The entertainment which will, without doubt, be a most agreeable one—being under the immediate superintendence of Prof. Duesbkrry—will com mence at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, aud continue, probably, until 10 or 11 o’clock, P. M. The chil k dren, we suppose, will be allowed to enjoy them selves during the afternoon ; while the evening will be given to the ladies and gentlemen present tj join iu the “giddy mazes of the dance.” The supper, we arc informed, is to be got up in » -■BLioo‘l If. ami at no litile expense. The tickets • • mfor the parly are to be sold at one dollar each, and it is to be hoped that a liberal patronage will be extended to our young friends on this interesting occasion. We certainly wish them ami their guests success, and much pleasure with their party. Handsome Kind mg. Some sspecimeus of book binding have been shown to us recently, which, for durability, aud neatness of execution, will compare favorably w ith work of the kind done anywhere. ThesS speci mens consist of volumes of Shakspeare's works, bound in leather, ledger style, heavy and durable, and the ornamental work done very ueaily aud handsomely. They are from the VhrenicU <€• Sen tinel Book Biudery, and from the hands of Mr. P. R. Rose, to whom the credit is due, and fully de served. Our city readers may see these volumes at the store of Messrs. Plumb A Leitnkr, for a few days. There is no necessity of sending work of this * kind abroad, when we have such competent work men as Mr. Rose in our own city, and win n it can be done as neatly, as cheaply, and as durably, as anywhere.

Editor Constitutionalist : Iu your paper of the 21st instant, I notice a communication, under the above head, in which great injustice is done the friends of Judge Douglas, and Judge Douglas himself. I am astonished at this, because the proceedings of the House will show that the “ Douglas Democrats” have been the most uncom promising opponents of the Republican party, in that body. In caucus, and in the House, they have stood boldly and uncompromisingly as Demo crats, worthy of the name; and that, too, iiuder circumstances that would have Iried the courage of almost any man. Let “Interior” look to the record, and he w ill find the name of every “ Doug las Democrat” recorded in favor of the Hon. Thos. S. Bocock for Speaker. Let him look at the de bates, and he will lino them occupying a position as Democrats worthy of imitation by many men in our section of the Republic. Instead of declar •ng, as too many have done, that if this or that man was nominated they would not support him like true Democrats, they declare their confidence in the Democratic party, and pledge their uncon ditional support of the nominee of the Charleston convention. Does “Interior” occupy a like posi tion? Iu the debate iu the House yesterday, Mr. Fouke, of Illinois, said, “He would"say, once for all, to the Democrats North and South, that Ste phen A. Douglas would support the nominee of the Charleston convention, whoever he might be.” When asked by a Black Republican, from the same State, “ Would he support him on any platform?” he replied, “ He w’ould support him against a Re publican.” Can the people want any better l);tno crats than these “ Douglas Democrats ” have •roved themselves to be? And if so, where are they to be found ? If the communication of “Interior” has anv ob ject, it is to prove that “the tendency of Douglas ism” is to gravitate towards a party whose basis is avowed hostility” to the institutions of the South. In this “Interior” does injustice to Judge Douglas. Was there anything in the desperate contest in Il linois that looked|hke “gravitating” towards Re publicanism ? His whole political life has been one of continued war against the enemies of the South. From the hustings, before an “Abolition mob.” threatening his life—a mob flatbed by the enraged brutality of enraged fugitives, armed, ex cited—he boldly proclaimed the constitutional rights of the South to have these very slaves re turned. Every where—in the North, in the South— has he declared that southern property has as much the right of constitutional protection in the Territories, as northern property; and that the de crees of the courts, interpreting the Constitution irom northern and southern men alike, own a pro tection from the President himself, which that of ficer himself would be a traitor not to furnish. Is it the “tendency” of such sentiments to “gravi tate towards” Black Republicanism? The bold and fearless defender of Andrew Jack son stands to day, w here he stood when he deliver ed his memorable speech in defence of that good “old Democrat,” a Jackson Democrat, and neither the revilings or persecutions of his eueuiies cun drive him from his position. Why, Mr. Editor, instead of the “tendency of Douglasism” being “to gravitate” towards the enemies of the South and its institutions, Ihere is no man in the country whom they hate and fear as they do Stephen A. Douglas. Yours truly, A Southern Rights Democrat. . From the Philadelphia Bulletin, Dec. 22. Departure of the Medical Students. About two hundred seceding medical students left the city for the South by the eleven o’clock train last night. They were escorted off bv a num ber of their class-mates, who cheered them lustily as the train moved off from the depot at Broad and Prime streets. The escort made considerable noise as they returned to the city after the depar ture of the tram. We learn that the great majori ty of the secedeis have taken the responsibility of leaving their schools without consulting their pa rents or guardians. The following are the preamble and resolutions adopter, -t the student’s meeting, held at the As