The BLIND RESTORED TO SIGHT.-The New
Albany Rulletin has an interesting account of
an operation performed by DR.. Sloan, of New
Albany, upon the eyes of Rev. N. Hoskins, of
Crawford county, Ia, who had been blind from
birth. The Bulletin says:
Mr.. Hoskins was taken home to Crawford
county before the bandages were removed, and
when this was done, we are informed by a gen.
tleman residing in that neighborhood, the ope-
ration was found to have been cminently sue
cesstul. He describes the emotions Of the
patient, when suddenly possessed of a sense so
novel to him, to be of the most enthusiastic
description.
Things which he had long been acquainted
with, through the medium OF the other senses,
became possessed of a new and surprising
beauty, and roads which he had been used to
travel fearlessly when blind, had to be again
learned. His wife and children, whom ne had
never seen, his friends, his parishioncrs, his
home, everything endeared to him, became an
amending source of delight andnew-born graft
%fcation! He had the same confused notions
of distance which we see the smallest children
manifest, and took the ~liveliest pleasure IN be-
holding the great variety Of colors. In short,
was compelled to learn to see, in precisely the
same manner that the child does, and to him it
was an occupation of the most gratifying IA
ture,

his opponent, Col. Clark, of over $50 votes

country, to be re-vomited upon the community

THE UNITED STATES AND FRANCE.-The New
York Courier & Enquirer seems still appre-
hensive of difficulties between this country and
France. 1t thinks the Government untriendly
towards the United States. The Courier under
stands:
"That as long ago ASH May last, Mr.. Rush,
our Minister in Paris, wrote to Mr.. Clayton, our
Secretary of State, that the President Of the
French Republic had declared, that if France
was to engage in wal with any power it would
be with the United States. The despatch in
which this fact was stated bore date the Sd of
MAY; and on the 18th of May, NJ. Poussin
made the peremptory demand on Mr.. Clayton,
avowedly under instructions from the French
Minister for Foreign Affairs, for satisfaction for
the insult offered to the French flag by Com
mander Carpenter. NJ. Poussin distinctly claims
to haze done and said nothing more, in all this
correspondence, than explicit and imperative
instructions from his own Government obliged
him to do and to say. These several facts view
ed in connection, are thoght to warrant the in
ference that thesEnglish Government regards
the detention of the Eugene as an insult offer
ed to the French tiaG:-that satisfaction for that
insult was demanded, and refused by the Gov
TING the dismissal of his Minister entirely out
of the question as an unlmportant incident,
Louis Napoleon may deem it due to the honor
of the French nation to prosecute the demand
even to the point of open war. And Mr.. Rush's
despatch is referred to as evidence that he in
tended to do SC. from the very beginning"

UThe Washington correspondent of the
journal of Commerce." writes:
"The tone and temper of the democracy in
the next Congress towards the Administration,
is a matter of much speculation, as it is of i'm
portance.
81 have had some means of knowing demo-
cratic sentiment among intelligent and %infuen-
tal men during the past summer, and it is my
opinion that there is much good feeling among
them towards Gen. Taylor personally, and that
there is no disposition to countenance any
movement of a party nature that would serve
to perplex him. At the same time, have little
doubt that there will be a searching inquiry into
the acts of his Ministers by the House, and into
the character of nominations, and the causes of
removals by the Senate. We may indeed ex-
pect to witness a renewal of the scenes ofl842-
when a nomination was taken up, and briefly
discussed, and, at the headsman's signal, off
would 60 his, the nominees head. These scenes
used to be highly exciting and amusing. The
Senators could dine and wine with great govt,
after sending back to Captain Tyler a head or
two in a charger. They will probably amuse
themselves in the same way this winter"

UGen. Declouet, says the Bee, reached Don
aldsonyille on Monday, and addressed the peo-
pie, who crowded from all parts of the parish
to hear him. 1t is the pupose of Gen. Declou-
ct to proceed Immediately to Concordia and af.
ter going through Madison, Carroll and
Tensas, to repair to Ouachita. He will thence
visit the piney woods parishes in the Third Dis
trict, and if possible reach the city, in company
with Mr.. Kenner, and pass here a portion of
the short time that will intervene before the
election.
From Attakapas our accounts are most cheer.
ing. A gentleman VINO has lived in st. Mar
tin for thirty years, and knows that and the
adjacent parishes thoroughly, tells us that the
vote there will be little short of unanimous for
Declouet, Kennel and Bordelon, and that the
majority with which the Wings will 60 into the
Red River country will be SO overwhelming
that it cannot possibly be overcome by any
vote thatGen. Walker may receive in the upper
parishes.

CHOLERA IN New YoRK.-Notwithstanding
the discontnuance of cholera reports by the Board
of Health in the city of New York, there are cases
reported in the papers well calculated TO give
alarm. On the cS,h Mr.. Lawrence HILL an old
and very respectable merchant (aour-commssion
business) at As Pearl street and 80 Bridge street,
was attacked at his store with violent "cramps y
in the abdomen and other symptoms of bad case
of cholera. He was removed to his house Court
street, Brooklyn where, notwithstanding all efforts
for his relief he died before sunset 1t is said that
in this case there were none of the usual premoni-
tory symptoms, such as diarrhGa. In the course
of the day, person employed by measurer In
South street, not far from the neighborhood OF the
first case, was attacked in the same way, with the
same fatal result in a few hours. These are symp-
toms of an extension of the cholera to places and
persons previously thought safe.
