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 pened the preceding - evening.

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.

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 materialized- Then I feel something of my old symptoms. Last night, when I was talking so wildly, my con dition waiT very" much wliat it was when I jumped into the Mississippi. After I have materialized a few tinies I’ll get along better with it.

From your sou, James 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 into the cabinet.

The little fellow gazed at him 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 the apartment. Well, last night a gentleman from New York City "made a thorough examination through'the house; then locking the. doors took possession ance. men from Bloomfield, Iowa, General Weaver and Mr. Travers, both law- years, took -the precaution, before nightfall, to tie the window-shutters aud the door shutters' and then seal them with court plaster. .They also secured the doors, after all were in a similar way. By" no possibility could .window or door have.'-been opened without breaking the court- plaster. Now with regard to Essie, the child medium, Tvalue the communications received throngh her, not so much for the information \they contain, as for the clew they furnish to wliat has long-been regarded:as inexplicable, if not an impossible .barrier. To my mind, through one so young and so entirely untaught, shed a new and much-needed iiaJit, iiot only on un derlying principles'and ocnltlaw, so tittle understood, governing the phe nomena, gratffikewise upon the lam entable fact that much commonplace stall and- numberless’ flat contradic tious come throngh adult mediums. All- investigators of-the"^phenomena mariner passing out of sight of'one light immediately gains another. If all these were alike they would lead to. disastrous mistakes, and in stead, of guiding they wonld confuse. Accordingly, they are divided into six lands. Tlie first-order lights are in tended to give warning cf the approach of land, and are supplied with,the best apparatus, vikable at the greatest dis- distance;- the second-order lights are of the next best quality, not- so power ful as the first, and they mark capes and approaches to bays aud sounds; the third-order lights are inferior .to that are very wide and intricate, like the Delewnrebay; the fourth, fifth and sixth-order lights are usually simple lanterns, marking the shoals, wharves and other prominent points in smaller 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 ner is informed; in ctlier instances they are rtd and fixed, or red and re volving, and again they are red and white, exhibiting each color alternate ly, or varying - a steady white flame with a crimson flash.

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 the stations for light-: in. the most exposed neighborhoods, and where wrecks are most frequent.

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.
