[From the New York Era ] THE KING. The unfortunate Con ratlin, of the house of Hohenstaufen; had terminated Ins course on the scaffold, which tire hatred of his foes had erected for him at Naples; a similar fate awaited his friends and adherents, and nearly all the survivors who possessed the means of flight hastened to seek in the wilds of nature —in inaccessible mountains or deep impene trable forests—a refuge from the persecutions of enmity and revenge. Among those who thus fled from the hate of their foes, there was perhaps none whose fate excited a more lively interest than the young Count Giuliano di Cotalteo, who sought, amid the natural fastnesses of the ; Abruzzi, a retreat from the rage of his pursu-! ers. Os the same age with the hapless Coi - radio, and allied to that unhappy prince by ties of strictest friendship, he ceased not to mourn his death, and to wait an opportunity to avenge his fate ; and tlius became partic ularly obnoxious to the ruling powers, who set a. price on his head, and left no means un tried of ensnaring his person within their power. Hut Count Julian was brave, active and intrepd ; protected by the almost impen etrable nature of the region to which he had retreated, he defied alike the power and inge nuity of his persecutors, and evaded all their endeavors to deprive him of liberty or life. Here, amid the wildest and most savage scenes, surrounded by companions whom the same necessity had driven to seek the same refuge, he exchanged the delights of the city and the court for the seclusion and danger of the outlaw’s life; while a deeper pang was added to his sorrows in being forced from the object of his attachment, the young and beau tiful Bianca, his cousin, the only daughter of his maternal uncle, the Marchese di I’igna telli, who, having embraced the opposite par tv, resided at Naples, guarded by the protec tion, and favored with the friendship of the dominant power. No great interval had elapsed after the ex pulsion of Count Julian, when the Marchese was summoned, by the illness of a relation, to visit Ortona, a town, the road to which lay partly through the Abruzzi district, and tra versed some of its most lonely and wildest passes. The dangers of such an expedition would under other circumstances have deter red the Marchese from attempting the jour ney ; but the iilness of his aged relative ad mitted neither hesitation nor delay ; she had forwarded an urgent entreaty that she might again behold the Marchese and his daughter, and then, and not before, her missive added, should she be enabled to close her eyes in peace. No course remained but to undertake the dreaded expedition, and the Marchese with his daughter, set out, attended by a whole cavalcade of attendants, servants, and above all, by a numerous body of the retainers of his house, fully armed and equipped, to re pulse the attacks of the outlaws, should such be made. The journey proceeded prosperously enough, till on the third evening from leaving the capital they reached a defile of the most fearful and suspicious character. Two vast overhanging rocks joined erewhile together, but rent in sunder by one of those convulsions of which this region bears so many traces, still approached each other at their upper verge so closely as almost to shut out the light of day, leaving a narrow, rough, and in secure defile as the only pathway between them, while their sides, hollowed out by va rious fissures of the rock, and overgrown with shrubs, afforded means of covert and ambush, protected and concealed by which a small l and of assailants might arrest the progress of a mighty host. The Marchese was a sol dier, an old experienced loader; he saw the difficulty and danger of the pass, and feared not for himself, but for the lovely and pre cious treasure which he was about to place in pjiil. But there was no time for delay ; the lead ing soldiers of the cavalcade had already en tered the path, through which they were able to advance only in single files. Those in front had proeeded some distance in safety, the whole train was now entangled in the rav ine, when an attack, tierce and furious, and directed from unseen assailants, was made at once on the front, centre, and roar of the pro cession. Arrows, spears, and darts, were discharged; masses of stone loosened from sides of the rock were hurled on the intru ders; while the attacking party were hidden in the clefts of the precipices, or so screened by the trees and bushes, as to remain com pletely obscured from view, and sheltered from retaliation. Several of the party were levelled to the earth; many of the horses wounded and terrified by the discharge of missiles; and an arrow piercing the noble palfrey which bore the lady Bianca, the af frighted animal plunged madly forward, while its alarmed burden screamed wildly in terror, and her agonized father urged his courser onwards, vainly striving to catch the rein, which she had dropped, and calling wildly, “Bianca, oh, save my Bianca, my beloved, my lost, my sacrificed child!” Scarcely had that name reverberated among the rude rocks and