MACON, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24,1803.
[Correspondence of the Boston Gazette J
sl»ii'Uim!isnt at the White House. 1
President Lincoln has an Interview with
% the Spiritual Rappers.
Washington, April 23. 1563.
A few evenings since, Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States, was induced !
10 give a spiritual soiree in the crimson room I
at the White House, to teat the wonderful I
alleged supernatural powers of Mr. Charles j
K. fchoekle. It was my good fortune, ns a \
friend of the medium, to be present, the j
party consisting of the President, Mrs.’ Lin-!
coin, Mr. Welles, Mr. Stanton, Mr L——, I
of New York, and Mr. F ■», of Phila
delphia.
We took our seats in the circle at eight
o’clock, but the President was called away
shortly after the manifestations commenced
and the spirits, which had apparently as
sembled to convince him of their power,
gave visible tokens of their displeasure at
the President’s absence by pinching Mr.
Stanton’s ears, aDd twitching Mr. Welles’
beard. He soon returned, but it was some
time before harmony was restored, for the
mishaps to tne secretaries caused such bursts
of laughter that toe influence was very un
propitious. For some half hour the demon
strations were of a physical character—the
tables were moved and the picture of Henry
Clay, which hangs on the wali, was swayed
more than a foot, and two candelabras, pre
sent and by the J)ey of Algiers, to President
Adams, were raised nearly to the ceiling.
It was nearly 9 o’clock before Shockle
was fully under spiritual influence, and so
powerful were the subsequent manifestations,
that twice during the evening restoratives
had to be supplied for he was much weak
ened, and though I took no notes, I shall
endeavor to give you as faithful an account
as possible of what took place.
Loud rappings about 9 o’clock were
heard directly beneath the President’s rict,
and Mr. Shockle stated that an Indian de
sired to communicate.
j “Well, sir,’’ said the President, “I should
! be happy to hear what his Indian majesty
has to say. We have recently had a visi-
S tatiou from our red brethren, and it was
: the only delegation, black, white or blue,
which did not volunteer som| advice about
! the conduct of the war.”
! The medium then called for pencil and
| paper, and they were laid upon the table in
| sight of all. A hankerohief was then taken
1 from Mr. Stanton, and the materials were
carefully concealed from sight. In less
spice of time than it has required me to
! write this, knocks were heard and the paper
( was uncovered. To the surprise of all pres*
| ent it read as follows :
j “Haste mokes waste, hut delays cause
vexations. Give vitally by energy. Use
every means to subdue. Proclamations are
useless; make ahold front, end tight the
enemy; leave traitors at home to the care
of loyal men. Less note of preparation,
less parade and policy-talk, and more action.
Henry Knox.”
“This is not Indian talk, Mr. Shockle,”
said the President. “Who is Henry
Knox ?”
I suggested to the medium to ask who
Gen. Knox was, and before the words were
from my lips, the medium spoke in a strange
: voice: “The first Secretary of War.”
“Oh, yes, Gen. Knox,” said the Presi
dent, who turning to the secretary said :
\ “Stanton, that message is fur you; it is
| from your predecessor.”
Mr. Stanton made no reply,
j “I should like to ask Gen. Knox,” said
j the President, “if it is within the scope
! of his ability to tell us when this rebellion
will be put down.”
Iu the same manner before his message
was received :
“Washington, Lafayette, Franklin, Wil
berfoiee, Napoleau and myself have held
frequent consultations upon this point.—
There is something with our spiritual eyes
cannot detect which appear well formed. —
Evils has positions, and there are those in
retirements whose abilities should be made
useful to hasten the end. Napolean says
concentrate your forces upon one paint.—
f.aravcitc thinks that the rebellion will die
of exhaustion , LVankliu sees the end ap
proaching as the South must gi\c up. l-r
want, of mechanical ability to complete
against Northern mechanical; Wilberforce
has hope only in a negro army.” —Knox.
“Well/” said the President, “opinions
differ among the saints as well among the
sinners. They don’t seem to understand
running the machine among the celestials
much better than we do. Their talk and
advice sound very much like the talk of my
Cabinet—don’t you think so, Mr. Welles?”
“Well, I don’t know —I will think the
matter over and see what conclusion to ar
rive at.”
Heavy raps were heard and the alphabet
was called for, when “That’s what the mat
ter” was spelt out.
There was a shout of laughter, and Mr.
Welles stroked his bread.
“That means, Mr. Welles,” said the
President, “that you are apt to be long
winded, and think the nearest way home is
the longest way round. Short cuts in war
times. I wish the spirit could tell us how
to catch the Alabama.”
