worth and professional requirements, will compare

try The medical faculty constitutes an anomaly
In this or any other country--al Of them are lee
turers and the best of teachers.
Those who will contemplate cur geographical
position and the extent of popnlation. can have
no doubt as to the eligibility of our situation for
an enterprise of the kind. AS to the health, in
cludng ali seasons Of the year,w deny that any
other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds OF many
suden.s relative to the place Of studying medicine;
those who intend practising among the diseases OF
the West and South should certainly educate
themselves at school whose aculty are practi-
cally acquainted with those diseases
That the public may be satisfied OF the perms-
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.

Some the Wing papers ofthe West fre-

preston oflhe N. England cotton interests.
On the contrary, many of the Eastern
papers express the very confident opinion
that they are not depressed at all, but are
prosperous. The Lowell Courier says:--
"The Hamilton print works are at present
extending their means by an addition to
their dye-house of building 81 by CT,
and adding machinery in other depart
ments, for printing 10000 yards more per
week-30, 900 Of which they expect to have
additional by the first of October next.

OREGON ITEMS.

The Oregon Spectator places the name
Of General Joseph Lane at its ssmast head"
as acandidate for delegate TO Congress.
The Spectator says Of the mining intel
ligence: A
IS General Lane reports favorably OF the
mines. He says that the most Of the mi
ners. by proper exertion, can make from
six TO twelve dollars per day There are
some instances where men do much better.
The General is Of opinion that the mines
in Oregon and California, the Chaste and
klamath dggings will pay we'll forthe next
so years. There is large scope Of country
in that part Of Oregon that is decidedly
rich. But the great obstacle in the way is
want OF protection, going there, in the
Rouge river country, those Indians having
sworn eternal hostility to the whites. Sew
eral persons have been brutally murdered
lately by the savages near what is gener-
ally known as the Umpqna Canyon. The
General thinks government should, by all
means establish a garrison in that country,
to protect persons going to and returning
from the mines. Il appears to be well
conceded fact that up through the Will
liamette valley, is far the most preferable
route TO 70 to the mines, and that eventu-
ally the greater part Of the supplies will
seek this channel The location Of the
Territorial road to the Umpqua, and the
| improvement ofthe small streams by brldg-
ing. etc.. will remove many Of the Difficult
ties that are now in the way, ID b ae
The Oregon papers contain resolutions
and various other expressions Of grief al
the death of the late Hoo. Sam'l X. Thurs
ton. lie was the idol Of the Territory, and
deservedly so--for few better or more
promising men lived. ..aa4e Rise
The Oregon Statesman also comes ou
4 in favor of Gen. Lane. That paper al
ludes in glowing yet truthful terms to hi:
qualifications as man, to his personal
integrity, his patriotism as a citizen. and
his soundness as democratic politician
The indications strongly favor the nom
in alton and election of Gen. Lane. Suct
an event would produce rejoicing through
out our whole Union. Gen. Lane wa.