sembly building on Tuesday morning : Resoloed, That a committee of five be appointed to wait upon Drs. P. C. Luckett, Hunter and Mc- Guire, to request their presence at this meeting ; and that these gentlemen, who, we believe, will freely, cheerfully and fearlessly devote their efforts to bring about a proper state of feeling among ;-outhern students, and will sacrifice every pecuni ary interest and bright prospects'of professional preferment, be requested thus to announce pub licly their position, and accompany us to our southern institutions. The persons named above were introduced, and made speeches approving of the course proposed to be pursued, and consenting to accompany them. The following preamble and resolutions were then read and approved : Whereas, We have left our homes aud congrega ted m this city, with a view to prosecute our medi cal studies, and having become fully convinced that we have erred in taking this step; that our means should have been expended, and our protec tion afforded to the maintenance and advancement of institutions existing in our own sections and fostered by our own people. Resolved, That in a body, or as many as ap (>rove of the act, secede from the institutions in which we have severally matriculated, return to the .South, and herein pledge ourselves to devote our future lives and best efforts to the protection of our common rights and the promotion of our common interests. Resolved, That in taking this step vve dis claim sny personal animosities, and deprecate any political agitation. Resolved, That we tender our grateful acknowl edgments and heartfelt thanks to the Hon. Henry A. Wise, Governor of Virginia; Dr. L. S. Joynes, Dean of ihe Virginia Medical College, at Richmond; Henry R. Frost, Deau of the Medical Department of the University of South Carolina; to President Robinson, of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, and all others who have ex tended to us the substantial encouragement and aid so essential to the furtherance and successful accomplishment of our enterprise. Resolved, That we extend u cordial invitation, and will cheerfully welcome in the South any northern student who will subscribe to the previ ous resolutions. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to all northern Medical Colleges, for the ben efit of southern students who may have matriculat ed in them. Resolved, That the southern papers generally be requested to publish the proceedings of this con vention. COMMEItOIAL. - 4nrata .Market, December 30—© I* .M.

The New Orleans Crescent is alway loquac'ous about the cotton business. In its issue of the 24th December, it has something to say ab >ut the detention of cotton at the presses ).n that city. We extract a portion of it. Buyers and shippers of cotton cannot make out whv there are so many complaints. * * Large operaiors in exchange. • based on documents, are adopting new regulations—-requiring security and guarantee that the cotton will he on shipboard * win in a reasonable time. * * Aidfhe talk is. that l many shipmasters are decidedly offish about signing bills of lading for cotton snugly stored or piled up in warehouses or i In presses. * * Are the many hundred bales stowed up, piled up. ten lier Ligli ou the streets, side-walk* and vacant tots, eonsidi red as le-tag in warehouse or under cover of the sheds of the several presses? Does a tar; aulin, or a h«lf _ dozen tarpaulins, embrace all the requisites of a warehouse? The general talk appears to be that there is a great deficiency if in warehouse room for the cotton storage, notwithstanding there has been an increase for the last ten years. Unless the I. staple is moved otf with more rapidity, we shall have a larger stock on hand than ever before which will create some talk among underwriters. The risks now are very large, and some 1 * of the local offioeahaveto reinsure with the ageneie of foreign offices. * * it is plainly manifest that our local oi L ‘ home companies—though we have twelve—have full as many #- risks as prudence and safety require, or rather the majority o tn. m baye The value of cotton alone now uuder insurant le fuily twenty-fcve millions of dollars against fire alone. BY TELEGRAPH. Congressional. Washington, Dec. 30.—There was nothing of importance done in the Senate to-day. That body adjourned until Tuesday. in the House, Mr. Boyce, of South Carolina, made a speech in which he alluded to the daugers of Black Republicanism, and in support of the South. Mr. Hickman, of Pennsylvania, endeavored to get the question taken on the plurality rule. Mr. Clark, of Missouri, wished to obtain a vote on the anti-lIELPER resolution, but did not suc ceed. There was no ballot for Speaker to-day. The House udjourned until Tuesday, by a ma jority of two votes. Representative Difficulty. Washington, Dec. 30. —Yesterday, during the debate in the House, Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, applied the word “ ungeutlemanly” to Mr. Branch, of North Carolina. The latter requested a retrac tion of the epithet, which was refused. It was supposed that the affair would be settled by the friends of the parties, but it is now understood that a direct challenge has been passed. The Tehuantepec Route. . Walhington, Dec. 30,1859. —The negotiation of the treaty with the Liberal Government of Mexico has revived the hopes and enterprises of various parties who have heretofore initiated measures for the construction of railroads across Mexican terri tory, in order to effect a more speedy and reliable communication with the Pacific coast. The Tehuantepec route was a favorite with the Polk, and the succeeding administrations; for, while it would secure the important objects con templated, it