Mwllcat College or Georgia.
We would call attention to the adver-;
i 1
tibement, in this day’s paper, of this]
popular Institution. It is one of the]
oldest Colleger in the Soutfi, has one!
of the best museums in the country, to i
which yearly additions ara in ado; its
professors are men well known through- !'
out the country to the profession, and j
most of them have had long experience i;
in the discharge of their aiducus du-]
ties. Young men who intend adopting
the Medical Profession, cannot tind bet
ter instructors than the Faculty of this
Institution, and for all practicable pur
poses, there is no deficiency for subjects
in illustrating Anatomy or Surgery
This College has turned out some of the
most eminent physicians in the country.
It will be seen that the annual course j
of Lectures will commence on the firs! )
Mouiiay in November next, and we l
would advise students to be punctual j
in their attendance.
The (Governor's Proclamation.
Wo gave yesterday an abstract from ;
the recent Proclamation issued by Gov- i
era or Brown, instructing the State,
Treasurer to receive the bills of certain
banks only, which made their returns in
compliance with the law of 1857. We ■
publish below a communication fiom a
particular friend, who desires “Light”:
on the subject of the proscribed iiauks. i
We can only say that we think the j
additional oath required is an objection
able one in many respects, in our opin- I
ion, and that the Bunks whose notes are
to be refused at the State Treasury, are
ill solvent ami specie paying institu
tions—no better-ran be found in any
State in the Union—and some of ■
them stood the late panic, without a
suspension of specie payments.
Mr. Editor .—-Are the Banks of An- ■
gusta and Savannah enumerated, (in
the enclosed article cut from your yes- 1
terday's paper, i.as “delinquent” and:
as having "failed to make their re
turns,” really delinquent 7 or did they all
make returns of their condition, and
append the ".mat oath —and disregard
only the requirement of our Book keeping i
Governor for an extra oath, the propri-1
ety and necessity o: which under the I
late law, h doubted by many of the
ablest Lawyers. Are the said Banks
sound and solvent and specie paying now 7
And if so, did they resume specie pay
ments at the same time with the Banks

' From Ike Columbus Tima, 27 Ot mot.]
(seaborn Jones vs. The City of Co*
lumliiM.
This ease has recently been decided ,
by the Supreme Court adveisely to the
city of Columbus. We understand that
the position was taken by counsel in the I
argument, and sustained by the ruling
of the Court, that., under the law. the j
■ ity had not the right, in this instance, ;
to levy a special tax for railroad pur ;
poses. In 1847, our Legislature pissed j
an act authorizing the corporate author- •
ities of this city to levy a lax, of two]
per cent, for "railroad purposes.” In I
the body of the act. the application of
the proceeds of said ax was limited to
the payment ts the bonds (and the in
terest tuweon) wb were issued to the
Muscogee Hall road Company. The city
afterwards became a subscriber to the
Mobile & Girard, and the Montgomery
amt West Point Railroads. To the for
mer her credit was given in bonds
to the amount of $300,000 and to the
latter ss* ,000 To meet the interest
annually accruing upon the above debt,
the tax in question was levied It was j
resisted by the plaintiff in error, and !
the litigation arising therefrom has, at j
length, resulltdi in the decision re- 1
ferriHt to. As much as we regiet. j
the temporary inconvenience t<> which
the ci'v will tie subjected, we will not]
question the propriety of tbo decision !
Perhaps, as the law stands, it would ,
be impossible to justify a contrary judg
ment. But tluit the resulting inconve
nience will be temporary wo have not a
doubt. The sentiment of our citizens is '
unanimous that the credit of the city ,
shall be protected. Her creditors may
abide in the assurance that the damning I
stain of repudiation will never blor her
fair name. There is not a man within
her limits whose cheek does not flush
at the mention of tbo word. To pro
tect her from this disgrace her [leople
must act. The Legislature must be pe
titioned, the law must be passed ; the
tax must be collected. Nor let it be j
imagined that there is anything appal- j
ling in tbe magnitude of this tax. The
annual interest on these bonds is $2-1.-'
000. in 1800, the fiat installment of]
the principal of the bonds is due, and j
then and thereafter a»: annual payment -
■of ‘Jo,OOO must be made thereon. In
that year, therefore, the largest Rail
road tax which will ever be levied will
rreach $50,000. It is obvious that the
interest mild, diminish every year, as a
portion of the bonds will, as often, be
ran celled.
Mow let us»ee what are t'ne resources
of the city for meeting thie indebted
ness The retd estate in the city is val
ued at $2,600,000. Two per cent, upon
this amount, alone, would yield SOO,-
000. This, as .me have said, would pay j
the Railroad tax for 1860. Bet there
are other properties of large valueß
which ate taxable—personal property of
every description, sales of merchandize,
Ac., and it is estimated that a tax of one
and a quarter per cost, upon the whole
would pay the tax even for dial year.
