Il ali tcriocsness the Memphis Appeal gives the
following account of ghostly phenomena on the
premises OF citizen at the corner of Third and
Monroe streets, in that city:
For four OF FIVE weeks it has heen observed that
briclIbats, botties and other loose articles were
hurled into the yard after nlghttall. The matter
becaEle ali annoyance and efforts were made to
discover what mischievous person thus acted out
Of spite. 80 such person, however, could be
found. What made the matter more remarkable
was the discovery of the fact that when the house
door was closed, or the light in the house eXtin-
guished, no object fell on the premises, but on
Lighting the lamp and rtOpening the door, brick
bats and other missiles commenced falling. Per-
pleEed by occurrences so mysterious, not to say
alarming, the proprietor of the premises made ap-
plcaton to the police for assistance, hoping their
experience and knowledge of the trickery of de-
signing persons might find clue that would uu-
ravel this strange and astounding secret. The
officers have attended as desired and have used all
their skill and diligence to detect the trick, if
trick it is, but at the time we write the mystery
has eluded their subtlest plans for discovery. The
other evening nine persons, citizens and police,
were watching the premises, with all the intense
energy engendered by the failure of those who had
watched before them. In the midst of them-strik-
ing nobody, however, from time to time fell the
usual kind of articles.
No noise told of their approach, but all at once
the object dropped on the brick pavement, and
rolled a short distance--as is usual with bodies
tlltpWil lEpul HtItdIl Hdiu-duu tltu lay az rest
Yet the most scrutinizing eyes, and the minutest
search has hitherto failed to discover the existence
OF any physical cause for these inexpliCabe occur
rences. Perhaps the most wonderful fact Of the
whole series of phenomena is, that during the
weeks this has been goiug on, not single bottle
has been broken by the fall although they alight
upon a brick pavement. On Friday evening Off
Ger johnson picked up bottle, which, in this
mysterious way, had fallen near him, and rolled to
his feet. DESTROYS of ascertaining whether the
glass was OF unusually hard kind so as to re-
sist the consequence usual to the concussion fol-
lowing upon fall from some unknown point in
the air, he held it up distance of three feet above
the pavement, and allowed it gently to fall from
his hand. As would be the case with any other
bottle, il broke into thousand pieces. This
strange apparent violation Of physical law tempts
US to further details; but We have said enough to
show that either the locality have mentioned
is the scene of some of those phenomena so learn
cdly and phosophically treated of in Owens
work, or piece Of trickery is being carried on of
more than ordinary Ingenuity; or-it may even
turn out that the agencies at work are the most
ordinary aud natural in the world. Some of our
acutest policemen were TO watch the premises
last night.

and they concluded the vessel must be eapturets
and therefore prepared for q trip to TanSeedon.
Down came the steamer upon them, and, when
within mile, she fired gun; in answer to which
the schooner hove to. Running within bssenif
throw OF the Adeline, her Captain was ordered to
lower bis boat and repair on board with his papers.
In reply Captain Smith said his boat was too small
TO live N such sea. I will send boat 70 board
you, was the rejoinder. The steamer then made
headRay, taking position across the schoonerfs
stern, and at the distance Of quarter, of mile,
and Immediately large launch with an armed
crew, was seen to put of from her. 1t has already
been remarked that the weather was very squaIly
and heayy sea running at the time. This caused
the two vessels, which were headed n opposite
directions, to drift rapidly apart and for some dig
tance. In short time the launch was nearly
alongside. Captain Smith had gone into the cabin
to get his papers, and the passengers and crew
were preparing to surrender themselves to their
csptors, when in the twinkling of an eye; an over
ruling and kind Providence opened way of es-
cape. sudden and unexpected squall came On,
accompanied with rain and mist. Quickly and
completely did it shut them out Of view Of their
enemies. Qniek as thought the mate perceived the
auspieioas time for action had arrived. It wa 8
neck or nothing Up few the foresaflthe jib
proximity Of the huge guns. Of the steamer, in a
minute the gallant vessel was bGrying her Prov in
the foafang sea and speeding her way towards the
inlet in the distance.
There no time to cast the lead or search
for channel; ..bee line Z must be taken for
the shore. On thay~went, having double the can
vas spread Llat fs consIdered safe in such gale,
two seas were shipped as they crossed shoa near,
the entrance to the inlet, ene Of which lifted the
tafrail and washed the deck fore and aft. But the
mate, (Mr. Brandy brave and skiful seaman,
had his 'eyes about him !" :: not sheet was
slaeked-not wcrd was spoken: onward they
dashed through the foaning waves. Suddenly the
squai passes-the mist lifts and in the distant off
ing, about four miles off, lies Lineoln's steamer,
and here, in Cumberland Sound, nearly abreast
the town Of Fefnandina, is the AdeIfle, with her
gallant crew, safe and sound. p -
What became Of the launch and her armed crew,
no one could say. The citizens OF FeraanGina wit.
messed the whole affair, and great were the rejofe-
ings at their escape, and many and warm the
praises bestowed upon the gallant mate, Mr..
Brandt to whose bravery, keen eye and qtick
Judgment Under Providence, ia mainly TO be attri-
buted their escape.
Whilst writing this, a large schooner, deeply Ia
den, is passing in tow of a stun-tug, and I learn
that she came into the same inlet but saw no
blockanfng vessel; and it is but few weeks since
the John Welsh, prize to the privateer JEFF" Da-
Wis, was brought in unmolested.

