Haying succeeded in his object he re- urned tbere; and then, at the instigation of one of your heaviest Spanish sugar importers, and by faise statements, one of your young merchants ‘was prevailed upon to purchase the vessel. This effected, she loaded and left your port, and put into Cadiz, where she remained nearly a month preparing the means for her outit, thence proceeding to Gibraltar, and returning to Cadiz, which port she left without Custom House papers. Capt. Whitney ‘was in command as far as the coastof Africa, where, by threats against his life, he was forced to give up the com- mand, and received in payment for so doing the sum of ten doublocns. A Spaniard by the name of Tomas, or Tomasini, acted as captain as soon as the negroes were re- ceived on board. Besides her own crew she had some twenty-eight other sailors and four Spanish captains (pas- sengers), whose vessels (United States) had been cap- tured by the English cruisers. On the run to this island a quarrel took place between two of the sailor passengers, resulting in the death of one of them. A consultation was then held in the cabin, and the murderer was sentenced to be chained and kept below with the negroes—one voice dissenting, and sentencing bim to the yard arm. The for mor plan was adopted. On arrival at Cape Naysi, where they touched for orders, they found no preparation made to receive the vessel and negroes, but’ orders to proceed to Cardenas, The vessel was then short of provisions, and all hands on allowance, and it became a matter of doubt what they shoul do. Fortunately for them, and more Tecan for their cargo of human beings, they spoke a Spanish ship, bound from Cadiz to Ha. vana (the property of one of the owners of the Haidee), which supplied them with provisions to enable them to reach Cardeuas, where Botelho’s partner and one of the Spaniards wore ready to receive them and pay oi! the crew. The first mate then took command, with orders from Botelho to proceed to New Orleans; but instead of doing 80, he took the vessel off Montauk Point, and there scuttled her, first taking the precaution of burning up the ship’s register and other documents isened by your Cus tom House. The arrest of Macomber and three of the crew is familiar to your readers; aud we, knowing the facts here, were much astonished at their acquittal, prin cipally on the ground that the Haidee was not sailing under the United States flag. If this was the case, why was her register destroyed before being scuttled? 1a or- der to remove all the evidence of nationality should the vessel be found, ‘The way in which the Haidee was titted out is the one now usually put in practice; and as long as the Spanish bouses in this port continue prostituting the United States flag, no other alternative remains except a resolution from Congress authorizing Mr. Buchauan tosend the Home squadron and nab these gentry in the same way as they would a nest of pirates. This is the only way to stop this business, and, by doing so, carrying out Mr, Buchanan's programme. ‘Oar community are now watching with great interest the investigation arising out of the death of Mr. Aranga- sen, who lost bis life, as you were, no doubt, iuforiaed some time since, aud which originated in the partition of cargo of slaves which were sold. A great many persons have been arrested, and amongst them, it is said, figares ‘one of our Lieutenant Governors (Teniente Gobernador). The negroes have all been seized by the authorities, (7 course the Diario will plead ignorance, If possible | will send you the particulars, although our authorities will endeavor to keep the public in ignorance of the evidence, &c. Gen. Concha and the Reneau Revolution. (Transiated from Ei Diario dela Marina of January 10.} ‘The Gaccta published yesterday, in its unofficial depart- ment, the following interesting articie:— At the close of Jast December there was circulated by ‘telegraph through the United States the intelligence that in the island of Cuba a revolution was prepared, and was on the eve of installation. From New Oricans there rad ated to ail parts of the Union news like the following:— “Reliable advices received here positively confirm the ru. mor that there were in Cuba a number of Americans pre to assist the revolutionists. They all left this provided with lawful passports.” ‘There was a time in which the imaginary creation o plots and revolts in this Secs: ‘by unsettled or needy peraons of the neighboring republic, created a certain piss. ing impression of uneasiness in the minds of our tranqui infiabitants. But these have at length come to be con vinced that the announcements and acts which might come thence can only acquire real importance which the want of confidence or public agitation might give them here. To this end they have been aroused as to the chia. racter of these insidious expedients of an impotent treachery, which has already served for the contempt and mockery of the few who enter. tained it. We should have left, according to this, to run for its own time the New Orleans notice reverred to, if some curious antecedents and of certain grave grotesquencas did not come to coincide in time and nature with the announce- ment mentioned, £0 as to indicate the source whence it has proceeded. We are fully authorized to maintain what we are about to say. Some two or three months ago the New York Figratp spoke of a great cougpiracy prepared in this island and it became to be believed im that city—in reference to letters from New Orleans—that the police of Havana bad cast into prison bandreds of persons of all colors and conditions, In effect, a little after this an. nouncement in the North a paper was circulated among Portuguese. the people of color; and some weeks afterwards a foolish fellow was arrested. Among those pay was found a report to the “sovereign convention” of York of the work which bad been done to revoiution: Baba. It said to the convention that, in order to acquire information and to explore opinion, ‘‘a month was passed on the corners of the streets and in the taverns,” speaking to all those whocame near; that there was organized a system of guerrillas, whose mission was to go to the mountains and uninhabited places, “to make from thence a war of ex termination agaipst all races and colors,” after having set fire to E in thirty or forty places at the same time; that his followers had ra fidelity to him, st upon the earth, and having the points of their upon his head. It asked for five hundred muskets, and coptained a number of absurdities to which it would be useless to refer; but the touches which we have placed in relie( are suilicient to give an idea of the eream and essence of this document, its stupid style is 1a consonance with ite subject Bot it must be noticed that eo imaginary a con- spiracy, and the consequent perturbation of order on the island, were known find announced in New Orleans and in New York before anything was known here; and even at this hour no one on the island has in- quired about the conspirator, nor of such a conspiracy as we vow bring to the knowledge of the public by meaus of these lines. The inteliigence vow circulated from New Orleans has an origin more highly extravagant. At the end of Jane last the most excellent Senor Marquis of Hayana, our Goy- ernor and Captain General, received a letter from the United States, signed by The gaid in- ai | styied him General,’ ‘and prope indeperdence-of the island of C dociare the 80 as to annex it after. | wards to the United States, and enclosed some resolutions adopted by a of the new republic, by which it appeared that the said Renean bad authorized the issue of bonds tothe value of fifteen mi for his bxce! the Pres jons of dollars, payable by Caba, destined ency the Captain Geceral; that he was to be tofthe uew republic; that anotber ten ri wu, redeemable by the Unite r the General-in-Chief of the Cuban neau), 4c, There happened to be pre © Marquis of Havana receiv “ t he British Ni, Consu!

