~ The Ef'tor Of He Huntsville .4arerti,er:
y ia-lt appears by the observations of the Editors
itot The Nashville PRESBYTERIAN, Unian ard Trans
Crypt, as well as the editors of the Memphis Enquirer,
that the sold Gentleman" is among the Doctors This
rs proved by his kinalp rage, knowing that his tine is
but Short and that tn. ndcneulcnt American reople
are able to judge for themselves what are puts aud
impositlons. The worthy editors who Doctors,
the prnprictors, editors subeitors of the above
named journals call every Letter from persons have
restored to sight in tn! alb We places, puts
l. The fact Is, tlat n.ver had such great success
within so limited period ten twelve days. One
who was aged aout ten years, who had only the
light from his birth, began To follow his ma .r
to my hotel instead of being obliged to be led by lin
Two Young ladies' who had each lost the sight of one
eve, one ior ten wears aud the other for nearly two
years, having both them the other eve very weak
vet each OF those Young ladies' BEGAN to see with both
eyes, which benefit pledge myself still continues OK
cepng they are under the influence or dominate II of
the Medical Doctors. Another is the daughter of
respectable merchant, whose name am bound never
to mention, las he paid me my fees who said she had
lost the sight of one eve from the age of Is months
hnt that she now begins to read large letters with the
other eye completely shut. This the doctor editors
knew, as the gentleman told me hmsc!fhe ID con-
due ed his daughter 10 the Office of the medca editors
that they might be inf rned of The fact. The last
shall men ion is an elderly gentleman hythc name of
CUNT nearly seventy of age who declared pub
icly by letter, which he took to all the different offices
IN Nashville but one md himself told me- he had paid
f"f he insertion whatever they iaE andcd, who Ciar-
ct III that letter that he ha 0talIv deprived of
the sl2ht IF one aye from Ks aftcr his birth,
which his mother stat d to h,u occasoneH by the
measles or small pox; that nc IL could only see
the light of the SUM- for the first time that he recolects
but the stars also and was beginning to distinguish
many objects; and did, before left that c.tv give ma
proof that he could to walk about the streets
with the other eve completely closed. He said he had
been member OF the Methodist Episcopal Church tor
ne rly forty an that his word never doubt
ed through the whole course ofhis life.
p repeaS itcEt Naa never greater success than at
Nashville, ard ttS! ne medical and ccrca doctors
had never before &c 'c reason he enra~cd. The
pions indignation o. n Rev clerical Dir Smith proves
when stated to mo that about six wears past he was
converted r0: being perfect infdrl to believe in the
doctrn of he BinIe that he have made triing
error-thnt must have meant to say, til before tho
end OF SIX years to come, he should be converted from
his iuflelltv, as the spirit of the trua minister nf tl
peaceful and benign doctrines of the Christian religion
does rnt breathe out destruction rage calumnv and
tnsehood to please his medical friends, against the
man whom he knew had done 50 much good and no in
Jury to any one All the inhabitants of Nashville spoke
OF the great success had '~cept the medical doctors
Most of them also had been Informed by Mr. Yount of
the cure performed on his totally blind eve

and that kept them until arrived in this section If
gained one in the north ought to have caneL nnotI,
