Exchange Hotel, Warrington city.

We have on former occasions within the past year
called attention TO the Exchange HOTEL Washington
City, under the control Of our warm personal friend,
T. Nj. Mcllhany, formerly of Loudoun county, Va.
In doing so, but paying Just tribute to true
wortf-whilst we always felt thai we were at the
same time doing the travelling public, who might
have occasion TO visit the seat of Government
vice in calling their attention To desirable place Of
soIonrn in the "Cty Of Magnificent Distances"
recent flying visit TO Washington, during which
we az usual hung up oui hat nj the Exchange, has
further convinced US that this House possesses for
the Virgnan, the attractions Of home to grenter
extent than any other public house in the District
The location, whilst il Is very central, Is retired
and the proprietor s ready to give his guests
warm hearted greeting.
We were gralifed to find that the large additional
building recently connec ted with the Exchange has
enabled Mr.. McIlhany 10 afford accommodations TO
a much larger number Of guests than formerly The
increasing patronage bestowed on him too, shows
that his efforts 10 serve the public are appreciated
We found during our short stay there, that mum
Der 81 persons were securing quarters Al the Exchange
for the Inauguration and we now anergst to such
of our friends in Richmond anticipate being pre-
sent al that ceremony, that they viii find II to their
advantage also 10 engage rooms al the Exchange
Hotel In advance.
As an item OF interest 10 the numerous friends of
the gentleman, we give below the names OF nine
members Of Congress, whom we found 10 mess al
this house. To wilt the Hons. John Mop Berrien,

Surgical Operation.

EAer.--Dr. A. L. Person of Salem, removed
cancerous hi,nor from the breast Of lady in the
town. while under the dnfestefie Influence of ether
with the most perfect success. Al ten o'clock, Fri
day morning, sponge charged with the ether was
applied 10 the mouth and nose of the patient7-at
the end Of four moments she seemed TO be in kind
of serni-unconscious and dreamy state and appa-
rently thought she was fondling her babe TO sleep
on her brcast--while with her hand she made the
motion as il soothing il TO restshe said--"hush
hush there-go TO sleep!' in six minutes she seem
ed to be In deep sleep.
AT the end of about eight minutes the first incison
of the scaipel made; and stroke after stroke
followed deep into the living tissuenot movement
no, not the slightest tremor OF single fibre gave
signs of pain In short her whole appearance indi-
Gated the most quiet and perfect resi-it could not
have been more quiet had her dream been reality
and had the soft warm cheek of her infant babe been
pressed to her bosom, instead Of its receiving the
deep missions Of the surgeons knife
The removal of the tumor-the securing of bleed
ing vessels and the passing of the sntres, &C. &C.
cnpied some twenty mnutes during all OF which
time the patient gave signs Of suffering or of
consciousness to any thing that was transpiring
around her. Soon after the insertion Of the last
sutre, she nwoke, apparently in the full possession
Of her mental faculties, with the inquiry, sis il all
done ~
The operation was witnessed by n number of tho
medical gentlemen Of this town, who could but re-
oce in this new instance of the Triumph of art over
human suffering. -Netrburypor Herald.

From the National Intelligenccr.


To THE EDIrons: Respect for the Senate where
remarks were made abusive Of myself on the 18th
instant induces me TO make the following statement
The first accusation was that have suid "that
our institutions will never be well and wisely and
successfully maintained and administered until what
he is pleased to call moral influence can be brought
TO bear upon the Government; who dares TO de-
nounce the selected candidates Of the great politi
cal parties OF the country as mere-prlze fighters +"
The term "prize-ightersp was never used by me In
reference to any individuals; the thought OF making
the application to the late candidates for the Presi-
dcncy never entered into my mind.
The second accusation was, that 81 urged upon
Congress that no more pecuniary supplies should
be voted for the maintenance OF this war, in order
that the Government might be forced, for want OF
the means of war; to withdraw our victorious ar
mics from the enemy country in Disgrace &c.
never uttered such sentiment TO any one. My
friends know that was opposed to the Withholding
of supplies
The third accusation was, that undertook
10 adludicatc question before II had yet been
submittedo for decision, and which he Fl well
knew was more than likely to be presented for
for the discharge Of high judicial duties" &c. This
suppose, refers to letter written by me last Sum
mer 10 four or five gentlemen at Cleveland, in Ohio
who urged me to permit my name to be brought be-
fore the Buffalo Convention. In declining that hon
or, and in answer to other points of the letter, sta
ted, as nearly as can recoect (my letter not being
before me,) that "Slavery existed by virtue Of the
local law, and consequently could not exist without
eral Judicial decisions, and supposed was doubted
by no one In the case of Graves and Slaughter it
WAS recognized by the Judges, following the lead Of
my opinion and It was held by that commercial
power of Congress did not extend to the slavetrade
among the States; that Congress had no power over
the subject and that II belonged exclusively TO the
respective States, As political question, which
can never come before the Supreme Court express
ed myself opposed to the extension Of Slavery This
so far as / can recollect was the substance Of the
communication
The gentleman TO whom the letter was addressed,
far as can remember, did not represent others,
and did not consider the publication of the letter
necessary 1t was not written with that yiew but
there was no restriction as to It's publication.
Some two or three other letters were written In
answer TO letters received, and were published with
the first letter, so far as now remember, that have
written for publication within the two Inst years,

