l tendency in the human mind to superstition. There is a positive luxury in gratifying that kind of taste, which even the unbelieving Northern brain has not been able to overcome. If it could not believe in Moses and the Prophets, it had no hesitation in swallowing the Fishes and the Foxes. Its faith in spiritualism, as it is called, was something wonderful. We have never been able till lately to see any ground for the marvellous influence of those tappings and trappings which, in the New England States, have so often caused the unseen world to disclose its secrets. But of late our incredulity has received a staggering blow.--We once laughed when we were told of handkerchiefs spontaneously tying themselves into knots, and hair brushes rushing, of their own accord, to people's heads.

providing an adequate supply of provisions for the army and the people. There has been great privation here — we need not deny it,--and even the noble army of General Lee--that army which has so long stood as a wall of fire between our homes and the enemy — was in danger of suffering.

A party of Yankee spiritualists, under the direction of that famous wizard, Sheridan, left the mountains of Virginia a few weeks ago, and, in the course of their travels, exhibited a series of wonders never surpassed in the days of witchcraft. Te senses, but a solid and savory reality, which would have gladdened the souls of many a hungry citizen of Richmond and many a worn out soldier in the trenches. Sheridan boasts, in his account of these miraculous transactions, that he caused provisions enough to appear in this way to "feed Lee's army for the three months." It is o were, no doubt, as much astonished as anybody at the apparition of objects whose existence they were in profound ignorance of till the tappings and rappings of Sheridan's spiritualists compelled their manifestation. We can only regret that our own commissaries and other agents for obtaining provisions do not possess this su
