New fork City. —Being satisfied with the or
dinary comrnoß-place things of every day lite,
and having heard a great deal about the myste
rious communications telegraphed to this our ig
norant sphere, by wise and benignant spirits ol
bliss, through the dignified medium oi old chairs,
washstands and card-tables, we three (who had
met again) determined to put ourselves in com
munication with the next world, to tind out, if
possible, our chances of a favorable reception
when business or pleasure call us in that direc
tion.
Up Broadway till we came to an illuminated
ti ree cornered transparency. (which made Bull
Dngge smack his lips and say ‘oysters,') which
informed us that within a large assortment of
spirits of every description were constantly in
attendance ready to answer inquiries, or to run
on errands in the spirt! wot Id, and bring the ghost
mtt nCt ! r<S, f j) C,ass C
icate Arieb' were the spirits of depsrfed news
boys, wno are thrown out of their legitimate bu
siness, and strive to get an honest living by do-
Kntered the room with becoming .ra it v and
■■fisrcoming awe. Twoold foozles in white neck
cloths and no collars, a returned Cali ornian in
an Indian blanket, two peak-no ed old maids, a
good-looking widow with a little boy. our own
sacred trio and the ‘•medium,’ 7 composed the
whole oi the assembled multitude. The " rnedi- !
um aforesaid was a vipegar-complexioned wo
man, very ruby nose, mouth the exact «hape of
a sound hole to a violin, who wore green sjiecta
cles and petticoats of equivocal purity.
S The furniture consisted of seveiai chairs, a
minor, no carpet, a small stand, a large dining
table, and in one corner ol the room a bedstead,
UMttfcstand and bookcase, with writing desk on
ton. After some remarks by the medium, we
fanned the magic circle, by sitting close tog**th
— „*er and putting our hands on the table. Bull
Dogge took a big drink before he laid his pon
detous fist by the side of the others. After a
short length of time the table began to snake its
P ricketty legs, to flap its leaves after the manner
of wings, and to utter ominous squaks from its
crazyold joints. Pretty soon “knock” under
Daaophool’s hand; he trembled and turned pale,
but on the whole, stood his ground like a man.—
Knock, knock in my immediate vicinity—looked
under the table, but could’nt see anybody—
knock, knock , knock, KNOCK, directly under
£all Dogge’s elbow.
(He, frightened, jumped from his seat and pre
pared to run, sensible to the last, he took a drink,
ielt better—reverently took off his hat. and said
“ hang it”—and resumed his =eat. Knocking
P became general—medium said the spirits were
ready to answer quest.ons—asked if any spirit
, i | would talk to me—yes. Come along. I remark-
ed—noisy spirit announced its advent by a se
tietof knocks, which would have done honor to
™ two penny-postmen “rolled into one.” Asked
who it was—ghost of my uncle—(never had an
uncle) inquired if he was happy—tolerably.
What are you about ? principal occupations are
hunting wild bees, catching cat-fish, chopping
pine lumber, and makijjg hickory whip stocks.
How's your wife’— sober , just at present. Do
you have good liquor up there ?— yes. (very em
phatically.) What is your comparative situa
tion ?—am in the second sphere; hope soon to
get promoted into the third, where they only
work six hours a day, and have apple dumplias
every day tor dinner—good bye—wife wants me
to come and spank the baby. One of the old
foozles now wanted to talk—spirit was gratified
by the remains of his maternal grandmother, who
hammered out in a series of forcible raps the
gratifying intelligence that she was very well
contented, and spent the most of her time drink
ing green tea and singing Yankee Doodle.
Dampbool now took courage, and sung out for
his father to come and talk to him— (when the
old gentleman was alive, he was “one of em”—
on demand, the lather came—interesting con
versation—old man in trouble—lost all his money
betting on a horse race, and had just pawned his
coat and a spare shirt to get#»money to set him
self up in business again, as a popcorn merchant
(Damphool sunk down exhausted, and bor
rowed the brandy bottle.)
' s Disconsolate widow gets a communication
from her husband that he is a great deal happ : er
now than formerly—don’t want to come back
to her no thank you—would rather not. Old
maid inquires if husbands are plenty—to her
great joy is informed that the prospect is good.
§ Little boy asks if, when he gets into the other
world, he can have a long tail coat—mother tells
him to shut up —small boy whimpers, and says
that he always Aos worn a short jacket, and he
expects when he gets to Heaven, he’ll be bob
tail Angel.
Damphool’s attention to the bottle has re-as
sured his spirits, (be is easily affected by brandy
—one g ! ass makes him want to Veat all his
friends; when he has two bumpers in him he
owns a great deal of real estate, and glass No. 3
makes him lich enough to buy the Custom House,
and he now ventures another inquiry of his rela
tive, who shuts him tip. telling him as soon as he
gets sober enough to tell Maiden Lane from a
light-house, to go and go to bed.
Went at it myself; inquired all sorts of things
from all kinds of spirits, “ black spirits and
white, red spirits and gray.” Result as follows:
By means of thumps, knocks, raps and spiritual
kicks, I learned that Sampson and Hercules have
gone into partnership in the millinery business.

