 Those who will contemplate our geogrsp phcal po- siion, and the extent Of our population. can have 90 doubt Co the gbiiity of situation Tor an enterprise of the kind. As 10 health, including all seasons of the year, deny at any oihsr eity has MoTe.
 4 common error exists in the minds of many stu dents relative 10 the place of studying medicine those who intend p<aetieing among the diseases oi the West and South should certainly educate them selves at 2 school whose Faculty are practically ac- anainted with those diseases.
 That the public may be satisfied of the perms- nency of this school feel it duty o state that the Trustees and Faculty form a nni in action, which argues well for it's future success and that the peculiar internal organization which connects them cannot be interrupted.

JAMArcA.--The chief Of police in the city of
Kingston, on the island of Jamaica, is a colored
man.-We met him on the steamer Philadelphia
last summer while she was coaling nj that
port, and found him quite intelligent. He for
mery belonged to Mr. Stevenson, of Virginia, ran
away to Canada, and thence made his way on a
sail vessel to Jamaica, where he became popu-
lar with the authorities, and was promoted to
his post of honor He was dissatisfied with
the island, and said he ,oould prefer living ,oih
his master in Virginia II he could be rtinstaied
in his home and confidence. His testimony cor
roborated by thousands of walking witnesses,
who flock around passengers on shore, for char
ity, was that he had neper a colored comnu-
nity in Stare States debdsed, so indolenf 50
picious and so impoverished as are The free ne
groes Of jamaica.
We could not doubt this mans testimony.
A wax about the once Furnishing and beau,-
full city, and ride through the country, every
moment introduced corroboratng facts, in the
persons of ragged rabble of men, women and
children, some crowding the docks, or hockng
after you in the streets, or lounging upon the
sidewalks and lanes, the most miserable beings
in appearance that we had ever seen and in
truth had ever conceived.
We did not wonder then that the tooth of
duit iHu nltTheu anu NtIaCeu everything tnhl
had once fourished in beauty and prosperity
1t was not, in truth, the mark of time,--it was
the decay Of indolence,--the crumbling Of walls
abandoned to a people accustomed TO servitude
and naturally prone to slothfulness. And we
do not wonder now that the legislative and
crown authorities of that magnificent island are
devispg.'a scheme to introduce laborers upon it
from among the more intelligent and energetic
colored population Of the United s ates.
Relieved Of slave servitude by the enamel
patton net of Parliament, the colored people Of
Jamaica, on whom the sugar planters relied for
labor have misconceived the idea Of freedom.
and seeminQy, and in truth, shown themselves
totally indifferent to all its duties, obligations
and principles. They have, in good measure,
abandoned labor, and made their chief dcpen-
dence upon the bounties Of nature in her fruits.
The result naturally followed,--an abandon
ment Of the plantations TO the blight Of the
thiste and the weed, and a most consuming de-
probation in value. Plantations, which yielded

A PATRIOTIC WoMAN-The Charleston Mer-
curry, of the 2sth inst, contained the following
communication, the substance of which was of
actual occurrence, and took place in Orangeburg
district
"Not long since, while attending one of the
tax collectors polls in this parish, ! was de-
lighted to hear an expression fall from the lips
Of lady who happened to be present Mt the
polls, and | think it should be spread before
your readers. 1t was as follows When the
tax collector handed her the amount Of her
taxes, she exclaimed with astonishment: "Sir,
what means all this This account Is double
that Of last year? The tax collector then went
on to tell her Of the new law, and finished by
telling her that the principal object of the taxes
was to raise sum Of money to prepare South
Carolina to meet the enemy. On hearing this
her coun,enance frightened as she exclaimed
If that is the object, care not were it doubled
again Would that the God Of battles would
infuse In all our souls such noble patriotism
Then we would be prepared to preserve, pure
and immaculate, the unsullied honor of the
PALMETTO STATE.
