Dj Tiic [d i uliar study of the medical profession is man. Its labors, though o-:c! .iis!y directed to the ameliora tion of his physical condition, yet, its s t ;,e 11 ; flits fitr beyond this seem ingly limited dispensation,' find, in the tig”regate exert an enormous in flattice and bearing upon the race and upon society. The profession studies man in his varied relations to physical, mu tt rial and mental life. It pursues .ij:n in his htd its, guards the avenues S of health, inti rceps the approach of ! disease, and inateriuiiy aids uature in the great conflict of life and death. The profession not only modifies dis ease and renders it more tolerable, hut ht s considerably diminished its aggregate amount, and prolonged the average duration of human life. This naturally lends to bring the so cial forces more and more under the | control of age, with all its experience, weight of character, its inlcliigt nee, and accumulated wisdom. With j such potent agencies as • he>'-, age will naturally exert such c< aDmling ■ intluenco upon society as to give it character and tone, The profession noi only thus con tributes to society such wholesome and conservative elements for its or ganization and character, but, by its diligent researches, has developed manv important facts which serve as incentives to action, the practical re mits of which are felt and recogniz ed. A healthful stimulus to mental culture is incited by the fact that pru dent exercise of the brain power is important to health and' long life — thus furnishing to society not only numbers, hut corresponding weight of intelligence: Man becomes betie iiciary by the extension of bis years, and society by cultivated influence. Jn connection with toe above, it is known tiuit imbeciles and idiots are short lived ; that even the physically robust and athlete persons, not intel lectually developed, rarely live to an advanced age; and that the oldest persons in any country are generally Li eim .-w intelligent. The develop ment ; 11 : 1 1 promulgation of such tacts tend indirectly to impress society by calling attention loan impoitant hy gienic injunction that encourages the cultivation of the mental faculties, thus pU; .eloping the popular mind, itntl elevating jean to bis full statue of strength and influence. Wuch cul ture invigorates! and cheeps.man’s physical life, imd prepares him tor the accumulated responsibilities of age. it fits him for the charge of restraining and tempering the rash ness ci youth, and tor holding, him- Sfdh t:V helm of society. Hut the influence of tlie profession stops not luire. JU number*, its edu cation, it* soch l environment, place it in position most advantageous tor impressing s< eu < y. -its suriuces of contact., are immeasurably broad, and its imprinting!', inimitably va ried and diversified ’ yet, insensibly, ra-vii; iiig through-every branen imd circle ol society, must, teach its very heart and centrel, and aggregate momentous power. Although medical science has ac complished much, yet it exults in proßpept pf still greater achievements at no distant day. fho profession, to-dav, occupies a point tfanscend antlyTu advance of any period in jts post"history. Its spirit of enterprise is still on the alert, its reserches ex tensive and profound—resulting in new developments grandly impor tant to tiie physical jfpd juaterial as well as mental life. Basing itsvll Upon truth, medical science is diii gentlv exploring many new fields fertile in material for and action j and already anxious appre hensions are being ' indulged 'that the whole proceedure of metaphysical reasoning may be reversed, and eth ics supplied with anew and different basis of departure. This indication springs from recent researches upon the subject of archcvMosis and the differentiation of species— in connec tion wid) they mb y of mental pathol ogy ; and again, genealogy ig being invested with new and broad signifi cance that may ultimately supply a new standpoint for the estimate ot human motives. The studies of he redity and atari si n —together with the ’>natural history of crime,” whicu are now engaging the strength and talent of the profession, threaten to convulse the world with new thoughts and estimates. With such spirit of research and enterprise, the medical profession— based, as it is, upon truth , and studi ously observing, in all its active rela tions and duties, trie practical princi p;es oi conservatism pieqenh? ad” ture of the highest interest. Jts con tinued exph rations nod develop ment of scientific and practical facts pertaining to the physical habits of life, to disease and its therapeutics— will tend to widen its sphere, and in crease its ini!ut nee, even to the ex tent of altering and directing the structure and tendency ol society.

