Some of the City Subscribers to the
Banner, arc still in arrears for subscrip
tion. Mr. A. J. Gouley will call upon
all such during 1 the ensuing week, when
we hope that all in arrears will find it

Father. Ryan.—Our respected and
Reverend Editor paid our City a brief visit
week before last, cn route for the Virginia
Springs, whither he goes for his health.
liis advent into Augusta was an occa
sion of great rejoicing to his many friends
in this City, and he was literally besieged
by those who wanted to take him by the
hand once more and welcome him back
to this field of his labors and his triumphs.
It |must have been a >ource of great
satisfaction to him, as it was of pride|to
us—this welcome, for :: was as spontane
ous and free as it was heartfelt and de
served. * v
On Sunday, he said Mass and preached
a Sermon on “Faith,” in his usual elo
quent and fervid style. After High Mass
he was visited by many of his friends,
and on Monday left for the Virginia
Springs, where he will remain for a few
weeks, stopping at Augusta again on
his way back to Mobile.

All parents may lessen their shoe bills

and protruding toes, always seen when
shoes are not protected by metal tips.—

Recent Progress of Public Education
in the South ; a paper read before
the Georgia Teachers’ Association at
Savannah, May sth, 1870. Replete
with Interesting Statistics, and gives
a lull Exhibit of the Aid Rendered by
the Peabody Fund. By Martin V.
Calvin, Augusta, Ga. Augusta, Ga :
Chronicle & Sentinel Steam Printing
Establishment. 1870.
We are indebted to the author for a
copy of this very valuable and interesting ‘
pamphlet. It is replete with interesting!
statistics and facts connected with the
subject of popular education, and should
have a wide-spread circulation. Mr.
Calvin has devoted ail his talents and
energies to the cause of education; and
v. orks in behalf of that cause with o zeal
and determination which must eventually
ensure success. It is a cause worthy of
the most heartfelt interest, and every
thing that will tend to promote it and ex
tend its ;good effects, must meet with the
approval of all who desire the elevation
of the human race.
In the South, there is no uniform sys
tem or organized plan of instruction, and
although much has been done by legisla
tion and private enterprise yet it is in a
crude and imperfect state, and will re
quire time and much work to bring it
to perfection. It is to this work that Mr,
Calvin has devoted himself, and the pam
phlet before us is compiled and published
in that interest. As we have already
said, it isM useful and timely publication,
and will, we hope, find its way to the
hands of all who feel an interest in the
cause of popular education.
TENNESSEE CORRESPONDENCE
OF THE BANNER OF THE SOUTH.
Chattanooga, Sept. Ist, 1870.
Dear Banner:— Thinking that it may
interest some of your readers to hear
something of this fast growing and enter
prising City, I pen you a few lines hereof.
There is here a population of seven or
eight thousand inhabitants, and buildings
arc going up in every direction, while
the merchants are thrifty and enterpris
ing. and all classes seem to be doing
well.
Chattanooga is located in the midst of
a vast mineral region, coal, iron, &e.,
abounding in vast quantities. W ith these
material advantages and its railroad facili
ties, it must grow in size and importance.
Indeed the people here entertain the
brightest anticipations for the future, arid
think that in a few years they will over
take Atlanta in prosperity and wealth.
There are three hotels here, among
which the leading one is the National
Hotel, kept by Mr. A. L. Miller, a very
prince of landlords, and a perfect gentle
man. The traveling public in this sec
tion will find it to their interest to stop
at this Hotel, as the accommodations are
of the most elegant style, while the eat
ing is of the very best, and all the at
tendants of the most courteous and ac
commodating character.
There is here one of the neatest and
handsomest Catholic Churches that I ever
saw. The Parsonage is also a very neat
and commodious building. There are
three Priests, with a congregation of about
five hundred persons. I have had the
pleasure of listening to the excellent
choir in this Church and of hearing
a capital sermon from the young but
eloquent and talented Priest, Father
Malloy,
I wonder if Father Ryan is aware of
the numerous warm-hearted friends that
he has in Chattanooga? I cannot find
words io report to you the many expres
sions of regard for and admiration of
him which I heard expressed by all who
knew him—Protestants as well as Catho
lics; and all are anxious that he should
visit this City again
The Banner is a great favorite with
the people of Chattanooga and is grow
ing in popular favor.
