THE WAR.
The desperation of the rebels is now beyond
dispute. They desired to force our army into
winter quarters on the Potomac, that they might
recuperate and reorganise, but failing in this,' they
have determined to make the; Warfare take its
place in mountain passes, and in ravines, as long os
the weather will permit; of it. General Lee is
aoting on the defensive while he exeontes a vast
retrograde movement in a wonderful manner;
but he will have a fire in his rear, before
lorg, that will awaken in him a sense of
his iposition. He is anxious, apparently, only to
keep the Army of tho Potomac from*advancing
too rapidly until the frost shall render the
roads impatsable. Tho entire State of Virginia,
the great battle-ground of this war, will soon bo
wrenched from rebel rule,' and although our
army moves on slowly, it may be able to reach
a milder climate than that of the Blue Ridge re
gion before very cold weather is upon as, and the
rebels will be forced to take an open field for a
fair fight in front of Richmond onoo more.
THE NEWS.
There have been some curious facts connected
with the draft in this county, says the Scranton
(Luzerne) Union . For instance: It made a clean
sweep of some departments in tho railroad office,
the paymaster's and freight departments—Messrs.
Phelps and Fuller, and Messrs. Henry and Barber."
it'took Mr. Olmstead, the only man a'most left of
the Snyder a d Coolhaugh connection, and Mr.
Orchard, who already has lour brothers in the field,
and -is the only one left. In Benton it took three
men side by tide, one after the other, and from
.Donmore two gentlemen went down to Wilkesbarre
and were, drawn one right after the other. In Car
bondaie several only sons were drawn, and there
are two families of large children and liable, being
sear each other; from one a couple of sons have
enlisted and sno'lier was drawn, from the other
none have enlisted and none were drawn.
It seems that the contraband trade, between
the lower counties of Maryland and Virginia,
bordering on the Potomao, is so extensive that it
has been found necessary to increase the strength
of the flotilla, in order to effectually suppress it. i
This increase is to be made by the addition of four
of Porter’s mortar vessels, and such other available
boats as can be spared for this service.
News had been received at Vera Cruz,from tie
Mexioan capital to the 4th. A violent outcry had
been raised by the people and press of Mexico
against the French; and, indeed, all the foreign
residents: there, and handbills had been issued,
urging upon Government the necessity of sending
them away from the city as a means of precaution,
as a majority of them were traitors and spies. In
deed, the excitement against the foreigners had
reached so high a pitch, that the “ Liberal Junta”
bad united in a petition to the Executive, praying
for the confiscation of the property of all the
French residents throughout the country; and the
Giichara —ft newspaper published in the capital,
and which is possessed of considerable influence
bad published a remarkable editorial,' advising a
resort to extreme measures against “ French spies,”
as a matter of precaution.
Last Saturday evening a party of five men,
■while in a drinking faloon on the comer of Bowery
and Rivington streets, New York, began a discus
sion about the draft, during which one of them,
William C. Whittlesey, drew a pistol and shot a
boatman known as ‘‘ Cuppy ” or “ Tony," who
ran out to the sidewalk and there expired-. I Whit
tlesey was arrested;,hut claims that the 'discharge
, of the pistol wag accidental. . .
We learn, says the New York Post, from the
,owners of the ship Brilliant, reoenUy, destroyed by
the pirate Semmes, of the 290, that, with the ex
ception of less thamfive thousand dollars, the entire

will be made to our Government to demand re
clamation from the British Government for this
", property. .1

To-Day,
In the State of New York, one of the greatest
political struggles we have had in this country
■will close. The success of the enemies of the
Administration in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Indiana, has emboldened them to make a
great effort to carry New York. With'the
Empire State in the scale againstus, this war
would become a fraud and a lolly; all our
blood would be shed in vain; our treasure
would pass away to as little purpose as the
shifting sands of the sea-shore. Let New
York speak against the Administration of
Abraham Lincoln, and there will be joy and
thanksgiving among the traitors in Richmond,
and the friends of traitors in every part of the
world. Place JToRATio Seymour and Fer
nando Wood in power, and we shall have that
great Commonwealth a reluctant champion in
an “ inglorious war,” we shall have a renewal
of the intrigues that contemplated a secession
of New York city, and its mercantile alliance
with a free-trading Southern Confederacy.
