3 TO H TOL. V.-No. 146. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 10. I860. DOUBLE SHEET-THREE CENTS. LL JXJLi2jj- SPIRITUALISM. Extraordinary Ceremonial In the Vicinity of Fort Lee-The Earth Revlslted-Crand Conclave of Fleshly Tabernaclesand Im mortal Essences-Songs of the Undying-Speech by Epimenids and Bal lad by Mark Antony Moses In the . Tantrems-The Chost of Napo leon the First Etc. The ceremonials conduoted on Friday last in the now haunted oeinhborhood of Fort Lee, by company of veneruble adherents to the doc trine oi earthly and spiritual communion, were of a character so astounding to the average belief ot the human mass, that the hesitation of thi fee who were present to reveitl them to the world can scarcely be wondered at. We under take the tank with misgivings that are only cheeked by a supreme sense of duty. The pre judices of the multitude, it they are not at once overcome by this remarkable recital, may tail in the process of solemn relleclion which it is certain to engender. The occasion was a picnic a term, it is scarcely necessary to state, adopted only ti screen the intent of thoe who were called t participate in the mystic drama of the clay. A steamboat transferred the fleshly tenements ot these elect from the uncongenial turmoil of the metropolis to the quiet ot the bluirs below the Fort. Thence, in a procession formed'of seers and tybils hand-in-hand, of youthful eleves at gambolc, unreproved by skyward-gazing elder eyes, the fateful throng advanced, heralded by the dolor ot drums and cymoals, to the heights. As it reached them, the shaking of its faded gar ments and the stroking Lackward of its patri archal lengths of hair, betokened a castinsr-oif of tne dust and travail ot this sublimary sphere, and an ewiul preparation for coinmuhiou with realms beyond. As the matrons and dignitaries bestowed themselves upon the grass, and listened to catch the sibylline whispers of the breezes in the branches overhead, their visages assumed a corpse-like rigidity, which gradually communi cated itself to their bodies and limbs! The occa sional movements of the latter at last so re sembled those of a skeleton deprived of its usual mechanism as to indicate Unit vitality had in deed departed from them to become acquainted with its unimprisoncd kin. Soon afterwards, the involuntary descent of hats 'rom the uplifted bron of the elders, and the snapping of ribbons, used to confine tneir ample bonnets by the aged female devotees, disclosed the medium, and per mitted evn maHfrlal eyes to view the process through which the soul of the spiritualist quits its unworthy mould ! Bared to the invisibly populous skies, the heads ot the conclave round now presented a thrilling aspect. Their myriad hairs, distended and pointing upward, quivered like harp-strings played upon oy imperceptible ringers. Tne beards ot the elders, lifted to aid the uudistin guishable harmony, veiled their countenances as with a cloud. The tresses of time-worn virgins robbed their temples ot the sacred musks that hide decay; and from the brows of men and matrons were elevated aud given to the breeze these pitying dev'ce? shaped by art Irom the relics ot the departed, to conceal the stinted growth thus displayed by the power ot an uncal culatiner faith. - The physical contortions which presently ac companied this extraordinary manifestation might have excited apprehens on in the minds of thoe who could not tully appreciate their import. The remarks ventured in whispers from the youth of both sexes m congregation upon the fences and among tin tree-tops in the vicinity, were painful memori!s of an occasion so rife with impressive but unaccepted lessons in transcendental lore. To the elect, however, this interesting exhibi tion was the prelude of a joyful and promising crisis, which soon arrived. Arising from a va riety of Intricate postures their eyes still up turned in the perpendicular direction of their shuddering looks the devotees mechanically ranged themselves in line along the sward. A chief utalked t.lovly forward and laced the sol emn battalion. Lifting his voice amid the still ness ot the place, he then pave out, after the manner of the antique chorist. the following hymn, verse by verse, which the company sang in the intervals, with the several accompani ments ol rising, and 'aliing of bands, standing upon one loot alternately, beating their breasts and loins, kneeling, plucking crass and casting it to the winds, and finally tne removal and det-truction of most of their atlire by thetr teeth and ticsrers. the males and females beiug left in a lew scant undergarments apiece: BTMK OF THB DEVOTE K . I. For us no lowly ties are fit: All worldly hopes are trail In loftier tabernacles sit ibe saints lor whom we wall. Chorui.