Qhe lights, which had ben partially low
ered almost instantaneously became so dim
I could not see sufficiently to distinguish
the feature of any one in the room, and on
the mantlepieoe, there appeared the most
beautiful, though supernatural, image evei
a sea view, the Alabama,
with all steam up, flying from the pursuit
ot another Urge steamer. Two merchant
men in the distance were seen destroyed by
hy lire ihe picture changed and the Ala
bama was seta at anchor under the shadow
0T au English fort, from which and English
Las was waving. The Alabama was float
ing idly, no? a soul on board, and r.o signs
of life visible about her. The picture van-1
ished and in letters of purple appeared,
“The English people demanded this of Lac
land’s aristocracy.” b
“So England is to seize the Alabama?”
said the President. “It may be possible ;
but, Mr. V* elies, don’t let one gunboat or
monitor less be built.”
The spirits called for the alphabet and
again “Ihat s what’s the matter,” was spelt
out.
“T I see,” said the President.—
“Mother England thinks that what is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the gander. It
may be tit for tat, too, hereafter. But it is
not very complimentary to the United Sates
navy anyhow ”
“We have done our best, Mr. President,”
said Mr. \\ elies. “I am maturing a plan
which, when perfected, I think, if it works
well, will be a perfect trap for the Alabama.”
“Well, Mr.Shockle,” remarked the Presi
dent, “I have seen strange things and heard
rather odd remarks, but nothing which con
vinces me except the pictures, that there is
anything heavenly about all this. I should
like if possible to hear what Judge Douglas
says about this war.”
“I’ll try to get his spirit,” said Mr. Shock
ley, but it sometimes happens, as it did to
lught in the case of the Indian, that though
first impressed by one spirit, I yield to an
other more powerful. Ls perfect silence is
maintained, I will see if we can induce Gen.
Knox to send for Mr. Douglas.
Three raps were given, signifying assent
to the proposition. Perfect silence was
maintained, and after an interval of perhaps
three minutes Mr. Shockle rose quickly
from his chair and stooped up behind it,
resting his left arm on the back, his right
thrust into his bosom. Iu a voice such a
no one could mistake who had ever heard
Mr. Douglas, he spoke. I shall not pretend
to quote the language. It was eloquent and
choice. He urged the President to throw
aside all advisers who hesitate about the
policy to be pursued, and to listen to the
wishes of the people, who would sustain
him at all points it' his airu was, as he be
lieved it was, to restore the Union. He
said there were Burrs and Blennerhassets
living, but that they would wither be
fore tbe po ular approval which would
follow one or two victories such as he
thought would take place ere loDg. The
turning point iu this war will be the proper
| uso of these victories —if wicked men in the
first hours of success think it time to devote
their attention to party, the war will be
prolonged, but if victory is followed up by
energetic action, all will be well.
“I believe that,” said the President,
“whether it cotnes from spiiit or human.”
I Mr. Shockle was much prostrated after
j this, and at Mrs. Lincoln’s request it was
thought best to adjourn the dance, which if
resumed, J shall give you an account of.
Yours, as ever, Mentor.

The Richmond Sentinel of the 30th ulti
mo discusses the question pi easing, at this
time, with so much weight upon the public
mind, as to what kind of retaliation should
be adopted towards the enemy for his treat
ment of citizens of the Confederate States
who may be embraced within his lines, and
presents sonic very pertinent and wise con
siderations, which we give below :
“The enemy, by simultaneous manifesta
tions at various and distant points, evidence
that a regular system of savage outrage has
been determined upon against our citizens
who may be embraced within their military
lines. The order has gone out from Wash
ington, and it is to be executed at Ncwbern
at New Orleans, aC Murfreesboro, aud Nash
ville, iu Northwest Virginia, and to some
extent in various other places; with intima
tions that soon it shall be universal and un
sparing.
By virtue of this order , npn-enmlisflbinf.
ljL _ t ...u aguu, me helpless, the deli
cate women aud the innocent children, down
to the prattling babe, are expelled from their
.aes, and thrust among strangers. It is
none without even an attempt to prove that
the person thus expelled have committed
aDy breach of military rules. It is done
against persons who could not if they would
have committed an offence.
“This sentence of banishment is enforced
in the most barbarous manner. Ladies are
ordered to leave their homes at a few hours
notice. They aae compelled to leave theis
means of support behind them. They are
allowed to take of their wardrobe stores,
sixty pounds weight ; and of money a hun
dred dollars. Nothing more I Dragged
away from their quiet houses, and the com
forts which a lifetime of indurtrious house
wifery has gathered about them, aud forced
to leave all to be seized and pillaged b} the
armed robbers and theives who obey orders
from Washington, they are conducted far
away by a rude ond jeering guard with or
ders not to return on pain ot death.
“This sentence of spoliation aud banisu
ment, executed without either proof oi alle
gation of guilt against persons many of whom
are incapable of guilt, comes from a (xovern
meut that claims to be the rightful ruler,
and, therefore, the natural and sworn protec
tor of those whom it so barbarously outra
etf. It thus abdicates whatever authority
it might have supposed itself to possess, by
declaring even babes and invalids out of its
protection, and waging war upon them.
