by
a notice which had appeared in the
Guide , of a lecture on Spain, which on
the previous Sunday evening the Rev.
Mr. Martin had delivered in the Free
Ladyloan Chureh. Dr. M’Corry gave
an outline of the ancient history o*f Spain,
and took some notice of its recent re
volutions. It was, he remarked, popular
ly believed that the Bible was an un
known book in the Spanish peninsula,
whereas the fact stood forth in the pages
of Flechier and Prescott, that long be
fore the Reformation, and shortly after
the invention of printing, in 1442, a
Spanish translation of the whole Bible,
by a brother of St. Vincent Ferrcrius,
was published at Valencia about the year
1478. Every scholar, he further re
marked, knew of the learned Cardinal
Ximines, who flourished in the fifteenth
century, who was the great patron of
science and letters, and who founded the
celebrated University of Alcala. He
personally superintended the printing of
the Polyglot Bible, one of the noblest
works that ever issued from the press of
any Nation, and distributed premiums to
the most skilled workmen. From the
Propaganda press at Rome, Dr. M’Cor
ry added, sundry editions of the Scrip
tures, in various languages, were period
ically issued. In Great Britain and Ire
land the Catholic edition of the Bible
has been again and again printed, so
that every Catholic may have a copy in
his possession. The Rev. Doctor pro
mised to resume his subjecton Sunday
evening next. —Abroath Guide , Jan. 30.
