From the Boston Journal, Dec. IT.. The Dead Mans Train-Spirits Running the Locomotive.

The Old Colony Memorial, published at Plymouth, relates an incident which is suffi- ciently marvellous to please the most ardent be- levers in "signs and wonders" It states, as a matter of common notoriety in Plymouth, that during the last summer months, between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning, there was regularly and distinctly heard upon the railroad, the whistle of an approaching tran As it was well known however, that no train passed over the road at such time in the morning, four gentlemen at the Samoset House, determined to investigate the mystery. Accordingly, un- known to any one, they one morning about o'clock, stationed themselves on the track, about mile from town, and awaited the arri- val of the supernatural visitor They did not watch long nor wait in vain, for immediately they distinctly heard, far off in the north, the sound of railway whistle and presently the distant chatter of wheels was heard-louder, nearer, nearer, still it came-the click of the rails in their chairs: the rush of steam was as plain in their ears as if the lantern glared be- fore thenl-the shriek of demon whistle close at hand made them leap from the track as the train thundered down the grade-the hot breath of the panting steed was in their ve- ry faces as it passed-as the unearthly scream ceased, they heard the brakemen screwng up their brakes, the tinkle of bell and the sound of meeting cars, as if the invisible specter mon- ster of the road had reached his journeys end"
 About month since, says the Memorial, one of the watchers visited the spirit circle in Boston, where he was an entire stranger to all present, save one, to whom he had never re- vealed the summer incident, when the engineer of the special train held spiritual converse with the astonished company. A protracted sitting was suddenly brought to a close by the com muncating spirit announcing that he must 80.
 "Where, and for what?" some one asked. "To run the train," was the prompt answer.- The sitters looked upon each other, and What train?" was the universal exclamation. "The Old Colony train," was the reply. "Do ) ou mean for us to understand that at this hour of the night train of cars passes over that rail- wayF' There was long pause. Slowly and deliberately, as if making no common revela- ton, the arm of the medium moved at last, and the pencil wrote these words: "In life was an engineer upon that road. At stated inter- vals train unseen to mortal eyes, takes the spirits of the pious dead to the pilgrims home they consecrated by their lives MT. L., who is with you, will say whether he has not heard or knows aught of that train. It is net for mortals to know more."
 The Memorial vouches for the truth of this wonderful narrative. It is a little singular, we will simply hint, that spirits who can enter rooms with closed doors, and who are ever pre- sent at the call of mediums, should require train of cars to transport them to Plymouth!

Loss OF THE STEAMER SANGAMoN.-We re- gret to announce the loss of this favorite little steamer. On Saturday morning, 9th inst. while descending the river, bound for Napo- leon, she took shear on the pilot, near the head of Big Island, ten miles below St. Charles, and some seventy miles above the mouth of White river, striking a stump, and sinking in less than minute. She lays on the stump her stern in some 15 feet water. The boat is a total loss. Her machinery, we learn, will be saved No lives were lost The Sangamon was in command of Capt. Haynes, and had been running as one of the U. s. mail boats from Napoleon to Jacksonport for several months past. She was purchased by Messrs. Dean & Adams in August or September last for $600O She had no insurance on her. Capt. J. D. Ad- ans is now absent to purchase suitable boat to supply her place in the mail line.
 The stump which sunk the Sangamon is the same that the steamer Nick of the Woods was sunk by several years since.
