THE SHAKER VILLAGE. Our Shaker Correspondence Saaxue Vituags, New Levanon, May 20, ‘sss. mons— Singing, Dancing, and Shujling—Sin- Proceedimgs—The Shaker Faith. ‘The clear sunshine and pure mountain air are not the only peculiarities of this region of country, and though these might well tempt the stifled inhabitants Of cities to come and participate in their freshness and receive their invigorating influences, the lover of the ouricus will find in the singular people who in- habit this village, more to interest him,.and more to enjoy, than even the balmy fragrance of the moun- tain air, as it comes to him laden with the perfume Of fruit blossoms and wild fiowers. I am spending a few days with the Shakers; and as they ure a people @bout whom little is known, and of whom much has been said through ignorance, I have thought that your thousands of readers might be interested in some sketehes of them, their faith, mode of worship, Manners, mode of life, peculiar ideas, and labors, written by one who has every facility afforded him for seeing all that is to be seen. With this idea I purpose furnishing you, while I remain here, a few letters, giving information in regard to this peculiar people. I have just returned from the Shaker meeting. Every Sunday at ten o'clock, all the families of which this village is composed, meet in the church, which stands in the centre ef the village, for the purposeof practising their peculiar form of worship. About this time I seated myself upon one of the high benches appropriated to sisters, to watch the move- ments as they were developed. The church isa large wooden building, very neatly built, with an arched roof, and capable of holding about a thousand peo- ple. The floor was unpainted and uncarpeted, but ag clean and shining as constant sweeping andscrub- could make it. Around the sides of the walls ‘were fastened little pegs for the brethern to hang their hats and the sisters their bonnets upon; and upon one side a row of raised seats were placed for sisters, some fifty of whom were present, the ladies and gentlemen, however, being required to sit apart An air of the greatest neatness and simplicity pervad- ed the church. A little after ten o'clock the breth- Ten and sisters began to enter, the males coming in at One dcor and the females at another. The men wore the usual Shaker garb of long drab coats, blue vests, brown pantaloons, and clean white neckerchiefs, with wide collars turned over them. As they entered they hung their hats, and also took off their coats and hung them, upon the pegs around the walls. The women looked as though each individual one hadjust been taken from a very clean bandbox, where she had been sealed up and lying unruffied and free from the jolting of the world since the day of her crea- tion. They were dressed with long purple colored gowns, the wrists of which cume nearly up to their shoulders, with muslin handkerchiefs pinned across their bosoms and covering their shoulders, and caps of the same material, of an almost inconceivable whiteness. To one who had been accustomed, how- ever, tv see the belles cf Broadway, a question of some moment might arise on looking at these dam- sels. it scarcely seemed possible that they were of the same physical formation as their city sisters, seeming to be very much of a size from head to foot; and | came to the conclusion that to rob a woman of her bustle was to take away much of her power of beauty and of figure, and that our city dames, whose forms are 50 ceperating and divine, might, if clothed as were these Shaker sisters, present no more salient points than they did. As they came in, the men aud women seated them- selves iacing each other, upon benches ranged along the bedy of the chureh, and when they had gathered to the number of about two hundred, tue exercises commenced. The women, when seated, showing | oy their white caps and handkerchiefs, luoked like a sheet of virgin stew on which red foo! been stamped; they were of all ages ai pretty little girls up to aged matrons, and a! air ci peaceful content upon their countevances. When ‘ested, the men 2ud women kept their hands folded in theirlaps. Afier sitting a while in silence, at a word irom oue of the elders, all rose aud placed | back a'l,the benches, arc ti en formed in rows, stand- ing about six deep—the inen and women still facing each ciher. Que of the elders then stepped into the opening, and made the fullowing remarks :— Wes bea ed with the privilege o once more meeting SOrebty we have com> #ith the dim teuth.

