"S,vr ALL A DREAM"

On the third page Of this paper, under
the head Of Extraordinary Dreams" the
reader will find very interesting collection
of facts concerning dreams. That several
Of the cases mentioned, at least, were some-
thing more than dreams, few will question
who are in the slightest degree inclined to
credit spiritualism, or who are in the small
e:t measure superstitious. We have some
testimony to offer in this connection, and it
is with the view Of giving it that we direct
attention to the extraordinary dreams allud-
ed to.
In August, 1860, as many Of our readers
still remember, we lost by death our oldest
son, James, then in his fourteenth year
On the night after his death, during one Of
thewakeful moments occasioned by poignant
grief at our bereavement, we were vouch-
safed vision Of our loved son, in which
he seemed in his former natural state, full
Of life and health, and his countenance
more than usually radiant with happiness
No words were uttered none were needed !;
the expression Of the face and the attitude
Of the figure, as subsequently recalled to
mind, rendered utterancc unnecessary. The
effect was instantaneously to soothe and allay
our grief. Immediately afterwards, with a
feeling that we had no. lost our dear boy
but that he still lived, We fell into a re-
freshing, unbroken slumber, which contin-
ucd until our usual time OF rising. Ever
since, in associating his death with his sub
sequent appearancc--call it but dream, if
you will-we have experienced feeling
that went far to reconcile us to our loss.
In about thirty days after his death, We
received letter from sister living in New
ark. N. j., several thousand miles distant.
and to whom We had not written for many
months, communicating the wonderful intel
ligcnce that she had been informed Of our
bereavement! by whom, does the reader
suppose Why, by the spirit of our boy
himself She could learn Il by no other
medium, and communicate It this distance
in the same SPACE Of time. Her knowledge
Of the event was almost simultaneous with
his death, and within twcnty-four hours
she mailedltoius her letter announcing it.
She, at least, did not dream when she oh.

Favorable notice ID made Of the present clean

taken TO reuumber the houses on Main street

repairs are reported going forward. Washing
ton and Fourth streets have been lighted with
gas.
On the 10th the river WAS rising at rapid
rate. The Argzs says; Monday she rose at
Che least calculation At least two feet and halt,
and the rise is sill coming and hsble to last tor
some DAYS. The rise has been lower this spring
than for years before, and river men feared that
steamers would, ere the cad Of summer, be GEM
PEELED to run On heavy dew from present sp-

On the 9Eh the weather Was chill and bleak,
with chill wind prevailing all day. Business
was not very brisk, and the principal stir on the

longing to the government. The port list shows
eight arrivals and some departures of steamers.
There was no stir in the cotton market. Hold