Such an announcement should be sufficient to authorize measures of precaution that might trouble American citizens resident and seoara- ing in Cuba. But happily our government, which knows the origin of these absurd rumors, which kuows that these strangers have not given the least motive to sap- pose that they abuse the protection which is extended to them, will go on adjusting its procedure to what is do manded by the relations of peace, notwilhstanding that in their own country charges are published against them like that which precedes these lines. We do not believe that any futile ingications will arise to cause our govern- ment to vary its course; as we are also sure that it will not vacillate in reproducing those exemplary punishments which the walls of Atares bear witness of if it be pro- voked to them by acts like those which are now sup- posed possible, Tt can be scarcely understood how, in a country like the United States, which is in so close commercial and social relations with this country, so erroneous ideas as to the resources of our strength aud our means of defence by ‘and and sea can be entertained; and what is still more, how it is possible to live inguch'complete ignorance with regard to the spirit which animates these inhabitants. It is thus alone that the idle rumors and news with which we were just occupied may be explained; it is thus ‘hat a belief could be created that a simple authori: of the President of the American Union might be sufficient for immediately taking possession of the island. On our part, we are now as tranquil with regard to either ex- tremity, as confident of what the country is to say now hat it has become acquainted through us of the terrible revolution through which, according to the American press, it is passing. Before adding a word to those of our well informed colicague, we shall ask permission to translate here a nic despatch we find in one of the numbers of the New Youx Heaaup, which arrived yesterday :— Wasuinatox, Dec. 2, 1888. ‘There are a great many reports in the papers now-a-da) relative to another revolutionary attempt ia Cuba, and of tl strong probability of the acquisition of that island iu the course of six months by the United States, There is ny umount of humbug in these rumors. Tt is ascertained that there are seve- ral schemes on foot pointing to this result. but ia maiu object is to aeceive the administration and handle some of tia money that may be appropriated by Congress towards the purchase of Cubs. Correspondents are humbugged. the (elegraphic wires are used, ad nil sorts of stories sat aflout. ‘The schemers have their agents in New York, New Orleans, Mobile and at several other points; but [can assure you that the leaders have strong- er designs upon the United Stites Treasury than they have on aba, We need not add that in taking a text from the New Yous Hexatp, we do not pretend to consult an oracle, or something even less. Howeve:, the New York Herat is so familiar with what it calls “humbug and farce,’ that in like matters it would be difficult to find any more trust- worthy voice, especially when there is a question of projects where the treasury, of which quite lately Mr. Bennett was a zealous defender, may be exposed to any risk. erefo.e the news from Washington published in the New York HERALD under go late a date, mustappear to us as a good conclusion to the article of the Gaceta; for with- out any doubt that entire conspiracy and all those in- trigues by which the so-called General Reneau and his confidants have endeavored to exercise perhaps some in- fluence, first over the framing of the President’s Message aud to Secure votes for him in Congress, have no higher or more sacred aita than that of taking advantage of the credulity of the American administration in order to work the mine of appropriated money the Chambers may allow, And profiting atthe same timeand on the other hand by public credulity Yor the emission of new Cuban bonds; in one word, projects of tricks and pilfering against the treasury and the people of the United States, altnough there may be likewise concealed an iniquitous plan against the government of Cuba, should they succeed to awake in it distrust against the numerous American citi- zens who at the present season are visiting our island, and find here as benevoient a reception as they can meet with in any State of their own nationality, But we accord only a secondary importance to this last portion of the projects of the “Reneaus and company. ‘These latter very well know that in the last four years there has not been amongst usa single imprisonment on ac- count of a political cause, as they also are well acquaint- ed that the inhabitants of the island are living in a per- fectly tranquil manner, without the authorities molesting anybody for his political antecedents or opinions. Those actors of farces and imposters well know the government of Cuba is too conscious of its strength to be alarmed by the more or less considerable number of American citi- zene who come here with passports, and have cer- tainly not forgotten that when in former times the news of expeditions against Cuba were the most accredited, American emigrants for California ianded in Havana by hundreds; those intriguers well know Uhat everybody in Cuba is acquainted with what happened with regard to the lamous accounts of the money em ployed in 1854 and 1855 in the projected expedition of Qnitman, and they are perfectly aware that nothing can De hoped for from Cuba, as is evidently proved by the intrigues immediately directed against the federal tesanrye For this reason we shall not even take the pains of pro- testing against the calumnies spread by these miserable fools; nor shail we protest in the name of the country which they make an instrument of their base intrigues; for this reason we shall not complain of their having dared to pretend—for we do not believe that they did seriously retend—that a Spaniard could sell his loyalty and lis honor for the sake of gold; finally, for this reasou, we leave it to the American press, which esti- mates the honor of its country and the interests of the government and the citizens, to consider the propriety of placing so important interests with impunity at the tree disposition of those who endeavor to get out of them the price of their infamous !arcenies. This does