recesses of this savage scene, than a louder cry re-echoed over the noise and tumult of the fight. A voice noble and commanding ordered a cessation of arms, and the figure of a youthful warrior was seen standing on a pinnacle of the preci pice, and in gestures and tones of authority bidding the tempest of the attack to cease. It was —yes, it was—Count Giuliano, in the garb of an outlaw, ordering his associates to suspend their warfare, and spare the loved one, whose name had reached his ear. Per ceiving at the same time the danger to which site was exposed from the fright of her woun ded steed, he leaped from crag to crag, from rock to rock, till he seized the rein, and stop ped the startled animal. Ere he could efteet this purpose she had sunk in a state of insensibility on the crea ture’s neck, and all the cares of the Count, together with those of her attendants, were required, ere she could be restored to con sciousness. “Bianca, my own love,” he cried, as at length reviving, she slowly and wildly gazed around; “awake, and fear not, no evil shall befall thee or thiue while thy Giuliano is here to protect thee.” “But, oh!” she exclaimed, “in what a guise do 1 behold thee ; an outlaw; thy oc cupation violence or murder; thy compan ions the outcasts of the world.” “Nay, lady, ’tis no time for parley, else could 1 reproach those friends of thine and of thy sire, who have shed the blood of our no blest Italian youth on the scaffold, or driven them forth as wanderers on the earth. But time is precious. You are journeying to wards Ortona, and purpose resting to-night atLanciano. Thus much our scouts had in formed me; thy name alone was unknown, or, believe me, no ill should have chanced to thee or thine. The way is dreary and dan gerous ; you are liable to attack from other of our bands; allow me, therefore, to be for z-erme distance your escort.” .The request would have been declined by the Marchese, who had now joined the youth ful pair, but Giuliano urged its expediency, nav, its necessity, with so much force and clearness, that it was found impossible to re fuse the offer. For a brief, too brief a space, then, did he journey side by side with the object ol his love, and enjoy one of those delicious inter j views, which those who love ever find too short, however lengthened their duration, and too few and far between, however frequent their recurrence. They had long passed beyond that part of the country which Count Giuliano had de scribed as dangerous, and the walls and tow : ers of Ortona were seen in the distance, when the Marchese, who had before vainly i endeavored to give sundry hints, now urged the Count to consult his own safety by with drawing; and won by the courtesy and gal lant bearing of his kinsman, expressed in lively terms his gratitude for that protection ! and rescue from danger which he had affor ded. I ”1 trust, Signor Marchese,” said the Count, 1 “that all danger is now past, yet 1 can | scarcely assure you that you are safe from j attack. 1 can, however, furnish you with a safeguard for your protection. Will my ’ sweet Bianca,” he said, “accept a talisman which shall protect her against such evil! Take this ring; it is the last gift of the un happy Conradin, my regretted friend and master. It is composed of emeralds and ru bies, shaped as thou seest, in form of that re gal crown which he wore, alas! for too brief a space, and is surmounted by the holy cross ; while beneath is placed a heart, the image of your friendship !” And thus saying, he gent ly took the forefinger of her right hand, and placed on it the ring, the brightness and beau ty of whose tints were only outshone by the dazzling whiteness of the skin with which j they were contrasted. “If attacked,” he added, “by any of the j bands who range these wild districts, you j have only to show this ring, and you will be secure from insult and injury. And, further, if you wish aught of Giuliano, send me but this rin<_ r , and the summons shall be instantly obeyed.” “ Grazic , tniltc grazic,” replied the Mar chese, as he acknowledged the courtesy of their protector: and the fair object of bis j care, too much agitated to express her feel ings by words, could only reply by the mute but potent eloquence of tears to the passion i ate adieu of Giuliano, as after placing the gem oil her hand, he raised it gently and rev erentially to his lips, and imprinted on it a kiss of fervent, adoration. The cavalcade passed on without further molestation or impediment. The Marchese arrived just in time to receive the last sighs of his relative, and to hear her name his Bian ca as her heir. After awaiting the obsequies of bis friend, the Marchese set out on his re turn, which was accomplished in perfect safe ty, and with no repetition of such an accident as had marked its outset. M eanwhile the strange and singular adven ture which had befallen him formed the ob ject of general conversation and remark, and all who constituted the escort of the Mar chese were loud in their praise of the con duct of Giuliano. The men could not but ad mire the soldier-like skill