MECHANICS AND LAwYERs--The New York
Mirror has the following, which shows that en-
nhgtened constructiveness is rising to It's true
place in public opinion.
The Bar is no longer the resort of the ambi-
tons youths Of our country. The mechanical
departments are being preferred; there are now
thirty young gentlemen in this city, that have
received liberal educations, who are serving their
times as shipwnghts, architects, carpenters,
&c. In few years the United States will have
the most accomplished mechanics in the world.
a new class Is sprnging up who Will put the
present race of mechanics in tho shade. The
union OF a substantial education with mechanca
skill will effect this Indeed, already we could
name some mechanics who are excellent math-
ematicians, and acquainted with French and Ger
man, and able to study tho books in those IAN
guages connected with their vocations. Here
totore fond fathers were wont to educate their
sons as doctors and lawyers, 10 insure their ro-
spectability and success. That day is past
Mechanics now take the lead, and in few years
will supply the largo portion Of the State and
Federal Legislature.
We hope that parents and guardians will put
aside this almost bSOLete idea, that none hut pro-
fessional men, such as physicians, lawyers and
divlnes, can ever arrive in this country to great
distinction. Look any day: and witness the self
taught, the once iliiterate boy, now a superior
mechanic; filled with the ardent thirst of becom-
ing "a valuable member Of society. Look at orr
community-how many are there row filing Of
fees of honor and profit who but t few weeks
ago, were opprenticed to very respectable trades
and take the portion of mechanics, to your very
learned and much distinguished men, and com
pare the ratio Of their future cminence. Look
at our debating societies, lyceums, &c, from
whence comes the ebulition Of marked natural
talent from those who never had any other slim
uant but their own ambition to become useful
as well as ornamenttl--whose days are devoted
to hard work, and every vacant hour passed in
the proper study to render them respectable and
well-nformed.

A. Yes; he communicates to her, and watch
es over her.
Q. Have former generations passed away,
so that they cannot be seen from Mr.. c. pres
ent sphere?
A. Some have, and some have not
@. Could Mr.. C. see Adam and the ancient
Pa,riarchs?
A. No.
@. Is this new ability on our part to commu-
nicate with the Spirit world consequence of
any change or improvement in the Human Fam
lily?
A. Yes: the Human Race have become
refined and susuept bic to impressions from the
Spirit world more than formerly.
1t was here casually stated by some one pres
ent that Mr. G. had stated, on former occasion,
that Idiots have no immortal existence. The
present querist demurred TO this, and asked
.. Do children, who die in conscious inian-
cy, live in the Future State?
A. The moment an infant has been ushered
in.o the world, an individuality has been formed,
which continues to exist, provided the physical
constitution was perfected-not otherwise.
Q. Then why do not animals also have an
immortal existence?
A. Nan has peculiar formation, which an
finals have not. To all who have that forma-
ton, soul adheres--not to others.
Q. Can Mr., C. give US any idea of his pre-
sent locality in space-whether it is on any par
ticnlar planet, or around this earth?
A. Human spirits love to hover around this
earth, but they are not confined to il.
Q. Do those born on the several planets
usually remain each on that which was his birth
place?
Answer not taken down, but believed to have
been affirmative.
Q. Are the planets visible to Mr.. c.?
A. Yes.
@. Does Mr. C. see this outer, material
earth Does he see it as we do, with our ma
teral eyes?
A. He perceiyes the earth as highly mate
rial body.
The above is all that we noted down, though
few other questions were asked and answered,
which were not noted at the time. On another
occasion, it was stated, in reply to a question,
that all created existences are first clothed in
material bodies, passing thence into purer and
more spiritual forms, and that the inhabitants of
the higher planets, like Saturn, pass through a
change from the material to the purely spiritual
state equivalent to our death, but one unattended
by pain, and which is desired, not dreaded