not re- gard us. As far as we are concerned, it ia sufficient for us to know that as well to-day as yesterday we enjoy the fullest guarantee of being permitied to live tranquiliy, protected not only against those projects, but against whatever may arise out of the idea to bay ‘our island. Cuba, therefore will, with entire security, continue her cnward march of prosperity, despising her insolent de- tractors, and should she one day be called upon to prove anew her sentiments an: rations, then will be con- vineed those who, in good faith, are still doubting whe- ther the protestations to-day carried by her inhabitants to the foot of the throne are, or are not, the faithful ex- pressions of love of Spanish nationality, and the most absolute and fallest aversion of foreign domination. In the meantime we cannot but approve the liberal and worthy policy exhibited by the Gaceta in those tew words, by which it declares that the government will not allow itself to be carried away by trifling denunciations, but should it be provoked by facts, it world not hesitate to renew those exeraplary chastisements of which the wailg of Atares were witness, Itis by this alternative that true dignity and justice gladdens our ey Poilce Intelligence. ARREST OW AN ALUROED EiGaMisr.—Adam Schromann was drought before Justice Steers, at the Essex Market Police Court, on a charge of bigamy, preferred against him by Margaret Streeke. It appears that he was married to the complainant on the ith of April, 1368, by the Rev. Mr. Lichtenstein, of Brooklyn, and that without haying procured a divorce he again entered the matrimonial state on the 19th January, 1859, by uniting himself in wed- lock to Eliza Dorlock, of 128 Pitt street. The second mar- riage took place at the residence of the bride’s father. Daring the feast which followed the marriage ceremony, the police made their appearance at the festive board, and, like spectres, hurried away the groom to a place of impri- soument, popularly {known as the Essex Market Police Court prison, This abrupt termination to the bridal party was exceedingly distasteful to Mr. Schromann, but he en- dured it like a hero, and it was not untii he wag brought face to face with his first wife that his seif-possession forsook him. Then he drooj as if by magic, and de- pair took possession of his Teutonic soul, The prisoner ‘was commitied for trial. OPHRATIONS OF BURGLARS.—Ag a couple of burglars were carrying off some dry goods from a store in Fighth ave- nue, on W-dnesday night, they wore detected by a citizon who lived next door, when one of them threatened to shoot him if he did not “clear out and mind his own busi- ness.’’ The threat had the desired effect. The citizon did “clear out,’’ and what is more, returned to his house and waited there until daylight the following morning be- fore he had the temerity to raisean alarm. By that time the burglars had made their escape with the dry goods dealer's perty, and were far beyond the reac of the p n example of stupidity and cowardice m , and is worthy of being chronicled. About $1,000 worth of property was carried off. The shoe store of Schenck, Pond & Co., No. 25 Beck- man street, was entered by burgiars on Wednesday night, aud the safe was robbed of $100. The entrance to tho safe was effected with a duplicate key, which the thieves discovered in the drawer of a desk in the office.

The Speeches of Dr. Horace Green and Dr. Vaientine Mott at the Academy of Medi- clne, on Wednesday Evening. The Cuamman suggested that the previous statement made by Dr. Green should be repeated, in order that the whole facts of the case should be laid before the meeting At ope time. Dr. Grexy—I have not the report of the previous c ment with me, but I will state the facts as well as I can from memory. The Doctor then proceeded to say:—This unfortunate case presented itself to me on tho 25th of October Inst. He came in with the rest of my patients, and made two calls at my office before Isaw him He left, as my assistant and a young man in my receiving room informed me, vecause the other patients were there before him: he would not remain until his turn came. called a third time, I think; and then T was informed that agentleman was yory anxious to see me, but was not willing to wait unt! his turncame. I said to the youuy man: “Follow the rule that I have adopted—that unless jadies are interested, gentlemen must wait until their turn comes.” Mr, Whitney then came fn to me, in his turn, aod gntered his name on my book, ag all my patieats do. I cid not know, sir, who I was treating until he made the hird visit. He stated to me that he had been in fi! health or two or three years, and that for the last two months he felta very severe cough, and complained of his throat. ‘He said that bis cough had increased considerably of late; was quite severe by spells, and was attended with light hemorrbage, which he believed came trom his hroat. His face was pale and thin, and his general ap- enrance was indicative of a phtbisical condition of the ystem. examined his chest by auscultation, and T will now read from the note taken by my assistant, Dr. Rich- rds, of the case:—** Chest thin; a little depression is ob- erved on the left thoracic wall, with less expansion on his side; pereussion gives a flat sound over all the upper portion of the left lung, slightly dull on the right side.” On applying the car to the cheat a distinct humid role, or click, was heard below the loft clavicle, in both inspiration ‘and expiration, which, when accompanying the above signs, is positively indicative, in my ex] 68, of the presence of tubercular softening. His throat appeared granulated and inflamed; the left tonsil was slightly en- larged and ulcerated; the epiglottes was thickened and its border whitened with a line of erosions. Dr. Green then stated the treatment. The enlarged and ulcorated portion of the left tonsil was removed, the pharynx, the subtar- sillery forsc and the berder of the eroded epiglottis were cauterized and a mixture advised. On the 26th and 27th of October applications of a solution of nitrate of silver were made to the forsal, epiglottes and into the glottes, after which Teaw nothing more of Mr. Whitney until the 9th of November, when he returned and requested to have the treatment continued. At this visit, and on the 18th, cauterization of the glottis and