GIADTo HEAR Ir.-For several months past
Dr. j. II. Josselyn, for the last six years 20 we'll
known as The Resident Physician OF the Electro
pathic Institute, 645 Washington street, Saw
Francisco, has contemplated retiring from his pos
silon for the purpose Of accepting the position
as Visiting Physician in one of the large hospi-
tails in his native State, Massachusetts, The mat
ter becoming known to Il number of scientific
gentlemen OF San Francisco, who, feeling that
great loss would occur to the community by tho
Withdrawal of physician of such scientific at
tainments as DR.. Josseyn,a a meeting was called
at which resolutions highly laudatory Of the
Doctors abilities were passed and a committee Of
gentlemen appointed to wait upon him. present
the resolutions and urge him to give up his in
tcntion of leaving the State, and continue in his
present position. The arguments Of the commit,
tee facilitated by certain pecunary propositions,
made by the directors Of the Institute, have in
duced the Doctor to retain his position rs Resi-
dent Physician. We announce The success of the
negotiations with satisfaction, as II would have
been difficult for the numerous patients that
heretofore relied on the Doctor for scientific aud
successful treatment TO have found another physi
clan capable of filing his place.

gentlemen who, under the stolen name OF

thority, declare at the approaching August
election, their emphatic condemnation of the

about half a dozen loyal men in Cassville, he
continues:
''We must have from twenty to fifty
men here in Cassville, or else we must get
out of here. This is landing place for

MILITARY RULE IN ME MPHIs.

The terrible scenes of blood and massacre
transpiring in Memphis, furnish most painful
indications Of the state Of feeling existing in
that locality. 1t is only another outbreak Of
the same spirit which caused the unavenged
massacre at Fort Pillow during the war.
The city is now under military authority,
and confagration and massacre will be sus-
pended SO long as the military power of the
United States is exerted to restrain the mur-
derous hatred of the rebels towards the ne
negroes who fought under the flag of the
Union to put down the rebellion.
General Stoneman has issued the follow.
ing circular to the Mayor and Aldermen Of
Memphis:
circumstances compel the undersigned tc
interfere with the civil affairs of Memphis Il
is forbidden for any white persons, without
authority of headquarters, to assemble to-
gether any posse Of armed or unarmed men
either white or colored. This does not in
cude the police, and will not SO long a.
they can be relied upon as preservers of the
peace.
GSigned,] 'sGEO. STONEMAN,
Maj Gen. Com'dg Dist. West Tenn.
The above order is probably called forth by
the fact that the Mayor, John Park, famous
for bibulous propensities, has been on a ter
rible drunk since the riot commenced, and is
therefore unfit to govern the city.
1t is intimated that the police had some
hand in the incendiarism Of the third inst.
Some drunken fellows returning from 9
picnic on the second instant, attacked some
negroes in North Memphis, with pistols
killed one. severely wounded another, and
beat a negress almost to death.
On the third instant the Coroner held ar
inquest on the bodies of nine negroes, and
rendered verdict in accordance with the
facts of their deaths.
negless was roasted alive in one of the
houses burned Exclusive of dwellings, eight
churches and school houses were burned.
Everything has quieted down since the
order of Gen. Stoneman was issued