two somersets, and landed with one leg in the
widow’s lap, one in Damphool’s mouth, and the
other two on the toes of the sanctimonious look

ted strong symptoms ot a desire to dance the
Jenny Lind polka on Bull Dogge’s head ; the

Bull Bogge here made a ruch for the door, and
dashed wildly down Broadway, pursued, as he
avers to this day, by the spirit of an Irishman,

Damphool, and B. D’s. bottle, (empty, or he
would never have left it,) and went home satis
fied that “there are more things in heaven and
earth than are dreamed of,” except by lying

and too cowardly to get an honorable living by’
stealing, adopt this method to sponge their bread
and butter out of those whom God, in his mys
terious wisdom, b»s seen fit to send on earth

Disgusted, by still yours,

A Nest of Scamps.
An arrest was made in this place some weeks
since, which bids fair to lead to the discovery of
a precious nest of rascals, who have been prow
ling through the South—there is no telling how
long, and with what effect—for the purpose of
robbery and plunder.
Some three months ago, two men, calling
themselves Williams, and James T. Henry,
travelling in a buggy, stopped at the house of Mr.
Joel Snelson, in this county, with whom they
exchanged their vehicle for one of but little
value, receiving the difference in cash ; they pro
ceeded to Mr P. Callaway’s, where they dined,
and when about to start on their journey after
dinner, one of the party. Henry, only having got
into the buggy, the horse took fright, ran off, and
dashed the vehicle to pieces, and fractured the
ankle of Henry in a most frightful manner.—
| The injured man was taken to the house ot Mr.
• Callaway, where, for several weeks, he received
1 every attention and kindness from the larnily,
: besides the constant care ot a physician. Wii
i liams, atter remaining with him lor a week or
! two, pretended to have urgent business in Ten
i riessee, and left, taking with him, as Henry
avers, all the money belonging to the concern,
and even the watch of the latter, though piom
i ising to be back by the time Henry got able to
; travel. He has not since made bis appearance,
■ and Henry, having recovered sufficiently to get
about, came to town some four or five weeks ago
for the purpose of taking the cars, alleged that
! he bad not a cent to pay off the various debts con
! tracted during bis confinement, but would send
; the money as soon as he got home in North Ca
rolina. There being some strong grounds tor
suspicion, he was arrested UDder a bail process,
and lodged in jail, where he remains up to the
present time. Upon c< rnmitment, a large bunch
of talse keys was found about his person, and
other facts came to light soon after that proved
him extensively connected with a band of thieves
that are now infesting the country. Since his
confinement, he has been corresponding fre
quently with one John Benton , of Nashville,
Tenn., tor the purpose of procuring money for
relief from his present confinement. Unfortu
nately tor him the money did not come, and
John Benson, (who is no doubt his friend Wil
liams who accompanied him to this county.) was
arrested some days ago in Nashville, as will be
seen by the following paragraph from the Whig
of that city.
Another Thief Arrested. —Two officers
have succeeded in arresting another wholesale
thief, whose prospects lor the Penitentiary are
extremely flattering. John Benson alias Joha
Riley, &c., was caught in their toils on Saturday
night. In his trunk was found between seven
and eight hundred dollars in go'd and silver, a
; portion of which was recognized as the money
' stolen from Morgan & Co. In another trunk
' was found a lull set of burglar’s tools, from a
wire lock pick to a horse halter. On his way to
jail it was supposed he relieved himself ot his
portemonie, as one was found on the stairway of
the Recorder’s office containing a SIOO South
Carolina note, counterfeit, which was also iden
tified by Morgan & Co., as among the money
stolen from them. Other papers in the port
monie proved that it belonged to him.— Nashville
Whig.
We are glad to know that both of these ras
cals are in safe custody with a good prospect of
punishment for their villainy.
For the intormation of the public we state that
Henry (who, doubtless, has as mauy aliases as
his friend Bensou) is, apparently about 25 or 26
years of age, 5 feet 7 inches in height, spare built,
with dark hair and eyes, and weighs about 130
jibs. Perhaps some one who has suffered from
! his exploits, may recognize him from this de
scription.— Washington (Ga.) Republican , lUh

