We think the case in 1st Head, page X4, and lrt Hneexi, puge IU, do uot control this oane. First, because in these cases, the parties contracted in ignorance either of the actual terms or lega etlect of the private or special act. Here it was not pretended that Brinkley was ignorant of the terms or effect of the Nicolaon pavement act. He only did not know it.- unconstitutionality that is, he was ignorant of the terms and ef fects of the constitution. Second, these were cases in which it was only nought to avoid the performance of the execu tory contracts uot to open and set aside an ended transaction, so that theme who paid for the Nieolson will now have to pay again in taxes. A fight occurred on DeHoto street Monday evening, which resulted in the infliction of a dangerous wound on a black scamp, who now lies in a low shanty in Hell's Half-acre with a pistol Uillet in his thigh. This negro's name is Ab Brown. He went into Dick Do herty's saloon, at the corner of Oayoso street, in company with Charley Moody. Doherty was on the point of going to his supper at the time, and had just given iiiiip instructions to his deputy. While passing by Moody aud Brown, who were standing at the counter, Brown hauled ott' and hit him on the jaw with his clenched fist, not a word having passed between them up to that time. Doherty pulled out his pistol aud beat Brown over the head with it, but says he did not shoot him. A pistol wae tired, however, and a hole made h: Brown's thigh. The liall went in sev eral inches, so that the victim was laid out.

Amice You ask me why I do not go ami visit Mr. Foster, in order to investi gate the phenomena of spiritualism, and what I think of spiritualism now. I must stab', that my time does not allow me to give you an elaborate state ment, and allow me to answer shortly aud well, in an inverted order, your cate gorical questions. What I think of spiritualism now is the same as I did always " an old story, and an old prac tice, nearly forgotten, revived." It has been told by all ancient authors, sacred and profane, aud practiced by barbarous and seui-barbarous nations, and also for the last quarter of a century among so-called civilized people; but it never had its advocates among the pure scien tist! of auy profession nrver. What is spiritism now? Nothing. It is only in its infancy in the United States of America. In ancient times people uever died, never; they only dis appeared for progress sake; their chairs were set at every meal; the dead prayed and sung in the families as before; they appeared regularly, not spasmodic; the dead appeared as physicians, and were more reliable than our doctors. The spirit of a dead man told Valerius A?r, a blind soldier, to take the bhssl of a white cock and honey and rub them together, and rub his eyes three days, and he was cured so was Caius. Juliana-, given up by all the doctors, was told by the spirit to eat seeds of the pine with honey, and he lived. Only those who were unbelievers were in danger to die a premature death. Consumption, hydrophobia, and chronic diseases of all Kind were curable. In numerable are recorded. Spiritual me diums made themselves invisible, melted metal with their hands, produced fin out of uothiug, revived the dead, made metal float as water, walked in the air, all in daylight. Made the spirit of the dead respond in their natural voicts, to all queetious asked them by their relatives ami friends, made the dead appear in any garment it was wout to wear, and thu. inade it recognizable beyond doubt. Iu short the dead knew all of the past, aud revealed the future. But Cicero didn't be lieve in it, (de Divinatione, lib. ii). Aris totle didu't believe in it, for hear him : "Hut if we admit that they were not (he mere craft aud tricks of men it does not follow that anv divinity pre sided over them 5 (origin con tra eel me us, lib. vii)." Why I do not visit Mr. Foster is simply liecause I never could get any satisfaction out oi the modern mediums, they are not to be com 'tared to their predecessors at all, they do not know their a b c's yet, and when 1 call upon them, and you know I visited many of them, the satisfaction I received was, that I always came, when the conditions were unfavora ble. My spirit friends or relatives were none to be found ; they would not, they could not come; the medium Ls very sorry, very affable, very poiite. ate -tells me to call again. Now, I veuture to say, I will write the names of a doen ir so ot my friends and relatives who ;ire dead, a dozen of savant who are lead long ago, on slips of paper, folded, and if the eminent seer can tell or spell my of their names I would te satisfied. 1 will write these names in the same 'liaracters as the so-called spirits were wont to write their names when they were living. I will go further ru lather's name was Joseph. He died w hen I was a babe. I have his hand writing in three different books. If the seer cau imitate or spell it, or pro nounce it, I will say the spirit of the de parted was present. If the seer can pro- luce the spirit of the first Evan gelist, aud write his name as he was wont to do when living, or that of Moses, it will be a great test. and you 'mow that I am no unfamiliar with t mode of writing ot those times. But I . Foster, or any other medium. annot perform the feat; and, hence, 1 iave no interest in it. It reminds me f the great spiritualist, Apias, who said ie could call up spirits and send them to ask Homer ,of what country he was. DO who were his parents, but that he lid not aare to divulge the answer Ptin. Sat. Ilist., xxx. 6). With these few lines I must conclude. If you want know more about spiritualism, see Chamber' Encvelaijcdia, and Dana's. w here you find the works written, pro nd con, on the subject enumerated; and can U"id you a copy of the Apocatas- isis, a troarcss isackwara a new tract of the times Buringtou's Chawi- y uootlnrh of 1 vh which, strange to ay, both encvclopedia have overlooked, and which seems very rare. I have the uly copy in Memphis, totcs laus. the full maturity of its development. All the good we now gee, when it is be hind it, has led the mind from material ism to the belief of the immortality of the soul. Some minds, from native or ganism or education, are so coarse and material as to reject the doctrine of im mortality, as taugtit by the inspired Scriptures aud clear reasonmg are taught readily and embrace fully the grand fact of man's immortality through this instrumentality. If this star of hope which springs up in his soul inspiri-s him wilh new aspirations, and widens the sphere of his happiness, who knows but it may also lead him to the torn i l he cross, and finally to heaven.

