Love ELETTER FROM MARRIED WOMAN
TO her SwEErHEART,-The Sacramento Bee
Of 18th August, says:
A married woman, the wife of n profess
ional gentleman, in Sacramento, has been
in the habit for some time past of receiving
letters addressed to an assumed instead of
her true name, and person who knew her
slightly, becoming acquainted with the cir
cunstance, has kept pretty sharp lookout
OF late, to see if an opportunity would not
occur by which he could save her, knowing
full well that ruin would ov vertake her unless
soon rescued. Accordingly, being satisfied
that she received a letter on Monday from a
person not her husband, he was on the look.
out. Yesterday morning. as he passed her
house, at an early hour, noticing a suspicious
piece of yellow paper beneath the blind of
one of her parlor windows, he assumed the
responsibility ofstepping inside the gateway
and taking it. Within the yellow wrapper
was note, written in a legible hand, of
which the following is copy, Uerbatim ct
iteratim;
DEAR d.
l was disappointed in not receiving note
from you to day. l promised in my last let
ter, to leave note in my window for you to
night, to let you know whether could see
you or not. | would like to see you but !
scarcely know what to tell you. The Doc is
not at home to night but will be here to NOR
row, and perhaps will leave again in the
afternoon, though | am not sure. If YOU
are willing to remain here one day, and take
the chances, can see you in the parlor at
the D--House, at half past nine or ten
O'Clock, and take walk in the evening, il
tie Doc is not here ] will not ask You tc
stay, do as you like, if your business CALI
you go by all means. If was sure you
would come to night, | would sit up to see
you, but at it is uncertain | will run the risk
of seeing you to morrow. Ifyou conclude tc
remain, yon can leave a note for me in nv
window, SO that | will know whether to 20
to see you or not Good night
The party to whom it was addressed is
doubtless San Franciscan, and not finding
the above note probably did not keep the ap-
pointment.

Tho Trhdr of NirHInIa.

RICHMoYD, January 4, lS5S.-A short
time since, | concluded to take stroll! down
to Rockets. The first thing that particular
~ attracted my attention, was tue large
number of scroOpers and siOops engaged IN
the OYSTER trade. Immense qualities OF
these delicious byave5 are taken IRON their
hiding places, at tho bottom of the rivers,
&c and transported t. the cities, there part
~ 70 be consumed and the rest sent 10
r. she interior for consumption: then the
shells TO be converted into lime. This trade
is immense, and as the facilities Of transp0r
tation are increased. SO in proportion, will
the trade increase, as the oysters can scarcely
be annihilated, SO prolific are they.
The next was sloop loaded with potatoes;
and on inquiry, found the vessel was FROM
New Jersey, forty miles below Philadelphia,
and had on board twenty four hundred bush
els of potatoes, which were sold at an aver
age of Que dollar and twenty cents Z bushel.
The Captain also informed me that ten thou
sand bushels had been transported from that
section Of New Jersey To Norfolk and Rich
mond, within the last month. | was fOrclbly
struck with the reflection; is it possible that
Virginia is dependent upon New Jersey for
potatoes, when portion Of Virginia has the
finest climate aud soil for producing this
valuable vegetable in the world, old Ireland
not excepted, the land of potatoes? The
mountainous parts Of the Valley, extending
from the Blue Ridge to the Allegheny noun
taiEs, cannot be ufpasSed for soil and Gil
mate for the production Of the potato. Yet
Virginia, to a great extent, gets large por-
tiOn Of the potatoes she consumes from the
sterile and barren soil of New Jersey. Oh,
how improvident has Virginia been Of the
bounteous gifts of Heaven. And is this all?
No; by the side of the Sloop loaded with po-
tatoeS, was a schooner lreighted with hay
And where do you suppose she hailed from !
New Jersey. | thought this must be a
mistake. 1t cannot be possible that New
Jersey is shipping hay 10 Richmond: but
upon inquiry found it to be a sad reality.
My eyes were extended to the Valley Of
Virginia, and from there 10 the Alleghanies,
and | asked myself how long will barren
New Jersey furnish the low-lands of Virgin
ia with hay and potatoes, after the iron
horse finds his way into the interior Of Nlr-
GINA? Not long, | hope.-CoIr. Of Rock

H.. Wise, balif of the Criminal Court, on
New Jersey avenue, near the Capitol. \
stone was thrown at the window which
broke out the entire sash, smashing the
glass to pieces. Mr.. Wise looked out to see
what was going on, and pistol was
fired at him, the ball grazing his hair; be
tell back, and several balls were shot int.
the house, some of which be picked up
and found to be rifle or large pistol
balls. Mr.. Wise after the parties were gone,
proceeded to make an examination, and dis.
covered that an attempt had been made to
fire the house by placing quantity of cotton
saturated with combustible fluid in parts Of

Pork and Bacon.

