Mr.. Sawyer presented the credentials of his
colleague, Thomas j. Robertson, re elected for
the term commencing March, 1871. 1t was
read and laid on the table.
On motion of Mr.. Stewart the credentials of
Messrs. FarrOw.and Whitley, senators elect
from Ga, were taken from the table and refer
red to the Judiciary committee.
Mr.. McCreery asked leave to introduce the
resolution, notice of which he gave yester-
day, proposing an investigation with a view to
the restoration of the Arlington estate to the
widow of Gen. Lee, the removal of the grave
yards in the premises, and general restitution
for any incumbrance placed there in the inter

Mr.. Edmunds hoped the resolution would

would in some measure have atoned for his
crime.
Mr.. McCreery supported the resolution in a
speech of twenty minntes in which he paid an
earnest tribute to the memory of Gen. Lee, ex-
tolling his military ability and declaring that
the American people would never relinquish
the property which they held in the name and
fame of the great Virginian.
Mr.. Trumbull, while disclaiming any sympa-

to surrender and mutilate the last resting
place of the union dead, argued that it would

Mr.. Trumbull replied that while the resolu

SPIRITUALIsM claims to have achieved
triumph in the acquittal of Miss Lottie Fow-
Ter, recently on trial at Bridgeport, Conn. She
pursued her avocation as clairvoyant, and in
the course of her operations predicted that the
cartridge factory in that city would explode on
certain Monday morning. The prediction of
course produced panic, and on the morning
specified about half the female operatives alb
scented themselves from work, fearful of the
terrible consequences foretold. Investigation
by the superintendent into the cause led to the
arrest of Miss Fowler, on the ground Of I'M
lawful interference with the business of the
factory. But she protested repentance and
was released. The mill did blow up on Thurs
day morning and one man was killed. Miss
Fowler was embroidered by this occurrence
and made other predictions. She was arrest
ed second time under an old law against for
tune tellers and was tried before Judge Bull
lock. Defendant pleaded not guilty. The
Judge decided that the business of clarvoy-
ant was legitimate calling, and thatthe stat
ute did interchangeable a penalty for such
cases. The respondent was Discharged. The
result increased the popularity of Miss Fow-
Ter, whose business has grown wonderfully
since Saturday.

The exhibition which is to open here next
week, is thus spoken of by California paper,
in which State it was received with the most
enthusiastic terms of appreciation:
Tue Panorama of California scenery drew a
large audience last evening. The painting is
the finest we ever saw unrOlled as moving
panorama, being as one would almost imagine,
delicate enough for each part to be framed for
parlor decoration. There is none of the coarse
daubng to be found generally on paintings Of
this kind. The famed Yosemite Valley is por-
trayed with a master hand, and its many beau
ties and grand imp osng scenery are brought
out true to nature. All the scenes, in fact,
evince an accurateness in detail seldom met
with in panoramas. Bee.

ADDITIONS TO TUE COLONY IN NEW SwE-
DEN.-About the time the Swedish colony now
settled in Aroostook left their homes in Swe-
den, another colony, one hundred in number,
left for the valley of the Mississippi, and set
tied on the Goth of May last, at Water Valley,
in the State of Mississippi. This colony was
brought over at the expense of the Mississippi
planters for whom the members were to work,
while our colony paid its own transportation.
Since arriving at Water Valley, the colony has
suffered greatly from the climate, and the re-
naming members are DESTROYS of removing to
this State. They have therefore written let
ter to w. w. Thomas, Jr., Commissioner of
Emigration for this State, who cordially invites
them by letter 10 join the colony at New Swe-
den. Other colonists in other parts of the
United States are interested in our Maine col
ony, and some from Illinois, and some from
west Of the Mississippi have joined it. Since
their arrival there has not been a single case of
sickness among the colonists in New Sweden.