Death of Captain John Hunter.
This good old man expired at his residence in
: this city last evening, about five o’clock, after a
somewhat lingering illness, aged eighty seven
years. We are not enough acquainted with his
history to write many particulars of his lile,
which has been a long and eventful one. He
was born at South Shields, England, and lor
some time was a seaman in the British navy.—
We have often heard him recount the incidents
of his service, and among other battles he fought
under Nelson in the engagement off the Nile
when Bonaparte’s great fleet was entirely de
stroyed.
Capt. H. had resided about thirty years in Da
rien and Savannah, and during that time had of
ten been entrusted by his fellow citizens with
| responsible offices, all of which be filled with
honor. His strict integrity and unwavering
l truthfulness won for him the respect and confi
| dence of every person with whom he was ac
quainted, and we think he filled to the utmost
the measure of an honest man. His life was dis
tinguished by acts of kindness and good will to
his fellow creatures, and we believe he leaves
no enemy.
Capt. Hunter was a man of benevolent feel
ings, ever ready to give to the extent of his
means. The subject in which he took most in
terest after his own personal affairs, was Free
Masonry, and he had taken most of the degrees
known to the Masonic Order, and had filled ma
ny offices. For several years he was regularly
elected Deputy Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of Georgia, and only declined the honor
when his increasing infirmities prevented him
j from performing the duties of this high office to
his own satisfaction. He has lived for 44 years
with his present wife, whom he now leaves
with two grand daughters and a large circle of
friends to mourn his loss.— Savannah Republican,
15th inst.
Clark Mills.— We regret to find the sub-
I joined poragraph in the Washinton Union of Sat
urday.
“ We are pained to hear that the establish
ment of this distinguished artist has been visit
ed with a calamity by which he suffers severe pe
cuniary loss, and which will delay the completion
of the great works which he had commenced—
the equestrian statues ot Washington and Jack
son. Yesterday afternoon, whilst his furnace
was in full blast,the loof, from some unexplained
cause, took fire, and, nothwithstanding great ef
forts were made to save the model of the statue
ot Gen. Jeckson and the building, they were, in
an incredibly short time, destroyed by the flames.
Several casting of the statue hsd been taken and
placed outside of the foundry, and were saved.
The loss sustained by this fire is estimated at six
to ten thousand dollars, and the destruction of
the model tor the statue is particularly to be re
gretted, as it cannot be reproduced but with great
labor and heavy expense. There was no insur
ance on the property.
We give place to this intelligence with sin
cere regret; but, knowing the indomitable ener
gy of Mr. Mills as we do, we do not entertain a
doubt that he will arise like the fabled bird of
antiquity, and pursue his business with renewed
energy and success. He has been tried in the
furnace of affliction, but ultimately he will come
out unscathed.”
A stranger committed suicide at St Louis a
few days since, and upon his person was found a
note,ot which the following is a translation:
“I pray that whoever may find my body will
make no research, for the murderer was myself.
My name is Francis Henry de Longville, born
at Paris, April 4th, 1828. My family was ruined
by a great enterprise iu 1849. I married one of
those souls of which the world has few, and
thought ray happiness was assured. I quit my
native land with my little family in the month
ot May, and disembarked at New Orleans, July
24th, 1854. Butalas, having tasted happiness
only filteen days, a Irightfu! calamity covered us
; with mourning. My poor beloved wife was at
i tacked with the terrible cholera; atter two hours
|ol horrible suffeiing, she expired. Hardly was
she buned, when my poor little boy agt-d three
years, died of the same disease; my despair was
very great. But God had stdl left me a little
daughter of thirteen months, whose smiles gave
une new strength to resist in future, for, in this
poor little innocent, I saw all the sweetness of
her beloved mother. I asked nothing more of
God than to live for my child. But God was
pleased to strike me again, taking from me the
only good he had left me in the world. The
20th of October was the unhappy day on which
l closed the eye-lids of my last treasure. Having,
then, no consolation left, I resolved to make an
end of it. Let no one blame me, for every man
of feeling must understand what a burden lite
had become to me.”