At the close of these reiaurks a hymn was sung, all joining and keeping time to the music by a low shuffling of the feet. Another Elder then said :— We have come together to gain a blessing—to gather an inerea+ of God is good, and ie worshipyiog him weare tke tho-e who are thirsty, and bave come toa founiaio io drink, souls ~ho desire $y worship God wish te drink of the fountain of redemoti such tlere ix great unity of strength unio © numbers isa umon of people of Ged wre peculia They bs over ev! that no other people are blessed with by their union (! interests in things both spiritual avd tevaporal. Real ze: gion does not merely have referepee to the spi- ritual .art of mam, but to his whole beiog s- 9 man. True religion is designed to increase the sax of human | happiners in all things. It iy the croas we ave called to esr that brings us our happiness. Io the present day, when the -piritual world is all in commotion. wuen the churches are onsettiicg and heaving like shigs on the | stormy billews, we see that the people of Got are frm aad uno oved as ® rock in the ocean which ‘he wave cannot beak. We ovgot not to be ummiadfal of this gieat blessing. It is a gv og to be euligatened ia Our faith, but it isa better thiog to live out from day | to Cay that faith in practice. It is bot in noi-e acd agi tatiou that we find happine .s, but ina firm aut patieot reliance on the goodness 0° God. We have everything to make us happy. God has given us all xe can desire, and we can be +8 good as we desire, and it only remains for ns to work out cur salvation from day to day At the close of these remarks the women laid down their handkerchiefs, and a number of both sexes having gone to the wall, formed themselves in a line along it, while the remainder faced toward them. Th se along the wall then struck up a very lively, inspiriting tune, which seemed to be a cross between *'Yankee Doodle” and “High Betty Mar- | tin,” and the main body of the brethren and sisters | commenced dancing to and fro, executing the double shofile with the precision of dancing masters, aud keeping most excellent time. The music that was sung was of an entirely peculiar nature, and was adwirably adapted for dancing. No words were sung with it. This exercise continued about five minutes, when all stopped to rest, and goon another twne was strack up, and they went at itagain. This time, alter dancing up to the wall, they would all turn towards us and come dancing up olapping their hands in time to the music. ’ na few minutes this ceased, and the singers went into the centre of the floor, and formed a circle, while all the rest of the congregation formed in a kind of procession, (three abreast,) and as the sing- oof strength, and herein the | ers again commenced, danced round them, with their bands extended, and shaking time to the music. Occa-ionally they would break in with a clapping; and as they danced around the singers their whole body shook, and they seemed to be in a kind of exstacy of delight. There were two circles of dancers, one inside of the other, and going diffesent ways; and I noticed that either from accident or design all the brn Loe pretty girls were in the inner ere, surround teed ts ys looking sisters. ecasionally, while dancing around, they would all suddenly turn, and, facing inwardly, would execute # lively jig step, some of them with a lightness of heel that would have done credit to George Christy, and then pursue their round again. It was a singu- lar sight—; Indicrous at Mrst, but leading soon (strange as it may a> to a feeling of ema J a , however, seemed dee, ‘and their whole souls ehgaged in thei wor- eyes wandering nowhere, but fixed on , while they followed them. i At close of their exercises they formed as they ven originally; and after a few more remarks from one of t..* elders, and kneeling for a few minutes in solemn ‘ptilln, ** the meeting was dismiased. Tt Kg iblic, and during the sum- Ter, great lad them. The gers, and desire A biases everday ot men Who wo ions, while belief which is basis of nm, and which binds them together Tn common with other professing Christians, believe in an all-pervading, pee Spirit, walk God. They, however, deny the ordinarily recei‘ doctrine of the Trinity, and believe that (od is dual. This duality in the person of God, they believe, con- sists in the union in him of the male and female ele- ments, and that he is, therefore, male and female. In proof of this faith, they cite the great book of na- ture, where the male and female element is found pa all animal creation, as well as the vegetable ingdom, and the positive and negative state of the mineral kingdom, and reason from this that the great fountain whence they sprung is also dual—male and female Gud. They believe that the Scripture teachings are in accordance with this idea, and, among many rene er the following passage of Scripture: “ And God said let us make man in our own image, after our own likeness. So God created man in his own image, and after his own likeness. In the image of God created he him, male and fe- male created he them.” They say that, in the power of creation with which man is endowed, through