Since General Ulysses S. Grant has been nominated for the Presidency of the United States by the New York Herald, he would like to call the attention of the Catholics of the country to an account by Lt. Colonel Fremantle, Coldstream Guards, Royal Army. It tells of the practice of Federal troops in Jackson, Mississippi in destroying, pillaging and looting private homes and other buildings with no military significance. Also, under the eyes of Grant, a Catholic Church, the priests' house, and other buildings were destroyed. Fremantle is a foreigner, and a Protestant and therefore a disinterested witness. They were informed a few months ago of the destruction of a Catholic Church in Louisiana by Admiral Farragut and of the confinement of a French priest on an island in the Mississippi. Since then they have read of the destruction of a Catholic Church in florida by New England troops under the eyes of General W.S. Rosecrans and Archbishop John Baptist Purcell. Unless slavery and Popery have been decreed to die together, there is no need for such a thing. The Catholic Bishops should follow the lead of the Methodists in taking possession of southern Churches in the wake of the Federal Army, as is being done by the Methodist Bishops Aimes and Scot. How do we know whether or not the remains of the Catholic Church in Jackson will not be changed into a Northern Methodist meeting house before the war is over or that the land upon which the Church stood will not be appropriated for the use of a Negro school house? :: I-1-m A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
