.'With the necessary requisitions. During the Summer of 1832, the trustees in accor dance with the charter, organized a facul* ty ; and the following Winter operations . were commenced with a class of 27—and at the termination of the session, four re ceived the degree of M. D. From the Legislature of 1833, the trus tees received a donation of SIO,OOO, and ’ •dVdm- the City Council of Augusta, $5,000 fre ; also, they were presented witli a lot the trustees of Richmond Academy, ’ upon which to erect an edifice. With the . sfs ,000, aud lot thus appropriated, the I trustees erected the beautiful College edi •* fice now standing at the corner of Wasli ington and Telthir streets,which is equally remarkable for its conveniency—the adap tion of its purpose—and its beauty. The fc*facultyi£)tmmenccd the Winter of’33 and ,’34, (their second session,) with a class of 37-*-at the end of the term, the doctorate was conferred upon 15 approved candi dates. , Several* interesting features occurred this year in this infant institution, which t(f distinguish, her from her sisters of known and acknowledged merit—l allude to the proposition she made to the various Colleges in the Union, to establish a pro tected and uniform course of instruction. Her faculty perceiving the defects of medi cal education in this country, especially of the qualifications of candidates for the ho nors of the profession, addressed in the - spring of ’34, a circular to the several in our country,’ recommending a national convention, for the purpose of amending the defects alluded to ; the num ber of delegates, time of sitting, &c., was left, in compliment, to the University of Pennsylvania. The proposition, cmenat ing from this then infimt institution, was .heartily responded to by some; but we re add, was most unceremoniously re jected, by the University of Pennsylvania, the oldest school in America; and one which can truly be called the Alma mater of the others. But to use the language of a distinguished professor, “Posterity will judge of that act which has deliberately rejected medical reformation at the present day, and that in a country too, where, from the grossest abuses ia Medicine, its practice has almost ceased to be honorable among men. Spirits ofShippen, Wistar, and Rush, thou tinflft honored father of American sur gery, upoa whom have your mantles fallen.”* With these few characteristic features, * “was ushered in the lecture term of 34 & 35; and with it came a class of about 40, and its graduates consisted of 15. A second application was made to the .legislature of 1835 for pecuniary aid, and it was most generously granted, by the -State’s giving to the College, her interest . resulting from the sale of the increased stock of the_Bank of Augusta, valued at twenty-five thousand dollars; This at once relieved the .faculty of their responsibilities and placed the College in a prosperous con ■■ dition. The faculty and trustees were dis appointed in the completion of the College edifice, according to contract, and were al so deprived of the services of the professor of Physiology and Pathology, by his departure for Europe; from these circumstances, the ‘-“tSfissof ’35 and ’36, amounted to only 32, ’ and its graduates 8. This has been, we are happy to state, the only check to the progress of the College, from its commence ment, to the time of the decrease of the class, and this was indubitably attributa ble to the causes we have just enumerated. But the session of’36 and ’37, made ample compensation for this diminution. The Class this season amounted to 40—gradu ates 1% * The number of students in attendance, in the winter of ’37 and ’3B, we do not pre cisely recollect, suffice it to say a larger ,class attended, than the preceding. The faculty were animated with the fond hope a large class for the lecture . term of ’3B and 39, and it will be gratifying t every friend of the Institution to learn, that their most sanguine expectations were fully realized. The session opened with a class of 60. The number of approved candidates for the Doctorate was 12 ; We “have now arrived a period in the history of the most interesting part of our narrative; as it embraces the latter days of our pupil age. We well recollect leaving this Insti tution full of enthusiasm, and entertaining the fond hope of meeting a large class at the ensuing lecture term. The faculty, from the encouragements they had received, and the success with which their labors had been crowned, were impressed with a sim ilar belief; indeed the friends of the insti tution entertained not the least doubt of its But how evanescent are all ter- affairs ! ere the summer had passed, death had made some rapid strides in the city of Augusta, and among these, it had levelled its shaft at a shining mark; at one . whom the medical profession delighted to honor; one whose moral qualities, united to his intellectual powers, constituted the ’"Dr. Physick. charm of his character. It was these that rendered him one of the most interesting men, that endeared him so much to his friends, and won the confidence and esteem of all who became acquainted with him.