Dr. Graves to a small extent. I do not claim to be either for or against the pretentions of modern "spiritualism" as an actuality, but I do insist that the treatment of its claims to truth has not received fair play at his hands. First, he denies its claims to truth upon a five minutes' in vestigation, with a theory of his own, faund before going there, only to be more thoroughly convinced ny his short investigation. Is this the way for a philosopher to settle a tmestion that is believed by millions of the baman race, in all civilized countries? An investi gator of any phenomena, if he wishes to arrive at truth, must first divert his mind of all prejudice and previous con ceptions. Secondly, Dr. Graves thinks from this very imperfect investigation that it is "animal magnetism" aud "clairvoyance." This does not touch the great tpuestion, whether or uot the spirits of our departed do communicate with the living through certain medium under favorable conditions. This is the question at issue, no matter whether they use "animal magnetism" of the 1 living organism or use any other means j ii it known to us. Is the peculiar phe nomenon called "spiritualism" caused by disembodied spirits who once inhali ited the body, or is it not? This is the ipiestian to settle, nor is it any great feat ar so-called teat to be ignored because of ! a seeming tendency of such facts. These J are the meditations of our own mind, i inijierfectly drawn from an imperfect understanding of the subject. For illus- I tration, when geology was first culti vated as a great natural science, it was condemned by the theological world as warring against the Holy Scriptures. ! Now, but few of the learned world but! see it not only harmoiii7.es with the Scriptures, but gives them powerful sup port. I need not mention the case of Galileo having to suffer in prison for being in advance of his age in the great truths of our planetary movement. Yet Dr. Graves is guilty of this very error. Thirti Foster is an infidel and dis believer of the Scriptures. I should uot lie surprised if he is all this. How does this affect the truth, if it be a truth. This is a side issue, aud is uot gernian to the question 'before us. He infers, s.Iso, that it teaches the doc trine of universal salvation. Here is an other instance of his own induction. But admit that it does, this is no argument against the truth of the phenomenon, if it be a truth. No well balanced Christian mind could be led astray from the truth of laid, as taught by Christ and his Apostles, by any such teaching, as comes through " spiritual " teaching. Who is of so little mind as to take such teaching as tne rule ot life, in relation to his deep and everlasting j w ell-being. He is a poor thinker that would give up the great standard of truth as revealed in the Bible, for such i silly aud unsatisfactory communications j as we see published from time to time, as coming from their spiritual meetings. 1 will suppose that they are really what t! -ey claim lo be from the disembodies I j spirits; I then infer that they are no wiser now than when tion earth; they i know as little of God and the Saviour! now as then; they lived and died; dislielievers iu the divinity of Christ; they still remain so. What extreme fol i ly, then, to look to such a source for moral aud religious instruction. Let us : take "spiritualism" for what it is worth, no more, no less. If it be a fact, it is a he l that has had its present in the Di vine mind, and did exist, or might have existed, in all the ages of the past, and iu all countries, where the conditions were harmonious for its manifestation. Ifitleaii actuality-, it is governed by laws allowed, or given h I he haiuih and All-Wise, as He has given to all things in His vast economy. We can uot yet tell what it will conduct to tn LAW REPORTS. First 4'bMncery riinrt-aorxaii, I'hau- cellor. The argument in the case of Belcher vs Wickersham will be resumed this morning.

