Dr. Emery has furnished to the Boston,
Journal the following particulars of the recent
death Of Miss Morgan from the inhalation Of
chloroform:
Between the hours Of one and two o'clock,
on the 9th inst, / commenced to administer
chloroform to Miss p A. Morgan, at request
for the purpose Of removing some teeth.
commenced with small quantity, should think
from two to three drachms on a sponge. She
inhaled it without difficulty for minute OF
two. Her pulse was not strong but uniform.
She then commenced to be excited, and said that
| was going to extract her teeth and she should
know all about it. She said that Mrs. Paige
1.-THE lady who accompanied her) was getting
the forceps to extract them with. / think
about one minute had passed during this
conversation and excitement. then removed
the sponge from her mouth, and in few mo-
ments she became satisfied that there had been
no attempt made to remove her teeth. In q
few moments | commenced the operation again
with the same amount of chloroform.
She inhaled IL without difficulty about as
long Ms she did before, and became so much
excited that she got up ont Of the chair and
insisted that had extracted her teeth She
spit on the floor and looked to see If it was
blood, and she insisted that some one was com.
ing into the room whom she did not want to see
/ sat her down in the chair again, and she then
went into spasm, closed her teeth, and
breathed with difficulty. l sprinkled water on
her face, and the muscles relaxed, and / asked

tenant eolonel's, from 1858 to $798; majors,
from $432 to $5l2; and captains, from 1916
to $436.
The undersigned respectfully remarks that
officers should be compensated approxima
lively, according to some regular scale, main
tanning sensible progression between every
two successive grades; for if in the way Of
example, the scale were raised from second
lieutenant to captain, and the increase stopped
there, it might make the pay of captain equal
to, if not higher than that of major in the
same corps. This would be both unjust and
absurd.
There are other topics connected with the
good of the service which the undersigned has
heretofore called up in his annual reports, and
to which he hopes attention may be attracted:
/. The revision of the "rules and articles for
the government of the armies of the United
States"-articles Of soar; g. Revision of the
pension laws of the army, placing them on the
same footing with those Of the navy, and, 3,
change in the system Of recruiting.
Should his views on those subjects be desired,
they may be found at large in his former re-
ports.
All of which isrespectfully submitted through
the Secretary of War. WINFIELD SCOTT.
Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS,
Secretary of War, Washington.
Daily national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1854, 1854-05-29

OF course lieutenants would be proportion
ally benefited in the Communication value of their
rations from the beginning Of service, and
after three years, in the number also. In the
case Of general officers their only benefit
would be in the change from twenty to twenty
FIVE cents a ration.
The principal design in the foregoing plan
is to throw an accumulated increase Of COM
pensation on experienced oficers-at a time OF
life, too, when most needed, and when in gene
raj it would be most merited-stopping at the
rank Of colonel. And here another remark
for the good of the country, and not the
special benefit Of the service may, at some
hazard, be added, viz the increased compen-
sation would not attach to the new officers of
new corps, Of whatever name, that might in
times ofpublic danger be temporarily called into
service and, in another war like that we waped
in l8l2-'l5, we should probably always have
on the roofs at least 100000 troops for short
periods Of service.
But the increase Of compensation only to the
point suggested would, in the opinion of the
undersigned, fall considerably below the de.
mands Of both justice and expediency; and he
does not think the principle of cumulative ro-
tions can be extended beyond what he has pro-
posed. He therefore, to make mp the defici-
ency, begs further to sugget slight addition
to the monthly pay proper Of all officers, save
the lieutenant general, (who now receives
under this head fifty dollars more than the
grade next below him. as follows To major
general I've have more than one in command
by brevet,) forty dollars to brigadier general,
thirty dollars; to colonel, twenty-five dollars
to Lieutenant colonel, twenty dollars; to n
major, fifteen dollars to a captain, ten dollars;
and to lieutenants, whether first or second, We
dollars each. To recur to the foregoing table,
this would further increase the annual compen-
sation Of the middle classes in commission as
follows: A colonel's from 1912 to 1912; a lieu.

WEBSTER BANQUET-oRATIo OF
HON. EDWARD EVERETT

We have rarely read a more eloquent and
interesting Grafton than that recently delivered
BY Mr. Everett at the banquet given in Boston
on the occasion Of the anniversary of the birth
day Of Daniel Webster.
Mr.. Everett portrays the personal, not the
political, character Of the great New England
orator and statesman. He presents the most
fascinating pictures Of Daniel Webster as
man, in his private and social life. For natu-
ralness, simplicity, and graphic power, few
such portraitures can be found in English lite.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate, yesterday, transacted but little
business Of public Importance, and adjourned
ill Thursday next.
The House of Representatives voted the
hundred and eighteenth time, pipa poce for a
Speaker, but as heretofore without decisive
result Mr.. Garlic offered resolution de-
claring the Hon. William Smith, of Virginia,
Speaker. This received forty,seven votes in
the affirmative, and one hundred and thirty
one in the negative. And the House ad-
journed as far off, apparently, as ever from
organizing that body.
Daily national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1854, 1854-05-29
ORGANIZATION.

From the first day Of the meeting of Con-
gress up to this time there has been a syste-
matte effort to injure the Democratic party of
the House by holding it up before the country
as responsible for the long continued failure to
organize. All of the opponents of the De-
mocracy, however opposed in other things,
perfectly harmonic in this they all join in
the effort to saddle the blame on our party.
In the last few days new life and yigor have
been thrown into this effort. The longer or.
ganizaton is postponed, the greater is the
complaint against Congress, and the greater
the complaint, the stronger and the more
earnest is the endeavor to charge the whole
blame upon the Democrats.
When the country remembers that the De-
morahc party is minority party in the
House-when it remembers that it has pre-
sented for the Speakership an unexceptionable
candidate-when it remembers that it is the
only political organization of respectable mum
bers in that body which stands upon the Con.
sttution and State Rights it must be acknow
lodged that not one iota Of blame attaches to
that party. If all the scattered conservative
elements in the House would maufully unite
with the Democracy, Black Repubicanism and
Abolitionism would at once be defeated. No
reasonable man can expect large, compact
numerical force like the Democracy, to seek
out and surrender to, such scattered elements
as have been referred to.

gsE~ 1t is hardly necessary, we presume, to
inform our readers that we were visited during
Saturday night by another snow storm, which,
no doubt if it continues showing, will present
more serious impediments to travel, inter com
munication, and business, than any that has
fallen for some years. This second storm took
every one by surprise. The morning of Sat
urday was bright and beautiful. The weather
became warmer as the day advanced, and a
general thaw took place. 1t was anxiously
hoped that In a short time all the remains OF
the first snow would disappear, but the vast,
unbroken continuity of snow which met the
eye on Sunday morning disspated all such
hopes. We may now expect bad streets, bad
roads, interruptions to travel, and detentions OF
mails for weeks to come.
The sleighs which were given up on Satur.
day have again made their appearance, and
hundreds of such vehicles may be seen dashing
along our streets.
What will become of the poor in this in
clement season? This is a question which
should be pondered by all who have penny,
a morsel of bread, or stick of wood to spare.

"a battle took place last night at Eastor
