GEN. KEARNET

We find the following brief notice of Gen
kearney, whose recent achievement has made
him mark of admiration, in the Washington
Union:
He is native of New York, (as we are
informed,) and married the step-daughter of
the celebrated Clark, of st. Louis, who pene-
trated with Meriwether Lewis, to the Column
bla river. He is between SO and 50 years of
age. The general entered the army during the
war of 1912, and at the close of it he was re-
garded as gallant, intelligent, and energetic
officer, who gave promise of rising to distinc-
tinction, if any opportunity should offer itself.
He has continued in the army ever since; and
for the last fifteen or twenty years he has
been stationed in the far west-at st. Louis,
and generally at Fort Leavenworth on the
Nlssourl-ln the Dragon service. He has
made frequent Reconnaissance, in military ex-
petitions, in that region, thus acquiring such a
knowledge of its physical features, Of the In
dian habits, of the resources of a western life,
as would qualify him to act the pioneer and
commanding officer of the expedition, which
he has SO successfully conducted to Santa Fe.
He ranks very high as a bold, indomitable,
energetic, and accomplished officer-who has
the head to contrive, the hand to execute, and
the heart to brave every difficulty. Such is
the man who seems rapidly rising to high dis
tlnction and whose services already entitled
him to the applause and gratitude of his coun-

liberated, and the humors were all mingled
together, forming a projecting mass, about the
size OF common walnut The whole eve
was taken out and the wound dressed in a.
bout 25 minutes. The operation was a very
bloody and delicate one, and such cases are of
very rare occurrence even in large hospitals,
where the greatest variety of diseases which
require some form of amputation are presented
DIR. Guion operates very composedly, and
with as much dexterity as is often found in
such operations, handling the knife in man.
ner which shews his perfect knowledge of the
use OF the instrument We may add that it is
now fortnight since the eye was cut out, and
the patient is, in every way, doing very well
The operation was performed in the presence
of Drs. Chapman and Tull-Ncubernian