— An'unkind word never escaped his lips; an unkind feeling never found a place in his bosom. He was susceptible of all the ten der sympathies of life. He knew how to impart happiness to his friends, and to cheer the drooping spirit of the downcast stu dent. Such was the character of Dr. Milton Antony. No one ever had greater cause for wishing to live, and no one could bo more ready to die. During his life he was the comfort and pride of his friends; and in his death the Medical profession has been deprived of an ornament; society of a valuable member, and science one of its profoundest votaries. But he has left his profession and friends, with the full hope and consolation, that he has gone to inher it a crown of overlasting glory. We trust the reader will pardon our short digression. But notwithstanding the loss, the almost irreparable loss, the institution had sus tained in the death of its founder,there were yet difficulties of a more serious nature to contend with. The lecture term had near ly arrived, three of the faculty were almost at death’s door, and a fourth in Europe, the stern monster which had just invaded their ranks, was abating but slowly, if at all; un der all these circumstances, their feelings could not be otherwise than despondent; the Institution which they had cherished so long, and which was just beginning to oc cupy an enviable stand among the Colleges of the land, had now received a shock, from which many thought it would never recover; just at this moment when despair and consternation was pervading the whole faculty, the indefatigable professor of Sur gery arrived from Europe, he immediately perceived the state of the Institution, and he knew what was to be done, must bedone instanter; he called a meeting of the facul ty who were able to attend, and he resolv ed with their concurrence, to commence the 25th day of November. Time rolled rapidly on, and as the day of commence ment gradually approached, “kind heav en smiled upon the good cause and bid the ft 11 monster depart.” The long wished for day arrived, and with it came 54 of the gallant and patriot ic sons of the South ; the gloomy aspect of the College now disappeared; hope took the place ofdespair; the feelings of the facul ty were now animated with the anticipation of future success. “ True hope is swift and flies oh swallows’ wings, Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures Kings.” • We can at this time recall, painfully* re call, the bitter emotions with which we were impressed, upon our entrance into the Col lege edifice; the scene was one of gloom and despair, and just as we entered the building, the recollections of former days were vividly portrayed to our imagination ; we then thought while viewing with a mel ancholy reflection the old College Campus, “Os the friends, who had strolled with us there; * When the sky was so blue, and the flowers so fair, All scattered, all-sundered, by mountain and wave, And some in the silent embrace, of the grave.” I can now recollect with exquisite plea sure, how rapidly my despondent feelings passed away, when my mind became occu pied in listening to, and reflecting on, the doctrines so ably inculcated by the profes sors of this Institution. Thus passed off’ the session of ’39 and ’4O, and a delightful one it was, and one that witt be remember ed by every member of that class ; as long as the vital spark continues to exist with in his bosom. The course rolled off’ harmoniously to the students, and with hon or to the professors; at the end of the term the Doctorate was conferred upon 18 ap proved candidates. The course of instruction adopted in this Institution, we conceive to be infinitely superior to that adopted in any other country. There are 4 lectures daily upon as many different subjects ; by this arrange ment the student can devote the entire evening to dissection, and thereby save himself many hours of nocturnal toil and labor. The course which was formerly six months, was shortened on account of the refusal of the other Colleges to co-ope rate. The professors yet think it offers the best system of instruction to students. Ne cessity alone forced them to a change; they however endeavor, and we think satisfacto rily, to make ample amends by addressing the eye as well as the ear. Among the advantages held out by this Institution to students of Medicine, not the least impor tant is the Medical society of Augusta.