A. SURGEON’S REVENGE. The following deeply interesting story is related by Dr.rGibson, in his lectures before the Medical Class of the'Universily of Pennsylvania. The, hero of the is yosglc.onc of the most eminent of the Italian surgeons','pn(L this narrative Is said to have been derived from munnscripl on parch me.nt, accidentally ibund between the backs of two pictures, glued : togethet,*caoh picture in the style of Titan, and supposed lo bo the work of his handj Andre Vesale, says«4|jg manuscript, first saw the light in the city of Brussels, In the year 1614. His Father was an apothecary, attached to the service of the Princess Margaret, mint of the Emperor Charles V, and governess of the Law Countries. Providence conferred on him iiio double advantage of being a native of the .lend which divides with Italy tho glory of being the richesl'ntid most enlightened of the na tions of tho earth, of coming in to the world at a pe riod when & healthy ,ferment in the minds of men, had, in a great meokure, tended to break through and disperse tho stagnant scum of Ignorance and barba rism which had hitherto obspured them. Hie parents had educated him for thaViycdicul profession; his own peculiar genius directed him to the study of anatomy, which he puraucd’wilh an ardor that led to the most successful Up to thp-petiod when' Vesalo first rendered himself conspicious, the anatomy of the human body imperfectly understood ns scarcely to merit that-thd term of science should bo applied to the dim and confute, entertained of it. Vesalo was the first to breakthrough the tram? mcla with which ignoranceand;bjgotry had crippled the march of science; surmounting, with admirable courage ant) constancy, the disgust, the terror, and even tlie peril, inseparable from this description of labor, to which lie had devoted Mmqclf, ho was to bo seen whole, days and nights in the ccmeliicp. sur rounded by the festering remnants of mortality, or hovering about the gibbets, ond the vulture for its prey, in order to skeleton from the remains of executed crftmmls left there to be devoured by the oarriun It was during a sojourn. nt-Biislb,'after fiis return from Italy, (hat Vesalo first beheld at the house of Hans painter, Isabella Van Slcemviyk, tho daughter .of a merchant at Mtcriem, who was destined loexcrcisesomo influence over his future life. Tpsale was IhpOjAcarcely twenty-eight years old, and olready ho the summit of his weft directed ambition. enjoyed the countenance and friendship of tho Celebrated nion of l)ie day.— Erasmus, Melanclhon, ;f*(cltwyck, Verazio, Holbein, ond Titian, wore proud,-to be numbered among his friends. The sJmporoi;6|]arlca V, informed by public rumor of the extraordinary talents of tho young pro feasor, bestowed upon Vesalo, without solicitation, the important charge of his first physician. At the very moment when thefcc honors wore so fast accu mulating, Vosafo first saw Isabella Van' Steenwiyk, and a vision of happiness dawned upon him from nor calm blue eyes. * The family of Van Steenwiyk was a wealthy and honorable one, fur superior to that of Vesalo in,birth.and fortune; but tho distinguished position the UUcr horf. acquired for himself, entitled him to aspire to an oilianco even more exalted. Tho son of the Princess Margaret's apothecary would have been rejected by. the.rich Htorlcm burgher; the Emperor’s first physician was accepted by lilm' os tho most eligible.,son-in-law. Tho msrrihgo was solemnized, and Vesalo, accompanied by his young bride, sot off where Charles then held his court. Vesale was a. man ofgrcal determination, of slrongdccling apd.Violent passions, capable of great extremes of Jove/orftl hatred, and of moat unlimited devotion and tho most relentless rancor. - Buthewas ignorant of all nicer intermediate shades of sentiment whlell.softcn and harmonize, the character, and soornediiß’enominnto (lio gnltnnirius and grace* Ail youthful wlvaa lookedupon as nt i vo. and tvbiuli, although but too often of love, nro often, 100, more offeclivojii winning woman's confidence and tender ness, than love itself. No two natures could ho more I dissimilar Ilian Vesalo and his wife. She was gentle, calm, and undemonstrative, not to bo roused into any I violent evidence of love or anger, nnd so even-tem pered as to bp pronounced by many apathetic. Her fair,and.serene countenance wns the mirror of a soul ns serbno, yet she was dffpnbtu of great depth of feel, ing, although', her natural timidity prevented the silent workings of her heart from appearing bn the surface, 'r. She loved her husband truly; but there was so much of awe mingled with her'affection, os to throw an appearance of restraint over her demeanor toward him, even in tho privacy of domestic life. The very nature of his profession und occupations was ealeu hle'dlo increase that awe, and even to create some degree of repugnance, in a shrinking mind, which nothing but strong affection could overcome. Isa* belli** nature required skilful drawing out and ton cJorToaloring, Vosalo, nit fortunately, understood nothing of Inis sort; ho mistook her timidity for coldriesf,-and resented it accordingly; (his led to her part, which ho attributed to dislike, and jealous distrust at last took possession of his soul. Amidst (ho gßllaqtfioß where, far a wo man to bo young and. at(rJiptjyo, was to command tho attention and authorise tne devotions of tho other sex—-it was no difficult tusk lobrouselho susccptl. bilitiea of a suapioioushusband. and position in tho Emperor's housohold, hod brought him into contact with ill the men of learning and science about the court; tho fame of his wlfe'e beauty poon conferred upon him another sort of distinction ; end although at.first, In aepordapoo with (ho housewifery habits of her country, sho rarely showed horsolf in public, except to go to mass, enough was seen of.her on thoso occasions, to render an acquaintance with tho husband of one so fair, tho object of many s gay qourlior's ambition. Vcsalo's house became,tho re.' sort of all that was .nubia and gallant in Suvillo, and ho, for Mime, believed hi* own Holonllfic converse*, lion to be the attraction. At first tho young wifu, showed her usual polni ipdifibronce.to thqadmiration tjiat followed her wherever she was peonbut at lust, something ip her manner at;d countenance, whenever one particular poison appeared, or hlk name Was mentioned, betrayed ihnt thcfo did exist a boihg who had discovered thp pccro| t brcausing the blood io flew more tumultuously thrp.ngh' her veins. That person was Don Alvar .de Solis, and.as. he was young, hand some, gay, and the,moil Inconstant gallant, ip Seville, tho suspicions of.Vesalo wore painfully aroused. He took silent, noto. of the uaupl, omollonp t o ,at agitated Isabella whenever that, nobleman Was 'in her pre sence.