‘The Religion of Revolution—Every Men hig own Eve: BTATISTICS AND STATUS OF SPIRITUALISM—A FREB CONVENTION IN VERMONT—THS REVOLUTIONARY TENDENCY OF THE NEW CREED—ITS WAR AGAINST CHUKCH ORGANIZATIONS—ALARMING GROWTH OF ‘THR BPLLEPTIC PRACTICAS OF MEDIUMSULP, BTC. ‘The anniversary proceedings which have monopo- ized our space of late, presented the condition of ‘our religions and charitable organizations, affording such evidence of their prosperity as they saw fit to report of themselves. There were several impor- tant sections of the religious community, however, not represented in oyr bulletins, Of these, none could well have afforded a more curious interest than the new movement of the spiritualists, had they seen fit to put themselves upon the stand and render ‘heir accounts current. There is ample evidence on every hand that this movement is exercising a most subtle and widespread influence. Without some no- tice of its progress our gazette would be materially deficient as an index to the prevailing religious in- terest and its developements. It may be expedient for the churches to ignore the parwenue creed eof the spirit rappers, but the vocation of journalism does not dictate suck a policy We present accordingly such facts and statements as could be cathered on the subject from the journals and tracts, as well as from the lecturers and disci- ples of the “ new revelation.” A free convention of spiritualists, in the manner or ‘a mass meeting, called by circular, has taken plac » at Rutland, Vt.,.and we uaderstand that matters 0° unusual and permanent importance to their interest : asa body were brought up on that occasion. The principle, or phenomenon, in which the movement originated, has had its due share of notoriety. But it was no new thing, and its affinity with popular de- monology, witcheraft and the apooryphal miracles of antiquity—apart from the question of their truth— frankly acknowledged. The spiritualists are, it seems, now endeavoring to move towards a position where they can stand above this phenomenon, and present themselves more in the vestments of e philo- wophical religion than in the garb of a frantic super stition. Tey teel keenly the uneparing opslaught which has been made upon them, but wich the con- fidence of their increased numbers, and the pro- gress they have achieved, they now manifest a spirit - of assault and retaliation. The for- mula of this proposed attack upon the cburch or- ganizations has more novelty than the basis of their creed. They lay it down as cardinal duty to oppose and destroy all “ authoritarianism” in ion. hey have meetings for lecture and worship, but no appointed or recognized minis- try; they hold conventions for discussion, but make no election of delegates; the expenses of their places of ay they are anxious to have paid mn the straightforward cash plan of asmall fee at door, and settle all round when the service is closed. They have no ordinations or covenant of creed; py ve no funded property, real estate or Jeases of church buildings; ‘they have no chartered institutions, or apy written or implied compact of association; they will recognise no organization, and assert the absolute uncontrollable sovereignty of each individual, as only answerabie in the sight of God. They do not ask their disciples even to ceme out of existing organizations, but if possible remain in me canes them aoe nee oe pe lp se ap) ni! indranees, they claim to be a religon, and monious church—a power of the first rank among Christian sects. In the progress they have made sinee the whole thing was but a mysterious .noise in au old house at Rochester, fifteen years since, they assume in the most confident manner to see the doom and over- throw of the entire ecclesiastical system which pre- vailsin this country. As a theory of religion, the developement ef t ideas would prove, without question, the most revolutionary movement which ecclesiasticism has confronted since the Reformation. Anucleus of more than a millionof professed and attached believers is already claimed for such a re- volution. Its barricades, they say, are not, indeed, drawn up on Broadway or Pennsylvania avenee,bnt in the far more vital precincts of the jary box and the Dallot box; in the Senate and the halls of legislation; on the bench, the press, and even in the pulpit itself, The movement is essentially indigenous and American, bearing the most absolute marke of its democratic and popular origin. To back up this curious and radical basis of a religion, they assert not only the Protestant principle—the bt and duty of eveny man, woman and child to have access to the evan- gelical writings—but they assume, also, the duty and the ability of every individual to be- come