previous to the actual happening Of the vacan-
cy, which really occurred in the month OF
March subsequent. Upon this ground alone,
1t was decided that Mr.. Lanman was not enti-
tied to the seat claimed by him, by vote Of
"a to IS. The caption of Mr. Lanman's case,
as reported in the volume Of contested cleo
tions,' is as follows:
at is not competent for the executive of u
State, in the recess of Legislature, to appoint
a Senator to I'll vacancy which shall happen,
but has not happened. EoTE.-Such appears
to be the ground of decision in this case, but
neither the report, nor the action Of the Senate
on it, discloses fully the reasons Of the decis-
ion."
Such is the state of the authorities upon the
point under examination from a decent res
pect for which authorities, and proper regard
for n official oath, have deemed it my duty 70
see that an appointment of new Senator shall
be made, on the 4th day o March next, to sup
ply the vacancy which will then arise, and
which has unfortunately not been provided fof
by the customary Legislative action.
Such are the reasons which have Influenced
my conduct in this delicate ndimportant affair
and cheerfully submit them now tony leiiow
citizens, to receive either their aPprobatlon OF
their condemnation. II. ,. FOOlE.

they ceased. Her handswere then placed upon
a violin, which on the authority OF Pax, is So
norous body, but no raps were heard. A few
days since, we witnessed the performance Of
gentleman who called upon the spirit of Tom
Realm to tilt the table, which was upset with
out any apparent effort on his part We desir-
ed him TO place his hands upon ours, whilst our
palms rested on the table when his most earnest
solicitations could not induce even a rap, but
we felt the same tremor we have described above.
There was also an evident retraction Of the body
from the table, which we regarded as the result
Of involuntary contraction Of his muscles.
Now if the raps depended upon the union Of
an atherial fluid, would it not pass to the table
as rapidly when the fingers rested lightly upon
it, as when firmly pressed and would itnot be
conducted as well by flexible as an infexible
twig- again, would not the raps be even more
audible upon violin than table?
We think the above recited experiments, de-
monstrate most clearly that the raps are the re-
suit of ricketts, IN the table, muscular tremor be
ing the active agent or motive power. The
tremor is owing to the magnetized and probably
exhausted condition of he muscles OF the arm
and hence the motion succeeding is involuntary
We have said the muscles become exhausted, fol
if the experiment is protracted they become par
allied, and the operator is unable to remove his
hands until the sensory nerves of the extremity
is excited by the application OF foreign body.
This, Pax, probably would say is breaking the
current.
Our limits will not allow more extended no
tice of this interesting subject, which we now
drop with reluctance, hoping however that Pax
or some other scientific gentleman viii favor US
with another theory no less beautiful but more
invalnerable than that which called forth this
article--provided, after repeating the above ex-
periments they find our deductions erroneous.
Yours &c. BOLUS.

COMMU UNIcATED.


MessrS EditorS-In a communication pub
lished in late number of your paper-our friend
Pax gives an ingenious explanation of the so
called Spn ituat Rappings, which however, we
think will not bear the test of experiment.
Tom More has said that every author should
have reviewer Now if this be true in regard to
writer's promiscuously, how much more neces-
sary does it become, when applied to writer's on
science, which being founded upona govern
ed by immutable laws will bear rigid scrutiny
The most most searching investigation cannot
fail to confirm known truths and develop new
ones. The more violent the percussion. the
more brilliant will be the scinteIlations. Pax
quotes literally from Davis, the Claivoyant au-
thor to explain the phenomena of Animal Mag
netism. This work is replete with anatomical
and physiological errors, and hence cannot be
relied upon, for our friend says that knowledge
of these branches Is essential to proper com
prehension ef this subject. We will not stop
here to give our views of Animal Magnetism as
a science, nor to comment upon the various
phenomena attributed to its agency, suffice it to
say. that we believe the raps are in some degree
dependent upon itas the sequel will show

