Chemistry in the Medical College oft

Augusta, Ga., Feb. 24th, 1858. j
Messrs. It. J. Healey, A. H. Mathews, |
J. C. Rhodes, A. Read, and A. C. Ed
munds :
gen/., ,_Your respectful communica
tion, requesting the publication of the
Lectures upon Electrophysiology, which
during the present session, I have
had the privilege of delivering to the
Medical Class, whose wishes, in the prem
ises, you so kindly represent,—has been
received and would have met with ear
lier attention but for the hurry and
anxiety neeessai-ily connected with a pre
mature departure for home, and a final
separation from an Institution with
which, for the last eighteen collegiate
years, I have been so intimately, and
so pleasantly connected.
Anxious, at all times, to gratify the
laudable desires of the young and as
piring, with whom for the greater por
tion of my life, I have had the lot to be
associated, I can only say that I will en
deavor, at as early a day as may comport
with my other engagements, to prepare
for publication in some appropriate
form, the subject of the Lectures, upon
the theme suggested ar.d which has just
passed in review before the t lass, with
the hope that it may elicit thought.and
provoke enquiry upon a subject which 1
honestly believe should demand the
careful attention of the Physiologist and
the Physician.
Now, Gentlemen,allow me in conclu
sion of tiiis hasty note, to ask you to
perform for me—to the entire Body of
esteemed young men whom you repre
sent, a brief but interesting duty, which
I would have gladly discharged person
ally, but which my hasty and unex
pected departure, lias denied me the
privilege of attempting. Please say to
them, thee, that I cannot fail to have
highly appreciated the courtesy and
universal respect which they have been
pleased to show me, during all past in
tercourse, and that while I leave this
college under the pressure of an emer
gency which has, — under existing circum
stances, —left me no other alternative , in or
der to meet the claims of honor and m
tegnty—l shall always be happy to meet
any of them in after life, although I
should never again be their instructor,
and sincerely desire their happiness for
both worlds.
I only ask a kind remembrance when j
I am far away, or when my labors are I
ended, and it is announced that I an* no 1
more.
With kindest regard, gents [for yours -
selves individually believe me,
Truly, Yours. &c.
A. Means.
A New FllUbnsterltig Expedition.
Correspondents at Washington state!
that an uuusual number of those restless j
and adventurous spirits, known as filli-j
busters, are now assembled at the Capi-!
tal, and that rumors are afloat of a!
movement to extend the area of free
dom in an entirely new direction. Thej
arrival of the Ex-Dictator of Mexico, j
Comonfort who has been driven from I
his country by a successful revolution, j
seems to have given a nefr impulse to
the spirit of territorial aggrandisement
American, especially Southern, eyes
having long been turned in that direc
tion, this late event has quickened the
public interest, and caused many to look ,
with longing eyes to some future con
tingency that may result in the practi
cal incorporation of that country with
our own.
We are inclined to think there is more |
reality than fancy in this matter. In- \
definite extension is evidently a charac- j
to istic of the Anglo-Saxon race ; and a
people confessedly unable to govern j
themselves by any system whatever,
certainly afford a strong temptation for
the indulgence of this propensity, es
pecially when the change, unlike most
(filibustering experiments, is likely to
be effected without serious opposition;
from the party to be annexed. VV e nave,
stirring times and important events be
fore us, and in the early future.— Sac.