an evangelist for himself, to find eceess to the spiritual world, and draw ‘thence a spiritual inspiration for his moral suatenance, as the trees ab- sorb their own light and air. The means proposed in this method for “evangelizing” the world rendered the matter apparently on a paralie: with the practica- bility of the submarine telegraph—difticalt must be done. The two metho those of the elairvayants, whose faculties, by a spe- cies of dervish-like trance, are age to be ele- vated to the spheres of immortal Ii the various mediums who assume to have the gift of calling about them the spirits of the departed. At Dodworth academy, the chief exponent, prophet and medicine man of this American dervish delusion has just commenced a fresh course of lectures, which attract no little attention. What he has to aay is chiefly in explanation of his personal experi s a “practical evangelist,” its processes and its reaclts, in his own life. He stands up to this task before his audience with the coolness and confidence of an Flijab, who indeed had gone up in the old fashioned fiery chariot, bat was now returned by the more commonplace but much more convenient method of # railroad train. He has no creed, no evangelical code, no chureh organization to preach; he does not even present the infallible accurecy of his own «tate menta, nor do any of those engaged in this movement. He simply attests the discovery of an occult and fascinating source of religions ecstacy, a sort of theo- logical Northwest passage to the spiritaal world, by which the Bible is superceded practically, aad where any one may go and explore for himeel{ A would be useless to deny the extent to which this new superstition prevaila. The more noisy and preposterous manifestations of it bave subsided as matters of public excitement: bnt the private prac- tice of its manipulations and ecsta-iesare wel! known to have taken a deep hold of our community. Spirit manifestations make a chief and most exciting sub- ject of attention in numberless households, especially in the stagnant social life of our country towns. Clergymen, travelling lecturers and colportecrs Lear unanimously to its equally alarming and hing growth. It has established a new means of mental dissipation and debauchery among us. the more deplorable as its victims are mainly amoog women and children. Its mystical fascination, and the religious garb with which it ie shielded. enenre ts encouragement where it shonld be repressed. The xickly, exhausting and epileptic practices of medinm- whip Lave accordingly gained a hold here. Sveb can only he paralleled elsewhere by the vice of opinm eating in China, the worship of maniacs in India, and the like. Ite real extent would be in aaible to determine. OF those Christians who accord it a tacit assent, and accept ite distinctive doctrine—the enbstantial and material being of the human soul and of God—the number is quite beyond computation. It is in this point of view that the epiritaalists have as their only ab ding impression. The per of six hundred professional epeakers and mediams were given in the Spiritual Register, with names and addresses,as actively urging the movement: whilst the names of a thoesand others are withheld, becasse it was not known bow far they were willing to become subject to calls outside of their immediate circles.” The same source affords an esti mate of the actual namber of professed spiritualiste, compiled from extensive correspondence undertaken for this object, and with the fecilities of an editor and itinerant who nad surveyed and gone over the ground :— SPIRITUALIOTS IX AWRRICA Ma 5 12,000 Missiseippt - 6,000 New Hampshir? 7,000 Tiet. of Colambia. 1,400 Massachusetts 0,000 8800 Rhode Island 5.000 60,600 | Connecticut 15,000 20,000 Vermont 20,000 6 New York 300,000 1,000 New Jersey 4.0% 1000 Penpeylvania 70,000 69600 Delaware 1,000 28.000 Maryland 6,000 15,900 Virginia 2.000 California 20,008 North Carolina on Minnesota 2,000 ®outh Carolina 500 New Mexico 2,000 Ccorgia 2.500 Oregon . 1900 hentocky 6,000 Caba 1,000 ‘Tennewee 16,000 British Provinces. 39.000 Ohio 120,000 Bouth America... 10,000 Indiana 120,000 Tota! ‘ 1,097,500 ‘The «ales of spiritnalist books and publications would wem to corroborate thie estimate.

It would seem that the matter is not unknown to them, for during their late visit to New York an extraordinary saya of Spiritualist publications were dis) of. is well ‘worth their attention, before it mes too late, to see how far the religion of our sleepy churches, the Protestant loyalty to the scriptures, the religion of revelation, has been undermined by the spiritu- alist religion of revolution—the red republican pro- ject of making every man his own evangelist.

