The Fools not all Dead,

In Baltimore there lives q soft headed old
dolt whose name is Moses Chase, who claims
ID be patriarch and prophet, to have been
visited by the Lord in visions, and to have
had made known to him the mysteries of fu-
turitg. He has sent us q circular, with re-
quest in writing that we should publish in the
Press, OF which the following appears to be
the title:
A vision which the Patriarch, MOSES
CHASE, saw and heard concerning the, govern
ment of the United States OF North America,
and the several States individually, on the
third day ofthe twelfth month, called D6cem-
Der, in the year One Thousand Eight hundred
and Flfty-eigtt.
THIS vision, Moses says, came upon him
while awake with his eyes shut, and the title
will afford sufficiently definite idea of the
nauseating stuff of which it is madelup. Five
editions have been published, making 10000
copies that have been printed and sold, show
ing that there are that number of fools in the
country more than is FORTS credit.
1t is astonishing what proclivity many
people have for being humbugged, and how
anything that is marvellous or defes common
sense is amost sure to find patrons. Eyes
made to see with are set aside, and the ration
al powers with which God has gifted his off
spring are laid by to show respect for the mos t
.arrabt assumptions of mountebaDks, and the
wickedest pretensions of charlatans. TIA man
refuses to listen to an attempt TO prove the
moon is made of green cheese, he is accused
of prejudice, charged with unwillingness to
investigate facts or fear to probe matters
to the bottom and so, to Vindicate his cour--
age or his freedom from prejudice, he consents
to scout his own intelligence and assumes tie
atu ude OF one who knows nothing, and is
willing to have unsettled the very foundations
of all knowledge as well as of all faith. the
Injunction to "prove all things" is well, but 10
more authoritative than the additional iDjunc-
top, to rhold fast that which is good" In
fact, the only object of proving all things is
that the good may be secured end held FAST
No consideration of free inquiry, no duty OF
invest cation, no claims of alleged fact or
truth, requires man to abandon and treat
with contempt the plain deductions ofhs own
common sense,--and the person who asks him
t. bsleYe 1t The expense of his own better
Judgment, or who asks him to set aside his in
telligence aud the Intellectual powers that God
has given him, offers the grossest insult that
1t is possible to offer to an intelligent being,
created ia the divine image.

Too STRANGE not TO BE TRUE. ATale; By Lady
Georgianna Fullerton, Authoress of ssEllen
Middleton" SC. With Illustrations. New
York: D. Appleton Co.
This is not unsuccessful attempt to revive
the romantic story, widely credited in the last
century, of the real fate of that beautiful prin-
cess of the house of Brunswick who had the
misfortune to be married to Alexis, the brutal
son of Peter the Great. The legend is that the
princess did not die, as was said, of the i'll
treatment received at the hands of her husband,
but that she was saved and secretly conveyed
away by her faithful servants, while the funeral
ceremonies were performed over a coffin filled
with wood. This story relates to her after life,
and possesses rather more than the ordinary
amount of interest.

Special Despatch to the N. Y. Tribune,
Singleton and Tobacco Passing strange
Story.

