LOUISVILLE.
| To the Editor Of The LOUISVILLE 4arerttser:
| GI.-It appears by the observations of the Editors
~ of the Nashville Presbyterian. Unon and Trans
crpt, as well the editors of the MISUNDERSTANDING,
that the "Otd Gentleman is among the Doctors This
is proved by his kingy rage, knowing that his time IS
but short, and That hs independcn American people
are able to judge Tor themselves what pulls and
| impoSitons. The worthy editors who are Doctors,
the proprctors, editors sub-eitors of the above
named journals, call every letter from persons have
| restored to sight in thu above placesBpu1s.
!. The fact is t,at never hal such great success
within so limited period ten twelve days. One
who was aged about ten years, who had only the
light from his birth, began to follow his
TO my hotel instead of being obliged to be led by him.
Two young ladies, who had each lost the sight of one
eve, one for ten and the other for nearly two
years, having both of them the other eye very weak;
each Of those Young ladies' began with both
eyes, which benefit pledge myself still continues
rcpng they are under the influence dominal*'n of
the Medical Doctors Another is the daughter of
respectable merchant, whose name am bound never
to mention (ns he paid me my fees) who said she had
lost the sight of one tram the age OF 10 months,
but that she now begins to read large letters wi the
other eye completely shut. This the doctor editors
view, as the gentleman told me hlnselfhe I'D con
due ed his daughter 10 the office of the medicsl editors.
that they might be inf rncd of tha fact. The last
shall m ii ion is an, elderly gentleman by the name of
Youn nearly seventy wears of age, who declared pub
clv by letter. which he took to ell the different offices
in Nashville but one ;nd himself raid me he had maid
for he insertion whatever they der andcd, who clar-
| e i'll that letter that lie la Otallv deprived o.
the sieht If one from ks fter his birth,
which his mother stat ID to ''.u occasinned by the
measles small pox; that ntv re c. uld not only
the light of the sun, for the first time that he rernecs,
but the stars also, and beginning to distinguish
many Objects and did, before left that city, give ma
nv pr ,nf that he could walk about the streets
with the other eye completely closed. He said he had
heen member OF the Methodist Episcopal Church for
ne ry forty wears. an that his word never doubt
ed through the T7hc'e course ofhs life.
.. repeat thC7 ',ad greater success than at
| Nashville, and tLss ne medical and rlerca toct
had never beine fc n. lc reason TO be enragcd. The
rons indignation e "a, Rev clerical DIR Smith proves,
when stated 10 that about six past he
converted fcra being perfect nfdol, believe in the
dncn of he Bible, thrt he must have made trihng
error-hat must have meant to say, tn before tho
end of years come he should be converted from
his nfdeIity, the spirit of the true minister of the
peaceful and benign doctrines of the Christian religion
does Eat breathe out destruction, rage calu,nny and
nlsehood to please his medical friends, against the
man whom he knew had done so much good and no in
i,v to any one. All the inhabitants If Nashv. spoke
Of the uccass hnd "~cept the medical ctors.
Most of them also had been informed by Mr. Yount of
the cure performed on his totally blind eve.
