The lecture of Miss Anna E. Dickinson, in Farrar Hall, on Monday evenini,• was well attended. many persons being pren ent from the neighboring towns, and even from other counties. Her subject. "Home Thruste r ; or Marrying and Giving in Marriage," was one that afforded ample scope for her qualities as a lecturer, and was treated in a very interesting manner. She did not spare the errors and follies of her own sex, any less than those of the men, but let loose her sarcasm at random, without seeming tagare where it hit. We must do Miss Dickinson the justice to say that she spoke more sober, oommon sense on this ()cession than we have heard upon our lecture board for a number of years. If she ware to discard the snappish little expressions with which. she so freely in tersperses her discourses, and confine her self to the legitimate treatment of her subject, she would receive less applause, probably, but be- more widely respected and exert a better influence. The secret of Miss D.'s popularity as an orator, we think, lies more in the pecu liarity with which she treats her subjects, and the novelty arising from her sex, than from any particular merit es a speaker. It is true that her voice, from its coarse ness, is better adapted to public speaking than most females, but there is a sonor ousness in it, and a lack of graceful man ner, that render her anything but a model orator. She seems, too, to talk at random, without arrangement of her ideal, and her arguments have an inoompleteeess that in a man would be called weakness. She, however, possesses undoubted cour age and independence, is well acquainted with the springs of human passion, is honest in what she expresses, and believes herself to )fie an instrument of -reform ; and these qualities, shrewdly made use of, never fail to obtain notoriety of one sort or another. At any period previous to the year 1861, she would have been scouted at and spurned by nine-tenths of those who now worship her ; with the seutiments that have gained sway since then, and the present constitution of "so ciety," she may retain her popularity for years. The following abstract of her lee. tuns, though necessarily incomplete, will give our readers a fair idea of her views upon the subject of matrimony: ' If there was ever a need of reform, it is in regard to the matter of the training and the education of young girls, looking forward to what is popularly denominated a settlement in life. This expression has been so universally used that it has now become a by-word, and the people use it without seeing that it ,is an insult end outrage to women everywhere. Woman cannot be settled, fixed, and established until she can tie fast and anchor. From the earliest time upward, the woman of the present day is taught that the one end of her life is marriage—the one hap piness and ambition of her life marriage ; the only opportunity to be or to do any thing, =image ; the only sphere in which she can develop her powers or be of ser vice to herself or others, marriage ; every where and by everybody she is advised to get a husband. The boy on the other hand is educated foe manhood ; he is to go, to through his sohool.life and cony.; he is to choose his trade, business, pro. feuion or calling ; he is to earn money and make for himself a home. And then, having educated himself, and having got a home, society says to him : " Take a wife," to help spend the money, and to be a useful and ornamental appendage of twat home. The man is educated, not for husbandhood, but for manhood ; and why is the woman not educated for woman hood? There are many evils that arise to both maim from . in difference in their edu . catiop. th e fi rst placa , makes the 'girl deceitful. Perhaps they are not themselves conscious of it, but a woman cannot now be simple and unaffected with an unmarried man about her. This breaks up the right and rational intercourse of the young men and women. There are many cases in which good might ensue to both sexes by simple, filesehip without rove; but as things now stand, simple friendship between them is impossible ! The women, therefore, become indifferent te.books,, to mental culture, to the culti vtation of their.own nobler aspirations, to everything hut marriage. Bat some will say, therein no necessity to become learned and philoeophers; let them wash and scrub, and bake and iron. These are very good things, and she was only sorry that they are not more thought of • but they could be done as well, and getter, if the girls possessed a thorough and liberal edu cation. As to the accomplishments which were now taught females, they were not educa tion—they were only bestowed to enhance her price in the market, and were not in tended to be of any great valise after the bargain had been concluded. But some will say that woman has been made by the Great Artifkwir, smaller and weaker, shal lower in brain, and mind, and intellect than man, and that it wou'd be absurd to attempt to teach her in two or three years what men only imperfectly learn in ten. Well, if society, if the world, were only pleased with the result of the work of its two hands ; if it liked and