THE LAST GOOD NIGHT AT SEA.

THE LAST GOOD NIGHT Al SEA.
. cANzoSEr FROM THE NOTES OF TRAVELLER
Como, all good friends, before VIC part, L..
Let's Join in social glce,
To crown with kindness of the heart,
Our last good night at sea.
Times heavy canvass now be fur.'d,
With hope each pleasure fill;
For we're at peace with all the world,
Nor dream Of future i'll.
And while our vessel swiftly tends,
The onward course VIC roam,
Well call to mind our absent friends,
In our fur distant home.
Columbia, too, VIC think Of thee,
Land Of the fair and brave,
And he who will not pledge to thee,
Deserves to be sllve.
Star of the West! in glory slime,
Der cv'ry land and sea,
Till shacklcd millions hail the sign,
And all mankind bo free.
And we, kind friends, who oft have met,
Where'er our lots may be,
Must think Of, with fond regret,
Our last good night ut sea.
Nor let tho cloud Of sadness low'r,
On this our festive bliss;
Well meet again i'll some glad hour,
Of happiness like this.
At least in that blcst port of rest,
Where earthly tempests cease;
And faith enshrines the lallow'd breast,
In Heav'n's eternal peace.

New ANB IMPORTANT SURGICAL OPERATION
On Thursday last the simultaneous section of
the muscles of the back, for the cure of lateral
curvature of the spine, was, for the first time in
this country, performed by DIR. Hunter, Profess
sor of Anatomy, Andersonian University, Glas-
Cow, in the presence of number of the elite of
the medical profession. The operation consists
in cutting across the muscles OF the back that
appearance, at first sight, of being formidable
operation, yet it Is cunningly and simply per-
formed under the skin, that the patient, although
in this instance, delicate young lady, complain
ed of no pain, lost not more than three drops of
blood, and was only 30 seconds under the hands
of the operator.

A MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL IN
TExAs.-A proposition which has been made
to publish Medical Journal at San Luis,
Texas, indicates the progress which our Tex
ian neighbours are making. This Journal is
to appear on the Ist of January lS4I. The
editors names are Doctors Richardson and
Smith. The San Luis Advocate, speaking of
the editions of the Journal says: DR.. Smith has
been long known TO US as gentleman ofscience
and professional erudition. A work which he
wrote, while in Paris, in 1882, on the Cholera
Spasmodica, introduces him in most favoura-
able manner, as an author, to the profession
al public in France an5 the United States. DR..
Richardson is extensively known in this coun-
try as one of the most eminent and successful
physicians Of which the country can boast.
The capacity of these two gentlemen, alone,
will secure to the the Undertaking decided
success, and may be relied on as guaranty
of the valuable character of the publication.
Being the first Journal wholly of literary
character, or devoted entirely to profession
al pursuits, which has beeh started in Texas,
we feel much interest in its success, and com.
mend the enterprise with our warmest advocacy

IDLE WORDS.

BY MAJOR CALDER CAMPBELL.
The strongest love hath yet, at times,
A weakness in its power;
And latent sickness often sends
The madness of an houTl
To her l loved, in bitterness
| said a cruel thing
All me! how much of misery
From idle words may spring!
l lowered her them love her STILL
But there was in my blood
A growing fever, that did give
Its frenzy TO my mood;
| sneered, because GnOther's sneers
Had power my heart to wiring
All me! how much of misery
From idle words may spring.
And when, with tears of wonder, she
Looked up into my face,
l coldIy turned away mine eyes,
Avoiding her embrace;
Idly spake of idle doubts,
And many an idl=r thing
All me. how much of misery
From idle words may spring!
Twas over soon the ca,lss,-not soon
The sad effects passed by
They rule me meath the summers sun,
And meath the winters sky!
| sought forgiveness-She forgaye,
But kept the lurking sting!
Alas! how much of misery
From idle words may spring!
Month after month-year after year,
stTove to win again
The heart an idle word had lost,
But strove, alas! in vain.
Oh! We who love, beware less thorns
Across Loves path We fling;
Ye little know what misery
From IDLE WORDS may spring!

