two years ago the celebrated Surgeon
De In Bougcrrebou2icre, OF Paris, dis
covered a process BY which the human
body may be paralyzed at will--all but
the nerves of the eye, brain aud digcs-
tive organs. A person under the infn-
ence of Bouguerrebouzicrism sees and
thinks as usual, but cannot move u mus
Gle. The great result achieved by the
discovery consists in the fact that il en-
ables the eye OF science to observe the
whole process of digestion, by merely
ripping open the abdomen Of the sub
ject, without pain to the latter. But
the poor man sees and knows all the
time that they are splitting him like q

Hamlet, "bear wary eye" at all times

who is either scholar else very careless In his
statements In q certain panegyric among the rest
u Is mentioned "When Peter the Great visited
Frederick the Great" Now | deny that Peter ever
visited Frederick in Sans SoucI, or anywhere else.
Again, the orator states that noted legal Or
nanent OF the British bar sshad innate love and
veneration for Washington" John Locke, In his
ESSAY on the UNDERSTANDING" denies the existence
OF innate ideas; besides Johnson, Sherdan, Walker
and Webster agree In The definition OF the word In
nate; and according TO their Interpretation it was
tmpossible for Erskne, or anv one else TO have an
Innate vcneration Tor anybody else. The same rev.
ered gentleman ignoring the existence OF the group
or the '.LaocoOn" and many other masterpieces,
states the scniptured figures OF Luther's monument

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER $. 1859.
Extending Our s.urs,rie,


1t is generally understood among those con-
versant with the opinions OF Senator Stewart.
that he is warm supporter and earnest
friend of a movement in Congress 10 extend
our boundaries to the east and north AZ the
mex. session of that body. He believes, and
rightly, we think, that il would result in ma
terinl advantage both to this State and 10 the
inhabitants of Southern Idaho and Western
Utah. The town of Corinne, near the mouth
of Bear river, promises to become a very re-
spectacle and thriving business place. COM
posed almost exclusively Of Gentle inhahi-
tants who are now forced to pay tribute TO
the Mormon hierarchy OF Utah and look 10
Mormon Legislation for the laws under which
they live. Senator Stewart, however, does
not desire to act in the premises or seek 70
extend our boundaries over an unwilling peo-
pie, and hence, before any action can be taken,
it will be necessary TO have some expression
of the sentiments of those whom we seek to
annex to our State. Some of the Journals OF
Idaho have already expressed disapprobation
and unqualified dissent from the proposed
plan of acquisition, but we apprehead the late
decision of Judge NOggle denouucing the Chi
nose tax as Unconstitutional, unjust and in
iquitous, will act like the charm of new in
SEPARATION ON the heretofore becloUlcd and
stubborn minds of that people. Without the
revenues derived from the Chinese tax. which
no Federal Judge will permit to be enforced
in that Territory hereafter, when a proper
case is made, they will see an imperative
necessity for State organization, which they
cannot get in the next twenty years with the
present prospects ahead. and hence had bet
ter consent at once TO IA marriage with this
young and thrifty State.
With tho now road completed to Cope dis
trict and Silver City, Idaho, and the capital
located at Elko, they would be sufficiently
near for all practical purposes, III fact much
nearer than the people OF White Pine and FL
ko are now to Carson. By annexation to Ne
vada, all county officials and members of the
Legislature would be paid fees and salaries in
coin instead of currency, in fact, the whole
business of the people would be brought Mt
once TO lawful specie basis. which in a
mineral-producing country is certainly desira-
bic. Whatever may be the opinion Of the peo-
pie Of Idaho at first blush OH this subject we are
satisfied that time and agitation Of the subject
will convince them that their interests lie in
the direction Of an alliance with Nevada and
the Central Pacific Railroad. How the pco-
pie OF Co1nne would yiew this proposition of
extending our boundaries so us to embrace all
the territory west Of Salt Lake and TO the
n0rthwaTi to include COrinne, We do not
know, but would be pleased 20 hear some cZ-
preston of opinion from the Reporter if il
VIII bc 50 kind as u give its views thereon.

VIVA, .Indansnaen,m

Some of our Republican friends, we under
stand, are not well pleased with the course 81
the INDEPENDENT, because we stopped over"
somewhat on the Democratic side when writ
ing of the Democratic victory in California;
and have charged that our paper is not indie
pendent but Democratic. II by independent
they mean neutral, then they are right, as our
paper is not neutral in politics, and never will
be while we have control of its columns. Bat
to write and publish the opinions Of an odi-
tor without fear or favor from any quarter
ought TO be considered the very quinteSsence
of independence, whether upon political or
any other subject upon which an editor is
called to write. Does any one charge that the
independent press of California are not par
tis.lu? For example: the Sacramento Union,
Bee or Bulletin. These Journals all claim to be
independent, and yet they are continually
splashing mad from the political nut into
which they have been driven since the Repub-
hclu party CAME into power.
The proper designations of such journals
are independent with strong Republican
leauings: while the san Francisco Herald.
Call. and the EIEo INDEPENDENT may be prop
erly charged with leauingS the other way.
Until independent" and neutral be-
come synonymous terms this paper will con-
time to have and express decided convictions
upon al! political topics presented for discus
sion.
