A Ghost’s Lore Story.
Something more than a week ago,
at an evening stance, General Bled
soe, aa one of onr famous apparitions
calls himself, lifted the cnrtatn of the
apertnre and beckoned me to him.—
On my approach he said: “There is a
spirit here desiring to speak with
you; but sit down and wait a mo
ment.” The small circle present were
singing. I waited in expectation of
'seeing some one who had known me
in his or her earth life. Very soon a
youthful nnfamiiar face appeared.—
Drawing near, I perceived that- it was
the-face of a young man, undone that
might be taken for eighteen or twenty
years ot age. He requested me to
invite Mrs. Mott forward to hear wliat
he hail'to say to me. .She came and
stood bvine, Learing all that I heard
to ekercise her wonderful gift, hut I
hoped that within a few days the
child might be allowed to put her
hand on the slate for her. Essie di
rectly threw back the cover, raised
her head from the piliow, and insis
ted on holding the slate right away
for the lady. In a few moments she
called for a light, and lo! to her inex
pressible delight, found a beautifully -
written and remarkably intelligent
communication on the slate, and her
son's name at the bottom. The com
mnnication contained, among other
things, an explanation which threw a
much needed light npon what hap

AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA.
New Revised Edition.
HxiUrdly rewritten by the ablest writers on every
■nbject. Printed from new tyde, and illustrat
ed with Several Thousand Engravings and
Hans.
The work originally published under the title
of The New American Cyclopedia was completed
in 18C3, siucc which time xhe wide circulation it
baa attained iu all parts of the United States, and
tho signal developments which have H&cu place in
every branch of Sxicnce. literature, and art, have
induced the editors and
L publishers to submit it to
an exact aud thorough revision, and to issue a
new edit* on entitled The American Cyclopje-
bxa.
Within the last ten years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
made a new w&rk of .reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political affaire lias kept pace
' ~ ir fruitful
with the discoveries of science* and their
application to the industrial and, useful arts and
tho convenience and refinement of social life.—
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of pur own .country,
which was at its height wheii the, last volume of
the old work appeared,‘has happily been ended,
and a new course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accession* to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable explor
ers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of tho last de-
cade, with the natural result of the lap»c ot time,
have brought iuto public view a multitude of new
men, whose names arc in eVery one's month, and
of Whose lives every one is curious to know the
Gieatbattles ‘
have been fought laid
maintained, of which the de-
s yet preserved only in newspapers or
in the transient publications of the day, but
which now ought to take Aheir places in pernia
bring down the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account ot the
mest recent discoveries in science, cf every fresli
production in literature, and of the newest inven
tions in the practical ai ts, as well as to give a
succinct aud original record of the progress of
political ind liistbrical*events.‘
The work has been begun alter long ana Care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful termir
nation.
None of the original stereotype WT’
been used, but every page has been _
new type, forming in fact a new Cyclopedia,
with the same plan and compass as its predecssor,
r greater pecuniary expenditure, ai d
but with a far greater . _ _
with such improvements iu its composition as
have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.

own lifej.wanted to see his mother;
wished the to telegraph to her to come.
During the interview his voiceat times
became bo feeble that it was difficult
toscatcl) liis words; but keeping our
lips very close to his whispering lips
we lost but little of his story. In ef
feet lie.said about this:
“I loved unwisely. My father and
mother thought the girl unworlhy of
me. I was so bewitched, I could
think only.of Annie. Annie began to
trent me unkindly. My brain was at
last so turned that I acted insanely-—
The lust time that. I saw her we had
hard words. =1 told her that I would
go drown myself, aud then come
back and haunt her. I kept uiy
word. Going down Pine street to
the river, I filled my pockets with
rocks and pieces of brick, thatl might
tlie more readily sing iuto the water,
for I was determined ,..to make a sure
thing of the drowning. My body
washed ashore near the foot of Plum
Street. My only regret about it i§
that, it distressed the family so. * My
mother can’t get over it, mar’father;
and pcor sister nearly went crazy
about it. I must see mother. it ill
yon, right' away let her know that I
am here, and wish to sec her? The
next, morning I wrote to a friend of
mine in St. L mis, stating what had
been told me by tlie apparition, and
requested him to show the letter to
the persons whom tlie appuritiou
claimed for his parents, and told him
to let me know whether there was any t
truth in the story. He did so. The
lady whom the appaiit on told me to
write to came. She is now here in
Memphis, and has attended perhaps,
six or seven seances, and on every oc
casion has seen and talked to the ap
parition who professes to be her sou.
Now let me proceed to state briefly
th^frounds on which stand her belief
that he is really her son. In. the first
place, who but her son could have
told so well the story of his sad fate?
And who but her son; would hare in-,
sisted on her making a journey of
several hundred miles? And then
‘He looks like iny lost sou, and talks
like him;” she says.
But it may be more satisfactory to
have a description ofthe first meet
ing between the parties, and what was
said and done at the several seances in
respect to his particular case. At. the
first seance attended by this lady the
apparition came tc the apertnre weep
ing, and was for some time able to
say but little; but before the seance
ended -he became more composed,
and talked more freely, beginning ev
ery sentence with' “Mu! ma!” a habit
tiie lady says Her son had when anx
ious to arrest lieiv attention at once.
He repeated to her the melancholy
story of his death, and had much to
say Of Annie, professing lo love her
still; claiined-a watch the lady had in
her pocket, and asksd for it. She
gave it to himv He disappeared with
it. The lady, resuming her seat, said
to me: “The watch is not running,
I’ve tried to. open it *mt failed.” Di
rectly the apparition held out the
watch, npon. The lady’s face began
to tight up with joy at this evidence
of his identity. “He certainly knows
his watch,” exclaimed she. He.had
it in his pocket when Ii6 threw him
self into the river.
Strange to say, at the very next, se
ance, the apparition for.a while blas
ted all the sweet, comfort which the
first mtervieiy had awakened in the
bosom of her who .had acknowledged
him her sou.' Re became wild, flighty
and talked insanely. Said he did not
drown himself, but was murdered and
thrown into the river. Made a jest of