larynx was employed,andI then spoke to Mr. Whitney of the necessity of his giving more attention to his case if he expected to be benefitted by the treatment. The soreness of bis throat had disappeared, and his cough was less for atime, but that latterly it had incressed again. He ox. pressed much anxiety about his lungs; and at the visit of November 9 it was proposed to employ the tube and in- jectious into the left bronchi as som as the parts were prepared for this operation. For this purpose the topical applications were continued to the opening of the glottis and into the laryux. Iaiso made an examination, at a enbsequent visit, on the 20th, of Mr, Whitney's lungs, and I found unequivocal signs of a cavity in the superior portion of the left lung, and in addition to humid rales in this location the respiratory sound was distinctly cavernous, ‘An interruption of two weeks then occurred, when Mr. Whitney returned again, and the sponge pro- bang was again passed into the larynx. As Mr. Whitney had on several occasions expressed a de- sire that I should employ the tubage of the larynx, I resolved on the 6th of December to make the attempt. The tube was introduced, and a drachm of the nitrate of silver solution, of the strength of fifteen grains to the ounce, was injected into the lef! bronchi, and no ir- ritation whatever followed the operation, On the 9th of December Mr. Whitney again called on me, and expressed much satisfaction with tho effects of the injection, and de- stred that it should be again employed. The last visit that Mr. Whitney made to me was on the 14th of December; and as most unjust and utterly unfounded reports have been made and widely circulated with to the chi racter of this operation and its effects, I will describe it, Dr. K. M. Foy,a member of the Academy, was present, and will bear out what I state. When Mr. Whitney took his seat I remarked to Dr. Foy that it had been my inten- tion to employ the tube for him that day, but as he had not bad an application to the glottic opening for five or six days, I was fearful, for that reason, of not succeeding, and as I had other patients on whom the tube operation was eoied et are not use it pr behead hi case, but em| 8] ‘probang. instrumont was em- pgedoae he tubo was notsed that day on Mr. Whitney, lave the probang here—the identical instrument. (Dr. Green here exhibited the probang to the meeting, and de- scribed the manner in which the operation was perform- ed.) The paticnt, after talking a while with Dr. Foy and myself, and remarking that “the oper burt him more,” or that “he feit it more than usual,’ which arose, as I said to him, from the sudden arrestment of the instru- ment, left with the understanding that he should return the next day and have the tube employed. I saw nothing more of Mr. Whitney until I heard he was sick. After- wards J heard mavy rumors, said w have come from the patient and his physician or friends, “that the tube was used and thrust through the bons ya I addressed a note to Dr. Foy on the matter, and he substantiated what Ihave stated. He is now preseut, and will state whether these are the facts or not. Dr. Foy corroborated the statement. Dr. Braves then addressed the meeting, a fall report o which appeared in yesterday's Heratp. Dr. Horack Grex then replied as follows:—Mr. Presi. dent, as far as I am cmcerned, I am willing to leave this whole subject to’ my brethren copnected with the Academy, and the profession all over the world. With reference to my not bringing this post mortem examination before the Board, I should bave been glad to have done s0—it would have saved me and many editors and other individuals from chi of libel. My friend, Dr. Mott—for so I shall consider him— notwithstanding all this, made an earnest request that nothing should be brought bebre the public, except through the Academy. 1 olleredto read the post mortem at the last meeting, but Dr. Mottasked me not to, and I have been invited by no less that ten editors, desiring me torender to them the post morten, and that request I re- fused. There are many gentlemen I see here who can substantiate what I state, and wao applied to me for a copy of the post mortem examitation; bat I refused to give any information connected with the matter. Doctor Green thea referred to the post mortem examination, and read gome extract from it. He then read some extracts from Rokitanski, and said he would leave the members of the Academy to judge whether that was a tubercular cavity or not. [The Doctor then read the extract which described cavities like those mentioned in the post mor- tem, and recognized them as tubercles.) He then con- tinued—Mr. President, the inference which the reading of that post mortem le that this cavity was produced by the injection into the lungs. Gentlemen who are fa- miliar with what is now going on in France, know that they are discussing the question of an injection into the lungs and the cauterization of the larynx and trachea, and that the medical mea thers have unavimously ad- mitted that this operation has net only been performed with certainty, but that great practical beneficial results have proceeded therefrom, Within the last four months large numbers of delicate children have been treated for croup by the injection of nitrate of silver into the lungs, and the matter hag been brought before the Professors in ‘dinburg, where it has excited a great deal of interest. I will just read what Dr. Bemnett, of Bdinbarg, says. [Dr. Green here read an extract from an address of fessor Bennett, in which he alluded in high terms to Di Green’s treatment.) I bave now, sir, but word more to say with reference to one portion of Dr. Beales’ remarks:I may say that I did not desire Mr. Whitney to come to me for treatment. He tame to me, voluntarily and of his own accord, for treatment, and I treated him legitimately and properly, as I supposed, When he left me he went inder the care of another doc. tor; and, gentlemen, should I lower myself by dogging him, and degrade my profession ? Coudappiause.) Never. (Applauge.) Had they sent for me I should have gone there. | have saved two or three patients in this city under similar circumstances, by opening those large abscesses. But it is asked, sir, why I did not send round and inquire after Mr. Whitney? Dr. Beales bas asserted to a party, and the gentleman is