The NORTHERN POPULAR LoAN,-In the N. Z.
Herald Of August 18th we noticed aa article sew
eral columns in length, giving an account of the
manner in which the popular Government loan
was being taken BY the people. The contents of
very romantic and touching letters enclosing cash
for the Government were Published the halt, the
lame and the blind we're pictured eagerly rush
ing up to take portion Of the loan Old men,
young men, matrons. maids. and even children
were represented as joining in the general rush.
Decayed old men, with threadbare clothes, had
still few dollars to invest in the cause of the glo-
rious Union, ancient fish and apple women were
seen drawing the gold from lbs safe hiding place
in their bosoms and placing it the altar of their
country. The account of the Herald would lead
one to infer that at least enough would be sub
scMbed Instantly to carry the Government through
tue war ) how great then WAS our surprise to see
in the commercial columns of the Times of tile
30th--tWo weeks later-that the aggregate amount
subscribed at that time was S2I0,950 AS the ex-
penses OF the Yankee Government are about one
and half million dollars per day, the length of
time which this tremendous popular outp0uying
will support the concern can very easily be hg-

The Galveston Civilian has the following account
Of an artillery improvement claimed by railroad


The Galveston Civilian has the folio wing account
of an artillery improvement claimed by railroad
officer of Texas: sr z-.@
The other day we witnessed the experiment Of a
small sbreech-loading gun invented by Mr. Nichols,
the superintendent of the G. Fl. and 4. railroad.
The gun is four feet long, with base of one and
fourth inches diameter, rifted, the metal wrought
iron. This small gun was mounted on q small car
riage, and taken, with twenty Or thirty persons
invited to be present, on the cars to the railroad
bridge, over the bay. A part ofthe company were
left on the at the further end of the bridge,
short distance from the target while the rest ofthe
company remained with the gun at this end. We
should remark that the gun is self printing the ball
weighing one pound, of c0nical shape, like the
Mimic ball, and the charge Of powder three ounces.
The target was on the bay, one and three-fourth
miles distant and $50 yards from Viz gnia Point.
Mr.. R. X. Hartley kept a memorandum of each
shot. The first shot struck the opposite shore, in
line, distance tWo miles; the second fell shortsof
the target 100 yards, the third 126, the fourth 225
the fifth so, the sixth went beyond the target LOO
yards, the seventh 800, the eighth l25, the ninth
100, the tenth so, eleventh and twelfth fell sbozt
about l50 yards the thirteenth passed over Viz
ginia Point, falling into the Bayou on the other
side, distance two and half miles.
\ The remaining shots were atvarious elevations
of from IL to IS degrees, several Of the balls fall
ing entirely out of sight, and striking the
water at distances estimated by the company at
three, three and a,half and four miles.
On the return of the cars, four shots were fred
/
aud quarter miles. Three struck about twenty
thirty feet to the left of the hull and one struck
the hull We should remark thatthe first ten shots
were with an elevation OF fye degrees.
Those who witnessed this trial, some OF whom
are good judges in such matters, expressed the
opinion that a gun of this construction large
enough to carry six pound ball, viii have a
range of four to six miles with great accuracy.
We hope Mr., NGhols will meet with encourage
ment to construct gun on the same principle,
carrying much larger ball. The present vas.
merely intended as an experiment,
