City of Baltimore. Her magnificent char
tiles, dispensed with lavish hand to th
destitute and suffering people of the South
have linked the citizens of that city to th
Southern people with "hooks of steel. y
In thousands of homes throughout til
Southern States, the abodes of widows an
orphans, daily and nightly, the noble chal
tiles of Baltimore are borne to Heaven i
the prayerful blessings of tens of thousand
of grateful hearts. Her own liberality an
thoughtfulness have formed a bond of un
ion and sympathy between her citizens AM
our people that will increase with each sue
ceeding year. We sincerely desire to Sc
tlis attachment strengthened and cultiva
ted into still more intimate and durable
commercial and social relation than ha
heretofore existed.
We have every reason to believe tina
Baltimore will receive greater share OF the
trade of the South this Fall than ever be
FORE Outside of the heavy obligations the
Southern people are under to this city, new
enterprises and redoubled energies on the
part of her business men present solid
claims to our patronage. Her direct com
munications with Europe through her mer'
chant marine enable her to obtain impor'
tations as cheaply and expeditiously as hel
more Northern rivals, while freights, by
water and sail, should certainly be as cheap
or cheaper on account of a nearer proximi-

beginning to b. alive to these advantages,
and will beyond doubt avail themselves of
them.
But we desire, to-day, more particularly
to call to the attention of the medical stu
dents of the South, the superior advantages
of the School of Medicine of the Universe
ty of Maryland, in connection with its
claims upon our people, especially upon
North Carolinians An advertisement in
another column will exhibit the names OF
the Faculty and their announcement to the
public. The Professors will be recognized
as the leading medical men of Baltimore.
Professor n, r smith has had for nearly
half century national reputation as a
Surgeon, without rival in Baltimore and
almost without any competition. Since
Mott and Warren passed away, It must be
admitted on all hands that he has the am
plest experience in America. Still vigor-
Gus and in the full possession of his capa-
student what he knous to be true. An EN-
inent physician has said of him; ''Of all
the teachers I have ever heard, he is the
most practical, the most original, and gives
the largest number Of examples from his
own personal experience" Prof. Akin
bears the reputation of being q full-grown
Chemist, and has long and large expert
ance as teacher.
DIR. G. ". Miltenberger, the Professor OF
Obstetrics, has the enviable reputation OF
being one of the best medical scholars in
America, and could fill with ability any
chair in the School. He enjoys the largest
general practice in Baltimore. lir Mcsher-
ry, native of Virginia, formerly surgeon
in the U. S. Navy, and the author of a
work upon the diseases of Mexico, has seen
disease in every cline and country. Drs.
Johnston, Chew, Donaldson and Butler are
alike eminent in their various branches, end
as teachers sRd physicians are second to
none in the country,
We desire, however to call atten ion espe'
cially to the fact, that among the Faculty
will be recognized two North Carolinians,
DR.. W. T. Howard, formerly of Warrenton,
and DIR. Nj. J. DeRosset, formerly of this
city. DR.. Howard, by successful expert
ence of nearly twenty-five years, has become
familiar with the diseases of the South and
gill be enabled to teach his students lessons
of value, His qEpartnnities for becoming
acquainted with the peeuliaritte$s Of dis
eases of this climate must be vastly supe-
rior to the Professors of more Northern
schools, who has never seen a sick man in
this section. DR.. Towards reputation in
this State is second to none, and the State
Medical Society at its late meeting, in Raj
eigh, adopted the following preamble and
teaqli4tttGas upon learning of his appoint
ment to the Guar II Physiology and Hy-
gene in the Medical Department CT the
University OF Maryland
The Medical Society of the State OF North Caro-
lima have heard with mingled feelings of pleasure
and regret of the appointment ofDr w. L. Howard,

gene in the Medical Department of the University
of Maryland regret at parting with so va luable d
member of Society, and pleasure IN knowing
thGt ths Medical College of Baltimore has secured
the services OF eng 20 enlinently qualified for the
position assigned him
Therefore resoloed, That the Stste Medical So
ciety unanimously tender to DR.. Howard, our best
wishes for his welfare and abundant success in his
new field of labor and cordially commend him to
our professional brethren and the citizens OF Bal
timore as q gentleman and scientific member OF

Or. DeResset carries with him most
enyiable reputaii9H: ! careful iaaFr i and extern
ded course In some of the MOST celebrated
schools Of Europe, added to four years OF
arduous labor and valuable experience in
the field and hospitals of the South, during
the war, gives him advantages possessed by
few physicians of his age. The Medical
Society paid high tribute to his merits,
but not Q member Of it, the Society could
take no official action.