complimented the same women as it makes them, she, as * woman, might put her finger on her lips and keep silence. But it is not *2.. So ciety sneers, and taunts, and insults the woman to whom it has refueled the means of improvement. " Emery day," she said, " I shrink, shudder and cower at the in sults heaped upon my sex— first, in what society makes them; and secondly, in the taunts and insults thrown upon them. It may be that God Almighty made women weak and shallow, and frivolous and vain ; but, if so. it was only to match the men." If, indeed, women are inferior to men, still, she asked, that a chance be given them. to decide the point. Women have never yet been permitted 'to have , the Yale opportunities as their br Ahem ' Miss Dickinson then proceeded td re. view the various- other pleas advanced against the equal' , education of the sexes. She said it was not necessary that women should be able to stand side by side with men. in any avenue of life, bit it was necessary for the interest and well being of both that she might be able to sympathise with the labor and, work of the man. At present they took-the souls and intellect ; and inspiration of woman, and treated them as you, treat an acorn, by putting it in a flower-pot and prevention its growth by every poesib'e contrivance lest it should break the flower-pt.-7 Women were constantly driven to sin by *heir thus being unfitted for the higher spheres of being. Probably the iglief reason of the hardness, and injustioe and cruelty of women, the one to the other, might be found in the feet that they are taught to regard marriage mitt* great aim of their life. They are brought to an overcrowded market, and were forced to sell their own wares by undervaluing their neighbors. Mini Dickinson then adverted at some leigth to the proposed immigra tion of seven hundred Massachusetts women to Washington Territory, to ob taro husbands, and stated that she seri ously apprehended that evil only would ensue from the expedition. On the West ern coast there were no mills or cities, or any other sphere of employment for women, and the only chance, she feared, on reaching their destination, would be to get married within forty-eight hours after their arrival to any brute of a man that would offer himself. Some of her remarks on this point were quite as much lacking in dignity as delicacy. She con cluded her lecture by an appeal to society. to all men and women of influence and power, to unite in extending au equal punishment in respect to the "social evil" to both men and women. As things stood, by one offense the woman removed herself from all hope of again treading in the paths of purity and happiness. She was an outcast and abandoned, and De repent ant* could atone for her fault. The man was, however, in no way prejudiced by having committed a few indiscretions Indeed, by some, even by some women, he was thought all the more eligible and desirable as a husband, on that very ac count. She called upon all the just and righteous to change this cruel and wicked difference in judgment. I Miss Dickinson's unceasing labors in the lecture field are wearing upon her rapidly. Her form is becoming • bowed down as if with the weight of a heavy burden, and she no longer wears the freshness upon her countenance that she did on her first appearance in public. In short, she is becoming horribly homely, and we greatly fear that unless she " gets a man" soon, it will be her tate to do without one altogether, unless she should conclude to accept the offer of the senti mental young chap whose letter she some what indelicately and sarcastically des o(ibed. THE REPIRRMANTATIVZ NAM. The Albany Journal speaks very disre. spectrally of Senator Sumner, as it has frequently done of Thad. Stevens. It de nies with great earnestness that these men are representatives of what it is pleased to style the "Union" party—meaning - the organization that elected Libcoln and Johnson. On•the contrary, it denounces them is "deitructivists," and says: "The great heart of the people is yearn ing for established union and fraternity. And as it becomes manifest that the de sign of these extreme leaders is not to strengthen the Government by legitimate measures, but to gratify a vengeful•and malignant passion which looks to the ab solute ruin of hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens, they and their dogmas will be repudiated with a decision worthy of a generous nation." Will the %Moinel have the kindness to inform us who are the representatives of the "Union" party in Congress and ouq of it ? If stevens, who commands one hund red and twenty votes in the House, after his insulting speech, is not the leader,Whe is entitled to that distinction ? Is the man Henry J. Raymond, who was able, after an eloquent speech in support of the Pres ident's policy of- restoration, te detach only three votes from Abe " deitructiv iota!" No party was ever more thorough ly a unit in support of the measures of its leaders, than are the so-called Republi cans in voting for the resolutions and con stitutional amendments brought forward by Mr. Stevens. It as equally true that the design of Stevens and his one hundred and twenty supporters "is not tostrength en the Government by- legitimate meas ures, but to gratify a vengeful and malig nant passion which looks to the absolute ruin of hundreds and thousands of our fellow citizens." It follows logically, as well as in fact, that the " destructivists " or disunionist. are the political enemies, not only of the President, but of the masses of the ,people whose hearts are "yearning for established union and fra teinity."