Letter from the 5eaooast----Adams
Rifle Guards.
HANDsBoRo, MISSISSIPPI, |
June 18th, 1861. J

June 18th, 1861.
MEssRs EDITORS On Monday morning,
the 10th inst, the fine company adams
Rifle Guards" left for Jackson, via New
Orleans, on the steamer Creole. This
company numbers seventy-two-a fine
body Of young men, under the command
of Capt. F. W. ADAMS. Among them are
preachers, doctors, and mechanics, with
students from the schools. The compa-
ny combines in its ranks, large amount
Of intelligence, enterprise and patriotism
and in the day of battle and Of trial they
will give a good account Of themselves.
They are fully aware Of what Mississippi
expects of them, and they will not tar
nish her past glory, but add new luster to
her military fame. A large concourse OF
citizens, ladies and gentlemen, met at the
wharf to see them of, and cheer them
on. The word good bye was uttered with
tears and prayers for their safety, whilst
the steamer swung from her pier under
the booming of guns.
We have here, also, fine company Of
Home Guards, Capt Clark. On last Sun
day, four companies of Louisiana volun'
teers we're landed at Mississippi City, two
companies at Pass Christian, two compa
mics at Biloxi, for the protection OF the
coast. There will be troops at Bay st
Louis, and Pascagoula, with a sufficient
force and heavy guns upon Ship Island
These defences are under the command
of Gen. Twiggs. Our cause is just oul
people are patriotic, we must and vii
triumph. Yours &C.

Clear Sweep of the Traitors from North
Western Virginia.

From all the information that is before
us at this writing, it would seem that the
combined columns Of Gems. Mcclellan,
Morris and Hill have made aud are max
ing a clean sweep of the rebels from out
of Northwestern Virginia They have
been driven from their prey like a pack Of
sheep-stealing dogs. Their commander
has been killed, and they themselves sur
rounded, cut II and captured, They ha-e
been ignominiously foiled in every attempt
to retrieve their fortuncs-completely out
generated and most disgracefully whipped.
All we want to hear now is, that old Wise
and his son, and their gang Of rag and bob
tail irates, have been dealt with after the
same fashion Garnett and Wise's neck in

ginia will be ended WAes'tng LfeEFgen-

Opposed to Slave Catching.

A member of the Second Regiment of
New York State Militia writes from Balls
-Four Cross Roads, Virginia, as follows
ga slight case of rebellion occurred in
one Of our camps few evenings since,
when a young man on guard was ordered
to arrest any slave who undertook to pass
He promptly answered I can obey no
such order; it was not to put down insur-
rection that / volunteered, but to defend
my country's flag! I am ready to bear
the consequences, but never to have a
hand in arresting slaves,
"Tbe next night it was deemed polite
not to try the temper of the men too hard
therefore the order was given in more
general tone, viz: that those whe were
not ''all right should be stopped. About
''the we sma' hours ayant the twal' the
pickets heard sudden brush in the adjoin-
ing shrubbery-a cracking of light twigs
beneath flying foot, and stalwart son
of Ethiopia stood painting against the gilt
tering bayonet of New York miltisman.
An instant only did their eyes fash upon
each other. "All right" said the North
man. "All light, massa !'' whispered the
trembling slave. "Then make tracks be-
fore I've time to run you through with
this" and the gruf sentry illustrated the
bayonott exercise.
"a little later, as morning glimmere
over the hills, horse man dashed almost
past. Not SO quick, stranger What s
in the wind p The polite Southerncr on
ly demanded his property, which be alrea-
dy had scent Of, and hoped no one would
interfere with his passing over the ground.
''In vain--this visitor did not come IN
der the head of ''all right; ;" and with a
politeness equalling bis own, be was asked
to retire in an opposite direction from the
one his chattei was then pursuing.'

NUMBER 7.
A Word with the Spiritualists.
CHIcAGo, July 16, 1861.

