THE nfEpICAT, COI.TID0B.

Amer an almost interminable debate before
the Committee of Schools and Colleges, u
which the Doctors cut one another up ~
proxy, Il. e. through the lawyers that com.
mittee yesterday reported bill to incorpo-
rate the Medical College Of Virginia. Inc
institution is to be located in this city. In.
deed. it is the incorporation of the present
Medical College ofthis city, with Its present
Professors at its head. The College is now
the medical department of Hampden Sidney
College. Hampden Sidney has the authority
in its charter to establish medical school,
and such was the opposition encountered by
the projectors of the present College, when
they sought an independent charter, that. to
avoid the struggle, they procured the use of
the privilege in the charter of Hampden Sid
ney The recent quarrel with that institu-
ton has led the Faculty of the Medical Col
lege now to seek an independent charter
Before the committee, the Faculty of the
Medical College, the Trustees of Hampden
Sidney, and those Physicians fthis city who
oppose the incorporation of the present Pro-
fessors of the Medical College, were all rep.
by counsel. The committee, of
course had talk enough

TEMPERANCE

The House of Delegates was yesterday
completely inundated with petitions for the
passage of a law to take the sense of the peo-
pie upon the question of prohibiting the re-
failing of ardent spirits, and prohibiting its
sale by retail in such cities and counties as
give majority against the sale. BY some
sort of coincidence, they came from all parts
ofthe State at the same time, and were pour
ed down in one grand shower. One from
Richmond was presented by Mr.. ELLYsos,
which he said had fifteen hundred and twen-
tyone signers! A pretty good list. A brief
debate sprung up on a motion to refer these
petitions TO special committee, in which We
had a foretaste of the spice and pungency
THAT the proposition that may grow out of
them is likely to elicit. The House made it.
selfquite merry with the scene of the handing
in the vast pile; and the worthy Clerk of the
House had quite job of listing them. The
motion to refer to a special committee was
lost, and the whole subject is referred to the
Committee of Courts of Justice.

MATERIAL AID FROM THE COUNTRY

The Country DISPATCH has received of late
very large accession to its list. So many
and so liberal have been our friends from al
most every quarter of the State, that we can
hardly particularize Yet at the risk Of being
considered invidious, while we thank them
all most heartily, we must take occasion to
speak particularly of the large list sent us
from Pittsylvania Courthouse. Our friend
who sends it has our especial thanks for his
kindness. We trust to make our weekly al
ways worthy of the liberal support of the gen
erous people about old ''CoMPETIrIoN."