We shall have its moral effect against ns in
the European world.
We have hopes of New York, of Now .Ter
; sey, and of Delaware. The latest intelligence
received gives us encouragement, but wo
shall not be surprised to find the causes that .
operated against us here and in the West
operating against our friends in these States.
The friends of the Administration have made
a splendid canvass. They oacupied the loftiest
ground.. ' They represented the advanced libe-,
xal sentiment of the age, and they fought their
fight without concealment, treachery, or equivo
cation. Emancipation, confiscation, taxation,
the revenue—-every measure of the Adminis
tration was endorsed by them, and that en
dorsement was the test of political friendship.
This in itself is a groat triumph, and Mr. Lin
coln may well congratulate himself upon
having passed through the stern ordeal of war
—and srachua war!—retaining,the: affections of
the people, and'so bearing himself that, after
almost two years of tho severest criticism and
scrutiny, his bitterest enemies cannot find a
single stain upon bis fame. - * ’
We have sustained our President; we.have
sustained cur cause; we have advanced to the
truest and i west political philosophy; and
with freedom as the inspiration and the Union
as our goal, we may cherish the hope of a
speedy consummation of our destiny. To day
will decide the progress @f years. If we suc
ceed in New York it will be worth many vic
tories.
The Voi uuteer Systems.
At the Cipi ning of the' new « Training
School for Musters” at "Winchester, England,
a public dinner was given, at which .Lord
Palmerston, Ihe Premier of England, pre
sided. In his address, introducing the toast
to the “Army, Navy, Yeomanry, Militia and
Yolunteers,” bis lordship took occasion to
speak in flat iering tortus of the success of
the English volunteer system, by the opera
tions of which that Government can at any
lime summon into line with its regular army,
disciplined, armed and equipped, 160,000
young men in the space of a very few days.
When the system was first proposed, it was
•argued that in the course of a few months the
enthusiasm of the people for military matters
would die out, and that the companies and
•battalions wonld muster with slim ranks, but
the actual experience of the inspectors du
ring the past and present years shows a re
newed interest on the part of the ‘people,
increased energy and efficiency, and an esprit
M corps everywhere evident, unequalled In
uny country, excepting, perhaps, our own.
The rifle and cavalry corps ate especially
praised by Lord 'Palmerston in his address,
and we find by the reports of the annual prize
meetings that"the artillery is at least respect
able, considering the disadvantages' of the
service. The Fremieraliuded with exiiltation
to the-fact that, in-every’shire of England,
especially where there are institutions of
learning, little urchins, twelve to thirteen
years o’d, may be seen drilling daily with
(ir.ifom.3 and muskets in a manner that would
east no discredit upon real soldiers. ,
Can it be denied that in thus speaking of
the volunteers of England, that, accomplished
statesman and shrewd politician, Paihebstox,
has seen an example in the progress of our
war worthy of emulation 1 He sees us living
and almost prospering during a most.distress
ing and gigantic, war, and sustaining ourselves
mainiy upon ihe enlightenment of our people
under,, a militia system, which allows; every
man to serve Ms country, if he loves it, of -his
own volition. Appreciating the force of these
iac‘s, the London Times? in reviewing the
remarks of bis Lordship the Premier, says,
with its rhetorically ingenious sophistry:
«The most highly educated country in
the world is the white population of the
United States, and at this moment those mil
lions of sages and saints are .following the
example of the first two brothers recorded in
history, while the slaves, who have been care
fully brought up in ignorance, are enjoying,
41ie rcene, faithful, idle, and sccTire.” What
an argument against universal education and
enlightenment! How does this wonderful
reasoner set at defiance the precepts of the
greatest minds that ever existed! .
