SPIRITUALISM.
It Reaches - Higher PIane-Its Last
Most Disgusting and Immoral Ex-
hfhffEnu
From the New York World of the 6th.

hibifiOn.
From the New York World of the 9th.
The town talk of Newark, for the past
few days, has been concerning the doings
OF the spiritualists. 1t appears that this
miserable delusion has at last reached a
stage in which its victims are little re-
moved from maniacs. A knot of the more
exalted disciples of the sect having seeded
from the original spiritualist headquarters
in Bank street, have established themselves
at an old engine house in the tenth ward,
where they have sort Of printing and
publishing codcern, FOR the purpose OF dis
terminating the dogmas and principles of
this the latest phase of spiritualism.
The phrase used to illustrate this new
movement is that its promoters have
reached higher plane" 1t seems to re-
semble the antinomialism of some of the
ancient sects of the Oneida community in
that Its professors claim that they are freed
from the restraints of the moral law, and
that their actions are without sin. Having
reached this desirable conviction a certain
order of results was sure to follow, but in
this case the parties seem to have developed
delusions of horribly gross character.
The leader of these higher plane vi
sionaries is a Scotchman, named McGowen,
who has figured as a spiritualist, in New
ark, dnring the last two years. For some
tine he has been boarding in Pacific street
with respectable widow, the mother of
six children, of whom the eldest is a
daughter aged nineteen. He has unfortu,
nstely succeeded in inoculating the adults
of the family with his outrageous notions
until raging epidemic of immortality and
shamelessness seems to have possessed
them; and they profess to set at defiance
all the laws which govern society.
On New Years night the parties put the
climax to their mad freaks Hitherto they
had kept the practical part of their creed
to themselves; but the "sperrits" having
indicated that the new faith was to be pro-
mulgated at the beginning of 1868, ar
rangements were made by McEwen and his
devoted disciples, the widow Reeves and
her daughter, for such a public exhibition
as Newark, and, it is TO be hoped, the
United States in general, had never seen
before. At nine o'clock on New Years
night, McEwen in a state of nudity, and
Miss Reeves in a similar condition of
unadorned simplicity, appeared at the win
dow, informing the amazed crowd which
quickly gathered round that they were
"Adam and Eve" 1t is even stated that
party Of people was permitted to enter the
house and hear lecture upon the new
faith.

ANOTHER REPORT.

On Friday last Chief of Police Clarke,
of Newark, accompanied by two officers
and n couple of physicians, made descent
upon a house in Garden street, near Pa
cifc, formerly occupied by Fire Company
No. 13, and arrested spiritualist who
styles himself DIR. William McEWen. to-
gether with a couple of his disciples, one a
Miss Marsh, from Railway, aged thirty-fve
years, and the other a girl about nineteen,
who is represented to be her adopted daugh-
ter, all three of whom were occupying the
same room. After talking with DR.. Nc
Even, the physicians were satisfied that he
was fanatic of the worst kind, and fit only
for confinement in a lunatic asylum. The
two women argued their peculiar doctrines
with considerable ingenuity and intelli-
gence, but both discaimed belief in the
doctrine Of free love. The chief and party
also visited the house of a widow woman
with six children, at the corner of Chest.

spectacle character. DIR. McEwen an,
pears to have gained an influence over
the family, and nearly all ofthem have be-
come monomaniacs on the subject. The
neighbors state that during the past few
DAYS the conduct of the Doctor, who boards
there, and the mother and daughter has
been disreputable in the extreme, all three
exhibiting themselves at the windows at
times in state of nudity, and otherwise
conducting themselves 10 an outrageously
indecent manner The physicians conversed
! with the mother and daughter until they
were satisfied that both were demented
upon spiritual matters, and by their advice
the daughter was sent to the station house
in charge of an officer. A prominent citi-
zen of Newark, on Friday, by request Of A
relative called at the house Of the widow
woman to see if something could not be
done to put stop to these disgracefuI pro-
ceedings He was ushered into an I'M
furnished room in which were the man
McEwen and several members Of the
family. On the floor lay something covered
with blanket and upon lifting a corner
of it the woman jumped up, stark naked,
and embracing him frantically, said, lam
glad to see you; 1 will save you. am the
mother of Christ" She then dropped
down on her knees and scrapsd the floor
with her hands until the blood came. Then
taking her young child she besmeared il
and herself with blood, and declared it was
the blood of the Saviour. Afterward the
woman was clothed, and McEwen declared
himself to be Jesus Christ, and desired
that three nails should be brought that he
might be crucihed. The people in the

Mn. EpIroR-DxAR SIR :-In your paper of the
18th appeared an article, headed "The FftH
Prospect" by which, however, unwillipgly on
your part or on the part of the WRITER very erro-
neous impressions are conveyed IN regard to the
arrangements made by the various Railroad COM
panies for the transportation OF peaches from our
State to New York. In that article, the public
are told that "The peach growers have had sew
eral severe and yexatious years. During
the war; their crops, in many cases, were left to
rot in the orchards for want of boats and ears, to
transport them to markets and subsequently, the
crops have failed in many places, and 'eheie The
crop icas large transportation tcds again tdekiag.
The Railroad companies made great effort to
prepare for the prompt removal OF this freight
last year. and had there been only light crop 1t
scould hare had ample means. But the crop was
large, and the arrangements with the various lines
Imperfect, or misunderstood by many persons.
Hence the peach growers in many instances were
disappointed"
The :. lack of transportation" here stated tt
have occurred subsequently" to the war, Is al
together imaginary, and the direct opposite to TIT
fact. Since the period when the means OF transpor
tation were to great extent monopolized by til,
paramount demands of the Government, in meet
ing the emergencies arising from the war. there
has been no lack whatever Of means for tn,
prompt transportation of all peaches offered. Al
respects " last year." (1S67) the only one abov'
specified and most particularly referred to in tn,

means of transportation provided, and held rea

road companies) instead of being shortof the de
mand were largely in excess of the demand The,
were ample for the immediate transportation o
about fifty (5O) per cent. more peaches than tn
quantity offered; and every basket offered wa
pushed forward with dispatch.
AS an act of sheer justice to the Railroad com
panies, you will of course, deem it due to then
as well to the public to give to this correctio
the same publicity you have given to the artcl
that has rendered ii necessary.
