During a recent visit to Georgetown, in this State, we encontered a strange,deluded kind of being who has imbibed the novel and prepos terous notion that he was "ordained from all eternity to judge and justify the world." His views in regard to the approach of the millenium differ essentially with those of Parson Mil ler only in this; that he himself is the Parson's superior, and can alone reveal the time of the contemplated destruction of sinners. He frank ly admits that Miller is a good clever sort Apostle, and that he is fulliling tlie mission which he was appointed, but that tor him is re served the duty of disclosing the "truth," the honor and glory of "judging all the nations of the earth." We confess we felt some curiosity to learn upon what date the creed of Uim new prophet was rounded, which prompted us to propound various emiuiries, many of which he answered. by reciting passages from the scriptures. Like Miller he believes the earth is to be cleans ed by fire, but limits the time to the first liecemoer next; nai unrisi anu nis sanus t i ni. -.t then take possession of the earth and dwell 00 therein forever. He seems confirmed in the opinion that he is the Holy Ghost, and that on 33 00 00 00 50 37 32 66 the day of judgment, which fixes immediately preceding the final consummation, "he will take his seat between the tather and the son to judge all people according to their works." Those who would survive time and rejoice in the commencement of the new era of eternity with me, must believe on me, otherwise I will
banish them forever," saith the new prophet;)

of authority. He is seldom seen without his bible, is very studiously inclined, and appears

A NIGHT IN A COFFIN.
We were in the Russell Glover, on the pass-
tf'J do:age from ISew ork to this place. The ni"ht
100 00 j was beautiful, and the gallant vessel ploughed 18 OOjher golden path over the bosom of the star-stud-24 O0(ded sea, as gracefnily as the belle when she 47 01) tips the ball-room floor. One old lady, after 214 OOjcommuning with the blue waters for about an 1)8 00: hour, broke out in a phrenzy of gratitude after 41 00 the following manner ; 'Well,' said she, looking 8 50 : obliquely at the swelling sails, "I don't believe 200 00, that we're agoing more than two hours a knot 3G0 20( this blessed night; but only to think of the 73 40, goodness of Providence, in makin this great 80 50 big sea and puttin salt in it to keep it all the 68 4S,time fresh!"
43 00 j This philosophical observation caused a gen86 00 eral laugh, and Socrates in petticoats played
the snarlmg cynic during the rest of the evening. A group of us were gathered round a j small table in the gentleman's cabin, each onei telling Ins quota of 'hair-breadth 'scapes," and adventures by flood and field. We were then
120 00 in the Gulf Stream just abreast of Havanna, and 40 00 that fact being casually remarked, one of the 4S0 00; passengers who had not smiled during theeve413 00 ning, took his cigar out of his mouth, and said 110 00 . he "wished to contribute his share to the amuse, 10 00 ' ments of the evening. " 46 00 j "In 1827, business called me to this city we 47 00 were just passing. I had been there not more 280 00 than two weeks, when I found myself attacked 18 00 by that most dreaded of all scourges, the small 900 00 , pox. 1 had every attention that care and the
i kindness of strangers could bestow; but in spite of all, at the and of five days, the attendant physician gave me up for lost. Until this time I . had never thought of death.but when this inteli ligenee reached me.l clung more eagerly to life than ever. The million rays of thoughts that rushed with their swift wings through my bewildered brain, formed one grand focus that was life! And I had a right to live, gentlemen, for but a few months before I had manied a young girl, and she and her aged mother were entirely dependent upon me for a support. On the evening of the sixth day, 1 recollect that I dreamed of my wife and home, and all that on earth was dear to me. Then I sunk 50 into sweet sleep, and then existence seemed to 00 be blootted from my mind. There was one 00 sensation that I recollect, however, and that 00 was a feeling of darkness. All was a black, mo40 notouous void, and then the first approaching 00 life was made known to me by a coldness that 0 seemed to enterevery pore of my system. I 00 I opened my eyes, and my first thought was that 00 1 1 was blind, for I knew that this distressing 00affliction was often the product of this disease. 00, Then I threw mv arms upwards, and from w some obstacle they were thrown heavily upon my breast. I felt encompassed on all sides by a warm moist wall of wood suddenly all my senses came to me in their full vigor I recollected that I had smelt something that which I then inhaled whenever I stood by the dead big drops of perspiration stood upon my brow, and in an instant the horrid thnusht flashed - Uipon me, that I was in my coffin! Oh God! I may have sinned; but that one thought was lawful enough to have repaid a life of crime: - 1 Perhaps I was in my grave down deep in the of ground, and I recollected that I had heard of for nien being buried in pits laid crosswise and - lengthwise of each other and that when they and decayed, their bones were used for manure. A thousand such thoughts as these flashed ouicker than the lightning across my tortured brain, and with one mad shriek I sprung up1 wards, and there was light! tif ,,,., rminii nnA : a moment or two I ir Jlhat was ,n a church.