Lord Fa nMEKSTOs has ever seen cause for
continuing friendly relations between England
and America from the force of the fact that
every man .in this country may have an edu
cation, and may fit himself to be an ornament
in trade or profession—may be an honored mid
influential citizen, or a skilful and efficient
soldier. He feels convinced that if the United
States can put a million of men in,tho field by
her volunteer system,' it behooves him, as
the Prime Minister of England, to look for the
salvation of that country In her volunteer ri
flemen,' and hot in her standing army, which,
by reason of the immense possessions of tho
Grown , is doing garrison duty all oyer the
world, and is not really available for the war
fare which England may have to wage at any:
time.' . ■ ■ ■;
But, if the people of Great Britain can feel
so proud of her 160,000 Untried riflemen,
how should wo exult, not alone ever the exist
ence, but of the glorious deeds of our million
of brave veteran volunteers now in tho field,
battling for the cause of their country! We
shall live to chronicle the fact, that this
new-born volunteer system of ours, applied in
-the true'spirit of patriotism by the people of .
the United ‘ States, has carried the country'
and its Government safely through this ter
rible war, and left America hot so weak but
what she may say to the world: “The
triumph of Democracy is complete, and a
civilized Republic is capable of self-govern
ment, under the most unpromising circum
stances!” Then the: gradual intuition of a
military system into every pursuit and pro
fession will make our freedom and true great
ness secure—and neither Liberty nor Educa.
tion will be taunted: with crime, national
frenzy, or demoralization. : ,
Southern Results and Northern Resources
' It is-a favorite idea of the opponents of’dhe
present Administration, who, veiling their
treasonable designs the guise of watch
ful, care over tho fights of the people, insult
our mock our ..patriotism
with theff empty; mouthings, prolong tho
war to a point of exhaustion; to increase the
expenses and the tax list, and at tho same time
to defer any decided success, until "both purse
and patience-are exhausted] and then to raise
the cry of retrenchment, and clamor for peace
oh the ground that a further prosecution of the
war will utterly and irretrievably ruin U 3.
Thus, they say, we can, without any lesion of
self-respect on either side, agree upon a com
promise,, save the patriarchal institution from
ruin, and “ our party 5 ? will ride into power oh 1
the new issue.- Neither, side wilt have been
entirely successful, and .both will be glad to
cry quits. ■ ' ■ -
Now, without exhausting ; our rhetoric in
the vain endeavor to characterize so base and
detestable-a policy as it deserves, let us
inquire for a moment what chance there is of
its success. Who is likely to.be “ exhausted’’,
North or-the;South V The South
has literally drained her available resources
in the purchase of such arms and munitions
of war as could not he procured on her own
soil, and she is every day using up, and de
stroying in the most lavish manner the present
generation of men. Her sick and wounded
are inhumanly neglected; as soon as a man
ceases to be able-bodied, he ceases to be an
object of interest to the Government. They
drive their men at the point; of the sabre, and
force them by the pangs of hunger to tho
most recKless and useless sacrifice of life.
At the battle of Corinth the rebels fought
five days on three days’ rations. When they
made those fearful charges, in which they
were literally blown to pieces at the cannon’s
mouth, they wero urged on by the prospect of
bread and whisky, and boots and clothes, which
was held out to them by their commanders.
They were starved to make them savage,-as
were the wild beasts in the gladiatorial com
bats of ancient Rome; their captains roused
them to frenzy by pointing to the storehouses
standing within their view, behind triple rows
of bayonets and belching cannon, as the hunted
hull is to-day inflamed to fury in the giy and
brilliant capital of her most Catholic Majesty,
by shaking a red scarf before his eyes. .Those
who were taken prisoners called first for food,
and next for shoes. They begged and-ini.
plored not to- he; sent back, and craved the
privilege of enlisting under the flag of the
Union. Out of a lot of fifty-seven, that wore
sent back in one body, only seven reached
their destination; the rest had melted away
in a two days’ march. All the rebel armies
have good arms and good ammunition, but of
everything else they are destitute. The excuse
given for starving the prisoners taken from us
is, that they are treated as well as their own
men. They keep our prisoners as long as they
can; they Impress their paroled men into ser
vice immediately. A sweeping and relentless
conscription, executed with merciless severity,
has forced into the field every able-bodied
man, wherever the rebel army has carried, its
banners; and last, but • not least, the great
foundation of Southern power, slavery, is ra
pidly being sapped. Within our*army lines
only an expensive burden. Outside
of our lines they are of little value; at the
best, their labor only feeds the Southern armjr;
it furnishes no other commodity than food.
Even granting that the first of next April sees
no further advance of our army lines, there
will have been an amount of destitution and
suffering among all classes in the South that
will appal the world, and go far to excite a
revolution against the present leaders of the
rebellion, which will hurl them from their ill
gotten power, and consign them to the infamy
they deserve. - .
