worth and professional requirements, will compare
favoraby with the most distinguished in our coun-
trv The medical faculty constitutes an anomaly
in this or any other country-all Of them are lec-
turers and the best of teachers.
Those who will contemplate our geographical
position and the extent of population, can have
no doubt as to the eligibility of our situation for
an enterprise of the kind. AS to the health, in
cludng all seasons Of the year, we deny that any
other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds OF many
students relative to the place of studying
those who intend practising among the diseases OF
the West and South should certainly educate
themselves at school whose Faculty are pract-
cally acquainted with those diseases. ..
That the public may be satisfied Of the Perma-
nency of this school, we feel it our duty to state
that the Trustees and Faculty form unit in
action, which augurs well for its future success;
and that the peculiar internal organization which
connects them cannot be interrupted.

HoI R O CALIFORNIA;!

Or Wednesday morning last, our citizens
were suddenly enlivened by the unexpected
arrival amongst them of Messrs. Walter
Crow, James McPike, Heath Jones, -
Jones, and Carson Wright, emigrants from
this county last Spring to California. We
know not when we have seen a meeting so
universally agreeable to 50 large an assem-
blage. Every eye and every countenance
were frightened and lighted tip with smiles.
The greetings were cordial and feeling
Then came the natural inquiries:-How
did you like7 Was it sickly? How much
gold did you get? &C., &C., until all was
learned. The replies to these were receit-
ed with eagerness and profound attention
by the adventures in expectancy. The
hopes of some seemed buoyed up, whilst
others were somewhat depressed by what
they learned. The news received by them
we sum up as follows: The amount Of gold
in California, heretofore represented cor
rec,ly-the amount Of labor to get it, slight
ly-the amount of sickness underrated-
The returned emigrants were willing tc
give no definite advice as to a trip the COM
ing Spring, leaving all to their own judg'
ment. They were most Of them success
full in making money, but not in gettingIich
They tarried a few moments, and departed
for their various homes, where-but We
will not intrude upon the meeting there.
