States, are believed to contain the richest mines Of
lead that have yet been discovered; d ofe YIELD
Ing about eighty per cent. Of pure meta. Copper

quantities. ... ...
Great advantages are said to exist for he manu-
facture Of lead IN various forms, paTticu aTly into
shot, the river banks being elevated require
little or no expense in the erection of towers; and
the ore, from lis great purity, may be manufactured
into shot by the first smelling.
The location Of these mines being near the Mis-.
sissipp river, affords great facilities of Transporter
on the average cost Of which TO 81. Louis ID about
fifteen cents per hundred pounds. Tire soil is rep
resented being unusually fertile, producing all the
small grains in great abundance, and furnishing ex-
eeent range for cattle--thus presenting equal In
dueemeDts TO the agricuturlst and the miner.
The DUBUQUE mines IN fractional townships egh-
y-eght, eighty-nine, and ninety, Of range two east
situated on the banks of the Mississippi, consd-
cred the most important the DURANGO mines in

MEDICAL. DEPARTMENT.

The plan Of instruction in this department Of the
University, presents pecullarites to be found in no
other school Of medicine in the Union. The lee
tures commence the LIST of October and terminate
on the 18th of June.
Owing to the length Of the session, which EN-.
braces period of nine months, three professors are
enabled to perform all the duties which in other med
zeal institutions usually assigned to six; and the
students seldom required to attend more than
two lectures on the same day. By this arrange
ment the students have an opportunity of being
well grounded in Anatomy, Physiology, and Other
elementary branches Of medical science before they
investigate their applications in connexion with the
study Of the practice Of Medicine and Surgery.
Immediately before each lecture, the students are
subjected TO full and rigid examination on the pre-
ceding lecture, or on portions Of approved text
books. Ii is apparent that the plan, Of which the
outlines have been briefly stated is one which allows
the student to commence az well as TO complete his
medical studies in the institution, and presents
happy combination of the advantages Of the system
of insructon, by private pupiage and that OF public
lectures.
Any person Of approved moral conduct may offer
a candidate, and receive the degree of M D.,
without reference to the time he has been engaged
in the study Of medicine, or of joining the school,
provided he undergoes, in a satisfactory manner,
the various examinations prescribed by the enact
ments. The professors are:
Robert E. Rogers, M d., Professor of Chems-
try, Pharmacy, and Materia Medica.
Henry Howard, M. D., Professor Of Pathology
and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, and Medical
Jurisprudence.
James l.. Cabell, M. D., Professor of Anatomy,
Physiology, and Surgery.
John Stage Davis, M. D., Demonstration of Anat
omy.

ITO the holders of Virginia Military

l. Land Warrants.-CongTess having, by an
act approved 18th July last, extended the time for
locating continental land warrants, in the Virginia
military district, Ohio, and for returning surveys
thereon to this Office, until the first day Of January
l94S, notice is hereby given, that the holders Of
such warrants can now locate the same in the said
district
From report made TO this Office by the surveyor
of the military district in Ohio, it appears that the
quantity ofand yet remaining to be located is about
5000 acres, lying principally in Scoto, Pike, and
Adams counties.
As the time for locating, and the quantity to be
located are limited, and as Congress has made no
provision to satisfy warrants of this character in
scrip, holders will perceive that if the present op.
portunity of locating their warrants be lost another
may not offer. JAMES II. PIPER,
