WASHINGTON, September 29.-Ihe I'M
usually protracted Cabinet session of
yesterday has been the cause Of no little
speculation to-day, and the knowing
ones aver that, aside from the conside-
ration of removals and appointments,
the subject of Mexican affairs was dis

to declare that information has reached
the Government that Macmillan intends
TO abandon Mexico by December, and
that the Administration is considering
how it can best act in restoring the Lib
eral Government TO power BE this as
it may, there does not seem TO be any

closeted with the President some time

to whether General Dix has accepted
the mission to France or the New York
Naval Office, and the answer seems to be
that he will fill both ultimately, though,
for the present, he is commissioned as
Naval Officer Ike mission to France,

re-appointed.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.

Memphis is suffering at this time from
an evil that should not exist The fall
season has opened, and the activity in
trade is something greater than was
generally looked for. But our city is
not the recipient of its just proportion
Combinations long since formed against
our interests, have a eliminating point
in our mortuary reports. The stories
carried to, or originated in the interior,
of mortality here, brighten away vast
amount of trade, and divert it
to other places These reports
are false to very great extent,
and highly injurious. The Mobile and
Ohio road, we are informed, is doing an
immense business in the way of through
freights to all parts of West Tennessee
and North and Eastern Mississippi.
Goods purchased in the western cities
for the area of country heretofore cup
piled by Memphis, escape and find an
outlet elsewhere We believe that there
is no occasion for this, but what the rem
edy is, we do not undertake to deter
mine. We hear it stated that Noble and
New Orleans are 10 command a great
trade that once belonged to us. All that
country contiguous to the Mobile and
Ohio rhilroad seems bent on avoiding
Memphis. Why2 We leave the answer
of this question to our merchants, whose
information on this subject is superior to
any we possess.
There is one point, however, concern
ing which there can hardly be dispute.
On the east of the Mississippi river. rivals
and hostile combinations have the power
to iniure us and dwarf our city. We see
around us immense Improvements in
progress What will they amount to il
our commerce languishes and our pros
perity dies? Population flows to that point
where employment is TO be had. This
necessitates the erection of houses, the
laying out Of streets, and all other works
incident to progress. Are we not little
too fast, if our trade leaves us? Can a
great population exist where it cannot
find employment Certainly not. What
can capital do where there is no produce
to operate upon ? 1t cannot operate
upon itself, any more than a snake can
swallow itself without becoming a ring.
Well, then, il we would maintain our
prosperity and position, must We not
devise some means to check the causes
which carry our trade to other points ?
If we cannot do this, cap We not open
other channels Of communication with
new productive regions ? Certainly.

Dr. $ Hiason, Cor. Secoad and adams ste:
DEAR SIR: Permit Inc 10 express my graft
tude to you for the able manner in which you
operated on inc on Saturday last. The bad
condition of my upper teeth, resulting from sal
ivatIon while in the army, necessitated their
extraction. but dreading the painful operation,
| deferred from time TO time submitting myself
to a dentist. 1 dislike the use OF ether and
chlOroform on account Of the nervous prOstra-
ton and sickness that almost invariably follows
their use, and learning from my friend, Mr..
Leon Soils Cohen, that he had imported for
you one of Dr. Richardson's Improved AnGs-
thesia Instruments. adapted for Dentists use.
/ concluded TO place myself in your hands. My
teeth had dccayed in such a way that the ex-
traction was no easy task, and confess seated
myself in your chair with some dread. With
pleasure, however, 1 recall the fact that, not
withstanding had FIFTEEN teeth extracted
at the one sitting, did not experience a ngle
pang of pain, nor did any subsequent i'll effects
result from the use of the Anasthesia Appa-
ratus. An invention like this is really public
benefaction, and when in the hands of an able
and quick operator like yourself, deserves TO be
made public and for the sake of feliow-suiieT-
ers. do not hesitate to place my experience
upon record.
