MYSTERIOUS KNOCK1NGs.

II seems that the Mysterious Knockers
have wandered over to Cincinnati. We
have noticed lately several publications in
the Times, Of that city. winch. if true, are
likely TO secure for Porkopolis as extensive
a noorie'y for ITS unear,hly visiIanrs as Ro.
chester has yet acquired. We have mis-.
laid these publications. with the excep,ior
of the following, which we take from the
Times Of the 24th:
More WonderfuI Observation-Disclosures
monslralions were made at the house of an
acquaintance last evening. more wonderful
than any that have been witnessed East or
West. We were not present, but the de-.
nonstralion is reported to US as foIIows:-
After The rapp,ngs had been heard Tor some
time, and communications had been receive
ed from number Of spirits. one of them
announced by the usual method al the call
of the a'phane', that he would magnetic
Mrs. Bushnell and communicate through
her. IN Two minutes and a half, Mrs. B,
was thrown into the state.
She sat upright, and said, 81 am Mr.,
~ gentleman well known to The COM
pany. Her hearing is reported TO have
been precisely that of the gentleman while
in life. He spoke through the magnetic
subject upon matters of business in which
his friends were interested; replied TO many
questions relating TO the condition of spirits
IN The other world and then said that as
there were person, present who wished 10
communicate with friends, he would retire
Tor an hour. when. at signal, he would
again magnetIZe Mrs. &.
The lad" now awoke from the magnetic
state. While she was maenerized. she
seemed to be the fmpersonation of the sp,ri,
which II was announced had maenetized
her.
Fhe rappings were now heard again,
and more communications were had. AT
me conclusion of an hoar. the signal, a
dIs'l"ct rap. was heard, and Mrs. Bushnell
again passed gently into the cla;rvoyant
state. the spint OF Mr., again COM
mnniea'ed through her He told what his
business had been in this world, and wha,
his objects were in these communications.
Alter vesv Interesting lecture on Spiritu,
alsm. he sand that demonstrations OF the
kind just witnessed. would be frequently
manifested, and people would be mach in
s'rnctcd by ITEM.
1t would appear from this. that Shakes.

spoke Of "lhat bourne whence no traveller
e'er returns"

heard the knockings at Rochester, New
York city, Troy. and other places, Informs
us that the demonstration of last night wa,
the highest and mos: wonderful That has

STATE OF FEELING IN THE NORTH


1t affords Us real kratltication, TO be able
to record every thing. calculated to show
u favorable state Of feeling towards us, in
the North. We are far from believing that
the Northerners generally, are disposed to

a re not of the class who under the term
Yankee, suppose there il to be found, moth

with the exception of tllose fanatics who
arc alluded to in the following extract, we
delight to consider them rs members of the
same community. interested in n common
past of haII"wed recolections; in a common
future, Of glnrioLs achievements. We
know there are many amungus, who, though
claiming their birth in the Free States. and
holding on with fondness to the cognomcn
Of Yankee, from associations which none
respect more than ourselves, would stand by
the institutions of the South to the last; rs
would also many who have never pressed