the male and female principles of which he is constituted, | consists the most important part of the image and likeness of God. They believe that Christ is a mint, beloakiag an independent order of spiritual existences, w! they call the “Christ order,” and that this is the highest order of spiritual existences, and nearest to the himself—that Jesus was not the Christ, but was a, man, of whom a Christ spirit took possession; and that as the Christ made his first appearance on oarth in Jesus, so he has already made his second appear- ance in Mother Ann Lev, who was the founder of their faith. This, they say was necessary to complete the work which was unfinished when Christ appeared in the male order, but which was completed when | he made his appearance in the female. They discard the idea of the atonement as com- monly received by the Christian world, and say that it is not by the death of Jesus that men ere to be saved, but by a followit living ofa pure and holy life, such ashe led. The commonly practised ordinances of the church, such as watcr baptism, the sacrament, &c., they de not ractice, luok!ng upon them as merely typical. They lo, however, practice a ceremony which no other Christian sect does, namely, the washing of feet, which they do to teach them humility. They be- | lieve in a life of peace, innocence, and purity, such as was led by Jesus. The Shakers are spiritualists, and long before the | rapping and tipping phenomena which have re- | cently made their appearance in society were known, they professed to be in the continual recep- tion of communications from departed spirits; so that the Fisbes and Foxes, and the whole host of rappers and tippers, both big and little, lose a good deal of their claims to originality. They believe in a continued eternal spiritual ex- istence, independent of the physical organi zation, and deny the doctrine of the resur- rection of the y. The soul, they say, en- ters the spiritual world in just ‘the same condition in which it leaves this, and that there it | continues to progress, either in good or in evil, until | it arrives at an ultimatum, a state from which it can progress no further, and that this state and condition of the spirit is either heaven or hell. They say, how- ever, that death does not decide the final condition of the soul; but that the spirit in the other world has the same opportunities of progress and of salvation that it has in this; that there the gospel is preached and sinners brought to repentance and final happi- ness and holiness. world, they say, have, since their departure, become convinced of the truth of their doctrines, and that Mother Ann bas mace many more converts in that world than she ever did in this. One of the most peculiar ideas in connection with the faith of the Shakers, is that which they entertain in regard to the relation of the sexes ant There has also been much misunderstanding upon this matter. It has generally been considered that they believed the marriage relation sinful to ail, and that one great object of their organization was to preach a crusade against it. This, however, is not their view of the matter. Marriage, say the Shakers, is not absolutely sinful only to those who think it to be 80,as where there is no law there can be no transgres- sion, and that no man may be condemned wherein his own conscience will condemn him. They say, however, that the apetites of the tlesh belong to the lower order of the natural man, and that al- | though in the natural order marriage and_procrea- ticn are Prope yet with them who have risen into the spiritual order, which they claim to be higher, it is wreng. They take Jesus as their pattern in this matter, and say that he was the first who lived a Shaker life, and cite asa remarkable fact that he or none of the apostles were married men. Therefore they say thet they only tind fanit with the professed followers of Jesus in adhering to an institution which would seem to belong to an order out of which they claim to have arisen. They affirm that the children of this world marry aud are given in marriage with perfect consistency, snd to them they have nothing te say further than to advi-e them to bear in mind the true design of marriage, which is the perpetuation and increase of the race. They do not believe that world will become Shakers at present, nor do they desire them to be so. For themselves, however, they say that although the children of the world marry and are given in marriage, they, the children of the resurrection, neither marry or are given in marriage, but ave in this matter as the angels in heaven. Sha- kers do not, as generally supposed, believe that all of the world who are in the marriage relation are therefore hastening to perdition. These are the lead- ing elements of the faith of the Shakers; that they will ever convince any large portion of the world of their truth there is but little chane as men and women hold as firmly as they do now to the faith of Benedick—that “ the world must be peo- led.” 4 In my next I shall give an idea of the origin and | history of this singular people, with their mode of goveriinent, manners and customs, &c.