Respectfully and truly yours.

NORTH CAROLINA CORRESPONDENCE
OF THE BANNER OF THE SOUTH.
Asiievile, N. 0., Sept. sth, 1870.
Dear Banner:
Having had the pleasure of being
present at one of the most interesting
ceremonies of our Holy Church on Sun
day the 4th inst. the laying of the corner
stone of the Catholic Chiji'cli in this
town, and knowing the interest you feel in
the progress of Catholicity, I have
presumed that a brief deseiiption of
what took place will not be uninteresting
to you readers.
The ceremony commenced at 4
o’clock P. M., the Rev. J P. O'Connell
D. D., of Charlotte, N. C., officiating.
It was a novel one to the citizens of this
place and was generally atttended. The
Rev. Father gave the ceremony in Eng
lish for the benefit of those not eversed
in the language of our holy Church,
minute details of which would prove
too leng’hy for your columns.
A platform had been previously erect
ed which served both as a Pulpit and
Choir gallery, and the music rendered
on the occasion vibrated sweetly through
the grove and was echoed back on the
Valley by the surrounding moun
tains.
At the conclusion of the ceremony,
Father O’Connel delivered one of the
finest and most appropriate discourses
that I have ever heard. The learned
and eloquent gentleman was listened to
with marked attention by those pres
ent, and the only regret was that the
shades of evening compelled him to
abbreviate his remarks.
Although a large majority of those
present were Protestants, yet all seemed
pleased and a liberal collection was taken
up at the conclusion of the sermon.
Asheville is one of the most pleasant
and picturesque towns I have ever
visited and the lot upon which the
Church is to he built is one of the most
beautiful of this little city.
The citizens of Asheville have ex
pressed a desire to have a Catholic
Church erected as an inducement to
for qii immigrate i,: b! have contributed
liberally to that object.
God grant that the “grains of mus
tard seed” sown here may increase an
hundred fold and that many that are
now strangers to our holy faith may ere
long be numbered within the one true
and Apostolic Church.

Revolutionary Scenes in Paris.
A Day of Intense Excitement — The
Tumult in the Corps Legislatif—llow
the Republic w is declared.
[BY TELEQEGRAPII TO THE TRIBUNE.]
London, Wednesday Sept. 7,1870.
A special correspondent of the Tribune
at Paris sends the following de-criptiou of
the occurrences which v e witnessed in
that city during the progress of the revo
lution .
THE FIRST EFFECT OF THE NEWS
Paris. Sept. 5. —The Empire is dead,
and the Republic has risen from the ruins.
Ihe commotion commenced on Saturday.
The news of the Emperor’s surrender
and the capitulation ol McMahon’s army
were made known to the Empress at 7
o’clock in the evening. She immediately
retired into her apartment, and refused to
receive even intimate friends. Toward 9
the broad facts were known to a few per
sons only, but a general uneasiness pre
vailed, and angry groups assemb’ed. At
II o’clock on Sunday, while the Mobiles,
on their way to camp at Saint Maur, ac
companied by a small crowd, were proceed
ing up the Boulevards toward the Bastille,
they sung the Marseillaise, and some
shouted “La Decheance .” This cry had
been already heard in other localities.
BLOOD SPILLED.
Opposite the guard-house (if the Police
Sergeants, on the Boulevard Bonne Nb
yelle, the police charged a crowd with
drawn swords and revolvers, killing a
Garde Mobile, a National Guard, and in
juring several people.% The mob turned
upon the police and drove them back. The
news of this act excited great indignation,
and cries of “Dawn with the Police Ser
geants !” were heard everywhere. Toe
crowd had alto assembled in the Place do
la Concorde and about the Chamber ol
Deputies. This crowd was also charged
by the police, and many individuals were
hurt. The bridge was barred to the pub
lie and paraded by the police and troops
till midnight.
