Important Medical Discovery.

A London correspondent of the L5t,asoy.
gives this account
A great discovery Is now engaging the
attention of the scientific and medical world
Few English names are more familiar to
Americans than that of Dr. John Chapman
once the leading publisher of heretcal books,
now editor of the Westminster, and ALWAYS a
aevotee of science and medicine. He is well
acquainted with many scientific and literary
Americans and many of them, amongst 9th
ers Mr.. Emerson, have resided in his house
when in England. This Dr. Chapman has
been for years engaged in studies and exper-
lments connected with the nervous system
alone, with such men as DR.. Brown-Sequard
OF Paris. For the past year he has been prov
ing tremendous OVERWHELMINGLY, the cure
OF epilepsy, and many diseases hitherto deem
ed lncurable, by means of the external appli-
cation of ice and hot water. in India-rubber
bags, at various parts of the spinal cord, act
ing thus upon the sympathetic nerve, and
through il upon the most important and vital
regions of the body.
Many eminent physicians have accompanied
Dr. Chapman To see the marvels which he had
wrought upon patients who had long ago des-
paired OF health. Some physicians, amongst
others DR.. Wilkinson Though a homeopa-
thlst), have so recognized the Importance of
the discovery, As to commit to DR.. Chapman's
care some of their patients. Cases are attas-
ted where man for six years had three fits
on an average daily, girl who had two from
the ages of thirteen 10 seventeen, had been
entirely cured by ice. just as wonderful
have been the cures of paralysis Many of
the worst and most inveterate female diseases
have yielded to the new cure The treat
ment is as simple as it is grand. Any one
who is troubled by the pressure of blood on
the brain, VIII find that by holding a bag of
ice on the nape of the neck ten minutes, an
equaole flow OF blood can be secured. Those
who are troubled with habitual cold feet may
find relief by apply ing ice to tie small of the
back in the lumbar region. 1t is hard to es-
innate the Importance of this discovery,
which will ere long be ranked by the side Of
that OF Jenner. Several hospitals are already
under DR. Chapman's practice, and, as yet, no
one can bring forward an instance Of failure :"

The REBELLION IN SAN DoMINGo.-Reeent
and trustworthy news confirms the previous
reports, that the Spaniards, after the destruc-
ton of the town of Santiago De Cabellero,
the Spanish garrison, with 1000 reinforce
ments, retreated to Port au Platte. The in
surgents so harrassed their march as to cause
a loss to the Spaniards of 900 to l,20O in
killed and wounded
Fresh arrivals of troops reinforced them TO
1000 men. Yet even these were confined to
the town by the efforts Of not over goo in
surgents, the Spaniards not making a single
effort to drive off their assailants. This con
tinued till Oct. I'd when the Spanish troops
retired to the fort, and the town was given
up to pillage. Part Of the Spanish embarked
for San Domingo, reducing the garrison to
1900. On the 4th the Spaniards again pill
LACED the town, and the DOmincans then tried
hand at the same game Nearly all the houS-
es and stores were plundered and such con-
tents as could not be removed were DESTROYED.
Six hundred Spaniards then sailed from the
fort, and after a severe fight drove the Do
minicans from the town. The Spaniards
were assisted by the guns of the fort, which
set fire to the town.
The fire continued till the departure of the
Santiago, DESTROYING amongst other the valua-
bic stores of considerable body of foreign
merchants In fact the whole town, except
the W cSIcYdn Mission House ana a row OF
small buildings, was burned, and it was be
lieved the balance of the town would be de-
stroyed The losses by two fires at Santiago
and Port au Platte will reach five million
dollars The whole population of the latter
place had fed 10 foreign countries, and thou
sands had gone to the neighboring Islands
Some of the principal merchants are leaving
for the United States The United States
commercial agent was among those who left
None saved aught but their lives.
Another account from the Turks Island
Standard says in the battle the Spaniards
were terribly beaten and driven back to the
fort with the loss of $50 men. \ brisk fire
from the fort compelled the Dominicans to
leave the town. The Government House,
American and British Consuls residences and
Roman Catholic Church were among the
houses burned.
The Spanish soldiers were seen going about
with firebrands in their hands when the fight
was progressing. Report said the Spaniards
would soon evacuate the fort, as they cannot
retain it against the DOminican5, who number
4, 900 men in the neighborhood. The report
SAYS the whole south of the Island Is in actu-
al rebellion, and the Dominicians who are re-
ported to have joined Santa Annahad desert
ed him. The American, British and other
Consuls had arrived at Grand Turk.

