The Immortality of the Soul.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
You correspondent, 'Truth, " while denying the
Immortality OF the soul In his communication of last
Sunday asserts that
The Scriptures positive respects the OF
the soul They show conclusivey well possible
both soul and body living and dying essence.
This proposition does not appear TO agree with
that involved IN the twenty eighth chapter OF the first
book OF Samuel, where Saul converses with the
spirit OF man who was dead and OF whose iden.
t!ty the amplest proof was given; nor does 1t
accord with the views laid down in the seventeenth
chapter of Matthew, where the disciples saw the
spirit OF another dead man, Moses, speaking with
Christ; nor Is 1t in Keeping with the promise given
to the penitent thief on the cr0ss-"Ths day shalt
thou be with me In Paradise;'' does 1t conform
to the statement made py JOnn In the third OF
the nineteenth chapter OF Revelation when the
spirit OF O fellow servant appeared to him. and,
finally II is nj variance with the belief OF some OF
the most notable personages or both the Old 1eSta
ment ana the New; Tor Saul believed in the lmmor.
taty OF the soul, or ne woulu not have consulted
the woman OF Endor; and the disciples believed In
IT. alsO or they could not have supposed Christ TO
have been spirit when they perceived him walk
ing on the water. SO that after all, the Scriptures
are not so very 'Dositve" In relation to the death
OF the soul: but on the contrary most specific
regarding lis Immortality. However, il we have no
the soul, other than those drawn from remote and
superstluous ages when ignorance and gross dark
ness covered the face OF the earth the sooner we
drop the subject, and take our chances without any
further exposure oil our weakness, the better.

HOW PRISONERS ESCAPE.

A Recent Abuse Of the Habeas Corpus and

II is somewhat strange that after the outcry raised

from Sing Sing there should be systematic method
adopted allowed 10y some OF the authorities, OF
dragging prisoners from the Penitentiary under the
much.abused habeas corpus. On the oath Of August

always been of the worst description, was sentenced
from the Court OF Special Sessions for assault and bat

He pleaded guilty 10 the charge, even attempting
an allegation OF denial. AT the time Judge Bowling
recountcd TO the Court the bad record against the

As a constant reader OF your valuable paper am

maintain towards the different creeds and their con-
fessors. Ii is most laudable feature in the NEW
YORK HERALD that its aim is direc!ed to spread the
seed OF love and to eradicate the ill-weeds of re
gious hatred. The greater, therefore, was my sur
prise when, perusing the report OF the famous, or
or rather infamous, trunk tragedy " In the NEW

with the expression " Jew P" in a connection which
is apt to debase a designation borne by hundreds of

punishment, and every honest man, Christian or

OF bygOne times to abuse at such occasions the name
OF whole religious class. To describe the nation.
aIlty of q malefactor the words Polish or "Ger.
man' or "Hungarian," p" &C., Is quite sufficient. To
characterize the culpaDity Of his action rich pro-
vision of words is made in the English dictiop
aries; but what has the cuiprlt's being slew" to
do with his crimeY Why could not one OF the editors
OF the HERALD write his able editorial on the same
subject without mentioning the culprits being a

Neither his being "Chrstian" nor "Jewn Is the

his being neither OF them, Had the individual now

Mrs Appleton Oaksmifb

The lady whose name heads tn s notice is the
daughter of SignOr Rebecchipi, who was favor
ably known here some fifteen years ago as a
teacher of vocal and Instrumental music in
this city. Issotta, his eldest daughter, young
lady of musical talent and culture, became a
successful teacher of modern languages and
music, and was pursuing her vocation with
great acceptance in this city up to the time OF
her marriage with Mr.. Oaksmith.
Since that unfortunate affair large circle OF
her friends here have had their entire symDa-
thies aroused from time to time by the knowl-
edge of the terrible struggles through which
she has passed in New York city, thrilling
chapter of which was published in the Port

This lady, deserted by her husband, and un-
Justly bereft of her children, without home OF
means, managed with the utmost Industry and
irugaity to exc out for herself, with the en-.
couragement of sympatbizing friends in New
York city, fair maintenance. Every one who
hears her story feels instinctively the keen de
mands of her situation and the strong appea
OF generous spirit, struggling with the Sc
verest trials humanity is called TO eudure.
Mrs. Oaksmith is sQjourniDg awhile in ou

Boston, Sept 13.-The Massachusetts, Board
OF Railroad Commissioners have issued Cir
cular requesting the several railroad compa-
MES OF the State, through their proper officers,
To meet them tor conference on the 18th inst
in Boston. The Com nissoners say in the
course OF the investigation OF the causes of the
late accident at Revere, certain facts nearly
affecting the whole railroad system OF the State
were clearly established, to three of which they
wish to call the particular attention of railroad
managers, with a view to preventing, in SO far
as possible, the recurrence of any such calami-
u in the future. The Commissioners maintain
that the cause of the disaster at Revere was
wholly unnecessary, inasmuch as the ATTEMPT
OF the company to operate single track branch
road without the and of the telegraph led i'm
mediately to the collision, which might have
been avoided by the application OF this, one OF
the oldest, most ordinary and least exp nsive
of appliances ia operating railroads. The sec.
ond fact established 10 the evidence was that
the coilldlng train discovered the train ahead
OF it in ample time to have prevented the dis
aster had the train been euuipped with brakes
operated iustantaneously FROM the locomotive
Instead of the old-tash,oned band brake Third,
1t further appeared in the evidence, and was
in no way contr0verted by the company, that
the stations upon this part OF their road were
but short distance apart, and that every IA
cilty so far as employee, etc, was concerned
existed for very perfect system of signals in :
dicating the proximity OF trains. No such ap-
pliauces were, however, in use, nor indeed had
their adoption ever been considered.

SHIPS ALARM PUMP.-Mr Ezra Haskell, of
Dover, N. H., yesterday exhibited on Long
Wharf his invention of an alarm pump to be
used on shipboard, which combines some valu-
able principles, and may, with some contem-
plated improvements, De brought into general
use. 1t is simple in construction, aud not only
can pump water from ships hold but drafts
its own water by means of a hose through the
scuppers and plays quite an effective sire
for fire purposes or washing decks. Air is also
compressed by means of the pump in a metal
air chamber, to which fog whistle is attached.
Mr.. Haskell has adopted simple system of
telegrabhic signals for the whistle, by which
messages ean-be sounded the same as is done
by the magnetic telegraph instruments The
apparatus is not costly, and occupies but little
room on deck. Mr.. Haskell proposes to adopt
the invention to the use of factories, and mou n
IL on wheels for village fire departments.
