Philadelphia College of Medicine, to the editors of the
Pacifc Medical and Surgical Journal for publication
PHILADELPHIA January II. 1852

Journol:-Gentemen-My attention has been called to
article in the December number of your Journal in
regard to the ad eundm degree granted by the Phila
delpha College of Medicine to DIR. L. J. Czapkay.-
When the application for the degree made to the
Faculty. it was accompanied by aidavits and testimo
mails to the effect that DIR. CZapkay regular grad
nate NJ D. of the University of Pesth, had served
Surgeon in the Hungarian Army, and was regular
Practitioner of Medicine On the strength of these the
degree granted. The ad euendem degree, as its
implies is conferred graduates only and gives
us new privileges Had there been the slightest suspi
eton Of 1regarty. the application would have been
refused Byinserting this IN your journal, you wI do
an act Of justice to the College, and confer faror on

DAILY OVERLAND MAIL.-George
Asbury suggests to the Sacramento
STANDARD that "a daily mail may be
transported between St. Joseph and
Sacramento, via Salt Lake, Fort Kear
ney, Laramie, Bridger and Floyd, under
the schedule requirement of twenty
days, and subject to all the usual obliga
tions and penalties incident to similar
contracts with the Government, for the
sum of S400, 0,000-the contract yielding
to the contractor profit of $4,000 the
first year, and from 100000 to $780,
900 each subsequent year during the
existence of the contract"
Mr.. Asbury's plan for carrying the
mail is as follows: "The mail shall be
put up in two waterproof bags, not to
exceed the weight of $50 pounds each.
The route should be divided into Sec
tions of fifty miles each, with relay
station at the end of each section
Fresh men and animals should succeed
at each station, and put the mail through
fifty miles each way in ten hours. The
mail should be packed upon the mules,
and accompanied by two drivers, over
each section Of the route-dispensing
with vehicles and the delay occasioned
by them" In this way Mr.. Asbury
thinks daily mail may be transmitted
from the Missouri river to Sacramento,
with almost absolute certainty, in eigh-
teen days.

lump worth SIG, which is very large for
that vicinity. The claims they own
were abandoned as worthless for two
years before Bart & Co. have good
claims adjoining these. They also own
the Clear Greek Ditch which supplies
water to miners on this side of the Mid
die Yuba. Their reservoir broke at the
time of the last severe storm, occasion
ing loss of some $500 or 5000. The
diggings on the opposite bank of the
river are supplied with water at the re-
markably low price Of eight cents an
inch from the Moonshine Ditch, owned
by Geo. Derrickson & Co.

ELECTRICITY AS A MOTOR.-A
number of years ago, when Ewbanks
was Commissioner of Patents, he urged
in one of his very able reports the offer
ing of premiums for several desirable
inventions and discoveries not then made ;
and amongst the rest, we remember, he
thought premium should be offered for
the successful application of electricity
as motive power. The suggestion was
considered by many at the time as a lit
tie wild, and met no attention. The
idea of electrical engines was deferred
to the uncertain future, with that of
aerial navigation.
We are reminded of this by news
paper paragraph, which may, or may
not, be truthful. However, here it is
The London Chronicle announces
that the secret of COMPRISING and gov
erning electricity is at length discovered,
and that power may, therefore, now be
considered as the sole motor hencefor-
ward to be used. A small mortar was
fired by the inventor at the rate of one
hundred shots per minute-without
flashing, smoke or noise The same
power can, it seems, be adapted to every
system of mechanical invention, and is
destined to supercede steam, requiring
neither machinist nor combustion.

