The address to the graduates, BY Dr.. J. II.
Hollister, upon the "prcsent Developments
around US, the demands made upon us IN
this age, as contrasted with ages past,
and the particular requisites for successful
medical Practice was a well prepared effort,
cmincntly worthy Of the head and hcart Of It's
author. The advice to new practitioners was
sound, calculated to raise tic standard Of the
profession and enforced with example and
anecdote which will have the effect Of impress
ing its lessons indelibly upon the minds Of the
class to whom it Was directed.
After conclusion Of the exercises, pleas
ant reunion Of the faculty, students and in
vitcd guests was held at the residence Of Dr..
N. s. Davis, on Washington street, where re-
freelments were had, brief addresses were de-
lyered, and general sociability prevailed.
From Taylor's Battery.
We have been favored with the perrsm Of i
letter from Captain Ezra Taylor, Of Taylor's
Battery, written at Fort Donelson on the 24th
nlt-, from which we make The following cx-
| tract:
Military matters are very quiet here at pres
! ent, but We hope soon to push the rebels still
! fusther into Dixie. The health OF my COM
| 1uand Is good, with tho exception Of some IF
teen or twenty, who are suffering from the
diaIrhea and bloody huS, which seem to be
quite prevalent among our troops. Your ac-
count of the late fight has been read and re-
read By us a dozen times, and is, SO far as my
knowledge extends, quite accurate. We all
feel as il the backbone Of the rebellion had
been broken.
The following order, alluaing to the Fort
DcnclEon fl ght and the decease Of Oscar Beck
ers, sn account Of whose burial VIC published
! a few days since, accompanied the above:
HEADQUARTERS TAg1oR's RAFFERTY,
FORT DosELsoS, Tenn Feb. 53, 1867
! Company Orders No. II
/ The commanding officer desires to express
| to the members Of his command his high up
| probation Of their talents and manly carriage,
SO successfully proven during the trying
| scenes through which VIC have So lately pass
cd. Your conduct fully justifes the good
| name you had previously acquired on the
| bloody fields Of Frederiektown and Belmont
Let this victory nerve you on to still further
and greater efforts, remembering that it is
only by hard blows, laid on thick aud fast
that this unho1y rebellion can be quelled, and
the cause Of law and justice prevail Butamids1
our rejoicing at the glorious success which has
attended our arms, we have cause for grief in
the death Of one Of our noblesf com
patriots, the gallaut Beckers, who, on being
borne MORALLY wounded from the field, cx
claimed, II die like man; boys, go back an6
man the sua!'' Let us emulate his noble
spirit, and if the fortunes Of war should de
eide that more of us should fall, let us mce
our fate in nanner worthy the glorious caus,
in which We arc engaged
By order Of
