newspapers against the course Of Mr.. Mason, the
American Minister 10 France, in his attending
the re Deim given entlyatthechurch of Notre
Dame in Paris, in honor of the victory of the
Allies over Russia at Sebastopol; more especially
it is alleged that the programme of the cere-

made no mention of places reserved for the dip
lomatic body, and that the ministers of several
European nations deemed it their duty to abstain
from attending, ia order not TO compromise the
neutrality of their respective countries II is inn

that Denmark has lately requested the interposi-
ton Of France between herself and the United
States in the matter of the Sound dues, and the
current rumor is that the Emperor of France has
declined to accede to that request. 1t is not i'm

MEDICAL COLLEGES OF VIRGINIA.

This institution commences its course of lee
lures on Monday in the city of Richmond, and
we cannot forbear to say few words in its behalf
to our southern readers We do this without in
tending or wishing TO disparage either our own
Medical College or the University Of Virginia,
for both of which our warmest feelings are en-
listed
We have the pleasure Of personal acquaint-
ance with every member Of the Richmond faculty,
and from it and from an extensive knowledge OF
the physicians of the State and their opinions, we
are in a position to speak Understandings Of the
quality of this great young school. We believe
il TO be the best Medical College in the Union.
1t has every possible advantage. The professors
are men in the prime of life, active, energetic
practitioners, and still laborious students. They
are refined gentlemen, ornamenting the society
in which they move, and protesting the conf
dence and affection of the whole community.
As lecturers they are unsurpassed, and we base
this assertion upon the opinion Of dsinterested
medical gentlemen, who have heard the most dis
tinguished teachers in this couatry and in Eu-
rope. We are aware that this language is strong
very strong but it is not less sincere and honest,
and we feel sure that the day is not distant when
the whole South will recognize the claims which
this combination Of talent, genius, and worth
has upon her support.

NICSsELRODE.

Of all the statesmen Of Europe and America
who took part in public affairs at the fall of the
first Napoleon, the only one now remaining in
place is that Russian minister, who commenced
his political career as powerful foe Of the Ma
poleonic dynasty, which he still lives to combat.
All the public men Of the United States, it is said
who we're then eminent in political life, have de-
parted; new generation occupy their places.
In Europe none remain but esselrode, the pa

Napoleon, and now, the Minister Of Alexan-

Soft as rays Of sunlight, stealing

Sweet as chimes Of low bells pcaIing
When eve fades away;
Sad as winds 1T night, they moan
Through the heath DER mountains lone,
Come the thoughts Of days now gone,
On manbood's memory.
As the sunbeams from the heaven
Hide AT eve their light;
As the bells when fades the even
Peal not on the night
As the night winds cease 10 sigh
When the rain falls through the ky,
Pass the thoughts Of days gone by
From ages memory.
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,
And the bells give sweet voice warning
To the world 10 wake.
Soon the winds shall freshly breathe
Ger the mountains purple heath
But the past is lost in death.
lie hath no memory.

SOUTHERN FLoUR,-There is one interesting
feature in the flour trade of the present autumn.
We refer to the fact that the great bulk of -four
brought to the New York market thus far, has
been derived from the Southern States, which
have not till this year been looked to for that
commodity. The numerous railroads, opening
up all through these States, are furnishing new
outlets to extensive grain producing regions
which have heretofore stood far in the back
ground. The direct benefits Of railroads to agrl-
culture, are thus being clearly shown. In con
nection with this circumstance, it is to be re-
membered that we have still remaining at the
West and Northwest, the flour which in ordi-
nary years would have supplied the place now
occupied by this Southern product. This alone
will sensibly effect future prices.-.N. T. Tribune

ESTABLISHING THE CHURCH IN NICARAGUA
Colonel Kinney has succeeded in carrying out his
pious intention of establishing the church in Nj
caragua. Services were opened at San Juan, by
a colored clergyman, in his own hotel, for want
of church accommodations. Governor Kinney
present at the first sermon, and the first
hymn sung was "Jordon's stormy banks" in
which the singer is represented as casting ga
wshful eye to Canaan's fair and happy land =
The speaker also drew a parallel between the
expedition of Colonel Kinney to the rich lands
of Nicaragua and the expedition of Moses and
the children of Israel to the fruitful lands Of a.
man. Under such pious promptings the Colonel :
mission must prosper.
How TO BRING Down THE Pace Of FLOUR =
Let everybody eat potatoes instead OF bread for
awhile. They can be cooked and stressed up in
hundred different ways. They will be plenty
