sT" DR.. Parsons, Of the Nashville and
Louisville Christian Advocate, has long ar
ticle on the subject of Spirit Rappings. lie
does not believe that the phenomena is the
result of animal electricity; but that the
agency is supernatural. In making this adj
mission, however, he wishes it distinctly I'M
derstood that 'the power is not of God; or that
its exercise is for good.' His belief is, that
"not being of God, and yet being superna-
tural, IL must be Of The deuil." He then enters
upon lengthy argument, to prove his posi-
ton, and makes it as clear as mud to his
readers.

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, March

W
The death of Mrs. Fillmore was an unex
pected occurrence. She was in her usua
health at the last drawing room, immediatel!
preceding the Inauguration. She took cold
it is said, on that occasion, and was unwel
for some days, but still made every prepare
| ton for the intended family tour through thu
South. Her disorder was pneumonia, anC
terminated her existence at nine o'clock this
morning.
The President issued an order for closing
the public offices during the day, in token OF
public respect for the deceased, and sympathy
for her bereaved husband and family. The
Senate met ut IL, and the melancholy event
being announced, Immediately adjourned.
Mrs. Fillmore's remains are, feourse, to be
conveyed to Buffalo, accompanied by her
family and friends.
The New York appointments we're great
puzzle TO the administration, on account Of
the warning democratic elements in that State.
OHC SET Vi HOIlllUdIlOHS was uCtSiuiiiiou upon
on Friday night last but the arrangement
was broken up, at the urgent interference OF
some of the New York hunkers.
Finally, the President took ufsn< himself
the settlement OF the question, All he named
the men himself and nominated them without
regard to the opinion Of Mr.. Marcy, or any
other member of the Cabinet. Thus it ap-
pears, that the two leaders Of the hostile
democratic cliqucs in New York, are selected
for two of the principal Offices in that city.
d. y. Dickinson, being nominated as Collec-
tor, and John A. Dix, as Sub-Treasurer. 1t
can hardly be supposed that either of these
distinguished citizens will sccept the posts
assigned to them. Still, they may do it, for
he sake of promoting the harmony of the
party.
The Baltimore and Philadelphia nomina-
ions are also sent in, and will, presume,
give some satisfaction, though neither gener-
Il nor decided.

For the Post.


The Rabun Gap is pass, almost level,
through the Blue Ridge at the source Of the
Tennessee river, which river separates the
great Smoky Mountain, and forms a channel
for Railroad at once the most direct from
the State of Tennessee to the Southern At
lantc seabonrd.
The State of South Carolina having de-
termincd to build the Rabun Gap Railroad,
it becomes matter of the highest Importance
for Tennessee to properly locate the main
trunk Of said Road within her limits. Where,
then, should the main trunk of the Rabun
Gap Railroad be located! Tho answer to
this question may conflict with. the private
interests of some individuals, wita local in
terests, or with private projects. But in my
humble opinion, there is but one true answer
to the question, and that is: The great inter-
est of the State of Tennessee demands the
location of the main trunk Of the Rabun
Gap Railroad the nearest and best way from
the North Carolina line to Chattanooga.
The citizens of Knox county, and particu
larly of Knoxville, her public press, her bar
and her bench, have displayed commendable
zeal in regard to their branch of the Rabun
Gap Railroad This is as it should be, and I
am pleased to see it, for, surely, it will have a
tendency to wake up the public press and
the people at Athens, Chattanooga, Nashville,
Memphis, and the whole of Middle and West
Tennessee, to the very great interest they
have in the proper location of the main trunk
of the Rabun Gap Railroad. Nashville,
Memphis, the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad Company, the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad Company, and in short, the whole
Middle and Western part of the State, must
be deeply interested in the success of the
Rabun Gap Railroad, which will connect
them with the Atlantic seaboard at Charles
ton, s. c., by the best and most direct route
from our State. MAULsBY.

THE WEST.

! Horace Greedy has written Il great many.
. fine things: but IT may be questioned wheth-
er in the whole rang of his yoluminous wri-
tings, there can be found more striking
passage than the following;
The West!-Lct her not be dcspised
American Onentals may dream that Wisdom
has taken up her perpetual abode on the
shores of the Atlantic; and that the genii of
Art Science and Literature have planted their

| ghanies. But thousand f;lnries never mado
one fact. Like the swaddled Hercules, tho
West has already put ont her infant arms
and strangled two political dragons that were
cOiliBg about Der cradle; and as soon as she
walks forth in the consciousness of matured
strength, she will make greater fiattering
among the barpus that are proving upon her
interests, than did the club OF the Hero d
mong the Syrnphaliaa yultures. III found
ed contempt is a blow that always rebounds.
The AssyriaHs cOntempted the Parsians,
while the Persians like mnsk-rts, were I'M
dermining the walls Of Babylon. HaugAty,
learned, philosophic Greece the eonqaerOr of
NerXes, became Turkish slave and the fai!
daughters of Themistoeles and Lcenidas

