The Prospectus of this Institution announces the
next annual course of lectures to commence ON the
LIST of November, and promises full and prosper
Gus session.
This School not having been suspended during
the war has suffered no reduction in its facilities,
but continues on a footing of enlarged advantages
The vacancies in the Chairs of Surgery and OBJ
stetrics, made by the deaths of Professors Conway
and Gibson, have been filed by the election OF Dr.
Hunter MCGUIRE to the chair of Surgery, ana OF
DIR. ROBERT t. COLEMAN to that of Obstetrics. The
latter most excellent appointment, being that OF
gentleman of reputcd professional learning and OF
rare ability as a teacher. The election of DIR Nc
CURE to the chair of Surgery commends thiss school
to the interest of the people of our Valley. His emil
nent service as the Medical Director Of Gen. Jack
sons Corps, and his reputation as Surgeon guar
antee worthy successorship in the duties OF that
chair.
The whole faculty is an able one, and the facili-
ties of the school are ample in all respects As our
own State Institution it deserves our especial con-
sideration in the choice of Medical Schools.

Prescription.

The following resolution was passed by the Lee
gislature OF West Virginia, and is proposed as an
amendment to the Constitution of that State to be-
come part thereof, when ratified BY the people Of
West Virginia, as follows:
NO person who, since the first dav of June.
1851, has given voluntary aid or assistance to the
rebellion against the United States shall be citi-
zen Of this State, or be allowed to vote at any cleo
ton held therein, unless he volunteered into the
military or naval service of the United States and
has been or shall be honorably discharged there
FROM" Adopted March l, 1854.
The West Virginia Republican, published at
Buekhannon, Upshur County, takes ground against
this amendment, declaring that it was passed as a
war measure, is in direct conflict with the Consti-
tuition Of West Yirginia-is petty piece of malice
is ungenerous and unmanly-vindictive and per-
scouting to fallen foe-and that Upshur County
will not, BY her vote "belie her past record. but
will give an overwhelming majority against the
amendment"

CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION..

twill be seen, by paragraph copied from the
Baltimore American, that the Union Convention
lately assembled at Winchester, nominated Mr..
GEoReE E. SENsExEY as their candidate for Con
gress.
Mr.. Senseney was for ten years and half Editor
of the Winchester Republican, which he conducted
with much ability.
twill be seen, by the notice in another column,
that public meeting is to be held at the Court
House in Charlestown on the I'd September, to send
delegates to Congressional Convention to be held
at Winchester on the 4th of September.
It's not yet known whether Jefferson County is
to have a voice in the matter or not. Claimed BY
both the old and the new State, the question can
only be decided by Congress.
Many of our readers are not aware that Colonel
Latham was chosen as one CT the members OF Con-
gress for the State of West Virginia. at the election
held in June last, in which only portion of the
people of Jefferson took part
Col Latham, we understand, was officer in the
Union Army during the early part of the war, and
is said TO be gentleman of good capacity. The
next session of Congress win call into action all bis
energies

Clarke County Court.

The second term of this Court, since the re-
volt, was commenced on Monday last at Berry
ville and was fully attended. The Court was
composed Of the following gentlemen:
DR.. VIM. d. Mcclure, Presiding Justice
Nathaniel Burwel Aaron Duble, Joseph
Mitchell, VIM. W. Meade, Associates; Lewis a.
Glass, Clerk, Thomas A. Moore, Asst; Province

a case of much interest occupied the atten-
ton of the Court during the day-a contest for
the Sheridalty of the County, between John W.
Beemer, one of the Commissioners of the cleo
ton in May last, who claimed to have been le-
gally elected, and Washington Ferguson, who
claimed a majority.
E. B. Mantor, Esq. for Beemer, and Philip
Williams and Uriel Wright, Esqs., for Fergu-
son.
The case was argued with ability, and the
Court decided in favor of Ferguson, who has
given the necessary bond, and entered on the
duties of the Office.
The people of the County were largely in at
tendance, to witness a renewal of the old Court
system, a favorite institution.

