g3-We gather the following additional
particulars in regard to the Boston Tragedy,
from the Atlas Of yesterday -
We learned yesterday, that Mr. Swain,
who drives an express wagon between this
city and Cambridge, states that he has been
employed for a long period Of 'imo by Pro-
fessor Webster to carry bundles aud parcels
for him, to and from his residence and the
College, az often as three or tour times
week and that up to last week he had been
in the habit el going into Professor Web
ster's apartments in the college and leaving
what he had, Ihcrc. Last week he says
Prof. Webster told him to leave any par
GELS which he might bring over for him III
/ LiulsGeld's entry and lie wou.d get them.
/ He also says that he endeavOured to open
the door to Prof Web,ter's apartment and
/ found il fastened on the inside.
Among other articles which he brought,
over were some bun les of faggos rcr-
,on Of those were found IN Prof Webster S
4 apartment.
The Traveller says that on Monday al
ternuon, The Cotoner's Jury visited the
Medlcel College, for the purpose OF exam
ininr tho vault where the first remains
were found, it having been suggested by
some, that the pieces found there might
have noated from the vault used as recep
tacio OF dissectcd subjects ia the other part

WARS THAT KNoeKING.-TheT Tribune
recently published marvellous report of
certain supernatural revelations, that have
been frightening Western New York from
it's propriety, which is calculated to revive
the faith Of the supersttious in 'Witchcrail,'
Haunted Houses Ghosts lIobsoblin'.'
and other mysterious apparitions.' We
copy a portion Of the Revelation which
is signed by +. w. Capson, Of Auban,a and
George Willis Of Rochester. Though we
are very skeptical in all such ghostly mat
ters, yet we cannot lei this wonderful state
ment pass without suggesting that the phe
nomena of the rapping may be attributed
10 the yagrant spirit of some disembodled
vagabond, who can find no better employ
meut than to bother the living by his SUI
! perna,ural ylstations.
The sounds were frs, heard about two
years ince, and have not yet ceased, but
seem to be spreading. from one place TO
smother, and gradually claiming the a'ton-
,on of the public mind. When first heard
they wcro manifested by a simple hollow
sounding rap upon the floor of house.
This rspping was continued for long time,
every night. and finally commenced in the

THE REPUBLIC.
CIRCULAR.

vNHE UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish
Il political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage, in the City Of Washington, in support OF the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Taylor came into power, and being DESTROYS TO
obtain the aid and cooperation Of the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation make 1t desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
of Government.
l. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage as their medium of intercourse is upwards Of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
creasing by immigration.
g The name of Democrats being the appellaton
of the liberal or popular party of Germany, to
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged they do of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appellation in this country,
as soon they able to exercise the elective
franchise; and the more SO, the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety it is to this
interpretation TO the best advantage.
8. Although there are few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character
and relying for their support more on local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the defeat Of the
Wing party in their particular section.
A. The Germans however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible to sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able by degrees
to overcome prejudices, correct and misap-
prehensions, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pcrs, now in existence, WILL 1t Is hoped, produce
the desired effect, and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential, portion of the German
citizens, over to the Wing ranks.
5. The undersigned is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles TO overcome, but rely
ing upon the power of truth and the cooperation
of the Wing party, on account of the intrinsic
merits of his enterprise does not fear to be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if he antici
pates satisfactory result.