It scarcely needs a word in these columns to
portray tho vivid contrast which the North
presents in every respect to the above picture.
But to the particular point before us, we may
cite the universal prosperity at the North in
every department—commercial, agricultural,
aud manufacturing—as a matter within the im
mediate observation of every one. Our'army
is nearly filled by yolunteers;ana would be en
tirely, but for the great and unprecedented
demand for all kinds of labor. Indeed, it is
the want of a “realizing sense” of the war, as
well in a practical as in a theoretical point of
view, that has, to'some extent, prevented our
enthusiasm from rising to Southern fever
heat, and given Southern sympathizers to be
lieve that we are not in earnest in what wo
have undertaken to do. We do not feel the
effects of the war- Everything, with the single
exception of the Southern trade, goes on as
| before; and from the losses incurred in that
i trade we have well nigh recovered; The en
, durance, the intelligence, the enterprise of the
North, have already distanced the impetuous
energy of the fiery South; and still these de
luded and deluding politicians imagine that we
are going to be ct exhausted”!
Of course, wo all wish for a vigorous and
relentless prosecution of the war. We wish
to save the enormous expenditure of life and
property that is daily gorng on; we wish to
conquer the South by hard blows, by actual
fighting, so as to end .forever their: foolish 1
braggadocio about their -military superiority.
We are no advocates of the kid-glove or the
anaconda policy; on the contrary, we want to
tee our army sweep .like an avalanche through
the South, exterminating everything that op*
poses Our only Object at present
is to show, by a comparison;of the!present
condition of the North land tho South, that
the schemes of these Northern traitors are
based neither' on common, sense nor truth;
that they are only the vagaries of bigotry,
narrowness, passion, and prejudice. Take
: tliesq wretches on their own ground, and they
are. certain to be defeated.: But they are .so
desperate, and so crazed by their long fasting
from the {f spoils," that, nothing is too humi
liating for .them' to..confess, and nothing too
absurd for them to attempt.
■ Education Here and Elsewhere.
- Great revolutions in . social sentiment
of a people whom God has' blessed with more
than ordinary talent are generally prefaced
by bright and beautiful phenomena, which, to
the thoughtful, are of pleasant appearance,
but to the ignorant and bigoted are like mias-‘
made phantoms—tokens of terror and witch
craft. Wo look upon it that the, people of
Europe are like a great volcanic mountain, the
nature and dangers of whichare not yet known,
yet its nature might bo suspected, from the
fact that from its crater comes an occasional
flash of fire that startles the wicked but encou
rages the good of all nations. ,
An emission of this kind has just occurred
in England, which has had a wonderful im
pression upon that class of leaders in that
country who would fondly hope that democra
cy in Europe is dead, and that it is only ne
cessary to coax the people a little to get them
to attend the funeral m masse. Wc allude to
the public dinner given at Winchester, Eng
land, in honor of the celebration, of the open
ing of «Diocesan Training School for Mas?
ters,” at which the'Prime Minister of England
presided. ■
The teaching of masters, wlio in turn are
to teach the people of England, is attracting :
the attention of great men of that great coun
try, and we find at the meeting above alluded
to such men as Lord-PALMERSTOK, tho Bishops
of Winchester, Oxford, and Salisbury, to
gether with many other eminent statesmen,
politicians, prelates, divines, and citizens, en
couraging this movement by ' their presence,
and advocating indirectly the education of
the masses in such a manner that the London
Times must needs take Lord Paumerston to
task upon the arguments advanced in his last;
post-prandial address;
From the height of hypercriticism the Lon
don Times looks down upon the cunning Pro-'
mier of -England, and pelts him with paper
pellets scented with sophistry, and blackened,
by ink that is made to advocate bad (muses
from the faces of honest types. This newspa
per takes as ian illustration of real happiness
the slaves of the Southern States, and says that
they are happy because of their ignorance,
While their educated masters are striving in a
disgraceful war, brother against brother, be
cause it is the best educated; nation in the
world! We will, of course, pocket this insult,
for education is the guardian of liberty, which
iis akin to Christianity, and in the possession
of these we must be a great people. But,
however.great we may bo, now or heraaftor, we
owe it all to onr efforts to educate the masses,
which opens the eyes of the people to the true
value of liberty and civilization. Lord Pal
merston, away over in England, sees and ap
preciates this, and his recent actions and