—Buffele Courier. OTSVONS ON TON RAMPAGE. The speech of Thad. Stevens, of Penn sylvania, who closed the debate on the new constitutional amendment, on Wed nesday of last week, was entirely chats° teristic of that man and of his party. The Rouse had just contemptuously sent back to the Reconstruction CotanOtee the res olution which Stevens had offered; but. with the impudence peculiar to his nature, he immediately reported the same resolu tion again, having modified it by striking out a oouple of words which did not of feet the suffrage issue, and thereupon de manded the previous question. The Re publican members,quaking in their shoes at the ire of the Pennsylvania Mephisto pheles, did not dare to object to allow him to report, and his imperious demand for the previous question wee seconded by, a vote of seventy-three to forty-nine. Tbis gave Stevens the opportunity to make a speech to which nobody had the right to reply, and he instantly availed himself of his aivantage. Almost ignoring the sub ject under consideration by the House, he commenced a Tong riXmarole of abuse of President Johnson, denunciation of-the Southern citizen, of the United States, and sneers and gibes at such conservative Republicans as Mr. Raymond of New York. To the President he insultingly referred as "that man at the other end of the Ave nue!' and to Mr. Raymond as "his little friend from New York ;" but the Speaker refrained from calling him ,to order, and the other memberr. too oniardly to insist that he should confine himself to parlia mentary language, tried to conceal their chagrin by silly laughter at this insolence, impoliteness and brutalilz. Forgetting that, under a British king, a few years ago, he would bare been hung as a traitor, he threatened the President r with amid: nation (Or 'hating expressed an opinion upon the expediency of constitutional amendments. declaring that "such con duct en the part'Of a British king, a few years,ago; would have colt that king his treed."., The 'emasculated reports of ttiii Press do scant jtuttioe, to the velunnent, bitter, revolu • •kargrable,. discon! . pentad, unp 'f'aid insane ha rangue of thia• . conspirator; but '!vett . the brief ,notiailrhich have reached as show that it• was the most disyloeful speech ever delivered is an American Ciogreste--Ar. F. Rani ilia PItiSIDUNT AND ale SODA All our leading exchanges concur in the belief that the recent assault of Thad deus Stevens upon President Johnson is neither more nor less than a declarat ion of hostility on the' part of the ultraists of both Houses of Congress against the policy and person of. the President. • This being the obvious fact, the people will find It necessary to take aides in the controversy thus renderedinevitable by the unreason able and unrestrained malignity of the radicals. That Mr. Johnson will be sus tained in all judicious measures for the pacification of the country by an ,over whelming public sentiment is beyond all question. And if his firmness shall be found equal to the demands of the great emergency, it is safe to predict that his assailants will soon be prostrated as in the dust. It will soon be known who, are in favor of the Union and the blessings of -Peace, and who are against Constitutional Liberty and the rights of the People and of the States. If the-President is in earn est, as we believe be is, be will no longer tolerate, either in his Cabinet or in any other important official position,' those who affiliate withlanch as threaten his im peachment and labor for his overthrow,— The issue being made, let the contest begin.—M,Antd Plain Dealer. 46 The Haunted House." I The extraordinary amount of gossip which has been occasioned In the city, osier the re ported existence of a "haunted" house within our midst, led us, at the commencement of last week, to institute come inquiries on the subject, with a view to unraveling the mys tery, if any existed. At first we were incred ulous, regarding the story is a mere idle rumor, or the freak of a hungry local editor's imagination, but after some considerable of fort In the pursuit of knowledge, and tikes expense of much valuable time, we succeeded in.finding anindividual possessing the coveted information, who disabused us of all doubts of the actual existence of the phenomena represented. He was not disposed at the start to be communicative, but after plying him with all the skill at our command, be finally opened the flood gates of his mind, and made a clean Sreast of the whole matter. A neighbor of the gentleman owning the 44 haunted " property, he had been apprised shout three months ago of the mysterious occurrences, and ealled-upon to Witness