present, that such was the rage of the family towards me that had I ventured to come near the houee that I probably should have suffered personal violence. Nevertheless, if I had been called upon I should have gone. I may also state that many of my friendscalled upon me and suggested that I shoald Have afriend present during the post mortem examination, asa representative. I at last deputed Dr. Carnochan to represent me, and to visit Dr. Mott, {n order to make the necessary arrange. ments. Jr. Carnochan drove to Dr, Mott’s in hiscartiage, bat foond that the post mortem had already taken piace. Dr. Green concluded by stating that he wag ready to an swer any question, and offered the gentlemen present any information in the mutter. Dr. Vatentixe Morr then addressed the meeting as fol lows:—Mr. Pre do not think that it is nece I should give any elucidation of this case, or my remarks particularly to this post mortem. e it for granted that Dr. Green and a'l my friends, and indeed every member of the Academy, will do me the justice to say that they believe me. If they do not believe me I will “never show my face here again, What motive could T have jn drawing up this post mortem? In truth, my whole object was to state fairly and impartially the whole case; and I am willing to answer for that post mor. em, or twetify to itat any moment. (Applause.) Some nsinvation has been mace here—the papers we have nothing to do with—but tome one has insinuated that the abscess was a chronic abscess. Mr, President, I have not ived in vain. T have lived long enough to know what an cute and what a chronic abscess is; and I say to this Academy, irrespective of any man, that this waa not a chronic abscess—it was an acute’ abacest, And Laay, furthermore, that any man knowing the relative anatomy of the pharynx and larynx would say immediately that ‘bat abscess could not have been got at by the fauces so as to have an opening made, I know the nature of an acate and chronic abscess: and T defy any man—I do not care where he comes from—to say that he could see he situation of that absovss by looking into the mouth. After describing the appearance of the pharynx and arynx of the decedent, lr, Mott stated that, in higopinion, there was no symptom of abscess at the time that he made the examination. He understood that it had beon stated in the Academy thatthere was a chronic abscess. ‘There ought to be no shoveling in opinion aa to that mut- ter—the truth should be spoken out; as far aa he under- stood it, he would speak it out. The condition of that larynx throughout was remarkably natural, #0 much 80 that he remarked to Dr. Beales, who was with him, that it was the most beantiful ‘and normal larynx and trachea that he had ever witnessed, It wae not at all unnatural; that part of the examination satisfied him that the abscess Mterwards found was an acute abecews, It had been stated that that abscess could have been reached, but he defied any man to reach It per ordue or by the mouth. No man could have done go, Dr, Mott then entered into an elaborate etatement of the pschycological and anatomi cal appearance of the larynx, pharynx,trachea and longs of the decedent, corroborating in every particular the de- ductious drawn from the port mortem examination.

THE MORAL, SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS ASPECT OF SPIRITUALISM. ‘70 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. My task is an unpleasant one; but, urged on by the irresistible power of the sense of duty, I fearlessly under- take its accomplishment. I am aware that in proportion to the magnitude of the evils which I may attack—and especially if it be in divino order, and the falsities which I expose—I shall array against myself whole sovicties of anarchical spirits, both in and out‘of the form. The vilest calumny against the author of their exposure will be thrown up as a rampart of defence, and in this way an attempt will be made to destroy the influence of truths which they cannot successfully controvert. However well they may apparently succeed for a while, it will bo remembered that truth contains within itself an almighty power which will cause it, sooner or later, to spring forth through all the rubbish of falsehood and wrong which may be heaped upon it, and triumph over every opposing cbstacle, With this conviction I shall state such facts as have come under my own observation, or have been given mé from such sources as are authentic, and-leave the result with Him who often overrules seeming evils for the general good. All true persons, of whatever class, will rejoice in the establishment of good and truth; and the over- throw of falsehood and wrong can be mourned only by those whose inverted nature causes them, apparently, to feed with delight upon its miasma- tic poison. The men or women who prefer a favored ery to the stern reality. of facts, give evidence that they have not travelled far in that path which leads to true wisdom and a harmonious life. truth should keep us ever active in the search of higher wisdom, and thus, step by step, hasten towards that goal to which we are all aspiring. erefore, the stability or fixedness of opinion is no indication of either an active or & progressive mind. The discoveries of all past time come rushing upon us like the mighty ocean wave and stimulate us to still greater exertion in the arcana of na- ture. It should be our aim to develope an orthodoxy which shall be both rational and cosmical, and maintain atthe same time a liberality both humane and catholic, ‘This would afford a resting place and a ceutre of reconci- lation where Christian men of all persuasions may unite in a convergent harmony of doctrine, and thus free them- solyes from misconception of what belongs to a rational philosophy and enable them to establish inmost heart re. lations with each other. Tam not unaware that too iSasdmngg'f we make enemies of those whom, with the greatest diligence, we seek to bless. The pointing out faults is not a pleasing task. In this respect the motive which stimulates to the most charitable act is liable to be misinterpreted, and the most beneficent rebuke transform. ed into malignant slander, The feeling in all is strong for Fad sie goa and he who tells another his faults is not believed to be his friend. If what I have to say shall have no effect upon those whose wills are now