pondeat “J. R. 5.,” at Fayette Springs, wiil
appear to-morrow. It reached us at too late ah
honr for this morning’s paper.
Js@“We are asked the question every day,
“ Has Gen. Robinbon- replied ;to .the resolution
of Councils respecting the ? termination of the
Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad V'.. We have no
definite information on the subject; althoughwe
hear it said-in private circles that Mr.. K. has
written- n letter to the. chairman of the corami

- Every merchant, every; citizen of
tion of the rond,
we learn from good aut
thority that he eome time ago told a gentleman,:
——»-mrgwmi pnrcnusihg property bn-Fede-i
ral street, Allegheny, on speculation, under, thu
belief that the depots would ho located there, —
that the road would certainly come over to Pitts
burgh. This statement, we learp, induced the,
gentleman to declrno making the purchase.
- This is a question of too much importance to
admit of delay, diplomacy or prevarication.
The resolution of Councils is of too serious a;
character, to be trifled with. The people- are
becoming impatient ou.thiß subject. ;
; It is the opinion of the best lawyers that the
bonds of our city, amounting to ¥200,000, given;
to the 0. & P. Railroad, are not worth a cent,;
inasmuch as the express condition on which they
were given has not been complied mth. The hold--;
ers of those bonds, therefore, have a right to in
terfere in this matter. "■...
We are determined to keep this subject
fore the people,” until-a definite and satisfactory
answer shall be made by Gen. Robinson to the
resolution of Councils. The people of Pitts
burgh now. look; to the Post as the representative
of their feelings on this subject. The Ottzcttc
andiJonmai, for reasons which the publio may
guess.at, nvoid making any reference to this ex
citjng topic. .
Venice, Mr. Greely. sayß in one of his
foreign letters, is full of deserted palaces, which,
though of spacions dimensions, .and of the finest
marble, may be bought for leßsthan the cost of
an average brick house in theupperpart of New
York. - The Duchess de Bcrri,. mother of the
Bourbon Pretender to the throne of France, has
bought one of these, and.generally inhabits !!;
the Rothschildß own appther,; the dancer, Xsg
lioni, it-is said, owns.-four, and- so on. ChcUp
as they are, they are a poorer speculation than
even comer. lots in -a lithographic' city in Ne
braska or, Oregon. •

Lake Miciiigan. —The waters .of this , lake
rose suddenly on the 11th ult., to from throe to
four feet above their usual level, and in less .than
an hour receded. Atsome places the. docks were
overflowed, the fires in the furnaces of the Bris
tol warehouse were pul out, and the height of
the water in the Chicago river varied nearly five
feet. Volcanic agency is the supposed cause of
the phenomenon.
Insurrection.— We learn from-the Bolivar,
Mississippi Democrat, that the negroes in. the
vicinity of.Qakland, Tennessee, wereJn/.the act
of making an attack upon the whites, a few days
since. This is but part of the fruits of Abolition
agitation. -

((Ala;) Gazette (Onion Democratic,) in its num
ber of May 19th,<1851, takes ground in favor of
James Bnehanan for President. It says:
“ We hold ourself in readiness to support the
nominee of the Democratic convention;, hut we
must admit that our present predilections incline
toward Mr. Buchanan, of Pennsylvania; and
from present indications, We are satisfied that
he will he the Demooratio standard-bearer in the
next contest. - We can consistently support him,
as he Is like every other national Democrat, true
to the compromise, faithful to- the .Union, and
opposed to ■ secession in all its forms. - Under
Buch a leader, we are confident the Demooratio
party could again unite. Such a leader wotdd
rally with • renewed; strength the Democratic

