LOCAL ITEMS. HUG'S MOUNTAIN RAILROAD. ' / This old-established, but of late demolished, institution is gradually being reconstructed. A regular force is employed in laying down the iron as ; fast as it arrives, and the track has been brought to within two miles of the depot. If the work is carried on with the energy exhibited for the last 1 few weeks, the ears of our citizens will soon be 1 saluted with the snort of the iron-horse?a sound 1 which has been unheard here for nearly three ' years. We are pleased to learn that the engine belonging to this road, which was sent to Colum- ! bia for repairs during the winter, is ready for de- < f livery and will be here this week. The arrival of 8 this engine will greatly facilitate the work of re- 1 building, which has thus far been carried on under 1 great difficulties. GERRITT SMITH AND THE SOUTH. ' 1 Gerritt Smith is up in a long letter, vindicating lila drrnlnrr \fr Tiowla' Kail Knn/1 HTVm UIO A'XI . X/U 1 id IwMU l/VUUf X XVIVXXXX1VUU Enquirer in commenting on the letter, says: He discusses various themes, saying many very excellent things, and some vexy foolish things.? The South he considers in a very low and semiheathen state, and under everlasting obligations to the refined North for the good work wrought by i the late war! We can, of course, never be suffi- | ciently grateful for the gentle attentions and the . Christian charities dispensed by Sherman's bummers, and the beauty and fertility which yet mark their track! . But leaving the stuff of this sort with which ' Grerritt comforts his self-complacency, he discourses more like a sensible tpau, when he treats of the \ mode of wiping out the recollection of the late hostilities. He, indeed, talks about exacting and requiring this and that of the South, in the true spirit of fanatical self-conceit and lawlessness; but < in other expressions, we hear sentiments worthy of < a wise man and a Christian. He says: i The North must relieve the disfranchised class ( ,of the Southern whites of their political disabili- . ties. No possible good can come from this disk franchisement, and its effects on both blacks and ( whites are baa, very bad. Instead of diminishing i the political influence of its subjects, it does, by i means of the sympathy which it begets for them, \ if If to hnin fViof thn intonf rwf* fVio rlia. XUUC<?C iU Xb i0 UUO liuov vuw ttiwuv Vi vuv uio* franchisement was not to set the blacks above the J whites, but the loyal above the disloyal. Nevertheless, it does set the blacks above the whites; < and, by thus irritating the one and inflating the 1 other, it works evil to both. In the next place, the North must* hasten to put an end to these threats of confiscation. Congress ought to say with- 1 out one dissenting voice, and at the earliest day, ( that there should be no confiscation. The disfran- t chisement to which I have just referred is galling, i and, as the masses believe, insulting to its subjects. ( But these threats, paralyzing of the South, and s making even her bread uncertain, are infinitely less " bearable. They are fatally in the way of her ma- 1 terial prosperity. With the cloud they bring upon * her titles, she can neither sell her lands nor bor- i row upon them. What could be a more trying dis- i ability to an agricultural people who are destitute t of money ? Inat strong and patriotic man, Thaddeus Stevens, would have certain losses of loyal men repaired I would myself be glad to see a liberal per centage paid upon them. He would 1 provide the means out of confiscation, and at the i expense of the South ; I, out of the national treas- < ury, and at the expense of the nation. There are s three things which, in urging confiscation, Mr. j Stevens seems to forget Inst, that the Nprth, 1 as well as the South, was guilty of the war; se- 6 r cond. that while the North is still veiy rich, the c Soutn, exhausted by that war, for which the North 1 in common with herself was responsible, is exceed- j ingly poor: thirdj that confiscation, once entered i upon, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to set limits to the spread of its demoralizing power.? The spirit of lawless greed engendered by confiscation will no more stop at State or other lines, than ? will the flames of a prairie-fire at the word of command. Let there be confiscation in the South for the benefit of these, Mr. Stevens' loyal losers, and al- ' so for the benefit of the poor blacks, as he also pro- ] poses, and very soon, under its debauching influ- j ence, immense numbers at the North will be clam- , orinz, in the name of "Agrarianism," "Equalization ' Jind other taking names, for their neighbors' 1 possessions. And these rich possessions, it must be remembered, will kindle the spirit of robbery, ( as can none of the poor possessions