SURGERY AND MAGNETISM.

A marvellous story of surgical oper-
alton. performed in the case Of magne-
tised person, is related in the cleveland
Plain Dealer. The editor states that he
witnessed on the 25th of last month a
most difficult operation, performed by
Professor Ackley, assisted by Professors
Delameter, Kirkland, and others, before
a class ofsiudents at the Cleaveland Med
ical College.-The patient was DR..
Shriever, from Columbian county, Ohio,
quite an elderly man. 1t was an opera
ton for tumor. situated under the lower
jaw and partly in the neck, near the right
ear. In reference to the proceedings OF
the operator, the Plain Dealer has the
following statement;-
Eve happened in just as the professor
was putting the knife to the skin. He
made two or three frightful gashes, SEEM
ingly cutting the throat, and not muscle
of the old man was observed to move.
We were astonished, and we think the
whole medical class and even the faculty
were not less so than ourself The secret
was the patient was in magnetic sleep
This fact ofcourse was known by the pro-
fessor, but not by the spectators generally
There stood by the bleeding patient (not
sufferer) the magnetizer, who, with the
magic of Mesmer, had thrown his subject
into pleasant dreams, and now while the
knife of the bold surgeon was dashIng
away at his vitals, and dripping with gore
at his throat, he could say to the trem-
bling nerves .sbe STILL" and all was quiet

A Scene.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
The whigs and democrats of the tow

FROM the New orleans IICayune.
The wings and democrats of the town
and parish of Natchitoches agreed
amongst themselves, previous to the pres
identiai election, to procure the Hcces-
sary ammunition to fire two hundred and
fifty rounds in honor of the successful
candidate. The flag stats of the two par
ties were within few yards of enc anoth-
er, and from their SUBMITS the banners CT
their respective chiefs streamed in grace
full daliance with the winds Of heaven
1t was stipulated that upon the result oI
the canvass being ascertained, a national
salute of thirteen guns should be fired
when the banner of the defe ated party
should be lowered to the ground that
done, the firing of the remainder the tive
hundred and fifty guns should be resumed
When the intelligence of Mr.. Folks
election reached Nachitoches, both par
ties assembled under the respective flag
stats. The firing was begun, and at the
thirteenth discharge the wings lowered
the ensign of Clay and FreIinghuysen,
amid as profound a silence as ever reign
ed over the citadel of the dead The
firing was then continued, without farther
demonstration on the part Of the deUo-
Gratis of an exulting character.
Amongst the Wings there was one deaf
and dumb from birth. When the Clay
banner was removed from the ground, af
ter the discharge of the thirteen guns, to
building hard by. he went away and
was not seen again until the firing was
ended. He was then discovered with
his face buried in the folds of tie Wing
flag, and in posture betokening the SIN
cerest anguish. lie had been compOs-
itor in one of the printing offices in this
village, and had embraced the Wing cause
with the ardor peculiar to the ieryId sensl-
bitities of that bereft class of persons.
" hen the emblem of his faith was no lon
ger to be seen floating in the mid-air
there was no need for one like him at the
meeting. The booming cannon pealed
its thunders in vain-such things could
neither assuage nor aggrayate his grief.
Nor could the coincidence of friends
reach his bruised spirit. The consola-
ton Of interchanging words Of comfort
with his brethren, was denied him by ma
ture. He could only follow the symbol of
his creed, speechless like himself, and
fallen as we're the hopes that erewhlle
warmed his bosom with the glow ofjoyous
expectation. When he raised his head
from the flag, tears were coursing down
his cheeks and his eyes were dim with
weeping. 1t was the only mode that mis-
fortune had left him to throw off the pres
sure from his heart Wing or democrat
were alike affected by this touching spec
tacle of sorrow. Nor did any one seek
to disturb him in any way. The citizens
dispersed each to his own home, and
whether it was from sympathy for a fell
low being despoiled by nature or the
most important attributes of man, or
proness of the heart to partake OF the woe
that is without guile, many sturdy DEM
ocrat and stalwart Wing brushed away
the dew that gathered upon their eye lids,
as they pondered upon the sPeecfl s'grief
Of the sorrow stricken mute.

dissection No agonizing groahs were
heard, as is usual with the conscious pa
tient, TO alarm and terrify the operator
but he went quietly ons without haste,
with better effect. 1t lasted some fifteen
minutes, during which time there were
frequent consultations among the profess
sors, as 1t proved to be malignant case
1t caused frightful wound, and profu-
sion OF blood. The patient was removed
to another room, still unconscious of pain
and the operation; and when we left, he
was assuring the magnetizer that he felt
quite happy"

by the Reformation. The Hon. orator went
over with great variety Of historical facts

the great character ofthe Pilgrim fathers, and
drew from them lessons for the present and
the future. The oraIicn, like those which have

PETITION FOR LAND.-The people of IL
inois are circulating petitions, praying Con-
gress 10 grant TO the state Of Illinois five hun
dred thousand acres of land TO enable the
State to finish some ofits internal improve
ments, and TO pay portion OF its debt. The
principal object. and certainly laudable one,
is to secure funds for finishing the Illinois
and Michigan canal, in the completion oil
which the nation is interested.
Suppose Vermont should petition for a
like quantity to be put in market, and the a
walls TO go for the rail road projected through
the State We do not doubt that such a
petition would be hooted out of Congress as
quick as thevotes could be taken. And irh .
has not Vermont as clear a right TO such
grants as any other State! She has un-
doubleday, and so has every one of the old
thirteen. The difficulty is that the people
of the old States do not demand their rights.
Misled by loco foco demagogues, they reject
their proportion of the public domain. We
do not object to liberal grants to the new
States. 10 addition even to theirjust proper
tion-but we think il is time to insist that they
shall receive nothing more until they consent
to do Justice to the older sisters in the Union
Hitherto the members Of Congress of the
old States especially from New England
have been extremely liberal in voting fol-
grants Of lands for enucation and internal i'm
provements in the new States. is it moi
time to inquire whether such liberality is due
to States which repay it with ingratitude and