Its rocky pal sades, i ifs, its noble mountains, whose cloud-capped summits seem towering up to heaven, the pretty towns that line both its banks, all these would afford material for more paper and ablerand better pens (and ink ee than I happen to possess. ‘The road from Hndson here is through a beautiful farming country, through fields of waving grain, whose rich greenness and sturdy growth promise, with the sun of June, an early ripening and a golden harvest; and by pretty little cottages, in front of which gardens smile with yerdure and with flowers. There has been constant rain in this vicinity for about a week, and the farmers say it will be of great benefit to the grain, but will probably injure other crops. Tahiowt Springs is almost too well known as a summer resort to require any description.

Today his Excellency Hon. Noah Martin de- livered his annual addreas, in presence of the Exe- cutive Council and both branches of the Legislature, assembled in the Representatives Hall. The galle- ries were thronged with the “sovereigns,” both ; male and female, anda considerable number of ladies also occupied a vacant space on the floor of the hall, in front of the Clerk’s desk. Governor Martin in a gentleman of portly and dignified mien, and is per- sonal appearance is probably as prepossessing as any Governor in the Union—far better than the general average. As has been the custom in New Hampshire for ten or fifteen years past, he | appeared in propria persona, and read his communi- cation from the Speaker's chair. Hence it is called an address. Formerly a written copy was sent from the Council to the Senate, and another tothe House, (after the Governor, having appeared in the hall of the latter and taken the oath of office, had retired,) through the Secretary of State. The document was then called a message. The change, I think, was made during the administration of Governor Henry Hubbard. Besides saving the Jabor of making two copies, it is a much more dignified and imposing way | of making an executive communication than the old | practice; and what is the use of being a Governor or | other high official if there is no dignity attached to the station? Gov. Martin’s address, although nearly double the usual length observed here in New Hampshire, is still less than one-fourth the average Tenge of your | New York executives. Perhaps it would fill a couple of columns of the Heraup. He has taken some pains to collect and condense many valuable statis- | ties, (from the abstract of the seventh census and other sources,) relative to the industrial pursuits, the various institutions of charity and education, the | agricultural and manufé peat resources, banks, | railroads, &c., within the limits of New Hampshire. As these may prove of general imterest, icularly since this State now has the honor to furnish the | fourteenth President of the federal Union, | send you | an abstract of some of the principal points of the ad- 3. | It opens by congratulating the Legislature on the | general Prosperity existing am 1 the industrial ursuits of the State, as well as beyond its confines, in our sister States. | The Monroe doctrine is thus avowed, and an asser- | tion of its principles recommended :— Nations are bus aggregated icdividuals; assosiations of men for mutual assistance axd defence by the com- | bined strength of all, governed by certain laws and re- | spectirg the rights cf other associations, individual and | confederate.

Considering the length of last Ni to, the financial condition of the State is as favorable as could be reasonably expected. vnexcelled by any member of the confederacy, and His Excellency trusts that she is destined to suffer no abatement in these praiseworthg traits of ours, Exemption from indebtedness is as sound pene a State as for an individual, and no free- dom is complete without it.