held in vassal- age, it_ may prevent many others from becoming the vic- tims of a like condition. ie rational should take warn- ing of the condition of those who are already subjugated to an infernal influence over which they have ceased to have control. Those who yield their individuality to the dictation of others will sooner or later reap a prolific hi vest of regret and sorrow. Prosperity may for awhile appear to be the result, for Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Nine years of investigation and observation has not left me wholly unacqnainted with the facts, philosophy and practical workings of Spiritualism; and if I present this to an intelligent public, [trust that it may, at least, do me the justice to attribute it to a sense of duty, rather than any feelings of vindictiveness towards a class of people with whom 1 have so been identified. So Soe have I been hitherto in establishing a belief in the phenomena, to agrent extent I over- looked its moral, social and religious bearings. A few months of leisure has ed me We he arabe f of reviewing the past, criticising the Spiritualists’ theo- rics and observing their results. Many of their theories are founded in the wildest delusion, their results most direful, as will be plainly seen as we proceed. In saying what I'feel that I must, a few will most heartily approve, @ greater number condemn. I am not unaware that I shall bring down upon myself the most bitter vitupera- tion and slander without measure. I confess my errors, and am determined, as fast as God gives me wisdom, to flee from them. I recognise no Spiritualism which is’ in contradistinction to the revelations of Heaven. Though jonce threw Christianity overboard, I thank God that I have again been made its recipient. Before I proceed, I wish it to be distinctly understood that [shall make no allusions to Mrs. Hatch when her name is not ave, * . * * * My investigations and criticisms will be confined more to theories and their results than to personalities. All classes of society may have delinquent members, which are only as excrescents growing upon the great body. But when the outworkings of any faith or theory become general corrupt, we may reasonably conclude that it is its legiti- mate fruit. It is thus that correct theories become so im- portant to the well being of mankind. The believers in spiritual intercourse can now be num- bered by millions, and embrace all classes of society among its votaries. Whether their faith has any basis in truth, or is the mere working of overwrought jmagina- tion, becomes a theme worthy of candid consideration and close criticism. There are various opinions of its utility or its practical workinge upon society. The exten- sive opportunity which I have had, and that too among the first class of spiritualists, of learning its nature and results, I think will enable me to lay just claims to being ‘a competent witness in the matter. Tam aware that what I have to say will offend many who are less acquainted with the whole phenomena than myself, and gucli as may feel themselves involved, and will pleace others; but it is for neither parpose that T write, but that the inexperienced may more fully compre- hend the dangers attending it. I am ‘requently asked if I still believe in the phenomena of Spiritnalism. T auswer, Yes. Ishould deem it more than a waste of time to write about what does not exist. Were I asked, again, “ Do you know that spirits do actually communicate with mortals?’ answer, No; aud I have not yet found a candid man who would give apy other reeponse. Koowledge is better than belief. What passes current as spiritualism amung its believ- ers,I think may be set down us fifty per cent seif-delusion twenty-five per cent psychology, fifteen per cent in- tentional imposition, and the remaining ten per cent is yet a matter of uncertamty, But, through it all, I believe that there is a powerful inflax of an infernal error into nearly all mediamistic minds which greatly corrupts the moral sensibility and proves almost universally most dis- astroug to its victims. Thave heard much of the improvement in individuals in consequence of a belief in Spiritualism, With such I have had no acquaintance. But I have known many whose integrity of character and uprightness of purpose rendered them worthy examples to all around, but who, on becoming mediums, and giving up their individuality, also gave up every sense of honor and decency. A less degreo of severity ia this remark will apply toa large class of both mediums and believers. Thore aro thousands of high minded and intelligemt spiritualists who will agree with me that it is no slander in saying that the inculea- tion of no doctrines in this country has ever shown such disastrous moral and social results as the spiritual theo. ries. Like an all destructive pare miasma, which almost im reoptibly poisons the soul, it has made victims of tens thonsands of its votaries, and secretly crept into many other avenues of society, until it is almost popularizing those social conditions which every good citi- zen must most deeply deplore. Iniquities which have justly received the condemnation of centuries are openly id; viees which would destroy every wholesome ulation of society are crowned as virtues; prostitu. tion 18 believed to be Mdelity to self; marriage an out- rage on freedom; love evanescent, and, like the bes, should gip the sweets wherever found: bas. tards are claimed to be spiritually begotten. All change, of whatever nature, is believed to be an improvement, as there is no retrogression. Iniquity is only the effervescence of the outworkings of a heavenly destiny. God is shorn of his personality and becomes simply a permeating principle, the Bible a libel on common sense, and Christa mere medium, hardly equal to the spiritual babies of “this more progressive age.” With such doctrines before us what have we to hope? That they are rapi‘ily incroaging no one can deny. The end is not yet. One thing is favorabie: many of the more upright and intelligent among them are beginning to see this condition of things, and are setting their faces against jt, But they are the exceptions, and not the rule, A bijnd infatuation appears to drive them heationg into the whirlpool of pageion, and in their wild delirium they mis ie wad fondly read upon their banner damnation for “iberty.??