The Telegraph.
Under the present management of the Tele
graph line between Washington and New Or
leans, it is more of a nuisance than a benefit to
the public. The cost of messages (to Editors
particularly) is heavy, and what is the benefit
We have frequently received despatches per tel
egraph for which we have to pay, when the
same information reached us by mail. So far
as the office in this city is concerned, the change
of operators is so frequent, that about the time an
operator becomes acquainted with the business
of the office, he is removed to another, and a
green hand takes his place; and it seems to us
that every new comer takes his position with
fresh instructions from head quarters, which, as a
matter of course, he carries out. But generally,
they are so different from former usages that the
public and the press were accustomed to, that
weeks elapse before they become familiar with
the regulations of the c ffice.
Our readers must not blame us for the non-ap
pearance of the “Atlantic s ’ news,in yesterday’s
paper. *A‘ new operator has been placed in out
office, and he i nformes us he has positive orders
from a Mr. Heiss, one of the Superintendents on
the line, to furnish ofily one copy to newspapers.
The despatches ts» the press in this city come di
rected to the Chronicle ; but we have taken the
trouble and expense of furnishing the Telegiaph,
Office in this city w’ith manifold paper and pen
so that two copies could be written out as easy as
one. All previous operators have done so, and
when the despatch containing the Atlantics news
was received by the Chronicle , the natural supposi
tion of the editor of that paper was, that we also
had a copy, and he did not send the dispatch over*
and thus our readers were deprived of informa
tion for which we pay a heavy price.
The way business is now managed on this
line is annoying, to say the least. The price
asked for the transmission of a despatch to New
York is heavy, but he who sends one, and pays
the price, no matter how important, cannot tell
whether it will reach its destination before a let
ter sent through the mail at a cost of three cents.
For the past two months the mail (although
itself uncertain) has been the surest route,
j We have almost come to the conclusion our
selves that the Telegraph, as at present managed,
is nothing but a costly humbug, and those who
depend on it for a speedy transmission of messa
ges will be disappointed nine times in ten, in
their delivery.
Our Banks.
In an aiticle published in Tuesday’s paper,
I commenting on the course of our Banks, we in
vited discussion on the subject, and our columns
are open to articles pro and con of moderate
length, say one column. We publish to-day a
communication signed “ Crawford ” to which
we would call the readers attention. Money is
power, but we hope never to live to see the day
when it can controll the press. The Banking
institutions of the country have had full sway
long enough, and it is time the people, (the crea
tors of them) should be enlightened how far the
trust reposed by them in granting charters, has
been carried out.
We hope “ Crawford in his next communi
cation, will designate the banks alluded to as ex
ceptions. We are willing to do justice to all,
TJhe State vs Keener.