At the sitting of the Chamber at noon,
Count de Pailkao made an official state
ment of the disaster to McMahon’s army
and the capture of the Emperor. Jules
Favre demanded a vote of decheance , but
the Chamber adjourned till next day at 12
o’clock. The news was not generally
known till after nine on Sunday morn
ing, when the Ministerial statement ap
peared on the walls and in the morning
papers. Soon immense excitement was
apparent everywhere. By noon the Place
de la Concorde was crowded, and the pas
sage of the bridge interrupted to the public
by the polieejsergeants, gendarmerie on
horseback, and the troops on the bridge
and around the Chamber. Popular Depu
ties were recognized and met with accla
mations and cries of “La Decheance /” and
Vice la Republique /” As the day wore
on, the crowds augmented. On the pas
sage of companies of National Guards, the
people shouted “ Vive la National Guarded
"Vive la Republique /” and the Guards re
ciprocated.
THE CROWD OVERPOWERS ALL RESIST
ANCE.
At 2 p. m., the gates of the Tuilleries gar
den were closed, and remained so since
morning, watched by the Ziuaves and
other detachments of the Imperial
Guard. The people 00 the outside were
trying to shake the gates on the side of the
Place de la Concorde. At 22 a ruffi was
made by a parr of the crowd, headed b}-
some of the National Gu-rd. The police
s?rgeams and gendarmes made an armed
demonstration of resistance, but suddenly
yielded, and (he crowd rushed by, shout
iDg, \'La Dexheancef and k * Vice' la Re
pidfique / ’ People fra ten ized with the
gendarmes and trtnns, rod the-e ,v uh the
National Guard Tnere was no resisting
the masses who followed, and soon they
surrounded the Chamber, and finally inva
ded it. Ac 3 o'clock shouting and commo
tion in front of the Chamber were heard.
I saw the crowd from the Place de la Con-
corde. A procession marched slowly aloug
the quay. The members of the Left re
cognized that they were being escorted to
the Hotel de Ville. Then came a rush of
the mob from the other side of the bridge,
the National Guardes, the Mobiles, and
the troops shouting “La Decheance and
“ Vive la Repvbh'que ' ’
T IE DEMONSTRATIONS AT THE TUILERIEB.
It becomes known that the Emperor is
deposed by the Chamber, and that the
Republic is declared. The pe.iple rush
upon the police sergeants and disarm
them Oae National Guard has his head
gashed with a oword and is led away. The
police sergeants get off the best way they
can. The people assail the gates of the
Tuileries. The guards, after a menace,
consent to a parley. The men clamber up
and wrench off the eagles from the gates.
The gates are presently opened and the
peop’e flock in. going toward the palace.
The flag is still flying from the top of the
Centr and Pavilion. The crowd approaches
the private garden. Tnere is a detach
ment of troops there. The officer is sum
moned to open the gates. He refuses, but
says he can let his men be replaced by the
National Guard. This is done and the
officer saves his honor. The people walk
in and immediately invade the interior of
the palace. The flag is torn and handed
down. The Empress has left. The Mobiles
and people amuse themselves looking at
the albums and the Prince Imperial’s
play-things. They notice that the dra
peries of the windows are partly removed.
The people write with chalk, “Death to
thieves.” They rosoect property. The
whole palace is visited, but nothing re
moved.
THE PEOPLE INVADE THE CHAMBERS.
Meanwhile, in the morning at an earlier
hour the Deputies were returning to ap
point a committee to consider the tifree
proposals submitted by Palikao, Thiers
and Favre. A company of National
Guards having charge of the gates
shouted “La Decheance and, as the
Deputies passed, some few Nationals
mounted the steps of the Palace of the
Corps Legislatif, and signaled their com
rades from the Pont de la Concorde. Pres
ently the latter rushed forward, followed
by the crowd, all classes intermixed, and
shouting “Vive la Republique /” Once
inside the palace gates, the people spread
themselves all over the building except the
hall where the sessions of the Deputies are
held. The next hall was occupied by
troops, who fraternized with the people.