DISAPPOINTED LOVE, MURDER AND SU1C1D"—-MURDER OF A YOUNG LADY BY A LEJECTYD LOVEK—ills SUBSEQUENT SUICIDE. {From the Boston Traveller, Jan. 19.] In our last evening’s edition we stated brictly the prin- cipal facts of the murder at South Franklin, Mass., of « young lady named Susan V. Whiting, by a rejected lover named Jonathan Wales, while returning from a surprise party. One of our reportorial corps was immediately des to the scene of the murder, and the completo particulars of the affair, together with’ the circums.ances of the suicide of the murderer, which bad not beea “is- covered, though it was suspected atthe time our iufor- mant left Franklin yesterday, are given below, with as much accuracy 28 could be obtained by conversation with those most conversant with all the incidents. Jonathan Wales, the principal in the sad tragedy, is the oldest gon of Mr. Otis Wales, Jr., an indop-ndeut and well- to-do farmer living at South Franklin, and was twenty- three years old. "He was a young mun of a very mild dis- position, peaceable character, and a good genoral repua- tion in te community where he resided, being much es teemed by his friends and by all who knew him. Rumor says—we know not with how much truth—tuat he had Several difficulties with young ladies to whom he lad previously paid attention, and that he had not been suc- cessful in his love affairs, although his personelle was Vere preporsessing, and be was generally popular in society. About @ year ago, ag we are informed by Mr. and Mrs. ‘Wales, the parents of the deceased, he became enamored of Susan V. Whiting, a young lady sixteen years of age, ; who resided with her parents, about a mile distant from. his home, and about three-fourths of a mile from Wads- ‘worth’s station, on the Norfolk County Railroad, A brother of Wales bad married an oldor sister of Miss Whiting, so that the famities were already conne ted aud thrown into contact with cach other. He pressed his suit upon ber, and according to the statement of Mr. Wales and otber evidence, she favored his proposals, and either reciprocated bis aflection or pretended to do so. The parents of the young lady were very much opposed to the match, and urged the inequality of ago between them as an important objection, forbidding her keeping bis com- pany. They were undoubtedly engaged to cach other at one time, though Susan denied the fact to her mother, But it appears that they plighted their vows to each other, and knowing the opposition which would be encountere trom her friends, agreed to wait two years, and to form ‘no otber attachment during that time. Before they were engaged Wales bad made her small presents of jewelry ond alterwards he presented her with a gold watch an chain. ‘hey also exchanged miniatures. 9 About six or eight weeks since an estrangement took place, probably caused by a change in her feelings, or a sense of duty to comply with tho wishes of her parents, He wrote her a note requesting the return of his jewelry, and she at once returned all his gifts—the young man who was with her at the time of the murder, weare told, being the messenger. ‘That evening he appeared changed and unusually sad, ‘A portion of a soliloquy, “God knows and I know,” con: vinced his friends that his feelings were deeply pained. He gave the watch and chain to bis mother, requesting her to keep it toremember bim by. He also distributed the other gifts, giving a locket toone sister, a chain to another, and a ring toa young lady friend.’ From this time he began to change, acting listlessly, and growing haggard in appearance. Soon after, visiting Boston, he purchased a five-barrelied revolver, and since then’ has frequently practised in the woods; this conduct led his friends to fear that he meditated suivide, At one time, after he had been shooting, he called at the echool-house, where Susan attended school, and requested to see her at the door, but she refused to go. He was at one time heard to say that this and similar slights caused more pain than the single act of rejecting him as a lovor. About a fortnight since, at a meeting of the South Franklin Lyceum, several young men who had heard the circumstances of the rejection of Wales by Susan, willing to sacrifice his feelings to their love for sport, arranged to have a discussion on the subject—‘Resolved, That a mar- ried man should be ten years older than his wife’’—and to compiete their plan for amusement at his expense, managed to bave him speak on the affirmative. The school house was crowded, and, as was intended, the dis- cussion soon assumed a personal character, and his affairs were alluded to with such freedom as to exasperate him greatly. After this he was frequently joked on the sub- Ject, and it is bay that this disregard for bis finer feel- inge caused the deliberate commission of the double crime. We have the names of those who originated the ra of the discussion, but refrain from publishing them; the persons have human feelings they will suffer enough without this publicity, erected less and unfeeling conduct. - Last Wednesday evening he met Susan in the strect, having waited for her to pass. He accosted her with “How do you do?’ and immediately threw her a note which was merely folded and without an envelope, an then left her. following is a literal copy of the note, with the exception of a few corrections in spelling, &.:— Sourn Franxuw, Jan. 9, 1 ‘Miss Susan V.

She went, and Wales was also at the party. He appeared mach gayer than usual, and laughed and played with the rest, but was noticed to keep his eyes rivetted on her, At about half-past eleven o'clock she left the house in_company with a young man named Ephraim Follett. They had scarcely proceeded fifty rod, and were nearly opposite the bouse of James. McPherson, when Wales, having crossed a field from the house of Mr. Hawes, came up be- hind them. They turned a little one side to let him pass, but he deliberately walked up to her, and raising his pis tol, discharged the contents of one barrel, with the muz- zie nearly touching ber right temple. He immertiately climbed over the fence and disappeared over a hill by the roadside, The young man with her felt her lean on his shoulder and then drop. He was much frightened, and ran to the house for aid. Mr. Willard Whiting had gone home quite early, without his adopted daughter, and Mrs. W. becoming alarmed at her non-appearance, started for Mr. Hawes; when nearly there, she met Susan and Mr. Foett, and soon Anne, having passed her in a carriage with friends. She was re- tracing her steps, when she heard a report, and saw the fash of a pistol. ‘She supy it was fired in sport, but soon came on the body niece, who was insensible, the blood flowing profusely her wound. Follett, her companion, was frantic with fright and grief, Aseistance soon came, and the wounded girl was removed to the house. She never spoke or recovered her senses after. wards. Dr. King, a skilfal physician, was prompt! catied, but only to fee her life ebb out with its purple flood, She died at about two o’clock, surrounded by her friends, almost laid prostrate by tho blow with agony of grief. Karly yesterday morbing, a party, consisting of Milan Cook, Herman Miller, and Joseph 4 sworth, proceeded to trace the footsteps of Walez, who, ‘it ws anticipated, bad committed suicide, The father had been previousiy adviaed® of the murder, and had expressed the ‘hope and prayer that his son might be found dead. They tracked him for abouts mile, through swamps and pas- tures, to Bald Hill, where they found the body at cight o'clock, tha piece of young woodland, flooded with blood, and with the pistol lying at the feet, ‘Ho had removed his clothing sufficiently to place the muzzle of the pistol di- rectly to his body, without injuring the clothing, and bad tbus discharged it, just below the pit of the stomach. He had evidently worn a poorer suit of clothes than usual to the party, to be prepared for the event. His boots were filled with blood, and his clothing completely wet with it. ‘The body was taken to Mr. Wales’ house and laid out in lus favorite suit of Diack. He looked perfectly natural and wore asmile, even in death, Beside his bereaved parents, he loaves three brothers and five sisters, with many other relatives and friends, His funeral will take piace on Friday, at eleven o'clock, from the house.

