President, Mrs. Lincoln Mr Wells Air. Stanton, Mr. L. of New York I and Mr. E of Philadelphia. Wet 'Okl ; our seats in the circle a’obut 8 o'clock but J i the President was called away shortly I ' after the manifestations eomnieneed, and the spirits, which had sypareptly assem-1 ! bled to convince us of their power gave I ‘ r isible tokens of their displeasure at the ' Prescient's absence by pinching Mr. Stan , ton s ears and twitching Mr. Well’s whis ' kers He soon returned but it was some i time before harmony was restored for the , I nihhnps of the Secretaries caused such I j bursts of laugter that the influence was I very imwopitiohs Per'half an hour the i .demonstrations of|physicaleharac- I J U-r< —tables were moved and the picture . of Henry Clay that hangs against the wall 'wa. swayed more than a foot and two j ' can 'ehibras piesented by the Dey of Al- i i giers to President Adams, were raised ■ncady to the celling Il was nearly nine o’clock before Shoe- j kk was fully under spiritual influence and ' so powerful were the subsequent rnanifes- ■ j tatiojis th it twice during the evening re-1 storalivtjs were applied, for he was much i weakened and though I took no notes, 1 shall endeavor to give you as faithful an ‘ account as possible of what took jilace du- ! ’ ring the evening. Loud rappings were heard about uine ' o’clock directly beneath the president’s feet and Mr Shockle stated that an Indian ■ desired to communicate. ‘Well sir, said the President I should be happy to hear what his Indian Majes- I 'tv has to say. We havw recently had a ' visitation from our red brethren, and it; ■ was the only delegation, black, white or - blue which did not volunteer some advice on the conduct of the war.’ I The medium then called for pencil and I i papier and they were laid upon the table I lin sight of all. A handkerchief was then 1 taken from Mr Stantonpmd the materals i 1 carefully concealed from sight. In less i space of time than it has required me to I I write this knocks were heard and .the pa-1 per was uncovered. To the surprise of all present it read as follows.

I ‘Haste makes wxrte, but delays cause vexations. Give vitality by energy- Use every means to subdue. Proclamations ' are useless; make a bold'front and fight the enemy; leave traitors at home to the i care of loyal men. Less note of preparai non less parade and polity, talk and more action. Henry Knox [- ‘ThaJt is not Indian talk Mr Shockleex Gaitned f ho is Henry I Knox. < rw*’* i I suggested to the medium to ask who i !

