Al the io,o price Of ONE DOLLAR per AMMAN,
3 the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
j Potomac, and as cheap as any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting Of the entertaining and
news matter Of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HuGH X. PLEAsANrs, Principal Editor.
1t is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their felIowcitz ems.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprze, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest from choice. they are Southern men. Their
defence OF Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremtting, and far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been nstilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at a period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
knowit TO be impossible.
I9-The low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
,cuys in advance.

STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY.

We copy from the proceedings of the North Car
oina State Medical Society, which have just been prin
ted at the Standard Office, the Valedictory Address of
Dr.. Strudwick, and the remarks of DR.. James E..
Williamson, OF Caswell, on assuming the duties of
the Chair:
"Dr. Strudwick, the late President, on leaving the
Chair, delivered the following interesting and feeling
VaedlctoTy Address:
GENTLEMEN: In leaving the post assigned 10 me
by your kind Partially, again tender to you my sim
cers thanks tor the honor you have conferred upon
me. congratulate you that we have been spared to
pursue, during another year, arduous and resPon
sibe dutiesthat have been permitted 10 meet to-
gether under circumstances Of pleasure and encour-
agement-to recognise each other personal friends
Ito engage in the pleasant Offices OF social Intercourse
Ito interchange, with pleasure and profit, Medical
opinion Frou the high character of our Annual Ad.
dress, and the emneny practical turn Of our discus
| slons, am gratihed 10 say we have commenced an
appropriate work. This is the proper way to promote
the best interests and objects Of enterPrize-
to nfuse new life into it-and to bear honorable
part in the elevation of Medical character and the ad
yancement OF Medical science. For, believe me,
whether contribute our rghtful share to THE great
work or not, it's growth is inevitable. The highest
order of TALENT with the lights from almost every de-
partment of science, in the Old as well as the New
W orId, is enlisted in this noble scheme. Neither
the apathy of friends the cold neglect and deep in
empiricism, can stay its onward course True Medi-
cal Science will, like the majestic oak, withstand the
shock and storm of every opposition. 1t has been
beautifully compared to - star, whose light though
now and then obscured by passing cloud will shine
on forever in the armament of heaven.
During the brief existence of our Society, 1t has,
think, accomplished much good. There is perfume
kindness and consideration in intercourse, which
indicates higher tone of morality in the Profession
and there il a more generous, it not more general
interest manifested in all that concerns its honor and
its usefulness. s. a'e

PusLIc SENTIMENT IN BosroN. There have been
two trials connected with the rescue Of the slave
Shadach in Boston, and the last has resulted in
the disagreement of the jury-nne being for convic.
ton, and three against i-,hus making another fares
of the trial by jury, in locality where public senti-
.nent has been so poisoned by abolition fanaiicism
that the laws of the country be carried out.
We can only say that, in case where the proved
facts are clearly against the offender-whefe con'
victon is due from the evidence-that it is a mere
mockery Of public justice to select jury. Such
suits will disgrace the character Of Boston, long
as it is evident that the laws Of the country cannot
be enforced. 1t is but too clear that the abotioh
spirit has stepped between the law and the facts and
made farce OF the whole matter.