was regarded as a basis of accommo dation to the interests of all sections of our coun try. The President, iu his instructions to Mr. McLane, was particular in providing for the protection of the rights and immunities of all the citizens of the United States, without regard to any individual schemes or enterprises whatever, in connection with the transit privileges thus far secured. But, at the same time, the present government, wishing to be faithful to its obligations, will doubtless re spect its existing contract with the Louisiana com pany, the operations of which, on the Isthmus, were, it is known, suspended several months ago, owing to pecuniary embarrassments. Both Governments guarantee the neutrality of the transit routes, and will protect them, if necessary, by military force ; but this protection cannot he claimed or expected, unless the railroad company transport troops, munitions of war, aud military supplies of either Government at half the rates charged M other parties or private individuals. This appears to be the condition of the protection, as stipulated in the treaty. There cannot be a doubt that our Government will take, if it has uot already taken measures to encourage the re-opening of the Tehauutepec route, and that Mr. McLane, before he left the United States for Mexico, understood fully the views of the Administration on this subject. Gentlemen interested in the Tehauntepec route confidently say that it will be re-opened under more favorable auspices than heretofore. The company for that purpose is to be re-organised, and a more efficient management secured. It is esti mated that eight millions will be sufficientto con struct the road, although it has been proposed to make the capital twenty millions. Mr. La Sere, connected with the Louisiana com pany, stands in high favor with the Liberal Gov ernment of Mexico. He was a true and firm friend in other days to both Juarez and Ocampo; and more recently, when the Reactionists threatened Vera Cruz, he placed a steamer, belonging to his company, at the disposal of the Liberal Govern ment, which it used with advantage in the neigh borhood of Vera Cruz. This gentleman, in con junction with Mr. Benjamin, will, it is said in quarters usually well informed on such subjects, visit Vera Cruz on busines connected with this railroad, and in order to effect such modifications of their contract as will the better further their enterprise ; and in this errand it is as reliably as serted, they will have the co-operation of Mr. McLane. These movements are in part, however, based on the supposition that the treaty will be duly ratified. From Sackville. Sackvillr, Dec. 30.-3 o’clock, P. M. —There are no signs of the steamer Canada at Halifax yet. A snow storm is prevailing here. Additional by the North Britton. Portland, Dee. 30.—At London, on the loth of December, Sugar and Coffee were reported steady; Tea unchanged ; and Rice heavy and easier.

DEVINEAU, aug3l Box 607, Charleston, S.C. DALY’S AROMATIC VALLEY WHISKY! IN this age of adulterated and deleterious Liquors, it is a source of great sat isfaction to be able to introduce to pub lic notice the above article—an article of unquestioned purity and possessing no qualities except such as have the most favor! able influence on the human constitution. A few roods of soil on the banks of the Rhine produce the grape, which will flourish no wheteelse, from whose juice pro ceeds the “J, hannisberg,” the eboicist wine of the woTld. A few acres of land in Cuba produce a Tobacco, the flavor and quality of which, when manufactured into Segats, are in comparably Superior to that of the product of any other soil And a nano strip of laud in the Parish of Natchitoches, in Louisiana, lias long supplied the world with a super-excellent article of Snuff, from such Tobacco as cannot be induced to grow elsewhere. In like manner, it has long been known that a limited terri tory, lying in the valley of the Monongaheia river, exclusive ly brings forth a Rye, of properties so marked and peculiar, that its distillation produces a Whisky of such superlative character r.s places it beyond rivalry. By a process recently i.iscovcred, and now known only lo tny manufacturer, the grain from Ihe choicest spot of this fa vored locality is made to yield the AROMATIC VALLEY WHISKY, with whhhno other can stand an instant’s com parison. I have no apprehension of being accused of publishing un warrantable, or even exaJßterated encomiums, by any one who will first subject my Whisky to the test. It is now the standard article at all the first class Hotels and Clubs in the city of New York; and wherever it is lnttoduced, it at once assumes its leading position ; is awarded the Palm of Superiority ; and the demand Tor it becomes a thing estab ished. Its medicinal properties are such that, while its immediate effects are pleasant and grateful, it exercises the happiest per manent influence upon tli constitution. I have analyzed a sample of DALY’S AROMATIC VAL Lt Y WHISKY, and find it to be a pure article, of tine flavor, and without any deleterious admixture. JaMEs R CHILTON, M. D., Chemist, New York. State Assayed* Office, Sit Somerset St.,) Boston, April 17th, 1858. { W. H. Dai.t, New York: 1 have made achemical analysis of your AROM ATIC va L LEY WHISKY’, and find it a pure, flueflav .red Kye Whisky, containing no injurious matters of any kind ; and I would re commend it as suitable for medical and public purposes. CHAS. T. JACKSON, State Assayer. W. H. Daly : Your AROMATIC VALLEY YVHISKY is received; and after careful examination. 1 find It to be a pure article, entirely free from the adulterating ingredients so fre quently used. ■" Yours,respectfully, JAS.