them, in company with his wife. The manifests Hens made a great impression upon the minds of all, and at first they were resolved to make a public exposition of the same, with a view of obtaining more thorough investigation, but refleetleg upon the dec'rease in the value of their property that would be occasioned thereby, they concluded to keep the matter entirely secret. Since then, our informant has disposed of his promisee, adjoining the 1 , haunted " house, and be presumes the secret, has leaked out through the parties who followed him in occupancy. We learned from him that the gentleman who owns the unfortunate property is a per. sea of some means, and that the present is his second wife, The relations between him and his first wife were of an unpleasant na ture, and she was frequently in the habit. of declaring that the money she brought to him would not be of much benefit. She was especially tormented with the thought that in case of her death he might take a second wife, and on her dying bed frequently threat. rued that If he did, and she could fa any manner Tatum, to make their wedded life un happy, it would be the height of her gratifi cation. Her threats were soon forgotten by him, and when he entered a second time into married bliss no thought of them entered his mind. Oa the very first day upon which the new wife was • installed into -the house, the maalfestations commenced, and they have since been continued with increasing violence every night. The second lady is tally in formed silo the circumstances of the former marriage, and although for a time alarmed, she now declares with a true woman's spirit, that no first wife's ghost shall frighten her out of her senses, much lees cause her to abandon a house to which she has as much legal right as the other one ever had. Oa our expressing a desire to visit the house, the gentleman positively refused to accompany us thither Ile said the residents had an intense dread of the location becoming public, and were extremely annoyed at the ecconnts which had appeared in a local co. temporary. We pressed the matter, however. with 'great nrgencry, and eventually induced him to agree to see the owner, whom we shall gall Hr. X. in future, and ask his consent.,-- Departing on his mission, in ten or twenty minutes, he returned with the latter, evidently not in the best of humor. On mentioning our desire, kr. X. grew quite angry, declared that he wished people would let him alone, said he didn't want his private affairs to be made a subject of newspaper comment, and closed by plumply refining to greet our request. We argued the question in the best manner we could summon up, and soon had the satisfac tion of seeing his angry passions subside. - It was not long until our appeals had the wished for effect, and en agreement was made, that, for the better astisfaction of our own mind, sidle order that are might have credible wit nesses to any statement we might choose to write, two editorial friends, then on visit to the city, should accompany us. The letter were only a few doors beyOnd the house of our meeting, and on imparting to them the object intended they were eager to make the visit. When we were on the point of start ing,. Mr. IL 'seemed absorbed in deep thought, ones or twice stepped to the door and as often returned, and finally sitting down, said : "Gentlemen, this is for me a matter of ex. trams delicacy. I wouldn't, for all that lam worth, have it known where my house is sit uated. The whole city is talking about the matter now, end it makes my wife so nervous I dread serious results. You are all gentle men of honor, I - know, but before we go anj further I must make one imperative demand of you." We looked him anxiously in the fags, but no onetime proper to speak. 4 , It is that each of you:takes a solemn oath, never, under tiny circumstances, to reveal my name 'in this connection; or the situation of my resi dence." Our curiosity- to see the object of our search, induced as to give a prompt assent to this proposal. :- Drawing out the stand into' the centre of the room, and asking all to lay, their hands on the - holy volume lying upon it, he then solemnly administered to us the re-, gaited oath, be a vole, and manner as impres sive as IY the issue of life or death was at 140. Odd, end perhaps ridieslous se the . proceedings may appear to others, they were to ill there present fall of sane d the covenant thus strangely agreed to will serer' be broken. The gownsman -to whom we first alluded did sot ears about accompanying us, and the party of four rapidly walked towards the point of curiosity. When we were near our jimmy's . sad,: Mr. X. remarked that, is a visit at that thus of night from three editorial gentlemen,. 