yj brother Brownlow of the Jonesbo
0Uih (Tenn.) Whig, could not resist the temp
1 0f being in Washington to witness the
InaljraMon of Gen. Taylor, and while there
l,e busied himself in sewing sights which he
coiniiiiintcaied by letter to the readers of his
tn;cy Journal. His impressions of men and
limners are decidedly original, and his descrip
(is are rtch in the extreme. A letter from
k:m under dale of March 2, is before u?, from
ffliicli wo make a few extracts :
1 have a seat in the House, as a nepnrter,
jih arcc pass, signed by Speaker Winthrop.
nJ since 11 's understood that 1 am not one
ofihe fiftv and large odd thousands of creeping
src(njiaiwic, and unfortunate olfice-seekers,
ai l) which ihe city ahounds, I am regarded as
,jier a clever son oi a man man omeiwise.
"1 have been present during the discussion
ofihe Territorial question, or the proposition to
sduiii California and New Mexico into the Uni
on as a State, or as S'ates, in bo'h the House
and Senate. I witnessed discussions in these
Houses in 1832. and again in 1844, and I am
jarrv to say that the-tendency of men and man
ner?, is downward. Especially is this the cae
pfhe Senate, more so in the Senate than in
liie House. Great confuion prevails in both.
ffh!.e that order and dignified deportment which j
characterized these bodies in the better days
(,f;he Republic, are numbered with the years
bfvnrul the flood. The Senate is the moM
contemptible looking body of the two. There
2re hit few fine and imposing looking men in
ihe Senate. Benton, Badger, Bell, Maugum,
rderwonJ, Webster, Calhoon, Upham, Phelps
Me'calf, Johnson, and a few others, look like
Senators, and will command respect. Most of
ihe remaining Senators are young looking men,
in a great degree inexperienced, and of disgus
ting inein and little carriage. Many of therci
are unJer size, and in their manners foolish.
Dolas of Illinois, weighs 100 pounds, and
wear dirty clothes."
in grandeur, any thing yel named, wa3 an at
tark upon Fickljn, of Illinois, ajjjPpco, by two
oiher Locos, Johnson, of Arkansas, and Inge,
of Alabama. The former struck Ficklin with
his fist, and the (alter knocked him down with
a cane. After removing Ficklin beyond the''
Bar, and washing the blood oft of him, the par
no all returned and proceeded to business
One moved an adjournment, as the session had
expired by limitation. Old Pettit, of Indianna,
a Locofoco infidel," who was educated for the
Ministry, mored "and adjournment of this town
meeting, declaring the session to be nothing
more. A third moved " for the despersion of
this mob while another called out from his
seat for "more Whiskey. " To this, another
fellow replied, that it was contrary to rule to
onng tne article within the Bar, but just out
side, in an adjoining room, there was lots.
Well, all in all I never witnessed such a scene."
Milfard Fillmore is lhePhiladelphia
"The most remarkable man in the House, is
Horace Greeley a New York Editor. He

ge-Mcula'ions common to public speakers. He

I -a constant but simple smite plays upon his
court-nance. "
"President Polk is 20 years older in appear-
snce than when lie last canvassed for the office
of Governor in Tennessee."
"Cave Johnson looks grey, old, dry and fee
!e, and a stranger would suppose had seen
I't'-erdays. Amos Kendall looks lean and
ki.k, stoop shouldered and like the latter end
an ill-spent life. Old Marcy looms up as

I li.e-1 looking man in the Whig ranks, and
peaker Winthrop is next best in appearance.
r. Calhoon is sinking fast, under the weight

"A rery large party of gentleman and ladies
ned with Mr. Polk yesterday, upon a special
iwta'ion among whom were OJd Zack, Gen.
'"s, Col. Bell, and Mr. Marcy, Fillmore and
''tars. Gen. Taylor was as familiar and play

JXIPA writer in the Horticulturist says
"Wishing to stimulate a couple of old peartrees
Which stood among others? in my garden, I di
rected my gardener to place around each tree
a couple of barrnwstful of fresh horse manure
from the stable. This was accordingly laid on
the surface of the ground, and as work was
rather pressing at the time it was suffered though
rather strong in ammonia to lie thus for a fort
night. 1 think it was put about the trees just as
the fruit began to swell, and before it became as
large as peas. The result was that those two
trees bore a good crop of fruit, while every other
plum tree in my garden was stung by curculio and
dropped all their fruit. There were no punctures,
or scarcely any, to be found on the fruit of two
trees."
Mr. Downing adds, in noticing the above, " that
upon a couple of large nectarine trees growing di
rectly against a fence which shuts in our stable
yard, not a single fruit was punctured by the cur
culio, though other nectarine trees sixty or eighty
feet distant did not escape." The inference
naturally to be drawn from these facts is, that
fumes of the fresh stable munure repelled the cur
culio. A very similar instance was realted to us not
long ago by a gentleman of this city, an ob
serving amateur fruit grower. It appeared that
some of his servants made a practice for a con
siderable length of time of depositing human urine,
daily, near an old plum tree that had lost its en-
tire crop for many years past from the punctures
oi me curcuno. ijasi season, however, it uore a
full crop, suffering slightly, if at all, from the cur
culio. The gentleman said he could trace it to
no other cause" than to ammonia from the urine,
that circulated in the atmosphere around the tree.
Here are three accidental cases confirming the
supposition that the ammoniacal vapor ascending
from the fresh stable manure and the urine is re
ally so offensive to the curculio as to repel it en
tirely. This is a matter deserving of investiga
tion by further experiments.
Great Surgical Operation. Prof. Wash
ingion L. Ailee, of the new Pennsylvania Col
lege of Medicine, performed an operation on
Thursday, the I5ih ult. which- stamps him as
one of the ablest Sergeons of the day. The
f 1 a t
operation was periormea in the presence oi
several eminent physicians. The turner, con
sisting of the right ovary, was of a solid, fib
rous structure, and immovably attached to the
bones of the pelvis. It weighed S lbs and
measured around its largest circumference 2
feet 3 inches, its smallest 23 inches, being the
largest fibrous tumor ever removed by this op
eration. The incision through the walls of
tho abdomen, necessary lo remove it, was 15
inches in length. The patient, aged 29 years,
a married lady, and a mother of four children,
is now considered out of danger, no symptom
having occurred to interfere with her rapid re
covery. A mixiure oi chloroform and ether
was used to an extent to destroy the sensaiion
of pain, but not consciousness. This is tho
fir-st time this operation has been performed in
SHERIFF'S SAFE.

the chyle, and thus depriving the blood of the
nourishment that feeds its inflammation. I he va

Mrs. Ann Seymour, of Troy, permits us to
state, that being far advanced in the first stage of
the Typhus r ever, she had recourse to L-Itckener s

expelled every symptom of the disease in a week.
She adds that they are the only medicine she could