We wait our garments looed for flight From out this gloomy vale With straining ere to see the light JJeyond this misty pale. Chorus, Beyond this misty pale, Beyond this murky pale; We strutn oar eyes to see the light Beyond this misty pale. Any attempt to describe the effect which the chanting of tills hymn, and the anatomical ex hibition attending it, produced upon the sur rounding group of epectatovg, is happily ren dered needless by the interest of the astonishing event which succeeded. The outcries of vulgar materialists, the levity ot thoughtless youth, were rebuked, in the Right of those permitted to behold, as by a thunduroolU - . To the vision of the latter, a darkening of the heavens, and a dim something in the atmo sphere, bad given presage of the advent of that unearthly company which suddenly populated the space between the leader and his choristers. And by this vision alone were beheld the fold i an therenl raiment that descended UPOll the forms of the earthly vo'aries, who now bent for ward in reverent welcome towards the phantoms that had refpondei to their call. Tbete, clad in tho spectruma of all garbs worn upon the earth in t ncicnt and modern times, piesented a motley anl somewhat theatrical inr.i.urai. re. which was enhanced bv the com plicity of their movements. Tbey paused at last, and became motionless when one of their number, who seemed, Ironi his reach of beard and the strange glitter of but eye, to embody within himself the remoteness of mystery of an are younger than the earliest earthly chronicle records, stepped forward and pronoanoed: 'We have corul E"eaped awhi'e Irom eternity, before yon, are the dead whom the unfaithful memo ries of ibe living: have forgotten, but lor nann-a that only daell In history to be tiaduced and blackened. Mere are the philosophers and lawgivers who con qured sophistry and t rrany in the boyhood of the world, and gave the nursoiings Liberty and Truth a piatiorui and a shield wherewith to fljtht the battel of the later years. Here are t'ie rulers who of old vent the cymbal sound ot the sword ringing tbrouirh emmrns. that the altar of a lost and glorious civilization might be piled with barbarlo aiu. Aud here are the cings and queens and repubioan chiefs of a nearer .tun, at whoso shouts ol Excelsior copulations bay risen to dull the brightness of lator civllivation with the ruftof Di others' b.ood.

"Lot t-olon go on, and renew tuo last expression of that old creature's countenance with the hymn-book.

"Why," said the essence ot Julius Ca:sar(wh'c'i was observeo to be iraternally linked, arm in arm, with that of Brutus), "hv, my doar Moses, wilt you persist in harboring mal'ce. Be above it. 1" the orbs of the toeaker bout themselves for an instant, with a eeculiar expression, upon his oom- anion "had some slight cause to be wroth with rutus. But Brutns and I are friends. Mi, Biutus?" "Very good friends," murmured the lips of the shadowy Brutus, beneath somewhat downcast eyes. "And we" said a Bolter voico that of the elder though spilgbtlier ot two magnificently attirtd I nn ale pliauionn, who issuod, clasped in a sisterly embrace, f rom the throng, "we bear ill-will no longer. See" ai d the tali spectre of Elizabeth turned to gather closer tho now naif-shaking form beside it "Mary, is it not so?" The reply w as lost in the noise of a sudden tumult, that arose from the midst of a ghostly multitude. The phantasm of Napoleon Bona parte was heard thoutinu for a lirenraud, where with to make a holocaust of Westminster before nightfall; and that of Abraham Lincoln for a spade to dig the grave of Thaddeus Stevens. The P irit ot Frederick the Great vociferated for a club to beat out Btsmark's brains; and OConnclFs ethereal laws shook the spiritual dome with a tierce demand to be let at the throat of General Sweeney for only one precious minute. Other heterogeneous cries mingled with the din, which it required all the argumentative and muscular strength of the ghosts ot William Penn and Spartacus to quell. - The origin of the disturbance was found to be concealed in, or rather nearly emptied Irom, a wonderously beautiful vessel half pitcher, halt tub which the shade of Eptcuru? violently accuser! the immortal part of Thucydides with having smuggled from the celestial bin of the former. The soul of Diogenes, overturning this receptacle with its loot, gazed upon it with a mournful and retrospective expression. The sad visage of the philosopher attracted the attention of a patriarchal member of the band of devotees, who, scarcely comprehending the exact spiritual meaning of the strange pro ceedings about them, stood staring lor tho sequel. This individual, bowing low before the dreaming 'Diogenes, accosted him nasally thus: "Is it possible, then, that the earthly past still has a single charm tor the oelestial beings who have quited this besotted sphere?" "Ask," replied the melancholy soul, "the com panions whom you see about me, if there is balm in Gucad that can quite efface the pleasures aud the pains that they have Iett behind." "Too true!" broke in the thrilling tones ot the spirit oi Epimenidcs which appeared to be examin ing, with some interest, a masj ot black fair do spoitrd from some female cranium and lying in the dut beneath "Ah!" the tones resumed, "dallying in fruitless commerce with the eods above, what glorious winnings did we ot the olden time let slip te ow I" (A deoided flutter among the ranks of at tendant devotees I "What mockeries, pretended to be plucked Irom tneir celestial grasp, did we falsely fling to the hungry world as manna from on high. How surely, with bands fateful to generations living and to follow, did we close tho shining gates hold open to a future beautiful with love and peace for all mankind but lost I" The visage of the white-robed and towering fihantom here began to glow wtth premonitory tibtie; and the multitude, among whom the band of ardent spiritualists glanced at each other with a queer dismay, pressed close to catch its words: "Give back, O God, to men. the promise and the bounty oi that cvele! Lacking the Deacon, Truth. they wander fail. Send do vn relief! Descend," ,t a r a: i l .11., .v And rend the vail of time, ana earth and tears The lineaments ot God !

