The first scene iu the novel drama of the war, which, we trust, is to add new lustre to the fame of Charleston, bas closed. Let us render thanks to the Lord of Hosts that the result thas far has been one of proud tri- umph to our cogptry. As yet, however, we have but entered upon the ordeal. It will) be for the next few days to tell the tale of | our sad disaster or complete success.

In view of the reticence which (for reasons of military policy) hae heretofore marked our allusions to the presence of the iren-clad fleet, a brief review of the events of the week will not be out of place.—About noon on Sanday last the first intelligence was flashed to the city from Fort Sumpter that the tur- rets of the farfaumed Monitor gunboats were looming up against the southeastern horizon. During the afternoon the entire fleet hove in sight.—E:ght Monitors besides the frigate Lvonswies and twenty seven wooden war vessels took up their position just ‘beyond the bar.

Then again the em- ployer, so long as he can manage to pay off his servant in some way, he is satisfied, no matter what rabbish he has palmed off on him, or how much he has charged him for it; and the servant, so long as he puts ia his tune, why his conscience is clear; if he steals a litde to make up for the bad cotton or poor barley mea! which he received in way of payment, why he is all right, so long as he 1s not found out. I once saw two young men — members of the Baptist Church — take great pains in turning down all the rotten holes of some timber they bad just sold, but net delivered, pre- yaratory to the surveyor seeing it. What won- rous effect their creed had upon them!

Now let us turn to the Catholics. Is a worse icture presented there? Atleast, not within the imits of my acquaintance. During my inter-

course with my Catholic frieuds, I have found as mueh honor, as much honesty, and as much gene- rosity and kindness as ever I found among Pro- testants, Do we not find as many libertines among the Protestants as ameng Catholics? Are there not as many acts of adultery, of fornication, of uncleauness, of lasciviousness, of hatred, of variance, of wrath, of Strife, of envyings, of mur- ders, and of drunkenness among the Protestants of P. E. Island as ameng'the Catholics? What reason, then, has the Monitor man’s editor to wail over the anti-christianity of the 35,000 Ca- tholies?

We have no hope of relieving their bewildered minds from the delusions under which they la- bour, but we must tell them plainly that only mad- inen, fools and knaves believe, or pretend to believe, that Orangeism is a religious, charitable and loyal institution, and essential to the preser- vation of Protestantism.