* .. ; “OUR COUNTRY— i MAY IT ALWAYS BK RIOIIT—BUT OR WRONG, OUR COUNTRY. I *./ CARLISLE, PA-, THURSDAY JUNE 15, 1848., Tho general conductor Don Alvar wao calculated to baffle suspicion', being marked by indifference.— This would have misled Ihe'ylgilant husband, had ho nol, on onemcodslon when .his back wqs turned to* wards Don Alvar, perceiving him, in an opposite mir ror, fix his kindling eyes upon Isabella,' with an ex pression not to bo mistaken; while she grew red and paid'by turns,and then, us though unable to surmount her agitation rose and loft tho room. . Shortly after* Vesale received an anonymous note saying, ll Look to your wife and Don Alvar de Solis, and be nol de ceived by appearances, They' only want a filing op porlunily'to dishonor you. Even now he carries about tho glove slio dropped foi him at mass. 11 Vo. sale.shut himself up to ponder upon the most effect, uni means of avenging himself. His resolution was promptly taken. lib had established schools of on* atoniy at San Liicar and Cordova, obtained the cm* peror's permission to visit them, quilled Seville os. tensihly for that purpose, but returned the same night, concealed himself in a tenement belonging, to him, at some distance from his abode in the Alcazar, winch was devoted .’to tho' double purpose of a laboratory and dissecting room. He had taken no person into his confidence]; he was alono with his vengeance, and lie listened only to his counsel. At dark, on the following evening, ho issued forth muffled to tho eyes in n woman's mantle and hood, and 101 l a letter at Don Alvar's habitation, containing an embroidered glove of Isabella's and those words,'l have obtain* cd the key to Vcsalu’s laboratory during his absence; bo at the gale an hour after midnight, and you will be admitted on pronouncing the name of Isabella.” The assignation was punrlually kept by Don Alvnr. At half an hour past midnight, he left his house alone, but he never returned to it. Whither he had gone, . none could sayj nor could any trace of him ever bo discovered.. It was supposed ho mast have missed Ills.footing, and fallen Into tho Gundilquivcr, near! which his abode was situated; and that the body hod been swept away by (lie waves into the ocean. Such an occurrence was calculated to produce u great sensation in the place where it happened; and Vesale, recalled, tlirce weeks after, by the illness of his wife, found the disappearance of Don Alvar the theme of every longue. The altered appearance of Isabella was attributed by Vesale to grief for the mysterious abscenco of Don Alvar, and llmfconviq tiun look from him all the pity of her suffering*. -It chanced to bo the festival of Santa Isabella, and fo da honor to her patron saint, us well us to celebrate the return of her husband, Isabella pul on her wedding dress, and seating herself by an open overlooked the Alcazar gardens, she watched for : his coming. But Whilst her eyes were vainly fixed upon the path by which she expected him loappeor,* hand was laid uponjior shoulder, and turning round, she beheld Vesiile standing by her side. “I have order ed the supper to. bo laid in my study,” said he, and taking her band, he led her away to tho room in question, dismissed (he attendant, end closed the door. Every thing wore a festive air, yci the repast was| cheerless. PerceivinrajAhat she had tasted nothing,! Vesale poured a few drops from a viol of elixir into' a cup of Malaga wine, and presenting it to her, ho said, “ Drink lhis, It is a sovereign cure for the com plaint you arc suffering from.” 11 Pledge mo in the draught,” she replied, filling up a goblet from .the same flask, and handing it to him, “and itwill bring a quicker healing to trie. Let us drink to our absent friends, Andrea.” Vesale accepted tho offering and they emplcd their goblets together. V “ Talking of absent friends,”, said hoi'stftdcnly fixing his cyq upon her, “ you yql spoken to me of Don Alvar do Solis/. 'Arc ulljtopes of hoar* ing of him rclinguuhed ?” T’7 r ; " W- ' "V Isabella started andblushcd. “ Nothing ]« known of him,” she slamcrcd; “a strange mystery envel opes his disappearance.” j “ What if I should be able to clear it up,” replied her husband, “and tell you wherefore ho has peered, and whither he has gone.” " Don Alvar de Soils,” ho continued, “was a gsrt und a-liburtinc, and-boasted that no women cv* or resisted his seductions, that no husband over suspected the injury he was preparing for hfm."— Then grasping his wife by. the handi he led her up Jo the.door at the further end of tho rooni.and throw* ing it widu open, revealed to her view a human skeleton, suspended within, holding in one of its bo ny hods one of lief own embroidered gloves, “flchold,” ho said, pointing althc ghastly spectacle," the gallant and beautiful Doh Alvar do Solis—the object of your guilty love.. Contemplate him well, if the sight can render your last moments happier, for you aro.about to die too; the wino I have jupt given yoii was pois oned !” When iho last droadflil sonlchee, and its still more dreadful illustration, burst upon lier.aflrighli'd senses, sho became paralyzed with excess of emotion ; the scream, which had risen to her throat, died there In strangled murmurs, and sinking back, she fell ns one dead upon the arm ?f Vcsale. Sho was not dead; he had not poisened her; that crime ho had hesitated to commit, yet ho was not the less her murderer.— ' Convulsion followed convulsion, and, at last she died; and, In that supremo moment, Iho hour that preced ed death, her husband, who had never quitted her, boholdone of those phenomena which sometimes at tend Iho dying. Awakening from a torpid slumber, consciousness and memory returned «l once, and with (hum aoahn and a courage sho find never 'pos sessed in the flush of Jlfo. “Andrea,"snidsho, flalno her. dim eyeaumm W husband, “I am flVlnir by your hand, yet lam Innocent; I never wronged «-oii in thought or in deed, Don Alvar pursued mo with his lovo and Ms throats, but I repulsed him. 1 rover i loved but you!