“Not only does the United States Gov
ernment wholly dishonor any aud all pre
tence to claim to rightful authority here,
by the course we have referred to, bur it
places itself out of the pale of civilized war.
Its practices are utterly lorbiddeu by those
conventionalities which ail humane nations
have agreed to observe as proper alleviations
of the miseries of war. It is not necessary
to ci'.c tuc authorities to establisu a point so
obvious and now universally admitted.
>\ hat are we to do with these homeless
plundered <%iles ? Receive them kindly of
course. The citizens of the Confederacy
must fling wide their doors and divide their
cheer with them. Everj purse p.ud every
heart must be open to them. We must re
ceive them warmly aud geucrously, as the
citizens of Mobile received the expelled
citizens of New Orleans.
“But what should our Government do in
response to this demoDical outrage of our
enemies? A hundred, who have kept them
selves out of harm’s way ever since the war
began—who never saw au armed Yankee,
aud never smelt his powder—will cry out
precipitately, “raise the black flag.” ” Per
haps it will come to that. Perhaps other
issues already fixed upon us by our eoeuiies
will bring us to that. We look for it almost
any day.
“In reference to this new policy of bru
tality, we think we should begin by appeal
ing to the civilized world. The nations of
the earth will hear u«. They do not iecog
nize us as a nation, but they do as a beli^cr
— . ' » G
ent. It is oh a belligerent that we now Cum
plain. Lincoln is transcending the right of
a belligerent. He is employing methods
permis-ble only among savages. We should
not appeal to the Camanches or tin# fdoux
against him, though even they would doubt
less be ashamed of him. But we may and
should call upon Eugland and France, to say
whether they consider such atrocities allow
able. We should demand of them whether
their character as Ohiistiaa nations brings
any duties with it. And if, indeed, the gen
eral sentiment and physical power of Chris
tendom is inadequate to the task of repress
ing barbarisms within the geographical limits
iof civilization, let us ut least demand the
nations of the earth that they hold us guilt
less, aud so record it on the pages of history,
j when we, too, shall raise the cry of “no
quarter to the foe,” as raise it we must and
will.
We should also, by open proclamation,
give warning to Lincoln, and those who do
his bidding in these barbarious measures,
that we hold them as having absolved us
from all the rules and obligations of war.—
For such retaliatory treatment, as in our dis
cretion we may determine to inflict, there
wiil be needed and given neither further ex
planation nor warning; and we will, by all
necessary measures in our own discretion
and at our own pleasure, take care that they
shall not gain by barbarities, what they con
fess they cannot secure by courage and prow
ess.
“We understand the miserable coward
ideas onqwhich the foe is acting. Indeed,
he is shameless enough to confers them.—
His superior equipments, bis ships his for
eign soldiers, his negro allie?, on which he
has successively trusted / and been success
ively disappointed, are now replaced in his
calculations by the attempt to starve our
womeu aud children 1 God shall smite such
uncommon villains, as make us his instru
ments to do so. In vain they will practice
such barbarities as the plunder and exile of
these helpless ones. Such deeds cannot pros
per or go unavenged."

Tremendous E>e«aocraiic Con*
relation.
The greatest meeting ever held in this
city was that of the Democracy on Wednes
day evening. It numbered thirty thousand
men, including all the fighting elements of
the city, manifesting such an unmistakable
bitterness of hostility against the adminis
tration as have never been witnessed before
in the history of the United Statp= ' ru '
enthusiasm was up t“ rne tpxpr P olu • ,
...u opposition to the objects ot the
meeting, or the right to hold it, would have
exploded a mine and let loose a volcano.
The most singular phase of this meeting
was the absence of the Democratic political
leaders. They were opposed to it, and kept
aloof- The sickly weekly papers represent
ing Tammany Hall were agiinst it. Yet,
the rank and file ot the Democracy were
there, not only the men of Mozart Hall, but
the whale legion of the Tammany section ;
all agreed that “failure’' was written on the
brow of the Administration, and that it was
high time to stop the war “Peace" is
henceforth the platform of the Democracy.
Stocking Factory. —There is establish
ed at No. 14, Richardson street, by John
Judge A Cos., a factory for making stockings.
We have had the curiosity to look in upon
it, and found five machines running day and
night managed by females and others en
gaged in reeling off the yarn, others in fin
ishing and a number of operatives (men)
making and repairing needles and other im
plements, Mr. Judge courteously explained
the workings of the machines, and informed
us that he kept about GO persons employed
iu the factory, and about 420 in different
towns and villages in this State and North
Carolina, within easy reach, in finishing.—
This establishment is doing a good work for
the country in turning out from 1,200 to
1,500 pairs of socks a day for soldiers. —

Oar latest accounts frro Vickabun at
down to the 29th of M,j ( Friday las?, ,t
which tmio the prospec sos the siege w:
“still enoouragiug.” \V O llliuk the is , M
must be determined now within a very few*
days; that the garison is holding out in ex
pectation of a rescue by Gen. Joe Johnston,
and that sh utd lie fail to come up w.hin
the appointed time the city will be surren
dered.
