ABINGDON, March al.-We refer our readers to the
proceedings OF the citizens of this county held at the court
house on Monday last; they will there see that we of
esern Nightmare united decided in our vie WIS of the

men, they will perceive that dissenting voice was
raised in the meeting. We care not who NAV saw that
the people OF this part of Virginia are i'm favor of the

your unbounded kindness and goodness
to my dear departed father and myself.
Kindness may truly say to me. for pro-
longing the life of my dear parent for
it was well ascertained when left home
that his family physicians acknowledged
to him he could not live--having been
so many years in consumption. But
the strong faith he had in your skill in
duced him to come to you'll left home
very much prejudiced against you, my
dear sir, which will not astonish you,
when l say that | have two brothers
physicians that are likewise much pre-
JUDGED. owing no doubt, to yourlmode
of Treatment being so very dissimilar
from our physiciansi in this country, and
consequently you Twill be liable to have
every thing construed to your disadvan-
tage. But, sir, your skill has been too
well tested for them to injure you long,
for you have so great number of wit
nesses to prove the astonishing cures
you have effected-many of which had
been given up by some of our most en-
inent physicians. With respect TO my
dear fathers case, you gave us no hope,
being too well convinced from his ap-
pearance, that there was an impossibility
of his living but very short time, but
you had not heart to refuse relieving
him as much as was in your power, and
most successfully did you do so, dear Dr.,
for he improved rapidly the first four or
five weeks, and to his last moments he
was entirely free from pain, which he
had never been single day for many
years. This was sufficient proof for me
to know that you had done more for him
in that short space of time than all the
rest Of his physicians, and am fully per-
suaded, had the weather been favorable,
that you would have made him comfort
able for number of years to come. Oh !
how sincerely do ] regret that he did not
come to you three or four years ago-for
] should not now be deploring the loss
Of one Of the best of fathers. Rest assur-
ed, dear Doctor, that you shall never be
forgotten by your young friend should
she ever require physician, you will
be the one she will fly to. My sister,
whose health is very delicate, will re-
turn to you in the spring, which will
convince the public of our confidence in
you as a physician.
have often expressed to you, my
dear sir, the pleasure it would give me
to see you and Mrs. Martin, at my home.
Home--you know now have none
but whenever that day arrives, when
shall have one, rest assured you will be
most heartily welcomed by me.
Have the kindness, my dear sir to
thank the good people Of Stanton for
their attention to me, as | shall not have
1T in my power to do so. leave here
with much regret, as have become at
tached to many families, whose kindness
will ever be gratefully remembered by
me. One ether request dear Doctor,
