WONDERFUL OPERATION.

Our son, who has just returned from Rich
mond, inform us, that extraordinary tumor was
extracted from mans arm, in Richmond, while
the patient was in the mesmeric state, under the
influence of Prof. De Bonneville, without any
sensible pain TO the subject, and which was un-
known to him after the sleep was thrown off, nm.
til he was informed of it. Mr. De Bonneville
himself writes 6 last night magnetised gen.
tleman before seventy persons, when chirurgi-
cal operation was performed on him by Dr. Hen
dree, assisted by DR.. Thomas and Dr. Mills. of
Richmond. The operation was the cutting off
very large tumO7 from the fore part of the left
arm. The patient was immoveable during the
operations his features remained like wax; his
pulse did not vary much. Every thing went off
admirably well. Victory. Clairvoyance is tr-
umphant" We rejoice in his success, as well as
in the triumph of truth, which was so roughly
treated by DR.. Warner, and his friends some short
time since in that city. We have not much Gre
duliiy, but we cannot help thinking that "he
seventy" spoken of by De Bonneville, will per-
form the same office for mesmerism in Richmond
that the serenity disciples sent cut, instructed by
our Savior, did for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. THE
TRUTH.

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR

If the following story (Which the editor of the
Picayune CLEANS from Havana paper called El
Pddilla) be true, Great Britain has ample cause
to blush for the rutiianly and brutal conduct of
some of her officers. Outrage upon the seas in
those latitndes are by no means uncommon occur
rences, but it is very rare that we hear of one 50
gross in all its leading features as this:-
We read in Ell Padilla of yesterday that
passenger who arrived here on the last trip of the
It'll, reports that news was received al Havana
the day before her sailing of a serious collision
between the Spanish and English at Vera Cruz.
His story is that an English frigate entered the
anchorage ground at Sacrilicos, and anchored near
the Spanish brig of war FL Patricia In exchange
ing saluteS, two were killed on board the
brig, gun of the frigate having carelessv been
left shotted. The Spanish officer who was sent
to communicate the unfortunate occurrence to the
Englishman, and 10 inquire into the cause of the
catastrophe, was treated with rudeness so marked
that he was compelled to withdraw. Another of
tcer was sent for explanation of this Iudeness.
and OF the original outrage, but he too was re-
ceived with insult Upon this the Spanard set
sail, and IN passing the frgate discharged a broad
side, and pursuing It's course, brought to, outside
the anchorage, with design apparently of indu-
cling the English to fight This is said to have
caused great stir at Havana, and several vessels
OF war were preparing to sail for Vera Cruz at
once. This is the passengers report, or the sub
stance oft; how true it may be is another affair.
The editor of FL Padl!la seems skeptical of it,"

JUDICIAL DESPATCH AMONG THE CICERO
KEEs.-We find it stated in the Cherokee Advo-
cate that several years ago. shortly after regu-
lar judiciary system was first established among
the Eastern Cherokees. a trial for murder was a.

THE NORTH CAROLINA STANDARD.

We feel pleased in announcing the fact that the
enterprising and sterling democratic editor of the
Standard, published in Raleigh, has issued his
Proposals for publishing his paper semi weekly.
and we wish Mr.. Holden all manner of success.
Is it not singular that there is not now, and never
has been, any other than weekly papers published
in that State. That there has not been daies is
owing TO the fact that there are no overgrown
towns, "sofes on the body polite" as Mr.. JefTer
son would call them formed and corupung the
masses. The people are spread over the face of
the country, engaged principally in the pursuits
Of agriculture. The vast accumulation of in-
portant matter, however, we should think, would
make a semi-weeky visitant agreeable to the
North Caroiuians

TREMENDOUS STREET FIGHT THE poet of
the Brooklyn Advertiser, inspired by the thrilling
character of the scene, thus describes in Homeric
herOics, battle between two individuals often
seen in the streets Of other cities as we'll as that
The modest morn with bushes pav'd the way
To sher In the glorious god of day;
The beautcous flowers with copious dews were
wet,
And all spoke joyous pcace-when, 10 there met
Two porkers, gIunting thunder, while their backs
Swell'd high with furious feeling, and the tracks
OF each proud champion bent toward the foe
Each hostile movement dignifcd and slow:
They close at length, in battle dark and fierce,
And one pulld tother by his fabby ears,
And tOthcr pulls the other by the tail,
So that he utters forth piercing wall
Now fiercer grows the fight, and all around
The iroth and bristles deck the trembling ground,
Till thinking wisely fighting was no fun,
One gave grunt, and shook his tail and run!

A MosT BRUTAL MURDER.-A little girl,
named Cobbler, about fifteen years of age, near
Grenada, Miss, was murdered, about two weeks
since, under the most outrageous circumstance.
She was shot as she sat at work at her mothers
feet, at late hour of the night. Suspicion fell
upon man named Peppers, who was soon ar
rested and taken before the Mayor. Sufficient
evidence was found to bind him over TO court
But, during the night, the father in law of the
girl was suspected also as particeps criminis
He, too, early next day, was before the Mayor,
who also committed him. 1t seems that Peppers
had sold Cobbler some whiskey for pigs, and that
the pigs belonged TO the deceased that she claim
ed them, and that night Cobbler shot the poor
creature

HARD TIMEs.-The Boston Traveller predicts
that hard times " coming, and says the
wholesale dealers of that city have of late been
called to lose. in repeated instances, large amounts
by the failure of country customers. 1t has heard
of very few failures. but says they must come, if
the country merchants continue thus to draw on
the large dealers. This is a singular cry to hear
now, when the sounds of active business and of
Dealers perhaps, in their desire to monopolse
trade, have been little too eager to secure Gus
toners. and not exercised due caution in their
credits. Some other cities suffered some in the
same way few years ago, but experience has
taught better policy, and doubtful customers
either have to cash up or 90 to Boston-Ledger
