When the naval approprialion bill came from the House uf Representatives, it was al so .'ale a period, ill the segsion, thai without being fully considered, 1 am sure without being considered al all in the Committee ou Finance, it was reported without amendment, and (he responsibility was thrown upon the Naval tommiuue, of jiroposing amend? menu lo it.

Hut, at the earnest solicitation of the cluiriii in of tlie Commiilee on Finance, and other membeis of iho Senate, I retained the Uoor,. and made the motion lo insist, aud agree to an o.lnr coiniiiittec of couleauce.

I have al ways sai J, aud alva)s will say, that although the Senator from North Carolina does not make much noise about his Stale here in iho Senate, yti, whenever the interests of his Stale are before a commiilee, he attends to thtui with as much zeal aud tide Iity as any member of the body at tends to (lie interests of his constituents. 1 have never known him lo be wauling on any occasion. Mr. HAMLIN. I think it but just.ilut 1 should bear te-tiinoiiy to what has fallen from the Senator from Norih Carolina, so far as ihe action of the Comuiiltee on Commerce is con-i cemed, and so lar as his applicaliuii lo the sub- J ject before ihe commiilee is concerned.

In the judgment of the committee, there was no dif ferti.ee between these cases and others contained 1 in the general estimates, except in degree ; anil il 1 iherc u as a more urgent nit ttriiy for these cases, ; there w as null an urgent utcesstty for other cases ; ' : and white I, as iruirmaii of the commiilee, was I ' in favor ol separate reports in the case, the com- ; I inline overruled uir, aud were unwiiliug to sepr i ara:e it Irooi a general bill. 1 think the Senator ' from North Carolina has erred in one paiticul.tr, i I .i.:. r. 1 1... w u ... - ..i . iiu i iiiiiik ine oeiicte nas a luin vo ooiupiaiu, , . . , , , .r. but not his constituents ; and that was, taking ihe i i . . , inat:er hoin the apprupnaie committee tif which 1 , , i i .. .. i u I il belonged and carrving it to a commitlte w Inch liad uul the subject before thcni, and gelling an appropriation hero somewhat by indirection. 1 do not find fault with him. 1 did not know that the recommendation of the Committee on Naval Allan had been made until it was uucpled. s The Senator horn North Carolina know, very well that I opposed a similar appropriation when of- 'reu oy uie ocuaior iroul ew loin; auU he 1 lt .

As is well known, 1 have as hide political sym pathy with tho Senator Irom North Carolina as any other member ul this body. I am proud to say', however, that personally our relations are, and always have been, of the mosl pleasant character.- In regard to this particular matter, il so happens thai I can speak lo one point of some importance.

Spirits Speaking to the Churches. Uir Saturday evening lust, Uev. Dr. Ty ug, of this city, oeltved a discourse to bis congregation, on the modern Spiritual phenomena. The learn ed divine treated the subject with great serious ness, and in a manner which merits our carelul cousuleraittin, though we cannot sympathize with his fears. He frankly admitted iheacS aud repudiated the idea of their being merely sonic new development of electric or msgiiectic forces. He contended for the- Spiritual origin of the manifestations, but insisted that iho "Adversary of souls" was implovcd in their production. This conclusion he rested.. iiot on tha tuixmsLc uature of ihe lacis, but ou the alleged disagree ment of iho manifestations with several verses which he cited from dull rent portions of the Old Testament. It was ui..iulaiued that the brttl quotatious, from the the aucin.l Hebrew Scrip tures, contained G'oif i law, and that since the . . . , . . ., mvsterious pheuomeua did tiot comport with the . . . ,. , , . . ., . , , strict It tu-r of t.s leachiugs, they musl depend on u . -. ,..i i i .

Dr. Tyng spoke with great apparent concern, and warned his people against pursuing the in vestigation fur scientific purposes, or under the delusive idea that the mysterious power is harm less. He announced ihe fact that there were mediums among the communicants iu his church, aud that for three aeeks past he Lad peruonutly w nut ltd with hi adversary ulmotl iin.ttuntly. Il had distuibed his meditations by day and his sleep by uighi, aud the speaker w.s understood lo remark that if the annoyance continued to in crease, he should be obliged lo relinquish his I miuisiry. He uesiied '.lie earnest prayers ul (us people aud begged their forbearance for speaking so plainly. There was no denunciation of mediums or others, but ihe whole discourse evinced a candid and loving spirit, a profound solemnity ol feel ing, and the most painful apprehensions. . Our respect for Dr. Ty tig's sincerity is not diminished by our widely diderent estimate of the new' de velopments. We Irusi thai the Doctor's appre hension arose from a miaappreieusioii ot Ihe whole subject. We, al least, have no suspicion thai bur Heavenly Faiher has resigned the world and the church into the hands ol the Adversary, or dial he will ever withdraw his Divine guardi anship.
