In connection with this sulject, let "
stats tAat H. Skinner II furnished uswith
what he terms brief and comprehensive
outline ofths Third Rsvslatioa e fallen man,
for publication, and in order to crafty the
inquisitive nature Of respectable and We
trust. discrimisativs POSITION Of mankind.
We have published NJ. SINNERS communi-
cation. We trust Tat what he says win Be-
rod with becoming care and candor. His
thrust at our cotempon-y for daring to slor
the idea that he isa Revalator, is powerful
and no doubt, well deserved. Men Of as
much good sense - the editors Of the paper
alluded to, claim, ought to be ''lampooned'
for their thouehaess sindiscrinination Read
and reflect:
Mn. EDITOR :-Whm I public paper can
be SO corrupt - to speak irrevercntly of
the Bible, Of what is tho very same thing,
"Thc Last Revelation Of God," which is
continuation Of it, and appeal to our own
eyes, as well as our ears, we shudder at the
morals of our land, aud look with pity and
contempt on those who resort to such dis
honorable means to accomplish their ends.
We have said this - lAmpoon writer in
the Gazette, for coupling the word holluci-
nation with the nasne Of Robert s. Skinner,
and leaving out several words in our COM
munication to that paper.
Three dogs of the most beautiful appear
ance were seen bounding before my office
door, In the city Of Cincinnati, crouching
down before me and pointing me out q :
Moses and David when others were seen
at my window, referring to the white temple
in the garden Of Eden; it is timo for al
good men to look to me rs the agent Of
God. sa
This, however, Is not all. We find the
appointment was confirmed by stag hound,
. pink dog and a wclf5iog, IS well as grey
hound Of the noblest appearance, persona
ting the Highest. -.
This was followed By four white cranes,
incorporating me among their number, and
associating me ~ one Of the coordinate
judges, who viii havs power to punish my
enemies hersaitse.
The appointment Was afterwards confirm
ed In this city, while ) cattle show was ex.
hibiting at one end Of 'crime alley" be-
tween 4th and 9Th streets. Three ravens
were seen descending on one another, hav-
ing, on this occasion, referred to the iudg-
ment day, when men would call upon tho
rocks and the caves to cover them from the
wrath Of God.
Subsequently 70 this, burning crater
was opened ON the lot of Mr.. Macklot, be-
cause it is enclosed by logs like the logs that
were used to enclose the cattle show. on the
occasion referred to, and because the whole
human family are re(prred to in that lot as
emb)smaaic Of sFair Hin In Maryland q ne
ferred to in my petition to Congress"
subsequently to this, four white swans,
in company with nineteen others. came to
my window in the country, as the white
cranes had sixteen years before, to defend
their Moses and their David, and threaten
all with punishment hereafter for medita.
ting wrong to my person.
Here we see God making use Of natural
agents as in the Old Testament, when flre
came down on four occasions and burnt up
the sacrifice that had been prepared.
Here We see the three persons Of the trim
ity acting in way very similar to that
when they appeared before the tent door Of
Abraham, previous to the destruction of the
Cities of the Plain.
Who is there who would not like to take
one look at the brazen signet and have on
the wedding garment before the coming Of
his Lord.

REPoRr.-We expected ere this to be
able to furnish q report Of the receipts and
expenditures Of the Donation Fund raised
for the benefit of the needy families of SOL
diers on the 31st Of December, but up to
this time we have been unable to do SO, the
donation and relief books not having been
closed. The public may rest assured that
the committee will do justice to ell concern
ed in this respect, IS soon as may be.
PERsoNAL.-His Excellency, Gov. Stone
is spending few days in this city, on i'm
portant business connected with the draft.

to be determined.
Gen. Baker arrived here from Columbus
Ohio, to-day, where he has been attending
= Convention of Adjutant Generals.
THE Observation-Disclosures Of some soft
weather are obvious ct the present time, and
likely enough the magnificent bridge of ice
across the river is Of sho-t duration.