"I quickly assured him of mv being a man of flesh and blood like himself, although at first he did not seem disposed to believe me, and then he related to me how I had been supposed to be dead; that I was brought to church by my friends about four hours before, and that at daylight the next morning, had it not been for the interposition of the Holy mother, near whose picture my coffin stood, I would have li n to The Wife.

"New-Brcnswick, N. J., March 1, IS 13." j "My time has been, and is now, very much occupied in operating on the sick and suffering. Perhaps you will smile when I tell you that I have on many occasions, been called to opei ate on patients that the Doctors could give no relief to; and they have been relieved by what they are pleased to call my "healing hands." On one occasion I was called to consult with a physician. I had ell preperationsmade to leave yesterday, but was engaged one week by a young lady who has been very deaf about five years. Since I have commenced to operate, she improves a little. I was called this evening to examine a boy who has been deaf about the same length of time. I put him to sleep in two minutes, then operated on his cars, and in less than 43 minutes, lie could hear a very low voice at a distance which before would require a loud voice. If he continues to improve as much by to-morrow, he will be fully cured. But I assure j'ou that I have fought a hard fight; for when I came here the public mind was strongly prejudiced against it, and looked upon it as a 'humbug;' but I stated to them the first night, that as I had commenced, I was de termined to establish the truth of it before I left, I have done so. I have received a favorable re port from a committee appointed to investigate the subject. Since I came here I have magnetised 13. one of them a member of the committee, and there is now a number of good magnetizers in the place. In applying magnetism for disease, I do not find it necessary to put all I in a mesmeric sleep; for I have magnetised a foot and a pplied burnt alum to destroy proud flesh without the patient feeling the least pain Perhaps there has not been a man in NewBrunswick in a long time, that has raised such an excitement as your humble servant; not that I have resorted to any thing on purpose, but feelings of almost every one is enlisted on one side or the other; and I assure you that the contest has been, and yet continues, hot and heavy. I have many very warm friends, and zealous opposers. home look, upon me as a grand lmposter some as an arch emissary of his satanic majesty, by whose aid I perform my wonders,
But there is many an old woman as I pass along On motion of R. Chambers, there was a corngive me a 'God biess you, for curing my head- mittee of five appointed to nominate suitable
ache," &c.&c. There are a number of subjects in this town that I have magnetized, andean when they are standing 2o feet from me, draw them to me by the motion of my hands, when they are at thc same time awake bracing themselves to their utmost. When they start to come to me, they seem impelled along with great force, aftd run with great speed. I can likewise magnetize their organs on the head, when awake, and make them act out to the full extent as if they were asleep. 1 can in stantly paralizc their tongue, cars, eyes, or limbs, so that they cannot speak, hear, shut or open their eves, (as the case may be) or walk. I have magnetised a glass of water, given it to man, and by its influence, rendered him 'mortal' drunk. I have likewise by half a glass of water, put a man into a sound magnetic sleep, and then had him describe houses and persons in Michigan City as accurately as if he was on the spot. These are larjie stories, but I pledge vou my word and honor that I have stated noth ing to you but the truth, and to you and those who knew me in Michigan City, I trust that sufficient."

Of course the resolution was voted down: but mark one fact! So fearful was that locofoco Legislature of the propagation of the withering Report of the minority that they actually refused to print it, by a vote of 30 to 36! What a commentary upon the cor ruptibility of the clam party! Afraid and well they might be to let the people of Pennsylvania read the proofs of the Locofoco Governor's infamy!! A Good Joke.
