TAMPERING WITH LETTERs--OUR HIGHWAYS
BY CONTRACTION. wIsE's NURSE.

From Our Own Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, Dee. "a, 1859.
We are deserted and desolate--the Virginia
Doctors have gone This congregation Of squirts
moved off iD a body of some $50, on "Wednesday
night, all teketed through to Rich nond, where
SnOber gathering Of squirts, with Gov. Wise at
their bead have received them with becoming
bonora. At The railroad depot here, some inter-
esting int. rludes occurred in the great farce Some
SEQ other students were present to strengthen the
declining courage of those who had resolved to
leave us. There was also large number Of other
passengers, poriers, hackmen, and lockers On gen.
orally, altogether making a very respectfully sized
crowd. In this crowd several individuals were
moving about with great activity, evidently in
search of somebody. One of them, tailor, at
last found his man. and protested against his clear
ing out without paying what he owed. High words
ensued, the crowd closed up, and / could not hear
how the matter ended. Three or four young girls
were also seen making their way among the doe
tors, in tears at the prospect OF suddenly los
ing their paramours. But at ia O'Clock the hast
whistle blew, the laggards on the platform seram-
bled into the ears, and the crowd Of indignant doe
tors moved off amid the cheers of their compatriots
who remained but followed By no regrets from the
lovers of decency and order in Philadelphia.
The cause Of this foolish hasty and ill-advised
movement is well known here, and ought to be
known everywhere else. These young men have
quit our noble medical schools for the sole reason
that free speech is allowed in Philadelphia. Their
brutal attempt to break up Curtis's lecture by
abusing our hospitality and violating our laws, was
crushed on the instant by an oyerpowering police
force that detected and publicly exposed them as
the actual perpetrators. Their names were pa
raded in the next mornings Police Reports and
hail was required of them to answer at Court. All
this was so different from the plantation law which
they had been educated TO administer, that If could
not be tolerated and hence the childish stampede Of
which they will soon be heartily ashamed. We are
not sony at their departure. Their morals have
been anything but commentaries; their manners
lows their language loose and proane and their as
socatons such that but few Of them were ever per-

squareness, regularity, straigbtness and uni