A IT.OOR OF SILVER, On the closing up of the Smith & Rogers silver-plating concern in New Haven, a few days ago, preparatory to its removal to Meriden, the floor of the plating-room was taken up, burned, and the ashes analyzed, with the result of procuring pure silver to , the amount of $9Bl. This result R not so strong as appears at first sight. The precious metals sire capable of extreme volatilization under heat, b ( coming mere vapors, which may he condensed, resulting in the pro duction of the metal in a pure form. But, evt n without heat, the particles c; gold and silver are made so ex ceedingly. fine, in the processes of the in ,tufi;u am* of gold and silver goods, whether solid or plated, that no de vices for saving the material abraded or thrown off iq the, various manipu lations are* entirely effectual. Even in the government assay offices *the soot deposited in the chimneys from the melting of tiie crude metal is valuable; and in most manufacto* ries of articles of gold and silver the proprietors do not allow the work men to retain their work-clothes when worn out, but pay for them a price generally sufficient to procure new girments—an old tattered vest belonging to a bench workman some ; times being valued by his emplyers, even when worn to rags, at s2o.

CONS 1 ITUriCNAL CONVENTION. Why it Should b. Held and What it Should He. The following matter on the subject j we dip from tho MiUodgeville Union i and Recorder: The following are a few of the many reasons why it should he heid: First —The constitution of JSCS was j not called for, nor framed by the rep resentatives of the intelligence, pa l jti iiitism and manhood of the people of Georgia: Second —It was framed under miji j tary rule in accordance with the ar ! hitrary, unconstitutional and oppres : sivo iccoustruction acts of a ltadleal ! congress. Brevet Major General John Pope, Military Commander in Georgia, or ! dered an election of delegates to be | held on the 29th, 30th and 31st days of October, which was continued.on ! the first and second days of Govern ! her, IS6B. The list of registered voters num bered 1*8,647. Of these only 106fiil0 voles were polled. Four thousand one hundred and twenty-seven tick ets were uot indorsed, “Convention.” Of the 103,410 who did vote, at least 80,000 were colored men. Of the re maining 26,410, 22,383 were whites, consisting, mainly, of Radicals and others, wiio favored what was termed a relief measure; 81,737, constituting the main body of the intelligent ,v and citizens of the State, did not at all. General Pope, the Military Com mander, i.-sued an order November 19, 1867, commanding the delegates to meet at Atlanta, on the 9th day of December, ’67, and “proceed to frame a constitution and civil government for the State of Georgia, according to the provisions and acts above referred to, etc.” 'The eonstitution, when framed, Was submitted to the people for rati fication or rejection, and it was rati fied by the votes of ignorant blacks and a few thousand white Radicals, and friends' of the relief provisions incorporated in the constitution'. Third —This constitution, thus orig inated and framed, repeatedly de clares that the people of Georgia, in seceding from the Union and con tending for their independence, were rebels against the lawful and para mount authority of the United States. Fourth—At the election for ratifi cation or rejection of the constitution, an immense mstjority of the white, intelligent citizens of the State, went to the poiiu and spurred it as a km dameiital law, unworthy of a liberty loving and intelligent people. •Fifth —Among Lite most influential reasons which caused the white citi zens of the State to vote against rati fication, was the declaration in the tejfiu article, “The scat of govern ment of this State, from and after the ratification of this constitution, shall lie in tiie city of Atlanta, and the General Assem iy shall provide for the erection oi’ anew capitol, and such other buildings as the public welfare may require.” This was a violation of the pledged fait!) of the State, that Milledgevilie should bb the permanent seat of uqv ernment. The act is found in Clay ton’s Compilation, assented to De cember 12th, 1801. The pledge is in section seven of tint act, and is as fol lows : “And be it further bnactea, 1 that the fiext mvc-thm ef the General; Assembly after '.he bate of said proc lamation (try the Governor that the State House is completed) shall be at the said town of Milledgevilie, which is hereby declared to be the perma nent seat of government of this State.” Fifty yeats after this pledge was gi veil dir silence the clamor of those who wished a removal of the capitol to Atlanta, the Legislature passed an act to submit tiie question of remov al, or no removal, to the legal voters of the State. This act was passed and assented to, to give finality to tlie question. The popular vote was overwhelming in I'avor of retaining Milledgevilie as the seat of govern ment. Sixth —The removal, by a cosstitu tipntii provision in 186a, totally ignored the wishes of the people. A T o one, who has the least regard for his fair lame, will aoui’t that it was not a fair expression of popular will. The question of removal did not enter into the canvass for delegates. The constitutional provision# for re moval was the act of the lately en franchised negroes, the carpet-bag ger's, and other radicals, and viewed iu its proper light, it has about it something of the colorings of the returning boards, who have fraudu lently hoisted a President over the people against their expressed choice and vviii. Seventh— The return of the capitol to Milledgevilie, will save to our heavily burdened tax-payers hun dreds of thousands of dollars. Al ready, greedy and interested eyes are peering about in Atlanta, for sites upon which to erect anew costly building, new Executive Mansion and otl f er public edifices that will touch the people’s pockets fco the tune of more than.a milliion dollars additional taxation. The foregoing, and other import ant matters, will engage the atten tion of the people between the present time and tiie day appointed for the election of delegates. See to it, peo ple of Georgia ! that men of enlarged and patriotic views—incapable of shuffling for any little temporary ad vantages--thoroughly devoted to the public welfare--looking to Re pub lic interest and honor of the Stale — the true relief of the people—imme diate auu much needed eetrei.chment anti reform— shall represent you in the ahtredpated' convention. Every obstacle that ingenuity can invent will be. thrown in the pathway of your duty. As far as we can do so, we will unite with you for removing them for our common good, EXTRACTS FROM HISTORY, CONSTI-*- ■ Tu rrox or 1868. fiEAbqß'fe Qi) Military Di pt.

