sively obtrudcs itself upon to shock the com
munity, it is the duty of the press particularly
To enter protest.
The persons who seem so be most amcna
bio TO this charge ust now, are the deyotees OF
Spiritual Rapism. which is now looked upon
Very generally as the commonest nuisance of
the day. 1t has not one redeeming feature
about it, 10 give it claim to federation. There
is neither wit. nor sense. nor reason, in anything
it says or does, or prints. They chatter and
prattle about the spirits they have seen and
heard, but which nobody ever hears or sees, or
ever will hear or see, but themselves.
We have already had occasion to show up
the nonsensical twnddle bnwkcd about by the
"Spiritunl Telegraph" in this city, and the
"Shekinah, two publications devoted to the
propagation OF the absurdity-but never drarm.
ed that the Humbug had yet another organ else
where, until we received through the post'o
fee. the other day, Vol !, No. l, of "The
Mountain Cove Journal and Spiritual Harbin.

Spirituasts settled at Mountain Cove, Faycte
county. Va. 1t published weekly, by James
l.. Scott and Thomas l.. Harris. The Leading
head in the number before us is disclosures
from the Interior" The first article Is God
Manifest" Here is a single paragraph, which
presents about as sensible an exposition of the
blasphemous nonsense of Rapology Gun be
found in the above named issue:
"The Infinite Supreme Good, GoD THE LIFE.

sve Love, in Infinite, Personal, Conscious Al
mightiness; and therein He appeareth inhabit-

in Uncreated Spiritual Omniscience; and there.
from He appeareth in coequal and coeternal
glory of Infinite Divine Procedure"
Perhaps a man in his might be gull.
~ of ntterng such trash as this. but we don't
believe ii.
The next is "The Vision of the Seraphima."
1t commences-"Behold wonderl woman
in glory of the Seraphimol'
Again the "Vision" saye,
"Behold! she whose name is Seraphima is
the spirit of the seraphimal universe the en-
bodied sweetness ofthe celestial creation"
The article is "Exposition and Application
of Hebrews" The fourth is "a Vision Intcri-
orly Imaged by Gabriel the Angel in the Night
of the Sa,ior's Agony and purpor,s to be
Given ut Mountain Cove. in the Sixth Month
of the year 1852" We have room for only
single paragraph:
Then out of the Ark Of Testimony three
voices responded; and the first was rs the Sc
raphm, and the second as the voice of the
Chcrubim. and the third as the voice Of Man
And the lhi,d voice spake and said: God is in
carnate. And the second voice said: God In
carrate is God Incarnative, and henceforth In
generative. And the FIRST voice said: God In
carnative, God fngeneratlve, she'll be God In
creative; thence shall Paradise unfold into i'm
mortality, and man shall inherit therein and
never die"
Another leading article is "Sccnes from BE
yond the Grave. Trance of Marietta Davis,
which is ITO be continued" The editors. it
seems, were formerly clorgymcn; Mr.. Scott,
of the Seventh day Baptist Church in Berlin,
New York, and Mr. Harris, of tho Univcr-
salist, New York city.
The circumstances which these misguided
on crack Drained impos'ors (what else are they,
odmitting that they are not absolutely and ir
redcemably crnzy,) assign, as the moving cause
of their Mountain Cove enterprise. are just
such as only thoroughbred Bedlamite mi ght
he supposed TO put forth. Sometime last Oc-
,ober, one DR.. Scott, (Rey) of Auburn. Qhcn
a hot bed Of the isms,) proclaimed that he re-
ceivcd an order from the world Of spirits to
repair immediately to Columbus, Ohio, there
to wait for additional directions. The spirit
said to him, as to Abram Of old "Get thee ou
of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from
thy rather's house unto land that will show
ihee, and will make Of thee u great nation,
and will bless thee. and thou shall be bless
ing" Gen. l2, l, &c. In obedience to the
heavenly mandate, the modern Abraham went
forth with few friends. and came to Colum
bus. Thence, he gravely tells u.s. he was OF der

cinnati; from Cincinnati to Point Pleasant; and
from Point Pleasant to Salina on the kanawha
There it enjoined upon them to take car
iiages and travel eastward on the State turn
pike road leading TO Richmond, Va. When
they had proceeded on this route about forty
miles, the moment the carriage had attained
the summit of a certain hiIl tho spirit knocked
upon the window, informing them that they
were now upon the spot iore-ordaned by
Heaven for their final settlement. Moreover,
they were commanded 10y the same invisible