Cremieux addresses the people. They
demand the withdrawal of the troops.
Palikao appears, and promi es that the
troops shall be removed. Schneider, led
by two office: s, crosses the court yard, pal a,
haggard, and with tears in his eyes. He
di -appears into the hall whore the sessions
are held. Attempts are made to lorce its
doors. Genera! Motteronge ciders the
National Guards to defend the entry.
There are loud cries of “ Decheance' ’ and
“ Vive la Republique.” Toe Deputies of
the Left pa-s out and receive acclamation.
Gambetta recommends calmness, and says,
“The majority must proclaim the de
cheance.”
THE CONSTERNATION OF SCHNEIDER.
In one of the galleries somebody bectur
a speech. A few Deputies of the Right
enter, but suddenly, as il panic-stricken,
they retreated precipitately. Schneider
now' appears. He attempts to speak;
grows foggy ; becomes unnerved ; puts on
his bat and leaves the chair. At this mo
ment a small side door under the galleries
opens, and about 30 push through. A
National Guard causes them to withdraw
and closes the door, locking it. On the
tribune there are shouts and gesticulations.
Everybody speaks at cnee.
Another party of citizens forces its way
in. The President’s cry of “Order” is
drowned by shouts cf “ Vice la Republi
quc." Palikao endeavors to obtain a
healing, and, failing, puts on bis hat and
quits the Chambers. The President tries
unsuccessfully to allay the uproar, two
Deputies going to his assistance, and all
1 hree very violently gesticulating. The
Deputies of the Left addicss the reople,
striving to quell the tumult. Then Gam
betta appeals to them to preserve order,
and to aw ut the arrival of the Representa
tives as they will bring in the question of
decheance.
THE LEFI GO IN PROCESSION.
It is now 3 o’clock. Suddenly a crowd
of people rush into the hall. The Deputies
try to keep them back, but tho hall is
entirely invaded. The President puts on
his hat and leaves the hall, declaring the
session c’o ed- As he quits his seat,
National Guards and people come
crowding in. There ore general cries of
“ Vice la Republique. The Deputies ol
the Left mix wirn the people, aod all cry,
“To the Hotel de Ville !” Gambetta and
other Repubfican leaders leave the
Chambers and go in procession down the
Pont de la Concorde, followed by the
crowd.
Meanwhile, outside the Chambers, men
climb up to the statute of Law. over the.
portal, and destroy the eagle which adorns
the baton in the hands of the image. Then
it is itself destroyed—the head first, then
the arms. Gambetta and the procession
pass down the Qual des Tuileries. Soldiers
applaud and shout with the crowd. A
lieutenant-colonel cries “ Vive la Repub
lique L the procession stops apd fra
ternizes. The Tureos and the Spahis at
the barracks of the Quai d’Orsay wave
their turbans. The flag over the pavilion
ol tlie Tuileries is hauled down. In front
of the Prefecture there are cries of “Down
with Pietro’' The Prefecture is closely
shut.
THE REPUBLIC IS DECLARED.
Arrived in front of the Hotel de Vii’ e
the crowd forces its way in. Jules FavVe
and Jules Ferry go to the further end 0 f
the great hall. Two Gardes Mobiles wuh
drawn swords clamber up the ornamental
chimney and seat themselves in the lap of
a marble .nymph. Gambetta, Cremieux 1
and Keratry press in and take a place be
side Favre, followed by Picard, Etiene
Arago, Glais-Bizoin, Schoelcker, and
others. Gambetta, Cremieux, and Keratry
are by themselves at the Mayor's table. *
Amid the tumult, GamOetta declares
the Republic a fact, and that E. Ara«o* is
appointed Mayor of Paris. The pe^j* e
shout approval. The Bureau is concur- -
ted. Keratry is appointed Prefect of Po
hco. _Ti e Bureau retires to convtitv. t ,> a
Government and Ministry
At four o’clock the Bureau returns, a:d
Gambetta declares the Provisional Gov
ernment, constituted under the tit 5 e of
Government for the National Referee*
consisting o> Araro, Cremieux, Farre"
Simon, Gambetta, Ferry, Glais-B zoin irffi
Garnier-Pages. The people shout Rocke
fqrt s name. It is added amid acclama
tion. The members of Government again
retire. There is a discussion wheth r the
tri color or the red flag is to be adopted
Schoelcher says “tri-color,” and r is
adopted.
