Mr.. WEBsTER's SPEEcH.-The speech of
MIR. Webster, at Annapolis, which we publish
to-day, is Characteristic OF that great mind
which seems TO be an inexhaustible reservoir
of patriotism and eloquence. No matter how
frequent the demands upon his tongue and
pen, in the Union cause his efforts have
nothing of sameness about them, either in
thought or expression; his eloquence flows
in an ever fresh and limPid stream. and he
always speaks most appropriately aud i'm
pressively. And how naturally, and with
out an effort, he throws off the grandest
thoughts and images. He always reminds
us, in this respect, of the majestic power
and quiet energy with which a massive
locomotive glides over its iron track. draw
ing after it the most ponderous burdens
as easily as Ifthey were feathers, and filling
the air with bright sparks from its unceasins
fires Richmond Republican.

hunger that one of the men proposed that

MORE CHARLATANIsM-M Explained at
Last.-Mr. A. J. y avis, his work entitled
1.-The PHILOSOPHY of Spiritual Intercourse"
thus lays open the mystery which has here
tofore enveIoped some OF the spirits" in
Rochester and elsewhere:
Il now proceed to explain how spirits can
move table or other inorganic substances:
y spirit, without possessing any OF the gross
ness of the earthly form. is yet organized in
its principles ana functions precisely as we
are III this life; and when it, sprii, desires
to move table, (by way of maDiies,ing lis
nearness,)t concentrates its own magnetic
and powerful elements so as 10 take hold, as
1t were OF the magnetism OF the atmosphere.
In like manner, this atmospherical magnetism
takes hold Of the electricity OF the air, and the
latter is then concentrated upoa the article
which 1t is the spirits design to move. Atmos-
pherlcal magnetism and electricity are, there
fore, the nerres and muscles which spirits
employ when maniieslng their presence 10
the material senses Of believing lis well as
skepiical individuals. Hence. when rap
pings" are heard, and when it is certain that
no mischevous or designing person is pro
duclng them by way Of imitation, then it is
perfectly reasonable TO conclude, as has been
hitherto explained, that friendly spirit from
The spirt-land is producing electrical, rolling
conclusions upon some material substance
through the Intermediate agencies of terres-
trial magnetism and electricity. The nlodus
operandt OF these phenomena design not
now to detail; because at present it is deemed
sufficient Tor mankind TO know that it is both
naturally aad phIlosophically possible Tor
spirits to approach and influence heavy and
gross bodies OF matter"
Alter such lucid exposition, no one car
possibly be at a loss to account for these
maniiestations-provided they understand it