We have been informed by President NJ,
Daniel that, up to this time, about $4,000
hogs less have passed over the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad this season than did
last A very great falling off. just think
of it, We farmers, who make tobacco to buy
pork.
We learn that many parts OF the coun-
try below here are badly supplied with pork,
and that the farmers are anxious TO buy even
at the high prices now asked. We nave been
farming twenty years, and have yet to buy
the first pound Of pork for our own use.
Two or three hundred dollars per annum for
bacon, is a much more serious tax, and bears
much more heavily on the farmers, than the
taxes paid the sherifs, and about which we
hear SO much grumbling. If every farmer
would determine to raise his own bacon, and
some to spare we should soon hear but little
complaint about the heavy burdens for I'M
proving the old Commonwealth. We say to
the farmers, mako more corn and less tObac-
CO; have large full corn houses, and your
smoke houses will be filled from your own
hog pens A farmer, to be prosperous,
should have something Of everything to spare;
and these little incomes, aside from the reg
ular market crops, goes to fill up many little
expenses, and leaves much the largest por-
ton of the tobacco and wheat money to be
nut aside TO start the little folks in the world.
This is the beginning Of the year, end let the
farmers determine to raise their own bacon,
and our word for it they will succeed

In reference to the editorial article in the
Sentinel of Friday evening, beg to say,
(being fully advised on the subject that
neither Mr.. Mckenzie, nor the Company OF
which be is President, had or has any thing
whatsoever, directly or indirectly, to do with
the petitions respecting the Alexandria and
Washington Railroad Company; and be-
lieve that he and they were entirely unin-
formed about them, until the presentation of
the petition which the retained advocate of
the Alexandria and Washington Railroad
Company, wiz: the Sentinel aforesaid) re-
fers to. Mr. Mckenzie, as was his duty, pre-
sented the petition, which was mailed to him,
with q request that he would do so; and he,
and the Delegate from Fairfax, will doubtless
do the same with others, numerously signed,
which have since been sent to them, to the
same purport, unless frightened by the arti-
Gle of the retained advocate" Mr.. Nc
Kenzie can take care of himself, but he will
excuse me for saying that the characteristic
trait Of the said retained advocate" is well
enough known to render it unnecessary to
give himself any extra trouble on the sub
iect. a PROMOTER or THE PETITIONS.

Bold surgical Operation.

On the Sth inst at noon, there was no small
amount of excitement exhibited 10 the surgl,
cal ward and operating theatre OF the Royal
lnhrmary, Edinourg, resulting from the ex'
/ pectatlon OF very formidable surgical oper'
alton taking place that morning. AT ii
| o'clock the room was crowded TO excess, and
numbers of medical men from all parts came
10 witness it. The patient had for long
/ period suffered from cancer of the tongue,
and Professor Syme had determined upon re-
moving the organ bodily. Shortly after II
o'clock the man was led into the theatre
placed upon the table; and quickly rendered
powerleSs through the potent influence Of the
ehlOroform which was administered to him.
Professor Syme commenced by making YER
tIcal incision through the integument cover
ing the chin, and then sawed through the
lower Jaw at the sympbysis. The division
being made, he next proceeded to cut away
the tongue at the very root, close TO the hyold-
bone. The arteries were quickly tied the
hCmorrhage was comparatively little, the
man having lost only at few ounces OF blood.
The jaw was again placed together and the
iutcgument sewed up. The man was actual
ly able to walk out of the room. AT the close
Of the operation Professor Syme remarked
that the removal Of the tongue bodily had
been successfully performed in Italy, but the
moduS oprandi was OF a different nature; the
incisions having been made entirely in the
throat, but be Professor Syme) considered
that that mode was attended with more danger
than the one he had chosen to adopt. This OF
Grafton has never yet been performed in Great
Britain, and, should the patient recover,
which is earnestly hoped and believed, the
highest praise will be due to Professor Syme
for hayings Skilllully undertaken that which
no surgeon OF the country bad formerly ven
tured upon.-EdiaJuy -lJceriiSer.
The Scotsman adds:--Ihe patient walked
out of the theatre speechless, but grateful,
and happy, and has continued well ever
since, being fed with a tube, can now, how
ever swallow, and yesterday he spoke, or
rather, breathed out the work milk lie is
cheerful, and gives every hope of thorough
recovery.