of my old symptoms. Last night,
when I was talking so wildly, my con
dition waiT very" much wliat it was

The apparition claiming to be her
son begged her to bring his little
brother Gilbert, • a child three years
old, to-see him materialized. Last
evening she did so. When the appa
rition appeared I took Gilbert in my
arms, and held him up to the aperture.
The apparition seized his li; tie baud,
putted him on the cheek, pulled his
arm into the cabinet, shook it heartily’
aud for quite a time whispering, some
thing I could not understand. When
the mother came up, he insisted that
she should allow him to take the boy Sandy Hook lightship. If these were

might have the privilege of shaking

time putting his face well out into the

witli^evident curiosity, but^manifested
no feiir, aud readily gave his hand to
the smiling stranger, no doubt taking
him for a man such as he had often,
seen on. the street, at church, or in
company with the family at home.
A gentleman writing me from St.
Louis, wauts to know how the doors
and windows are secured, so as to
make sure that no confederate enters

in a similar way. By" no possibility

bays aud rivers,
They are also distinguished more ex
actly in j another way. " In some in
stances the lights are white and fixed;
iu others they are white and revolve
at stated intervals, of which the mari

they are rtd and fixed, or red and re

one lor the otber t iind so run his vessel
aground. But each is different. The
Eire Island figlit-house exhibits a
white flash, tlie Highland a fixed white
tight, aud the light-ship a fixed red
light. Upon" such distinctions as'
these the success of the system much
depends. Another very important
point is that no changes shall be
made in the- appearance of the light
houses until a notice of them has been
published iu the mnritine columns
of the newspapers and in official
circulars distributed among seafaring
men. The sites of light-houses and
-ships are chosen

in. the most exposed neighborhoods,
and where wrecks are most frequent.
On Block Island, in . the approach
to the Long Island Sound, fifty-nine
ships were lost between the years 1819
and 1838, in several instances with
all their, crews. Think of Shat, chil

plnnderers, thieves and forgers whom
the people had peacably forded to re
sign. The whole system of rascality
by which the people of Vicksburg
were to be robbed and plundered was
connived at by the carpet-bag usurper.
Ames, and the collision which resulted
in-the loss of so many lives was the
direct result of his attempt to commit j
a most flagrant outrage on the white
tax-payers of Warren county. The
negroes who were kille d fell not in
their own defense but in marching on
the people of Vicksburg, who did no
more than def ind their lives and prop
erty, their homes and families from
the lawless attack of an armed negro
mob. The negroes, in their ignorant
partizan zeal, knew no better than to J
obey the orders cf their carpet-bag
leaders, chief among whom is tlie
skulker Ames, who did not “go in
person to the scene of action,” but, at
a safe distance, hounded on his igno
rant dupes to their death. Ames may
have the approval of General Grant
and the vile faction whose creature he
is, but by all fair-minded men he will
be held rerponsible for, the lives- of
the negro33 so wantonly sacrificed at
Vicksburg. The Herald of that city
closes a detailed account of the san
guinary conflict with the following
just denunciation of its authors, the
editor says:
v “For the lives lost yesterday, for the
injury ffone to the business interests-
of this city, and for the great out
rage perpetrated on men’ every way
his superiors, we hold, and the whole
civilized world will hold, Adelbert
Ames and his superservisable and ig
norant tool, George E. Harris, respon
sible. In the sight of God they are
murderers. The blood of a sccre or
so of ignorant negroes stain their
hands this bright morning, and it will
stain their.souls forever. As there is
a God in heaven, we believe Adelbert
Ames and George E. Harris are mur
derers, and, as lie 's a just God, they
will surely be punished.—Sav. Jtfeics.

The correspondent says: “I have
made a most careful examination of
the facts; and I'am of the opinion
that the white people of Vicksburg
were, under the; circumstances,"" justi-
ified in resisting with arms, the attack
which was made upon the City by the
negroes.
They came in, it will be remembered
to re-instate sheriff Crosby, after he
had been forced to resign. The kil -

was unnecessary, and cannot be justi

that they were shot while begging for