Education.

We arc glad to find that in spite of all obstacles,
and the destruction Of the Free School system, we
vet have good institutions of learning amongst US.
We direct the attention Of our readers to the fol-
lowing
School for Young Ladies in Charlestown, IN
der the supervision of Mr. ROBERT T. BROwN, the
well known and experienced Clerk of the Superior
Court, whose qualifications for the important duty
are undoubted viii be opened on the 4h of Septem-
Der.
Another Female School is about to be opened in
Charlostown, with limited number of young ladies
as boarders, by Mrs. 4. NJ. FORREST, formerly of
Saunton, with competent assistants. From ali we
hear of this accomplished lady, we have reason to
expect decided success in her efforts.
The Charlestown Academy, an institution of long
standing, in which many of our young men have
acquired knowledge under able teachers is again
in charge Of Rev. c. y. CAMPBELL as Principal, aid
ed by an experienced teacher. The next session

SOUTH CAROLINA.

Governor Perry on his return from Washing
ton, on the lst inst, made am interesting speech
at Greenville. He stated that he had been very
cordially received by the President with whom
he remained an hour or two. He said:
Il told him that the people of South Caro-
Ina accepted the terms of his proclamation,
and were disposed to return to their allegiance
70 the Union; that from having been the most
rebelh0us State in the South, I was satisfied
South Carolina would be one of the most loyal
of the Southern States that she would reform
her constitution and abolish slavery, give the
election of Governor and Presidential electors
TO the people and equalize the representation
of the State gave it as my opinion that the
disuniOn feeling of the South had originated in
the parishes.
"The President expressed himself gratifed
at the course South Carolina was likely to pur-
sue, and instead Of manifesting any bitter or
revengeful spirit, he evinced great kindness, So
hcitude and magnanimity. The whole delegation
was deeply impressed with the courtesy, dignity
and ability Of his eXcellcncy. His political
views expressed TO Us were those of patriot
and a statesman. He wished to see the coun-
try once more quiet, peaceable, happy and
prosperous. In regard 20 the relative powers
of the State and Federal Government. his opin-
ions were identical with my own, so long ex-
pressed in South Carolina. He was equally
opposed 90 the Capitalization and consolidation
of powers In Congress as he was TO the secession
of the States. 1t must be left 70 the Legisla-
ture Of each State 20 decide who shall be allow
ed 70 vote I'm the State ANY attempt on the
part of Congress 20 control the elective franchise
Of State would be unwarrantableus upation. p
The Governor then described the nature of
his interviews with Secretaries Seward. Stan
ton aud NcCulloch, and with Attorney Cen
eral Speed, all of whom treated him cautiously.
He thus sums up his views
" In conclusion, let me say to YOU rellow-citizens
that / am wei pleased with an that I saw and
heard at Washington in reference 10 the Southern
States. Let Us now do our duty, take the oath Of
allegiance elect good and wise men 70 the conven-
ton, reform our STATE constitution, abolish sa-
very equalize the representation of the State in the
Senate, give the election of Governor and Presi-
Dental electors % the people, and an will be we'll
Immediately after the convention has reformed the
constitution, the Legislature viii be convened 70
elect United States Senators, and provide for the
election Of members Ofthe House of Representatives
I'm Congress. This may be done by the first Mon
day in December next when the State viii be fully
restored " all her rights under the Constitution
and laws Of the United States"
South Carolina having been the first State
to withdraw from the Union seems likely to
be the first to return with a complete re-orga-
nization. The President told Gov. Perry he
was " an expeditions Governor" and they part
ed, each pleased with the other.

A Kind Greeting.