It does not follow that because that body assembles annually, the statutes must have a yearly extevsion and modification. The Governor fears that mutable legislation is a great and growing evil. Agriculture is alluded to as the ‘leading interest” | of New Hampshire, which, although a mountainous State, cau justly boast of large quantities of luxuri- ant intervales, productive uplands, and pasturage un- rivalled in excellence. Nowhere can the couveni- exces and comforts of life be found combined in | greater abundance. Our lands improved and under | tillage number 2,251,488 acres; value of farms, | $55,246,997; farming implements and machinery, live stock, $8,871,801; orchard pro- cucts, $248,563; domestic manufactures, $313,455. We raise an average crop of 185,653 bushels of wheat; 183,117 bushels of rye; 1,573,670 bushels of Indian corn; $73,381 bushels of oats; 70,356 bushels of beans and peas; 70,256 buskels of barley; 65,265 bushels of buckwheat; 4,304,919 bushels of potatoes; end we produce 1,108,476 Ibs. of wool; 6,977,056 Ibs. of butter; 3,196,563 Ibs. of cheese; 1,294,863 Ibs. of maple sugar; and 590,864 tons of hay. His Excel- lency desires the younger farmers of the State to foregoing products of the farm and dairy fair average prices, and see what a fine aggregate of valves they will have as a result, bearing in mi | the while that he who most increases the productive- ness of the earth is the greatest benefactor of his race. He also renews his suggestions of last June, | in regard to the establishment of an Agricultural | Commission. . The manufacturing interest, of New Hampshire presents data second only in importance to the agri- | cultural. This interest is now enjoying great pros- | perity, which promises to be permanent under skilful | and provident management, We have in the State, or had in 1860, an? now probably the number is scmew bat increased, forty-four cotton establishments in operation, covering an investment of $10,950,500; | cturing 113,106,247 yards of cloth; using £3,026 bales of cotton; consuming 7,679 tons of coal; involving a value of raw material of $4,839,429; em- yloying 2,911 male and 9,211 female operatives; dis- baring to the former $75,713, and to the latter, | $124,131 per month—making 'm average to the males of $25 45,and to the females of $13 47 per month, and producing an annual aggregate value of | products of $5,830,619.

The banks of deposit, discount, and circulation, to the number of thirty-three, with an | agpregate capital of $3,226,000 all lee in, are in the hands of honest, responsible, and accommodating financiers, rendering them safe to the public and re- munerative to the stockholders. They are well dis- | tributed in the different sections of the State, and so located as to accommodate the business operations of the community, Their stocks are diffused among all avocations, individuals holding but small quantities, the policy being to have all interested in them who have money capital more than they require in their ordinary business, even if but small in amount. The savings institutions, or banks of deposit and loan, are sixteen in number, and have an aggregate capital of $2,182,218, i The whole amount of banking facilities thus af- forded reaches $6,358,212. Governor Martin thus cautions the Legislature agains® increasing the ig interest :— seems to be, I regret to acknowledge, at home oad, a great tendency to increase banking capital; Dus ness operations of a healthy character extend, the ities to effect exchanges should be augmented in a proportionate degree; but if the proper point is trang- gended the curreney Becomes 2, vet, business Is overdone, speesinsien pilesulatc, the me of creditor ond debtor changed, the vaive of propér’ evulsicn end business di-aster must pom ‘ 2 the natural conrequence.

The address gives the following statistics relative to the railroads of the State, and also allndes to recent railroad » recommending legisla- tion, &c., as follows :— ‘We have 624% miles of railroad in the State im run- ning order which bave cont $18 346,086 64 the last arnual receipts have been $1,768 466,98, and the expea nen $049,567 64: giving a net income ot $818,886 44; and averaging nearly 43¢ per cent on the whole investment. The questions must suggest themeelves to every reflect: irg mind, in view of the foregoing statistics, whether an increase of reilroad investment can be of public or phy advantage t> cur citizens? Whether good faith to the existing roads does not interpo-e a nufficieut charters? And barrier to the augmentation of com; whether the compe ition of rival roads will not chi jon of interests, and such fares as will reimburse In ‘tion to the 7 wy communicat Legislature in November last. 1 adverted to the subject of accidents occurring on railroads and in mi fae" ur: ing establishments, and fungerted an inquiry, whether bad tken done that should be done by legislation to Prevent their recurrence. Since then the public heart and in the resignation of that officer, and the appoint- ment of the present incumbent, it seems to have lost nothing in these characteristics. The convicts are healthy, and have been so during the past year to an unusual degree, performing their daily with cheerfulness, to the satisfaction