Vnsnle, sinking upon his knees, sblomnlv protested his faith in the innocence of his wife, and with cho king sobs, adjured her to believe that ho. had only feigned to give her poison ; that ho could not nerve his hand to take away her.life; that the terror of death, and not death itself, was upon*hpr! “Thanks bo to Heaven for Ibis!” and drawingVbU hand to wards her,-{aid it upon her heart and aVtiho did so, It ceased to beat.

Once they adjourned to a Sabbath eve. ning, Tho time came, aiid the ambassadors collect ed; but the American minister was missing.

But Iho Amo. nottlf Ambassador did not attend. Tho nox.t mooting was on a week day evening; and tho American was in his place.

Ho was horn in the country settled by Puritans, of Puritan parents, who regarded the Sabbath as a divine ordinance, He had witnessed the gljod influence of Us religious observance in tho greater intelligence, the pure morals, tho energy, on* terprlse, and orderly habits of his countrymen.

As my feelings were thus divided between the beauties and blessings of the two worlds, and wrapt In a sort of poetical devo tion, I delected some glances at mo of an animated character. I need not describe the sensations experienced by a youth when the eyes of a beautiful woman rest for a length oflhno upon his countenance, and when ho imagines himself to bo an object of interest to Iter.

The Ohio legislature happened to bo in session when the orcst-fuHon ox*Vico President Durr iriudo bis ex* traordinary advent in tho fertile but sparsely popula ted Ohio valley. Gov.

