Ut) t'OU’JIHl'N: WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 31, 1870. Till: I,ANT DAT. The Inst duy of the Old Year ; and there i« much that in comforting, and much that is painful, to look back to. We nro none of us as well off n« wo hoped to bo when the last New Year dawned. We exported all our subHcribers would kavo paid up before this time ; but want—or worse, neglect—ban prevented them from responding. This wo regret, for wo certainly have triod to d<> our duty. Wo offorod, as an inducement for old sub scribers to pay up and now anbacribors to come in, a list of premiums, in wbich wo proposed to give away a large part of the money collected, in order to reduce our business to a cash system, and extend it. We were disappointed ; but few paid their back duos, and our new subscribers were not numerous enough to warrant us in having a drawing that would not ho a beggarly farce. To those subscribers, therefore, who may fool diaappoiuted at onr inability to give premiums, as wo hoped, wo say in justice to thorn and ourselves, we are ready to rofund tho money on application. We do not mean by this that we havo given up tho promiuin system. On the contrary, we Will push it next year, and givo all those who have paid for a part of tho coming year a chanco. Wo kuow that our paper is alone more than worth the prico of subscription, and the premium list is simply a substitute for tho clubbing system and another inducement for new subscribers and cosh in advance, which honeeforlh will bo onr business motto. THE VIIMJIMIM- Tho Virginius has had a strange record, and Rooms to havo boon followed by a strange fatality. Her wild expeditions and many arrests, her last pursuit, and capture, tho tragic fate of her Captain and crow, her surrender, and now, tho last act, her destruction, nro startling epi sodes in tho career of a ship formerly no- tod as a blockado ruunor. Thoro is a mystery about her sinking which tin* poo- plo dosiro to hoo cleared up; indeed tlirro is a mystery about our relations with Cu ba ami Spain, and this lust act may not make matters clearer. TUF. HTltlliF.N. The newspupors of the country aro dis cussing tho present Jongineers’ strike. Tho following from tho Philadelphia Hal- Id in corroborates our remarks of yester day, and gives briefly the cause of tho presold trouble: “lu Pittsburg, rocently, souio members of tho Into Printers’ Union, who were active in organizing n strike for tho an noyance of tho new.spnpor publishers, wero pronouuced by the Court liable to indictment for conspiracy. Tho princi ple is a good one, and it. may servo us a foundation for proceedings against, the iuon who lmvo brought about a more for midable strike among the railroad otiyi- noorx, firemen and othors on the Pan Handle and othor railroads running west of Pittsburg. This striko affects not only tlin railroad companies, but tho whole business community, East and West, North and South. It cithor stops entirely, or seriously impedes all traffic and travel on the principal railroads iu Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. The whole postal buuiiiosH iu that region will also ho interrupted, ami, of oouruo, this will cause very grout iuconvotiionco to busi ness men, newspaper publishers, and peo ple of ovory class aud occupation in ©very part of tho country, “Tho managers of tho Western rail roads, iu pursuance of a policy of re trenchment and economy made necessary by the late liuaucul panic aud tho de pression of businous, n solved on a 1 educ tion of the pay of engineers and other em ployees, which took eff ect on tho first of Poomubor. The reduction was uot an un reasonable ouo, in view of tho state of business ; for it is doclnrcd that engineers of passenger trains still can earn on an avorago a day, while freight engin eers can earn an average of $4.AO a day. This appears to be good pay for any time; but for hard times it ought to satisfy any roasouable uieu. Hut thoro is no reason ing with men who bind tliemselvoH in n “Brotherhood," which is only a euphoni um for a Trades' Union. They nro sim ply rebelling against their employers, to whom they have been long indebted for tho means of subsistence, and striving to coerco them into terms with which they cauuot comply. U is u repetition, ou u grand scale, of tho organized rebellion of the Pittsburg printers. In this last named case tho rebels were ho quickly and de cidedly “floored” that they were soon on their knees, taking for work ou any terms. The same result, we hope, will be arrived at in this striko of the railroad men. There are thousands of competent wen out of work, who will be glad to take the places of tho Rtrikors on the terms of the com panies. When tho difficulty is over, wo trust that tho conspirators who havo brought about the strike will be brought to the bar of justice and punished accor ding to the plain principle prououticed bv the Allegheny court iu the ease of the striking printers.” ALABAMA NKWN. —T ho Marion Common wealth bus re duced it size. —A nmsonio lodge is to bo orgunixod at Opelika on tho ‘J‘Jd prox. —Ratio Putnam is umusiug the people of Montgomery. —Ro«e and Harry Wutkius have recent ly concluded an engagement at Kufaula. —Only one case of small pox at Seale.

