/ iS-it appears by the observations of the Editors
- of the Nashville Presbyterian, Union aud Trans
crypt, as well as the editors of the Memphis Enquirer
that the "old Gentleman is among the Doctors. This
IS proved by his kngly rage, knowing that his time is
but short and that The independent American people

named lnfnals, call every letter from persons have
restored TO sight in III: above places, puias.
l. The fact is, tlat never had such great success
within so limited period as ten twelve days. Ono
VINO was aged about ten years. who had only seen the
light from his birth, began to see to follow his master
to my hotel instead of being obliged to be led by him
Two young ladies', who had eachlost the sight of one
eve, one for ten wears aud the other for nearly two
years, having both OF them the other eve yerv weak.
vet each OF those young ladies' began with both
eyes which benefit pledge myself still continues cx

| the Medical Doctors. Anot.sr is the daughter of a
respectable merchant, whose name am bound never

but that she now begins to read large letters with the
other eye completely shut. This the doctor editors
knew, rs the gentleman told me himself he had con-
due ed his daughter to the office of the medical editors
that they might be informed of the fact The last
shall men ion is elderly gentleman by the name of
ionht, nearly seventy years of age, who declared pub

in Nashville but one and himself ,old me- he had paid

ed i'll that letter that he ha olalIv deprived of

with the other eve completely closed. He said he had
been member OF the Methodist Episcopal Church tor
nerly forty wears an that his word wa never doubt

Nashville and tfse Che medical and clerical doctors
had never befois fis n lch be enraged The
plons Indignation I! "a Rev. clerical DR. Smith proves
when Re stete4 ia that about six years past he was
converted ro,s bei:.s perfect nfde to believe in the
doctrin of he Bible, hat he must have made trng
efror-tl!at must have meant to say, til before tho
end ofsx years to come, he should be converted from
his inleitv as the spirit of the minister of the
peaceful and benign doctrines of the Christian religion
talsehood to please his medical friends, against the
man whom he knew had done much good, and no in
jury any All the inhabitants Of Nashville spoke
Of the great sncc' IS had, -cept the medical doctors
Most of them also had been informed by MIR Yount of
the cure performed on his totally blind eve.

have lost the lasres gained in the NORTH, since my
arr wal in the Southwest This proves however, had
and that kept them until arrived III this section II
gained one in the north, ought to have gained anatl-
er in the south and southwest and still hope to wear
them on my very youthful brow on the day leave in
spite of the vtuperaton of the great DR. =. if may
judge from the man ] ave already benefited in tbs