— This highly respectable body meets every two weeks in the library room of the. Col lege. The business of the society is to hear essays read, and Medical subjects discussed, by its members, which are, by the by, very edifying to‘the student. The city hospital presents A variety of interest ing cases for the consideration of the stu dent, whose attention is always directed tot them by the professor gratuitously. The CoMcge has also connected with it a splendid Anatomical Museum, possessing many rare, and beautiful specimens; and surpassed by none perhaps in the country/’ The Chemical apparatus is costly, and am ply sufficient for the performance of the various demonstrations connected with that interesting science. We now advert to the last, but not the least important feature, the department of practical anatomy. And here we may as sert, without the fear of a successful con tradiction ; the facilities offered by this Institution for the cultivation of this part of our profession are not surpassed by any other College in America ; besides the ad vantages already enumerated, there are other considerations which should induct; Southern students, apart from’ that state pride which should glow in every patriots, bosom, to patronize this our own institution. We would merely inquire of every ingen uous person, where would or could he so thoroughly investigate the diseases of a southern climate, as in that climate; can it be for a moment supposed that a southern student could study file disease ofthe South, their type, symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, &c., with the same advantage in Philadel phia, as he could in Augusta? the subject will admit of no argument; the idea is ut terly absurd, yea, an ox might as well en endeavor to sport upon the ocean, or a fish to graze upon a plain, as a southern stu dent to attempt to learn the diseases of Afric’s sable sons in a Northern school. We have extended our remarks, much farther than we designed, but we hope the. importance ofthe subject will be a suffi cient apology for our prolixity. In conclusion,tve must not omit a glance at the individual character of each of our professors. Dr. Newton of the Anatomical chair, is a profonnd anatomist, and a ripe scholar. Dr. Dugas ofthe Physiological chair stands deservedly high as a physiologist. Drs. Ford and J. A. Eve, of the depart ments of Practice and Obstetrics, are men of erudition and high scientific attainments. Drs. Garvin and West of the chairs of Theropeutics and Chemistry, we know nothing of but from report, and that speaks highly of their talents. Dr. Paul F. Eve, of the surgical depart ment, we presume it would be useless for us to speak, his name as an operative sur geon, is identified with the most distinguish- ■ ed of our country. He is now importing from Paris all kinds ofsurgical apparatus, for the benefit of the student and other mem bers of the profession v.'.ho wish to purchase. Surgeons would do well to give him a call. We have now finished our task, we are aware that we have not done the subject the justice which it demanded, but should this imperfect sketch of this worthy Institution awaken the members of our profession to the importance of its support, my object will be accomplished and my design con summated. ADOLPHUS. Ruckersville, Nov. 15, 1840. Hard Times. —A Loco Foco, the other evening, bragging of a pair of pantaloons, said they were made in real democratic hard times. A Whig standing by, who ob served that they were made part of wool and part of cotton, observed, he supposed they ll must be nothern pantaloons with southern principles., Conflagraton of the stars. —During the last two or three centuries, upwards of thir teen fixed stars have disappeared. One of them situated in the northern Hemisphere, presented peculiar prilliancy, and was so bright as to be seen by the naked eye, at mid-day. It seemed to be on fire, appear ing at first of a dazling white, then of a red dish yellow, and lastly of an ashy pale color. La Place supposes that it was burn ed up, as it has never been seen since. The conflagration was visible sixteen mon ths. How dreadful ! A whole system on fire, the great central luminary and its plan efs with their plains, mountains, forests ci ties, villages, and inhabitants, all in flames, consumed and gone forever. Salt Riper. —We arc happy to state to our Van Buren brethren that the naviga tion of Salt river is in exceleut order-the whole stream perfectly boa table. We found it very pleasant coming down a few days since; and we doubt not that, all things considered, the upward navigation will be safe. As it regards the settlement, we may say, from a great many years’ resi dence, that it is comfortable and retired. The quarters whicli our party ocupied—a party proverbial for making themselves comfortable—will be opened to the Van Buren men, we commend to them that agreeable philosophy which we learned and practised in those green retreats; and as it regards our future movements, we say that, having rowed up the Salt River our opponents, we reserve the same canoe for ourselves whenever our country’s cause shall so needour rowing up.