of the warden and the pecuniary adva of the contractors. There are now 109 convicts in confinement; they are em- ployed in the following manner, .viz :— the Shoe shop, at 84 cents csob per day © Cabinet Ft perreaierty “ “ Smith + « 37 Pulverizing quarts rock, Shop waiters. : In hospétal, droves, and at work for the State Females,,....00... “ “ Since June 1, , twenty-three have left the pri- son, of whom thirteen were pardoned, eight sentence expired, and two died. ‘Amount expended within the year for repairs, about $1,800. The warden has made a new contract for the labor of the convicts, at an advance of nine cents each per day, to take effect on the 28th inst. Governor Martin recommends repairs on the steam motive power employed at the prison, and the introduction of pure water. The Insane Asylum has been prosperous the fast yeor. ‘Lhe number admitted to it with aview to cura- live relief or safety and care has been considerably increased over axy former year; and although we have had to regret within that period the change of superintendest, yet the institution has suffered no operaticns from that source. Acute disease has scarcely entered the precincts of the asylum the past year, and the patients have enjoyed a degree of com- tort, kindness and care, entirely beyond attainment ave instch an institution. An appropriation of $3,009 is recommended, being he amount estimated as New Hampshire's propor- ion, as one of the original Thirteen, for erecting, in Philadelphia, on the public grounds surrounding the Hall of Independence, some appropriate and durable memorial of the declaration which announced the independence of the British colonies, and of the men who were the agents in producing it. Also the usual appropriation of $1,600 for the support of indigent dea, dumb, and blind, at the asylum in Hartford, Conn. An appropriation for the erection of a monu- ment tothe memory of Hon. Meshech Weare, first President of New Hampshire, under the old colonial government, has been paid out, and the work will be completed on the coming Fourth of July. ‘ ‘The commissioners Sapiteed torevise and compile the laws of the State have completed their labors, and the compiled volume, containing nearly eight hundred pages, attests the ability and fidelity with which they have performed the duty assigned them. ‘The statutes have received a careful and laborious revision. They are published in a substantial and convenient form, at a price so low that every voter can afford to own the wolome. ‘The :ecord volume of the new series of the New Hamehire Reports, which has been necessarily de- layed longer than was anticipated at the issuing of the first velume, will appear in the course of the pre- sentmonth, and it is confidently expected by the State reporter that the succeeding volumes will be issued regularly at intervals of from eight to ten months. The unpublished decisions of the Superior Court, embracing the period of from July, 1844, to July, 1860, do not come under the supervision of the Btate re er; therefore if any inconvenience is ex: perienced by the non-publication of the decisions during that period no fault can be ascribed to the State reporter. The copyrights of the first and sec- cnd volumes have been disposed of as authorized by the act establishing the office of State reporter, and the proceeds accounted for to the State Treasurer. Legislation on the subject of temperance and the Maine law is thus alluded to:— One thing should be ever prevent in the minds of those bo would reform through legislation, and that is, that ulta measures often fail in answering the expectations of their projectors, and increase rather than diminish the evils they are intended to eradicate. Legislation, to be judicious snd useful, must be the offspring of a sound public sentnent; for in a free goverment like ours its progress con only be in strict keeping with a well ma- tured and well defined public opinion. I believe it is now conceced by most sound, legislative thinkers, that more gocd to the community ia attained by the certainty of be erforcement of mild and equal laws than from any features of severity they may contain. Were our pre sent Jawa administered with the energy and decision which they demand, we could speedily decide whether the ceficiéncy exists in the laws themselves, or in the want of their enforcement. Governor Martin, after paying a tribute to the memory of the late Vice President King, concludes his address by returning thanks to his constituents, and declining a re-election. In the het of the talked of democratic candidates for the gubernatorial succession sent yesterday I should have named Dr. William Prescott, of this city, a gentleman of large political experience, and higtJy distinguished for his scientific ability asa netoralist and entiquarian. “ We have in town, besides the Siamese Twins with two children, a fine day, and @ yast concourse of ple, enjoying “Electic:,s' The following curtosities 1 copy trom @ programme :— “A GEORGIA CALF, with but one Head, resembling that of a Dog, three Bodies atifully connected, sod joined at the breast, most tanucrg in a rampant position, in a very affectionate saver wind eight legee well proportioned, and three | very uneasy; and the famil Tails.
