Thursday Morning, Dec. 29, 1859. Jkulheru Medical Students at the North. A very important movement has bem made by a large number of aludenis at the Medical Collegea of Pbiladoiphia, and it ie quite piobabla that it will bo followed up by many othcra in other Northern citiev. It that aomo of the atudenta took part in the recent tiotoua demonstrations in Philadelphia growing out of the conflict between the ultra lilack Republicans and the conservative*. Several, of them were arrested as rioters and bound over itt large sums. This exasperated the Southern stu dents generally, who regarded their course as an effort to preserve perce nod order, and not to violate it. They bald a meeting on Tuesday of hat week, with dosed doois, about four hundred attending. At this meeting a number of dtspstehes and hitlers were read ; aume of which advised an im mediate e**p«r»ti#r, while others, especially •ooit I'fjrn Southern Senators at Washing- tun, advised lue sloJcnt* “not#to mix in politics, but to remaiii where they were.” A dispatch from Gov. Wire informed them that the crtiR-B* of Richmond wouid receive them w i|b o| ru arms; other dispatches from Richmond advised them that drafts for $1,000 had been sent for the purpose of defraying incidental expenses, and that they would bt •xeoived in Richmond with mili tary bon •». The result was, that Korthera Opposition or Douglaa Democratic votes! Immaculate patriots! The question now presents simply this alternative, Shall a Uiack Republican or a Mouthern Oppositionist be ducted’ and the decision is with the Democracy. They have had, and rrjcctcd, several chances to elect a Southern American—they hate never given the Southern Opposition a sin- glo chance to elect a Democrat—and they keep up a hopeless contest, with Sherman on tho very vergo of an election end a majority of the House (composed of Black Repubiicans and Douglas DemrcraW) ready to vote for the plurality rule as soon as the question can be taken. It is then lore apparent that the struggle must end ill the election of a lilack Republican by either a j Tho first majority or plurality. Political Meeting at \Vnehlugton.

They arrived in Richmond on Thursday, and were recemd by the students of the Richmond Mediral College in a body, accompanied by large delegations of several Southern Right! Associations, a large military cortege, brass band, Ac. A procession was formed and marched to the rquare in front of the Gov ernor’s residence, where, after "three cheers for Gov. Wise,” he appeared on the front porch urd addressed them in a character istic, stirring speech, which was responded to by one ol the students from Philadelphia. They were then inarched to the Medical College and welcomed by the Faculty. To what extent this movement will be participated in by Houihern atudenta at other Northern colleges, it is as yet difficult to tell. At Philadelphia, a local and per sonal excitement existed to enhance the growing disinclination to patronize North ern institutions, aad it culminated in inten sity there. In New York, a meeting waa held to consider ibe propriety of adopting a similar couise there; a large majority, it is said, determined not to* follow up the Philadelphia movement, hut doubtless many students In tbat and other Northern cities will follow it up on their individual respon sibility. It can hardly fail, at least, to have the effect of materially lessening.hercaffrr the number of Southern atudenta who go North to attend medical lectures; in this rcapoet it will tend to foster and elevate the character of our Southern Medical Colleges, and very soon, no doubt, a salutary effect upon the general praciico will retail from graduation at colleges in which the diseases of the South eru especially studied and treated of.

Out, notwithstanding the teaching of ibis disas trous experiment, there sre agitators who seem determined to renew it on other the atres. Mr. Pl’«h, the Democratic Senator from.Ohio, has introduced resolutions seek ing a repeal of those provisions of tho Territorial bills of Utah and Now Mexico which require tho supervision of their Ter ritorial legislation by Congress! Tho object is to license squatter sovereignty in those Territories also, and to lay the foundation for a new slavery agitation. It will preaent an isauo upon which the Douglas Democ racy may go before the Charleston Conven tion, lirebrsnd in hsud, and if defeated there, it affords a common principlo of union in the Presidential election between them and the Uiack Republicans. Mr. Pugh is a "National” Democrat, but there ia no doubt that every Douglas Democrat in Con gress will sustain his movurooiit, ami per haps the Ulsck Republicans as s party. He accompanies its introduction with o speech censuring the removal of Judge Douglas from the Choirmanahip of the Committee on Territories by tho last Congress, end there aro other indications of his intention to ally himself with the Douglss squad. The question is one rife with agitation and daligar, and we trust that the Mouth as n unit will resist the repeal. gol'TR Carolina.—Tho Legislature of South Carolina adjournml tine (lie on the 21st inst.

