BRITISH AGENTS AMONG US.

If our readers have any further doubt, that
the money Of English manufactures is to be
employed in the coming election to wean
our agricultural population from the Tariff
and the support of Mr.. Clay, let them read
the following extract from a letter dated n.
York, February %, 1914, which we find in
the "League," a weekly paper about the size
of the London Examiner, published in Lon
don, and which is the organ of the "Home
League,''.a powerful and wealthy association
of manufacturers and others in England
formed with the avowed object of dissemin-
ating Free Trade principles all over the
world. The number of the League, from
which the ~subjoined extract is taken, is dated
April Doth, 1914. The letter, of which il
makes a part, purports TO be from san Eng

FIRST GUN FROM TENNESSEE

The late election for Mayor and Aldermen
OF the city of Nashville, resulted in the sig
nal triumph ofthe Whigs-and is one among
the thousand evidences which daily pour in
upon us, of the fate Of Polk in Tennessee
in November. Speaking of the election,
the Banner says:-.The Wings have won
the day, in despite of the most strenuous
and active exertions on the part of their OPP
ponents. Upon this state Locofocoism has
concentrated its means and materials of party.
warfare. NASHVILLE has received its full
share of these partisan operations, and of
brought to bear in determining the result of
an election. The Locofoco party has been
thoroughly organized and disciplined here.
It's activity has been stimulated to the high
est degree: its spirits have been kept up by
every appliance and resource. Texas Bat
~tallions, Transparent professions, incessant
declarations of the most exciting character
have marked the canvass, Money has been
spent freely. Nothing to which the mana
gers could resort has been left undone. In
the face of all these things, the Wings went
quietly up TO the polls on Saturday and TR1-
UMPHED.
This is the answer which the Wings Of
Nashville give to the Locofoco boasts of
changes. 1t is the response which our
friends may expect from other parts of the
state. TENNESSEE is SAFE FOR
CLAY.

DESTRUCTION. OF MATAMoRAS.-9y
the arrival of the schooner Fortuna, at New Or
leas, from Mexico, we learn from the Picayune
that the town of Matamoras has been destroyed
by a hurricane. 1t occurred on the night OF
the 4th ult., and was more tremendous in its
effects than the hurrican ne of '35 and '37. More
Than two thirds OF the houses of the city were
Frustrated, and the remainder were more or
less injured. AS to the extent Of the loss Of life
we are not accurately informed. The cores

The direct destruction, however, so FAR as W e
could learn, was at the two mouths OF the Rio
Grande, some thirty miles below tn city OF
Matamoras. Here scarcely any were saved.

at its expiration?

your a pproval, what is the maximum rate to
which you would be willing to go in the ad-

WING VICTORY IN LOUISIANA.

WING VICTORY IN LOUISIANA.
The New Orleans papers brings US the
gratifying intelligence ofanother Wing VIC
tory in Louisiana. The Wings of Louisiana
have now the ~ascendency in both branches
IF the legislature. Now, for the first time
n many years, they hold the supremacy in
the State. Mr.. Declouet, who is elected to
ihe Senate, was beaten for the convention
by a l~ocofoco one hundred & forty votes,and
now he is elected to the Legislature by a
majority of seventy-six, showing a Wing
gain of two hundred and thirty six in the sen-
atorial district, in a little more than two
months. And it is worthy of remark, that
Mr.. D., although living in the immediate Vi
entity of the Texas line, took strong ground
against immediate annexation on the Polk
and Dallas plan.
Thanksto the glorious and u~nconquerable
Wings of Louisiana. Their noble example
spreads increased confidence throughout the
great Wing party of the Union, and, when
the mighty victory of November shall have
been won, their praises will everywhere be
shouted from the lips of redeemed and a
rejoicing nation.

of the gratifying intelligence of the election
of Alexander Declouet, ESQ, to the Senate
of Louisiana. Mr.. Declouet was opposed
by Mr., Antonio E. Mouton, the brother of

tended moi only against Mr.. Mouton, the
candidate, but also against his brother

ator. 1t is notorious that for the week past
Gov. Mouton has been engaged in the
elevated business of e~lectioneenng for his
brother, but with what effect the result shows.
The Wings of that district have repudiated
both, and determined to do their own think

at least one hundred votes, and yet in spite
ofall opposition he has succeeded triumph

Mesmerism no Humhng,

Let the disbellevers in Mesmerjsm or Animal
Magnetism, read the following interesting article
from the Cleveland Advertiser. This IS truly
the beginning Of a new era in science.
WHAT OUR EYES HAVE SEEN.
Wonders will never cease Last Monday we
Witnessed a most difficult surgical operation, per-
formed by Professor ACxLEy, assisted by Prof.'s
DELAMATER kIRrLAND, and others, before a class
of students at the Cleveland Medical College
The Patient was a DR.. Shrieve, from Columbi-
ana county, o, quite an elderly man. 1t was an
Operation Tor iunor, situated under the lower Jaw
and partly in the neck, near the right ear. We
happened in, just rs the Professor was putting
knife TO the skin. lie made two or three fright
full gashes, seemingly cutting the throat, and not
a muscle Of the old man was observed TO move.
We were ~aslonished, and we think the whole
medical class and even the faculty were not less
so than ourself. The secret was, the patient was
in a magnetic sleep! This fact Of course was
known by the Professors, but not by spectators
generally. There stood, by The bleeding patient
mot s%ufferer) the magnitjzer, who with the magic
of Mesrner bad thrown the subject into pleasant
dreams; and now while the knife of the bold sur
geon was dashjng away at his v~itals, and dripping
with gore at his throat, he could say to the trem-
bling nerves, "be s%till," and all was quiet
What a triumph of mind over matter was there
The wiH of the Magnetizer, striking dumb even
the living being and making his body the insen-
sible subject of dissection No agonizing groans
were heard, as is usual from the conscious patient,
to alarm and terrily the operator; but he went
quietly on, without haste, and consequently with
better effect. 1t Tasted some fifteen minutes, du-
ring which time there were frequent c~onsulta-
tons among the Professors, as it proved to be a
malignant case. IL caused a frightfll wound and
a P~rofusion of blood. The patient was removed
to another room, still unconscious of pain and OF
the operation; and when we left, he was assuring
the magnetizer that he felt quite happy.
Here is a triumph of Magnetism that will do
to talk about, and TO publish to the world. Here
in the very citadel of infdelity on this subject;
even at the Cleveland Medical College, and in
the midst of its learned Professors, stands this
"new light" tried and approved. lis foundation
is experiment, the sure guide TO truth. We have
long been a believer in this science, but never
any farther than we nave been warranted by ex
periments. We have been " led by sight," and
that reluctantly, so strange were the phenomena
presented by it, and SO incomprehensible the
laws which govern it. At present it is a science
which must rest alone on experiment. 1t opens
a new field for Physiological and Metaphysical
research, and bids fair to reyolutionizo the ole
moulton systems of Philosophy, which have 81
long doluded the world; g~liuering without value
and changing without utility.