Nor SO BAD AFTER ALIVE ad-

Nor so BAD AFTER ALIVE ad-
wise all those who are fond of inveighing
against California society as being pre-
eminently bad, to read the lengthy
commentaries of the eastern press on
the notorious Sickles affair, and ponder
upon the developments of social corrup-
tion therein made with every show of
truth. The construction put by the San
Francisco press upon passage IN DIR.
Coles famous report, hardly carried with
it worse imputation upon the virtue of
our women, than is plainly cast upon
the women of Washington and New
York by some of the most influential
and respectable papers in those cities,
The N Y. Courier even went SO far,
according to correspondent of the S.
F. Times, as to publish series Of ar
ticles going to show that it is notorious
that large proportion of the wives of
downtown merchants amuse their leisure
hours in the absence of their husbands
by violating their marital obligations !:
Other journals charge alike extensivein-
fidelity upon the other sex, which is prob
ably true enough. If such statements
and charges were published in Califor
mir, the State would soon be too hot for
the parties promulgating them. If dis
covered they would deserve and meet
universal execration, if popular fury did
not deal out to them corporeal vengeance.
Yet these things are said east, and no
one attempts to deny or refute them. No
intelligent person will, Of course, credit
all of this character that is uttered In
times of excitement 1t is not likely
that society in either New York or
Washington is near SO bad as it is now
represented. Still there is wickedness
enough there to make us turn with
complacency to onr own lovely, much
maligned State, and to make us feel
that it is good for us to be here.

LEGISLATIVE "A great deal of bus
mess has been transacted by both houses,
but not much of solid advantage to the
State. The day of adjournment is so
near that many important matters are
bound to be sighted or overlooked.
What has become of the bill to create
the Office of State Geologist? Of As
semblyman Caldwell's Fee bill? The
Sunday law bill which was introduced
into the Senate after the defeat Of the
one in the Assembly was indefinitely
postponed; which ends that. We are
sorry to record the defeat of the bill
consolidating the proceeds of the sale
of the sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections
of the school lands, which, if it had be-
come law, would have secured to all the
school children in the State an equal
share of the fund thus realized. The
Senate Bill, providing revenue for the
support of the State Government, was
passed; also bill authorizing counties to
become stockholders in railroad eompan-
les; one enabling the State to receive
the benefit of swamp and overfowed
lands within her limits, and Assembly
bill to provide for the better encourage
ment of the vine and olive. The Bulk
head was made the special order fol-
yesterday.

Pixies PEAK.-A correspondent Of
the Nevada Democrat, writing from
Omega, says:
"Quite number of miners in this
section are selling out their claims cheap,
and intend to leave for Pixies Peak in
the Spring. Should the mines of that
country not come up to their expecta-
tions they design going home to the
States. They intend to prospect the
entire country, from the head of the
Humboldt, where it looks favorable,
with the hope of finding new El Dor
ado. Those who have passed over the
country are satisfied that it abounds in
mineral wealth"

CAMpToNvILLE.-Business is quick
ening up at this place, consequent up
. on the commencement of warm weather
abundance Of water and general resump-
tion of mining operations. The citizens
anticipate lively times on the completion
, Of the Sierra Turnpike, which will put
sathem in direct communication with
Marysville, Downieville and all other
towns upon the route, and attract more
attention to the advantages of Camp
tonville. There are about one hundred
men now at work on the turnpike, push
ing it rapidly forward. Mr.. Fuller, the
Expressman, informs us that the snow
on the Forest City trail is rapidly set
tleing. It is now only four or five feet
deep, in places where it was lately eight.
Mr.. Fuller has carried his express all
winter to the several camps adjoining
Camptonville, not allowing his trips to
be interrupted by the deepest SHOWS.
Californians owe great deal to the
mountain expressmen, and, we believe,
appreciate the obligation.

THE SHASTA VOLCANO is still con-
sidered delusion by the Republican,
which advises gentlemen not to visit
that part of the State in search of it
until the latter part Of the summer
the early part of fall-the season
during which the Diggers light their
fires for the purpose of corraling grass
hoppers. They will then be amazed at the
great number of active volcanos in the
secluded portions of Shasta county"
There as some chance of pedestrian
in search of the wonderful being de-
.celved in this way. We remember
seeing the most beautiful columns and
strata of blue, volcanic looking smoke
rising from the picturesque mountains
of Shasta and Trinity counties when we
were gold-hunting there in the summer
of 1850; and it was sometime before we
could trace the cause to the Indians.
Still, Messrs. jackson and Snyder have
made such positive statements, particu-
larly the former, who claims to have seen
the crater and the hot-air column vomit-
ing stones-that it is no more than fair
to give them chance to go on an ex-
ploring expedition and report, before
finally deciding that Shasta county is
without an active volcano.