speeches in public prove it. Accordingly, he
has given the recognition of the English Go
vernment, with, that of tbe English Church, to:
the cause of educating the masses. May wo
not now look for the birth of a wholesome De-t
mocracy in England which shaUdemand that no
ono shall be disfranchised except ha who can
not read and write ? It may be true, as the
Times remarks, that the education of the poorer
classes in England amounts to but a useless
smattering, which leaves the pupil unable, by
bis attainments in knowledge, to obtain a live
lihood, and it argues;; therefore, that this sys
tem of dispensing knowledge should bo re
placed by a superior one. We trust that the
English people will Sustain Lord Pat.merston
and the Bishops in the opinion that, in the
matter of the education of the masses, « half
a loaf is better than no bread.” We maintain
that if there be genius among the people it
will exhibit itself under the present system;
and it there be wjsdom, it will eagerly asso
ciate itself with the knowledge imparted. This
: last effort of the Times is only another of it*
designing attempts to reduco a great people to
ignorance and superstition once more, that it
may lengthen the life of human tyranny. God
will, in |iis own good time, prove that the
education of the poor people of Lancashire
1 has (Soved a blessing, instead of“a curse,-
as She Times calls it. His Providence
is relieving them now. by private cha
ffy. Work, will* come again, and that
jin time to save them ; and when this hide
ous rebellion is crushed; we stall return to our
former happy condition; we shall see the
triumph of: education that is. so soon to rege
nerate the whole world, and show it the wealth
of knowledge, wisdom, and Christianity.'

The United States vessels in tho neighborhood of Onba :

God. McClellan in his order says: ' '
The finding and sentence of the court are fall; sup
pcrtldby the testimony, and are approved by the major
general commanding. . >
It appears tost on the 4th of October, 1882, the regi
ment of the accnied was encampedhear Hat par’s Ferry;
that the forenoon of the day was passed byjtbe accused
at the h< adquarters or hia brigade, In attendance upon a
court of irqniry on the question of rank between himself
and another officer j; that he’waa then very much intoxi
cated ; that at half past twelve o’clock he left the head
quarters to get hia dinner, the accused claiming to have
received a general permission from his commanding
officer to dine at a house near the camp; that instead of
returning to bhs regiment, he was toned,.late to the after
noon, in the streets of Harper’s Ferry'very drunk, and
engaged in a scendalous qdairel and collision with tne
lieutenant colODtl of hiß own regiment. by|whdm ha was
pulled from his horse and thrown vlolentiy upon the
grouid: that after Sark he was arrested by the provost
guard for being abrent from his camp without a permit,
and was held in emtody until next morning. In the
meantime, at three o’clock F, a., his regiment had been
ordered, and had proceeded, upon a tour.of picket duty.
No comment df the general commanding can add any
force to Ibe above recital of facts.
Ail the members of the court present at the finding
ard sentence recommend a-remission of the sentence,
“ in consideration of the previous good character of 00l ,
Owen, and his distinguished Bervices to the present
war,’ Thia recommendation ia supported by testimony
'of‘the highest character, adduced upon the trial, show
ing that the accused has hesn a zealous and obedient offi
cer. and has dltplayed greatgaSlantry and good conduct
on the Arid of battle. :
The sentence of the court is remitted.
The general commanding treats ihatthe deep humilia

these proceedings must cause the accused will prevent

do the Lincoln empire more damage, at less cost, than

[FOB ADDIWOHAririOCAL HOWS BM JSOV&tS TAV*.\
DonSGS OP THS SpiBITUALISTS ON
6UNDAT.—To be moved by the Spirit is perhaps a not
unpleasorable sensation, when it lies within the line of
duty, and when tbe mind is held in a Quiescent state for
the due reception and operation of the afflatus. The
•Friends are very meek and mild in their mode of submis
sion to this process, and the Spiritualists, tn many cases,
are not less eo. It is not, surely, to be reckoned a
penahoeto sit bolt upright .on a backless benoh for so
many minutes and hours, invoking the Spirit by twirling
. the ttmmbs, and then uttering inspiration through the
nose more than the month. To be subject to seizare,
however, at any moment, to have not only the operations
cf the mind but the functions of the body servilely de
pendent upon the despotism of those ethereal, imponder
ruble creations,termed spirits, is what the majority of
common-sense people will not bargain for in these com
mon-sensedays.' Happing, tipping, (we had almost said
tippling,) speaking, Binging, writing, and walking me-
diums, have been regarded by some “extremist,” as
evincing only strange developments'of bodily disease.