Smyrna. Rome despised the barbarians, and
the barbarians conquered Rome Caesar
overran GauI with victorious Legions, and
now Gaul has n standing army in the city
of the Caesars, England would force Amer
lea to drink Bohca; and America poured for
England cup of Gunpowder Tea, the taste
of which she has not yet got out of her
mouth. Thus it is-Arms and Art in their
onward progress have always pitched their
tents near the setting sun and the conquests
of the one, and the triumphs of the other
have left their fruits to ripen and decay, OH
the track. The very relics Of ancient en-
pires have now to be dug out of the soil,

Ostrich in her flight throw sand upon every

HAPPy AFTER AwMLE.-Ha Happiness is al
ways just ahead. Hope, "bright star of the
future," sheds its light athwar our pathway
and bids us look onward to coming joys and
happier days. TO the hopeful heart the fu-
ture is always bright. Dark fOrLidding clouds
may occasionally east their gloomy wings
Ger our sky. Storms may arise. The winds
Of adversely may beat upon us.-Wayes of
sorrow may roll DER the depending soul.
Our spirits may sink; yet kind monitor
speaks within US and says, thou shalt be hap
py again. The cloud yanshcs. The storm
dies away. The bowling winds fall asleep,
and the happy soul looks out upon the future
as upon quiet peaceful sea.

ey" Our friend of the Knoxville Register
expresses great establishment at the article in
the last Post about Gen. Green. Our friend
is n full cousin to the old lady who always
knew the cow would eat up the grind
stone, and lives but to be astonishcd. lfhc will
not take it amiss, we will suggest silence
on his part about the suit against the railroad
his instincts are all wrong, the old leaven is
not entirely worked out Of him yet, and
he may, without intending it, render the
plaintiff an essential service and do the de-
PENDANT serious injury.

e5y" A correspondent Of the New York
Herald of the 10th, says General Pierce will
have an easy time of it, if he only acts upon
the advice of the members Of Congress. They
have resolved themselves into committees to
parcel out the patronage in their several
States, and avow openly that the President
must make the nominations as they dictate,
if he desires to succeed with Congress- I'm
der this arrangement no person who may
happen to live in district where the member
is opposed to him has any chance of success
no matter what his other qualifications OF
endorsements may be.

A Political SQUIB.-On the last day of
the session of the late Congress, Mr. Clarke,
of Rhode Island, made speech in opposition
to the cXtravagant appropriations for Califor-
mia. He referred at length to what he had
before censured, the prodigality with which
Congress had showercd its grants upon this
pet baby, California. Senator German, of
Indiana, in defending these appropriations,
referred to the circumstance that the Cover
nor of Rhode Island from the inadequacy OF
his salary, was forced to raise COWS and ped
die the milk. lie would state to the Senator
that in Rhode Island, milk was q profitable
business, and they always killed the calves
and sold the milk The difference between
his State and other places was that they
raised the calves, and having nothing else to
do with them sent them to Congress.

hADlSOhElLLE, ApIlI y, 1000
Mr. Editor:-A strange phenomenon has
occurred at this place, and in its vicinity. Al
most every rock brickbat chip, &c. that lives
loosely on the surface of the earth, has de.
posted on its under side, Il substance resem'
bling, in appearance, Flour of Sulphur II is
said to have fallen with the rain on Sabbath
night, or rather that it was observed in the
rain water that collected in ponds, and in
| vessels that stood out during the night.
In Burrett's astronomy, pages l6I and l62,
find the following: The number of shooting
stars, observed in 4 single night, though
variable, is commonly very small. There are,
however, several instances on record of their
falling in showers-when every star in the
armament seems lOOsened from its sphere
and moving in lawless flight from one end of
the heavens to the other. AS early as the
year 472, in the month of November, n phe-
nomenon of this kind took place near Con-
stantinoplc. As Theophanes relates, the
sky appeared to be on fire, with the corrus
cations Of the flying meteors.
A shower of stars, exactly similar took
place in Canada, between the Sd and 4th of
July, 1914, and another at Montreal, in No
vembcr, 1919. In all these cases, residuum,
or black dust, was deposited upon the surface
of the waters, and upon the roofs of buildings
and other objects. In the year 1910, "inflam-
ed substances" it is said, fell into and around
lake Van, in Armenia, which stained the wa
tiers Of a blood color, and cleft the earth in
various places. On the 9Th of September,
1919, like phenomenon was seen in Moravia
History furnishes many more instances of
meteoric showers, depositing red dust, in
some places, so plentiful as to admit Of
chemical analysis. w. NJ. s.

out of some difficulties with the Transit
