We are requested by DR.. Satchwell, Secretary of
the above Society, to state that gentlemen of the
medical profession, visiting the meeting be held by
them at Salisbury, 18th of May, will be permitted
to pass over and return, by the North Carolina Rail-
road, for one fare. This arrangement has been made
by DR.. Satchwe with the President of this Road
Mr.. Ashe, the President of the Wilmington and We'll
don Railroad has extended like courtesy as regards
his Road. Those Physicians who may attend at
Salisbury, at the time mentioned, obtain from the
Secretary a certificate of their attendance on the
meeting, which will permit them to return home free
of charge.
We hope these couresies. thus extended to the
medical profession will be additional inducement
to Physicians in the East and middle of the State to
meet their brethren in the West, at Salisbury, in
social brotherhood around the altar of Medical Sci.

The Administration and Cuba.

So far as we have been able to learn or form an
opinion from sources public private, feel con-
vinced that the position of the administration is that
OF anxious desire and endeavor to maintain peace
full relations with Spain, and to execute rgidly and
in good faith all treaty stipuations with her-to
guard against illegal and irregular attempts against
Cuba, any other dependency of that OR any other
government; and on the other hand to insist upon
an equally rigid and faithful observance of our rights
from Spain, whether existing under the laws of ma
tons receiving force from treaty stpulatons. We
believe that the Naval force of the United States
has orders to concentrate in the Gulf of Mexico
peace measure, and that in pursuance of this object
it has orders to put stop to all aggressons that
might lead to war-that no Spanish n-of-war will
be allowed to overhaul, fire at, stop examine any
American vessel under penalty of being itself fired
into, and if necessary sunk by vessels of the u S
Navy. The flag must be respected; the irresponsible
tyrants of Captain Generals must be held responsible
directly and Immediately, and they will be, and witt
a knowledge of this fact, fewer causes of complain
will occur, and when they do will be prompt,
atoned for

The Secretary of the Navy being somewhat debil-
itated hv his recent very violent attack OF sickness,
has, We understand, found it necessary be relieved
from his arduous durie~ for short time, and, with
view to relaxation, leaves this morning for North
Carolina by way of Norfolk, at which place he will
spend day visit to the navy yard, where two
of our new steam frIgates are being built and other
work of much public importance 10 gong on.
Notw' thstanding his illness, he has not been idle.
Since the adjournment of Congress he has prepared
and issued the several regulations necessary for car
rying out the provisions eff the bi for the more et'
hcien discipline of The navy-such as the forms and
manner of conducting summary courts martial and
rules for the granting the honorable dlschag-
es referred 10 in the bill. He has also arranged and
put into operation system for apprentcing boys to
the navy and has established the rules for carrying
ii out We bdve been credihly informed that the
Secretary has determined upon the lst OF June next
the time for the meeting of the board of officers
authorized by the act to promote the efficiency OF the
navy, though the orders to the officers who are 10
compose the board will not issue until the Goth Of
| May, (by which time he will have returned 10 his
posI,) at that time it will ne more convenient to
the department. to avail itself of the services of some
who engaged other duty.
Secretary Pobbin's discharge of the important
public duties confled to him has been marked with
energy, decision, enlightened wis tom. and indie
lalgability of purpose which permitted rest. But
the well merited enconiums which have been bestowed
upon him by the press of the whole country, with
out distinction of ,rty, have been purchased at th
expense of necessary repose, and ultimately of healt
| ilsrlf In common with his numerous friends, we
indulge in the hope that his proposed partial reIaxa
ton from the duties and responsibilities of official
business may prove of permanent advantage and
that he will return to Washington in the full enjoy
ment of his wonted vigorous health. Wash. Union.