If they are possessed by any spirits, it must be ardent
spirits; if by any saint, it mnst be St. Vitos.
All Saints’day is a festival In honor or all the angels
and saints in heaven, observed* in ■ Boman Catholic
churches on November Ist, and also in the Protestant
JSpiseopal and Lutheran churches. It was observed tn
theSpirltual lecture room, on Brindav last, at least wo pre
sume so, ftom the style in which the leoturess opened the
meeting, by invoking all the spirits on whioh she conld
lay her hands. To be commonplace, (which is some
times necetoary on commonplace subjects,) the spirit cf
this, tne epirit of that, and the spirit of t’other, were
severally invoked, aid from the allusions subsequently
made to Greek mythology, we presume I.s fables had.
something to do with suggesting such a preponderance of
lesser divinities
The hour of commencement was announced as half
past tor o’clock. Whatever is worth having, however,
is worth waiting for, and consequently we wailed until
a few minutes before eleven, when the lady made her ap
pearance. Between one and two hundred people half
filled the room. The audience was composed of the he
torogeneous mass which only such an audieuca can be
composed of. The green wall reflected a stokly light ovor
tto platform and the auditory. A lew subdued-looking
; females, very spiritual no doubt, (though not at aU spin.
iucllt, judgiog from appearances, at least,) were wan
dtrins pnrposelessly to and fro—walking mediumi, no
doubt. A gentleman hot very far from us, of groat spu
tatory propensities,-seemed inclined to make a spittoon
of bis neighbor’s hat ; another was reading the ’Sunday
paper, and still another was consoling his “hope deter
red” with tired nature’s sweet restorer, and a fresh Quid
of tsbacoo.
The exercises commenced by the president of the
meeting calling attention to a spectacle base, or a pair
of spectacles, or something of that sort, which had been
lost, and giving but where it could be found. The,
“ priestess of the hour,” so styled by herself and audi
tory, then arose and commenced her Incantations—open
ing prayer, we should say. She was very neatly dressed,
in blue silk or satin, we can’t say which. A lace collar
was confined by a plain brooch, and white cuffs confined
the tight sleeves at the wrist. Her hair, whioh is a dis
tant relation to auburn, was plainly dressed; her fea
tures, rather florid in complexion, , were eminently com
posed and striking. . The eye, colorless and cold, was yet
intelligent,. and the teeth, beautifully white and promi
nent,; attracted onr attention involuntarily all through
the discourse. The lady Is rather above the average
height of womanhood, of somewhat m a*, offline build.
The voice, harsh and unpleasant, becomes by degrees,
through the eleQUence of thought arid gesticulation,
almost grateful to the ear, The ; enunciation was very
clear; the pronunciation was, in the main, excellent.
Grammar, rhetoric, mid logic, have plainly been attended
to in the education of this: leotnress, at least. The ges
tures, seemingly unstudied, produced all the offsot which
should result' from careful study. The hands were ra
ther large, and seemed triore fit to wave a standard than
to toy with the delicate handkerchief they held. If she
had rolled he.- r’s a little less, and not pronounced
“ years” “ yurs,” we should have bad no obubs to rjua
lify these remarks.. ■
.The lecturees having armed herself with all the armor
of the spiritual host, then procteded with her remarks.
These were really more common sense than many of onr
readers perhaps will be prepared to think. There was
actually argument attempted, and we are but just in say
ingfthst sentences here and there wefe truly poetical.
The subject, the regeneration of the Government, the
“new heaven and the new earth,” in the governmental
universe, offered a very good chance for the display of
patriotic emotion. Politics versus' principle, party
against patriotism, were considered In their respective
bearings.
The forcible looks, tones, and gestures of the leotnress,
coupled with sentiments which were as trite as they were
true, produced slight manifestations of applause. We
are positively certain if we saw one foot stamp we saw
six, tod our calculations load cs to the conclusion that
any sitting near would, if not deaf, have certainly heard
theconouedon. The priestess of the hour presented
certain trtwns for the consideration' of the audience.