This subject is ever interesting, evon if we look upon it os a humbug, and most sensible people do. The following from the 'limes will havo interest to those in terested in tlio subject at this time: “After u lapno of twenty-four years, Rochester promises to becomo once more a centre of attraction to investigators of spiritual phenomena. In 1849, what is known as modern spiritualism may bo said to have had its chief start in that his toric city. Tho Fox sisters, after having raised' the spirit of a murdered peddler from tho malarious atmosphere of a cel lar at ilydesvillo, Arcadia Township, Way no county, N. Y., proceeded to Rochester, as they asserted, by spiritual advice, and opened public seances at Corinthian Hall. A committee of respect able citizens was appointed to inqtriro os to tho nature of certain noises which wero heard by tho audience, and a report was rendered to tho effect that, although a thorough inquiry had been instituted, it had been found impossible to discover tho source of the noises. This was ac cepted by thousands of persons at the timo as proof positive, thut the spirits of tho departed might,under favorable condi tions, return to earth and do unlimited table-turning ‘stamping,’ and bell-ring- ii»g. “The Foxes, Laving thus cunningly ucqnired a reputation for wonderful 'mudiumship,' wero onubled to visit the principal cities in tho country, and to draw a considerable amount of gold into their purses. A few yoars subsequently, mysterious noises were heard at a house in tho vicinity of Rochester, hut they wero soon forgotten, tho curiosity and as tonishment produced by the Foxes elso- whoro having proved the greater attrac tion. But now that tho fame of theae ‘girls’ has been so thoroughly eclipsed by other ‘mediums,’ tho Amorican Spiritual ists may tind it profitable to make use of Homo ‘manifestations’ which aro said to bo at proseut iu full operation at the idenco of Mrs. Gascoigne, in tho lowns- luml of Chili, within u short distance of Corinthian Hall. Wo havo it on the authority of tho Rochester Union, that Mrs. Gascoigne, ‘with ltor family, con sisting of herself, her son, twolvo years of ago, and several smaller children, have boon driven to the very brink of despair by tho nightly occurrence of tho most torriblo noises during many mouths.’ “Homo yoars ago, it appears that the mysterious mansion at Chili becamo the property of a person, tho initial of whoso nnmo has been published by the Union He made it his rcsidenco, and, for a rea son which hns not been explained, took Mrs. Gascoigne into his sorvico oh house keeper. In this capacity she continued down to nbout live or Hix mouths ago, when Mr. A. died, leaving her in posses sion of his oil’octs. For a fow nights af ter his demise ‘the stillness of doath reigned.’ Scarcely an eutire weok had passed, however, when Mrs. Gascoigno’s reposo was disturbed by ‘tho familiar footsteps’ of the deceased. At llrst she, of course, thought it was f/incy, and tried to composo herself to sleep, but it was no use. ftho distinctly hoard tho croaking of tho door of tho room which had formerly boon occupied by A., aud presently she was still further uiarinod by the bed-nlata, wbich Roerned to yield to the pressure of a human body. Thon sho hoard what soemod to her like sounds that would bo produced by a person ougugod in tho act of putting on tight boota. As soon ns the last stamp was given to tho lloor a noise was made ns if somebody was asoonding tho stairs. “On tho following night tho manifesta tions wero more varied. Tho chairs aud tables in the parlor wore tossed about rather freely, and at cortaiu intervals ‘a siuglo whistle, of an apparently human voice, shrill aud distinct,' was heard by every person in tho houso. Mrs. Gaa- ooigno adits, that night aftor night a little dog which hud belonged to tho deceased responds to tho whistle in the most eagor manner, but never gives ovidetico of see ing anything. To tlieso singular pranks, doubtless lost they should become monot onous, tho ‘ghost’ very often ndds the moro oxoitiug ono of snatching tho bed- covering, with lightning quickness, from tho almost paralyzed body of the twelve- year old Gascoigne. Four moil, neigh bors of tho Gascoignes, it seems, have re peatedly undertaken to solve tho myste ry. Gno of the number states positively that a form, which in ovory respect ro- sembled Mr. A. in tho flesh, on one oc casion passed before him ns ho lay upon a lounge. Ho immediately jumped up, and had just begun to pro pound a number of questions, when ‘tho spectre, if such it wore, soon disappear ed.’ Mrs. Gascoigne remains in tho house by tho advice of counsel for the purpose of making good her claim to it in law. Otherwise, sho declares sho would profer to gather her children around hor and take shelter in a barn. “Surely facts like those cannot bo al lowed to go uninvostigatod. Tho ped- dlor's depressed spirit in tho Arcadian cellar,Jas material for an ‘excitomont,’ whs as nothiug compared with the whistles, clothes suatohiug, and boot pullings of this Chili ghost. The opportunity afford- ed for a revival at Rochester of the scenes of 1849 is decidedly tempting, and wo shall be very much surprised if it is not taken advantage of. Moreover, it would bo doing a kindly service to a much nffHuted family to relieve it of the pres- ouoc of one of tho most trying of uunoy- uncos." —The Janesville Gazette says consul orable stir is being created in Milwaukee over an ett'ort to close the gambling sa loons. The officials claim that they would hurt the.business interests of Mil waukee if they closed them up, as country merchants who come to buy goods want some place in which they can “have a little fun," and if they can’t find it there they will go to Chicago. Recently at Highland, Iowa, tho family of Mr. Kimball were poisoned by drinking tea coutaimug araeuito of cop per. The tea was takeu from tho bottom of the chest. Timely medical aid was all that saved the eutire family from a sud den death. —It has trauspired that Captain John McKinistry. who died in Mattoon, 111., ou Feb. 1MJ, 1 sr.S, was murdered, ono of tho witnesses being unable to longer keep the crime a secret.