CHICAGO, July 10, 1871.
DEAR Mr.. EDITOR =
/ day or two since had some
( conversation with friend on the subject
of religion, and elected the fact that the
person was Spiritualist. or believer in
t that system, and requested ere | condemn
ed, to go and judge for myself, naming at
the same time a very well known 'medi-
um'' in Chicago-Miss Hoyt
went bringing with me two friends iii
arder that witness could be borne to the
proceedings. l went, toe, with the sin
eere desire to find out the scheme, if any
existed, in order that might be some
what instrumental in reasoning my friend
out OF belief in its absurdities.
Nhen we arrived we were ushered into
a partially darkened room. and soon the
medium appeared, requesting us 0 draw
to the table and write on slips Of paper the
names of departed friends We did so.-
And IN order to test tbs truth of the mat
ter introduced the name Yankee Doodle"
among the number The medium inform
ed me that three of my spirit friends were
present, and my friends two each I open
ed the interview by asking, Are you the
spirit of this friend, touching Yankee
doodle, and the spirit by rapping thrice
responded "Yes - l asked then, Are you
happy? YES" L my father alive p
"No," Is he with you? Yes" Is be
within me? Yes" How old was he
when be died? This was answered By my
writing numbers on a slip OF paper and
pointing with my pencil. when the spirit
replied YES when | marked SS. BY
the same process / was informed he died
So years ago. | asked is it by tie will of
God you are here? Spirit-''Yes Are
you spirit of truth? Yes" You can
not inform me falsely? "No." What i,
my name? Robert Thurlow" What
is my age? "25." Where was l born?
Tuscaloosa. What is my profession?
Soldier" Shall 90 to battle? Yes"
Shall return safe? Yes" Am I mar
ried? No" But these will suffice.
did not receive one correct answer, al my
father is living and not yet So years old l
am but 20 years old, My name is not
Robert Thurlow. And | was not born in
America, and never was soldier | might
add when went to the Spiritualists rooms
| was in uniform.
Occasionally the spirit would refuse TO
answer, and before left it had stated l
was 79 years old and my father living in
Spain.
With my friends the result was the same,
and when the medium per ceived we were
not at all awed or nervous while holding
conversation with our spirit friends, they
(the spirits) refused to reply, after time,
ald We left feeling assured we had not
spent dollar for naught, for should you
insert this, some Of your readers may prob
ably avoid being spirited into paving their
money to have their minds unsettled =
Surely this heecing of the unwary should
not be permitted by our authorities. -

From Utah .

The Cincinnati Commercial contains a
letter written by Isaac Sheen, from fort
Crittenden (fOrmerly Camp Floyd. Utah,
under date of juno ! Sth, from which We
learn that the indications and preparations
for civil war in Utah are very Marked
The letter says:
Brigham is greater tyrant than Mich
olas of Russia. | am satisfied that his
downfall is at hand, for the division has al
ready commenced In Weber county, near
Ogden City, there is new prophet arisen
by ;he name of Joseph Morris. He has
written many books. and SAYS there is a
revelation of God against this people. He
says that the judgements of God are to
come upon this people, Brigham aud the
authorities of this church, within the year
1861, and that God is going to destroy
the wicked leaders of this people. The
people around him, almost ALL believe in
him as a true prophet of God. He lives
about so miles from this place.. | am
of the opinion that be is the man to bring
forth that bloody conflict which TIE proph-
ct Joseph foresaw, for the Brighamites are
already threatening him and his follow
ers with determination. | believe all the
branches of the church where he lives have
joined him.. There is much rumor about
the troops leaving Utah. They expect to
be ordered to leave every day. Letters
came here by the Pony Express, May 29th,
that an order was issued in Washington,
May Dist, to call the troops into the States
from this place, and ever since the quarter
master has been making preparations to
start when the order comes, but it has not
arrived. There are thousands OF poor
people here who wish for the troops to re-
main until they can obtain teams to take
them away, and if the troops leave they
will not know what to do There are
many, yes, very many poor families who
wish they were out of Utah. No man
knows how poor people suffer in this Terri
tory, but those who experience it.
The statement Of another correspondents
from Utah, concerning Morris, the new
prophet, says that he prophesies that the
war will commence in Utah before there is
much fighting done in the States--that
Brigham Young shall be cut off this year,
and all his posterity, and all the leaders of
his church-tbat young Joseph Smith is
at the tail and he is at the head, and when
he gets the road, he will lead the saints TO
Zion (Jackson, Missouri. that young Jo-
seph and his arty will join with him, and
that his people should not plant, for if they
did they should not reap. for they would
get plenty when Brigham and his party
are cut off
A revelation of Joseph Morris is also
given by the correspondent, in which he
claims to be the Lord of Hosts, and sent
to ''speak unto you my servant, Joseph" "
He proclams all manner of vengeance
against the Brighamites. and promises to
cut them IF from tbs land Of their inber-
itance, while the Morrisites are required
to gather at Weber, the place where Nor
ris resides, and he will como quickly to
their deliverante,
From these fects it would seem that the
great Mormon bubble is likely to burst,
and the saints against scattered over the
Garth

a REFUGEES Statement.