Revival of the Slave Trade.
, I The New Orleans Delta, one of the
. | most earnest advocates of the renewal j
, 1 of the African Slave Trade, contains the
. | following article in its issue of Februa- j
I, ry 9th:
African Labor Immigration.—The
'! problem at last is solved. We at last |
II congratulate the South that the mo-j
, mentus question of the Labor Supply has'
1 taken a practical shape. The soldier j
; [ State of Mississippi has followed, Ala-!
1 1 bamais about to join in, and the great, |
■ earnest and daring peoplo of Texas, j
, I whose spirit of independence, undulated j
! and unadulterated by the Union, was
■; distilled through the history of the!
.' American Revolution, and doubly recti- j
, i fled in her own triumph over Mexico ;
' j Texas, the lineal offspring of two wars
■ j for liberty—the child of San Jacinto
t j and grand—daughter of Yorktown—
, j born in battle and bred to arms—-Texas
will be as ready as ever with assistance
') to the South and resistance to bet ene
i! mies. So vital to our section is the
1 1 prompt introduction of African labor
" j that we hail with enthusiasm every
1 j movement for its consummation. For
i this purpose two programmes have
L been recently proposed. One is that of
Mr. St. Paul in our own Legislature,
' and the other that of Mr. Hughes in
i Mississippi. We shall await with no
common solicitfide the details of Mr. St.
Paul’s plan, and, in the meantime, we
cordially sympathize with his intentions
1 and applaud his pluck,
f So far as we understand Mr. Hughes's
method for supplying African labor, it
is as practicable. His bill for the Char
-1 tor of the African Labor Immigration
Company, was introduced into the Mis
. sissippi Legislature on Wednesday (Nov.
19) evening, and referred to the Jiidiea
: ry Committee ; hut on the next morn
i ing the session closed, and adjournment
> prevented further action. A new bill,
, fitted for popular discussion, is prepared
1 and about to be submitted to the press
I and people of tiie State, in order that at
. the next Legislature, expected to meet j
this year, the Charter may be granted
and the Company go into business, so |
• that the high probabilities are that the!
next year cotton picked by Congoes,!
Eboes, I’apoes, and Bongoes will be sold
on Carondelet street.
In law: the position of the Mississip
t pi Company is simply this :
j 1. Laborers are either voluntary or!
involuntary. Involuntary laborers for'
- life are absolute slaves in law.
Involuntary laborers for a term of i
j years, or persons held to service under!
! laws of a State but not for life are statu- \
I I libers.
-| 2. Arrivals from a foreign country are
l either voluntary or involuntary. Mi-!
| gration is voluntary, and importation)
involuntary arrival. (Gibbons vs. Ogden
■(i Wheaton’s Rep. 217,and :j Story Com.
|Con.,S. 1831.) Hence, as property or I
involuntary laborers, Africans arc- eith-1
j er absolute slaves or statu-libers, and may!
i arrive either voluntarily or involuntari-j
! iy- i
The criminal clause of the United
! States Slave Trade Acts is tiiis : “ That!
| from and after the first of January,lßoß, j
j it shall not be lawful to import or bring!
| into the United States or the Territories
: thereof, any negro, mulatto cr person
of color, with intent to hold, sell,or dis
i pose of such negro, mulatto or person
i of color, as a slave, or to be held to ser
! vice or labor.” (Act March 2, 1807.)
j It is, therefore, evident, that what
j the Slave Trade Acts prohibit is the in
voluntary arrival of the African invol
untary laborers, whether absolute slaves
or statM-Übers.
The statues, in short, forbid theim
! pol lution of Africans as property, whetb
i er absolute slaves or statu libers.
The Mississippi Company do not pro
! pose the involuntary arrival of involun
j tary laborers, for that is the importa
i tion of absolute slaves, or statu-libers,and
! is in violation of the United States laws.
! The Company propose to procure the
voluntary arrival of voluntary laborers,
j or the immigration of Africans by their
! own act, obligated to labor for a term of
years. This, of course, is neither a vio
lation nor an evasion of the United
States law : because they simply pro
i- hibit the involuntary arrival of involun
tary laborers, or the importation of As
; ricans as property. Butgthe Company
. propose the immigration of Africans,
who, by their own free will, are obliged
to labor for a term of years. This is
] not, and cannot be prohibited by Con-1
. gross—because, in the famous Died
’; Scott case, the Supreme Court have es-;
j pecially decided in reference to Africans!
j under the Constitution, that “ the only
two ] revisions which [mintto them,and)
’| include them, treat them as property,!
j and make it the duty of Government to
j protect it ; no other power in relation!
to this race is to he found in tire Con-'
a itution ; and as it is a government oL

GAS FROM WOOD AND WATER,
by Choate & Tyler’s process, we are prepared to
sell individual or public rights for the use of
said Patent.
Among the many advantages these works have j
over all others, are the following :
Ist. The abundance and cheapness of the ma- j
terial from which the Gas is made, viz :
PINE WOOD AND WATER.
2d. The durability of the works when com
pared with others.
3d. The simplicity of the apparatus and process !
Any negro may be taught to make the Gas i
perfectly in a very short time.
Gas manufactured under this patent has been 1
in uninterrupted use at Kirkpatrick & I.eitner’s j
house, at Berzelia, on theGeergia Railroad, since j
July last, where it rnay be seen. They have a ,
very superior light for one foukth the price of i
Gas made from RosiD Oil.
Any communications addressed to either of the |
undersigned, at Augusta, will meet with prompt i
attention.
