BY LAST KIGHT'S MAIL.
Washington AfTaixs.
Wasaisoxbx, Oct. - 21. Final action was
taken yesterday, in the case of Dr. Werrell.
The Government, it is understood, disapproves
j of his conduct in striking his Consular flag
and coming home. His services will there
fore, be dispensed with in that capacity, and a
successor will shortly be appointed. Dela
ware, it seems, has a kind of prescriptive
right to the post.'
In the Orphan 's Court, yesterday, Mrs. Bo
disco and her brother, Brooke Williams, en
tered "bonds in the sum of one hundred thou
sand dollars, as administrators to the will of
Mr. Bodisco, the late Russian Minister, so far
as it relates to his personal estate. Judge
Purcell decided that the will only bearing his
signature, and not having been witnessed ac
according to the statute, is not sufficient to
pass the real estate, which, however, goes by
descent to the widow' and her children .All
the property in this country, it is supposed,
will amount to $300,000.
From what can be ascertained, nothing will
be done concerning the Governorship of Utah,
until the meeting of Congress. It is the opin
ion of those best conversant with attars in
Utah, that a strong military force will be ne
cessary. Later from : Texa3 Another Battle
.with the Indians.
N w Ohleaxs, Oct. 20. Col. Callahan had
had another fight with the Mexicans and' Indi
ans, during which the town of Piedras-Xegras
was burned. He is reported to have returned
to San Antonio for reinforcements.
It was also rumored that a large Iwdy of the
enemy had crossed to the Texas side of the
Rio Grande.
A meeting had been held at San Antonio,
aud a resolution adopted to raise 1000 men for
immediate service.
Conviction of a Murderer.
Ccmberland, Md., Oct. 21. Frederick
Miller, the author of the recent double mur
der, was yesterday placed upon tri al for the
murder of Dr. J. F. C. Hade!, and the Jury
have returned a verdict of murder in the first
degree. The testimony was conclusive with
regard to the murder of Henry Graf, also, and
he is to be tried for this on a separate indict
ment. The Otneiai iioturns.

this treatment STANDS PREEMINENT. .When
the auditory is dry and scaly, with little or no
secretion ; when the deafness is accompanied wito
noise, in the ear. like falling water, chirping ot
insects, ringing of bolls, rustling of leaves, contin
ual pulsations, and discharge cf matter, or when
in stooping, a se 8 ion is felt as if a rush cf blood
to tho head had taken plAe; when the- hearing
is I'jss accute in dull,' cloudy weather, or when

disease is infaJlilile.
Dr. Dufton is thoonly Occulist in the United
States who practices tbe new painless, and suc
cessful method in treating all tbe diseases to which
the eye is subject Where every other mean
have failed to afford 'relief, he asks from such
fair and impartial trial. ...
TESTIMONY. The undersigned practition
ers in medicine in the city of New York, having
had frequent occasion to witness the practice of
Drs. LcBrnnn and Dufton. in diseases of the Ear
and Eye. laying aside all professional jealousy,
freely admit, that tbe course pursued by them in
treating diseases of these delicate organs, from the
ttn paralleled success atieiuliutt it, is well worth the
attention of our professional brethren throughout
the United States, feeling assured as we do, that
Aural Surrcry has not met with that attention
which its importance demands. Their system of
treating; diseases of the middle and interua! Ear.
by Medical Vapors." particularly in chronic or
complicated cases, forms a new era in the practice
of Aural Surgery; such cases yielding in almost
every instance to this Mem and poirerfitl agent.
This practice fills up a void which has long been
felt by the general practitioner, enabling him te
cope tieeresfttlly with every cae where perfect
fonnation exists.
In diseases of the Eye. they seldom require te
resort to the operation.
As skillful Aurists and Oculists, enthusiastically
devoted to their profession, we cordially recom
mend them to such as may require their aid
