SPIRITUAL RAPPERs.

A colony of these wretched impostors
have lately settled IN the County of Fay.
cite, in this State. They profess to have
been guided to this location "by the spirit Of
the Apostle Paul and others Of the deceas-
ed" A correspondent of the Lewisburg
ChronicIs gives an interesting account OF
the colonists and states that they are men
of learning and intelligence. Their estates
are thrown into common fund for the ben
eft of their community, and revelations are
raade from time to time as to the nscessi-
ties of any member.
The most interesting item to us is that
we will soon have on our exchange list
newspaper, dictated, edited and published
by the spirits from the interior" They
have been publishing two papers which will
be resumed in short sine, when the little
hebdominals of that section may expect
many a rap-over the knuckles. We find
in this publication of newspapers, the most
incontestable proof that the whole concern
is an imposture. The idea of pure and
happy inhabitant of the spirit--world' de-
seending from his high and holy estate to
take charge of goose quill and pair OF
dull scissors, and voluntarily enduring all the
trials and tribulations of an Editors life
why it is too absurd for moments Gre
dence. But few weak mortals can be found
green enough to engage in such an unProf-
liable speculation much less would those
who have been exalted in wisdom ven
ture upon the hazardous experiment. Ii
any mistaken spirit is about to get himself
into such fix, we think our friends OF the
Lewisburg Chronicle and Western Era
should seek an interview at once through the
nedii and inform him frankly that the bust
Eess wont pay.

DISCUSSION IN THE SENATE.

The anticipated discussion in the U. j.
Senate on the question Of non-intervention
was commenced last week, and after three
speeches the subject was laid over till Mon
dayinext. This mode OF doing business which
is common in Legislative bodies, strikes a
plain man as peculiar. It resembles some
what the old system of conducting military
operations, in pursuance 1of which the OPP
posing generals maneuvred during few
weeks and then retired into winter quarters
for the season. There may be advantages,
however, in both cases, as time is afforded
for the various parties interested to reflect
over the matters in issue and cool down a
little.
Senator CLAKE's opening speech on his
resolutions and the substitutes of Messrs.
CAss and SEWARD, was little more than
a review of the opinions of the Presl-
dents, from WASHINGTON 20 FILLMORE
inclusive, and other prominent polltl-
ticians, on the question under consldera-
ton. He showed by copious quotations
that the general sentiment of our public men
has been, that true policy requires the Uni
ted States to attend to her own affairs with
out meddling with other nations.
Gen. CAss read long and carefully pre-
pared speech, from which, however, 1t Is
difficult to ascertain precisely what are has
peculiar views. In one place he says that
whenever struggle is commenced to O.
verthrow an arbitrary government, other
despotic Powers should not be permitted to
take part in the contest" This certainly
looks like a promise of war in the event
contemplated. yet the General contends that
war is by no means a necessary conse-
ouence. We declare that Russia "should
not be permitted" to do so and so, but she
proceeds to do it, and we are nevertheless
not bound IN honor to resort TO the only
means of prevention or chastisement! II
such declarations impose no obligation on
those who indulge in them, certainly no body
else is bound to make them good.
Mr.. CLEMENS, Of Alabama, followed IN
the debate on Thursday. He took decided
ground IN opposition to the doctrine of in
Notwithstanding KossUrH and all his
aiders and abettors in endeavoling to draw
the country from the policy hitherto OBJ
served.

