meal, and then set off for Rock City, two miles
from the hotel. We passed the extensive
buildings originally used as an Educational
Institute, which was established in 1856 by a
retired merchant of New York, and which had
good attendance for six years, when the
school was closed. Both armies subsequently
used the buildings for hospital purposes, and
disuse since the war has completed the work
of decay and desolation. The property has
been recently purchased by some one, but we
are not informed as to the purposes of its pres
ent proprietor.
Rock City is nothing more nor less than
huge rocks of curious formation, standing in
rows upon the mountains edge. Some of these
rocks are twelve or fifteen feet in height, appa-
rently set upon the ground for a particular
purpose, and all of them covering an area of
several acres. One of the rocks has an almost
perfect form and shape of the elephant, re-
minding us forcibly of the largest specimens Of
that weighty animal.
We have visited other curiosities upon the
mountain, including the natural bridge" :"
which spans narrow chasm, and underneath
which flows mountain rivulet. The expendi-
ture of necessary capital would render Lookout
Mountain second to no resort in America. A
gentleman from Savannah remarked to US this
afternoon that he has visited every famous To-
cality in the United States, and there is no
purer or more bracing atmosphere on the con-
tinent. He thinks the air cannot be equalled
and it is certainly unapproachable by the noted
watering places, generally surrounded by noun
tains, while here one enjoys perpetual breeze,
fresh and pure. far beyond the dampness and
fog of the valley below, and nearly three thou
sand feet above the level of the sea.
A word about Chattanooga, and we viii close
this letter. The directory claims a population
of ten thousand inhabitants, although we are
inclined to doubt the assertion. Four railroads
terminate at this point, and an enormous
amount of freight and travel daily pass through
Chattanooga. The city is rapidly improving,
and the business houses recently constructed
manifest better taste than formerly, while
many of the residences display decent regard
for architectural skill and design. But the To-
cation is unfortunate, and the streets are muddy
and impossible at times. Altogether, Chatta-
nooga has dirty appearance, and the visitor
is struck, nasally, with the smells otherwise
than oderiferous. The most perfect system of
drainage and sewerage could not remedy this
state of things entirely, and our impression is
that the city authorities, for this reason do not
inaugurate reform in this particular, nor med
die at all with the subject, allowing the stencil
to increase and concentrate-to the disgust Of
all right-minded people.
II was our intention to leave for Memphis to-
morrow, but the heavy rains of the last ten
days have washed the railroads in that direc-
ton, and the river is reported still rising. Not
having urgent business, or indeed business of
auy kind, we have concluded to get back into
Georgia, and will probably send the next letter
from Rome. ]. A. 81.

South Carolina Medical College---Rare
ADVANTAGES.

BY way of abstract from the circular OF the
Trustees, we call the attention of medical stu
dents to the offered advantages of this institu-
ton. They offer free course of lectures to
young men of the State who are desirous to
obtain medical education. 1t has heightened
its term of study, and increased the number Of
professional chairs. The determination of the
Faculty to offer during the coming session a
free course of lectures, is based first, upon the
present impoverished condition of the South (;
second, their earnest desire to induce our young
men to stand by their own institutions of learn
ing. The Faculty earnestly appeal to the pro-
fession to extend to them their encouragement
and appreciation. The number of professional
chairs is greater than that Of any other South
ern Medical College, insuring thereby more
comprehensive field of study than can be found
elsewhere. Since the last session two additions
have been made to the faculty. DR.. F. Peyre
Porcher has been called to the chair of Clinical
Medicine. Prof PoEcher is we'll known through
out the South as physician of learning and
ability and having been for many years con-
nected with the different hospitals of the city
as physician and Clinical Lecturer, enters upon
his new field of duty with all the advantages
of long training, untiring energy and great en-
thusiasm for his profession.
The Faculty would call particular attention
to the Clinical advantages at their disposal.
Never in the history of the College have these
been more ample. They would also call atten-
ton to the superior opportunities afforded for
the study of Chemistry. The Laboratory of
Prof. c. U. Shepard, jr., is the most perfect and
complete at the South. The Anatomical and
Pathological Museum, under the charge of the
Professors of Anatomy and of General Pa
thology, consists of valuable collection of
preparations carefully preserved, illustrating
the various arrangements of structure conse-
quent upon disease. The Museum and City
Hospital are regularly open for the inspection
of students during the entire session. The
Faculty is large and able one, and in making
the announcement and offer to medical students
to give q course of lectures free of charge, they
wish it positively and distinctly understood
that they do not intend in the slightest degree
to lower the standard of medical education,
The expenses of the School are: Matricula'
ton Fee, $40; Demonstrators Ticket, $40
Graduation Fee, $50. Good board can be OBJ
tanned in Charleston at as reasonable rates as
in any city of the United States.
We think the time has come when our peo-
pie should patronize their own institutions
and abandon the false idea that they can be
better educated elsewhere. The diseases pecu.
liar to our own climate are the ones that oul
physicians should study most, and this they
cannot do so we'll by going to Northern Col.
leges.

escape recently. One of the party by means of
barriers into the hall. He then opened the cell
Of the others, and they all got down into the
cellar by lifting CRATE, from which they escaped
into the yard through an aperture used TO store
coal away in the cellar. They had duly pro-
vided themselves with ropes made of sheets,
and by means of these they helped each other
over the high wall of the yard The noise made

Coon PREsIDENT.--General Grant makes
an excellent President-one of the best the
country ever had. Under his administration
: the national debt is being rapidly reduced--hon-
esty and capacity are required in all public Off
cers,-the laws faithfully inforeed-property and
life rendered secure in all the States-the credit
of the country sustained at home and abroad,
while prosperity prevails on every hand. Dem
ogogues and men longing for offices of honor
and profit alone arc dissatisfied. If it were not
for them single complaint would not be utter
ed. Theirmisrepresentation their gross libels,
and their perfdity cannot seriously effect Cen
erll Grant. His reputation rests ON acts which
cannot be gainsaid-on events which cannot be
blotted out of history. His military record is
one OF the most brilliant in the annals of the
world-not being marred by single defeat
and yet il Is characterized by the greatest mod.
esty, There is no arrogance, no vanity, ne
ambitious display, no injustice to generals oi
soldiers, aud iii this respect it is unparalleled
similar record will yet he made of his civi
service. When the tongue of slander has beer
silenced, when pcrfidy and ambition are nC
longer stimulated by hopes Of aggrandizement,
Justice will be done, and General Grant will ht
regarded by all as not only the first among Gen
erals, but the first among Statesmen and patri