EPAIEINO & trPHOLSTEEIEG! ,, ^Wpared la Repair FDltNITCUR or all kinds I dispatch, aDo Upholstered Democracy tlitl Dot know that a portion of the Northern Opposition were going to vote for Messrs. Gilmer and Bolder on the (tai lorings when tlinso gentlemen respectively received 30 and 38 votes—enough to have elected them with tho help of tho Democ racy. Well, on tho 22d, they did not take this ground oxactly in the House, for they prol/ably knew that it would not do there, but tlxy questioned the sincerity of the Northern Opposition members—said that they would not have voted thus if they had supposed, they could thereby elect Gilmer Bottler. Whereupon they Were not only assured by the Northern Opposition ("I*i pie’s Party” we believe they are called) that they were sincero in those votes, but M Harris notified them that tho same member woald again vote fur Gilmer on the nex balloting, and that the Democracy should have another chance te make him Mpeaki The vote was taken, and there Northern men voted, ss they had promised, for Gib mer, but the Democracy again threw awuy all their votes on Millsun and others and let go another opportunity to secure the defeat of Sherman. Let the reader note the squirming and dodging of the Democracy in this brief debate. A majority, but not all, of the Southern Opposition had voted for Mr. Mill- son, a Virginia Democrat. Tho Demociacy ernaurrd them because all did not so Vote, when the fact was patent and undeniable that if every Southern Opposition man had voted for MilLon he would still have lacked jix or eight voles. They actuully I lamed the Southern Americans, not only because s portion of their little parly did not vote for Million, but bt-ciuse some Democrats also voted against into !—conjecturing that if all the Americana bad voted for him, to would the Douglaa and ether refractory Democrat* I Waa ever a dodge likf this heard of before I And they resorted to it in the face of the fact that enough Douglas Democrats to constitute a clear majority of the House when combined with the Black Republicans have distinctly stated that they never will vote for an Administration Dem ocrat—thus rendering the election of a Democrat an utter impossibility. Since Hickman, llaskin and 8chwartz (Demo crats) went over lo him, Sherman has lacked once only three and generally only four votes of a clear majority. Four other Douglas Democrats, who bad not yet voted for him, have declared emphatically that they preferred a Republican to a Lecomp- ton pemocrat, and ss long as they refuse to vote for t regular Democrat, there is no earthly chance to elect one. It was rather cool, after the Democracy bad blsrued the Southern Opposition for not making ibe Douglas men vote for Millson, for ouo ef them seriously to object to Gilmer because Haakin (a Douglas Democrat) bad declared bis intention to vole for him ! It appears lo be right for (he Democracy to rreeive aid from any quarter, but they cannot vote tor a Southern American who receives that 9outh Carolina ia resolved upon mak ing for herself improvements which the Federal Government ought to tasks but refuses or neglects. nr* The latest accounts from Brownsville, Texas, are to the 14lh inst., at which time both parties were receiving reinforcements. The recruits for Cortinas were of coarse* either from the Mexican side of the river or Mexicans residing in Texts, and the rein forcements to the citizens of Brownsville were no doubt volunteer Texans from the neighboring counties. The war appeors to hsve assumed a national character se far as the actors ara concerned, though neither nation pays much attention to it. Tho Mexicans are outlaws and voluntary exiles, and the Texans are only Mouthcrners, whom the General Government hat no power to protect though Mexican filibusters have for months held armed occupation of a portion of ibeir territory ! nr The Mississippi Democratic Stnte Convention met at Jackson on the 12th inst., appointed dslrgutea to the Charleston Convention, and adopted a resolution rec ommending Hon. Jeff. Davis for the Presi dency. It would trom an if each Southern 8tate would have a candidate of its own for the Charleston nomination. Kentucky, Georgia and Mississippi have already indi- rated their candidates, Virginia will pretty iurely present cither Wiso or Hunter, and .everal others will no doubt "follow suit” by urging the claims of citizens of their bv Rupert At tintult, of Pittsburg, sunk Worthington Thursday, and JuMipihLydick ol Piiiaburv, and John Baxter, ol JeiVaon. villo, wore drowned.
