Resolutions were introduced into the
house to-day, asserting the correctness of
the views hitherto expressed ly the Ver
mont legislature on the subject of slavery,
and refusing to assert in any way the ex
tension o the slaveholding power. They
also urge on Congress the abolition of
slavery in the District of Columbia, and
maintain that the writ of habeas corpus and
trial by jury cannot be denied. They
also instruct their senators and representa
tives to act according to the spirit of these
resolves. A fter some little debate the res
olutions were laid on the table.
The President has Usue-d a Proclama
tion, warning nil persons from connecting
themselves with expeditions from this
country for the invasion of t lie Mexican
Uepublic; intelligence having been receiv
ed from the Consul at Matamoros, that a
company of Texans had been organized
for that purpose, and that similar move
ments were in progress.
Senator Seward has become bound on
the bail bonds of all the Syracuse rioters,
negroes and whites.
Kossuth, the great Hungarian patriot,
has written a lung and eloquent address to
the people of this country. We find it
published in many of the papers. It is too
lengthy for our columns, unless divided
into small portions, and we do not admire
that plan. Suffice it to say that he dwells
upon the history of the past, and the mis
fortunes ol his unhappy country, with great
power. The treason of lieorgy is de
nounced in terms of glowing eloquence,
anil the whole address is replete with feel
ins and enthusiasm.

not to be so viulent or fatal in the former

COLD V Airlift AND DUllNS.
When about i5 y;c of age, a woman
told me iT 1 ever gut burned tu plunge the
part into cold water. " Since that time I
have frequently been benefitted by her
ad vice. -When burned with a hot iron I
at tnce imtoffse the burned part in cold
water. A few days since, when forging
a aim a 11 article, I cut a small piece front
its end, while red hot, and by mistake,
when looking in a contrary Jiii cu .u, I '
took hold of the anvil cutter with my riht
hand thumb and linger when the filial I
piece of iron i had cut oil stuck to the end '
of leKfU',,ish)6.1iCtfm ai-onee ;
dipped my ha infill w ater ami rVJ ft there "
for about one minute, after whirS'i I dipped "
it in spirits ol turpentine and put on a
cloth ; no blister arose, nor was it sore.
I believe that cold tvater prevents the
heat from penetrating into the system, and
if it were possible for a person to be sent
ten feet through boiling water into cohl,
as fast as a bullet travels from a rifle, not
a blister would be raised. Heat does not
travel faster than sound.
1 once went to a distant tihop lo con-
struct a steam gun, anil it so happened,
the third night allei-wards, the shop caught

tools in a trunk I b irst open the door
while the Haines wero rolling; high in the
room and the heat was so intense that I
was forced back to get breath, I again madt
the attempt and flashing throagh the flames
secured my trunk. When I came out, all
the garments 1 had on werte in flames, but
fortunately two men were about thirty
feet distant, with pails of water, to whom
I ran, and requested them " to throw their
water upon me ; this they did, and the
result was only a few blisters. If an at
tempt had been made to tear oft" my
clothes, I might have lot mv eyes and
perhaps my life. While relating this cir
cumstance to a man a short time since, he
said it reminded him of an incident whicU
took place recently over the mountain :
A mother left her little daughter in
the house to go some distance for two
pails of water, and before she got back
the little girl came running out of the houi
with her elolhes on fire. The mother
uroppeui ner pans wneti sue saw ner, ana
tried to pull off her clothes, and by so do-
ing ner own caugnt tire, and men fehe ran
back to her pails ol water. It was too
late for her daughter, who died from the
ijuetd, nd she herself suffered much.
Either of the pails of water, if used at
once, 1 believe, would have savetl the
child's life.
Incidents of this kind are not unfre
qucnt : some years iince a Member of
Congress, at Baltimore, was severely burn
ed, while trying to extinguished his wife's
clothes, and I believe he died. In Port
land, Maine, a Member of Congress burn
ed his hands so severely as to unfit him for
business, by endeavoring to extinguish the
Haines of the clothes old gwl. Not long
since a gentleman of some distinction, in
Boston, had his hands burned by a sitnilar
accidei.t- Now I believe that in ninety -nine
cases out of a hundred, there is waler
within thirty feet of persons whose clothes
take lire ('and sue h cases will always be
occurring), and if it was at once used. to
extinguish the lire, and to molify the parts
burned, it would prevent serious conse
quences, and believing this, is the reason
why I have nYade the above statements.
ELI AS II ALL.
SUIiGlCAL OPERATIONS.
Ve see it stated, in a recent number
of the Milton Chronicle, that the opera
tion of Lithotomy, or extracting stone
from the bladder has been successfully
performed at Itoxburough, by Doctors
Jourdau and Williamson; and the rapid
convalescence of the patient is sufficient
evidence that the operation was as skillful
ly pei formed ns'it could have been any
where at tiie North.
The editor of the Chronicle expresses
a very proper desire that the people of
the South should know that these ditlicult
surgical operations can be skillfully and
successfully performed at home, and
therefore that there is no necessity for
their going North, at great expense and
trouble, for surgical operations even of
the most critical character.
This notice in the Chronicle auggesls
to us the propriety of stating, that the
operaton of Lithotomy has been four times
performed by Dr. Strudwick of this place,
each time successfully. The last case is
a gentleman from below Raleigh, who is
now here, rapidly recovering.
Dr. Strudwick has also been very
successful in restoring sight to the blind
by operations for Cataract A case of
this kind is now under treatment in this
place. The subject is a gentleman from
Wake, and the operation is likely to ba
rfectly successlul.
pei
In various operations for Cancers, as
they affect both male at.d female, we
understand Dr. S. has met with a succes
rarely equalled either North or South.
These uwtices are made pro bono publi
co; and without any consultation with Dr.
S. We deem it due to the public that
cases of skillful surgery should be made
known, when performed by native phy
sicians, that suflering humanity may be
relieved in many cases, when applications
for relief could not be made to distant
operators, and that even those who have
the means may be saved unnecessary ex
pense. Hillsborough Recorder.