— Phil. Gazette. A Discovery. —Some three or four weeks since a party offanners assembled together at a mound on the premises of Dr Hughes for the purpose of digging into the same mound, and ascertaining what it contained. They accordingly commenced • operations, and after digging some three feet below the surface of the mound, they came to a layer of hard oartli, similar to brick. On breaking through this layer, they were not a little surprised to find a largo roll of old “Continental Bills,” nearly enveloped in an untuned Buffalo Skin; On further search a number of ancient coins were found composed chiefly of zinc, brass, copper *knd pewter. But what is most remarkable an iron time piece was found nearly at the bottom ofthe mound. This watch or time piece, was marked on the inside “Pela Lon rehe, Patre 1300,” and on the back of it was engraved “bonvivant.” The watch weighs twenty-eight ounces, and is some what rusted. The works are-composed of brass and steel, and it is similar in style and make to the English hunter’s watch of this day. Several other articles were found, the names of which our informant did not recollect.— Cincinnati/ Ledger. Texas. —The expense for supporting the Texan Navy, with its present number of vessels, is estimated at $571,879 59. There are eleven papers published in Texas, and all, with the exception of the Austin City Gazette, are warmly advocating the neces sity of immediately sending the navy to sea with fighting orders. They hold that noth ing but decisive and direct bellicose opera; tions will bring Mexico to Acknowledge the; independence of the young Republic.— Philad Gazette. The elder Adams, was ejected after one term by the People for his Federal meas ures. The younger Adams was ejected af ter the same time, for imputed Federalism unjust though the charge was. Van Buren like his Federal predecessors, lias been doomed to the same bard fate, for his more than Federalism, by the greatest popular majority ever exhibited in any contest in this country. The People of this country are Republi cans, and they will never toleate Federal men and Federal measures.— Richmond Whig. Philosophy. —The Editor of the Boston Pofct acknowledges the defeat of his party, arid bears it like a man. He says “If you are doomed to be whiped, there is a satisfaction even in having it done so effectually that therfc is no mistake about it—we do not like any of your hatfand half business—give us a decided triumph ora decided defeat.” The whigs behave very well about their victory—they were as polite and good na tured yesterday as gentlemen need be, and the democrats evinced that cheerfullness which ever accompanies a conscientious discharge of duty. To all those with whom we have bet—please call one at a time approaching our office from Washington street, and departing though Congress street keeping in a line, so as not to block up the highway. The Bunker Hill Monument. —We have the pleasure of announcing, says the Boston Courier, that contracts for completing the Monument of Bunker Hill, were yesterday by the contractor, Mr. James S. Sav ojfo , on the one part, and by the President of the Monument Association on the other. It is specified that the Motiumerrj shall be ; completed agreeably to theoriginaT design, by the first of October, 1844, for the sum of $43,800- Mr. Savage, will commence operation at the quarry, immediately and will begin to lay the stone as early as possi ble in the ensuing spring. PROFESSOR BONNYCASTLE. A letter from Virginia announces the death of this distinguished mathematician. He was the author of several valuable ele mentary works on Algebra, Geometry, and Mensuration. THE GREAT EVENT. The election of Gen. Harrison—the tri umph of the People over an Administration, which felt power and forgot right, is the greatest event which has occurred in this country since the capture of Cornwallis at York Town. All its great, and varied and blessedeffects cannot be appreciated by the present generation. It is, as it deserves to be, the theme of all tongues, the topic of discourse in every circle—Men exhaust their powers of eulogy in lauding it—their imaginations in vain essay to shadow forth all the happy