To one familiar with the matter, this will be known as unusual success.

The recoveries upon the whole number admitted, has beu about forty-five per ceut., some ten per cent, above tlie usual average iu such cases.

There was a fair amount of business done at the landing yesterday consider ing the limited number of boats receiv ing and discharging. The Tom Jasper came up during the morning with one hundred and fifty bales of cotton ami fifty tons of miscellaneous freight, which she put out, and alter cleaning her boil ers left for Cairo with four hundred antl fifty tons of sugar antl molasses. The Susie Silver was busy receiving all tlay and left at night with two hundred tons of oil-cake, sixteen hundred bales of cotton, fifty tons miscellaneous freight, and had two hundred bales of cotton en gaged at Helena. The A. J. White past five o'clock, however, a party of three, two men and one woman, were noticed standing upon the boiler-deck forward, and nearly obscured from view by the huge pile of cotton on the Isjw of the boat. Both the men had doffed their hats, and one was noticed talking earnestly to the man and woman standing directly in front of him, with their arms en twined al sut each other, causing a shade of suspicion in the mind of our curiosity-bunting reporter aa to whether the ueer proceedings did not signify a wed ding, and, elbowing his way through the i-rowu, he found a certain Justice of the Peace just about concluding the marriage ceremony tltat made the two happy for life. The pair, it seems, be came acquainted a tew ilays ago at a small railway station in Geor gia, and came here by rail to gether, but before they arrived here, they resolved that they must lieeame one. The man had no responsi bilities and wanted to assume a few, which he diti by taking to wife the widow with four children. The nuptial knot tied, the husband drew forth from his pocket a greasy wallet and paid the " 'Squire" two dollars and a half for the little trouble he had put him to, and at once turned bis attention to the house hold property belonging to his new wife, which had not been carried aboard the boat, and the last we saw of him he was going up the steep stage-plank wilh a huge bundle of bedding on his hack, with which to make himself and his new-found family comfortable for the night. Some of the boat's crew told him, I -far., the boat left, that the Cap- j tain was terribly vexed that he did not ! make known his intention, when be could have had the ceremony performed j in the cabin, but he thought ''itmout! as well be outside as inside," but subse quently apologized to Captain Shields for not consulting him. By a letter received last night from one of the pilots of the Cherokee, we learn that she lies easy and nearly straight, with the water half way be tween her boilers and boiler-deck aft, ; and over the boiler-deck railing forward. She has two timbers broken, and half a ; dozen twisted and bent, and a hole in ! her hull near the stern rudder on the starboard side as large as a door barrel, but an. it is thought, be raised. In ber j hold was one hundred and twenty-eight hales of cotton, which had not been taken out wlen last heani from. The Oil City was alongside, but had done i but little. A telegram sent from Cincinnati at noon yesterdav announces the arrival there of several more coal tows, in cluding the following boats: My Choice and Stella, for Cincinnati, and the Lake No. 2, James Gilmore, John Gilmore. and Sam Clark, for Louisville. The same dispatch says: "The Leonora was left high and dry ou the Lank at Fifth street, and has broken in two. Her cabin is iu danger of slipping. The James D.