They were. spiriluatiatg— they were termed Infidels by
the world; but they were the thinkers of the present
era. Before twelve moons sionld roll over their heads
they would be—moonstruck we thought she was going
to say—they would be sensible that a change was at hand
in government and in religion. Allnsfon was here made
to the various developments' of science and art, the buoys
tf human intelligence. ,
f Physics and metaphysics, nnits and centrales, ceatri-
rrefale and centrifugals, and all the otherjgals—buoys we
mean—werebronght upan the carpet and dished up in
fine etyle. The few pretenders to soientifio acquisition,
who were preserit.iloubtleßß felt, to'uae the language or a
cottmporary, “ gay and festive,” at so clear an expo i
tion of the eternal and immutable principles of truth,
and when the lectufesa made her closing appeal and
again called upon the spirits to plant in each heart the
grain ofwbeat ahe, the priestess ofthe hour, had present
ed, the ignorant and the unbelieving who were present
frit themselves like chaff blown away in the wind-up of
her discourse. Hot that they thought she was chaffing ,
them, however. 1 ' '
A little old mm, whose name we don’t know and did
not put oursriyeß in the way or out of the way te dis
cover, here arose from a capacious arm-chair, in whose
dreamy depths he haa been enveloped from the com
mencement to the peroration of the argument. The gen
tleman must excuse ns for having mistaken hi® for a
—jd sized overcoat, worn vfhjtp at the back; or f atlsast,
for the duster of the fair Oxkorter. We Were quit!
startled at the Budden resurrection, and our faith became
sorely tried at, the Bppoaraßca of eo venerable an appa
rition.' ■ ■ ■ ■ .
Like most spiritual communications, .tbs prerent one
was very matter-of-fact.- The little, old man, was very
acute-looking, however obtuse his; perceptions may have:
been. ; A notice was given .that a conference meeting
would be held at : two and a half o’clock- Somebody’s
perceptions must have wanted brightening. The only
conference meeting we could discover waa that held by
three boys playing leap todg. The spirits doubtless
moved.one of. them, and the others ascended the motion.
On inquiry, wb learned that they wore leap-frogging
mediums, disappointed, - like ourselves, in finding no
meeting open. The lb|t conference, was excaiienUyat
tenio’, there being at least twanty present in all..
the etenixg’s EHTERTAINMEHT.
The evening session was"annonneed to begin at 7 %
o’clock : and at 7jf the lad; lecturer entered the lectnre
! rcotfl, and reconced herself in the little wooden cup
; board Ok .dressing-room on the west: Bide of the stage.
The audience jras proit7 good, considering, pad number -
; ed, perhaps, three hundred—more or less. * The platform
, waa occupied by about thirty ladies and gentlemen. Two
ofthe totter, who probably Buffers! from colds Sn the
head, kept' their hate on, evincing at once a respect for
, their own health and a respect for the-lecturem
aid her audience. The latter, like every'audience,
was one ofextreme variety. Thore were old men
■ and women, and young men and women; there were
boys and- girlß; you tha with imbecile eyea.and:mnffia
complexions; school-girls, with Impudent little turn-up
noses, and aaircy twinklings and twlrlings of lips and
shoulders; matioßß, the personification of propriety
middle aged men- with square foreheads and deep-set
eyes, looking ae though they had made up their minds to
it; these, and fifty others; whieh we might mention,
were there not an editorial edict limiting locals, com
posed the majority of the intellectual assembly. ?
A gentleman with iron-gray bnahy whiskers inquired
if the gentleman who sang in the morning was present.
Silence superseded, and the conclusion being that he
was net present, the assembly recommenced its buzz of
small talk, and enjoyed in a sober way a gay tod
happy time. A gentleman next ns “ wondered when
j she would come out,” and expected and expectorated in
the same breath. The gentleman who In the morning
had been devoted to the Sunday paper was yet perusing
his hebdomdal. We counted thirteen people sn the
back rew who were in different degrees' of, snooze. ;
In about five minutes, however, our observations in
this direction were cut short by the leoturess making
her appearance. The doorway being blocked up by the
spiritual dead-heads on the platform, she experienced
gome difficulty in her entree, but yet preserved the not
ungraceful self-possession which lends a pleasing atti
tude to her every motion. The lady commenced with
the chapter of Ezekiel having reference to the dry bones.