PRODUCTIONS OF IOWA

The Burlington News gives an interesting ac-
count of the vegetable productions of the settled
parts of Iowa Territory. The principal white
settlements are in the Black Hawk Purchase,
which is a tract Of land of about fifty miles av-
erage width, stretching along the Mississippi
from the Des Moines river up to the Neutral
Ground, nearly opposite Prairie du Chen. The
white population of this tract is stated at 600
The News says that to a temperate climate. it
adds an unegualled fertility OF soil, an abundant
water power, and the best distribution OF prairie
and woodland for the purposes Of the farmer. or
its agricultural fitness and vegetable productions
the News speaks thus:
IA year or two ago, the great excellence of
the soil and climate Of the northern part of this
Territory for raising all the vegetable products
OF the temperate zone was not known to its in
habitants themselves. 1t was supposed that the
| want of snow, on the praries would unfit them
to producewinter wheat or rye, which require:
protection from the frosts, but repeated trials fol-
| the last three seasons, have shown clearly that
the high unddating prairie lands are as well. if
not better, adapted to the cultivation of the win
ter grain than the best lands of n. York, Ohio6
Michigan. This may arise from the nature of
the soil, which being a deep sandy loan, is not
liable to be thrown up by the frost.-Many of
our farmers have succeeded in raising from forty
to fifty bushels of first rate wheat from the acre
Indian Corn of the flint kind is cultivated here
with great advantage and yields about as large
a crop as the best lands In the middle and cas-
tern states: bat we do not consider that the
northern part Of the Territory excels so much
in the corn crop as in the roots and small grains.
Here, indeed, nature seems to have combined all
the requisites for the production of the esculent
roots in the highest degree of perfection.
The Galena Potatoe, which is celebrated for its
superior excellence on the Mississippi and all its
tributaries, is produced in the northern mart OF
Iowa, and the portion Of Wisconsin lying ada
cent, and the yield is from four to FIVE hundred
bushels to the acre, without any particular care
in cultivation. Onions are produced no where
in the United States equal TO those of Iowa and
Wisconsin; they can be raised from the seed in a
single season from Is to 20 inches in circumfer-
ence, and the ground so covered with them that
it can scarcely be seen, the ftuta Baga, beet,
turnip, and in fact every esculent root from tenn
Perate climates, the cultivation of which has
been tried by our farmers succeeds equally ellw

(then IN possession of the British, and procee
towards some object near the Asia ship of the
hne-as suddenly they were seen to put about
and steer for the Island with springing oars. In
Two or three minutes an explosion took place,
from lne surface OF the water, resembling a
water spout which aroused the whole CITY and
region: the enemy's ships took the alarIn-sig-
mails were rapidly giyen-the ships cut their
cables AMI proceeded to the crook with all DOS
sible despatch, sweeping their bottoms with
chains, and with difficulty prevented their
crews from leaping overheard.
During this scene of consternation the deceas-
ed came to the surface, opened the brass head
OF MS aquatic machine, rose and gave signal
for the boat 10 come to him, but they could not
reach him, until he again descended under wa
ter, to avoid the encmy's shot from the Island,
who had discovered him and commenced fir
ing in his wake. Having forced himself
against stroRg current, under water, until
without the reach of shot, he was taken in tow
and landed at the Battery amidst great crowd,
and reported himself to General Washington,
who expressed his entire satisfaction that the
object was effected without the loss of lives
The deceased was under the Asia's bottom
more than two hours, endeavoring TO penetrate
her copper, but in vain. He frequently came
up under her stern gallery, searching for eX-
posed plank, and could hear the sentinels cry.
Once he was discovered by the watch on deck,
and heard them speculate upon him, but con-
cluded drift log had paid them visit-he re-
turned to her bottom and examined it fore and
aft and then proceeded to some other ships; but
the impossibihty ofpenetrating the copper, for
want of a resisting power, saved the lives OF
hundreds. The longest space oftime he could
remain under water was two hours. For a
particular description of this submarine Curl
osity, see sillimans Journal ofArts nd Scien-
