Speaking of the Department of the Interior,
at Washington, the Union says 1.-THE largest
material interest-the richest and most compl-
Gated trust in the whole world-we mean, OF
course, the management of the public lands-is
embraced in the office of the interior. This
Estate, at the very lowest estimate, covers one
thousand five hundred millions of acres, without
counting vast regions which are supposed to be
inaccessible or worthless for other causes: Ii
we add to the heavy, responsible, and delicate
duties devolvcd upon the Department by our
Great Land System, the Indian Office, the Pen
sion Office, and the Patent Office the supervision
of the accounts of marshals, and the clerks OF
the federal courts, the management OF mines,
the penitentiary, the census, Public Buildings,
The construction of roads and many other affairs
Of interest, the people Of the United States will
have some idea of the amount Of labor thrown
upon that Department."

SURGIcAL.-A correspondent of the Marlboro
Gazette says:-''The case reported below is one
calculated to attract attention of the Medical
fraternity who read your paper, and it is hoped,
therefore, you will give it an insertion.
Amputation Of the Thigh.-This important
operation was some weeks since most successful
pvr 4 Wood, of this county,
aided by DIR. Bayne, for a disease of the most
fatal character He adopted the flap method,
and in less than five minutes completed the am
putation. The patient was nearly seventy years
of age, and was attacked some time ago with
senile modification of the foot The progress
of the disease continued until the whole foot and
leg, up to the knee, became disorganized, leav-
ing the bones Of the leg extensively ex posed
and rendering it manifest that, unless the alter
native of amputation was resorted to without
delay, death would be the inevitable result.
This case is one Of great Importance to tie
practitioner, because the most eminent surgeons
consider the operation inadmissible, and neces-
arily fatal in gangrene of old,age." B.

A HARD Case tather's punishment of
daughter-A well-known citizen of Boston died
recently, leaving property valued at from $780,
900 to 100000, his disposition Of which is
thus narrated by the Ledger, of that city:
Some few years since one of his daughters
saw tit to marry gentleman Of high moral
character, although poor in this worlds goods,
belonging to the marine corps of the United
States. The father opposed the marriage, and
has ever since refused to recognize his daughter
or do anything for her. She has lived in very
humble way in Newport with her family, con-
sisting of her husband and four Children
Learning that her father was very i'll at the
fremont House, and knowing that her mother
and only sister were abroad, she came to Boston,
and, through mutual friend, solicited the privi-
lege and pleasure of minstering to his comfort,
peal was repulsed with scorn, and she was thus
deprived of the opportunity of doing what every
right-minded woman would seek to do under
similar circumstances. He died, and she, not
withstanding all that had taken place, attended
his funeral, and saw his mortal remains deposi
ted in their last resting place.
The will Of the deceased has just been opened,
and it is found that he has put his whole pro-
perty in trust, excepting we believe, one legacy
Of ten thousand dollars, providing for the pay
ment to his wife of $4,000 per annum, and a
single daughter (now with her mother) and two
sons five thousand dollars each per annum, on
the condition of forfeiture if either of them ever
gives one farthing to the married daughter
And to meet the requirements of law he gives
to this married daughter the pittance of four
hundred dollars per annum, to show his relent-
less hostility to one of his own blood, who saw
fit to bestow her affections upon one she loved.

day afternoon last. Hon. j. F. GARDINER, was
called to the Chair, and J. w. JENKINS, ESQ.,,
appointed Secretary. The Agent of the Com
missioners of the road, Mr.. BOWIE, being pre-
sent, addressed the meeting and made a most
encouraging statement of the progress he had
made in the discharge of the duties for which
he had been appointed. He had held meetings
in Prince Georges, Anne Arundel and now in
Charles, and could say that everywhere the most
lively interest was manifested in the great I'M
dertaking upon the part Of the citizens of these
counties. While occupying the floor, Mr.. B.
read letter from Mr.. ROBINSON, the President
of the Richmond and Fredericksburg rail road,
addressed to a gentleman of this county, in
which he regretted his inability to attend the
meeting at Port Tobacco; but expressed his
great confidence in the rapid prosecution of the
enterprise as soon as the Company is organized.
This letter concluded by saying: "Money is
abundant, and public confidence in the capacity
of the contemplated road to pay well is I'M
bounded I have no doubt whatever of enlist
ing the necessary capital as soon as requisite,
for it is a self evident fact that the very great
extent Of contributing roads, direct and lateral,
which must inevitably pour their rich tides of
travel over your road will render the profits of
the work fixed fact in the public mind long
before the result even can establish it, and in
spire confidence in the enterprise of the firm
est character" Mr.. Bowie regarded the opin-
ions expressed in the letter as most encouraging
to the hopes of the friends of the road.
GEORGE BRENT, Esq, of this county, being
present. was called upon for speech. The call
was very unexpected to this gentleman, but he
responded in manner that reflects credit upon
his ability as an of-hand speaker and sound,
deep thinking man. The facts and arguments
which he presented to the minds of all present,
were clear and convincing of the great value of
rail roads to the landed interests of all sections
of the county where they are laid.
SAMUEL II. BERRY, Esq, of Prince Georges
county, was next called upon, and obeying the
call, which was made upon him from every
quarter of the room, entertained the meeting for
a considerable length of time with speech of
great interest, which was marked throughout
with eloquence and force.
The meeting was we'll attended notwithstand-
ing the very unfavorable state of the weather.
evincing deep interest in the work on the part
those present. The amount of subscriptions
taken on this occasion we have not learned, but
understand that the Agent feels much encour-
aged from the iberality and zeal manifested by
our citizens.
