THE LErHEoN.-We understand that this
famous preparation, about which 80 much has
been said and written, was successfully ad-
ministered to a patient in this place some days
since, who was aboutto have his hand ampu-
,ated. Dr.. A. O. Bradley performed the ope-
ration. The Letheon was first administered,
and the patient thrown into profound slum-
ber Whilst in this state, the hand was Cut
off, without the patients shelving any symp-
toms of suffering, or even of consciousness
When aroused he Uhe patiently expressed his
surprise and delight at the fact of his hand
having been amputated without his knowing
anything about it,

Is THE War UNPOPULAR We ansver. no.
and appeal to the recent elections for the proof.
IN the three great States which have most re-
Gently elected their Chief Magistrates, this
1.-THE Mexican war; was the test question, and
all three of them have elected Democratic Gov.
ernors. In Pennsylvania, the single hearted
and gallant Skunk espoused the fortunes of
the Administration on this very question, and
the result has been that he is reelected by a
tremendous majority. So it has been in the
land of Troupe and Oglethorpe Georgia,
where the battle was fought chiefly upon the
merits of the policy of the Administration.
has elected Towns, true hearted Democrat,
over Clinch, the hero Of Whggery and
Withlicotchie. In Maryland, the same
state of things exists How, then, we
would like TO ask those who exclaim that
Mr.. Folks Administration is every day beco.
ming more unpopular. is it that these three
great States, that have just voted, have cast
their voices for men who have openly and
avowedly proclaimed their adherence to the
fortunes OF this same unpopular Administra.
| ton" II is not true that the war is unpopular
How could it be unpopular with the homes
yeomen OF our country, when it is a war tc
vlndlcate our honor and our rights The
Whlg-the Mexican Whig-presses and par
tzans may endeavor to cry down their owl
country as much as they please, but they can
not persuade the people of the United States
to follow their infatuated course. MARYLAND
Georgia, and Pennsylvania have, by the
large Democratic majorities given the flat de
NAL TO this miserable cant of the Wing Jour
nails. We tell the Wings, as party, tina
their persistence in the course which they
have pursued during the last fifteen months
will cover them, in all time to come, with in
fanny and disgrace. They may take this Ian
guage as they please. We are speaking GU
sincere sentiments.

Wistar,s Balsazn Of Wild Cherry-There are
so many certain cures" for coughs, colds, and
even consumptions that we are sometimes dis.
posed to question the efficacy Of any Of them.
DR.. 3. r. Fowle, druggist of the highest rcputn-
ton, at 1873 Washington street, has the agency of
an article called Balsam of Wild Cherry, which
seems to have won for itself good reputation
wherever it has been introduced We have seen
letters from various parts of New England. from
persons of the highest standing in places where
they reside, bearing testimony to the benefit
themselves or frends had received from a trial OF
its properties.
Extract from letter, dated
Petersburg Va, Jan. Is, ls45.
A gentleman Of unquestionable veracity informs
US, that his brother had been confined to his bed
for weeks with some species of cough, that batied
the skill of several eminent physicians. and by
the use Of two bottles of WisrAR's BALsAH or
WIN CHERnY, he has been restored to pcrfcc,
health, and he is now "a fat and hearty man."
Yours, respectfully,

n<The suits against the county of Phila'
delphia for the destruction OF St. Augustine's
and St. Michaers Churches, in the liots' OF
1874, are likely to be settled by the payment
OF the damages. The county, under various
pretences, resisted the claim for damages, and
had writ of quo warranto issued to try the
validity of the titles of the persons represent
ing the Church The case was decided against
the County in Court below, and an appeal
taken to the Supreme Court The County
Commissioners have, however, thought better
of the matter, and yesterday ordered the ap.
peal to be dismissed. So it is likely now thai
the Churches ~iN be paid for.

that there is no redress for these officers, un-
less they apply to the War Department, as
Gen. Taylor declines interfering in the matter
Perhaps this may be all right, but we cannot
regard their discharge without hearing or

The Fayetteville Carolinian gives an extract
of letter received from an officer in the N.

states that the disturbance had been quelled,

Our march is like the thunder gust,

And broader is the trail we leave
Along the prairie grass.
From North to South we range the woods,
We skim the plains sfar.
We thread the creeks, We stem the fool

Our halt is where the prairie wolf
Banks at the grizzly bear
And every couch we lie upon
The buffalo must spare.
Break not, my boys, the squadron's lines
Down with the forest spars;
Cut with your swords the tangled vines
Onward-huzza-huZ
Our steeds are Ike ourselves, my boys,
Born for martial train;
Fearless and strong they tramp along,
And yet they heed the reins.

We follow freedoms star;

The WAR NEws-We have the pleasure
this week of placing before our readers an au-
,hentic and detailed account OF the progress Of
our army in Mexico We have, to the exclu-
sion of almost all other matter, given the full
details, believing that, in SO doing, we were
consulting the wishes of a majority OF our
readers.
The news is peculiarly interesting, being
the first American account which we have re-
ceiyed of the capture of the city of Mexico
by our victorious Army. 1t is glorious news
too, for it details some of the most brilliant
achievements which our Army has yet accom-
plished since the war commenced.
II will be seen that we have lost number
of brave officers and men, which tinges our re-
ioicings with shade of melancholy. Our
loss, however, has not been anything like
what former accounts induced US to believe it
was.
The " Halls OF the Montezumas" are ours
at last! From the summit of the National
Palace of Mexico floats the Stars anG Stripes
Of our glorious Union! Comments on our
part would be useless We place the whole
details before the reader He will form his
own speculations.
