Il hermit, and lived in small turf hat about two
miles below Osceola. One evening, during the
coolest weather in the early part ct December, he
made his appearance at the house OF MIR. Gran
dali, This nearest neighbour with his feet frozen
entirely through. According &c his statement, be
had frozen his feet for three successive nights.
DR.. Hcyt, Of the Falls Of St. Croix, was called
upon the next day, who dressed his feet, and he
was, in few days, removed to the Falls that he
might the more conveniently receive medical aid.
As it was afterwards found impossible to save
either foot. the amputation Of both legs immediate
ly below the knees, was performed about two
weeks since by DIR: Hoyt AT the last account,
his wounds were doing well, and there was fair
prospect Of his recovery Much credit is due to
the DIR. for the skillful manner in which the
gical operation was performed. There is proba-
bly,, no physician in the West, and but few in the
Eastern States, whose experience as a. surgeon has
been more than that Of DIR. Hoyt, during a long
practice in the State Of Massachusetts, he stood
deservedly high in his profession lie afterwards
served as surgeon in the Mexican war.
The skill aud experience Of the d.. only needs
to be generally known, to be highly appreciated
throughout the Western country. s.

Correspondence Of the y. Y Tribune.
From Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.
II will he recollected that some week or
two since, the excitable Legislature OF ,.
Carolina passed resolution instructing
their Governor to demand of the Federal
Authority the reason for occupying the for
tress mt Charleston with troops. Accord
imgly Hon. Whitemarh r.. Seabrook has
addressed an inquiry to the President de-
mandrng the reasons for garrisoning troops
in South Carolina. To this perempiory doc
ument, the President through the Secretary
of State, has replied in manner likely to
cool the ardor of some of the rampant Leg
is,ators. 1t is, in fact, ice to degree.
The President informs South Carolina
that he is by law Commander-in-C Chief of
the Navies and Armies of the United States
and he is not aware that he can be held
accountable either to individuals or State
Authorities for the manner in which he may
'leem it necessary to perform his duties
He is alone responsible to a Higher "
power. The Charleston papers will doubt
less contain this rich correspondence in the
course of few days, when we may look
out for flare up in that extraordinary little
State.

JAMES NJ. goodbye, ESQ:
Dear Sir-As there.are a few individuals
here, who think you are opposed TO the in
terests Of this place, from your leading ar
ticle IN few numbers back, on the naviga-
ton Of the Mississippi to the St. Anthony
Falls, in which you contend that the head
of navigation is at St. Paul, ercept at high
water, 1t would be difficult for you to per-
suade Yankee that he cannot run steam
boat where he can run raft with twenty or
thirty thousand feet of lumber, and this has
been done when the water was at the low
est. So satisfied are they that boat can
run nj all stages Of water boat can get in
to St. Paul with, they are at this time about
getting n boat to do so, and perhaps Mr..
Editor, before the end of June, it will he too
practically acknowledged TO have any further
argument. You must recollect it was pos
itiveIy stated IN St. Paul that no boat could
come here; to ties, that point, we subscribed
two hundred dollars to be given to any boat
which would land at Steel's landng-ihe
Anthony Wayne took the two hundred dol
lars 10y landing here. II was also stated Of
the Governor Ramsey, she would not run
one trip. Your giving place for this in
your paper WiU not only show to those who
are opposed to you on this account, but will
satisfy others. we have the kind Of "Boul-
ders" here that will not or cannot be rolled
by water, but can by man
Very respectfully,

Manners Of our Presidents.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Mirror gives the following &C
count Of the manners of our late Presi-
dents:
Mr. Fillmore is in fine health and spirits,
and think it will be conceded by every
body, that he is the best looking Of all the
Presidents who have occupied the national
mansion. | have seen the greater part OF
them, but certainly as an unaffected, polite
and courteous gentleman, none could com
pare with the present occupant.
John Quincy Adams, with VIII I'm my pre-
sidentiai rememberances commence, was
chillingly cold, stiff and ungenial in his man
ner of receiving visitors; he made you keep
your distance and feel il too.
Gen. Jackson was frank and dignified,
but not very cordial. His successor, who
gIoried in walking IN his footsteps, but did
mt, was smirkingly civil and politely gra-
cious.
Gen. Harrison, poor old man, hardly had
any manner Of his own after entered the
w hite House; he was kind hearted but fee
bic, and was soon worried out Of his exist
ence. AS for Mr.. Tyler, it is hardly posi-.
bic TO carry away any other impression OF
him than that made by his very prominent
nose.
Mr.. Polk was very civil president, and
easy in his manners, but he always appear
ed like an overworked machine; his feeble
frame and cold grey eyes did not leave q
pleasant feeling on his visitors.
Gen. Taylor, heaven rest his honest soul
received you as grandfather does his child
rem, and you left his presence forgetting that
you had seen the President, and only feeling
that you had been talking to one of the kind
est old souls in existence.
President Fillmore differs essentially from
them all, he is a man among men in appear
ance, overlapping in his height the MAORI
~ of the human family; finely formed, in
good health, with bright eye, clear com
plexion. erect i'll carriage, and sufficiently
stout without being corpulent, he is a repre-
sentative Of the American gentleman whom
bis countrymen may take pride in. He is
exceedingly winning in bis manner Of re.
cciving his guests, takes them kindly by the
hand says all appropriate word to every one,
smiles graciously to the ladies, and moves
about the room with the ease and air Of a
gentleman receiving his friends in bis own
house. Mr.. Fillmore cannot fail to be per-
sonally popular with. the people, let them
think of him as they may politically.