A friend, who manifests great interest IN
the revival of the /" Old Family Journal has
sent US some good reflections on the subject
Referring to the interval of our suspension
and the changed aspecto of things-the yicisi-
tudes to which some of cur former readers
have been subjected, he says:
Alas that so many Of them have passed
away in the comparatively briefperiod which
has intervened--some ofthem ike ripe sheafs
gathered into the garner-others cut down IN
the very prime of manhood. Enough, how
ever. are left to exert healthful influence in
these still eventful times. There never was a
period when the counsels Of good men were
more urgently needed when kindly influences
should be used for the public veal, than at the
present.
True, the dark cloud of war, which so long
brooded over our beautiful Valley, and darken-
ed so many happy homes, has parted and
gone, we trust forever, and we now begin TO
enjoy the blessed sunlight Of peace, but the
institutions so long established have been up
rooted. and some matters Of irritation yet re-
MAN.
An should now agree to let the dead past
bury its dead and act manfully and patriot
cally for the living present, yielding fair
support to the authorities now entrusted with
the administration Of the Government
There is much to encourage US in such a
line Of conduct. There are yet strong arms and
stout hearts left in this beautiful Yalley-as
fair a region as the sun ever shone upon-ou
fruitful soil still returns rich harvest to the
sons Of toil-the same noble rivers glide
peacefully through our borders, no longer
tinged with the blood ofconteuding hosts-the
same lofty mountains stand as seutinels around
us-the same glorious sky bends its cerulean
arch above us, undimmed by the smoke Of bat
tie More than an, the same benifcent Deity
still holds our destinics in His hands-and
though it has pleased Him to allow us to be
scoWged and chastened, there are yet manifold
mercies and blessings for which to be thankful
"Your weekly visits viii be hailed with
pleasure as Of old; and your readers look with
confidence to the prospect of bright future
for this great country To the genial infu-
euce of the FREE Pass this community is
largely indebted, and candid minds cannot fail
to extend to it a generous and cheerful Sup
port"

Maryland Politics.

At late meeting in Howard County, at which
speeches were made by Hon. Montgomery Blair
and Colonel W. II. Purnell, the following resolu-
tons were adopted:
Rs,olred by the friends Of President Johnson re,i-
dents Of Howard County, in Mass Meeting assem-
Ued-
Ist That while with the whole country we de-
plore tho endih act which resulted in the death of
Mr.. Lincoln, we have great cause of congratula on
that the reins of Government have fallen into the
hands Of one whose sterling patriotism has been
subjected to tests more severe than have proved
that of any other of our high public functionaries,
and whose official acts have evinced conciliatory
and provident sagacity broad as the great coun-
try over which he presides.
I'd. That the policy of the Administration which
leaves to the people of each State lately in rebel
lion, who give satisfactory evidence of present 10y
atty, the right of forming its government and of
determining to whom shall be committed the cleo
tive franchise, is in all respects wise and prudent,
and in conformity with the theory upon which our
complex system Of government was framed.

Invitation to Richmond.

A Committee Of seventy-fve Of the promi-
nent citizens of Richmond have joined the Press
Committee in an invitation to President John
son to visit Richmond The object seems to be
to enable the President to see and judge for
himself as to the condition of affairs and the
temper of the people.
Never were any people on the face Of the
earth more happily relieved from an oppressive
burden than those Of Richmond by the peace !;
and there can be no doubt of the sincerity and
cordiality with which they will receive the
President. They see and feel that whilst he is
bound to enforce with some degree of rigor the
task before him, he is not bent on Southern
humiliation Believing thatthe revolted States
were never out Of the Union, it is not Recon-
struction for which he is laboring for that
which has never been demolished cannot be
reconstructed: 1t is Rehabilitation that is,
merely bringing the wanderers home.

CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.

