Editors Journal You will be pleased to
learn that the annual meeting Of the State
Medical Society, held here during the pres
ent week, is one Of the best ever held i'll
the State in the last sixteen years of its ex
istence. The best, not alone in numbers,
amount of work done, valuable materials
added to the noble structure of Medical
science and Medical literature in North
Carolina, but also in the fact that the Med
ical gentlemen III attendance, occupy high
aud useful positions among the most de-
voted, intellectual, skillful and accom-
plished in the Medical profession. There
have been about fifty physicians in attend
ance from various portions Of the State,
and the fine spirit of harmony that has pre-
vailed the noble purpose manifested Of
doing all in their power TO advance Medj-
cal science, and to improve the Medical
profession in this day of general depression
and decentralization, reflects credit upon
these worthy disciples of Esculapius, and
augurs well for the continued prosperity,
honor, and usefulness of the North Caro-
lima Medical Society. The next annual
meeting will be held in Warrenton. in May,
1868
The interesting discussions that were had
from day to day on subjects of practical
Importance in Medicine and Surgery, the
numerous valuable papers read on the diff
ferent branches of practice, the enter
change of medical views and experience
among SO many medical men from various
sections of the State, and the social feel
ings engendered by the meeting, illustrate
most forcibly the great value and impor-
lance to the science and profession of med
icine Of voluntary medical associations like
this, which has done SO much to improve
the sciene and literature of the profession,
and to elevate the standard of the same in
our State. Among the most valuable pa
pers read, may be mentioned those from
DIR. r. Fl. Winborne, Of Chowan. DIR.
Charles O'Hagan, Of Pitt, DIR. E. Burke
Haywood, of Raleigh, and Drs. Thomas F.
Wood and William George Thomas, of
Wilmington. DIR. Woods paper OF vac
cination and small pox, was well prepared
and of much interest and shows him to be
entitled to be ranked among the talented
and rising young members of the profess

Tne Medical Convention.

It gives us much pleasure to publish the
interesting account of the Medical Conven-
ton which met in Tarboro' last week, fur
nished by gentleman in attendance. and
to chronicle its great success. We have al
ways been earnest advocates of the mem
bers of the Medical Profession associating
themselves together for the protection and
advancement of Medical Science. It has
always been required of law students, how
ever highly recommended they may be by
law schools and law instructors, to stand
the test of an examination, both as to char.
acter and proficiency, before the Supreme
Court of the State before they were permit
ted to practice but until recently, and
changed then by the earnest endeavors of
the Medical Society, young men, with
diplomas from any Medical School, whatev-
ever ayhaEe been their proficiency, or the
standing of the school, were permit
ted to practice medicine with per-
feet impunity and to the public detriment.

copy of the MEMOIR of Rev. john l..
PnIcHA8D late Pastor Of the First Baptist
Church, Wilmington, \. G., by Rev. j.. D.
HuFHA1I. IT is a well written memoir Of II
pious and noble man, who sacrificed him
self for the welfare of The people Of this
city during the terrible scourge of 1862.
The closing days Of the life Of Mr. Prlct-
ard are most painfully interesting, and the
history of our city during the continuance
of the yellow fever. as cont&ined III the
correspondence of this gentleman, is
most graphic and striking. Ghe work
must prove of great interest to every citi

The profits accruipS from the sale OF the

the 8th inst, the iceberg disappeared, but
some damage, as the signals through this
cable became imperfect and had now ceased.
The cable of 1865, however. was rlnin-
paired, and its capacity exceeds the re-
quirements of the business, great as it is,
between the continents. The opinion is
expressed that the Injury to tho cable of
1866 will be repaired without delay or any
considerable expense.

Tho Society resolved to abandon the
custom of indiscriniDate credits. All pro
fessions and business men nave abandoned
the credit system, and the Society conclu-
ded that, except under certain clrcum-
stances involving cases unable to pay down,
the Medical profession should pursue d
like course. The Society also recommen-
Ied to the profession i'll each locality of the
State to adopt uniform rates Of charging,
modified by The pecuniary abilities Of pa
tients aud the clainl8 Of charity and hui
uanitv. Such uniformity implics not 0re''-

THE MOBILE RIOT,

A most regretable state of feeling is
springing up in the Southern cities, which
threatens to complicate matters already
sufficiently difficult, and to still further de
lay and embarrass the restoration of the
Union. Tho riot at Mobile on Monday
evening, following close upon the negro
riots at Richmond and New Orleans, chal-
lenges inquiry into the cause of these most
untoward disturbances They tend not
tween the North and the South, but to set
race against race throughout the Southern
States.
The interruption of Judge Kelley's
speech at Mobile, and the breaking up of
the meeting assembled to hear it, might, if
considered alone, be susceptible of color
ing which would represent the South as

gives three days on all its drafts, if
the bank was pressed it was easy
enough to 60 on the street if they
had good security. They took a
million of Government money so de-
posted with them and loaned it to
the Government for the Govern
ment's own bonds, and received
therefor $50. 900 more interest in
gold for the loan to the Government
of its own money, which in currency
was equal to $l20, 1000. So that,
when we come finally to balance the
books, the Government is paying
