To The Editor Of TIE Louisville .9drerGer:
81 le-lt appears by the observations Of the Editors
~ of The Nashville Presbyterian, Union and Trans
crpt, well the editors of the Memphis Enquirer,
hat the "Oid Gentleman is among the Doctors This
is proved by his kingly rage, knowing that his time is
but short, and that the independent American neope
are able 10 judge for themselves what puls and
impositions The worthy editors who are Doctors,
the propretors, editors sub-elitos of the above
named journals, call every letter from persons have
restored to sight in the above places, pnffs.
], The fact Isl that never had such great success
within 50 limited period as ten twelve days One
who aged About ten wears, who had only seen the
light from his BIRTH began TO see to follow Ills master
10 my hotel instead Of being Obliged be led by him.
Two voting ladies' who had eaeh lost the SIGHT Of one
eye, one for ten wears aud the other for nearly two
years, having both OF than the Other eye very weak:
vet each Of those Young ladies began to with both
eyes, which benefit pledge myself still continues.
cePting they are under the influence or doniua N ~
thr Medical Doctors. Another Is the daughter of a
respectable merchant, whose name am bound never
mention, tas he paid my lees) who said she had
lost the sight of one eye from the age OF 10 mon5
but that she begins to read large letters with the
other eve completely shut This the doctor editors
knew as the gentleman told me himself he had CON
due ed his daughter 10 the office Of the medical etors
that they might be Informed of the fact. The last
shall men ion is an elderly gentleman by the name Of
fount, nearly seventy wears Of age, who declared pub
liclv by letter. which he took tn all the different Offices
in Nashville but End himself rod mo he had paid
for he insertion whatever they demanded who drcar-
e III that letter that he ha otally deprived OF
the sight IF one from 4 Ks after his birth,
which his mother stated to lhla accasoned bv the
measles or small pox; that ra could not only see
the light of the sun, for the first time that ha recoliects
but the stars also, and was beginning to distinguish
many objects; and did before left that CITY, give ma
NY pro0f that he could see to walk about The streets
with the other eye completely closed He said he had
been member OF the Methodist Episcopal Chneh Tor
ne rly forty Yeera and that his word doubt
ed through th2 ~hee course ofhis life.
.. repest AZ lad never greater success than at
Nashville, arG r1 ele medical and clorca. doctors
had never hefeSe "A lch reason TO be cnraged The
pious indignation q a, Rec. clerical Dir Smith proves
/ when about ST he yvns

doctn of he 6ibe, that he must have made n tYiAng
errnrthat must have meant to say, tn before the
end of years come he shuld be converted from
his nidelity, the spirit of The true minister of tic
peaceful and benign doctrines of the Christian religion
does not breathe destruction, rage, cuumny and
alsehood to please his medical friends against the
man whom he knew had done so much good, and noin-
iurv to any one. All the inhabitants of Nashville smoke
of hc great success had except the medical doctors.
Most of them also had been informed by Mr. Yount Of
the cure performed on his totally blind eye.
8. The famous Go'iah $. ofhis town, pretends that
have lost the laxrels gained in the Morrill, since my
arrival in the Southwest. This proves, hawever,I had
