SURGICAL OPERATIONS.

DIR A. w. Smythe, House Surgeon to the New
Orleans Charity Hospital has accomplished tri-
umph in surgery, which wili rank him among the
most distinguished of the profession the world
over, Gnd an acquaintance with which will doubt
less be acceptable and useful to the members Of
the faculty in the Confederate States.
The Mobile Tribune is indebted to DIR James
Burns, formerly one of the Visiting Physicians and
Surgeons Of tho New Orleans Charity Hospital,
and now Of Mobile, for the subjoined abstract OF
the case, as given in parnphlct In which il has
been reported for publication: -.
The operation is that Of igaturing the arteria in.
uominata for subelayian aueurism first suggested
by Mr. Allan Burns in 1911. It has hitherto
been known as among the most difficult and the
most fatal ever performed. Out of twenty record
ed eases, the first of which was undertaken by Dr.
Valentine Mott, of New York, on the llth Of
June, 1913, not one recovery had occurred, down
to the present year. ..4a
DIR Smythe came to the conclusion that the ycr-
tebral artery was the channel through which tho
hemorrhaae forced its way, and that the vessel
Giust be tied before the hemorrhage could be pre-
vented Accordingly, on the Sth Of July, he per-
formed that operation on his pa,iept. On the fol
lowing morning the shot was removed from the
original wound; marked decrease in tho circula.
ton apparent, the Sigh; pulsation at the wrist
disappearing; GOODNESS and edema supervcned,
and the brachial artery became occluded, feeling
corded throughout its whole extent In few
days, however, these uufavorablc symptoms suLsi-
ded, and slight pulsation was felt in the radial ar
terry.
No further hemorrhage took place, the new
wound healed rapidly; the Egature coming away
on the tenth day
On the 18th of September the patient was en-
tirely well, with the exception of lacking complete
control over the muscles Of the arm, which, how
ever, he was rapidly regaining.
Thus is c0nsummated' one Of the greatest tri-
umphs of modern surgery calculated to lead to i'm
portant advantages to the human race. II Is not
to be ignored, indeed, that although it will save
and proloOg life, there are subsequent dangers
possible; but they are as nothing in comparison
with the positive advantages and probable chances
against them.

MCCULLoCH VS.. BooN.-The decision made
in this case, on yesterday, in our place, by his
Honor Judge French, will, doubtless, prove inte-
resting to many. The petitioner, Joseph d. Nc
Culoch, is private of Capt. Boon's company of
Senior Reserves. He lacked only few days of
being fifty years old when he enrolled and he
was over fifty when he was ordered into service
The point made by his counsel was, that the spi-
rt ard reason of the act of congress, which says
that sail white men, residents of the Confederate
States between the ages of seventeen and fifty,
shall be in the military service of the Confederate
States for the war;" releases from said SER
vice after he has attained the age of fifty. No
langnags in the act, puts any young man just
coming of the age of seventeen in the service; yet
the officers of the government daily enrolling
the young men soon as they arrive at that sge
The liberal construction, and they held reasonable
construction, which puts these young men in on
their arrival at that age, ought to exempt them
who come to be fifty BY parity OF reasoning The
was fully argued by the counsel on both sides,
after which his Honor decided against the petit
toner and remanded him into the hands of his
captain. The counsel tor the government was

WAKE SUPERIOR CoURT.--Judge Saunders, at

ed by a recent statute to landlord against ten
ant refusing to vacate, his Honor after verdict in
favor Of the plaintiff ordered new trial because
the plaintiff instructed the officers to demand

jury assessed the damages in Confederate currency.

RELIEF FOR CONFEDERATE SUFFERERS AT

is performing most humane act in sending relief
to the Confederate sufferers, by Yellow Fever, at
Newbern or vicinity Having learned that many
of our people, within the Yankee lines, we're suf-

without medical attention of any sort, Gen.
Baker asked and obtained permission, fromthe Sec
retary of War, to send down such medical aid and
other means of relief and succor as he could OBJ
tain, and as the enemy wou I'D allow him to fur

Under this arrangement VIE learn that DIR o. A.

but humane duty and will be sent down to New