000 of whom was knowetto nearly every person in the city, light be noticed by passers by. and provoke Come commint, it would probably be better tor us to slip in by the bask wey. Ws were sooerdingliushered Into the ltiteben, and from there into the par. Ice. Mr. X. stepped outto silt his wife, and during his absence we employed ourselves in ldoking about the room. It is a plainly furn ished, but very neat apartment, costaining besides a piano, the usual aseertment of. sofas, small tables, rocking, plain and easy chairs, portraits, dc. On the walls are oil paintings of Mr. X.'s first wife, and his' fwd . deceased children, engravings of Washington, Jackson and Lincoln, and a number of pho tographs. A large mirror hangs between the two front windows, directly opposite a door opening into a small side room, which was wide' open. Oa Mr. X's return he informed no that his wife had retired, bat would appear shortly. During the interval he statedthat the mann citations were attained mainly tot e par. lor and side room, that they only Ise reed in the evening, generally after nine o'el ok, and only when his second wife was in t e room The lady of the hone. made her a seance just as he concluded, and we found h r to be a rather tidy looking, well preserved woman of probably thirty fire years. She greeted us in a cordial manner, and did not seem to be alarmed in the slightest. During our brief convereatiou, we did not notice any eminence of interest in the ream, but on resuming cur seat', one of the party called our attention to the portrait of the de• cc Reed wife. It had turned completely around, and instead of presenting its face .to the room, the back of the - picture was to wards ns, end the wee!e frame was quivering and moving like a human being in an ex tremely nervous condition. •The heretofore incredulous faces of the 'haters assumed an entirely different cut. The lady- simply smiled, and remarking that this was the usual manner in which the demonstrations cow menced, said they had become so accustomed to her that she scarcely noticed them say more. She had no more than-uttered the re mark than the door leading into• the small side room slanitsed shut as with' a violent effort. The writer root and tuzdertook to open the door, but it seemed as it some one was standing with his back against it, and although we exerted all our .strength in the effort., our attempt use unsuccessful: Al loon as we de sisted,. and started • for our lest, the door sprung open with the same violence as it had An the visitors instantly went into the room, and searched it to see if any one could be in it, but we found no person, and as there wait no ether mesas of outlet than the door to the parlor, it was impossible for any in dividual to have been there and escaped. On our return to the parlor, a still more curious : event occurred. The portrait of Washington deliberately lifted itself off the hook upon which it was suspended and glided to the floor, where it stood in an erect pcsition.— That of Jackson tollowed instantly, while that of Lincoln remained in its place, turning and twisting as if in fearful agony. In a few Minutes the two pictures left their situa tions on the floor and resumed their places upon the wall, where they remained without any further manifestations... Our hest re marked that this was the first occurrence of the kind he had ever whitened, and we pre sume the exhibition was designed for the .special benefit of the editorial visitors.— During these proceedings others of a singular nature were going on. The photographs were rocking to and fro, in a deliberate manner, and low, rumbling sounds were beard from the ceiling, as if a cannon ball had been rolled over the floor above.v Voices, like as animated female discussion, "were heard from the small room, occasionally_ interspersed with the cries of a child. The piano sud denly emitted a coarse thumping sound, and at intervals _scraps . ef familiar old nursery tunes would be played' in a discordant sort of manner. One of the gentlemen remarked that we bad net yet been treated to soy move ment of the furniture. The words had not more than left his lips, when the piano started with a slew, limping motion towards him. The sofa on which the writer was seated, being en wheels, darted towards the other side of the room with great rapidity, striking against the I well with a concussion that almost knocked him over. The small tables danced a jig into the middle of the floor, scattering the articles upon them in every direction, and the chairs quietly participated. The ottoman turned upon its bank and executed a number of en. none gymnastic feats, then leaped to the ceil ing and hung suspended there during the balance of our stay. One of the party hap pening to glance towards the window uttered an exclamation of surprise- and called our attention towards it. We - could perceive nothing, but he declared that the fate of a female had distinctly appeared before him, looking into the room . with a noun Immo expressive of the utmost interest and anger. As the shutters were closed, it was not possible that any person could have been watching our proceedings from the street,— The noise of the piano, the rattling and thumping elsewhere, and the action of the furniture ceased, and the strangest thing of all took place. In the adjoining mint we die. tinotly heard the steps ef some one walking, and to satisfy ourselves still further are again made an investigation of the apartment, with the same result as before. The sounds ceased during our search, but as seen as