~ general satisfaction. The Iromina.

State; o. gentleman of fine talents and

and graduate in Law, OF the University
OF Virginia, was 4 soldier in the Army
of Gen. breckenridge during the war,
and enjoys n reputation that will render
his choice rs Governor both honorable
and desirable. Col. Robert White. of

General, and it is not necessary to speak
of him particularly to the people of this
county. The other State officers are

we are familiar, being above our ordinary
experience; but also natural in reference
to that broader nature which is compre.
hended in the creation and government
of God. Do they not, as truly as any
thing in physics and metaphysics, open
a field for legitimate observation, and
perhaps induction?
F'ourthIy. incidents of the class we
have contemplated have a very interest
ing relation to the biblical narratives
Many wonderful events of sacred history,
such as the appearances of angels, the
vision of Stephen, and others, may have
a normal az well as supernatural Charac-
ter. They may not be altogether ex-
ccptional, but typical facts of a success
sion intended for the instruction and
comfort of believers. 1t is fair ques-
ton whether muchsof our modern chris
tianity has not been quite too Sad
ducean, believing neither in angel nor
spirit that is to say, anxious to avoid
nateriaIism and superstition in religion,
and 50 going to an extreme which leaves
little or no spiritual sub~tance on which
the soul can lay hold with defnitenes5
Of thought and joy Of anticipation. This
may partly account for some of the iS01S
Of the times. fit sees not the true,
human nature will yearn for a false
spirituaIism. 4 little more of the
Pharisee's faith, or rather Christ's VIII
dication of it, would help US. The logi-
cal effect of such incidents as have been
cited, regarded on due evidence as hay-
ing foundation.in reality, would be to
confirm the spiritual testimonies Of q
future life; and that effect has been ex-
Perienced
Further, that effect is consolation in
sorrow. 1t adds richness, defniteness,
and if l may 50 say, a spiritual soIidity
to the Apostles delightful conception of
/ the family of God in heaven and earth,
