Mr.. GEnRITT SMITH.-From the WASH
ington correspondence of the New York Elk
press:
Mr.. Smith, of Va, passed glowing eulo-
GUM upon Gerritt Smith to-day, in the
course of his remarks upon the New York
Hard Manifesto. He gave him cordial in
vitation to visit Virginia, and even to discuss
there the subject of slavery. On the conclu-
sion of Gov Smiths complimentary notice
of Mr.. Gerritt Smith, Mr.. Cingmal, of N.
C., warmly shook the latter gentleman by
the hand, and assured him that he concurred
with all the gentlemen from Virginia had
said. If Gerritt Smith is not on his guard,
am afraid he will be seduced from his allegi-
ance to the cause in which he has been long
enlisted. He is evidently great favorite
with the Southern members on account of
his gentlemanly bearing and the originality
and novelty of his opinions. He is n greater
abstractionst than old Mr.. Tazewell or the
late DR.. Cooper, or Mr.. Calhoun, and never
addresses the House without commading the
closest attention. While Messrs Sumner,
Chase, Seward, and Giddings are regarded
with great aversion by the Southern delega-
tons in both Houses, Mr.. Smith who is n
more ultra Abolitionist than either of them,
is caresscd and admired. The reason for
this singular apparent inconsistency is to be
found conceive in the belief that MIR. Smith
is m Abolitionst from moral and religious
convictions-the Others from political mo-
tives and hatred to the South. Smith dis
cusses the subject of slavery in the spirit of
philanthropist and Chrstian-they, in the
spirit of demagogues and greedy aspirauts
for power md place.

e Quite an excitement occurred during
the past week at Altoona, Pa, from strange
noises having been heard in grave yard,
leading to the supposition that lady who
had recently been inferred had come to life
after burial. Several persons heard noises
from the grave, and n crowd assembling, it
was deemed proper to disinter the coffin. On
reaching the rough wooden case enveloping
the coffin, it was found to contain water,
which had filtered into it from the surround
ing earth; and it became apparent that the
noise heard had proceeded from the action of
the water causing the coffin to rub against
the case. An effort had been made to ex-
clude the crowd from the burial ground, but
the excitement becoming intense at the mo-
ment when the coffin was reached, they broke
down the fence and rushed in The evidence
of decomposition that reached their olfacto.
res on opening the coffin satisfied the curious
bystanders that life had been extinct before
interment.