in the table, but arise from the union of mag
netic sparks which we infer from his article, are
controlled by the same laws as electricity.
To ascertain whether or not the raps depend
ed upon the rapid union of an mtherial fluid,
the following experiments were performed in the
presence of respectable witnesses
The medium was requested to place her fin
gers upon the back of our hands, whilst ours
rested lightly upon the table, and no raps were
heard. after repeated efforts without success, we
pressed firmly upon the table SO that the tremor
of her muscular system (Which was very evident
to us) could be communicated to it, and the
raps were quite audible. We then requested her
to hold one extremity of two pieces of wood an
inch in diameter and eighteen inches in length.
whilst the other extremity rested on the table,
Tue raps continued as distinct ss before~-but
when these we've replaced by two flexible twiggs

Col J. J. B. White, Capt. McClay and
Major Regan were chosen Judges by the
Company. The two former were pres

There were three rounds f1reG, and the
Judges awarded the medal to Sergeant

was engraved appropriate devices and

by our worthy fellow-citizen, P O'Don-
nell, who is an honorary member of the
corps, to be shot for on this occasion.
It was presented to Sergeant Hunter by
Col. White in a very handsome and
thrilling speech. We would take oc-
caSion to say, that this company is now
placed upon a better footing than it
has been since its organization.
Capt. Leake is an efficient officer, and
makes every exertion to sustain the
company, and these efforts meet with
the hearty cooperation of every men,

0s- The Beacon of Cuba, published by John
s. Thrasher, in New Orleans, in speaking Of the
manifest destiny, and The way Cuba must be
acquired by the United States, says 1--WE be
lieve that the manifest destiny of Cuba is to be
attained only through action vigilant, unceas-
ing, earnest action. There is but one way to
bring itabout. Cuba must assert her rights, and
maintain them. She must effect her indepen-
dence. and then, when her course shall be under
the control of her own sons, she may carry out
her manifest destiny. Is is not for us to chain
down the men of action. 1t is not for Us to
bind them to mastery inactivity. while Others
are at work. Let Cuba attain her freedom"
The Beacon takes the ground tlat Cuba cannot
be purchased Of Spain; therefore, considers that
the only way acquire it, is by force of circum-
stances Cuba must first revolt from the Span
ish Government, and establish her independence,
and then-as he thinks is their desire-become
part of the United States by annexation.
Whether Cuba can be obtained by treaty OF
otherwise, so it is honorably and honestly done
we hope to see it done, the sooner the better
but unless ii can be done without sacrifice ol
either we wish to see It remain where it now is
Cuban Fillibnstering is becoming unpopular
and must soon be numbered among the things
that were Bat it did not die until it had in
jured the prospects for soon acquiring the garden
of the world.

TO the Editor Of the Union:
DEAR SIR: Not satisfied TO partake alone oi
the mingled emotions of pleasure and sadness
which have been awakened in reading the fol
lowing letter from the brilliant and eccentric
orator of Roanoke, / send it to you for publica-
ton, that the readers of the Union and the pub
lie generally may share in the sorowful gratlfi-
cation which have experienced in its perusal.
Il proves beyond question, that whilst, from dis
ease and other causes, Mr.. Randolph exhibited
on some occasions an irrascible and peeyish dis
position, his heart was nevertheless the deposi
tory of some of the finest and noblest feelings Of
which our fallen nature is capable. do not
accord fully with all the sentiments he has here
expressed, but in its general tenor and spirit the
letter has my most hearty appreciation. 1t is q
beautiful specimen of fraternal sympathy and
affection, expressed in terms Of tenderness and
propriety which have never seen excelled. i
was written to his half-brother, the Hon. Henry
st. George Tucker, on the occasion of the demise
of his eldest son, youth Of singular promise
possessing largely the personal and intellectual
attractions of his accomplished father. 1t i:
proper to remark that the letter was found
among tie private papers of the distinguished
gentleman to whom it was addressed, by his son
John Randolph Tucker, of Virginia. Ha, int
been long associated with the family of judy,
Tucker in terms of intimate friendship. hav,
obtained permission from Mr.. Beverly Tucker
of this city, to dispose of the communication
as my judgment and sense of propriety Nigh
dictate. | therefore send it to you for pub
lication, ami bespeak for it especially the at
tention of those who, in the days of other years
were associated with its distinguished author il
the relations of personal and political friend

The Letter.