Echo from the Old Hall of the House of Representatives— Speculative Philosophy—Desolation of the Capitol—The Lotky Members— The Wreckers of Woshington—How the Myerle Claim wae Divided—Salvage on Claime—Piracy of Speculators and Jobbers— Office Seekers. As I eutered the gate of the beautiful grounds leading to the Capitol this morning I fell into a mood of speculative philosophy. I thought how many tous of hamen heart- aches, of disappointment and despair, of intrigue and cor- ruption, and of unrealized political ambition, had walked over the flagstones aod up the long, tedious steps of the Congressional cbarnel house of the republic, called the Capitol, What political schemes and dreams of towering ambition have not been measured off in the glow, slalely pace of such men as Calhoun, Ciay, Benton, Webster, and @ bost of other smaller calibre politicians, who have bone their i and from this sepuiclire of men’s hopes !

This is @ sud Ject that would require a letter iteel{ to elucidate in order to show the advanteges of Congressmen payiwg them selves to stay at home The hollow echo of my footsteps, as I passed through the retunda, was in strange ‘contrast with the busy hem | I fee] like one who treads clone some banque’ hall ceseried.

The Boston Transcript bas condensed from an article in the last number of the Christian Examiner various interesting facts respecting Massachusetts, which we subjein: Of the 1,152,569 persons in Massachusetts on the Ist of June, | 1,122,463 were of the Caucasian race, jwere of the African race, and 159 were red men; of the whole only six were of unmixed Indiav blood. There ave 106 women to 100 men in the State. 31.09 I<. cent of the whole population are of the “ dependent age,” from birt* to 15; 61.91 per cent are of the “ productive age,” from 15 to 60; 6.40 per cent of the “ retiring age,” from 60.to the end. Out of 100 persons in Massachusetts, 32 are under 15,62 between 15 and 60, and 6 are over three score. In looking at the occupations of the le we rv, either find that about 41,000 men work upon leat! in turing the article or moulding it into va . There are 1,800 doctors, 1,750 minis- ters, of large and small denominations; 1,545 printers, 1,584 coopers, 1,116 Jawyers and 1,660 peddlers. Out of 100 fteen years old, 5 work in fac- re traders, 17 are farmers, 15 mechanics, of whom 12 work upon aioe ighth man in the State is a or. In 1856 there were 12,265 cou married in Massachusetts. The number is 1,415 Jess than that of 1854. The writer asks, “Is marriage diminishing in Massachusetts?” He adds, “the extravagant habits of luxurious men and women put m: out of the reach of many, vanity prevailing over affection. As flounces increaee in pember sad greaten in size, wives diminish and lessen.

In the seven irs from 1850 to 1866 there were but 13,182 children born in Suffolk county to Ameri: can fathers : le the foreign fathers rejoiced in the paternity of 26,924 children. In one case three Irish children rushed at one birth into the land of promise. Not long « a true Hibernian birth took piace ; @ woman delivered of twins, one of whom was and the other in 1556. This, we take it, could happen only in the case that both parents were Irieh! | _ Same parts of Boston are more fertile than others. Thus in 1856, in Ward 2 (East Boston) there was one birth for every 21 persons ; while in Ward 4 there wae but one birth to 63 persons. In Ward 2 every eleventh female bore a child that year. In the whole ity there was one birth to every 8 persons. ‘Lhe birthsof colored children were “YY in 44.40; in 1857, it was-but one in sixty-five. ‘is compara- tive sterility of cole women in Boston is a re- inarkable fact.

