Editor of the Brltiah Spy l Tbe distinguished notice yon have taken of the Rev. James Waddell, of Virginia, in the character of the " Blind Preacher," has induced me to give you some account of an event unnoticed by yon, and which forms an era in his life. I refer to tbe res toration of bis sight. I do this with less reserve, since it is generally understood that the " British Spy" bad been long a warm friend of the subject of this notice; and tbat his removal from the vicinity of the " Blind Preacher," in whose hospita ble mansion he had received many and warm greetings, bad left him uninformed of the event to which t have alluded, and of the circumstances which I propose to detail. You bave described him as blind, and, while occupying the rude enclosure of a forest pulpit, addressing an unseen multitude in strains of eloquence which might captivate cities and win tbe admira tion of grave senates. The incidents to which I refer were more private ; in his own hottse', and ih tbe midst of his family. For eight years, be bad been blind a stranger equally to the cheerful light of day and the cheering faces of kindred and friends. Ii will readily be supposed, that in this lapse of time great changes bad taken place. The infant bad left the knee to rove amid the fields ; the youth had started into manhood, and, bidding adieu to the haunts of bis childhood, bad gone forth to act for himself upon the theatre of life; with the hope, indeed, of again and again looking upon his venerable fath er, but without hope of that father's ever looking upon bim. A calm and patient resignation had settled over the mind of this man of God, as a summer s cloud settles over tho borixon of evening. Peaceful, hopeful, and reclining upon tbe bosom of Leaven, every painful solicitude about himself bad fled away. This per sonal peace and Christian iubmission were COUNTY,; PENN., FRIDAY, DEC. 1, 1851. calculated, however, to concentrate bis re - flections and solicitudes open tbe destinies of bis family, here and hereafter. His eye could not now see for them ; but be had a heart to invoke the watchfuluess of an eye that neither slumbers nor sleeps ; tbat neither grows dim with age nor infir mity. His palsied hand could guide them I no longer, but patriarchal couusel was freely given, and enforced by the tremen dous realities of a future existence. The thread to be followed through the laby rinth of life, it was taught, had its fasten ings in eternity ; time and all sublunary things should be viewed in the light of eternity. Bat, although the mental vision was acute and wisely circumspect, the dark curtain still hung over tbe organs of sight, and seemed to rise no more. And what if it should be otherwise? that hope of sight should take the place of res ignation to blindness? and, more tiian this, that hope should be turned into fruition ? that, after the darkness of eight years, be should be presented with a broad daylight view of every thing around him ? And this, I assure yon, was almost & fact ; for, after an operation for cataract, which, in the progress of years, had rendered light sensible, and then objects faintly visible, a strong and well constructed convex lens, procured by the kindness of a distant friend, enabled him to sec with considera ble distinctness.

And now, the venerable man, arising from his seat and grasping a long staff which lay convenient to bim, bad proceed ed but a short distance, when the staff itself seemed powerfully, but momentarily, to engage bis attention ; it bad been the com panion of his days, the pioneer of his do mestic travels, and the supporter of a weak and tottering frame. lie next proceeded to tne front door, to take a view of the mountains ; the beauti ful south-west range stretching out in love ly prospect, at the distance of about three miles.

Indeed, this mountain scenery ever after continued to delight my unsatisfied vision : whether my attention had not be fore this been carefully drawn to its beau ties, or that the suggestive faculty, linking the prospect with the sympathetic pleas ures previously enjoyed, had thrown around me a pleasing delusion, I am nnable to decide..