of the desolated i South. Our government is getting in the way of t buying territory. There is a purchase it can make, ( which would be immeasurably more important ana profitable than the purchase of any territory. Let c it buy the Southern heart, worth more to us than 1 - -.1 J Al 1 xl 11 T> 4 a. luuusanu nay, iuuu txu xvussiu. * THE PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY. The Pennsylvania Democratic Convention which * met at Harrisburg, on the 11th, nominated Judge 1 George Sharswood for Judge of the Supreme Court, in the place of Judge Woodward, who de- c clined a re-election. From the platform which was ^ adopted amid "a storm of applause," we take the t V following. The people of the South will compare it with the clause of confiscation, and other scarce- . ly inferior outrages, which reach us from other poli- ? ticians of the North, and will decide in their own ' minds whether or not we arc indeed indifferent to i the issues of party struggles there, as some would teach us: ]Resolved, That we steadfastly adhere to the principles of civil government established by the founders of the Unionj and in the present conflict s of legislative usurpation with constitutional law, t we esteem a wise, upright, and fearless judiciary i the great bulwark of public liberty and individual i rights. _ < t That the Union of the States is perpetual, and the Federal government supreme within its constitutional limits. _ _ s That representation in the Congress of the United i States ana in the Electoral CoUcge is a right, fundamental and indestructible in its nature, and abid- ^ iug in every State, being a duty as well as a right pertaining to the people of every State, and essen- 1 tial to our republican system of government. Its i denial is the aestruction of the government itself. ? Each State having, under the Constitution, the exclusive right to prescribe the qualifications of its ( own electors, we proclaim as a usurpation and an * outrage, the establishment of negro suffrage in aDy of the States by the coercive exercise of Federal s power, and we shall resist to the last resort the ^ r threatened measures of the leaders of the Repnb- c lican party to interfere by acts of Congress with '.he i regulation of the elective franchise in the State of a Pennsylvania. I That the Kadicai majority in Congress, and those r who sustain them. have overthrown the ConstituI tion, dismembered the Federal Union and subverted our repulliean form of government by a long series of usurpations, among which are the following: ?he denial of the right of the States of the Union to representation in Congress; the treatment of ten btates as subjugated provinces, and governing them by military force in time of peace; the enactment o" laws denying indemnity for arrest and false imprisonment made without authority of law; the resistance of the authority of civil tribunals, and their overthrow by the substitution of military commissions for the trial of undefined offences ; their efforts to destroy the Executive and Judicial departments of the Government by the threatened impeachment, to control Executive action, and a projected remodeling of the Supreme Court of the United States, to enforce obedience to the venal mandates of Congress; the eiectment from their seats in the Federal Senate and House L of Representatives, of members duly and legally L chosen ; the purpose of confiscation, avowed by I the Republican leaders, in violation of the declaI ration of rights and other guarantees of Federal I and State Constitutions, tending, as it does, to desfc troy all protection to private property, advancing W them far on the high road to repudiation. 7 That a strict conformity, both by Federal and Suite government, to all powers, restrictions and guarantees, as contained in the Constitution of the United States; a rigid and wise economy in the administration of pimlic affairs ; and the election of capable, honest, and patriotic men to office, are measures absolutely necessary to restore public confidence, avert national bankruptcy, and to insure the perpetuity of our free institutions. ? l A Rebel Horse !?We lcam from a friend privy J to the fact, who is a gentleman of unquestioned veracity, that l>r. Lee, of Halifax, Va., has a horse which exhibits the greatest and most astonishing t aversion to blue colors. This horse served in the Army, and seems to have acquired his distaste for this color while in military service, as he showed no such disposition anterior to the war. He will not allow any one to approach him in a blue coat or jacket?gets frantic and wantS to tear it off.? On one occasion, while crossing a ferry, a negro with a blue jacket on happened to get near him, k ' and he jumped athimwitn tiger-like ferocity, and ftfe seizing the garment in his