D5-It seems from the following, that there
are at least "a tew'' locofocos who are not
friends of Gen. Lane for the Presidency.
In concluding an article headed Indiana"
in the New Y ork Tribune, the editor remarks,
BY the way, the Sentinel, at Indianapolis
intimates that Gen. Lane was attacked in
The Tribune because of this nomination.-AI
the structure on Gen, Lane that have ap-
peared in The Tribune we're written by Lo-
colocos and Polk oficeholders, but men Of
character and Responsibility nevertheless, who
had no more suspicion that Lane would be
started for President than we have that he
will be elected"

Burning OF the Picayune Osfice.

From the N. o. Delta OF the 10th inst. we
clip the following in relation to the burning of
the Picayune office Further particulars of
the fire will be given tomorrow:
1.-THE fire At last reached the large and val
liable building belonging to the P:cayune and
soon that whole costly and complete estab-
lshment was destroyed. Weare happy TO
say, however, that severe as is the loss of our
contemporaries they saved the type in their
lcompositon room-all the books i'll their coun-
ting room but lost their fine double cylinder
press, aud their extensive job office The
small press with which they WORKED off their
daily edition, was nearly rescued when the
wall fell upon and greatly injured it. With
characteristic energy, the proprietors soon
got all that was saved from their establish
ment into store. opposite their late building,
OH Bank Place, and have gone actively to
work to set things in order, so as to prevent
any interruption of their Publication. The
form of this mornings paper was saved, and
their edition was published as usual. The
property des royed in this office must have
been immense, though we learn it was all
fully covered by insurance. The Picayune
office extended from Camp street to Bank
Place, and the whole building was consum-
led"

NTobbing at St. Louis.

From our st. Louis exchanges we learn
that the REV. Leahey," who styles himself
a "Monk of La Trappe," has been mobbed,
and refused permission thus, to deliver his
infamous lectures. This Leahey has been
travelling around the country delivering lee
lures to get up an excitement against the
Catholic religion. These lectures are filed
with the most loathsome and disgusting reci-
tails, which on their very face are false, and
that are pronounced false by the lives: habits
and beliefs, ofthose Catholics to be found in
every community. We believe in extending
the liberty of speech to every man, so far q;
it can be extended with decency and safety
but although opposing mobs of every ma
ture, nothing we think better justifes one
than the desire to rid a community Of a man
whom the law cannot touch, yet who is seek
ing to iniure the religion and insult the feel
ings of its respectable followers, and to pro
duce an agita ton of the very worst charac-
ter. The lectures of this Leahey are said tc
be OF the most obscene nature, so much sc
that ladies are not invited nor expected to at
tend--yet they profess to be the confessions
of a monk who has left the Catholics, and who
pretends to give an expose of what, were
they true, would be Ubiquitous beyond the con-
cepton of man, yet which he would make us
believe are common with the Catholics. We
hope thai everywhere lie attempts to give
these disgusting lectures, he may be received
with at least the feeling if not the action thai
marked his reception at st. Louis.

Memphis Institute.

We are pleased to learn that the Memphis
Institute, an advertisement of which may be
found in another column, has already gained
the confidence of the citizens among whom
tits founded. The City Council of Mem
phis recently gave the College the buildings
formerly occupied by the other school, and
valued at $4,000. and also $4,000 to purch Sc
the Library and Chemical apparatus. This
shows iberality that might well be imitat-
ed in more limited maner. by the citizens
of Evansville. The Memphis Institute start
ed about the same time with the Evansville
Medical College, and is now closing its first
session. Connected witt it is Law Depart
ment, under able Professors. The Faculties
from their intellectual abilities and professions
al requirements, have succeeded in making
such Il favorable impression upon the Memphis
people, that they have now obtained the only
assistance required to permanently found the
Institution. We hope to see our citizens il
like manner, show that similar good impress
sisn has been made upon them, by the labor
of the Faculty Of the College in this city.

Evansville Medical College.
At meeting Of the Medical Glass. held in
the College Hall, on motion, the following
gentlemen were appointed Il committee to-
draft resc buttons expressive OF the sentiments
of the Class. in relation to the course of lee
lures now about to terminate, to-wit: Messrs.
Higgins. Thomas, Potion. Baird, and Ora
ham, which committee, after retiring a few
minutes, reported, through their Chairman,
the following preamble and resolutions, which
were adopted:
PREAM BLE.
We. the students of the Evansville Medi-
cal College, feeling ourselves under many
obligations to the Professors for the able and
satisfactory manner in which they have illus
trated the different branches pertaining to
the science of medicine, and for their united
and successful efforts to make our soiourn in
this city agreeable, as well as profitable deem
it but an act of justice give publicity to this
expression of the high esteem we entertain
for their ability therefore,
ResolDed, That in point of talent, and he
facilities for cuItivating the science of medi-
cine embraced by the Faculty our highest
expectations have been fully realized.
Resolred, That the Faculty have fully re-
deemed their pledge made in their announce
ment in relation to the nature and treatment
of diseases peculiar to this climate and locali-
ty, thereby supplying, to some extent, the de-
iciency in the education of medical men for
the West and South, so deeply lelt,and SO
generally acknowledged by the practitioners,
thus making the instructions an important
desideratum to the student who intends max
ling the Mississippi valley the field of his pro-
Ifessonal labors.
E2esolred, That inasmuch as some of US
have attended the lectures of some of the
most popular Medical Colleges in the United
States, we are convinced that from the supe-
rior apparatus for illustrating the different
branches together with the efficient manner
of teaching adopted by the Professors, this
school is second to none in the advantages
which it offers to the student.
Resolued, That we cheerfully recommend
the Medical College of Evansville to all stu
dents who are DESTROYS of obtaining a thorough
medical educate and who intend practicing
in the West and South.
Resolved, That we request the Faculty Of
the College to publish Medical Journal, fol
the purpose, in part, gilmore fully Calculating
the influence of our climate in causing or mod
flying disease.
Resolued, That we return our sincere graft
tude to the citizens of Evansville-and par
tcularly the ladies and families of the Pro
fessors-for the friendly manner in whicl
they have been pleased to greet US.
Resolved, That each member of this Clas
shall make it a point to return at an earl,
day ofnext November, in order to attend tn
next course of Lectures.
ResoIUed, That these resolutions be pub
lished in the3 Evansville Journal, and the AID
vertiser, and that the Dean Of the Faculty b
} requested to have them inserted in the Gaia
logue of I849-'50, and in the Circular for tn
Iensuing season.