A regular district convention for the nomination
of candidate to represent the Seventh Congress
sional District of Virginia in Congress held in
the Odd Fellows Hall, Loudoun street, Winchester,
on Thursday, the oath inst.
Nr. Gross, of Frederick County was chosen Pre-
sident and A. NJ. Crane, Esq, editor of the Win
chester Journal, was elected Secretary.
The President briefly stated the object of the
meeting, and declared it open for such business
might be brought before it,
1t was moved that a committee Of fve-one from
each county composing the district--be appointed
to bring the name of the most available man before
the convention. There not being full representa-
ton of the several counties, the following gentle
men were appointed by the President :Messrs. s..
X. Atwell, John w. Beemer, David Lupton, DR..
Corcoran, and Mr.. Alfred Seal.
The committee adjourned, and after some consul
tatiOn, reported, through Ny. Atwell their chair
man, that on account of absence of representation
from some of the counties, no definite action had
been determined upon by the committee, and they
thought best to suggest TO the convention the pro
priety OF appointing conference committee, com
posed ofthree from each county, to meet sometime
in the latter part Of September or lst of October,
for the purpose of deciding upon the most availa-
bic candidate, but if this action did not meet the
sanction of the convention, the committee would
suggest the name of George Rye.
So much Of the report as related 10 the appoint
ment of the conference rejected.
VIM. Andrews moved to amend by inserting the
name of George +. Senseney. Adopted.
The previous question was then put, and GEORGE
Z. SENsENEY, Esq, was unanimously chosen to rep
resent the Seventh Congressional District in the
Thirty-ninth Congress.
On motion, a committee of FIVE was appointed to
notify Mr.. Senseney of his nomination.
Messrs. George w. Taylor, John Anders S. Trena-
ry, A. Seal and James Snaff, were appointed such
committee.
On motion, the Secretary was instructed to send
a copy of the proceedings of this convention TO the
Washington Chronicle and Baltimore american
Three cheers were then given for Mr. Senseney,
and the convention adjourned.

words of soberness and Truth.

The National Inieligeneer, always conservative
and reliable journal, Is labOring judcously to in
culcate proper idea Of Southern opinion and con-
duct. A late number says:
"There is one phase of Southern opinion which
is not generally comprehended and it is this, viz
that the rebels who fought accept the situation and
embrace the Union with far more alacrity and
whole-heartedness than do many Of those rebels
who were mere politicians, who fomented the war,
but who stayed at home, and spun theories and In
dulged in dreams, and fought chimney-corner bat
ties while the soldiers were risking life. Itappears
that the rebel soldiers are outspoken. They say (:
I'VE voted for the issues Of slavery and State SOW
ereignty; then we fought for them. We have
been defeated Overwhelmingly at all points. Now
we give the contest up like men and like soldiers
and we 60 in honestly for a common country, for
one sovereign nationality, and for universal free
DOM Their only breads and horror is of what they
call negro equality Such is the account that
reaches us from Union Generals who have been con-
cerned in late political movements in the South
Assuming this to be the fact, il is indeed encourag
ing intelligence. No moral force can be greater in
the South than that welded by those who composed
the armies Of the so-called Confederaey. This
fact also proves that no nation ever existed whose
common heart was so united as is that Of the
of the people of the United States Civil war has
not broken this tie"

Trial of Wirz.

The trial of Wirz, the Andersonville prison
keeper, is going on before the Military Commits
sion in Washington The testimony of DR..
John c. Bates, the rebel physician of the prison,
was continued. He described condition of
misery, suffering and horror unparalleled
The scurvy prevailed almost to rottenness, many
of the men starved to death because of the small
quantity or EMBELLISHMENTS of the food fur
nished, and gangrene was so virulent as to re-
quire frequent amputations and reamputations.
DR.. A. w. Burrows, who was surgeon of the
Twenty-seventh Massachusetts, infantry, and
was for some time prisoner at Andersonville,
was also examined He testified to the INSULT
cheney and Embellishments of the food, the abb
sence of medical supplies, the cruelties to the
captives, their punishment in the stocks and
chain-gang, eirvaccination with impure mat
ter, from the effects of which many died, and
the pursuit of those who escaped with blood
hounds His narrative was a recital of the
most sickening and cruel details. At the COM
mencement of August 1864, there were from
thirty-three thousand to thirty-six thousand
prisoners confined in the pen, and during that
month nearly three thousand of them died.
In consequence ofrestrictions upon them by
the Court the counsel for the prisoner have
withdrawn, and Judge Advocate Chapman is
assigned to act for him.
