sCIENrIrIC PROFEssoRsuIps.

At the recent annual meeting of the
Board of Visitors of the University of Vir-
ginia, Mr.. Frank p. DunningtoD, of this
city, was elected Adjunct Professor Of Ana
lytical Chemistry in that institution. Mr..
Dunnington has been student oftbe Uni
versity, of which he is a graduate, for five
years, and was twelve months ago the sue
cessful competitor for the Miller scholar
ship in the departments of analytical and
applied chemistry and agricultural eDgi-
neering. During the year just closed he
has devoted himself with ability and sue
cess to original investigation. In the posi-
ton TO which he has been called in the noble
foundation of Thomas Jefferson much may
be hoped from his future labors in the
cause of science.
Mr.. Dunnington is the second student
from Baltimore of the University of Vir-
sinia who has within short time been
elected to a chair of chemical science, the
other being Prof. II. G. White, of st. Johns
College, Annapolis. A fellow student Of
both these gentlemen-Mr. j. r. Adger, of
South Carolina-has just been called to the
adjunct professorship of chemistry in the

GOV CnRTIN,a POSITION.

There is no longer auv doubt, in regard
TO the course which eX Gov. Curtin intends
10 pursue, in the Presidential campaign.
Letters have been recently received from
him. in which be announced his purpose to
support Mr.. Greeley, and TO canvass the
State of PENNSYLVANIA for him, as soon as
he returns home next month. he also
states, that he had determined year ago,
TO oppose Grant, in consequence Of hisloD-
jectionable conduct and unttness, even it
he had been obliged to support an old-fash-
ioned Democrat in opposition TO his re-elec-
tiOn. y
Although the vote of Pennsylvania is con-
sidered certain for Buckalew in October,
and necessarily for Greeley IN November,
this accession wifi serve to swell the popu-
lar current and to give it increased volume.
Gov. Curtin has been out of the country
for several years aud free from all the PEI
sonal controversies, which have arisen in
That time. Consequently, his judgment
NAV be regarded as impartial, and formed
without the influence of any of those mo-
tiyes which have perhaps unconsciously al
fected others in public life. 81
II is the more remarkable from she fact,
that he was one of the original and most
ardently devoted friends of Gen. Grant.
He has no griefs to resent and has made no
complaints. The President promptly ten
dered him one of the highest diplomatic
honors, which he is about TO relinquish of
his own accord. When men occupying the
position and the relations of Gov. Curtin,
are forced TO such a conclusion as he has
reached, there must be some great provok-
ing cause. He was a "War Governor a
devoted Republican, and what is called ga
Grant man." Now, he voluntarily sewers
official and personal ties, and from a sense
oF patriotic duty joins the Liberal move
ment. in which the best men Of both the
Odd parties, have buried their former differ
ei cs.s and strnck hands TO redeem the
country. We welcome Gov. Curtin most
heartily. Washington Patriot, July p.

THE CROPS.

The McAIinnvine Nes1 Era of the 25th
inst. says that the weather for the past few
DAYS has been such that our farmers have
been enabled TO thresh the most Of their
wheat. 1t is found that the injury to the
crop, by reasons Of the late excessive rains,
is small.
The Fayetteville Observer of the 25th
inst. says: The rain has seriously damaged
the wheat that is still in shocks. 1t is
spfouting to considerable extent. Some
grain has been sacked when too damp, and
il has spoiled in consequences. Several car
loads were returned to Tullahoma last
week, we are told, spoiled, to be returned
to the producers. One farmer has had 300
bushels of his growth. for which he received
s15O per bushel, sent back to him, with a
prospect for a suit for damages. These
facts show the Importance OF having the
grain well dried before selling.