consequences—Posterity a “lone will be able to realize all the positive and negative blesleings which will flow from it. But we can all see enough to fill Our souls with rapture, and our hearts with thankfulness to that Great Being, by whose aid alone we have been able to work out our ‘deliverance. The first, the greatest, the chieftest good, Which instantaneously results, which we can all see and feel, is the rescue of the Republic from despotism—frorii standing armies and a Government Bank—the re buke of bad men and wicked measures, and the consequent restoration of good mor als—the arrest of usurpation, aud the con sequent revival and diffusion throughout the body of the people ofthe glorious spirit of freedom, which animated the people of the Revolution. The next result, and only second to this, and of the very essenceofgood Government is that the People will be let alone —will fie left to pursue tlveir own happiness audpros perity after their own way—without inter ference or hindrance from Government.— Next to the usurpations and shameless out rages upon public and private honesty, which have characterized the faction in power; they have by no other one means wrought so great mischief to the people of this country as by their constant intermed dling with the private pursuits of every in dividual in the land. No man for years hgs rested his head upon his pillow at night without, some apprehension, that before morning some movement of Government would impair his fortune or that of some of his friends. This has been the case with the entire mercantile community of the country, and by consequence with every other class whose interests were necessari ly involved with -.that. This thank God will be the case no longer. This odious feature, borrowed from the Turkish system, and sought to be implanted upon our insti tutions, will go out of existence along with Martin Van Buren and tin; public plunder ers by whom In; is surrounded, on the 4th of March next. The people, will he let alone , which is all they ask : Governfiient will return to its proper channel, and confine itself to its legitimate duties—the supervis ion ofthe general welfare, and the protec tion of individuals in the lawful pursuit of individual happiness. Let the shout of triumph and the song of rejoicing go throughout the land for our great deliverance.— Richmond Whig. REMINISENCE IN REAL LIFE. A correspondent says that there is at present an eccentric hut extraordinary la dy, in the happiness of a “green old age,” residing in this neighborhood, and who en joys the salubrious atmosphere aud healthy scenery ofthe Exe with all the gratifica tion of a blooming maiden just out of her teens. Among a variety of interesting sketches of her history, he says that, when young, this lady was remarkably beautiful and attracted many chivalrous youths, who eagerly sought her hand, pressing their suit with all the ardour of a “first love.” A mong these was a gallant officer, whose attentions Were .disregarded, the fair one \ telling him'plainly that shq~ l ‘could ‘pot like 1 him.” The son of Mars however, was not to be put off so easily, and, he importuned the choice of his heart till she consented to go to church ! The happy morning arriv ed, every thing having been prepared on the part ofthe anxious and expectant bride groom ; the church doors wore opened; the bride kept her word, and was punctual ly in attendance; the clergyman was at the altar; and tho nuptial ceremony was commenced. Whin, however, the minis ter put the vital question, “Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband ?” the young lady replied audibly, “No; I will not.” The clergyman thought she bail made a mistake in the incitement ofthe mo ment, and said, “You are wrong, Miss, you should have said, ‘I mill.’ ” “I am not wrong, sir,” was the prompt answer, “I will not.” The clergyman and the bride groom in expectancy were astonished, and the former said, “Do you mean to persist in tliis ? because if you do, I cannot proceed with the ceremony.” The young lady said, “I do mean to persist; I will not, I tell j you.” The reverend gentleman then re ! monst rated with her on the impropriety of trifling in a matter of such importance ; to which the young maiden’s answer was, “I have frequently told him I would not be fore; but he,would not take ‘No’ for an an swer, and now I suppose he is satisfied.”