SURGICAL OPERATION UPON GOVERNOR
HICKS. Tho painful operation of lith-
otomy was successfully performed upon
Governor Hicks on Saturday morning,
at III o'clock, by Prof. N. R. SMITH,
of Baltimore, assisted by his son. Drs.
CLAUDE and RIDEoUT. of Annapolis, were
also present. The Sun says chloriform
was administered to the patient, and du-
ring the operation, which was performed
in about two minutes, he was of course
insensidle to pain. The Governor suf-
feTed considerably after tie effects Of the
chloroform had passed off, but at three
o'clock in the afternoon he was quite
comfortable. The urinary calculus, re-
moved by the knife and forceps from the
bladder, was about three-quarters of an
inch in diameter. The Governors phys
ical system aud general health were in
favorable condition for the operation,
and the cold dry atmosphere of Saturday
was also advantageous. The Only dan
ger to be apprehended from the opera
ton is subsequent inflammation. and
several days must elapse before the Gov.
ernor can be pronounced free from dan.
ger, There is no reason, however, tc
apprehend anything but a favorable re.
suit.

OLD BRowN A PREAonER-The Dan
vile (Va.) Register, allnding to the
stated belief that old John Brown once
Travelled through Virginia in the capacity
Of pedlar, says:
We have heard some Of the citizens
Of Danville state that this same man came
to Danville under the assumed name of
McLane, and passed himself of here as
Baptist preacher, having on one occasion
attended divine service at the Baptist
church, in this place. A gentleman
who resides near Ringgold, says that
McLane, (alies Brown dined at his
house about the same time. John Brown
acknowledged that he had travelled as far
South as to the North Carolina line. As
suredly, if all these speculations as to
the traitors identity be correct, he has
led most versatile life. Pedlar
preacher, robber. rouge, traitor, muir
derer, assassin, and we know not how
many other titles belong to this mis-
guided man, nov no more"

"This. man, Hinton r.. Helper, as we
have said, is a native of this State He
is thief and scoundrel. While en-
ployed some years since in Salisbury, as
a clerk, he robbed his employer. The
fact was proved on him, and we believe
be bimself admitted it, and offered some
lame excuse for his picking and steal
ing" He was exposed some two years
ago in Congress by one Of our Senators,
Mr.. Briggs, whose statements where he
is known are implicitly relied on. The
exposure is part Of the Congressional
records. and may DO examined by Help

me IN, next tsdc he appeared among men as
sem ied in numbers was when Lawrence was
surrounded by Sheriff Jones posse comp,itaiys,
from Missouri,) during the uovernorship of
Shannon, in the month Of December, 1855.
His eldest son, John, had command Of large
company of men, and he himself had charge
Of a Dozen He was dissatisfied with the
conduct of Robinson and Lane, and predicted
that their celebrated treaty, with its dipio-
matte phraseology, would only postpone the
discussion at arms, which was inevitable and
rapidly approaching Lane sent for him to
Council of War "Tell the General Brown
said "that when he wants me to fight, to say
so but that is the only order will obey. -
In disobcdience to general orders, he even
went out of camp with his dozen men to meet
his invaders--to I" draw little blood" as he
phrased it but by the special messenger of
Lane he was induced to forego his intention
and return. He always regretted doing so,
and maintained that if the conflict had been
brought on at that time great deal Of blood
shed would have been spared.
JouN BRowNs PoIIrGos-As to John
Browns political opinions, it is asserted that
he was a member of the Republican party. 1t
is false. lie despised the Republican party
OF course he was opposed to the extension
of slavery and in favor, also, of organized
political action against it. Bntwhen the Re-
publicans cried halt, John Brown said, For
WARD, march He was an aboltionist OF the
Bunker Hill school. He had as little sympa-
thy with Garrison as Seward He believed
in human brotherhood and in the God Of
Battles he admired Nat Turner as well as
George Washington. He could not see that
it was heroic to fight against petty tax on
tea, and endure seven years Of warfare for a
political right and crime to fight in favor Of
restoring an outraged race to every birthright
with which their Maker had endowed them,
but Of which the South had for two centuries
robbed them. The recent outbreak was pre-
mature. The inevitable coming triumph Of
the Republican party. have the best author
ity for stating, was the most powerful reason
for the prccipitatc movement. The old man
distrusted the Republican leaders; he said
that their success would be a backward move
ment to the anti-slavery enterprise. His rea-
son was that the masses had confidence in
these leaders; and would believe that by
their action they would ultimately and peace
fully abolish slavery. That the people would
be deceived, that the Republicans would be
as conservative Of slavery as the Democrats
themselves, he sincerely-may | add. and
,gih reoson--believed Apathy to the well
fare of the slave would follow; hence it was
necessary to strike blow at once You know
the result.

THE ARCHITECT OF THE STATE
HOUSE

HOUSE.
We have received. from Thos. w Silloway
of Boston, first Architect of the new State
House, a communication of five pages, the
publication Of which he deems due to him.
We exercised the rights of editorship over
the details furnished by Mr.. Richards for our
history and description of Vermont State
Houses, aud shall do the same with the ar
ticlc of Mr. Silloway. Mr. s. takes excep-
ton to tho time stated in which he was the
Architect Of the new building to wit from
March, 1857, to "the autumn" of that year
our statement being that cup to that time, T.
w. Silloway OF Boston was the Architect
when j. II. Richards, of Boston, was appoint
ed, and continued until the completion and
furnishing of the building" On this point,
Mr.. S. quotes the report Of the Superinten-
dent to the Governor, bearing date October
18th, 1851 when the brick and stone work
was nearly completed, as follows
Before closing this hastily prepared report,
must be permitted to acknowledge the deep
obligations which | feel myself under to
Thomas w. Silloway, Esq, of Boston, upon
whom has been conferred the appointment of
Architect of the work, for his very valuable
professional services thus far rendered upon
it. Whoever it is believed, shall DC permit
ted to contemplate the magnificent structure
when completed, if he be a lover Of architcc-
tural beauties. cannot fail to recognize, in tho
work before him, the hand Of one thoroughly
skilled in his profession, possessing not only
a superior taste of the beautiful, but a thor
ough knowledge Of architectural proportions,
as well as that which constitutes utility, con-
veuience and durability"
Moreover, Mr. S states that on the 18th
of March, 1858, in reply to tender of res
ignatiou by him. (Siloway,) the Superinten-
dent expressed an unwilingness to part with
his services ard refused to accept his resig
nation This seems to carry the term of Mr.
SIS services from 1.-THE autumn of 1857 tc
the ensuing March.
Mr. Siloway further states that during thu
first year when be was Architect "the who'll
great design must be determined and recog
nized and this was undoubtedly true as t,
the entire exterior, and to the interior diyis
ions and arrangements of rooms, since the in
terror and exterior walls went up together
; Due credit for this we have already distinctl
, given to Mr.. Siloway
As to the pediment ends of the wings, Mr.
S, states that he suggested to the Commits
sioners, mir. Marsh, particularly that tn
I rophylgum of Greece, of which the Capito