Her subject was the signs of the times in reference tj re
ligion. As in the morning lecture, no notes nor manu
- scripts of an y kind wore UBOd : With the.tolffposssssion
of talent, the lady confronted her audience, and no
one would be to foolish as to declare, or wish to de- '
clare, that she declaimed otherwise than well. A
clearly defined method, however, was not to us per
ceptible Buddha, and Zoroaster, and Confucius, and
bo forlb, were touched upon. The colors of the picture
were as brilliant as those of the Aztec portraiture,
but, unlike them, conveyed no definite meaning. Allu
sion was made to postage currency, and however con
nection was established link by link, we protest we shall
never be able'to understand. Specie was as much the
subject of discussion as tpecies, and the term “heavy
artillery,” mysteriously interpolated every nowand then,
will he a matter of myetery to us to the day of our
death. Admiesion is five cents, and every one disbur
sing this amount for that purpose will receive the worth"
of bit m mey, in quantity If not in qnallty. The lecture:,
was one honr and twenty minntes long. Thanextsub
ject will be the “ Signs of the Times," In reference to
'science mid spiritualism.
Tb» criticisms of the audience we re various and amu
’sing. As vre passed out we heard one "youth pronbuace
the lecture “bully the young girls thought It was fine,.
and the mothers voted ft splendidr A few weak-minded,'
'eynlcaliwretcbea could find no sense 'ak all In tho die
course, and we actually heard one depraved character
; remark that the lectnress onght to he “ boxed up” and'
sent South. As the lady is not aU'favorably disnosedto
the continuance oi the present war, it is not unlikely she
would meet with, a warm reception in less temperate lo
calities. The temperature of the. climate woull accord
with that of her diecussion. ' r "

tre ; In the article in your local column under the
caption of “ Heavy forgeries in the interior of the

Beth L, King & Sons, Broadway, New York, and Hake

McAllister, Bale, & Co., bankers, at Bellefonte. a drift
for SI.ICO, which was cashed.” Whatever; else this
gentleman may have done in this region, and we observe
that he has had dealings with several neighboring banks,
we are pleased to say that we were not favored with an
opportunity of buying any of his drafts—her are wo
aware that we bad a transaction of any description with
him. Beepectfu’.ly yours. Ac., ;

THE BRAVE OP CHARLES LAMB.—The London
Sstmday Evening Mtview has the following: In the
churchyard of Edmonton the inquiring traveller may,
after considerable eearcb, find the grave of Charles and
Mary Lamb. The churchyard 1b large, and has an air of
neglect and desolation, and one of the most neglected
paits of it is the grave of the man whose memory gives
the whole Beene an interest The grave is a little way
beck from a side-path, and la overgrown with nettles
and long grass, while over it towers a hideous erec
tion of the fluted; order of. village architecture, de
signed to perpetuate the feme of a certain Gideon Blp
pon, of Eagle House. On the tombstone, between the
dates recording that Charles Lamb died Deo. 27,1834,
1 aged 69, and that Mary Anne Lamb- died May 20, 1847,
aged 80 years, are inserted twelve of the very worst verses
that the ingenuity of friend* could have Btruok ont.
In Ibe beautiful and touching lines In whloh Words
worth sketched the character and the history of his
friend he tells us that he meant the earlier portion of the
piece to be placed on Lamb’s tombstone, but that other
arrangements had been made. The visitor to Edmonton
mey see what was the effusion. that was preferred to
' Wordsworth’*, It begins by declaring that Lamb’e meek
and haimiees mirth “no more shall gladden our domestic
hearth.” Itgoes on to assure the deceased that he lsnot
at ell all lost, and that his writings shall “ win many an
English bosom pleased to Bee that old and happier vein
revived in thee.” Everything is in a sort of rude har
mony—the nettles, the shrine of Gideon Bippon, and the
doggerel. We go ont to see the grave of one of the most
charming and original English writers of the nineteenth
century, and we find a bank of weeds and a snperemlnent
mass of; stone stucco in honor of a bank clerk, and a set
;of verses for which the schoolboy of Lord Macaulay’s
'Essays would have been severely flogged.