was received: Washington, Latayettte Wilberforce, i Napoleon and myself have held frequent ■ consultations upon this point. There is . , something which our spiritual eyes can-] i not detect which appear well formed.- —! : Evil has come at times by removal of' . men from high positions, and there are ‘ those in retirement whose abilities should , I be made useful to hasten the end. Napo. < ; lerrn says concentrate your forces upon I otre pbint', Lafayette thinks that the rebel, - lion will die of exhaustion, Franklin sees; . the end approaching as the South must give up for want of mechanical ability to i compete against Northern mechanics, I j W ilberforce sees hope only in a negro army- . ' .. i Well exclaimed the president opinions will differ among the saints as well as among the sinners. They dont seem to understand running the machine among, the celestials much better than we do.— ■ Their talk and advice sounds very much like the talk of my cabinet—dont you : think so Mr Wells?’ ! i ‘Well I don’t know—l will think the j matter over and see what conclusion to I arrive at | . Heavy raps were heard and the alphabet was called for when ‘That’s what’s the matter,’ was spelled out. There was a shout ot laughter, and Mr | Wells stroked his beard. That means said the President that you are apt to belong winded and think that the nearest way home is the longest way round. Short cuts in war times. I wish j the spirits could tell us how to catch the! Alabama ’ The lights which had been partially 1 lowered almost instantaneously became so ' dim that I could not see sufficiently to . I distinguish the features of any person in : the room and on the large mirror appeari ed the most beautiful picture ever beheld llt represented a sea view, the Alabama , with all steam up, flying from the pur- j . suit of another large ste»mer. T wo meri chantmen in the distance partially des ■ troyed by fire. The picture changed, i the Alabama was seen floating at the i ; shadow under an English fort—from j I which the English flag was waving—the' i Alabama was floating idly, not a soul on I i board. The picture vanished and in let-1 I ters of purple appeared ‘the English de-' ; manded this of England's aristocracy.' ‘So England is to seize the Alabama fi-1 1 naly said the president. It may be po.ssi- ; ble, but Mr. Welles don’t let one gunboat : I or Monitor less be built ’ ‘Well Mrtthockle remarked the Presi-I ' dent, I have seen strange sights and ■ j beard od remarks, but nothing which I I convince me except the picture that there ■ li4 anything heavenly about all this. I : thould like if possible to hear what Judge i Douglas says about the war. i I’ll try to get up the spirits, said Mr. ' Shockle; but it somtimes happens as it I did to night in the case of the Indian that' i though first impressed by one spirit, 11 I yield to another more powerful. If per- ■ I feet science is maintained I will see if we I ■ cannot indue* Gen Knox to eend for Mr. ; Doug 1 as. Three raps were given signifying as-1 sent to the proposition. Perfect silence ! was maintained and after an interval of' perhaps three minutes, Mr Shockle rose quickly from his chair and stood up be- , hind it and in a voice su ch as no one - ■ could mistake who had evej heard Mr ■ Douglas he spoke. ‘I shall not pretend to quote the lan- i 1 guage. It was eloquent and choice. He i urged the president to ihrow aside all ad- ■ visers who hesitated about the policy to be. ■ pursued, and to listen to the wishes of the I I people who would sustain him at all t points if his aim was to preserve the Un- ; ion. If wicked men in the first hours of; ' success think it time to devote their atten ' tion to party the war will be prolonged ; but if victory is followed up by energetic . ' action al) will yet be well ‘I believe that said the president,; whether it comes from a spirit or human. Mr Shockle was much prostrated after this, and ’at Mrs Lincoln’s request it wes i thought best to adjourn the scene which ( if resumed I shall give an account oi. Yours as ever, Meitox.

Among th» p**«engers from Napoleon wa» a solemn look- ; ing gentleman, Who had all alon/ been taken for a preacher. Abmtt nine o’clock ; lart night I wa« conversing with the reverend individual, when a young man ! stepped up and addres»iug him, r*m>irked: ‘We're goin to have a wedding,; . and would like to have you officiate-’ All i ! right sir,’ he replie.l, laughingly, and we stepped into the ladi**' cabin, when, sure enough the couple stood witting. .There had several mock marriages gone (through with during tbe evening, and I supposed this was merely a continuation of the sport; and »o thought the preachI er, who, I could see. had a good dea' of ; humor in him, and was inclined to promote general good feeling and merriment i The couple stood up before h'm—a good deal more solmen than was necessary in a mock marriage, I thought—-and the I 'preacher' naked the necetsary questions, ; ; and then, proceeding in the usual way. i pionounced Ahem husband and wife,’, There was a good deal of fun afterward, . j an<T when it was over I left the cabin | and »o dij the preacher,’ who remarked ; to me that he liked to see the young folks enjoying themavlvva and took a good ideal of pleasure in contributing to their f un —but he did not understand, why they selected him to aet the preacher. Just then some one called me aside, and the old gentleman stepped into his, stateroom, which was next to mine. i When I returned the door stood open, | and the preacher’ stood just inside with. ; hit coal apd vest off, and nne boot in I his hand, talking whir- the gentleman > who had played the attendant,' and who i as I came up remarked: ‘Well if that’s i the case it is a good joke for thev are in ; dead earnest and have gone to the same J ■ stMeroom.