Whiting, and had made her some valuable presents. A fow weeks since, her parents be- came opposed to their Keeping company, and compelled her to return the presents, aif refused him admittance to the house. According to some accounts she also had trfled somewhat with bis feelings. He became moody and out of spirits, and his feclings were farther outraged by the injucicious rallying of some of bis young friends. purchased a pistol and run bullets, aud fears were entertained that he would commit suicide, His brother ‘who married Susan’s ster) told the girl's parents that e was armed, and had threatened her life; but they thought very little of it, On Monday evening there was a surprise party about a quarter of a mile from Whiting’s house, Wales and Susan were both present. -At ove time during the evenivg Wales ‘oxtinguusbod the lighta in one room, but before any act of violence occurred light was restored. Some think it was his intention to make away with the young Jady at that time, About one o’élock on Tuesday morning the party broke up. The p+rents of the girl sent a carriage to convey her | home, but she refused to ride, when a young man named Follett started to accompany her home. ‘They had got but a few rods from the house when Wales jumped over the wall, ran up to Miss Whiting, put a pistol to her head and fired, The ball entered between the eye and car, Wales jumped ‘over the opposite fence, and that was the last that ‘was seen of him until be was found, about seven o’clock on Tuesday morning, about one mile distant from the scene of the ager. He had shot himself through the heart. and probably died instantly, as not a mark of struggling was to be seen in the snow. ‘The unfortunate Young lady was carried to her father’s, and lived but about one Lour and twenty minutes, without having uttered a word or giving since the fatal shot was fired. Mr. Hawes, at whose house the party was, told me that he spoke to Wales about its being ungentiemanly to put out the lights. He replied that they were too quick for him; that he didn’t make out what he meant to do. The utmost excitement prevails. Iam informed by good authority that he had been encouraged by people in he vicinity to press his claim, or rather try to get her to ! elope with him, just for the sake of making fun. ‘ign of consciousness Political Intelligence. Revival or tue Waa Party,—The Memphis Bulletin is highly rejoiced over the prospect of the revival of the old whig party. As even the rump of the Know Nothing organization is fast fading away, tho opposition at tho South have no nucleus around which to gather their scat- tered forces. It becomes necessary, therefore, to fall back on the dead carcass of whiggery, and make an at- tempt to infuse into it sufficient vitality to swear py. How far they will succeed. remains yet to be seen, Hear how sanguine the Memphis paper is:— From all quarters we receive the most gratifying evi- dences that the hallowed recollections which cluster around the name of the whig party are yet fresh and generous in the hearts of an enlightened ‘and patriotic people. ‘There is in the very name a spell-word to con- jure up the deepest reverence for whatever is venerable in the republic—a renewed stimulus to patriotism to exert its hopeful energies for its rescue and preservation. ‘They err who think the whig party is extinct. It lives in 4 all its pristine strength in the hearts of thousands upon thousands of the American people—immortal as the memories of the great and good statesmen whose lives: were spent in illustrating its conservative and healthful principles, It will rise again, as surely as the republic endures—not, possibly, to be the dispenser of patronage and the distributor of partisan “spoils,” but to at least exert a salutary restraining influence upon the mad and factious tendencies of the times. It will rise again as surely as truth, though crushed for a time, re-usserts its omnipotence; and will be sustained by tops of thou- sands of good men, who were never before affiliated with it, but who prefer principle to partyism. We rejoice, therefore, to see that the leaven is beginning to work im Mississippi as well as in Tennessee.

His most intimate friends plainiy assert that he will risk bis fortunes with the republican party, with an abridged platform—the prominent plank in which to bear the chatk marks, ‘no further extension of siavery;” and while they would put him on the ticket for President, they would readily unite to run N.

The report brought by hor favorable to the expectation that the steamer, ioatead becoming & total logs, as it was apprehended she would, may yor ‘be saved, and, with repairs, put again into ser: viceable condition. She lies in about even of water high tide, broadside to the shore, with her head to ¢ northward and eastward; her bottom is badly chafed, an is worn through in many places; the precise extent damage to her below the water line cannot be ascertai in ber present condition. The engine has been taken pieces and removed from her, and with all the cabin suloon furniture, the state room and cabin doors, berth curtaine—everything moveable, in fact, has carried to Stonington. The boilers, which were new o put into her but a short time before she went ashore not been moved, The berths in the Indies’ cabin, much of the woodwork about the saloon, the bur, ricane deck, and upper works generally, hay been knocked away, and her ‘ance is ‘that o much gre complete wreek than actually is, wereexiips from New York, numbering some fort men, has been at work upon her during the past ten days and the preparations for an effort to move her from bei Present position are now nearly completed; probably tempt will be made to-day or to-morrow, She has led up below with empty casks, stanchioned down her sides, to lighten her; and the errand of the steamu ‘© this city was to procure afurther supply to be similart, made use of, No doubt is entertained by the wreck m: ers in charge of the job, of the certainty of a success ‘esuit to their endeavors, and we may expect either day or to-morrow to see all that is left of the gall steamer ©, Vanderbilt towed into our harbor for repairs, Axorner OvenLanpy Mart.—The mail boat fro New Orleans yesterday brought over a mail bag direct San Francisco, by tho overland route, via San Antonio #an Diego.
