I once called on a neighbor, says Old t

To gintify, our readers 'with a.little, of every

these deminiltrations are as much a mystery as ev
er-Lthepretended discovery of the toes and knee
joint theories by the Buffalo Doctors to the contra
ry notwithstanding. It should be borne in mind
I that these persons who are called "mediums," in
whose presence the nippings occur, utterly deny
and disclaim any.agency in producing the noises,
or any knowledge of whence they proceed. They
also deny tiny knowledge of the questions put (fre
quently in writing aside friam,tliem,) or respousi
bility for the answers obtained. If, therefore, in
the Divine economy, such communications with the
spirit world/ are ordered for this period of the
world.. as slime believe, it is a part of the woo
der why the presence of these particular persons
as mediums is required at all. Without offering
any opinion of our .pwn upon what we -know no
thing, we give the letter as we ftnd it. •

Spiritual Manifestations. -
Mu.f..nrroa: My attention was called to the sub
ject
et:Spiritual Manifestatipna nine. months since,
while a skeptic, Which I continued to be.until I bad
several opportunities for investigation. For the
last two months the youngest of the Ftix family—a
girl 14 Seats oi agt—has resided in my family.—
During this tune I have investigated daily, some
`:roes alone and sometime. with my family, and
with a great many others who have sought the op
portunity to do so. Several gentlemen of moral
and religious standing united with me for investi
gation and instruction. For this purpose- we hive
met once a week, with a few exceptions, at a place
of our own choice, and generally alone with Miss
Fox.. On seine omtsiens others were present by
invitation on our part
One result of thse investigations is a firm eon
viction of myself . that -we have held coniiii;e With
the spirits of departed friends, which converse was
had through the medium of sounds made when
letters in the alphabet were
- spoken, forming words
and sentences, -which presented mistrers to our
questions. I believe all sop associatei agree with
me in this opinion. i
i
I have looked with anxiety for the insults of in
vestigation.. by others, and am surptb(ed to find
that JlO two report. upon the subject/agree as to
the source of the( sousda, or the mode by whiph
some thip.k they hre made, or from what part of
the pers they proceed. Neither does any one
theory, or all of them thgether, as nit made pub
lic, satisfy the clainis of the believer in spiritual
=lnfestations, which are as follows: _
First : That sounds are mode by other than

a fromi, any human being' or known causer

asi l lond as world be produced by a violent blow of
a trian's fist.
Third: That invisible power is exerted in mov
ing material things, separate and apart from any
conscious lumen agency. .
Fourth : That table bells are 'rung by some in
visible agency in response to questions.
Fifth : That time to music it often correctly

Sixth: That intelligence is manifested in rap

it is proper to use in spelling out correct answers

Also. in the voluntary spelling of sentences of in
struction and direction, and the names of stran

Spirits wishing to communicate rap when I point
to their names written upon paper r
Amt. Yes.
The former list had been increased to perhaps
20 names, about half of them %belonging to persons
'living Raps were made when I pointed to - the
nameAf a deceased son, brother, and cousin; and
while ponting to these with my arm upon a large
dining table, it moved away from me eighteen inch
es or more. I looked around and drew back.: - ---
Presently it moved again, as before: I then got
op. and upon examining the table and floor binder
it, was convinced that no person touched it or had
any thing to do with its being moved. Soon after
this a terrible creaking noise commenced, like the
groans and creaking of a ship, which continued ten
or twelve minutes. While this was being made,
Mrs. Fish spoke and said it is an unesual sound,
and - she did not know what it meant. II thought it
similar to the creaking of the steamer Atlantic be:,

1846, at which time I was on hoard of her. This
I brought to my mind a lidy who was then in my
care and was lost_ I added her nano to my list.
While writing the name a shower of raps was
1111 heard, apparently, all over the table. Mrs. Fish
inquired if I * knew what it meant. I replied, " I
believe 1 do but do not wish to tell you, because
it will afford me a better test." After the noise
had ceased I asked it the spirit wishing to commu