From the Columbus (Ohio) Statesman. The Charge of Federalism against Gen* Cass while In OM6' withdrawn and transferred, to ituotlier State, Ac.) &c« • The charge has been rung throughput the length, and breadth of the land, that Gen. Oass, whilp a idenl of Muskingum county, in this SUae,wai‘* federalist, and acted and voted with (he federal party* Among others who preferred this charge, was'the Zanesville Courier. As that paper was printed in the county where tho acta which identified Gen. Cast, with the federal party were said to have been com* milled, we challenged the truth of the charge, and referred to gentlemen still living In Muskingum; county, whose democracy was never questioned, who knew Gen. Cuss well, ami who voted for him as (ho democratic candidate for a sent in the legislation of Ohio, as proof of (he falsity of the charge. The Cou*. ricr now admits the charge, as far as it relays to Muskingum county, to be false, by saying that Gen.. Cass was a federalist when he lived in the State of Delaware, and before lie emigrated to Ohio. By a biographical sketch, published in our paper, of yesterday, it will be scon that Lcwib Cass emigrs* ted to Ohio when but eeventeen year* of age— lour years before he was a volei*—four years before, in hw, he was deemed to have arrived at tho years of discretion—and four years before hc£ould,in law, transact 7 business for himself, without his father’s consent. . Ever* then, if (he charge be true that Gen. Cuss at one time was a fedora list, it was when he was a minor, living in the family of his father, who, to the duy of his death, continued a high-minded though bitter federalist, nnd was proud of the napie. Of all, the family, Lewis Cuss alone broke from fed*, oral leading-strings; and.ins course In Ohio and In Michigan, before the time*he became a voter to the present day, has been that of a democrat of the strait est seel. . Hurd run, indeed* must whiggery be, when it is forced to go back fur' near half u century for (ho pur*, purpose of making n charge (and that, too, unsui tained by,any evidence) to prove'that when a boy, scarce in his teens, Lewis Cuss.held to the principles of Ilia father’s family. The charge, however,' is not sustained by proof—* The name of tho State only is given—no other time, place, or circumstance is named to give it force; end upon (Ilia reckless assertion, wliigery hopes to work an injury to a man who for the last forty-six yearly has been known to the people of Ohio as a democrat staunch and (rue. Although, in law, it is a principle, that n negative cannot bo porven ; yet, in this ease* it cart almost be done. Mr. Jefferson never appointed his' political enemies tn high cilice, yet wo find that the first gov/ ernment office that Gen. Cuss received (thatofmar slial of Ohio) came from Mr. Jefferson. •. . tt Thu last war with England drew the line between the federal and as strongly and as broadly ns (lie present war with Mexico draws it now. General Cuss was then marshal of the State; The office was a lucrative one, yet he promply . re*, signed it, for the purpose of volunteering his service* to defend his country. Huw ho performed his part, the history of the country furnishes abundant evi dence. in the political campaign of 1628, one of the seve* rest charges made against General Jackspn, save, those of murder, &c., &c., preferred in the infamous coffin bond bill, was that ho too was a This cliurgo r wuB denied nod proven false; end In the discussion which ensued, the charge of federalism was planted so firmly upon the party llml now call themselves, wings, that, in spite of all Iholr.elforte to, shake it off, it still remains, and will remain, until* with a new name, they adopt now principles. , The same gumo lried in 1838 with Anurew Jack' son, the sumo parly now attempt to play off against Lewis Cuss. Iloth charges were .false and Inb.re suit in each ease will be the same. Tho father of Gen. Cass was a federalist brothers of Gen. Cass still hold to tho dpotrinca of their father. Upon this foundation, the charge qf. federalism is made on tho dotnqcrulio candidate.. To the day of his death, Major Jonathan fyass, the. father of the democratic nominee, true to hU federal principles,acted and voted with tho party now calling thcmaulvea whigs; and since his death the brothers, of Lewis Cush have been bold, Imminent, and Influ ential whigs; and a lute number of the Zanesville,. Courier makes open boast that they will not vote for Lewis Cass for President. Does not the Courier sec that this boast plants federalism upon Its own, party 7 ,Fur if Lewis Cas4 entertained federal sentiments, his relatives In.Mua*, kingum county would bo among Ids warmest sup* porters. .Out Lewis Cassis a democrat—they art, federalists,-opd they .will do.now, as they did when (lie democratic candidate for President was tho can: didato of the democracy for,.representative In Mus* ingum .vote against him. t Like os was the cose in 1828, when , the attempt,, was made by whlgery, Ihon under a hew name, to, prove Gen. Jackson, a federalist, the result has been, but tho eliciting of additional proof to fasten (|io charge upon themselves.
