Q3* The Charleston Globe complains because the Press of our city have not noticed the fact that arrangements have been made by which the com pletioii of the Alton railroad would be effected, certainty in three years. We are included among those whom he charges aa being remiss in our duly in this respect. So far as we are concerned, the editor has either not read our paper, or he ha* willfully misrepresented us. We copied in one of our lat« issues, an article from the Alton Telegraph to tha effect that arrangements bad been made, dec. The address by Mr. Ryder, the President of the Road, we published, with comments upon the utility and general benefits which would accrue to the country from in completion, The "Globe" sure' ly doaa noS want us to be hud and boisterous in the advocacy of this road in exclusion of all others. We irual that the Alton road will soon be completed, and that benefits will accrue to tha Public from its completion, not anticipated oven by its moat sanguine friends.

We ire efthblo to cull anythinga of intereat to -Mir readers in regard to the proceedings of the flegislature. Both booses are apparently busy a xreat many bills, resolutions dso. are constantly introduced, referred to committees, passed a second reading, or otherwise disposed of. An adjournment ia contemplated by the 20tb of this month. The following summary we clip from the Journal of Wednesday.

SEXATS.

June 1 —Petitions on temperance, and

in favor of the State purchasing a certain fire engine presented. Various bilk were reported back and laid on the table. A bill waa introduced providing for the organisation of county boards. Bill making some general provisions in relation to rail roads, ordered to be engrossed. Bill to carry in* effect the thirteenth article of the constitution. pa»s ed 30 to 15. The consideration of the school bill occupied the residue of the forenoou.

In the afternoon, the school bill was ordered to be engrossed, 24 to 22. Bill for repealing city charter failed on its third reading, 12, to 32. House bills to eularge the Insane Hospital for destruction ol wolves to provide for the sale of county Seminaries concerning tresspasing animals, dtc.. passed. Bill for sinking cistern in Capitol Square pas:-ed, was reconsidered, and referred to a select committee.

HOOSE.—A

Alternoon a bill for the incorporation of cities was read a first time. A number of bids was read a second time, considered as iu committee of^ the whole and appropriately disposed of. Mr. Stanfield moved to take up the general assessment bill carried. He then moved to commit the bill with instructions. Numerous amendments were offered lo the instructions and a lengthy debue arose on au amendment of Mr. Hudsou to tax railroad stock iu the counties where the owners thereof may reside, which occupied the house during a greai part of the al'ternooui

It seems that the Judge's mind has been excer cised of late upon s|-iriiualism, and by dwelling upon the subject become an impressible medium. In this condition he had interviews with the ghosts ol Frauklin. William Penn. Sir Isaac Newton, and Swedenburgh What is very ourious. Sir Isaac was still engaged in consider ing the laws of gravitation, and Fiankliu was ex plaining spiritual manifestaiiotia by the *0li' Force.' They were all 'bright and shining spirits After this the medium had a glance among the wicked spirits, where he s-«w thein undergoing punishments, by fruitless efibris to gratify the passions they had been most awnyed by ou earili.— We can imagine no more melancholy apectable. than a once powerful mind driven to the verge o« insanity by such a miserable imposture. Are not iiiose who follow, as a profitable calling, this bu.sities of deluding individuals, with spiritual rappings. knocking*, visions from the oth*r world, and similar Iraudulent exhibitions, indictable lor obtaiuiug money under, false pietenoef

The Cabaa Expedition.

It appefirs to be quite evident that another Cuba Expedition is brewing. Who the leading characters are in this second attempt, is not stated. The New York Express says Private letters from New Orleans, fiom au authority likely to be well inform* ed. intimate that the rumors in Southern papers relative to another expedition for the invasion of Cuba, are by no means unfounded. The -Lone Star Association,' the avowed mission of which is, in the cant phrase of the day. to -exteud the areaol freedom.' are said to be industriously at work, and Arranging their plans so as to avoid the disasters encountered by previous expeditions to Cuba, and with a view ol making the success in the next invasion a matter beyond doubt. Affillieted Societies are known to exist in other States, and is be* lieved that the amount of funds in their hands, raised by voluntary Contributions is considerable. We have at present no further particulars, but the tetters before us, referred to above, «ay: 'before many months pass away, you must not be at all surprised to hear that the Star Spangled Banner waves victoriously over the walls ol Moro.'

