Another objection which has been brought
against previous revelations is equally good against
these in Dr. Hare’s book; to wit, that they are ri
. dicuiously unworthy of the minds of their pretend
ed authors when living. Os course we cannot
.udge of the ante-nwtcrn accomplishments of the
“spirit Maria;’ or bfjwuHate benevolent Mr. Wm
Wiggins; and as for Dr. Hare’s Chief familiar, it
must be allowed that the twaddle of his “hpnorod
father,” boars a strong family likeness to the twad
dle of his father’s son. But we must decline Jo
believe the spirit of Washington should occupy it
self chiefly in meditation on the talents and vir
tues of Pro. Robert Hare. Neither will a reader
of his correspondence when on earth, think it alto
gether like the man, that, when Dr. Hare address
es him with a eulogy, in eight stanzas which would
be rejected by a country newspaper, lie should re
ply as follows :
“J/y Friend: —How iny heart swells with

Very soon after my father began to eom-
Hmmicate with me, nearly fourteen months ago, he
said—“We know little more of religion than you.*”
Indeed, Dp. Hare sums up the chief additions
which the spirits have made to our stock of useful
knowledge, as follows:
“1753. The most, wonderful and important of
all the facts, communicated to me by my spirit
father and subsequently sanctioned by a convoca
tion of spirits, were the following:
“1. That there is a .special spirit sun, concen
tric with our sun, which illuminates the. spirit
world, without perceptibly effecting our visual or
gans. 2. There is a peculiar vital gas which spir- 1
its breathe, although inscrutable to our sense or
chemical tests, which we respire in our spiritual
capacity.”
If these are the most important facts of the new
revelation, it certainly is not worth while to give
much attention to those of minor, consequences.
As for the “special spirit sun” we evidently have
uo concern with it; and it is difficult to see what
use we can make of the ‘spirit gas* until Dr. Jlare
shall havo sqcceded in bottling gome for domestic. .
consumption.
There is one difficulty, a fatal one touching all
the spiritual communications, to which Dr. Hare
several times alludes, but seems never to succeed
in suggesting an explanation. It is tips. The spirits
will lie. Mr. Anjassa Holcomb, an apostle of this
new gospel, writes to the still unconverted Dr. t
Hare, as follows :
“You mention cases where the answers are not
correct Thousands of such c.ss might be fur- j
nished. In the presence of the mediums, almost J
all the answers will be false,*’
And Dr. Hare elsewhere tells that “tow, igno- j
rant foolish spirits, personate the spirits of eminent
authors.”
In these circumstances there is no certainty
whatever to the devotee of the ghosts, that his
familiars may not be lying to him at any time or j
at qll time-s. The only test of the spirit’s identity j
||huTi* to be to ask him several times over whether

ligion.and the character of the Saviour. The dis
cussion is as unnecessary in the book as it
be in tirp’notice. We cannot go out of bur wav
on this occasion to answer for the hundredth time
the vulgar blasphemies for the Hundredth time
repeated, of Thomas Paine and Abner Kneeland y
nor to expose, the shallow and silly pretences of
philosophy with which this “member of various
learned societies” insults the- intelligence of the
community, and seeks to ittypOse upon tbe igno
rant and simple. It may TO well for the public
that he has been permitted by God to expose'the
weakness and malignity of bis mind. Tbe church
will need no warning to discover those “spirits”
to,be spirits of anti-Christ.
There is no one moral which this book impres
sively teaches. No one will sass to read in the
sketch which the author gives us of the form of his
religious exercises. A pitiable picture indeed.—

, Fatal Mistake. A Wife Shot by her Husband.
Caroline, July 14th, 1856.— Last Friday raorn-
Tudden!yProute! from Tb sleep, and under the
impression that his house was being broken into
seizecihis gun and instantaneously fired upon some
one, ns he thought, entering the door; but to bis
horror he found lie had shot his wife, who was
fastening it. The shot entered just in front and
above the right hip, penetrating deep into the
body. Two physicians were immediately called
in, but found her beyond hopes. Slfe lingered re
signediy and uncomplainingly until abo'ut four o’-
clock Saturday morning, when she. djed, leaving a
almost distracted husband, an infant son, eleven
months old, and a large number of -relations and
connections to mourn her loss.