Correspondence of the New York Tribune.
Oregon at the Close of 1850.
p.,ci.k-10 CITY, Ore g on,
November 8, 1850.
,I have seated myself on the Pacific coast to give
you cuing idea of this truly interesting country.--
The day (November Bth, latitude 46 north) is mild
and pleasant ; the air is soft as spring, and very
lovigorating; the leavei of some yowl. , and thrifty
apple trees, on the verge of Baker's ''Bay, are nut
tinged with frost. Probably there is not -a mire
healthy, agreeable, and even temperature on the
globe than here„,at tke mouth of the Columbia riv
er—no extrema of heat and cold:
There are two entrances into the River—the ,
:North and South Channel The Northern contains
t a lpotii water, anti is-the only one by which ships of.
atny.considerable draft can enter alow tide. The
..)houtli of the river, to the unpractised in naviga
ion, presents quite a fortnidable aspect--breakers
* every side. But the dangeria not. so great as it
I:Tears:" The chief difeculty4ii the necessity for
tatting „fen . a :favorable winik.,- As you approach
iii entrance of . the Itiverietir eyes are greeted
iitlithe inosCimpoting and beautiful spectacle.—
; pent St:Helens, in the form of a sugar-loaf, and
~.bite as the spotless snow ; rises on your view—an
l'eMiblem of imiocence. an enduring monument of si
lent eloquence.----as though it saidto ) the dwellers
all the immense prospect it catirlooks - Be
pure, be truthful and be just, and you will bebeau
titul and happy."
.._-.4.1,y0u enter the ruoMh of the riv,er., on-st.entall
peninsula formed by the expansion of the river in
the form of a half moon into a large bay,(Baker's)
and the Pacific, on the north side Is *limited Pa
cific City—the embryo (as many think) of the
Queen of the West. The City was commenced
last March. The bay on which it. is located is spa
ciews and safe, as though nature inthnded it for the
depot of the extensive lumber and agricultural re
gion of the Columbia valley. A hotel, which, well
furnished„, , will coat twenty thousand dollars, is
nearly completed. A large sago-mill is already
commenced, and the site begins to attract the at- •
tention of the capitalist. Almost every vessel is
bringing to it the sturdy adventhrer. It certainly
has many advantages, but you will see it has also
a good iounber of rivals. Across the river, and a
little hig.hei, up, is situated Clatsap Plains, a low
muddy district, but remarkably productive in veg
etables. The claims here (mostly, containing full
sections) are nearly all occupied. They are now
selling their potatoes at four dollars per bushel and
other vegetables in proportion ; consequently the
farmer is making hi : heap with great rapidity.—
And so if must continue here for years to come.—
There is no region that presents a higher prospect
to the agriculturist. 'than that about the mouth of
the Columbia.
Astoria, also on ;the oppolite side of the river
from Pacific City, is situated about miles
higher up. . At present it is the only port of Ore
gon, except one. The custom-house and distribu
ting Pest-office are here. Gen. Adair, the Port
Collector, has mused the office abont one mile
higher up, and commenced a new Astoria. Nature
has not been i L 4 profuse of her advantages to this
place its to Pacific City. No large- and beautiful
bay is spread out before her, and the prospect
around is nut so magnificent. Still Astoria hopes
to be first in importance on account of her age.—
In point .if population, the two places 'are nearly
equal_ , ' -
The claims near the river are fast beings taken
up,'"asd are estimated in value from two hundred
to five thousand dollerii, those near 'Pacific City be
ing considered most valuable. Proceeding up the
river about sixty miles, you come to the mouth of
the Cowlitz river. In its valley the French have
settled, But the Anglo Saxons ere crowding into
their possessions and establishing their claims:—
The banks of the rivers on both sides are high and
precipitous, ceveted,with k dense forest, theltifty
tops.of which sbooot up arrow-like, three hundred
feet or inure towards the heavens! As you leave
this place the general course .f the river inclines a
little to the south of east.
Cattle . Poodle, another small tributary, and on
the • .saute side of the;tiVer, is .fifteen miles from
cowitz. , Here we find another settleMent in a rich
and beautiful valley;
As you proceed eastward you, soon arrive lathe