— Then, looking at the gallant officer, she coo’y said, “Good morning, sir,” and was afterwards wooed by a young son of Cris pin, whom she did like; but she had no property ; & as his stock in trade, lapstone and all, were of little value, there was a difficulty as to their getting settled'. At length, however, by the help of a Friend, they obtained £5 ; and, having been law fully united, they commenced trade in a stall. The lucky husband was soon ena bled to change his line of business, and | from a small hawker of books became the largest bookseller in London. That fortu nate mun, reader, was the celebrated Lack ington ! At length the princely bookseller died, leaving his widow in good health, and with a weighty dowry. She did ,ot . to approve of “single blessedhess;” for -imv his death she has been the viilb of three husbands, the latter of whom died sramc short time since. She has again cast aside her “weeds,” and is now as active, pleas ant, and amiable as ever.— Woolrner’s Ex eter Gazette. The Bible—the echoic Bible—and nothing but the Bible. —One of the most singular and extraordinary instances of fanaticism that has fallen to our lot to record occurred on Monday in Ship-street. A man named Molley, whose family and connections are said to be respectable, has devoted for some years the greater part of his time in read ing tho scriptures, and interpreting their meaning as his own fancy dictated, until he worked himself up to a pitch of religious fanaticism which ended in the most deplor able manner. He was particularly struck with the 29th and 30th verses of the sth chapter of St. Matthew, and whether in the house or in the street, at his employment or otherwise, repeated them over and over a gain, “And if thy right eye offend thee pluck it out, and cast it from thee, lor it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that tliy whole body should be cast into hejj,—“Aud if thy right hand offend thee cut if'off, and east it from thee,for it is profitable,&c. OnMonday even ing he shut himself up in his room, and ac tually fulfilled the counsel given in these passages to the very letter, by plucking out his right eye with a knife, “and casting it from him,” and afterwards cutting off his right hand !! Shortly after the commission of the act he was found extended on the floor (whese lie had fallen from loss of blood) in tlie most dreadful agony;but to the many inquiries made as to what could induce him to inflict such frightful injuries upon himself, he replied that he only obeyed the command given in the Bible,—the word of God—&. earned, by so doing, an everlasting crown of glory, lie also quoted various texts of scripture to show he was bound to fulfil the command of God, even as Abra batn did when he brought forth his son Isaac to offer him up as a sacrifice. The unfor tunate man was immediately removed to the Meath Hospital, where he now lies in a precarious state. Anecdote of Bonaparte. —ln the midst of a dreadful cannonading,Bonaparte stood lean ing, nearly exhausted with several days’ hard fatigue, against the carriage wheel of a cannon, and was in the act of taking a pinch of his favorite stimulant from the box of an officer, when a cannon-shot came and killed the latter on the spot. Without moving a limbo, a muscle of has counte nance, except in pity to his fallen friend, Bonaparte turned to another, and asked if lie-had a box:; “ fbr,”saidihe, “our friend, I suppose, has taken his with him.” We have it on the authority of some of the Northern papers, that a portion of tin : Administration party have rallied thus ear ly under the banner of General Winfield Scott, for the next Presidency ofthe United States.— Star. Prom the Sav. Republican of Friday. \ important from Florida. We have hern kindly permitted to rea . a letter from an officer ofthe army in Flor ida, which states that the armistice is brok en up, no arrangements having been enter ed into between the commanding Genera! and the Chiefs who proposed to treat with him.

Hakiuson returned to the city last evening, accompanied by General Vail Rensselaer of New York, and Major Cark son and Col. Todd. The meeting of Generals Harrison and Van Rensselaer, at Columbus, was deeply affecting. They had been Captains under Wayne ; they fought together at the mem orable victory ol the Maumee, and through out a long and eventful life have been de voted friends. Their military services and sacrifices give them the first claims to the gratitude oftheir country. General Van Rensselaer commanded a troop of Dragoons on the 20th August, 1794, and received a desperate wound through the lungs. In the late war, he led a gallant body of troops to tlie assault upon the heights of Queens town, he stormed and carried the enemy’s batteries. Upon this occasion, the distin guished General Brock fell, and Van Rens selaer received six severe wounds upon bis. body, it is scarcely necessary to remind’ our readers of the disgraceful fact, that all these services and all these wounds euald not protect (lie gallant soldier from the proscriptive system of M.