teeth, tore it clean off. (* It is no less remarkable, that he is as gentle as a r lamb if you approach him in grey or any other j Ik color than blue. CONTRIBUTORIAL. BY JA8. WOOD DAVIDSON. COLUMBIA. SOUTH QABOLIHA, &7TH JURE, 1867. The Negroes. This race of new citizens is fast falling into ill its rights and privileges. Several days ago a number of negroes availed themselves of General Sickles' Order 32, by riding in the passenger car of the South Carolina Railroad. The negroes of Columbia have petitioned the Council to be exempted from the payment of so much >f the city tax as is appropriated to the pay of free whools, until such time as their children be admitted to the benefit of those schools. Politeness. /Many persons, especially the young, do not conrider politeness as a moral duty. These many persons are wrong. It is as strictly wrong?morany wrong?to De ruae ir uncivil as it is to steal, or lie, or?anything else, [t may not be as great an offence to be uncivil as it is to 8teal; but both are wrong?morally wrong ?equally wrong. The insolent puppy who wantonly wounds the Peelings of some poor body who cannot resent it, is [in addition to being a contemptible coward) as ?reat a criminal as the poor man who steals a basket of corn to save his family from starvation. We need better laws. The Negro Church. The pious denomination of colored Baptists, led )y their earnest pastor, Bev. Wm. Johnston, have 1 pushed their design of building a church so far as ? have bought the lot, and have already paid $500 towards it They recently appointed a committee )f five to sol .cit donations in Columbia. The matter s looked upon with favor by the citizens, and ?untenance and aid will be extended cheerfully towards it. The influence of permanent societies )f this nature is felt to be elevating and in every ivay favorable. The negroes will doubtless realize nore good from one church, than they will from iorty political societies and Union Leagues. Amusements. During the past week, we have had two enterainments at Janney's Hall that fall under the lead of amusements. The former was a juggler's show, consisting of irestigiatoiy feats usual on such occasions. The AtvA??*Ai. no iiouq] - nnllo^ n 4CVUI UpClttWI UiU tw uouui jj uitvu m ;housand things out of some body's hat; did a good nany queer things with folks's watches; and shot )ff pistols; and pulled rabbits out of places, and scattered feathers about tbe stage; and made matches strike; and ? numerous other things 00 tedious to mention. The trick of the greatest mportance in the whole affair was the gathering n of half dollars at the door. The success upon he whole, as a pecuniary job, was fair, but by no neans wonderful. The other show was an Exhibition by the Colum)ia Varieties. These are young men of the city, vho are united into a regular society for this kind >f show. They Ethiopianize themselves and sing 0ngs, dance dances, speak speeches, and play the unny in a great variety of ways; quite up to the itandard of the itinerant Ethiopians of other lays, who used to take in our half-dollars for Yankee ized nigger fun. The success of these young nen is so decided that they never fail to draw a ull house. The Railroads. For several weeks this community has witnessed 1 farce of the railroads, with great and increasing istonishment. The community thought that a blunder must aave led to this snarl; but whose blunder, neither party nor the lawyers have clearly shown. But since that original blunder the community thinks diis keeping up the thing is extremely ridiculous, lot to say ludicrous. The Augusta Railroad in its construction reach:d the South Carolina Railroad several weeks ago, ind wished to build across it. To prevent this, :lie S. C. Railroad put a car, and sometimes a train if cars, to keep moving across the point where the ither road wished to cross; thus frustrating that purpose ? thus rendering it impossible to effect ;he crossing. This went on for weeks. The community thought this proceeding on the aP Q P PoiIvao/1 ttowt rrrufiorl on/1 JUiiV \JL bliV u? V? JLVCftlli. vttVA * VIJ uuvtiguutvu mi*m mcalled for. In fact, the community thought it decidedly :hildish and silly. The community may have been wrong; but it could think that. The community thought it uncalled for, because t supposed that the S. C. Railroad either had the egal right to forbid the crossing altogether, or had lot?one or the other. If the S. C. Railroad had the legal right to for )id the work, it should have exercised that right n the usual way; and if the Augusta Railroad ;hould, in the face of such legal right, still build he road in question, then the right of redress and emoval would certainly remain to the S. C. Rail oad; and thus the same end would have been atained without all this tomfoolery. If on the contrary, the