principles which now govern the nation. •

For the Morning Pott-
Holt Remarkable Spiritual HlanlfassCS*
tlons. .
On the evening of the 10th inltl., a small owe o
of friends met at the Jrauße of W.- 8. Conrtt^,
Esq., for the'pnrpose^ of wthessinß Spiritual
manifestations, through the medium of Margor*
etta and Catharine Fox. There weropreeent the
mediums and their mother, J* Tiffouy, o
land, Mr. andMrs.C —. «f an adjoining
county, WmiMoDonald and wife, Mr. Ntoton,
of Cincinnati, and Mrs. Elizabeth hove. The
manifestations commenced by the Spirits direct
ing i the table to be set ont. Two large parlor
tables were placed together, around Which the
circle was formed. Heavy rapping sounds soon.
commenced, .and it'seemed as though there was
a perfect shower, of heavy leaden balls dischttrg- ,
ed upon tbe floor in the vicinity of the mediums. |
c who had never witnessed anything,
of the kind before, expressed a strong desire that |
"the manifestations might be of such ah uneqtii- j
vocal character; as to leave no doubter suspicion
in his mind, and said he could not believe any
thing so strange while there' was the least possi
ble ehhnce'of deception, particular to
mention this, because aUthe.subsequent demon
strations appeared to manifest a benevolent $ •
fort on the part of the Spirits to produce convic
tion in his mind—every eventof theoveningseem
ed to he directed to. that end, Soon after tpo
rappings commenced-, one of tho moyed ,
laterally away from the other a considerable dis-|
tancei andtbelatterwasraised up from thefloor, |
and both were moved nbont with such violence, {
as tq make it necessary to remove, a large astral ]
lamp and two candies to the mantd-piece,. to,
avoid having them thrown upon the floor. - The ,
mediums were closely watched, and It was plain ]
to all that they had no agenoy in moving the ta-j
y ea _in fact some of the strongest persona pres-,
ent »"«*<» an attempt with their feet .to move the j
tables in a similar manner, and they confessed
it wae beyond their strength—the tables being,
of heavy mahogany supported upon niaßslve cen
trai pedestals. We then naked the Spirits if they ,
* ha.l any more demonstrations. They called for.,
the alphabet and spelled out “We ore preparing;
yourminds forgreatmanifestotlous.” Some one
asked “Will yon ring the boll ?” They said “We j
will do all we can—put the bell under, the table
and wait half an hour.” The bell was placed
under the table—month down—in an.ereot posl-.,
tion. A smnllcr bell was then suspended by a j
: thread between the two tables. During this in
terval the Spirits spelled out “Sing.” The
“Mermaid song’—commencing “What faiiy-llke ,
| music steals over the sea 1” was then sung, and j
I the Spirits kept time to the music accurately to
the close. So with two other songs—“ Home--:,
sweet home”—and “Hail Soon of-;
ter thiß was over the bell commenced ringing i
which was continued for some time—when the
Spirits spelled out; “Look, under the table in five ;
minutes.” When we did so, we saw the bell ly
ing upon its elde, but nothing worthy of note.
jg r c then’expressed a desire that the
room might be made dark to enable him to Wit
ness tho electrio lights which are said frequent
ly to attend these circles. The tights were re
moved, and the room made perfectly, dark for
that purpose. Immediately books were thrown
against the breast of Mr. C .■■■—» although no
one in the room could see him, or tell where he
was sitting or standing. The third book thrown 1
against him, bounded and struck Mr. Tiffany
who was sitting at his side. One of the tobies,
was then-token—heavy as it was—and tamed
bottom upwards upon the floor, the leaves being,
folded carefttlly together, and while lying in that,
situation rocked from side to side, while Mr. (
I c— —held on to the legs. The snfldl bell be- i

