The faculty of the Medical College Of
Ohio have issued card in relation to the
recent violation Of the grave Of the Hon. j.
Scott Harrison. They say tnat unjust lcgis-

point out, is not lawful, and yet anatomical
knowledge is required of all who practice
medicine and surgery. Although the Ohio
legislature few years ago passed an act
permitting the use for dissection Of the
bodies Of strangers and paupcrs, yet that
act was rendered practically imperative
by provision that such use should not he

MNOR-GENERAL BRTNT0N, of the First
Division Pennsylvania Militia, and his staff
have resigned. General Brinton, says the
st. Louis Times, is the officer who was in
command of the troops at Pittsburg in July
last, who fired upon the citizens, killing
some thirty or forty, which act no one has,
as yet, assumed to be responsible for, and
which did more than all other causes com
bined TO bring about the unfortunate de-
struction of property that Immediately fol-
lowed the firing by the troops. The citi-
zens Of Pittsburg generally and pcrsis-
tcntly maintain that had there been
no firing upon the citizens, in all prob
ability there would have been no
property destroyed, and certainly no
such extent of destruction ensucd. From
these considerations, and as no reasons are
given for the designations, it is prcsumablc
that the popular indignation which grew up
in the State against General Brinton has
became too strong for him to withstand.
and hence he has used the better part of
valor, discretion, and resigned. 1t is also
stated that Brigadicr- General Loud and
his staff have also resigned and that other
designations will probably follow. These
last designations, it is said, grew out of
the manner in which the parties were
treated during last summers riots by their
superior officers. Perhaps when the bot
tenn facts shall have been developed. it
may appear that the strikers however

At one o'clock the Deputy Sergeant st-Arms of