FrEE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

II is gratifying to notice the increased In
terest that is awakening all over the coun-
try ON the all important subject OF African
Colonization. A bill has been reported IN
the New York Legislature, approp1ahng
twenty thousand dollars year for two years,
il aid of the emigration of free colored per-
sens from that State to the Liberian Colony.
This measure was warmly urged by Gov,
HUM in his annual message, and is said to
meet with general appreciation.
The abolitiomsts of the North, who have
ever beea the fierce and bitter enemies of
the Colonization enterprise, are yielding
their hostility. We noticed last week the
important fact, that JAMES G.. BIRNEY, the
candidate of the Liberty party for the Pres
idency in 194S, had issued an address TO the
colored people of the North-not only adj
vising colonization-but warmly recon-
mending Liberia as the most desirable and
promising location. This change OF sehtl-
ment among the additions has resulted from
the increasing interest manifested by the
negroes themselves, who are beginning to
look with longing eyes to the land Of their
forefathers, where alone they can ever
hope to- enjoy social and political equality.
In this country the free negro has already
become "by-word and JEST SYN
onym for all that is degraded and worthless.
He is beginning to see and feel that his
privileges are impaired and his chances for
elevation diminished day by day. The doors
of some States, and free States too, are clos
ed against him BY legislative enactment In
the Legislature of Maryld, an order has been
adopted requiring the Committee on color
ed population to inquire into the expedien-
ey Of requiring all free negroes to hire them
selves out by the year. In the Alabama
Legislature bill has been introduced pro-
hibitiag colored mechanics from contracting
for the execution of work on an extensive
scale. Every day their field of operation
is becoming more contracted, and the time
is not far distant, when the strong arm OF
power wall. force them to emigrate some
where, without regard to their wishes
ender the conviction that such must be the
issue, their attention has been thoroughly
aroused to the importance Of a move in
ssMe direction.
That the Republic of Liberia will strike
them as the spot appointed of God for their
home we cannot doubt. The success which
has attended the Colonization enterprise on
the coast of Africa abundantly proves that
the blessing Of Providence rests upon it
II cannot fail. The little Republic that has
been planted there, is destined to flourish
as its own palm-tree. Through its agency
the African Continent is to be civilized and
shristiaaized and though the Ethiopian
may not cnange his skin, he may grow to a
fsll moral, intellectual and religious stature.

o. For some years TO come the people
of Virginia will have to bear an amount OF
taxation they have never known before
The committee of twenty-one appointed in
the House of Delegates, have reported in
favor of appropriatins IS. 252,O 600 to the
various great works of internal improve
ment now underway or projected and it is
estimated by some that the total amount of
appropriations will not fall short of $4,000
900. According to the Governors Mes
sage, the existing debt of the State, on the
1st of January, 1852, was about Sl1, 921,-
O3S 3O-Add to this sum simply the amount
recommended by the committee, and we
will have public debt of SIS, 273, O39 so;
on which, under the new Constitution, Z
per cent. will have to be raised annually,
for the purpose of paying the interest and
ultimately the principal. The sum to be
raised by taxation, therefore, for this pur-
pose alone, every year till the debt is paid,
will be $1,O69, 112, in addition to the ordi-
nary expenses cfthe government which will
be several hundred thousand more. To
raise the money taxes must be increased to
an unprecedented extent.
We are very far from attempting to dis
courage the appropriations recommended
by the communication the other hand, we
believe the early completion of all-or near
ly all-the works specified in their report,
to be essential to the prosperity of the State;
but the figures show that appropriations
should be Withheld from other objects, or made
very cautiously.

INSTRUCTIONS ASKED FOR.

We publish below communication from
our representatives in the Legislature, which
will command the attention of the people
of the County The matter to which 1t re-
fers is one of much importance; but, for
ourselves, we are entirely willing to en-
trust it to our Senator and Delegates
They, however, ask for Instructions and it
is desirable that public meeting should be
held on Monday next to consider the sub
iect, and make such reply as may be tho't
advisable:
RICHMOND, Feb. 18th, 1852.
To the Citizens Of augusta County:
A duty of extreme delicacy has been devolved
BY the General Assembly upon the Senator and
Delegates from each Senatorial District. 1t is TO
report to the General Assembly the number Of dis
trcts for the election of Justices of the Peace into
which each county should be divided and to sug
gest the names of Commissioners, not exceeding E.
leven for each county, to divide II into such dis
districts. We feel no reluctance in dischargng
so much of The duty referred to, as requires us to
suggest the names Of suitable persons to act as
Commissioners; but in respect to the nunlber Of
districts into which Augusta county ought TO be d.
vGed, we feel much doubt. The convenience and
business of the people are to be deeply affected by
the decision Of this question. There are to be four
Justices elected in each district; and consequently
the numbet of districts will determine the number
of Justices. We request therefore, that public
meeting be held at the February court Ohe fourth
Monday and if practicable, that we be advised Of
the views of the people of the county upon ques-
ton in which they are so deeply interested.
Respectfully, your fellow citizens,