"That men may seek the prize not lost, as now, But to be won renew l he broken vow Of fealty to the Truth the saciitioe Led on by modern lies 1 This imoastioned anostronhe. which did not either reassure the bewildered devotees as to the profit of their calling, or hint any more tnan tne rest ot the proceedings at the gratiti cation of rhose amorous desires expressed in the hymn which had conjured their celestial visitors to appear amoue them, was followed by a dis mal silence, broken by a sighing monotone from the shade of Anne of Austria, to the eifect that Buckingham was "no more!" "No more? why, hero he is at your side," re sponded the phantom oi tne nanasoineet man in England, with a bewitching smile. Ah, yes; but I mean no more as then we were, or xnltrht have been. Alasi the joys, forever departed, that were spurned irom auty 10 a snameiess Kings "Alas!" tearfully murmured the spirit of Antony, whose Sneers toyed among the dark, transparent tressea ot the sorceress oi ineMie. "we meet no more to bid toe day berone and till the night wtth revel, Uienpati a, my beloved! ' "No more!'' "And EirvDt is desolate " "Oh 1" cried the shadow of the once victorious triumvir, erecting its head and planting its iett foot upon a battered beaver shaken from the pinnacle of a wune-uaireo aev tee. "givepacn out tne golden hours of a single night for a rubearaol t Backward !" sang the wraith ot the conquered conqueror, strain ing the outlines ot the Egyptian hanot to its bosom: . - i "Backward, turn backward, O Time, In your raoe; Make the earih young again, lust for a space. , Egypt, come back with vour beautilai shore,! Float tne again up the Nile, as of yore; Fill me, as onoe. with the Joy that the fair World gives an emperor ! let your rich hair, Oueen of nay soul! bind my brow lo your breast; Fold me to rest, Cleopatra, to rest." And then in euorna, Joined In by aiii "Clasped irj your arms, your proud heart at my lair, Wuh jour rark laahaa Just sweeping my fcalr, - t. Duwn the dim river we drift towards the west; folded to rtt, Cleopatra, to rest,": : ; j "Over my shoulders, in nights that are gone, Mo arms like youn, my queen, ever wore thrown, No love like youn" The suppressed shrieks of offended modesty, which had been gradually welling from the hearts to the lips of two or three of the most unprepossessing female adherents to the faith, broke foitb at last, drowning the progress of this song. These cries were promptly checked by the majority of the sister, who, although secretly ludiguaat at the neglect of their own lender wishes evinced in this constant recur rence to antiquated delights, still trusted to pre vail upon the chanty o some celestial atlin'ty to clasp them in a spiritual aid never-ending embrace. With this intent the venerable sisters began to m ngle more closely with a throng of foRHtble loers the shades of Beau Brummell, Ienry Clay, and Oliver Cromwell being among them. But, in the meanwhile, an appalling cataa t'ophe had been prepared by the crowd of vul gar outsiders, who, ltckinar the inner vision of thoe who were observing tne supernatural features of the scene, were only conscious of the stectacle of some three hundred elderly pt ople in their utderclothcs, wandering about and posturing themselves in manners not unlike those desctibed of dervishes and witches in other days. Failing, in all methods adopted, to disturb or arouse these perverae anomalies Irom their ecstatic trance, the youth among the spectators had devised a sefdsh resort to while awav the hours prior to their awakening. A huge bowl of punch, transported (rom a neighboring tavern, had been pol-ed upon a temporary table of logs. Around this source of cneer a conclave, which had drank it-elt to a becoming pitch of cerebral uncer tainly, now clamored lor a song. It was at the vervmomtnt when the tender and venerable votaries hnd determined to bring toelr languish ing endeavors to a crisis that a youug reveller struck up, in response lo this clamor, with a voire outrivaliing kthe bellow of the Bull ol Bi sban: "liipl h'p! hurrah for 'affinitl's,' ben they aie pretty, aud witty, and voung! Give us the g:r's oi einh'een for divinities; Matroi s ruav cleave unto whom they belong! Fot de rol ido, toorali lay; Fol riduleum, riddleuni, toorali lay! "dink! diinkl drain all your glasioa dry! Leave not a heel-tap to flavor the bowl! Health, wealth, love to all iaea, high Up or low down in the body or soul ! Fol de