and ability with which he availed himself of the advantages of his position for attacking the cavalcade, as well as the gallantry and self-devotion | with which, nimble as the chamois of those | rocks, he had leaped from point to point to i rescue his Bianca from danger; while the waiting maids, who formed part of the pro cession, were all admiration of his form and face, and Bianca could hear on all sides noth ing but his praise. “Such eyes, Marchcsina,” said little Mar garetta, the youngest and prettiest of her train ; “such a look: fierce and terrible in war and when frowning defiance to the men ; but S9 sweet, so soft, so gentle, when he looks at you, Signorina. Well, you are formed for each other, and that’s the truth !” On their return to Naples, the affair was still more noised abroad, and at length reach ed the ears of the Duca di , who, be ing on terms of intimacy u ith the Marchese and the Lady Bianca, sent a mission re questing to be favored with a sight of the ring, and a narration of the adventure of which it was the subject. The Marchese re quested his daughter to relax so far from her t usual rule, (for she never-allowcd the ring to j leave her finger,) as to favor a nobleman so highly elevated in rank, and so favored with the confidence of his sovereign, bv inspect ing the jewel; and Bianca, in spite of a se ! cret foreboding, which urged her, in this one* instance at least, to refuse compliance with the wishes of a parent, allowed her father to I transmit the ring to the Duke for his inspec tion. Some days passed away without the object being returned, and she could not but ! miss the gem on which she was daily, hourly, accustomed to look; nay, she felt certain mis givings as to the propriety of having allowed it to leave her possession. She had even determined to mention the matter to her father, and to remonstrate on the detention of her treasure, when one mor ning she heard from the high windows of her apartment a noise and tumult in the streets, and was about to inquire the cause, when Margaretta rushed in, her face in a glow of rage, her bright eyes on fire with passion. “O, Signorina !” she exclaimed ; “such a calamity has happened. The Count Giuli ano is taken captive, and led to prison.” “Giuliano —captive—prison!” were the on ly sounds re-echoed by the horror-stricken girl. “Yes, .If archestna, ’ti3 too true. I saw him myself while hastening from mass, look ing noble though a captive, and proud though bound in chains, frowning the same defiance !at the insults of the mob, as when he so ! i fiercely assaulted our procession in the Abruz zi pass.” “But how,” Bianca at length regained com posure to inquire, “how has he been ensnar- ■ : ed!” “In the usual way, Signorina ; a woman is the cause. Ido believe our precious sex , : never will leave of!’ imitating their mother Eve, and doing all the mischief they can, while the world shall endure. Cruel, treach ; erous wretch. It I had her here, 1 would tear her eyes out; and”— But her attention was directed to her un- : happy mistress, on whose mind the dreadful ; truth had dawned, and who guessed with that j j fatal certainty which so often forebodes evil, that she had been made the innocent means of her cousin’s destruction. Too lase she per ceived the imprudence of which she had been I guilty, in allowing the ring to pass from her ! possession ; for she doubted not that it had been obtained with a view to entrap and be tray him. Her fatal forebodings were short- ! ly after confirmed, and a little inquiry suflic- j ed to convince her, that her father and her- j self had been made the unsuspecting instru- j merits for ensnaring and capturing him, and that the ring, sent with a pretended message | from herself, had induced him to repair unat- f tended to a spot where he was speedily over- I powered, and brought a prisoner to the capi-! tol. Together with this intelligence, she also learned that his hours were numbered ; that his trial, a mere mockery and form in those days of cruelty and outrage, was fixed to take place almost immediately, within the walls of his dungeon, which he would quit only for the scaffold. What intelligence was this for one who loved as Bianca loved, to find that herself and her parent had been made the tools of a | crooked and cruel State policy; had unsus- I pectingly contributed to the destruction of a relative; in short, that she had become the murderess of that being on whom all her hopes of happiness were fixed. The thought was madness, and reason could scarce sup port the very reflection. Her despair was increased by considering 1 that the calamity was utterly hopeless, and admitted of neither relief nor consolation. To have attempted to soften the hearts of his foes, a moment’s consideration convinced her were an endeavor, which would have only j embittered his fate, or increased the sufler ; ings he was destined to undergo. One poor consolation alone remained, and j this her woman’s heart, the shrine of native j honor, and feeling, and truth, prompted her jto seek. She could, she was aware, readily procure means of access