twotjeara, and were living most happily together,
whek the unfortunate occurrence, like a thunder
bolt, destroyed her existence aiid blighted his. He

loaded gun near hi 6 bed; hence the terrible acci

Awful Railroad Accident—Fifty Killed—Se
venty Wounded. — Philadelphia, July 17.—A
terrible collision occurred to-day on the North
Pennsylvania Railroad- It is rumored that from
one to two hundred persons were killed and woun
ded.
The collision occurred near Fort Washington.
Ope of the trains was an excursion train, filled
with children cnnnfected with St. Michael’s church,
Philadelphia. The locomotive exploded,’ .getting
fire to the car*.
Eight hundred person* weie on the train at the
time of the accident. 50 of whom were killed, in
cluding Father Sheridan. 17 were burned tea
crisp in one car, and 7 in another. 6 cjtrs were de
molished. The scene was awful beyond description.
TragiC'Event in the Tyrol. —The Revue Franco
Itallenne reports a terrible event as having occur
red. recently at Bolzano, in the Italian Tyrol. A
school-boy of the town school threw a stone at a
peacock belonging to the masters, and killed it.
The father of the child, when he heard of the cir
cumstance, came forward voluntarily to pay the
value of the bird. But the two masters, who were
priests, determined that the child must, neverthe
less, receive exemplary chastisement. At a mo
ment when all the other scholars went out for a
walk, the “murderer” of the peacock was detained
and beaten until his back was broken. He died
on the spot. The father, who was sent for by the
people who heard the cries of the child, came at
once to the school, and seeing his infant dead, fell
upon the two priests, and killed them, by repeated
stabs with a knife.— Term. Rap.
. ■ Tornadoes in Texds. —A letter from Sherman
in Texas, dated on the 12th ult., speaks of five of
the most terri c storms having passed over that
-section of territory in the previous three weekß.
Oefiar Hill, in Dallas county, was entirely destroyr
ed'hy it. Every house in the place was leveled by
it, and some blown entirely away. Nine persons
were killed on tlie spot, aryl two were carried
some seven miles, and found dead, of course. An
os waggon, standing before a store, was literally
torn to pieces, one of'the tires was broken into j
four pieces, then doubled up and twisted like an :

that stuck some distance into the ground and held

A Simple Cure for a Snake Bite. —Mr. John
Andrews, of this district, informs us that a few
days since he was fishing; he had with him a
small negro boy, who mistaking a mocaein for a
stick, picked it Up and was bitten on the thumb.
Mr. A. had frequently been informed that Ins
grand father, one of our oldest settlers, who was a
great hunter, had never failed to prevent any evil
consequences resulting from a snake bite by wash
ing the wound iu water, and at the same time
squeezeing out the poison. He in this case resort
ed to this cure. Holding the wounded member
under water, he washed it for some time. Tbe
cure was complete; the thumb did not even swell.
The bite of the moccasin is as much dreaded as
that of the rattle snake. This statement may be
relied upon. Mr. Andrews is a man of character.

Lead Mines. —We are informed that, within a
few days past, an agent of a New-York Company,
has visited our town, for the purpose of negotia
tion for a certain Lead Mine, said to be strongly
impregnated too with Silver. This mine, we are
in for fried lies in McMinn County, Tenn., near the
East Tann, and Ga. Rail Road, and is owned by
citizens of this, Cass Cos. Ga. The ore of this
Mine is said to be very rich and of course will
bring in the Rhino. Well, we of it, for
if others have plenty of the needful , perhaps we
too may catch a little as it circulates.— Casttville

TO THE PUBLIC!
CIIEIiOKEE CAPTIST COLLEGE,
NEAR CASSVILLE, GA.
OWING to the late destruction of our College
edifice, by fire, we are deprived of the occu
pancy of the sa'tr.e for this year. But we are happy
to state that the contractors have commenced, with
renewed energy, to rebuild the same, relying on a
generous community to assist them so far as able.
The Board of Trustees announce that the School
will begin as published in our Prospectus and ad
vertisements, on the Ist WEDNESDAY in FEBRU
ARY'next. We have procured a good house, con
tainingsix convenient rooms, in the the
villaae, in which the sehool will be ctmducted. We
also have procured, on the premises, tne use of three
small buildings which will accommodate ten or
fifteen young men wishing to board ’ themselves.—
We therefore say to one and all, come on and you
*wrn have food accommodations atm the very best of
instruction.
In view of the great loss \vc have sustained, we
would make a most earnest appeal to our aid sub
scribers to pay up their old subscriptions without
delay. The subscribers to the endowment fund.are
respectfully requeued to pay, immediately, the inte
rest on their subscriptions for the first year—due the
Ist ult., and so much of the installment due, or sub
scription, as is convenient for them. The same can
be paid to Rev. Edwin Dyer, Rev. John Crawford,
or sent to me by mail. Any additional sum from
any one to enable us to meet our losses , will be grate
fully received. We hope, in view of our calamity,
no other call will be necessary.