rol ido, to rah lay; Fol nddUum, rlddleum, toorali lay!" This shocking vocal desecration, although it did not produco, lent its etlect to the melan choly crisis that bad ensued. The yearning sisters, resolved upon (he trial of a hazardous coup de main, had flung themselves, with be seeching and poignant, cries, bodily upon the bosoms of divers ghostly inamoratas in the shapes of questors, kiDgs, and cardinals which bosoms, 'luuble to bear the pressure ot so much carnal avoirdupois, had incontinently given way belore the shoes, leaving thp yearning sis ters to mutter their ailcctionate vows in the "dull cold ear" of earth. A burst of unearthly laughter filled the air above their sprawling lorius; ana as mey arose inaignant and halt aroused to a . "lower consciousness' bv the bruises of their tall, the peals of vulgar mirth and the clamors ot a Buccnanalian orgie around them, weie mingled in their double sense ot hearing with the notes ol this sardonic song from their angelic deceivers receding up the skies: 11 The banquet waits .

This plan has been adopted upon mature deliberation, and we therefore warn our readers to place no re liance whatever upon mere reports, but to trust the statements we bhall make daily from the records in tbe office of the Sanitary Superin tendent. The health authorities, through the police and their Sanitary Inspectors, have made such arrangements as will give them trust, worthy in formation from every part of the city; and to tbe end that all patents ot thi kind maybe treated promptly, they urge citizens to ninke such cases a come under their immediate notice known at once to the nearest police ftation a circumstance that will insure medi cal aid and sanitary assistance in many cases even before tbe regular family pnysician can be found. Tbe plan of action wh'icn has been already detailed in the Tribune will be earned outiu every instance. A boute has been rented in Mulberry street, neur the headquarters ot the Board, in which to store disinfectants of all kinds, to be sent to any part ot the city as soon as that body shall be notified by the police telegraph in rrtrard to the place where tbey may bo needed. The energy already displayed will be continued, or, If neces sary, increased, according to the exigencies that may arise from time to time. Relying upon this body and the statements they authorize, there will be none of that lettr which arises from igno rance of events, and none of that alarm which, in siichcases, flying or unfounded rumors always create. EFFECTS OP THE POISON YESTERPAV. Ilonora O'Connor, at No. 27 Monroe street, was seized yesterday morning with those un mistakable symptoms that always characterize tbe uiucase. The patient ib a child eight yean ot a:'', and contracted the disease troni totne cante as vet unknown. Medical aid was promptly called, an Inspector was sent to take charce ot the premies, and at 5 o'c'ock last evening hopes were entertained that the case would not prove ta'ai. Al out the same hour. William Peters, resid ing at No. 698 Water btreet, was attacked by the aiscuse. lnis la put a short aistance irom tbe house already fatally visited in the case of Robert Gilbert, which was detailed yesterday morning. News from the patieLt was at once sent to the office of the Board of Health, and the same prompt and efficient measures will in all probability save the lite f this patient. THE GENERAL HEALTH OF THE CITY. In the meantime, the general health of the cit remains remarkably good. The dea'.hs during the week ending last Saturday, including six trjm cholera aud thirty-six in the public institutions, only amount to 3G3, being a decrease ot thirty as compared with, the pre vious week. The deaths ttom zvmotic diseases. however, increased to 100, beiug 24 more than aunng tne week previous. The causes ior this increase are not obvious irom the naked number, but will doubtless be found when each cate comes to be specially examined and the locality in which it occurred nspected. EXEOETICAL. Tbe premises occupied bv Robsrt Gilbert, and in which he died on Saturday afternoon, were distniected al mldnieht, eight hours alter his death, instead of seventeen hours, as we stated yesterday morning. The inouirv lor disinfe tartu at tbe headquarters of the Board of Health on Sunday morning at 9 o'clock was for a ditfer cnt article to be used in the eamo place a fact which suggests to our mind the thought that none naa previously Deen useu.