to his prison, and j she determined to visit him there, to explain the cruel and treacherous deceit which had been practiced; to undeceive him as to the cause which had led to his captivity and his death; to avow her unalterable love; to I breathe a prayer that Heaven would shortly unite her to himself in another and a better world, and, if it might be so, to obtain his parting forgiveness! At the hour of midnight did the young and timid girl leave the bright and brilliant palaz zo of her fathers, to seek the fearful gloom and solitude of a prison. Her heart sank within her as she entered the massive portal; and as the grating key and rattling chain gave her ingress into the abode of misery, she i shuddered for the fate of one so tenderly be ! loved, so fatally sacrificed, who, she knew, ! would only go from prison to death, and leave the darkness of his dungeon for the scaffold. After threading innumerable dark and damp passages, and t raversing what seemed a sub : terranean city of despair, she was at length j ushered into the wretched, deeply sunk dun geon, to which was consigned the young and ! gallant and dearly loved Giuliano. With trembling hands she took the proffer i ed lamp ftom the attendant, and advancing to ! a heap of straw in a remote corner of the i cell, she beheld the object of which she was | in quest —the hapless prisoner, stretched in I uneasy and unquiet sleep. Slowly and cautiously she approached the slumbering and ill-fated youth, shading the lamp with her small hand, lest its light should awaken the captive; and treading with the lightness of a sylph, lest her footstep should disturb his sleep. As she bent over him, she shuddered as she saw a deep gash extending across his fore head, on which it was evident no surgical care had been bestowed. The bloodunclean sed was clotted over the brow, and the wound itself gaped livid, wide, and frightful, unpro tected, uncovered by any bandage or other friendly appliance. “O Heaven! he is wounded, and his wounds are undressed,” she mentally exclaiffied : and looking on his hands, which were clasped on his breast, perceived that they were heavily manacled, while a closer inspection revealed to her that his fetters, whether by accident or design, were fastened so closely that blood had flowed from the pressure : and her an guish was completed, as his lips feebly and slowly moved, ejaculating a reproach to her name. “Falsa, salsa Bianca /” was the exclama tion of his dreams, and, overwhelmed with grief, she tottered towards the wall of the cell to abide his awaking. The slumbers of the wretched are brief and easily broken, and the light and scarcely audible steps of the maiden were sufficient to arouse him from his sleep. Her heart beat ; fearfully when she heard his fetters clank as he turned on his couch of straw ; but still more terrific were its vibration when, perceiv ing her, he denounced her perfidy and upbrai ded her cruelty in coming to view, and, as lie supposed, to triumph in the misery she had occasioned. “False, perfidious !” was his cry, “and art thou come to complete thy cruelty by insult ing me in my misery', and gloating on the ru in thou has wrought ?” Bianca essayed to reply, but unable to ar ticulate, could only answer with tears. “Thou hast still, beautiful but perfidious fiend, another joy in store. I have been con demned to die by a band of poltroons; any one, nav, any three of whom, give me but my good steed and my knightly harness, 1 would have encountered and felled to the earth. They have consigned me to the scaffold, and, at to-morrow’s noon, thou mayst feast thine eye and rejoice thine heart on the mangled corse of Giuliano Cotalteo, who loved thee, false one, but too well; and whose love thou hast so cruelly, so basely repaid.” As she feebly 7 and faintly attempted to ex plain, he fiercely interrupted her vindication : “Nay, add not the guilt of falsehood to the crime of treachery. When I had thee in the Abruzzi hills, and could have crushed thy weak and coward escort as ’twere a nutshell, and thence could have borne thee to our mountains, and there have extorted as thy ‘ ransom what terms of peace or pardon I chose, I fondly, weakly suffered my love to J overcome my T reason, dared the displeasure of mv associates, and gave a pledge which thou hastemployed but for mv ruin,” —and exhaus ted and wearied he sank again on his pillow of straw. Bianca, slowly and painfully collecting herself, now commenced the recital of that treachery of which she, as well as himself, had been made the victim. Bitterly and un- 1 sparingly did she reproach herself for the negligence with which she had allowed the j ring to depart from her custody. Could she I have divined the cruel, treacherous, the mur- j derous purpose for which it had been procur ed, never, never, would she have parted with it. As it was, she implored not his forgive ness ; this she dared not ask; but his pity and his last regret; and, as he gradually became calm and listened to her adjurations, she ap proached nearer to him, grasped his passive I hand, and, kneeling by his couch, implored