The Eject of Democratic Measare,.

The New York ExPREss, leading Whig
paper, in the following summary, pays q
high tribute to the wisdom and beneficial
operation of Democratic policy under which
the country is now progressing: the people
having, by their votes. refused TO give
Wing administration the power to change
the admirable system oftheir predecessors.
and the Constitution of the government hav
ing wisely provided that Wing President,
without the aid of the legislative branches.
cannot exercise the law making or law
changing power. Says the Express:
"The entire revenues for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1851, will exceed the es-
Inmates by five millions of dollars, and will
reach, (including the receipts at Californis
for part of the past and whole of the pres
ent fiscal year, 100000. Of this
sum, So. 600, 900 will be credited 10 Cali
fornia, and $4,000. 900, at least to the
Atlantic parts; and of this S+3. 600 600,
New York viii have received an enormous
amount, the revenue collected here for nine
months of the year being S94. .375,012l
"Nothing could indicate in SO marked q
manner as these returns. the extraordinary
prosperity ofthe country. We expect the
revenue from imports would be, as they
are, large beyond all precedent; but we did
not think, with all the competion there was
in the market, the land sales by the govern
ment could possibly reach the amount We
have reliably mentioned"

Difficult Surgical Operation.

The extraction of calculus, or stone in the blad-
der, is, we believe, not usually attended with
great difficulty or danger. Occasionally, howev-
er, the formation presents itself IN such singular
shape as to add greatly to the difficulty of the
operation, and to require the most consummate
skill for its extraction.
An instance of this came under our observation
few days ago, in which the formation, instead
of having assumed the usual nearly round or O.
val form, greatly elongated and CURVED
More singula still, the mass, presented, at each
extremity, most remarkable bulk-like enlarge
ment. thickly covered with protuberances, re
sembling those of the mulberry. Around the
middle was membraneous band attached to the
body of the bladder. This band had to be de
tached. and the mass broken in the centre, be
fore extraction could be effected 1t will be read
lily perceived how much more difficult than tbs
ordinary operation, Was the extraction ofthis un
usually shaped mass.
The extraction was successfully performed by
DR.. James Guild, of this city, who, as surgical
operator, has, we believe, but few superiors.-
The patient, young man of nineteen years OF
age, had been, from childhood, suffering such
extreme agony that life had become a burden to
him. He isnow rapidly recovering

From the Memphis Appeal.


The Eagle, which played such a dis
tinguished part with such complete sue
cess in the recent Senatorial election
in this State, takes hand in the game
in Mississippi. 1t devotes nearly col
umn yesterday to setting forth the
claims, to that honor, of Gen A. b.
Bradford of Marshall county; and
rather fancifully styles him "rHE Hero
of Withlaeoochee, Monterey, and Bu-
ena Vista.'' We have no disposition
to detract from the military fame of
Gen. Bradford. On the contrary we
cheerfully and with pride award him
the highest praise for his gallant bear
ing in the hour of danger on every
field on which he has fought. But in
the names of the lamented Taylor and
Worth, in the names of the surviving
heroes, the gallant Davis, Quitman
and McClung, we protest against styl-
ing the General, THE hero of those
battles, distinguished as was the part
which he bore in them. We do not
think that the truth of history should
be sacrificed to the purposes Of politica!
ambition or personal fiattery, nor even
to the excusable fancy for rounding a
harmonious period.
This demonstration of the Eagle, ta-
ken in connection with the attempt TO
continue the coalition between ssUn-
ion" Democrats and the Whig party in
Mississippi, and the remarks OF the Hol-
ly Springs Gazette quoted by the Ea-
gle, begins to develope clearly the pur-
poses Of Wing schemers and Demo-
cratic apostates in Mississippi. The
coalition has been successful thus far.
its ayowed object was to save the T.
Mon. That accomplished, they will
now indulge for a time in the patriotic
luxury of saving themselves; that is,
they intend to use their victory to Sc
cure tie speiis. Since they so openly
avow il, honorable minds may suspect
that to have been the real, original OBJ
ject of the coalition. The Vicksburg
True Issue, owned and edited by wings,
supports the "Union Democratic
movement, and advocates the continu-
ance of the Union Organization; and
Significantly says, ssif the Union party
is divided many of the results of our
success will be lost to us"-"we are
unwilling to sacrifice the SUBSTANCE Of
things to a shadow" The Mississippi
Wings have grown lean and hungry by
their long abstinence from the flesh
pots of Egypt; and their appetite is
Esharpened now by the only hope they
have had for twelve years.
| The quotation fromthc Holly Springs
Gazette is peculiarly amusing. 1t states
that the names of Wing and Democrat,
] are not known in Mississippi, hut !" Lest
there should be feelings arising from
old party predictions, we think it but
right that man from each of the par
ties should be elected" No Wings
mo Democrats; but just to guard against
accidents, at least enc Wing should Be
elected. We presume that the most

