There has been much dissatisfaction expressed
in England, regarding the medical treatment of
the late Sir Robert Peel; many believing that
had his attendants-Sir Benjamin Brodie and
Mr.. Hodgson-been more active in their mea-
sures, his life would have been saved. The
London Lancet, however, defends their treat
ment, based as it was on long, and intimate
knowledge of the physical organization and
nervous temperament of the patient. II seems
that Sir Robert was peculiarly sensitive to pain,
and any attempt to apply even ordinary banda
ges, would have fastened his death.

CoUNT MIRAsoL, says correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune, leaves Havana on the
22d, by the Isabel, for Washington. The Isabel,
however, has arrived at Charleston, and did not
bring the Count. The same correspondent
states that the Count and his commission have
settled the details of a plan for the defence of
Cuba. 1t involves an increased expenditure of
SS2,400O00, which is to be raised BY loan. and
this is to be paid by increasing the Cuba taxes
so per cent. The army is to be increased to
10000 men, 1--WE thoughtit was already 5O,OOO,)
and the militia to $4,000
The naval force is to be increased to 25
steamers and 1 sail vessels A central railroad
is to be constructed with twelve lateral branches
to the different parts, and along the lines the
telegraph is to rum Along the coast main tee-
graphs are to be constructed. At the six naval
stations besides Havana, navy yards and docks
are to be constructed. Havana is to be walled.
and eight forts to be constructed around the
harbor. All the naval stations are to be heavily
fortified. Whether all this is authentic, is a
question.-N Y Day Book

THE CHICAGO AND GALESA RAIL RoAp is now

few months. The receipt of this short piece of
road, extending mostly through sour-gruss

and is clearing profit of nearly 20 per cent on
its cost of $405,3S2, or about $4,000 per mile.

We find in the Washington (.N CO. Wlig
the proceedings Of a meeting of the people OF
Beaufort county, to express their qualification at
the passage Of the Compromise bills. 1t being
county court week, the meeting was large
one, and great rejoicing prevailed. While the
proceedings were in progress, cannon were
fired, the streets bazed with bonfres, and in
the evening the courthouse was brilliantly
Illuminated. Among the resolutions adopted
we note the following:
4" Resolrtd, That the thanks ofthe whole country
due to the distinguished and patriotic statesmen
who, regardless of party sectional ties, have la
bored against the combined efforts of faction and
fanatcism, and triumphantly achieved the adjust
ment of our differences
Resolred, further, that We are pleased to num-
Der among the eminent patriots of the South who
have contributed their aid to the passage of these
measures and the preservation Of a conservative
spirit in the country, able and efficient Repre-
| sentative in Congress, the Hon. Edward Stanly.

The .atlas misapprehends the facts in regard
10 the rejection of Mr.. HAYDEN as postmaster
at Boston, and the appointment of Mr.. GORDON
as his successor. 1t complains that Mr.. GoR-
Dos's name had never been suggested in con-
nexion with the Office that there were no me-
MORALS OF petitions in his favor, and that his
appointment, ''without single memorial in
his favor, and before the wishes of the citizens
could be known, is certainly any thing but sat
isfactory." Mr.. HAYDEN was quite unex-
pectedly rejected late on Saturday night, and
it was necessary to fill the vacancy on the spot,
without an opportunity of consulting the me-
MORALS or petitions ON file, and weighing the
claims and merits Of the several applicants.
Under these circumstances, it was necessary
for the PRESIDENT to avail himself Of his pre-
sent lights; and when we state that Mr.. Goa
DON was appointed with the approval and re-
commentator OF the WHIa Representative
of Boston, and the VINO Senator resident in
Boston, we presume it will be conceded that
the PREsIDESr has manifested no disposition
TO disregard the wishes Of her citizens.

most pertinacious professors.
Ii Is obvious that one OF the other OF these
| factions must go 10 the wall There is no
| mode of compromising these differences of
opinion. Hitherto, Locofocos Of the North
| and West have compromised them by profess
ing TO be Tariff and Improvement men al the
polls, and by voting against protection and inn
provement bills in Congress. But we appre-
| bend that the best compromise which the peo-
| pie Of the North and West can make on the
subject, will be 10 elect WING representa-
tives, who will r0te in favor of American in-
dustry and Internal improvements as well as
talk in favor Of them about the time of elec-
tons.
We have thus disposed of two great public
and political causes of feud and faction among
the Locolocos. If we read the columns of the
Union Alright, there are some feuds Of more
private and personal nature that are Operat-
ing to destroy the universal harmony of
Locofocoism. IL we can Judge from the pub
lished correspondence Of MIR. BENTON, that gen
tleman regards his co-patriot of many years in
the light (which Dogberry looked upon Verges ::

to silence this sole organ of most dscordant har-
monies. Then the Union, the metropolitan
organ of Locoiocoism, stops its exchange with
the Post, the New York organ of Locofocoism,
which is again at daggers-drawing with the
Albany organ Of the same music; and yet Loco
locoism can afford 10 amuse itself with FAM
| lily feuds among the Wings.