Heaven to grant her its pardon, and to be- j stow the further boon of shortly rejoining her lover, her victim, in the tomb! The unhappy prisoner, softened, affected by the undeniable truth of her sad storv, rais ed himself on his couch, and, clasping the I weeping girl, bestowed his blessing, his for- ‘ giveness! The time allowed for their interview had now expired, and with many a mutual sob and sigh, and oft repeated embrace, the un happy girl was separated from her only trea sure. On the ensuing morning the preparations of j execution were made on the Piazza. The youth and estimable qualities of the condemn- ‘ ed excited a more than usual interest in his : behalf, the crowds collected were enormous, and the dread spectacle of death had not at tracted a more numerous assemblage since the unhappy Conradin himself was the hero of its melancholy scene ! At noon precisely was the hapless prison er conducted to the scaffold, and as the bell of Santa Maria tolled the noon-tide hour, the head of the youthful noble rolled a ghastly and lifeless relic on the scaffold. And at this hour precisely she who had unconscious ly been the instrument of his fate, enregister ed lierself in the convent of Ursuline nuns ot Santa Catarina, as a novice ; here she soon found the boon she sought: she lingered in sickness and in sorrow through the term of her noviciate, and, on that day of the lolknv ing year, a grave was opened in the cemetery of the convent for the reception ol the mortal remains of the young and beautiful and ill fated Bianca!

In introducing this medicine to the people of the Unit ed State?,, for “ale. the proprietors beg leave to submit the following statement of Dr. de Grafienried, its diseov eier and inventor: The undersigned frankly state? that he has prescribed this medicine for the last twenty-two years, in all lorms of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a success un paralleled in the annals of medicine ; and he has no hes itation in saving., that it is decidedly the most valuable remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most pain ful and distressing malady. llis note-book contains upwards of three hundred ea ses, in which it has been used within the above named period,and in no single instance has it come to his knowl edge, of its having failed to effect a cure when persereved in. Many of the eases were from four to ten years stand ing ; and what may appear yet more remarkable and ex traordinary, is, that when the patient has been once re lieved, the disease i * permanently cured, remains so, not a sol.tary instance having teen re] o ted to him of its re turn. All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impar tial and patient trial, for the results he entertains no ap prehension. Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had well studied the origin, progress, and character of this dis ease,and is well assured, had consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been translated into the English language, anti had used all the remedies of any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu manity. It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians and Surgeons of our own, arid of every other country. Rut the undersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all oth ers have failed, and that he shall have been an humble in strument in the hands of God, of relieving the human family ofa vast amount ofsuffering.

I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with, what 1 believed to be, and wfiat eminent Physicians of this city pronounced, Rheumatic gout,for several winters past I have been confined to my room and bed nearly all the time. In January last. I had an attack ax violent if not more so than usual, which pro-trated me for about three weeks; on your reecomniendation I commenced the use of this Liniment. (With I must confess but little faith). Its effects were astonishing and decidedly bene ficial from its first application. In a few days my back, wrists ancles were entiielv relieved (and so contin ue) of all soreness, pains, and the swelling’s reduced, with the u;e of less than one bottle. I have been in the discharge of my ordinary business ever since. I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most efficacious remedy for this disease which I have ever met with.

WARDSWORTH- Columbus Ga.. fffeff. 20, 18(9 Dr. DeGrafTenried—Dear Sir : 1 tuke pleasure in giv ing you the particulars of my affliction by, and relieft'rnm Rheumatism. During the spring of 1844 I was afflicted with a very severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism. 1 employed all the most celebrated remedies then Known and used in similar cases, aided by medical advice, until* September, 1845; with no satisfactory result whatever. I was then induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try your Liniment, as something new, and which had cured him ; and in one'month, from thetimeTcommenced the application, I was well, and clear of the'Rheumatism as l ever was, and have continued so to this time. ■Sours, truly, L.