But it must not be forgotten that the
tax payer gets a partial return for his
money. For every hundred dollars |<
which he pays for lailrowl purpotee, he i
.receives one share of stock in the Mobile ‘
jad Girard Railroad. Without cousi- 1
deling the utUimle ail vantages to him, 1
therefore, he is “out of pocket” only
the amount of the tax less the value of j
.be stock. let it be remembered, also, |
that by the winter of 1866- ’6O, the Mo- <
bile it Girard Railroad will have reached Ji
i } n '°n Springs. It will then be unencum
i'.vied witli debt, and, if any reliance-
I whatever can bu placed upon.human!
j speculation the dividend? of the road,!
j thenceforth, will enable thecity greaf.l.
]to reduce her taxes. Hut .whether this 1 -“
j prediction be verified or not : if the op-] i
eration of the road be profitless and the, 1
i stock worthless : nay, should an earth-M
j quake swallow it, the obligations of the 11
i city will be prompflv met. s

lates the foliowing incident in the cars,
after leaving Pittsburg.
“As we left the city, wo observed a
'small boy, named Stitt, about 12 yeaiv
jot age, poorly clad, but very intelligent,
;having with him an infant ten months
'old, the child of bis sister, who died aj
few weeks ago. The lad had brought the
infantfrom lowaCity, where the mother
died, and was on his way to Harrisburg.
The young uDele had cared for it. and
nursed it all the way—a weighty charge
for one so young. It would not perhaps,
have been so much remarked had a
i young girl been the custodian of the
] orphaned babe, but here was a mere hoy
] putting away childish things and assn ;
mlng all the cares and responsibilities of ,
a parent, during a journey of a thousand
'miles at least. The passengers man
ifested the greatest interset in the little
wayfarer and his chaige, the ladies
especially, in turn relieving the lad of
his burden, as he appeared to he almost :
exhausted with bis long journey. Such ■

[From the London Quarterly ]
"VVonrfcrs of Hie Human Symeiu.
Pftley applauds the contrivance by ]
which everything we eat and drink is ;
made to glide on its rood to the gullet,
over the entrance of the windpipe with- I
out falling into it. A little moveable
lid, the epigiofU, which is lifted up
when we breathe, is pressed down upon
the chink of the air passage by the
weight of the food and the action of 1
the tnus de# in swallowing it. Neither !
bo lids nor liquids, in short, can puss i
without shutting down the as !
they proceed. But this is only a part!
of the safeguard. The slit at the top;
of the v-indpipe, which never closes en
tirely when we breathe, is endowed
with an acute sensibility to the slightest
particle of matter. Tbe least thing
which touches the margin of the aper
ture causes its si.ics to come firmly to- '
getuer, and the intruding body is stop- j
ped «it the inlet. It is stopped, but, un-1
less removed, must drop at the next in- j
spiriti.»n into the lungs. To elect its !
expulsion, the sensibility of the rim at!
the top of the windpipe actually puts 1
iuto vehement action a whole class of j
muscles placid lower than its bottom,
and which, compressing the chest over j
which they are distributed, drive outjj
the air with a force that sweeps the of- j*
tending sitbstance before it. ,
The convulsive coughing which artac?
i when we are choked, is the energetic i
| effort of nature for our relief when any
thing chances to have evaded the pro
; lectin# epiglottis. Vet this property,
to which we are constantly owing onr
| lives, is confined to a single spot in the
j throat. I does not, as Sir Charles Bell
I affirms, belong to the rest of the wind
pipe, but is limited to the orifice, where
i alone it is needed. Admirable, too, it
|is to observe that, while thus sensitive
I to the most Jxisignificant atom, it bears,
without resentment the atmospheric
currents which are constantly passing
jto and fro over its irritable Bps. “It
| rejects,' ’ say BPa ley, “the touch of a
crump of bread, or a drop of water,
'with a spasm that convulse* the whole
| frame ; and yet, left to itself and its 1
] proper office, the intermission of air!
j alone, nothing can be so quiet. It does
| not even make ii self felt; a man does
j not know that he has a trachea/’ This
I capacity of perceiving with such actne
i ness, this impatience of offence, yet per
ifeet rest and ease when let alone, ait*
; properties, one would have thought,
j not likely to reside in the same subject, j
I It is to the junction, however, of these j
I almost inconsistent qualities in this, as
well us in some other delicate parts of
.the body, that we owe our safety and
our comfort—our safety to their sensi
•bility, our comfort to their repose.