May He who has the power, and always tht
will, when earnestly, humbly, and devotedly en-
treated, support and comfort you, my brother
| shall not point to the treasures that remain t.
sou IN your surviving children, and their mother
dearer than all of these put together. No;
have felt too deeply how little power have word.
that nlay round the head to reach the heart wher
it Is sorely wounded. The common-places O
consolation are at the tongues end of all the
self-complacent and satisfied, from the pedant
priest to the washerwoman, They who dom
feel can talk.) 4 abjure them all. The father Of
Lord Russell, when condoled with according tC
form, BY the book, replied, Il would not give my
dead son for any other mans living" May this
thought come home to your bosom, too but not
on the same occasion. May the spirit of God,
which is not the chimera of heated brains, nor
devise of artful men to frighien and cajole the
credulous, but is as much an existence that can
befelt and understood as the whisperings of your
own heart, or the love you bore to him that you
have lost-niay that spirit, which is the com
forter, shed His influence upon your soul, and
incline your heart and understanding to the only
right way, which is that of life eternal Did
you ever read Bishop Buffers Analogy? If not
viii send it to you. Have you read THE Book?
What / say upon this subjectI not only believe
butt know to be true-that the Bible, studied
with an humble and contrite heart, never yet
failed to do its work, even with those who from
idiosyncracy or discrdered minds have conceived
that they were cut off from its promises of life
to come.
'.Ask and We shall receive; seek and ye shall
find; knock and it shall be opened unto you."
This was my only support and stay during years
of misery and darkness; and just as had almost
begun to despair. after more than ten years Of
penitence and prayer, it pleased God to enable
me to see the truth, to which until then my eyes
had been sealed. To this vouchsafement have
made the most ungratefui returns But would
not give up my slender portion of the price paid
for our redemption-yes, my brother, our re-
demption-the ransom of sinners-of all who
do not hug their chains and refuse to come out
from the house Of bondage say that would
not exchange my little portion in the Son Of
David for the power and glory of the Parthian
or Roman empires as described by Milton in the
temptation of our Lord and Sayiour-not for all
with which the enemy tempted the Saviour OF
man.
This is the secret Of the change Of my spirits
which all who know me must have observed
within few years past. After years spent In
humble and contrite entreaty that the tremen-
dous sacrifice on Mount Cavalry might not have
been made in vain for me-the chiefest Of sin

0-s- We publish to-day the card Of Gov
Foote, which sets forth the reasons that prompt
ed him to make an appointment to fill the va
cancy which will occur by the expiration of the
term of Hon. Walker Brook. There seems to
be a diversity of opinion as to whether the Gov.
has the power to fill such vacancy. But the
general opinion seems to be, that there is no
such power vested in the Executive. The rea-
sons set FORTH and the authority cited by the
Governor, are sufficient to justify him in making
the appointment. No harm can be done by this
step, as the United States Senate will, of course.

&C. We see it stated, but upon what author
ity we do not know, that Gen. Pierce intends to
enter upon the duties of President without the
usual parade and ostentation of an Inauguration.
We sincerely hope that this may be the case. for
the demoralizing and unrepublican scenes that
have attended our inaugurations of late, are uu-
becoming the American people, who have set
themselves up an example of republican sim
plic;ty If the fathers of this country could re-
turn and take glance over us in Tie days of fast
men aud things while they would rejoice over
our immense progress, they would see much to
rsgpes$-.~
1t is said that Thomas Jefferson rode from
Monticello on horseback, with his clothing in
MS saddle bags, TO the Capitol-took the oath OF
office-rea5 his brief address, and then walked
back to the Presidents Office and entered upon
his duties Mr. Jefferson was cemocrat wor-
thy to be followed in his republican haSS.'is and
notions. To be sure, there are reasons for not
following in the footsteps of our fathers in every
particular but many Of their customs would
well suit Republic at this time.