board of Magistrates was terminated, yesterday

Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road Company.
—The annual meeting ot this company was
held at Raleigh, N. C., a few days ago. The en
tire receipts of the company for the year ending

An “Old School” Parson.— About the
time that temperance and anti-slavery began to
flourish, a committee waited on old parson Mil
ton, of Newbury port Mass., requesting him to
to advocate those causes. “Shan’t do’t!” said
the Parson of the old school, “ when you hired
me, it was to preach the gospel—now it’s rum
and niggers!”

A Clear Conscience.— The editor of the
South Boston Gazette reports that a lady of his
acquaintance says her conscience is so clear you
can see right through it.
Hogs versus Sheep.— The number of hogs
in the United States is said to exceed that of
sheep by nearly ten millions.

on board her British majesty’s ship Encounter,
at Hong Kong, having lost an arm, by an acci
dent, while firing a salute in honor of the 4th of
July, the officers and crews of the U. S, ships
Susquehanna and Vandalia, sent him a bill of
exchange, for j£2B3, which was acknowledged,
with suitable letters between, the United States
and British commanders.

[communicated.]
Mr. Gardner. —l notice, in your paper of
yesterday, some very deserved strictures on the
course pursued by the Banks of this City—and
yet severe as I have heard some pronounce them,
they are not uear so much so as they really mer t.
In the minds of the Directors of these insti
tutions, it seems that they have conceived these
monopolies to have been created, not for the
benefit of the public, nor to aid the produce of
the country on its way to a market; but as pri
vate and special instruments of extortion and
oppression—machines to expand a limited capi
tal into thrice its power, and to pass manufac
tured rags as a representative of money at a
usuance uever contemplated by the Legislature
chartering them.
Yet in your criticism there should be a just
disccimination made between those who are ob
noxious to the charges, aud those who have pursu
ed a legitimate and straight forward business.
They alone who have used their means for spec
ulative purposes, so hazardous, that such changes
as we have known in the staple of our country
more than once, and within but few years, would
have produced bankruptcy and ruin, ought to re
ceive that merited castigation which their reck
less course deserved ; but those which have kept
within the metes and bounds of a healthy busi
ness, should be named and excepted from the
general and sweeping denunciation of a deceived
community.
You, as we£ as myself, must he aware that
there are honorable exceptions, without whose
aid the mercantile portion of the ci’y would
have beer [reduced to the necessity ol seeking, m
other cities, for necessary accommodations to
carry on their business, or to have drawn their
business within the limits ol a cash capital.
But a9 I know it will be only necessary to call
your attention to the fact of such exception, to
you I leave it to give their names as an act of
justice to theqn and the people—l say people, lie
cause they ought to know which of our money
institutions are sate to hold, and which had bet
ter be first disbursed.
Charters haye been granted by the Legislature)
and privileges'conferred for the purpose of aid
ing the agricultural and mercantile community
to enter into honorable competition with other
cities, in the purchase and sale of produce and
merchandize; and so long as the capital of the
B%nk can be used safely and to advantage, within
the limits of the circle in which it is located, it
is a right which its citizens should claim, and not
sue for as & favor.
The privilege us issuing three dollars of pa
per for one representative in specie, is a great
one, and one of very doubtful propriety, and
ought only to be granted under the most strin
gent conditions. Virtually, Banks are restricted
in the amount of interest per annum, but they are
actually restrained within the limits of a legal
ized usuance; or do they, under another name,
ask and receive double of what the Legislature
marks as the proper value for the use money ?
What is the fact? Go to any ot these institu
tions, and offer them a note made by a person as
responsible as the Bank itself, payable in this
city; what answer do you receive? ‘ We are
only doing exchange;” change face of the pa