of forming and expressing my opinion on public
matters, JOHN MCLEAN.

derstand how it is, that simple matter OF
opinion should have led Mr.. Foote so far
out Of the way, as to expose himself to the
suspicion Of a want OF liberality towards his
political opponent.
We differed from Judge Mclean, as
widely as Mr.. Foote did, in the opinion ex-
pressed by the Judge, in one Of his letters
THAI Congress would have been UNSUITABLE in
putting an end to the Mexican war by stop
ping the supplies, because we did not believe
that the crisis had arrived for the exercise Oh
this power but, in differing with him on SC
important a measure of public policy, though
Of the same political faith with him, we could
see no reason TO denounce him for exercising
right, which he had in common with eve
ny other citizen, Of expressing this OF any
other opinion, or to mpugn his patriotism OF
sound Judgment. Nor did we fly into iuri-
ious condemnation Of Mr.. Buchanan, when,
last summer, he saw fit to express his opln-
ion, in public speech, that General Taylor
was untitled for the administration OF civil
affairs, and ought not therefore to be elected
to the Presidency, because in so expressing
his opinion, he exercised right that no lazy
took away from him, even though he occu-
pied the high post Of Secretary Of State
Some Of our friends, at the time, it is true,
fell into what we then conceived and still
conceive to be an error,-that Of rebukihg
Mr. Buchanan, for daring to express his
opinions Of Gen. Taylor publicly, simply be-
cause he was at the head Of the State De-
partment We think, that if party canno,
succeed before the people, because the Off
GERS Of government choose to enter the can
vass against it and its principles, it does moi
deserve to succeed But, the injustice,
which Mr.. Foote has done both to Judge
Mclean and to himself, may be best real
lied, if we will suppose, that Judge Mclean
in making up and delivering an opinion upor
given question, should turn aside and lie,
view the public letters Of Mr.. Foote, and es.
pecially that letter, wherein he predicted the
defeat of General Taylor and the success Q
Gen. Cass for President, and denounce Mr.
Foote as unworthy to sit in the Senate
what would be Mr. Foote'S ideas Of Mr.
Justice McLean's conduct in that event
The answer TO this question, is, in word
the proper answer to Mr. Foote'S assault
upon Mr., Justice Mclean, for doing whs
he had an unquestionable right to do

The most intense excitement has prevailed in this
vicinity since Friday last, owing 10 fiendish out.
rage upon respectable white girl Of about IA years
of age by a devil incarnate in the shape of an
athletic negro, II appears from the preliminary ex
animation of the cage, that as the daughter of
highly respectable and worthy family, living near
this village, was on her way home from school, on
Friday last, about four O'clock she was attacked in
piece Of wood through which she was compelled 10
pass, by diabolical negro and brutally ravished
After having accomplished his helsh design, the
negro asked the gill IL she knew hm Yes replied
the unfortunate victim, do but too we'll y "Then
damn you,n said the negro, "Tll kill you.' At this
iuncure he seized her by the throat and commenced
the work Of death but as ifby provdentia dis
pensation before he had accomplished the hell-bom
act, large boy, who had been attracted 10 the spot
by the smothered struggles Of the girl, came TO her
rescue, and having apear in his hand, with which
he had been fishing, the negro became alarmed and
ran into the woods. Il.
After few moments the girl was enabled TO walk
and having to go In an opposite direction he left her
ed his back, when the negro, who Ind been watch
Ing their movements, was discovered BY the girl in
the act Of running towards her again, with The nlen
tiOn undoubtedly, Of finishing HE diabolical ~orf.
The boy again ran 10 her assistance, and proceeded
with her, WHEN the alarm was instantly given, the
neighborhood aroused, and about seven O'Clock the
black fend was captured, brought before Judge
Broadley, and subsequently lodged In the Queens
county Jail Had the extent Of the outrage been
known 10 the populace, the negro never would have
breaihcd beyond Jamaica. As has been already sta.
Ted, the girl belongs TO highly respectable family
and attended respectable seminary n this village.