The whole cabin was aroused every, ■ stateroom flying open with !t slim, | when the door opened, and the Arkan- ; ! sas traveler,' poking out his head cooly . , remarked: Old hoss you’re ton late.' - — - How Moiquivoe are Manx.— A writer ;in California fnrniahes a contemporary with the following account of tbe origin of the mosquito. He says: The mosquito piocteds from the ani- I ; raalculae commonly termed the wiggle tail.’ I took a bowl of clear cold water ; land after a few days some - wiggle tails,’ were visible these continued ito increase in size til! they were about 1 3-16ths of an inch in length.

Here in a few hours I perceived a short black luz or hair growiag out on every side of each unit! rt asrismed the form of a minute caterpillar. And thus its specific gravity being cmiti- ' teracted or lightened it readlv floated to 1 the surface and the slightest breath of sir wafted it again the side of the bowl. In a very brief space of time afterwards, the atmosphere hatched out the fly, and it ‘ escaped leaning its tiny house upon the , water. How beautiful, yet how, simi pl*After the water had gone through this ■ process I found it perfectly free from ani- , malculae.

The special‘deputy Went ifito a house to make the enrollment, -when it is reported that a party of tome ten per l sons arose in a wheel field near by and fired npon Mr. Stevens and Mr Claytield who Were sitting in a buggv, kill mg the former and mortally wounding the latter. The special dvputy was also fired at but he esbnyed unhurt. The parties who made the assult' are net re- ; cognized, exceptons person, and it *» *x pected that he can be identified. A cavalry company, under the command, of General Mansfield, was sent to Mnntlhi last night to arrest the guilty parties lo this outrage i< possible and we have ! every confidence that General M. will I discharge the duty entrusted to him with prudence discretion and sagacity, and; we hope he may be successf-ul in hi* mission. 1 As wa hare ever been we are yet the' ; advocate of law and order. However objectionable lhe conscript act may be to any portion of the people as a- question of principle or policy is it nevertneAes* a ;™w of the land until pronououed ul’io<St'iIstiltMional by thu judicial tribunal*, or J constitutionally repealed.

We deprecate every infringe ment of law a* aa evil' to be avoided and } counsel agniiist any forcible resistance ito the laws of the land. We should j prevent if possible the terrible evils arid ! desolations, which, civil, war, occa- ; stons. We pray, Heaven, that we. iu } Indiana, may be spared so great a c*h- ' amity. ; Uol, Baker, the Provoat Marritnl of the Slate advise* us that in any event I the conscription in Indiana will he light. He assures us that so far as he ia con cerned every precaution shall be taken jto make tho conscription fair. Only an 1 enrollment is now being mad*, and we} j most sincerely hope there may be no | necessity for a conscription. If our : force ere successful la over throwing the armre* of lhe Rebel* there will not be. ; Whatever resistance there may be lo lhe law, as in the case upon which we are commenting it is an individual affair., I Tbe responsibility which m*y arise in such ccses is personal and those who aet at naught law and order must expect to suffer the penalties of their fofoingetnent We want quite and order au I pence in | our bortiers, and tbe way to et-euee these results is lo obev lhe law* while they ; .remain upon '.he stotute book*. ! We most sincerely regret the untimely and violent end of Mr. S'evens. He may i have been an extreme partisan in sen- 1 ; timent but a casual acqusHHaow led us . to believe he was a quite atoi inoffensive ' ; citizen. We hope that in nowise he pro- ' ; voked this terrible calamity. To sup[>ort the government’ with abolitionists used to mean to swear by A- - and to stand by his policy.— and all who did not join in singing songs of praise to lhe administration were de- ; nouuced s» traitors,” Now. to support i the government, means to swear at A- , braham, and to abuse him for his policy in rescinding Burnside's order suppressing democratic newspapers, and all who' 'do not, do this are “traitors.” Verily, jis this, “change of base,” a '‘mil- ' itary, necessity,” or do circumstances.: alter cases?—[Fort Wayne Times and I Union. n tri June ?Oth.