W hen Pemberton was driven iu behii and
his entrenchments Johnston assured him
that it he could hold out tor fifteen and, \ s a
hundred thousand meu would be br ,u h
*o bis support. On Friday last ten of tb 3 c
hfteen days had expired, aud ail the cffi.rr<
ot Gen. Grant to penetrate the enemy s
workß had beou repulsed. Meantime, Geu.
Johnstou, who, iu the sweeping advance of
Geu. Grant, had been driven northward
from JacksoD, with some live or six thous
and men, had returned to that city with a
force repotted at fifteen tbousaud." Doubt
less this increase of his nucleus of an army
was made up troiu odds and ends of Pemi r
ton’s forces, scattered about to the right aud
left behind by Gen. Grant in his pursuit
ot Pembertou to \ icksburg. We may next
hear from Mobile, Charleston, Savannah,
aud irom Bragg’s army in Tonncsse, larger
accessions have beeu joining John ton.—
But, from the destruction of the enemy’s
stores at Jackson aud Yazoo City, from the
dangers done to thedr lines of communica
tion, and from the exhaustion of their sup
plies over a great extent of country around
Jackson, we think it most likely that John
ston will not get his army or his provisons
iu season to fulfil his promise to Pembertou
Ihe result at V icksburg is evidently now
reduced to a question of reinforcements ——
We know not what the government bag
been doiDg to strengthen Geu. Grant; but
we know that it had time enojgh, men en
ough within reach, aud facilities enough to
strengthen him to the extend of at least
25,QU0 men. Sould he, in default of rein
forcements, be compelled to raise the
ot Vicksburg, the administration will be
held to a terrible responsibility. The ]
pie of the loyal States believe, and the it •
els know, that with the fall of Vicks: urg
the whole tabric of the rebellion beg;.:
to crumble to pieces. The prize is within
our grasp, and we can only lose it through
the negligence or imbecility of the military
authorities at Washington. We rely, h .v
ever, upon Gen. Grant, from hisown resoul
ces, necessary, to wind up his glorious Mis
sissippi campaign in the crowding victory
of the war.
Our latest intelligence from Port Hudson
is to effect tbat while Gen. Hanks, fnnn tho
north side, had reached the rear of that
stronghold, he had reached the rear of th.-t
stronghold, he hud been joined by Colonel
Grierson’s cavalry from the south side, ate .
the destruction by that officer of a rebel
camp and depot the enemy’s supplies a!- i >
his line of march. We hope next to h i
that General Banks and Admiral Farrago'
have settled their accounts with Port Hud
son in season to make another movement
which will com; el General Joe Johnston to
move to the relief of Mobile instead of
Vicksburg, for he is charged with the de
fonco of both places, and if the one cannot,
be saved he must move in time to the de
fence of the other.
The New York World, under the head of
“Excitement in the City,” says :
The news received yesterday of the depre
dations committed by the Alabama and
Florida created much alarm and anxiety iu
commercial circles iu the city. Fears are
moreover entertained that by this time the
consort of the Alabama —the new steamer
called the Virginia —will shortly be cruising
in their company, and the value of Ameri
can property upon the high seas are becom
ing daily more precarious
Abolition papers estimate the amount of
property destroyed by the Alabama and

dollars. When we take into account tho
injury these cruisers have done to the ship
ping interests of Lincolndom, by the increas
ed rates of insurance and the number of
vessels that lie rotting at their quays, tlm
amount of lsss sustained by the depiedationa
of these gallant ships is swollen to a fright
ful sum.
From Below. — Wo continue to her ru
mors of the euemy’s invasion of the coun
try below Richmond, and have the following
from reliable source :
The Yankee gunboats, two in number,
first went up the Chickahommy on Thurs
day evening, then returned down the river,
and taking in tow seven transports laden
with pontoons aod infantry, proceeded up
the Jame 9. An iron-clad preceded them,
vigorously shelling the woods on either sido.
They landed at Lamb’s wharf, in Charles
City county, and disembarked the troops,
who marched to Apperson’s depot, plunder
ing on the way. They numbered 1,450,
and had neither cavalry nor artillery. Tho
object of the expedition was to steal negroes,
burn agricultural implement-’, and arre-t
citizen? loyal to the South. It is repor ed
that after doing all possible damage to the
country, the expedition has returned to tbo
river and embarked for new scenes ot opera
tions. This is in accordance with the “star
vation plan" of subjugating the South ad~
opted by the Wki?