Farmers die at orty three, printers at J pers and at NEW YORK HERALD, Crops and Crop | one ‘Progress of the arvest. Our Bevend and Virginia exchanges differ con- siderably in relation to the prospect of the wheat crop. The Leonardtown (Md.) Beacon says:—The wheat is even worse than we have stated. We hear of eighty acre fields of wheat into wh ch the ho; have been turned. In many cases—one in th neighborhood—the wheat has been cut for the straw alone, and withqut any view to its being threshed. Several specimens of the new crop have been left at our office, and we are within bounds when we state that it will not weigh forty pounds to the bushel. It is noted that the disaster is mach greater in the Sueil yariety of wheat than any other. The Norfolk (Va.) Herald notes a sale of new wheat at $1 per bushel, and adds:—Harvesting has commenced, and we learn from planters in different sections of Norfolk, Princess Anne, Nansemond and the adjoining counties, that the yield and quality of the wheat is Yar beyond their expectations, notwith- standing the unfavorable predictions for weeks past. The Hi (Ma.) Mail says:—It is generally believed that the wheat crop of this county will be as large again as last year. The red rust is upon a it deal of wheat, but it only affects the straw. few farmers have comaiencéd cutting this week. The hay crop is heavy and has been secured. The Baltimore county Advocate says:--On Wed- nesday last we saw the first cut wheat of the season on the Epsom estate. We hear considerable cow plaint of rust in wheat, but pr ume it will be aa average crop. The Parkville (Mo.) Democrat says that rust has shown itself to a considerable Mee in the wheat, in some parts of that State; and the Menard Index says:— Our farmers report that the prospects of au abundant wheat op are good. | corn crop, though generally backward, will probably come out better than has been anticipated. The editor of the Cincinnati Gazette having made atour to Delaware, in the interior of that State, reports on the crops as follows:—A trip by railway from this city to Delaware afforded us an opporta- nity toobserve the crop prospects in the counties through which we passed. The wheat looks remark- ably well, and promises a nage vied, though not quite so heavy as last year. grain is beginning to turn, and barvesting will commence in ten days or two weeks. It is certainly useless to talk about a short crop of wheat in those counties to which we refer, .and information gathered from gentlemen of other portions of the State leads us to believe that the wheat crop of Ohio will be an average one at least. Corn is backward, but where it is above ground the growth is rapid, and the plants have a vigorous appearance. Considerable qaantities have been planted within the last few days. Except in the lowest bottems, the ground is now in good or- der. Oats, barley and potetoes look well. The hay crop will be large. The wheat is as heavy as could be desired, the stalk bending from the weight of the fast ripening grain. Oats look finely, and are making remarkable progress; and even corn has already got a fine start, and is rapidly changing from a pale, sickly yellow toa decided and healthf greenness. The Cleveland (Ohio) Leader says:—-A gentleman who came through from Cincinnati yesterday says the whole route is the scene of the most animating industry. The week has wrought wonders in the young corn, which is now shooting up night and day,.and robed in the most healthy emerald. Should the good weather so long prayed for continue, Ohio will have corn and to spare next autumn. Grains and grass never better. Corn is ‘backward, says the Ripley (Obio) Bee, but is ‘ing rapidly. With a grod season, we =, Jook fora full crop. Grass and oats are excellent ‘On the Ohio river there has been less di from the continual rains, and the corn in many ql is above ground and finely. The wheat also looks well, and promises an average yield. In Northern Indiana the crops loek well. The edi- tor of the Westville Herald says:—We were out on oe agicd os See. perk of this) kote gg 7 sme de pleased wit! rospect of tl is pate ef The corn is in oll better condition thas we anticipated to find it. If a couple of weeks of fair, dry weathercould be realised right-elong, we could depend upon a large harvest of both corn and wheat. The Elkhart Watchman states that the country looks fine, and anticipates a large, thrifty crop. “The South Bend Kegister of the T7th states that in that county the corn lané hasall been plant- ed twice, and the corn is up and doing well, consid- ering the nnesnally wet weather. The: but slight indications of rust in the the Lafayette (Ind.) Courier, and P the bottoms where the growing crop has been Crowned out the prospect is fair for an abundant yield. From the best information we can obtain the area plented in Tippeca- noe, Carroll and Warren counties is above