THE PLEXIMETER.

An instrument under this name has been in
vented by French surgeon, for the purpose of
ascertaining, which j, is said to do with grea,
accuracy, the existence ofany pleuritie or other
effusion in the chest or abdomen. 1t consists
of plate of ivory, like the lid OF snuffbox,
which is fixed on the part TO be examined in
such way as to render the sound produced
upon itby percussion very distinct. The pres
ence of small quantity as two glasses Of
liquid has been ascertained by the plexlmeter.
1t likewise enables the operator to discover if
the liver or the spleen is enlarged, or if the
peritoneum contains any air.

THE UNITED STATES AND GEORGIA
The Secretary OF War to Governor Troup
DEPARTMENT of Unr 27th NOu 1926

Department Of Wnr, 27h NoU. s26.
SIR: long and distressing illness has pre-
vented me from replying to your letter of the
9th ultimo. Since my partial recovery, have
submitted it to the President, by Y HON am
instructed to say, that you appear to labor un-
der most serious mistake in supposing that
the last treaty with the Greeks has affected in
any manner the boundary Of Georgia. There
is not title in the treaty that has the most dis
tant alIusion to that object, nor, for one moment
would discussion have been admitted thereon,
as it lies entirely out of the competency o =
General Government. In anxiously wishing
to embt ace all their land within the limits Of
Georgia, every effort was made to induce them
to agree TO clause to that effect, in so many
words. They peremptorily refused, on the
ground of their ignorance of the direction of
that line Had the dividing line between Geor-
gia and Alabama been established, | think it
highly probable, that we should have succeed
ed in obtaining their REIMBURSEMENT; the more
especially as / perceive that, even by the line
run by the Georgia Commissioners, to which
il is understood unofficially the Alabama Com
missioners dlssented, there is less than 100000
acres of Indian lands. 1t is matter Of regret
thar any difficulty should have occurred be-
tween Georgia and Alabama, in fixing their di-
VlGlhg line, as the PRESIDENT had designed, the
moment the line had been established, to open
fresh negotiations with the Creeks for the pur.
pose of procuring any fragment Of land such
line might have left Of theirs within the limits
OF Georgia. Without entering at all into the
merits of the controversy between Georgia and
Alabama, your excellency must at once per-
ceve that the original difficulty to an entire ces
sion continues to impede our course, and the.
first instant that it shall be removed will be the
one which the Executive will embrace to car
ry into effect, by fresh negotiation, if practical
BILE, the entire Ctssion.
have the honor 10 be, sir, your obed't serv't,

length, in width, and weighs upwards Of
twelve hundred pounds. The back bone is l6
inches In diameter, and the ribs are feet in
length. 1t is calculated from the size of the
bones that the animal, when living, must have
been about fifty feet in length, 90 to 26 feet in
width, and about 90 teet in height and that it
must have weighed at least 20 tons. These

Extract of letter to gentleman in Norwich, Con-

An English brig put in here few days since
bound from Rio de Janero 10 Liverpool, to land
twen,y-eight slaves, which were taken out of a
Brazilian Slave Wreck, in long. "a deg. w
lat 49, S The English brig discovered some
thing floating on the surface Of the water, and
as they approached ii, they found it to be a
wreck: they lowered their boat, and went on
board for the purpose of getting some spars,
rigging and sails: they succeeded in getting the
articles, and on leaving the wreck the last time,
they thought they heard sound like person
groaning, which induced them to make further
search. They cut hole in the bow which was
out of water, and took out twenty-eight slaves,
which were the only survivors out of one hun
dred and sixty. 1t is supposed the Captain s.
crew were lost when the vessel capsized. The
survivors were delivered TO the English Con-
sui in this port-by whom the Captain was lib
orally rewarded for his humane exertions in
their behalf.