I came to Co lumbus to get medical assistance, and was advised to call on you. as having a remedy that would afford me speedy relief. I was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints i so badly, that I could not pull of my shoes without aid ; nor could 1 ascend or descend steps, or pull off my clothes without assistance: My right arm and hand were nearly useless ; the fingers contracted and swollen; the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not’ bend it hut very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rheu matic Liniment iny limns three times, and was the next j morning enabled to descend a long fight of steps, with out aid of crutch or stick, and back ro my room—l could also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which the previous day, 1 could not have done if my life had de pended on it. 1 could also use. open and bend my fing ers, wicli was an imbossibility the day before. I rose in the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheu matic Liniment, and in ten days, I was relieved. I would not have been in the condition which I had been, ten days before 1 called on you, for any ammit’of money which could he given me ; for what'is lifc vvorth when in constant pain and misery ! I consider your Rheumat ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in the world. I am, dear sir, your friend. J. 11. SMITH. Columbus, Nov. 1, 1819. Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a stilff neck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or seven years, and could not turn her neck except with the body. I was induced to purchase a bottle of your Lin iment, which was applied in August or September of 1818. One bottle entirely relieved her and she now has the use of her neck as well as ever she had ; and up to this time, it has not returned. GARLAND B. TERRY. Philadelphia, Feb. 1 1850. Dr. de Graflenried—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted, for some time past, with a severe attack of Rheumatism, and having heard of the wonderful effects of your Rheu matic Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it; and after three days, I was so much relieved as to he able to leave the house and attend to business. I have perfect ly recovered from the disease, and would cheerfully re commend the Liniment to all those who are afflicted, GEORGE HOOD, 27 Fowell street. Columbus Ga., Oct. 13,1849. Dr. E. L de Graflenried —Dear Bir: Agreeable to your request, I give my testimonial as to the virtue of your Liniment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being at tacked in one joint ofmy finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and haying used many of the unnumbered prescriptions for its cure, with but little benefit, I made application of two bottles of your Liniment, which lain happy to say relieved me in a very short time. I can re commend its use to all persons affected in like manner. Very respectfully, F. B CHAPMAN. I .can testify to the efficacy of Dr. de Grartenried’s Rheumatic Liniment in the case of Mr. F. S. Chapman, as it came under my immediate observation. October 13,1819. R. A. WARE, M. D. Dear Sir—Some time in Janary last, Mrs. McKee was taken very ill with Inflammatory Rheumatism in her shoulder joints, extending to her elbow joint and arm, which disabled her from using her arm almost en tirely ; and from the pain, want of sleep, and great rest lessness, for not less than six weeks, I was induced by my friend, Mr. Luke lived, to call on vou for a bot tle of your Liniment, and by using half the bottle, she was entirely relieved, and the relief was manifest or sen sible after three or four rubbings. lam of opinion, it is one of the most valuable remedies that has ever been dis covered, for Rheumatism: that is, from my own knowl edge, and that which I have heard from others. Dr. E. L. de Graflenried. 11. C. McKEE. Columbus, Oct. 19th 1819 Dr. de Graflenried—Dear Sir : Itake pleasure in say ing, I have a boy who was so badly afflicted with Rheu matism, that he could not raise his hand to his head, and had nearly lost the use of his arm. 1 used the fourth of a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved him entirely. I consider it a most valuable remedy for i the cure of Rheumatism. „ j RANDOLPH L. MOTT. ! Memphis Institute. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth and professional acquirements, will compare favorably with the most distinguished in our country. The medi cal faculty constituted an anomaly in this or any other country—all of them are able lecturers and the best of teachers. Those who contemplate our geographical position, and the extent ol our population, can have no doubt as to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of the kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year, we deny that any other city iias more. A common error exists in the minds of many students relative to the place of studying medicines; those who intend practicing among the diseases of the West and South should certainly educate themselves at a school whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those diseases. That the public may be satisfied of the permanency of this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus tees and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs well for its future success ; and that the peculiar internal organization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.