the average of previous years. Oats, and bar. ley in this county, which up to the middle of April gave promise of an extraortinary yield, have been greatly damaged npg continnal wet weather, and will not execed half a crop. The prospect for corn, the great staple of the Wabash Valley, is blue enovgh. The heavy rains and disastrous floods have peered farmers from getting in the crop. A jarge area bad been planted in good season, but the deluge of waters on the highlanés converted each forrow into a young torrent, while the inundation of the bottom lands was equally ‘disastrous in drowning out the sprouting grain. Other fields which had been plowed but not planted were beaten solid by the rain, and were left in a worse condition than before breaking up. Occasionally we find a farm, perhaps one in ten, an exception to this rale. The past week has been one of great activity among the farmers. The Indianapolis Journal says:—Corn of the short season varieties if planted now will mature. That which is up, and there is more of it than was sup- posed to be ten days ago, will = abundantly, There is yet a large quantity of old corn in the coun- try. The ground which cannot be planted in corn ean be sown in buckwheat, and a sure ead profitable crop gathered. Our Kentucky exchanges speak in choering tones of the prospect of the crops in that State, with the single exception of oats, which is represented as very nearly o failure. Wheat, corn and tobacco are all doing well. A correspondent of the Savannah (Ge.) Republi- can, writing from Dougherty count; ya date of ‘23d June, says:—We had a fine yesterda; evening and one the evening before, which, witl one or two more good showers, will insure to this section a bountiful supply of corn—and generally a good supply of corn is a pretty good guarantee fora supply of bacon; and those two great staples secured, we are comparatively safe. Our prospect for cotton is very fair, at least for an average crop. There isa little ‘less, I would say, than an average of land planted in cotton, and a little over in corn. The small grain—oats and wheat—was a total failure here. Everything considered, I would say we have at least an average prospect, though the lice are committing some pretty strong depredations on the cotton crops: yet the time te get over this disaster is quite long enongh. The Galveston (Texas) News of the 15th inst. says:—We learn from ail parte of the State that the crops of corn and cotton never have been known to be as good before. The corn crop is made, and the yield is said to be almost incredible. One hundred bushels per acre is a common estimate on bottom lands. One of the largest sugar planters says, for twenty years past the cane has never promised so well ar it does now. A letter from Monroe connty, Ga., to the Angusta Dispatch, dated June 22, saye:—Everything in this section is looking gloomy, notwithstanding we have raised and harvested (with a few exceptions) a paxkable crop of wheat. Oats (by rust) are almost a failure; some of oor farmers are pastaring them, while others, in consequence of some mules and horses having died on rusted oats, are ploughing the crop under. I learn today that rust is making its he arance in this county on both corn and cotton. Most cotton 18 said to be literally covered with lice. Some sey that in certain localities rast is covering the cak bushes. Should rust spread in cotton this early, there will be a clear fuilare in crops. As to the damage it may do corn I have no idea, having never beard of such a thing before. Woman's Rights Male attire, The HDemocratic Advocate relates an incident which occurred in Lewiston, Me., die week. A young man who bad heen boarding at one of the first hotels in that town since the middie of April, was dixeovered on Sunday last to be a woman. She had ocenpied a room with a Mr. Ward, who came to Lewiston with her. The landlord of the house let the parties off, upon their promising to separate from each other; but on Tuesday it was found thet they were cohabiting together in the town of Greene. An officer wee despatched to the place; the parties were arrested, tried before a justice, bound over, and for wont of hail committed to the jail in Auburn. At the examination it wae proved that Ward was a married man and the father of a family. The New Haven News of the 24 inet. says a young lady of this city, by the name of Higgins, of respectable connections, who had a desire to see the sighte of New York, had her hair cut and trimmed, and dressed herself yesterday in male attire, and to West Haven to take the cars for Gotham, where, in company with some of her companions, che hoped to enjoy the glorious Fourth. Her father was informed, however, of her intentions, and ar: rived at the depot jnst as ehe was stepping on board of the train, and prevented her from carrying out her plans. _Maxvracterme Smatistics.Mr. Joeeph ©.