Another of the examples adduced by j
i Bell is that of the heart. The famous !
1 Dr. Harvey examined, at the request of
, Charles I, a nobleman of the Montgom
i cry family, who, in consequence of an 1
j abscess, had a fistulous opening into,
j the chest, though which the hearts
i could be seen and handled. The great i
physiologist was astonished to find it in-1
sensible. “I then brought him," he;
siiys, “tothe king, that he might be- j
hold and touch so extraordinary a thing, !
' that he might perceive, as I did. that,
I unless when we touched the outer skin, !
or when he saw our fingers in the cavity,
this young nobleman knew not that we ;
.touched the heart. Yet it is to the j
P heart that we refer our joys, our sor
rows, and our affections ; we speak of a 1
good hearted and a bad-hearted, a true-,
I I hearted and a heartless man, Shielded j
‘: from physical violence by an outwork
L jof bones, it is not invested with sensa- j
tions which could have contributed noth-.
1 ing toils preservation, but, while it can
’ he grasped w ith the fingers, and give no 1
intimation of the fact to its possessor,
;it unmistakably responds to the varied j
r j questions of the mind, and, by the j
general consent of mankind, is pro—
-1 nounced the seat of our pleasures, ;
griefs, sympathies, hatreds and love. — i
Persons have frequently dropped down j
dead from the vehemence with which it
contracts or expands upon the sudden j
j announcement of good or bad news—its
1 ; muscular walls being strained too far in j
I the upward or,downward direction to en
able them to return—and one of the!
’ purposes which this property of the
! heart is probably designed to subserve !
!is. to put a check upon the passions
through the alarming physical >ensa
| tion they excite.
The brain, again, is enclosed in a,
bony case. All our bodily sensations 1
!arc dependent upon the nerves, but:
| jeven the nerves do not give rise to fecl
| |ing unless they are in connexion with.
| the brain. The nervous chord, which, !
! in familiar language, is called the spinal
[marrow, is the channel by which this
communication is kept up in the major
'part of them ; and when a section of j
| what may be termed the great trunk;
for the conveyance of our sensations is
|diseased, and by the breach in its con
thruity, the nerves below the disordered
part can no longer send their accustom-1
I ed intelligence to the brain, the portion j
of the body which thus becomes isola
; ted may be burned or hacked, and no
, more pain will result than if it belong-1
<;d to a dead carcas instead of to a!
‘ living man. The brain, therefore, in j
.subordination to the mind, is thephysi-1
cal centre of all sensation. Yet, strange
I I to say, it is itself insensible to the
• wounds which are a torture to the skin, ;
jam! which wounds the brain, alone, eiv
jablea us to feel. “It is as insensible. ’ i
I jsays Sir Charles Bell, “ as the leather of!
‘ our shoe, and a piece may be cut off I
: j without in t err opting the patient in the
| ‘sentence that be is uttering. Because!
i the bone which envelopes it is its pro
jection against injury from without . it'
' i lias no perception of them when direc
ited against its own fabric, though it is,
jat the same time, the solo source of the
j pain which these injuries inflict upon
I I the other portions of the system. But
| the skull is no defence against the ef
fect of intemperance, or a vitiated at- ;
[mosphere, or too great mental toil. To
those consequently, the same brain
! which lias been created insensible to the
cut of a knife, is fully alive, and giddi
iness, headache, and apoplectic oppres
sions give ample notice to us to stop
the evil, unless we are prepared to pay
the penalty.

From heart-} so Jan-, serene.
But list—ah ! *ocn the dreaded note
That mark* life'- progress o’er,
And death’.-j stem liat now goes forth,
A mother Is no more •
Ah ! who hut those that e'er ban kttowu
A bitter hour like this.
Can tell the emotions ol the heart
Bereft of all its Mias ’*
A mother gone, a wife root < ! ear,
A kind and loving friend—
No tongue ea* tell, no pen port ray
The anguish of the heart.
Ve * eep the briny drops of woe—
Then chide us not for thin.
For Egypt** (-lings around
Our evorv hope of bliss .
But. -till, with praise- on our lips,
We'll chanot our requiem* o'er,
Ami ne’er forget the great Triune
Who guides us ever more.
; And when ai eventide wc me--t
In yonder’silent grove,
To sprinklo flowers o'er her grave,
And join our prayers of love,
i We'll the knee submissive bow
j To His mysterious ways
Aud give to Hi* most hallowed name
Our everlasting praise.
And then, at morning’s peaseful hour,
j We’ll rise and wend our way
T" that sequestered spot most -ie.-r.
Where ’twos her wont to pray .
• And with the forest birds unite
Our matin songs of love
With accents clear, aud hearts sincere.
To Him who reigns above. K. B. T \
