Pilgrims. Urbana, Jan. 28.—It is expected that it will t be unacceptable to the reader, to inform him -t the band of pilgrims, lately mentioned in erent newspapers, as proceeding westerly, arrived in this county, and are now in Me- nietburgh, making it a tempora/yresidence } remove as soon as they concern; that they ve an intimation of the Spirit to that purpose, port at present describes them as very reli- usly affected or exercised ; extremely rigid in eir profession ; expert in the defence df their nets and proceedings ; exceedingly singular in eir customs, and as filthy a horde of beings al- ost, as can be possibly imagined. It is assert- of them, as particulars, that they use no wa- r to wash any thing ; (the cook’s hands only cepted) use no knives or forks while eating; row their bedding uniformly or out ot all lorm n the floor} wear a girdle of the skin9 of beast out their loins} that the males permit their ard iogrmv unshaven, and that they labor some, nd appear not destitute of money. For some -ason or other, those that have seen them there, upposc it propable that they will remove to Cin- innati, before long, passing through this place. In all matters whatever, even concerning the ooking of their food, they profess to wait the mediate direction of the Spirit from above, gen- rally (if I am not mistaken) through the medium f a member or leader, styled “ the prophet,” as heir made. He takes a position with two short taves, and uses strange mnttcrings, gibberish, nd exercises of body by which he divines—and masses to receive sometimes unutterable coni- unications. This intelligence is received thro’ ifferent concurring channels, and is propably, fcs far as it goes, correct.

The commisoners are each tb receive 1200 dollars salary, and their clerk 1000- Two other com missioners are to be added to the board when the right of devising and drawing all lotteries reverts to’the state.
