EXPOSE OF SPIMTUAL1sM-Th "phys-

to the n. Y. Post, has acknowledged that
his table moving, &c, were done by the
aid of fraud and deception. The razor

strumental in discovering and exposing
the secret of a hole in the floor under
meath the table to be moved, DC. Mr.
Coles stated these facts in the New York
Spiritual Conference on Wednesday of last
week, in the presence of Mr.. Paine; and,
after he had concluded, the bogus medi-
um got up, publicly acknowledged the
fraud, and defended 10 on the ground that
the end justifes the means. lie believ-
cd that the greater share of the reputed
spiritual phenomena are sham, although
he was of opinion that some of them are
real. He stood commended to his own
conscience, and counted il among his
treasures in heaven that he had charged
nothing, although small presents had from
time to time flown into his earthly Golfers;
his labors had been one of love. He had
resorted TO deception in order to meet de-
ception, and ultimately expose it. Hav-
ing defended his course, Mr.. Paine exhib-
tied a piece of No. 2 wire, as the yeritable
apparatus by which he had moved tables,
and converted hundreds to spiritualism.

Every day Happiness.

The ingredients of human happiness
are few and simpler than men have sup
posed. TO name them in the order of
their importance they are--first a clear
conscience, quite indispensable; second,
somebody to love; and lastly folks and
things. One can better dispense with all
the rest than the first. And next to hav-
ing somebody to love, is having some
thing to do. Occupation serves as the
chimney of a mans faculties, concentra-
ting the fire and conducting away the
smoke Of his energies, which would 9TH
erwise burn, smother, and blacken all the
inner chambers.
The young man imagines that to have
wealth and fame and fine friends, will Sc
cure happiness. To compass these he is
often tempted to turn atheist TO the god
of conscience and the angels of affection.
but in the end he finds that, without
love and without integrity, worldly power
and prosperity prove swords without han
dies, and wounds the hand that grasps
them.
To have learned, witty, and beautiful
companions, is truly desirable; but they
are not worth purchasing by any com
promise of truth and duty; and with one
whole friend near your heart, and one
tender pair of arms familiar with your
neck, you can afford TO forget all of the
rest. Italy and the Alps delight the soul;
But happiness is in your own little gar
den, and tho landscape before your door.
The opera and the grand concert thrill
and fascinate, but there is a purer and
and more lasting charm in the little eve
ming circle, where some gentle hand at the
piano awakes chords of harmony in your
hearts also, or some loved voice pours out
its tenderness in song A rich and adorned
mansion is pleasant, but cabin where love
abides is better than palace and cold
hearts. Servants to do your bidding is
sometimes very convenient; but better
still is a kind hand to smooth your pillow
and your temper when you are ruffled,
and little girl to bring you kiss with
your slippers, when you 90 home weary
from your work at night, and find some
thing besides toast and tea needed to warm
you. Gay pleasures will do for holidays,
but more homespun kind of happiness
must be had for good every day wear.

Something Rich.
We find in the Washington Constits-
tion letter, dated Memphis, June 8,
1852" in which, after a fnlsome eulogy
of the Coxstitxt,on, (" for its manful, able,
and uucompromising advocacy Of the true
National Democracy, and its powerful
and earnest denunciation both in the
North and the South" the writer goes
on to say:
1.-THE series of articles on the public
expenditure, which recently appeared in
the Constellation, has completely silenced
the clamorous aocusers ofthe Administra-
tion, who charged extravaganza and
corruption and all sorts of malfeas-
ance. No one dares now to re-
peat any of those charges. Facts and
figures are awful things for those who seek
to misrepresent and falsify; but they are
very powerful opponents of truth, and the
ablest auxilaries of those whose cause is
just"
Now we have not the least idea that
this sycophant and veracious letter could
have been written by any citizen of Mem
phis.s 1t was doubtless penned by some
strolling attache of the Government, who
is paid for wandering over the country
under some pretence of public duty, but
whose business is to manufacture facts for
the noble editor of the Constitution. OF
course neither the editor of the Constita-
tion, nor the President can be imposed
upon by such stories, but they hope to
impose upon others, and therefore the
Constitution publishes the letter, al
though its Statements are directly contra
dicted by all its exchanges, and the edi-
tor must have known that they were ut
terly untrue. mo one dares nosU to re-
peat any ofthese charges"
Here is positive assertion which eve
ny man in Memphis knows TO be false,
published in the official journal, when its
editor knew as we'll as We do, that it was
false and we ask honest and we'll meaning
men what confidence they can hereafter
repOse in any statement made by such a
journal. 1t will not do to say it was i'm
posed upon by its correspondent. Its ex-
change list was before it, and there could
have been no doubt in the mind of any
one who glanced through those exchan-
ges that the writer ofthe letter was either
utterly ignorant, or utterly reckless of the
truth.-Memphis Enquirer.

SEC. THOMPSON AND THE SLAVE
TRADE.--During his visit to North Caro-
lima, Secretary Thompson thus expressed
himself concerning the reopening of the
slave trade.
:" In my own state class of restless
refOrmers have started a movement which
demands the reopening of the foreign
slave trade. Laws which We're passed
fifty years ago, at the urgent instance Of
the Southern States, prohibiting the slave
trade. have been discovered to be uncon-
stitutional, and their longer continuance
on the statute books, it is claiud, is de-
structiye of the progress and Eosperity
Of the South. In the advocacy Of this
new theory some able men have enlisted |:

But suppose the demand is made upon
Congress to reopen the slave trade. and
Congress should refuse to yield to the
demand, shall the South, taking FIRE at
the refusal, strike for disunion I For one.

Passengers who came in with the last
overland mail to st. Louis say that the
Texas volunteers who had collected for
the purpose of exterminating the Caddo
Reserve Indians, had disbanded and gone
home. They were prevailed to do so by
Major Van Dorm, who gave them assn
RANGES that he would have an eye to the
Indians in future and prevent them from
warning upon the Texans.
They also re-state the accounts brought
by passengers by the last mail, that the
Camanches had been defeated by Van
Dorm and his cmmand of U. s. cavalry.
1t is still little uncertain whether these
reports do not apply to the engagement
with the Camanches which has already
been officially reported, but the passen-
gers think they refer to second conflict

DISTRESSING DEATH.--The last Sxn.
nv South has an account of death, that
recently occurred in Aberdeen, under very
distressing circumstances. A man nam

last Tuesday week, bloody, very sick, ani

Of his condition. He was we'll provided

he died. His disease was jaundice. II