should have no doubt of its results. The results
which we witnessed were too abundant and over
whelming to leave the slightest doubt that the
great desideratum is achieved. Il is far within
the limits of truth to say that the mechanical
power that would result from the combustion of
the hydrogen viii h we saw evolved from water
by turning the helices one minute would con-
tinue to turn them an hour; nay, taken in con-
necton with the oxygen which might have been
evolved at the same tiine it would have been a.
BILE TO lift the man who turned up through the
root, and would have been fully equal to the So
luton of that celebrated probem-to lift ones
self by the waistband
Regarding water henceforth as the only fuel
of the civilized world, we feel exceedingly anx-
ious that our city should seize the opportunity
before monopoly has laid hold of it, TO add this
splendid use of the element to our Cochituae
blessing. Let the city at once look into this af-
fair, and paying the discoverer the sum which is
justly his dae-or rather that which will satisfy
him-for the right to use his discovery, so far as
Boston Ia concerned, make it the property of all
the citizens as much as the water itself. One
halt as much money as we have expended in
procuring the supply of water will make it avail
able Tor all the purposes of light and fuel to the
whole city-we shall have no more coal and
wood to import, and our excellent City Gas Com
pany, which has probably got back its capital
several times already, will only have 70 receive
100000 or so for lis pipes and fixtures.
1t does not matter straw TO Us how strange
it may be that Mr.. Paine has not sooner intro
duced his discovery and invention to the world
that he has not lighted up the Aston House or
exhibited in Boston--we have seen the thing
doEe, and can do it. The thing which we have
seen, being done, all the rest follows, of course,
as sure as ddY follows sunYise-sailjnU vessels
are driven from the ocean-locomotives run
without smoke or sparks--the entire smoke
nuisance, and all dust and ashes nuisances to
boot cease from all civilized cities, and habita-
tions. Every portion Of the world becomes hab-
liable. Physical darkness is abolished-and we
are mistaken if the moral darkness does not 90
along with it.
AT all events, our gas bills will be lightened,
for if Mr.. Paine don't give US his light, after a
reasonable time, we will make some for ourselves
and enjoy it.

AUTOGRAPH HUNTERs.-Of the seventeen
millions OF bores who, according to Caryslc,
compose the Yankee nation, the worst are the
autograph hunters. Like mosquitoes, they at

JAMES, the novelist, had not been week in the
country. says the Troy Wing, when the number
of letters he had received asking for his auto

stated his difficulty to Washington Irving, who
advised him 10 have few thousands of replies to

No, vain your boosted treasure,
Tho earth to gold is given,
Gold cannot stretch to measure
The LOVE bestowed by heaven!
They say that thou art poor, Louise;

But why should lack of sordid pelf
Thrust thee and me apart
The pearls that sparkle on the lawn
Our jewels bright shall be;
The gold that frets the early dawn
Shall fill our treasury

When birds their vesper song

Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER, in letter to Rev
|. s. Spencer, thanking him for copy of his
recent Thanksgiving Sermon which appears to
have possessed an exceeding fragrance for the
soul OF Cotton, refers him to Hookers smost
truthful, most sublime description of Laws, -
which, he says, he never reads without the stron-
gest emotions. The well-known passage refer
red TO is as follows:
"Wherefore, that here we may briefly end
of Law there can be no less acknowledged, than
that her seat is in the bosom of God, her voice
the harmony of the world; all things in heaven
and earth do her homage, the very least as feel
ing her care, and the greatest as not exempted
from her power; both angels and men and crea-
lures of what conditions soever, though each in
different sort and manner, yet all with uniform
consent, admirng her as the mother of their
peace and joy"
We should like to have Mr. Webster on the
witness stand q moment, and sworn on that
Book which he processes TO reverence, TO give a
true and candid answer TO just this one ques-
tion
"Mr Webster, do you earnestly think that
this sublime passage of Hooker's is indeed a
truthful description of such acts Of Congress
as the Fugitive Slave Law p
For our own part, we believe Hooker was
plainly thinking of much 'higherlaw' than that.
If he were not, his definition was singu!arly in
appropriately. !. Tribune.

in the internal regions. There was no "trial by

though Mr.. Webster argued and proved that
there ought to be before the Fugitive Law was
passed)-no adequate security" for his "indi-

tended for few months ago, he is denounced as

The salt business is nearly suspended in the
manufactures owing TO the want of water
Prices have already advanced eight per cent. and
further Improvement is confidently expected
The above was telegraphed east and west from
one OF the telegraph offices in this city, on Wed
nesday and has been published in most of the
daily papers on the line of the telegraph. The
manufacture Of salt, in accordance with law
passed by the Legislature, was suspended on the
first inst, the suspension to continue until the
first of next April. 1t is well known to those
acquainted with the manufacture, that it is i'm
possible by the ordinary method Of salt making,
to produce pure article in the winter, and the
law above referred to was passed in order to put
complete stop to the manufacture during the
winter months, that impure salt might not 90

satisfaction to buyers. As we said yesterday,
lhe price has not yet advanced, and any quaint

4 MAN ATTACKED BY A PANTHER.--Itis stated
by the Thibodeaux (La) Minerva, that short
time ago man was attacked by panther, on
the Raccourci roa1 leading from Bayou Black to
the Little 1'orrebonne. The panther crouched
himself on the branches of large tree by the
road side, and as the man was riding by, leaped
at his prey, but missing his aim, caught upon the
horses rump, tearing the skin and ilesIrn most
shocking manner. The rider, in his fright and
in his endeavor to dismount let fall his overcoat,
which the panther discovering, quitting his hold
on the horse, bounced upon it and to-. it in many
pieces. The man made his escape, without re-
ccving any greater injury than severe fright
and the loss Of his ovcrcoGt.
