spirItnaIi.m An Nevbern.

We've been to Newbern. Spiritualism
is the chief excitement there. N. Frank
White from Massachusetts, is the alabaster
sensationist. He gives sitting at the
diffesent houses. Muck speculation is a.
float. He uses the table. All hands put
their hands on it and then after awhile the
rappings begin about the room. Rap. rap.
rap. sound all over the room. Some Of
the first citizens Of Newbern say that these
raPPings have answered everyquestion they
asked them correctly. Two raps for mo, -
three for '.yes." The spirituaIist-Mr.
White-sits of conversing and laughing
with other parties while you Nay be con
'ersing away off yonder with these myste-
riOus rappings. We believe It all. And
We believe too II i tile work Of the devil
who is just aJom nor breaking his chain
and who will tempt # possible the very elect
Of God. 81

Personal. We were pleased to see in
our Office on Monday last Capt. I. q.
EVANS, the Junior editor Of the Hillsboro
Recorder. The sight Of the Captain re-
minded Ms Of hellum times, when he, like
many other noble sons Of the. s'Sunny
South, went forthsto do battle III the
causssof liberty as wethell Supposed, but
which as Il now appears was simply re-
bcllion against 'the best government that
the would ever saw.
The personal appearance Of the Captain
was never snch as TO excite admiration, but
his noble qualities Of heart and head have
always served to hide his imperfections in
that respect. '.Long may he wave' above
the sod, and when he sinks beneath it, may
he leave other little Evanses to take his
place. '.6 ta
