The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral
worth nd professional requirements, will compare
favorably 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 situation for
an enterprise of the kind. AS to the health, in
cluding 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 incidence
those who intend practising among the diseases OF
the West and South should certainly educate
themselves at a school whose Faculty are practi-
cay 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 it's future success;
and that the peculiar internal organization which
connects them cannot be interrupted.

from our Jefferson friends on account d.
the non reception Of our papers a, the reg
ular time. They are printed on Friday
evening, and put in the mail that night, and
consequently should arrive at Jefferson on
Saturday morning. Their failure has been
owing to the strange perverseness OF the
mail contractor, Mr. {. Allen, who refused
to carry them because they were put in
separate bag. We dislike very much to
make complaints, and would not do so,
were we no, liable TO be charged with neg
hpence; for we feel satisfied that the Post
master General will rcetify mistakes of this
character. |, is very dsagreeable, after a
week hard labor. to be treated in this way,
We will endeavor to adopt some plan to
remedy the evil, and if we cannot do so,
We shall make the cause Of the failure
known. A mail contractor is bound, by
law, to carry all tho mail When he fails
TO do it, his conduct creates confusion

hall door Of the House as Delegate from
New Mexico. At the same time that these
elections were made, an election for mem.
hers of the Legislature was also held This
body convened at the time appointed in the
constitution, and some curious scenes were
enacted. A is generally known, New
Mexico has been divided into two parties
one OF them advocating a territorial, the
other State Government A member al
the Senate, by the name Of Montaya, from
the country Of Santana. presented his creden.

out soon after that he might not he dispos.
ed to vote with the majority, and he was
excluded from his seat and one Of his OPP
,.,t,
upon six Senators and Representative,
withdrew, and left the Senate without a
quorum to do business. But this difficult,
was overcome in manner peculiar to New
Mexican legislation. The remaining mem
bcrs proceeded to Gil the places Of sutfi