It will be remembered that many of our best citizens were disfranchised and the white people generally, re frained from voting in this election. We have designated the colored delegates by the use of italics. Pos sibly the people of the several dis tricts will remember the carpet-bag gers who assumed to represent them, although unknown jn their districts at the time.

Atlanta, Dec. 9. 1867.—The con vention met at 10] o'clock A- M | 180 whites (?) and twenty-two neg rots were present. George Ashburn moved that Foster Blodgett., be temporary chairman, which motion was carried. Blodgett not being present, J. L. Dunning, of Atlanta was called to the chair, and W, F. Clift, of Chatham, acted as secretary, Much confusion prevailed and inability to agree upon an organ ization, Campbell (negro) offered a resolu tion that all aspirants for the presi dency define their positions on the relief question.

Dunning stated that as Blodgett was* elected temporary chairman j yesterday, and was not then present, [ be would now vacate the chair in favor of that gentleman. No objec tion was made and and Blodgett took the chairand read a long address evidently prepared by the expecta tion of being president. A resolution requiring candidates to state their views on the relief question was tabled, and the conven tion, proceeded to the election of of President: viva voce, as follows: J. R.

He is a fine, manly fellow, and seems to have accepted the war in good faith. lie went to Thad, Stevens, and Thad. began to play with him, as he some times did with those he intended to make liia victims. He said : “You are a graduate of West Point I believe?” “Yes sir. ” “E lucated at Ihp expense of the United States. I believe, which you swore faithfully to forever defend ?” “Yes sir.” “You wept into tho service of the infer pal rebellion ?” Yes sir.” “You were a brigade commander in the raid in Pennsylvania, which destroyed the property of so many of my constituents?” “Yes, sir.” “It was a squad of men under your direct charge, and under your per sonal comtqand, thM burned my T-othug miMT 1 Yes sir.” Young thought he was gone, but sec-ing that the old veteran had come into possession of the last fact, which Young did not dream he knew, it was impossible to deny the truth of the question. Thad roared out, “Well, i like your d—ol impu dence. I will see that your disabili ties are removed. Good morning. And the next day the bill passed th House. -> aw a I ■ . The number ot laborers unemploy ed and seeking work in New York city is said to be 55,000. The figures aie sadly significant.