; log this time every person in the room, except
Mr. McD., Mr. T„ and Mr. C., was touched and"
bundled m some way ny the invisibles. The j
writer of this distinctly heard euccessive sounds
like gentle slaps upon the cheeks of a lady who
stood near, and upon the head of the lady stand
ing by his side, he heard three distinct reps, but
did not intend to mention it, until she exclaimed,;;
“a spirit is striking me upon the head—now It
is rapping on the top of my foot.”
The physical manifestations ceased for the;
present. A quick succession of light rapping;
sounds were now heard, and Mr. T. remarked 1
that thoso were the sounds of a tittle child. ,
M ra . c then asked, “Is it Edward?” An
swer in tbe affirmative. Tho alphabet was then
I called for, and the following spelled oat; “ My;
i dear father, why arc you here?” In this place
it is proper to remark that Mr. C resides
some thirty miles from this place, and had just
returned from the East in obedience to a mes
eage that his child was dangerously sick, which ,
child died before his arrival. The communica
tion continued, “My dear father, during the
three days they kept my lifeless body, waiting ,
for you, l was all the time in the room trying to
comfort my dear mother.” Question by Mr.-
C— —, “Edward, how many days Bince you;
died?” Rapped out 0, correct. “How many
years old were you at the time of your death?”;
Rapped one. “How many months over?”!
Rapped 4, both correct. , He then .spelled ont,;
“ dear father and mother, I am very nappy, and:
glad that I can talk with you.” His father then
asked, “Edward, have you another name?” An
swer, affirmative. “ Will you rep at tho initial i
letter when the alphabet is coiled over ?” Af- I
firmative. On calling over the alphabet there ;
i was a rep at D., correct. Mrs. C.'s question, i
i “Was your father at home when yon died?” An-i
! swer, “No, he was sent for.” Correct “Where!
was he?” Answer, “Onhis way home." Ques- j
i tion by Mr. C , “Edward, do you know I
where you were buried?” Answer affirmative.
“Were, yon buried, beside any other person?"
Affirmative. ••••.« What kind of a relative ?” An- i
swer “ A cousin.” “ Were there mere than one
cousin?” Answer affirmative. By Mrs.' C. ;
“How many ? three?’! : A negative answer i
“Two?” Affirmative. All correct. “What
was the name of-the one next to whom yon were i
buried?” Answer,“Jane.” Correct. “Ed
i ward; .did you hear what your father said the
last time he was atyour grave ?" Answer, “He
said—Ohf if I could believe in, -the spiritual i
; theory I should be happy.” [Here Mr. C. re
marked that he did not recollect of .having made
use of the above expression literally at Edward’s i
grave, but: the substance of the thought hadoc- J
cupied his mind bo much -recently that he had
no doubt the spirit answered correctly.) Ques-i
: tion by ■ Mr. C.; “ Edward was X alone at your |
grove -when there the last time?” Answer, i
“Yes.” “ Did any person go with me when Ii
-went there ; the' last time ?” - Answer,“Yes, but!
not ray mother.” “Who wept with me at that i
'time?" Answer; “My two sisters.”' “What is. j
thename of the eldest of these Bisters?” An- 1
;Bwer, “Harriet.!’ '-All correct “Have I the
spirit of a sister present ?” Answer by loud i
raps in the affirmative. “Is it the spirit of my I
sister who answers?” Affirmative. ‘.‘Have I
the spirit of a brother present?”; Answered af
firmatively by still louder raps. “Is it the-spi- 1
rit of my brother Albert ?” Affirmative. [Mr.
C. here stated that no other person present ex
cept Mrs. C.; knew that he had lost a brother of
that name, and also a- sister.) “ Albert, how
old were yon when you died V’ Answered by i
nine successive distinct rapß, with a short pause, i
followed by a lighter rep. [Here-Mr. C. stated
that his brother, at the time of his death,; was i
within a few days of being ten years of age,) I
“ of what disease did you die?” Answer “Men- !
ides!” Mr. C.‘ remarked that the brother and;
-sister enquired about died more than 20 years i
ago, and several hundred miles away, end that
no person present except himseif and wife oould
; have any knowledge of themand did-not fnr
;ther enquire in respeot to them.) Question by
;Mrs. C;, “Is the spirit of my sister Harriet pre
sent ?” Answer affirmative. . ‘.‘Harriet, of what
disease didyou die?” Answer, “Cronp.” “Are
the spirits of my other sister, and of my father
; present?” Answered by an nnusual number of
simultaneous raps, differing in loudness and
: tone, and understood to indicate answers on the:
part of several spirits present—and among the
rest the low, but distinot andeager reps of lit
tle Edward. “Do you all know my child?” An
swered Uke the foregoing question. “Doea be
know you?” Answered like the foregoing
tions. “Edward, ’have you any teachers in the
spirit wortd ?” Answer, affirmative. ; “Will yon
rep the number ?” Answer by five taps. [Here
it w*s suggested by some one that the answers
of the little child was made by the aid of his
teachers, whioh was assented to by affirmative
**lB.) .

“There' are so'signs os yet in the palace,-of.

In different directions.
Suddenly the King's herald sounded hia trum

aid that the guests should hasten: to it without

King to tho'formor, “shall si t'at my table and en
joy my feast, bnt yon who nave neglected my

Now this King was the King of Kings, the

litEamuAXß CiniDßßH.— The last Legisla
ture of this State passed a law which provides
that children born ont of wedlock shall be legal
beira of their mother,' in precisely the same
manner and to the same extent as if they were
not illegitimate. The Hartford Republican sug
gests that the law is well enough so far as it
goes, bnt it does not go far enough. Inasmuch
as'this class of children are vary apt to have
fathers as well as mothers, it,thinks that they
should'be legal heirs of both parents.-—We can
think of no objection to suoh a law, except that
it may to encourage children to be bom in
an illegitimate manner.— LoweU (Maes.) Atner. -