S. C. Railroad had no such legal right to forbid the crossing, then it was lot ouly silly but criminal in the course pursued. We have not investigated the case ourself; but ve give what the community thought We have 10 stock in either road. Stock is likely to affect one's opinions about such things. The snarl was, for the time, disposed of a few lays ago by the city authorities, who interfered o remove the obstructing car (or engine) as a nuisance (we believe that is the technicality). This vas carried out by the Chief of Police and his ?rps of policeman, who rolled away the obstructng car; and then the Augusta Railroad was built icross. What a mare's nest! LETTER FROM GEN. LONGSTREET. The New Orleans papers publish the following etterfrom General Longstreet. We fear the jrencral is not as good a politician as he was a soldier. The letter is addrsscd to J. M. G. Par- i :er, of New Orleans. In it the General says: I shall be happy to work in any harness that promises relief to our distressed people, and hariiony to the nation. It matters not whether I .1 _ TVT_ Tk? .i.? M.Aniin \T? .Year uie uiauuc ui iur. anuria ul luc uiauuu ui Sumner, so that I may help to bring the glory of ( peace and good-will toward men.' i The sword has decided in favor of the North, ind what they claimed as principles cease to be principles, and are become law. The views that ! ve hold cease to be principles, because they arc opposed to law. It is, therefore, our duty to abandon . ideas that are obsolete, and conform to the reauirements of law. The military bill and amendments are peace offerings. We should accept them as such, and j place ourselves upon them as the starting point i from which to meet future political issues as they 1 irise. Like other Southern men, I naturally sought aliance with the Democratic party, merely because It was opposed to the Republican party. But, as iar as I can judge, there is nothing tangible about i t, except the issues that were staked upon the ivar and there lost Finding nothing to take hold )f except prejudice, which cannot be he worked in jo good for any one, it is proper and right that I i should seek some stand point from which good nay be done. i If I appreciate the principles of the Democrat- j c party, its prominent features oppose the enfran- ! ihisement of the colored man, ana deny the right j jo legislate upen the subject of suffrage, except by < he States, individually. I These two features have a tendency to exclude southern men from that party )vfor the colored j nan is already enfranchised here, arid we cannot ieek alliance with a party that would restrict his J ights. The exclusive right of the States to legisate upon suffrage will make the enfranchisement >f the blacks, whether for better or for worse, a ] ixture amongst us. It appears, therefore, that 1 Lose who cry loudest against this new order of hings as a public calamity, are those whose prin- j jiples would fix it upon us without a remedy.? . Hence it becomes us to insist that suffrage should J je extended in all of the States, and fully tested. The people of the North should adopt what they d have forced upon us; and if it be proved to be a f mistake, they should remove it by the remedy, un- ' der republican principles, of uniform laws upon suf- c frage. ,0 * ' ' e THE WHITE MAN AND THE NEGRO. t It has always been granted that there were radical differences of structure in the various races of ? men, but it is not generally known that the oppos- ? ing characteristics of the white man and black man are as great as they are said to be by Professor A- g gassiz. The following remarkable passage from c one of his late lectures will therefore be read with 1 interest, more particularly as he speaks with an authority that is seldom or never disputed, either J. here or in Europe: ? "I have pointed out over a hundred specific dif- r ferences between the bonal and nervous systems of T the white man and the negro. Indeed, their frames are alike in no particular. There is not a bone in * the negro's body which is relatively of the same 2 shape, size, articulation, or chemically of the same ? composition, as that of the white man. The ne- c gro's bones contain a far greater per oentage of calcareous salt than those of the white man; even the r negro's blood is chemically a very different fluid 1 from that which courses in the veins of the white ^ man. The whole physical organism of the negro ^ differs quite as much from the white man's, as it 3 does from that of the chimpanzee, that is, in his a bones, muscles, nerves and fibres. The chimpan- l zee has not much further to progress to become a e negro, thau a negro has to become a white man.? The fact science inexorably demonstrates. Climate * has no more to do with the difference between the ? white man