Naiiant, Aug. 1, 1859. Dm Mil. Eimon: I have lioen informed nwiy times within the last Tew months Unit 1 im represented to havo become not only a believer in the preposterous fables of the Sirittrjlist, Init a medium, or, as the ex cellent Mr. Stiles cuIIh it, a mecjum. I suppose the rumor has been put in circula tion in order to verify tho prediction inndo by hand of spirits through the mrrjuni ihip of the aforementioned Stiles, that " Professor Felton would become a nieejutn, thouih the tpmilx would have a hard tus sle with him Drst." Of course, no one believes this least of all the original inventor. None of the lead en in the imposture believe it, for they do not helicvo in their own pretensions. They have succeeded in duping others; they have not succeeded in duping themselves. The fnct is and they know it that every one of their pretensions has been utterly dis proved. The experiments nt the Albion proved as the impostors themselves knew they would prove the utter turpitude of the cheat; and the decision of tho judges, with the brief but most significant warning against the dangerous and demoralizing ef fech of tho imposture and delusion, struck blow at tho whole scheme from which it lias not recovered, nnd never will recover. When I speak of tho leaders in Spirit iarn as impostors, I do not moan to assert that all of them arc destitute of faith in its claims. Tiicre arc a few who, having had the misfortune to have their klicf in Chris tianity undermined by wlmt is called ration alism, but should be called irrnt'onnlism, snatch at tho poor juggleries of table-tii-pin; to supply the plucc of the lost faith. There are others pcoplo of weak judg mcut and excitable nerves who havo been wrought upon by tho legerdemain of such crafty managers as Mrs. Hayden, Mr. Mansfield, and the rest of the deceiving crcW) and hare really believed these vulgar trusters are chosen by departed spirits to communicate with the survivors on earth. Others still, astonished nt the volubility of the tranee-spcokers, open their eyes in won der, and believe that spirits Are speaking through their organisms. There WAS a young man a Mr. Whiting who pro tended that the spirit of an Italian io:t ould improvise poetry, on any subject, through his organism. 1 1 is claims were accepted in twenty-otic States of the Union where his exhibitions had been given. When, however, I put the question to the spirit whether he intended to improvise in Ji nativo tongue, to the utter confusion of Hie medium, lie was obliged to confess that lie never gave that test except in private. Mrs. Hatch, by far the ablest of the trance siicakers, after having been the great pillar of Spiritism, as they all admitted, was com pletely exposed in Lynn and Boston. To msthcniaticnl question she gave a wrong snswer, asserting that a thing can be done which is demonstrably impossible; but, in stead of doing it, tho spirits, through her organism, promised that the problem should w solved within a month, and the name of tw spirit solving it should be transmitted with the document, " or," said the spirits, ' we will confess that we are disgraced for ever. That was two years ago; the prob lem has not been solved, and the spirits must accordingly admit that they are dis Faced forever. I have known ono or two cases where, Tor a time, persons have been caught by the delusion, and have honestly believed them les rapping, speaking, and even writing nwdiums. These self-delusions have, how Ter, lasted but a short time; and the vic tims to their own imaginations have waked Jo the truth, like patients suddenly recover ing from a dose of ether or gas. I have no Hesitation in saying that there have been eh temporary mediums, who began by winding themselves and ended by deluding thers; ud I have no little hesitation in MJwg fhaUhe swarm of mediums of every Jrt, wh we weekly announced in the Uaonerof Light' and the ' Spiritual Age,' "a who, after the exposures tltat have ta en plicei continoe iheir incantations, are eats and impostors of the worst descrip tion, and onght to be brought under the Pwltiesoftheaw.

The consequence of the discussion was first to induce people who nro inclined to listen to its pretensions to examine- a little more closely; to apply tests: to see for themselves. The moment this was done. Spiritualism lost nil credit with persons Of tho least penetration. Some- of its pre tended phenomena have been witnessed in ' cultivated circles, nnd for a short time shall be tho fact, and the Douglas men do caused surprise and perplexity.

I am afraid my friend Allen Putnam, one of the best of men, still believes in the horrid and blus- ihemous cheat, but I am sure he cannot stund it much longer.

Somo time since a Washington corres pondent of the IJuffulo Republic intimat ed thnt the firc-cuters of Charleston would mob Douglas and his friends at the great Convention in 1S60. The following ex tract from a letter from Milwaukee, Wis., to tho Chnrleston News would seem to indicate that the Douglas chins are mar- slialin" for the struggle in more senses than one: " Wisconsin will send a delegation of live hundred of her Democratic sons to accompany tho Delegates of the State Convention to bo chosen next month. These five hundred aro all Douglns Democrats-. Minnesota sends a delegation of three hundred iVliiffias men, Michigan eight hundred, idtta five hundred, Ohio ono thousand, Illinois fifteen hundred, Pennsylvania one thousand, New York one thousand, and nearly all the New England States one thousand each. This is a secret plan; nnd It is understood that Douglas will havo nt least twenty thou sand friends in Charleston during the Convention." Gov. Chase, in his late speech at Sandusky, says that the Democrats of Ohio decline to discuss local and financial mat ters. He adds: "All that they seem to soy is 'nigger, nigger, nigger.' I don't know but in thus discussing and assailing the negro, they act npon the principle so highly recommended in athletic contests, to take one of their own size. (Laughter.) But, fellow citi zens, it does seem to me that we have other questions which interest us, in this country, besides this question of slavery, and ques tions, too, to which we should pay a good deal of attention."