The New Albany Ledger triea to iTehy the report of the Louisville Courier, that Mr. Willird furnished his buggy to aid iu the escape of a darkey. The Ledger tries, but did not quite succeed, a* it had to atop to tell several whig editors about lying, and to make crooked mouths at them. We hope the Ledger will fn/fg deny the charge, for we afked about it only lor information.— Wabash Express.

We certainly thought we had used sufficiently explicit language its regard to the reckless falsehood uttered by the Express about Mr. Willard,— We stated the charge to be a lie from beginning to end. The Louisville Courier, the most infamous of newapapers.gave currency to a falsehood sgainst Mr. Willard, but art the ooe published by the Express. although the Courier's charge might have given rise to the latter. Is anything further need* ed f—KT. A. Ledger.

The Whigs are like a cowardly, tlm*f boy. afraid of ghosts. Ue sings when be goea through ibe dark woods, of ntgbt to keep his spirits up. {"be Richmond Palladium does the same.

great number of reports from differ

ent committees, on different subjects were made to the House and properly disposed of. Mr. Brady moved a reconsideration ol the vote on the bill fixing the Salaries ol State officers carried—-A vote was then taken ou the passage of the bill when it was agaiu lost. An eflbrt to take up the bill providing for the election ot State Priuter was unsuc* cesslull. Mr. King introduced a bill providing for letting out Stale Prtutiug on contract, which after a reading he withdrew. Mr. Williams introduced a bill fixing the salaries of State officers which was read a first time. A bill touching the relation ol guardian aud ward was passed, when the House adjourned.

A melancholy evidence of hallucination, caused by spiritual rapping absurbiiies. is exhibited in a long statement prepared for the press by Judge Edmonds, of New York, who has occupied a promincut position in the political affairs of that State having been Slate Senator, Judge of nenrl) or quite all Hie courts of the Slate from the lowesi the higheat—-and »ho is now a judge of tin Court of Appeals—the highest court of judicature in the State.

the Terre Haute end Alton (Illinois) Railroad, baa been catered into by Messrs. Willis Phelps, Wm. Mattoon. and James Barnes, of Springfield, Mass. fhta road extends 175 milea, entirely serosa the Southern part of Illinois. These gentlemen have contracted to build the road, furnish the iron, build the depots, cars, locomotives, dec., putting the entire running order, witin three years, for the round *um of three aoillion* of dollars. The route is comparatively an easy ono, aad it is believed that the road will be completed within two years. These gentlmen are already heavily engaged in different parts of the United States. Mr. Phelps will take the aupervision of the contract, the other artners being individually engaged upon others

arson Brow clow, the eccentric VV hig editor a Tennesae psper, says that every Whig candidate for the Presidency has an especial friend in Congress who can vouch for this orthodoxy on all subjects likely to come into the canvass, who is authorised to give any pledge in bis behalf, suit* ed to any latitude, North or Sooth. East or West lor California or Canada, Hungary or France, Heaven or Hell and which is to be as binding as if it came from bia own lips! Especially is it unlerstood that he is not to be a candidate for reelection for a second term.

Bayard Taylftr, the travelling editor of the Tribune, has penetrated to regions almost unl eard of oefore. He speaks of great nation* and people whose very existence has hitherto been unknown to the reading world He seems determined to see the head *of sm-ient Nilus' and the elephant ere he returns. Judging from the adventurous character it is not unlikely that he may yet get a glimpse at uoth.