THE ROECiFORT EPISODE
was as follows: A hundred of Rochefort’s
constituents met, by appointment, at 3
P ; m., at the Great Market Hail. At a
given signal, the leader raised a cane wuh
a flag attached to it, and shout, “To Saint o
Pelagie! ascended. Ttie group was
joined by other men, who up to that time
had been lurking in the immediate vicinit”,
m iking in all abiut 300 when they reached
the prison. There were three” marines
acting as ientries outside. One ol them
made believe to lower his bayonet. It was
raised by his comrade. The thi rd follow
ed the example. The crowd took‘the guns
and broke them, but fraternized with the
marines. There was no opposition from
the wardens. Rochefort’s cell doors were
burst in, and he was taken out.
There wa3 no coach at the door. A lady
passing iu one, got out of it and made
Rochefort get in. He was driven to the
Hotel de Vijle, arriving there at five, and
was carried in triumph to the throne room,
where, amid the shouts and congratula
tions ot friends, he learns that he is a
member of the new Republican Govern
ment.
OVATION TO VICTOR HUGO.
There was a great ovation to Victor
Hugo last night, and a torchlight ovation
to Thiers, whom some portion of the pec
nlc desire to see appointed Minister of
Finance. The former official journals ad
mit that they consider the government as
only one of defence, the ultimate fora, to
r>e determined by universal suffrage.
Hugo has addressed a crowd in the Rue
Lafayette.
Sarsfield Memorial.—lt was surely
time that the city of Limerick should be
think herself of rearing some permanent
.and stately monument to the first Irish
soldier of his generation, whose highest
and brightest glory was won under ihe
walls of that ancient town. According
ly wo learn that there is a “Sarsfield Me
morial Committee,” which has issued an
address, especially to the “Irish peoj le in
America,” calling for patriotic contribu
tions towards the good work. We give
an extract from their address:
Up to this time we look in vain so: a
memorial to honor the name of Patrick
Sarsfield (Earl of Lucan), whose faithful
sword from the banks of the Boyne and
Shannon to the bloodstained plains f
Landen, was never sullied by dishonor;
whose life presents one of those ex n
pies of a soldier’s career, equally reset • -
ed by friend and foe. Bold in leso!'. ,
sterrn in action, accomplished in strategy
unsullied in honor, he shed an unhid:; g
lustre on the name and character of his
country. Late though it be, there i~ vet
full time to pay honor to his noble word),
by the erection of an appropriate mci, -
rial iu Limerick, the chief scene of hr
exploits. In this design all Irishmen at
home and abroad, of every c”ced and
class, and ail who value true great u
of character, and the fame of the iar. ! of
their birth, can readily and cord idly
unite.
The sectarian hate and political bum r
ncss that mingled with the strife ami
struggle in which the illustrious Sarsti dd
acted so chivalrous a part, have long
since happily passed away, and it no r
but remains for us to show that v c kn w
how to appreciate the exalted quad lie
a man whose character supplies the a: t
perfect type of the Irish gentleman an :
soldier, and who has been pronoun e 1
to be one of the greatest soldiers of h •
native laud.”
The address is dated “Town-ii;;k,
Limerick,” and is signed by Wiiin m
Spillane, Mayor, (Treasurer), aud by
John Ellard, Town Clerk, Hon. Sy,
