A few days since trepanning operation
was performed by Dr. Chaplin, on John,
one of the Seneca Indians, which from
the severity of the fracture, and the skill
full manner Of the performance, merits no.
tlce. ltappears that the Indian had re-
ceived the blow from club, by the son of
Twenty Canoes, Surgical aid was call
ed, When the doctor arrived, he found
the skull much fractured and depressed,
and the Indian senseless, and unable TO
speak or swallow. He mentioned to the
Indians that the only hope, and that very
doubtful one, OF saving his lie, was an inn
mediate trepanning operation, to which
they consented. Immediately after rails
ing the depre ssion of the skull, John open
ed his eyes, and within two or three min-
uies came to bis senses, and asked the
doctor what he was doing, observing that
it hurt him. On being satisfied that it was
absolutely necessary, he submitted with
out the slighest murnur. When the ope-
ration was over, he Immediately arose,
walked about, and expressed his satisfac-
ton in the most grateful m manner. Old
twenty Canoes was silent spectator, but
as soon as he saw the Indian safe. he walk
ed up TO the doctor with great dignity, land
observed to him." Brother, thank you
for your attention-my son injured this
young man-my son caused this trouble
present your bill TO me, will pay IT,
Language like this, from Christian,
would be called duty; but from an Indian
and one who has ever been opposed to the
encouragement of Missionaries, to their
nation, il is magnanimity and goes far to
prove, that there is in man, though unedu-
Gated and unchristianized, moral sense
the to kalon OF pagan antiquity-wbich
constitutes the true dignity OF human ma
ture. M

lowing remark of correspondent of the
Charleston City Gazette, dated at Hava-
ma, in relation to the sickness on board the
Macedonian -
cit is not presumed that her crew got
sick from being at Havana, but from her
having, after two years voyage in the
Pacific, returned home without cleaning
out"
In commenting on the foregoing article,
the editors of the Boston Evening Gazette
observe:
Assertions like these, If not contradic-
ted, have pernicions influence, because
it irnputes great negligence to our naval
commanders. The Macedonian, after her
return, underwent thorough overhaul
and was repaired wherever il was needed.
Her ballast, which was iron: was entirely
taken out, and the hold was thoroughly
cleansed. So peculiarly cautious we're
capt. Biddle and capt. Hull. that every
stick of wood taken on board for fuel was
deprived of its bark, to avoid as much as
possible any decay of vegetable matter.
In short, there was no precaution sugges-
ted by cleanliness that was not adopted by
those officers. The other assertions are
equally uufounded in truth. She did not
take in her provisions and salt in three
weeks after her return from the Pacific.
She laid at the navy yard for several
months

His Catholic Majesty, in calling the at

Ca, deems useless and unreasonable the ex-

is enough tor his majesty to be convinced
that It was neither the abuse Of power
nor the weight Of oppression which in
spired the desire of this separation. and
that a disunion so melancholy between the
members OF the great Spanish family has
been the effect of extrao, dinary circum,

Spain encountered in protecting IFS throne

Mr.. Joshua Gorsuch's store on Bridge

The usual exemplary alacrity was displayed
by the Hose and Engine Companies, and citi-