In the Fulton Street Prayer Meeting
the other day, there rose up tall fine
looking man, having the type and air of a
Southern gentleman. He said that in the
extreme South, he had often heard and
read of this meeting. Occasionally he
had read notices and reports Of it in the
religious and secular papers Little did
he think he should be standing up in it,
and asking prayer for such as himself =
He had been seven years resident OF
the South, living uudsturbed until the
breaking out of the pres ent rebellion. Then
there was a change He had been doing
an extensive and very prosperous business,
was largely, and, as he supposed favora-
bly, known, to great numbers in the South
Yet, twice he had been seized in order
to be hung. Once had he been tried BY a
Vigilance Committee, and he now had with
him full discharge from all ground eff sus-
plcion. For three weeks be had been guar
ded night and Gay by armed friends, who
defended him al the risk Of their own lives,
and at last he escaped by almost Hercue-
an efforts. He had left all behind him,
and accounted it great mercy to be in
the free North with nothug, Often had
be been in wa t Of the barest necessaries
of life. He lett S25, 600 behind him.
If you think, said he, tha' you can con-
ceive of the state of things at the South.
you are simply mistaken. A widespread
system Of the worst form of despotism
which the world ever saw, prevails. Over
all the South terrorism, such as YOU can
not conceive Of, reigns. No man feels
safe. No man feels as if be knew what
the end was to be. No man knows what
sentiments he may express to-day, that
will not be perverted to his destruc Jon to-
morrow. 1t is only necessary to raise a
cry against a man, and no power on earth
can save him, after that.
| have seen hundreds suffer under all
sorts of ipdignity and outrage 7 have
seen women, born and reared at the South,
owners of slaves, with half their hair sha-
we'd off. All this was because they had
dared to express some sentiments in favor
of the Union. This terrorism is growing
worse every day. 1t is despotism of the
most fearful kind. If there is any class of
people on the wide earth who need your
prayers, it is the people Of the South, white
and black.

The REASON WHY-0ur readers will. of
course, have noticed the decided advance in
the price Of Southern state stocks in the
New York market varying from FIVE to ten
per cent. during the past few DAYS. TIE
money article in the New York World of
Saturday gives the following as the reason:
We have good authority for stating that
there have been orders in this city for some
weeks, from capitalists in New Orleans, to
purchase for their account Southern State
stocks and securities The tenor of the
letters which accompanied these orders
evinced a conviction that The North must
prevail, and Reconstruction of North and
South take place under the Constitution of
the United States Some of these gentle
men are confidential friends and financial
advisers of Jeff Davis

THE TRUE SENTIMENT OF ENGLAND
Extract from private letter written by a
very distinguished person in England, than
whom few have better opportunities of as
certaining the real feeling of the English
people towards our own people
sIn regard to the great conflict that dis
tracts America, give no heed to the Ian
euage of newspaper editors. 1t is not the
Times that represents the general English
feeling respecting this conflict. TIE Gov.
ernment, believe. sincerely wishes and
labors to keep out of the fray, and to give
no occasion Of irritation to the Federal pow
er. The Queens proclamation is surely
less favorable to the seeding States thar
is the deeree Of the French emperor. S.
tce understand II: so we mean it. Al
calm-minded men on this side are, think
of one mind, and would abhor any aliena
ton from the Federal Government.

WASHINGTON. july 16. 1861.


The Senate was artled to day during
the morning hour (Which extends from
Il to / o'clcck), by bomb-shell from a
Kansas Senator. Gen, Pomery, one of
the newly elected Senators from that State,
sent to the Secretary's table, and had read
BY its title, "a bill for the suppression Of
the slaveholder's rebellion" :" The bill
provides that all slaves belonging to the
enemies Of the government in the seeded
States, should be emanc;Pated from the
passage of the act. 1t moreover directs
the President to issue his Proclamation,
declaring their freedom, and summoning
them to enter the service of the United
States The object avowed by the mover,
who has not yet addressed the Senate, is
to make the cause of the war contribute,
in the most direct manner, toward bringing
the war to a close. Gen. Pomeroy thinks
and with reason, that 20 more effective
weapon could be used against the master
class of the South, who originated this
foul rebellion-than the emancipation o.
ther slaves, and arming them against the
public enemy This would be a single
stroke of re rbutive justice. /, would be
an insurrection against the insurrection
1t would be the engineer hoisted with hi
own petard.
