.aea a cousid.3rable rise in our Rivers, and from present

water. It will be seen that there is now thirty-one
iachets, and it is still swelling. Several boats that have
eetilayiug up during the low water. have their bills
%imam- departure, and many others will no doubt take
advantage of thO rise, and resume their trips. Our
- full . business is just opening-, and a full resumption of
navigation is very desirable. There is an abundance

Ridri , LNISCENCES OF THE FRENCH WAR.
• :: Among the few revolutionary veterans yet left with
us, and who brushed themselves up for an excursion to
Banker Hill, is Mr. Daniel Adams, of Newberry, who
*aids duts , at West Point, at the time of Arnold's
treason. This veteran is now 83 years of age, and ire
' gtiently calls at our office fur his paper, coming up the
•two Teta of stairs with sounder lungs than many of
our young men Mr. Adams is in full possession of
all his faculties, and has a memory unusually retentive.
lie relates a story concerning Braddock's fate in the
old French war, whi 1; he obtained from one of his
associates, on whose v erecity he assur es us implicit •
• reliance was placed by all who knew him:
• . It will be recollected by many that Governor Everett
in some of his rerwarches, obtained information which
led him to suppose that. Braddock was killed by his
ownnnon. This is fully confirmed by the statement
of Mr. Adams, which he derived from Insley of New
. hwy.: 'The French General, Dieskau, who defeated
Braddock was defeated the next year by Sir William
-- Johnson: and Insley, being a soldierunderJohnson at
r • one time, became acquainted with a man who was with
Braddock, and who was standing by when that General
fell. He stated that the principal officershad previous
- lyadvised a retreat, which the General would not listen
• to; and after nearly all the principal officers had been
killed, &captain approached the General and renewed
the advice for a retreat;—whereupon Braddock imme
diately shot down the captain. The captain had a
brother who was a lieutenant; and was standing near
at the time, and who upou seeing his brether rais
on:as carbine and s'aut Braddock. Several of the sol
i diers saw the whole of this scene, bat th-y said nothing
.
'concerning it, as a word from them would have sealed
the fate of the lieutenant. Braddock wore a coat of
mail in front which would turn a musket bull, and the
'ball which proved fatal to him, entered his back and
was stopped in front of his body by this coat of mai!.
Capt. Insley, from whom Mr. Adams had this a ;!tuarit,
;w1.3 with Goa. Johnson in the French war, ncd after
; tya,rdS drove a meal wagoa in this town, which he re
- diaquidiel to Mr. Adann in 1760. ILe was captain
of the far fam al Silver Grays, which were raised in
this town. A brother of his was one of the most die
tiuguishad oTicers of the revolutionary war, arid urn one
!occasion led out a forlorn h whirl; after its depar
tare was recalled by the carnal:lndia , * general, Oho on

EXCISION OF A WEN, WITHOUT PAIN, IN
THE MES3IERIC STATE.
This operation was performed by Doctor Benjamin
F. Edwards, at his residence in this city, ou Tuesday
: - Inorning . lait, in the presence of a number of spectators.
iThe pauent is a young lady about 13 years of age, the
ilangker of Mr. Lyres, of Upper Alton. The
wen was situated upon the left side of her facet the
base -of it was one inch and seven-eighths in length
y one inch and five-eighths in width; the upper part
of it being just opposite and near the opening of the
•-- cat. It commenced firming when she was about
two and has been gradually inereasing.—
Se'ieral months sitter., site applied to Dr. Edwards for

foiMOtlher that if he could succeed in nlacint , her in a
mesmeric state, he could remove the wen without pain.
A few subsequent experiments convinced the Doc
tor that. Misc E. was susceptible of the mesmeric in
fluence ton degree sufficient to warrant Lim to attempt
its removal in this state, of which she was accordingly
informed. Circumstances, however, prevented her at
• that time frum submitting to the operation, and for
soalemonths past site has been residing at Springfield.
Ifni great desire to ;pave the wen removed, and from
• the factthat it wartecoming painful, induced her to
return for the purpose of haying- it taken out. The
, patient had been considerably agitated during the
morning. She was seated in a room in 'which there
Were a' number of gentlemen, most of whom were swan

ric infinence in about five minutes. After ascertaining
that she was in a profound sleep, an incision was

mor was removed.
Althouth the operation was necessarily prolonged
to near fifteen minutes—the Doctor not beina. able to
use freely but one hand, as it was necessary for him to
act. et the same time in the double capacity of mesme
rizer and operator—yet the pati mt sat with the hand:
quietly resting in the lap, the countenance was placid
lustiserese, and the whole attitude that of repose; not

Mesmeric sleep just one hour. Previous to waking
her, the Doctor excited the organs of tune and of'
mirthfalness, to both of which rest:oases were obtained,
'She was also put in communication with Mr. G.,
when, she immediately recognized, and in answer to
his question whether she had felt any pain from the
operation, replied that she had riot.
As soon as she was awakened site placed her hand
illkon the bandages and asked, "What is this?" The
Doctor, fearing that she might disturb them, immedi
: .ately removed her hand and replied,. "Lhave taken out
your wen." She looked about in perfect astonishment,

"Yes," replied the Doctor, "you know that I told you
wouldl take it out without your feeling it!" "I know
thaiyou told me you could," she laughingly replied,
"hot Idid not believe it." She appeared to have no
remembrance of any thing that hatl taken place. It

Numerous cases of surgical operations without pain,
in the mesmeric state, have been reported in England;
lovers!, also, have been reported in this country, but
this is believed to be the first that has been performed
West of the Alleghenies.

removed and Cured by the II EP ATIC
This article has the most astonishing effects in curing
all complaints of the stomach and digestive organs.--,
Many highly respectable individuals in New York
have been cured, after trying every other remedy in
vain, and have given in theirmunes with perthission to
refer to them. It is pleasant to the taste, and does
nut in-the least interfere with the daily avocation of one
taking it. Many families of this city have become so
pleased with the medicine, that they use it as their
only family medicine. By using it occasionally, it
keeps the stomach free from bilious disorders, and the
liver active, with the secretions of the body in the most
perfect activity. It is COMpll,4l`a entirely of vegetables.
The cure will be gradual, but eertain and permanent.

the consideration of my fellow-citizens for the office of
County Commissioner. That my sentiments may not
be misunderstood, either as to political or private
affairs, I make five to say that I have been all my life
a consistent Repuldiean, in the trite sense of the word.
As the country is somewhat embarrassed in its finan
cial affairs, and the reduction of salaries of public
officers has received the approbation of large majori
ties of the pc,iple, the undersigned would not should
he be so fortunate as to be elected; in any manner at
tempt to resist this salutary reform; should it reach
the office of County Commissioner.

of your suffrages, I shall endeavor by strict attention
to the duties of the office, to satisfy you with your