Everything was quiet at SanJuan del Sur;

on any part of the route, and had arrived
four days earlier at Virgin Bay. the Pro

STEAMSHIP PRoMETHEUs,
San Juan, Nov. 81, 1851.
GENTLEMEN.-In order to correct any
imisstatements that may be made of the
circumstance of the English brig of war
Express, firing into the Promelheus, beg
of You to give the following statement an
insertion in your paper:
AT 9 M. proceeded to get my ship
under weigh, to proceed to sea, having bus
just received the last of our passengers
from the Pacific steamer, numbering in all
about 500. At this moment the city au-
thorities of Greytown-constituted as they
said, by the authority of the Musquito
King-came on board the ship with police
force, and served a process of attachment
on the ship and myself for the amount of
1923, claimed by the authorities for pres
ent and arrearase Port dues chargedsthe
ship, which We supposed to be Illegally de-
manded, and consequently refused to pay
them, as / did in the present instance.
The port dues are made up from the right
of anchorage in the harbor, captain of the
port fees, and pilotage.
Ihove up my anchor and dropped down
the harbor with the current, having along
side one of the river steamers, receiving
from her the baggage of the passengers.
The English brig laying shortdis
tance from US, Immediately got under weigh,
made sail for US, and, when within a quar-
ter of mile from us, fired round shot
over the forecastle, not clearing the wheel
house over ten feet; in q few moments an
other shot was fired, which passed over the
stern, so near that the force of the ball was
distinctly felt by several passengers, / sent
boat on board fthe brig to inquire the
cause of their firing into us. The captaia'
statedit was to protect the authorities of
Greytown in their demands, and if we did
not Immediately anchor, he would fire a
bomb shell into US, and order his guns load :
ed with grape and canister shot. At the
same time our mail steamer left US, and
proceeded, under steam, back 10 an anchor
age and anchored. The brig stood up The
harbor, and anchored, very near US; sent
boat on board Of US, with orders that our
| fires should be put out, and that an officer
would be sent ON board to see That the fires
were ex;inguished. The shore authorities
| then came on board, and under the circum-
stances of the case, the amount demanded
was paid under protest. and we were per-
mitted to proceed to sea By tie captain OF
the brig.
Respectfully, your ob't scry't,<

'sWe believe we shall be certain of doing service
to the people of the State, if we say word two
upon the unabridged Quarto Dictionary of the
English Language, by Noah Webster. The word
unabridged has been purposely employed, because
if such work is wanted for any but the very
lowest uses-those of mere photography or or
thoepy-it cannot be too copious and comprehen-
sive. When one is ignorant of the proper and
precise powers of a word, he cannot endure to be
turned to abridgment that gives him n
synonym, instead of definition; but he demands
to know much as anybody knows of its history
etymology, and all its different shades of mean
ing. Then only can he employ it with confidence
and effect, as mighty weapon for the expression
of intellect or passion.