We don't think, therefore, that Donglus stands any chance for the Presi dency in 18 GO. Ho will, in our opinion, be beaten at Charleston. If not delentcd there, he will be repudiated by the people, And if neither the defeat at Charleston nor the repudiation of the pcoplo ends him, ho will be finished in the House if the election goes there.'' A ProQtable Comceru. Buchanan, Cobb & Co. nre doing a pret ty smart business about these times, iu car rying on National affairs. What with dis honest office holders, speculating contracts, thieving contractors, 4c., the balance sheet is an awful one. The Lawrence Republi can thus posts the books: Buchanan, Cobb & Co., began business on the fourth of March, 185?. They then had on hands, in surplus funds, $2",000i000-. On the 30th of June, l85t, they had only $17,000,000. On the 1st of January, 1858, they had only $000,000. On the 10th of Janrtary, 1858, they bor row $20,000,000. In August, 1858, $10,000,000. In Jannery, 1859, $10,000,000 more. And now they waut $30,000,000 to com mence a debt of $500,000,000. It is understood that Uncle Sam means to discharge his present financial managers before long, and have a new set.

Next year the 8th census of the United States is to bo taken This enumeration is one of the most labor ious and difficult tasks the Government has to perforin. A timely suggestion is made by tho National Intelligencer, which is wor thy of consideration, and which we quote in tho hopo tliut it may be heeded before the census-takers shall bo called upon to dis charge their duties. Tho suggestion is this: " That each farmer this full, as he gathers his crops, shall keep something like tin ac curate account of the quality und value of the same; and if ho will take tho trouble to inukc out a stutemcnt of the names aud ages of his family; the number of acres ot land cleared and timbered; the number nnd ages of his servants; the number and value of his horses and mules; the number of bales of cotton, barrels of corn, bushels of wheal, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, 4c, and the value of each, and leave it iu somo place whero any member of the family, who inny be at homo when the deputy marsnul shall call, cut) readily get hold of it, it will save time to nil concerned, and very greatly as sist to make the census returns perfect, com plete and satisfactory." JOT The Fort Smith (Ark.) Times re cords tho re-election of John Ross as Chief of tho Cherokccs. " Thcro is but little doubt os to tho re election of John Ross, as Principal Chief of the Cherokee NatroTr-tlieye being no op position. Here wo hwcan.iusta4wtlu4unio'r about 3,000, love of power. . .Ross was elected PrinoipalL. Chief of the Cherokee Nation, under the first Constitution, in tho fall of 1H28, at New Kchota, Georgia, and has been the Chief ever since, being re-elected every four years. Ho was the Chief in 1838 when the whole tribe removed West, nnd after settlement here, and the adoption of their present Constitution, was chosen Chief, and so great is his popularity thnt it is deemed useless by those opposed to him to run any person against him. Although he is now over sixty years of age, he still clings to power with a wonderful tenacity, having exercised the office of Chief over thirty years. " Mr. Ross lias been a public man among tho Cherokees all his life, and we believe he was in power as President of the Cherokee Committee, as early as 18:20. lie is nearly white, being the descendant of Daniel Ross, a Scotchman, who married a daughter of McDonald, a Scotchman, who married a Cherokee woman.

Up iu gtirrets iu ont of lhc-way places sometimes furnished like a parlor, sometimes worse than a pig-pen is his sanctum sune torum, the " holy of holies." Arc you par tial to frowns? Do you wish to hear a growl? Disregard the notices of " hditor s Room," "Private," "No Admittance," and enter the tltn; you observe the con tracting brow; you do not know whether you are saluted or insulted; your tougiio proposes to speak, and your legs incline you to run away; a head lifts itself; a worn pen and inked fingers point you a scat, which it lukes you an instant to reach, but ere you have done so, the monster has his clutches so deeply in an idea that he lias lorgotten your existence. There you sit ; you try to count the pyramids of newspapers, and wonder if to be an editor is necessary to bo a savage, ion see looks ami mups; uui on would as soon meddle with the cub of a bear as anything iu which the wild animal before you has nn interest. Delegations of devils," from tho printing-office, como for " copy," and a great ninny things are going on which are strange to you. Other gentry como in, who glance contemptuously t yourself. They sent themselves, and you luiir nothiug but scratch, scratch, with gold pens, steel jns, and goose quills; they pull at their whiskers; they clear their throats; they look up at tho ceiling; tiny help each other when their ideas run aground; they write and re-write; they ex punge Htid amend; they become cheerful if iheir productions please them, and crusty if they do not. Now, remember that this mental toil must go on by day and by night, when tho head is dizzy by sickness, and tho heart weary with sadiicus, that it entails study, research, and thought; that thu themes nro suggested anil discussed within the hour; and you will understand why you nro not wanted in nn editor's sanctum. Presently, however, ho will talk to you ; ho will cut short your long speeches; ho will bring yon at once to your business; he will dispatch it, nnd you will at onco discover that necessity, if not inclination, urges linn to resume his pen. Jn summer, wnen ino flowers arc so tempting, at miduight, with the glare of artificial light pouring upon him, there ho is a toiling slavo. Ho writes of your pleasures ho adds to your joys. Do you ever think of his exhausted brain, his fading life, his premature death; Litera ture was, perhaps, a passion of his boyhood, and ho has pursued tho wicked phantom from year to year, finding, iu tho gratifica tion of a refined taste, seme small reward A' or his paiuful infatuation.
