A STARTLING ADVENTURE.

flags of several yards square. But this was
NOTHING unusual. l felt one of them totter
under my feet. L jumped to the next, and

to The depths below! This was, doubtless,
merely a thin bridge of crust, over a deep
chasm. When l got to a place which atfor-

So uncertain was the footing that l could not
approach near enough to see how deep the
chasm was. Dense masses Of smoke came
curling up from the angry abyss. kept on

the weary fall of my feet on the hollow
sounding lava, the beating of my own pulse,
and occasionally the awful throbs and throes
of struggling nature below. Ilonged to hear
a human voice and behold a human face.
Anxiously did l scan the wide mountain side

BEGINNING OF THE FIFTH VOLUME

BEGINNING OF THE FIFTH VOLUME
In assuming the control of the Atlantic Month
w., its Lew proprietors deem it scarcely needful
to spend many words in assurances or promises.
The congratulations and good wishes they have
received from all parts of the country seem to ans.
tify them in the confidence that their own ehat-
acter as publishers will be accepted by the numef-
Gus readers and friends of the Magazine as o war
rant that they will do everything in their power 10
increase its interest, to enlarge its circle of 6ttfhG:
ton, and to raise its standard of ability in all
departments.
They think it proper to say, simply, that no
change will be made in the general character of
the magazine; that all the writer's whose contrib4i
tions have established it in the popular favor Win
continue to make it their medium of communica-
ton with the public; and that the relations of the
publishers with authors on both sides the Atlantic
will enable them to add materially to the variety,
interest, and value of its pages.
The Atlantic has never been, and will never be;
q sectional journal. Its publishers acknc wlede6
no parallels of latitude in the Republic of Letters;
and, while they will judge of any article ofsre6
them, not by the source whence it comes, but BIZ
its own intrinsic worth, they will at the same time
endeavor to maintain It's character as q periodical
in which earnest thinkers may find ex Expression,
~unhampered by fear of that narrow censorship
which what is loudest. but not deepest, in Public
Opinion would fain establish.

SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL INDEPENDENCE
The Journal Of Commerce says that the
commercial effect of the determination Of
the south to become as far as possible in
dependent of the north for manufactured
goods, is already being felt with disastrous
effect there: the southern orders for northern
goods for of various descriptions, having so
fallen off as to have necessitated the dis
charge of large numbers o. workmen here
tofore employed in manufacturing for SOUTH
ern markets. The blow so far has fallen
heaviest on New England. The discharge
of these workmen indicates an approaching
general paralysis of manufacturing business
there, which is working out its legitimate
results on the business interests of all in
whose midst those manufactures are situa-
ted ...... .......
The Journal Of Commerce also adds, that
northern mechanics and manufacturing ar
tizens are preparing in great numbers to
move to the south, there to follow their res
pectiye trades. Coming south to follow
their trades, and at the same time to be-
come of the south in spirit as we'll as in
name, they will all thrive far better than in
New England, make more money!. have
within their reach more comforts Of life at a
less cost, and be much more independent as
men and citizens, than at the north.

BILE to the mind of the advocate of spiritua-
lism and when their own positions are in
consistent and conflicting, fall back upon
the ignorance and fallability of the spirits
Of departed friends in the spirit world. l
have said they have no basis or data to be
governed by. Perhaps a spiritualist might
say l am mistaken, we have reason and
common sense to be governed by. Well
admit for the sake of the argument you
have, but are they substantial as stand
ard and alike reliable in different minds p
| answer, No! They are both as tickle
as conscience, mere creatures of circum-
stance or education. For instance, posi-
ton may appear truthful to a spiritualist
but false to me, consequently cannot rely
upon it as truthful, because have measur-
ed it by my reason and understanding,
and in accordance with that data, what is
truth with him is falsehood to me and rice
uersa. Again may think am possessed
with common sense (in the usual acccpta-
tion of the term.) Inquirer may think it
is not true or at least if so that it is unusu-
ally common. So we see then that truth
instead of being absolute becomesa relatire
principle and dependant upon the caprice
or conception of mind for its existence.

THE CIRCULATION OF THE N. Y. PApERs-
The New York correspondent of the Mobile
Register, writes as follows:
The Herald has no squeamishness about fb-
bing. 1t is scandalous the manner in which all
our newspapers misrepresent their circulation
in this city. The Sun used to circulate very
largely, but now it has fallen down to about
10000, mostly in the city. Its price is only one
cent. The Herald prints about GO 900, but only
circulates in the city about 1900. The Tri-
bune circulates about 10000. The Times is
well on to $4,000. The Daily News will in
crease few thousand on the strength of Woods
election. The Express circulates 10000 morn.
ing and $4,000 evening edition. The Journal
of Commerce prints $1,000 The Courier and,
Enquirer 1000. The Evening Post about H.
600. Commercial Advertiser 500. Evening
Day Book about ream (48O) The five Sun
day papers, Atlas, Courier, Mercury. Dispatch
and Times print about 5000 each. The Satur-
day Leader, Douglas organ, circulates about
$4,000. 1t was started as q Sunday paper, but
since it has become political weekly it has in
creased its circulation five times over.

FROM tn0 Dead
Here is the language Of Henry Clay Of
Kentucky:
If one dark spot exists on our political
horizon, is it not obscured by the bright
and effulgent and cheering light that beams
around us? Was ever people before so
ever any other nation contain within its
bosom so many elerrients of prosperity, of
greatness and Of glory? Our only real
datiget lies ahead, conspicuous, elevated and
visible. 1t was clearly discerned at the
and distinctly seen through
out our whole career. Shall we wantonly
run upon it, and destroy all the glorious an.
ticipatons Of the high destiny that awaits
US? I beseech the Abolitionists, them.
selves, solemnly to pause in their mad and
fatal course. Amid the infinite variety of
objects Of humanity and bencvolence which
invite enjoyment of their energies, let them
select some one more harmless, that does
not threaten to deluge our country in blood,
l call upon that small portion Of the cler-
gy which has lent itself to these wild and
ruinous schemes, not to forget the holy ma
ture of the divine mission of the founder Of
our religion, and to profit by his peaceful
examples. entreat that portion of my
countrymen who have given their counte-
nance to Abolition to remember that they
are ever most loved and honored when NOV.

sphere, and to reflect that the ink which
they shed in subscribing with their fair
hands Abolition petitions may prove but
the prelude to the shedding of the blood Of
their brethren. | adiure all the inhabitants
of the free States to rebuke and discounte-
nance, by their opinion and example, meas
ures which must inevitably lead to the most
calamitous consequences. And let US all,
as countrymen, as friends, and as brothers,
cherish in unfading memory the motto that
bore cur ancestors triumphantly through all
the trials of the revolution, as, if adhered
to, it will conduct their posterity thror gh
all that may, in the dispensation of Provi-
dence, be reserved for them.

Spirituaiism.
Rev. N. L. Rice, the distinguished Pres
byterian divine and orator, has lectured a
few times in the west on Spiritualism. He
states that Judge Edwards admits the ex-
istence of FOURTEEN difficulties in the way
of getting true communication from the
spirit world; we give the causes below and
respectfully submit to believers that theo-
ry so liable to be false in practice, is scarce
ly worth tying to. Here are the 'difhcul-

Sd. State of the atmosphere.

9th. State of the spirits.
7th. Passiyeness of the medium.

10th. Fanaticism.