Our Home Traitors-DiscoYery Of Startling
Rebel Plot in Ohi0.


An extraordinary case Of treason has re-
Gently come to light, duplicating several per
sons in this city, Columbus, Coyington and
Newport, in conspiring to release rebel pris-
oners al Camp Chase and overthrow the State
Government. The conspiracy was brought to
light by United States detectives, who were
supposed by the parties implicated to be spies
from the rebel army, and were treated with
full confidence.
The plot, as disclosed to the detectives,
was that an attack be made on Camp Chase,
release the prisoners confined there, number
ing ., 300. seize the arsenal at Columbus, take
possession Of the peuitentiary, release John
Morgan and other officers confined there, and
then was to commence rebel campaign in
Ohio United States Marshal Sands and Pro
vost Marshal Reany arrested the following
persons implicated in the plot
Chas W H Cathcart, of Columbus, for
merly School Commissioner OF Ohio.
J. D. Cressap, of Columbus, formerly suit
Ter of the 18th Regulars, who were TO lead
the attack on Camp Chase.
James D. Patton, of Covington, regular
agent of the rebel government, who frequent
" furnished money TO detectives, under the
impression they were spies, and according TO
agreement met Cathcart and others at Camp
Chase, and assisted to mature the plan OF at
tack.
Ruth Mcdonald, of Corington, who acted
as mail-earrier through the rebel lines, and
whose house was the headquarters Of the
rebels.
Samuel 2. Thomas, merchant tailor of Gin
cinnati. and his wife and Catherine Parmen-
ter, of Cincinnati.
Information was obtained that an organiz-
ton exists in Illinois, waiting for the out
break in Ohio to produce similar results in
that State. Other particulars are known to
the authorities, but not vet made public.

The counsel Of iIartyTed Patriot.

From a speech by Gen. v. II. LYrLE, of Ohio,
who killed at Chickamauga Ga, made j few
weeks prior TO his death.
Am told that Union restored by force of
arms is not worth hayingZ Am | told that if
the States now in revolt are whipped in fair
fght-beaten and humiliated-they will be
unworthy and degraded members of the
Union: We must have peace first, says
certain school of politicians. and then if we
can, will argue the South into a recon
structiOn. In other words these gentlemen
would have the Government and the LOYAL
masses of the country drain to the dregs the
bitter cup which they would dash from the
hands of traitors and rebels. The territory
you have occupied is to be abandoned, the
public property, the dockyarGs and fortresses
you have recaptured after two years of war,
are to be surrendered the victorious armies
of the Mississippi, the Cumberland, and the
Potomac, followed by the ieers and SCOTS of
the enemy, are to sneak with arms reversed
and flags trailed in the dust, across the North
ern border; and your Government-the Gov
eminent of Washington, and Jefferson, and
Jackson-is to cover, dishonored and dis
graced, a by-word and kissing among the ma
tons. If the rebel armies q will not say the
rebel States, for it is not against the States,
nor their constitutional rights, we wage war;
If the rebel armies, and the oligarchs who
control them, have their pride broken, and
their prestige humbled, let them blame them
selves. They have sOwn the wind, let them
reap the whirlwind, till the bloody problem
is finally worked out, eye to eye, foot to foot,
sword to sword, bayOnet to bayonet; if need
be. for ten years longer, with iron hearts, and
iron fleets and IRON hail, this generation of
Loyal men will, by Gods grace, endure its
heavy cross, and until the broad daylight Of
peace, and order, and victory shall come, will
stand 10 arms
