INDIGNATION OF SECEssIoNIsTs.- During the
sitting of the Virginia State Convention, the
Seeessionists of Richmond became very indg
nant at the evidences of the feeling in favor
of the Union. They hauled down the stars
and stripes and ran up Secession flags upon
the prominent buildings. Roger A. Pryor
said that if the Western Virgiuians would not
protect the honor of the Old Dominion, East
ern Virginia must cut loose from them, and
revolutionize the State. Their insults to the
Union delegates were open and disgraceful
Mr. Carlyle,o of Morgan county, recently made
a strong Union speech, and as he was leaving
the Convention, accompanied by two ladies,
he was hissed and groaned at by the crowd
correspondent of the Morgantown (VaO
Gazette learns that Q. Jennings Wise told a
member of the Convention few DAYS ago
that if this Convention did not pass an ordi-
nance of secession, it ought to be driven from
its hall at the point of the bayonet.

DIFFICULT SURGICAL OPERATION. - Some
eighteen months ago, w. G. Holt, ESQ, at
the time resident Of the vicinity, now an
acting Justice OF the Peace of San Juan, re.
ceived an injury by the premature explosion
of blast in a mining claim, which broke
both bones in his left arm, between the wrist
and elbow, and completely shaft sred his left
left hand. The surgeon in attendance at the
time, did not succeed in adjusting the frac-
tured bones, and the consequence was, they
became Gallous at the ends ard refused to
knit. Although the wound healed, Mr.
Holts arm was not only deprived of all
strength. but had TO be held to its place bv
splints, to prevent the hand from dangling.
which decided him to submit to a surgical
operation and eDdeavor to restore it to at
least some of its former eomeliness and use
fulness
The operation was performed on w ednes-
day, by DR.. N. A. Kelly, before quite n large
number of curious spectators who crowded
around the windows Of the Doctors office
and penetrated TO his interior premises Two
missions were made through the flesh of the
back part of the arm, the four ends of the
two fractured bones-radius and luna-taken
up, the points sawed of, the bones properly
replaced, and the wound SO dressed as to in

RESIDENT PHYSICIAN OF THE INsANE ASYLUM
The Alta maks the following observations
respecting the election of Dr. Tilden, Of
Butte county, to the position of Resident
Physician of the State Insane Asylum:
After long and protracted struggle over
the election Of a Resident Physician for the
Insane Asylum at Stockton, DR.. Ti!den, the
Douglas nominee, was elected by small ma
jority over the present incumbent, DR.
Aylett. DIR. Tilden is medical man of
much experience and merit, and ranked high
in his profession in his former place of resi-
dence lie is graduate of the Jefferson
Medical College of Philadelphia, and after
years Of successful practice, which broke
down his health, he came an invalid to Cali
fornia, in hopes to gain his former strength
lie was not disappointed, and after few
years residence, finding both "health and
strength" he has made California his future
home. We feel confident the State insiitu-
tion will not lose any of its usefulness under
the Physician elect, Dr. Tilden.

LET HIM BE RESowNED.-The Texas Advo-
cate has the following paragraph:
Rev. L. b. Dawson, of the Louisville Con-

Nashville the following list of subscriptions ::
For the Advocate, 10; Home Circle, q /;
Sunday School Visitor, So; Quarterly Re-
view, /. Bro. ID. is a working man lie can
hold more protracted meetings gather more

A SERIOUS INCoNvENIENCE.-The ordinance
regarding the removal of SO called obstruc-
tons from the sidewalks is working a serious
inconvenience to our merchants, and we un-
derstand that they are getting up petition
for the repeal of the ordinance. The citizens
do not complain Of the very slight obstruc-
tion made 10y the deposit of boxes of goods,
ct cetera on the sidewalk There is always
room left for the passing of pedestrians, and
the exhibition Of goods, etc, in front is evil
dence Of the well-stocked condition of the
interior. The sidewalks being all cleared
now, traders from the mountains pass along,
and, seeing no indications as of old in front
of the business establishments, conclude that
the town has "gone in," and that business has
"izzled out"
In San Francisco and Sacramento, no such
ordinance, as we are informed, exists, and the
blank appearance of our business houses in
front must appear in singular and damaging
contrast TO theirs. AS to the mere matter OF
obstructing the sidewalks, of course it is to
| the interest of the merchants to keep the way
open for pedestrians. If they blocked out
all customers, their profits of trade would be
but Slim
The ordinance is needless, and works
detriment. 1t Injuries not only individual
but the general interests of the city.

Low Down.

Some Of 1he Republicans around hero say
that Old Abe is playing possum-lying low
and keeping his eye skinned for the main
chance. When the seeding States think
cartair1y, they have him dead and go alcng
about their business, he will be up and NOV
ing. After playing possum awhile. they say
he is then going to play the lion. and, when
he roars, the country will quake.
To drop metaphor, they declare vehement
" that he is playing a very deep game-that
he is scheming to get the Southern Confede
racy Off their guard, in order that he may
organize strong military array, by land aud
sea, replenish the Treasury, surround himself
with means and resources, secure the friend
ship of foreign powers, and finally launch his
legions upon the South and make the whole
country a subject section of the Union. They
say that behind his apparent present timidl-
ty he has an iron will and Jacksonan char
acter, and that lie will be President of the
United States or die in the attempt. Seward
may quail, they cay, but Lincoln never.
They think he will prove himself one of those
great men. who in the history of important
periods have been equal to the crises which
they were to meet and who have moulded to
their'purpose the circumstances and the events
events Of the age in which lived. They say
that he is calculating the relative strength OF
the North and the South-the amount OF
money which the North can command the
number Of men available for military and
naval service, after leaving sufficient force
at home to attend TO agricultural. mechan-
cal and business pursuits-in short estimat
ing carefully all the chances upon either side
and laying deep his plans for the future.
His object, they say, is to have peace on
terms which shall be deemed reasonable by
the Republican party. If these are not ac-
ceded to, that then he is for wa to the knife,
and the knife to the handle.
1t is very certain that. if there is any OF
the quality of a Cromwell, William Prince
Of Orange or Napoleon about him, he will
make good his opportunity to enroll his name
high up in the lists of fame
We do not believe he is any such man, and
our opinion is that The revolution in the
South is complete, although we shall be
pleased to find that we are no true prophet

weak, and poor. Being in .he circulation. it
pervadcs the whole body, and may burst ont
in disease on any part of it. No organ Is frss
from its attacks. nor is there one which Il may
not destroy. The scroiulous taint is variously
caused by mcrcurai disease, low living disoS-
ed or unhealthy food. impure air, filth and
filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above
all, by the venrrial infection. Whatever be its
origin, it is her :ditary in the constitution de-

third and fourth generation:" indeed, It scens

the iniquities Of the fathers upon their chill

Its effects commence by disposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles: in the glands, swcllings; and on the
surface, eruptins or sores. This foul corrup-