WASHINGTON, March IL, 1865.
The so-ca!ied Singleton tobacco speculation
makes a great deal vi talk, and excites com
ments that are not wholly smothered. 1t was
well known in Democratic circles here, when
Mr.. Singleton first went to Richmond, that he
went upon commercial speculation cloaked
in peace. Speculations in gold by Democrat
ic congressman surrounded his peace mission
upon his going and returning. The meeting
was not fruitless, as was SO hastily declared by
the agents of the press here. Singleton ar
ranged in Richmond for the acquisition OF
quantity OF tobacco, not by purchase with
greenbacks Or seven-thirties, but by an opera
ton that should supply the slinted rebel army
in and about the Richmond defenses with rat
ions of meat. At the very time that the
North was sacrificing men and money lavishly
under Sherman, Sheridan and Grant, to cut
Lee off from all his supplies OF food, this an
omalous enterprise and marvellously unpat-
riotic speculation is understood here to have
mad five copartners besides the active manager
all New Workers and Mcclellan Democrats
each OF whom put in $4,000. The quarter OF
a million of capital in this pool was to be in
vested in bacon bought in Baltimore and ex
changed in Fredericksburg Tor manufactured
tobacco. The transaction of course had the
cheerful assent of the rebel government and
of Gen Lee. President Lincoln's permit au-
thorizing it is said, by the Richmond papers.
to have been placed in the hands of the rebel
officer in charge of the tobacco, sent up from
Petersburg and Richmond, aud to have been
produced and shown to the Union officer who
proposed to seize and destroy it.
When the secret history of this astounding
transaction shall be made public, ii ever it
shall be, it will undoubtedly appear that this
officer had instructions from a man who is in
earnest in his efforts to smash the rebellion,
and doesn't swap horses, bacon, or politics
across the Rappahannock, to wholly disregard
any and all permits and bargains that could be
stretched over the tobacco: and to- capture
and destroy it inexorably in the face of any
and all protests and warnings. The officer
did his duty. -Four million dollars' worth OF
tobacco are said to have been lost to Il New
York firm OF Mcclellan patriots, and the I'm
ion bacon that was to feed the rebels, while
Strengthening Union men, is stopped on its
traitorous way to the traitorous swap over the
graves of the Union soldiers murdered wasted
in the Fredericksburg slaughter-pen.

Yieu.s of the Military Situation = Comments
of Richm0nG Papers - The Operations of
Gen. SIteridGn-LosSes IN the Late En00Oe-
paents near Kinston.
New YORK, March IA.
The Herald's Washington dispatch says the
military situation to night is understood to be
more promising than at any period during the
war. a~ tSf4 ytH y ~
Richmond papers Of to-day, 18Th, are filed
with doleful comments on the condition OF af-
fairs, which they represent as being desperate.
They admit that Sheridan has played the
mischief with their avenues of supplies, and
fears are expressed that he will reach Burke's
Station unopposed, and destroy the last link
b.tween Richmond and anywhere else.
1t is believed here that Sheridan has already
passed Burke's Station, the junction of the
Petersburg & Lynchburg and Richmond &
Dauville Railroad, and gone either to Sherman
or Grant. This saves Grant the trouble OF
cutting the Southside Railroad, and leaves to
Gen. Lee the alternative of starving or divid-
ing his already depleted force, and open Rich
mond to promenade for Gen. Grant.
The Herald's correspondence, dated in front
of Kinston, 18th inst, says Gen. COUGHS divis-
ion of Union troops Joined Gen. Cox on the
morning of the 18th.
During the engagements on the Sth, 9th and
10th, nearly 1000 rebels were made prisoners.
The entire Union losses in killed, wounded
and captured were estimated at not over that
number.

MASON & HAM11N,s CAR1NET ORGAN

MASON & HAslLIN's CABINET ORGAN
Such an instrument is all that is needed 10 any
church of ordinary size; and even in Trinity
Church, in this city, the grandest specimen of
the Gothic architecture on the continent DR..
Cutler, the celebrated organist, has introduced
one of them into the chancel, as better adapted
to some parts of the service, and toso class
es of MUSIC, than the great pipe organ, whose
tones make the walls tremble. In the churches
throughout the country they answer every re-
ouirement, and have already been widely
sought for and introduced. Such eminent
artists and musicians as Thalberg, Lowell Ma
sor, Zandel, Root, and many others, bear tes-
timony to their merits 10 the highest terms
aud once hesring them will satisfy the most
skep;ical that they are just what the Church
has been waiting for--somethiDg to aid with
out drowning the singing; something easily
obtained, easily kept in order, and giving
power, majesty, and melody in the worship Of
God. For this nothing is equal to the organ
and here we have an organ, sweet, solemn, So
norous. and grand, the instrument you will
love the longer you hear it.-N. Y. Observer.