per, make it payable out of the city, so as to as
sume the character of Exchange; offer it again,
and if you are willing to allow the extra per
centage, which they demand as Exchange, you
get the mafcey eyen without the formality of a
Board. But how do you get it; not at the rate
of interest as established by the State, but at 10,
12 or 13 per cent, per annum—thk excess, to
avoid the statue, boing charged to another ac
count. And jet, all the time they are talking of
the vast accommodation they extend to the Mer
chant and Planter!
Again ; a merchant of this city, in the course
of his business, gives his note in N. York, payable
there or here, and if here, with the current rate
of Exchange. The agent of a Bank in this city,
residing in New’ York, supplied with funds, goes
into the market, and in time of pressure, buys up
the paper at 1, 1} a 2 per cent, a month, and
sends it home for collection, and the maker here
pays id at the counter of the Bank with £ per
cent, exchange and the money goes back again
to buy more or other piper. Is this Banking or
shaving? They can take but one step more de
grading, and then three balls, or a Barber's pole,
as a sign, would morefaily designate the charac
ter of the institution, than the four letters usual
ly stuck over the entrance represent. I tell you,
Mr Editor, this thing has been permitted to
slumber too long, and tbe fear of offending, and
the consequence of offence taken, has kept many
silent who have suffered, and who still suffer
from a power never intended to have been grant
ed by the State ; and it is time that some en
quiry be made, and examinations gone into, to
see it in even the lawless and open charters of
some of these institutions, enough has not been
done to werrant a call for their repeal. I con
ceive it to be part of the duty of the public press
to keep the people “posted up” upon the affairs
ot Banks, as well as upon political matters; and
if as much attention was devoted to the subject
as the interest and prosperity of the planter and
merchant demands, we would have less com
plaint of “ bard times”—with a safe filled with
good notes running to maturity—which the
Banks will not discount, because they are only
entitled to simple interest on them tor the time
they have 'o run. So that I have known a mer
chant of this city, in the usual phrase, well off,
with plenty ot notes, perfectly good when due,
having to borrow, from day to day, to keep up bis
credit and pay his notes —unable to get a dis
count trom the Bank ; when another, not worth
a cent, could borrow thousands, because he
can offer bills, payable in other cities, and be
eause he does so at a rate ol Exchange, probably
equal to the interest itself, the Bank thereby ma
king 10 or 12 percent, by the transaction.
But there is a corrective,—even outside of a
violation of their charters, —and that is in the
people. Let it be known what Baiik thus spec
ulates upon the loss of the planter— lor all this
Exchange comes out of the planter at last—and
let the planter refuse to take the bills of the Bank
for his produce, or if he takes them, let him at
once present them at the counter for payment in
specie, aud a trial of one season will settle the
question. They will be forced to fall back upon
a legitimate business, or do no business,or go in
to liquidation at once, and tbe sooner two or
three are forced to this course, the better it will
be for the community.
I have not leisure, at this time, to make such
remarks as naturally suggest themselves upon
this subject, nor to comment more at length on
the policy pursued by some of these institutions;
but will, with your permission, do so at some fu
ture day. It is enough at present to call atten
tion to the fact, that tre have Banks in name
only, which are weights upon the trade and pros
perity of our city. Hereafter it will be time
enough to say in what way the evil is to be
remedied, when an appeal can be made to the
body that created them, to restrain their power
to do evil, or abate them altogether.

who unceremoniously, Paul-Pryiah-like, popped

The case was that of a young lady who had been

and for a time believed with his predecessors that
it was a case of Prolapsus. He was, however,
soon foro'd to the conclusion that his pafient was
j offering from worms, and after much persuasion
prevailed upon her to take two doses of Dr
M Lane s v e-mifuge. This medicine had the ef
teot of removing from her a countless number of