we resumed our seats they were repeated. accompanied by the rustling of a woman's gown. One of the company who sat opposite the mirror, ex claimed—" Look there," and all of us taking our position beside hint; we could plainly ob serve the indistinct shadow of a female form walking te and fro in the little room, with a child in her arms. She passed back and forth probably half a dozen; times, when, as if just disoovering that she was observed, she quickly stepped, stood opposite the glees for a moment, Made a merement of an angry nature, and each gentleman felt a sharp slip upon hie face, as if from , the hand of an irritated fe male. We again went into the, room, and fouid that the' bed bad been elir,htly dig turbed, the blankets being thrown back, and a alight indentation appearing on the pillow and mattress, as if a child bad been 'despise 'there. Mr. X. here said that it wu nil likely we would see anything further et .intere t, as the shadow in the glans usually betokened the close of the spiritual exhibition. He informed • us that the occurrent's, sometimes extended to the hall end stairway, but no other portion of the house was distirbed. During all these proceeding; Mrs. X. remained entirely undis turbed, looking on with an inpreeston upon her countenance that denoted:utter fearless-, sees. Her resolute spirit wen upon tie ad.. miration of the visitors, and they agrettliat, whatever else she may be, she surely pOsinss. see more than ordinary pluck and,detannins. Lien. In eteavenntien, we fiend her to be quite intelligent, and determined to stand by her husband at every hazard. She stated that at first the manifestations alarmed her, but re. footing that no shoot, had ever bees knows SO estiOnsly bars! sagpers, she s mon tom, tooted herself to the proceedings, and now looks upon them with suprime indifference. We remained a half hour longer, huts° ether noteworthy features being observed. ormolu. ded that the entertainment was closed for the evening, mod proceeded_ to take our depsr• titre. As vs stood. in the hall, the sound of focrateps descending the stairs was heard, but no furm was observed. Presently a dim. shadowy female figure brushed by us with the rapidity of lightning, and darted into the parlor. It was; close that we could plainly feet the rustle of gement , touching our legs, and produced,a sensation that was anything but agreeable. As soon as our ogitittien was over we followed it into the parlor aid bedrooin, but nothing could be discerned. A peculiar, hazy sort of atmos phere pervaded the apartment, and there was a dish! odor such as accompanies dead bodies lathe furthest stages of:putrefaction. It was evident from the impatience of our Meads to be going that they were not in a • mood to wait to see more, and very much against our will, for we were anxious to se cure a complete levestiguitm, we submitted to their desire to_ take our departure. The Court Rouse clock struck one just as we left the front door of the mysterious house, and we wended our way to Brown's Betel, where our friends were stopping, slowly and thought. fuay. The strange greets of the evening had made a deep impression upon etch of us, and when we reaehed the room, we sat down and entered into a long. minute and earnest review of the remarkable entailments that had taken place I. oar presence. There war not a believer in the supernatural among the trio, yet it was unanimously voted that the oc currences could havelno other foundation then in some power beyond theopreoent knowledge of man. The more we reflected tie more we became puisled, until, completely exhausted, and with mingled emotions of doubt, belief, terror and courage, we each betook ourselves to our separate aparegtents to seek relief in sleep. We know net what may have been thee:n*66lmo of the others, but it they ob tained no more rest than we did they could not have felt much the better for it. Even as we write, at this late day, the wonderful experience of that eventful evening rises up before as as vividly as if it transpired but yesterdey, and almost nuaerves us for the task. We can hardly realise that it was aught than a horrible dream, and were it not that others accompanied us, saw what we did, felt as we felt, and often recur to it in their con. versation, we could not, with all our senses keenly assuring us of its 'tern reality, i look upon it in any' ether view. Others will read this faithful but incomplete narrative with widely different feelings—eow e will scout it and ridicule it—but let the effect be what it may, the startling novelty and mystery of the occasion must ever remain impressed upon on memory, as the strangest, most exciting an inexplicable event that has ever come ii,i wit n our experience. II ooncluding, we desire to repeat our re mark of last week, that, in order to avoid the annoyance of innumerab!, inquiries, we must refuse to give any verbal statements on the subject. Our account is as complete as our limited apace will enable us to make it, and if we undertook to answer a mere tithe of the questions our acquaintances will be tempted to ask of no, we should have to abandon bus iness altogether.