and negro, than it has with that n between the negro and the chimpanzee, or than g it has between the horse and the ass, or the eagle t and owl. Each is a distinct and separate creation, t The negro and whjte man were created as different 1 as the owl and the eagle. They were designed to t fill different plans in the system of nature. The r negro is no more a negro by accident or misfortune, q than the owl is the kind of bird he is by accident p or misfortune. The negro is no more the white c man's brother, than the owl is the sister of the a eagle, or the ass is the brother of the horse. How 1 stupendous, and yet how simple is the doctrine c that the Almighty Maker of the universe has ere- a ated different species of the lower animals, to fill the different places aud offices in the grand scenery of nature! WHAT CONSTITUTES A RECEIPT T A correspondent proposes the following questions ; 1. "Is the man who acknowledges the receipt of a check in the shape of a letter, according to law, j required to put on a stamp on the receipt? 2. "Is the party who Days the money, required i to furnish the stamp for tne receipt he gets? To answer the last question first: We believe I there is no law compelling a person to give a re- J ceipt. It is an accommodation and a safeguard i for the payer of money. The receiver of money j can decline to give a receipt until it is stamped, (. and as a receipt is for the protection of the payer, I he is expected to furnish the stamp. The following extract of a letter from the Com- J mlssioner of Revenue, at the time it was written, | contains the answer to the first of the above que- j ries: <s Treasury Department, ) $ Office of Internal Revenue, V i Washington, January 20, 1865. j ( The law requires all receipts for the payment of ^ any sum of money, or for the payment of any debt due exceeding $20, or for the delivery of any prop- < ertyy to be stamped, excepting receipts for the sat- J isfaction of any mortgage or judgment or decree of ? any court, which are exempt. ? * * * * * ^ A credit on an account or pass-book, or on a bill S without a signature, is not a receipt, and is not subject to stamp duty. A letter acknowledging J the payment ox a debt due is, to all intents ana ? purposes a receipt, and subject to stamp duty as g sucn; but the acknowledgment of a note, check or draft, is not a receipt for money, nor yet of property, in the ordinary acceptation of that term, J and is not subject to stamp duty, unless specified to ? have been received in payment of a debt due ex- ! ceeding $20. JOSEPH J. LEWIS. Death of General A. P. Hill.?The spe- . cial correspondent of the New York Times. who has been visiting the works around Petersburg, { Virginia, rives the following account of the death t of General A. P. Hill, in a Tetter dated May 26th. o In connection with the defence of Fort Gregg, ? I must also mention a fact which I learn from General Mahone, in regard to the death of the distinguished Confederate corps commander, A. P. J Hill. General Lee's headquarters were but a short ( distance in rear of Gregg, in a house on the Boyd- r ton plank-road, between the fort and the town. At S the time Fort Gregg was carried, General Hill and 1 Mahone were in conversation with Lee, at his ? headquarters. As the firing grew nearer and nearer, Lee, intently listening to the sounds, suddenly . turned to Hill and said: "How is this, General ? Your troops are giving away." Upon this Hill mounted his horse, dashed to the front, but while galloping down tne road, ne suddenly came upon , two men in blue uniforms. "Throw down your J arms!" shouted the General. But the men i quickly sprang behind a tree, and, levelling their I pieces, fired. Hill fell from his horse dead. t 1 > o The Black Vote in the Future.?The No- 1 Hon says that the negro population of the South will have always to rely on its natural increase for y its growth, while the white population is swollen every year by an enormous immigration. Let it \ appear that political tranquility is once restored to tne South, and we may be sure that, slavery being * gone, the great and advancing tide, which is E now eating every year farther and farther into the ^ heart of the Western wilderness, will begin to steal very rapidly into the Southern forests, and to swamp the black vote eveiywhere. There is not the ghost of a chance that in ten years there will in any Southern State be a black majority, and that the ballot will be of any use to the negro, except to defend the fruits of his own toil. There is 4 danger just now, however, that the negro may be a led astray, and that his .education in civilization , may, by bad counsels, be made bitterer and harder than it need be. i _ f J@?Tn Paris a widow of 45 summers married a d young man aged 18. By her first husband she had a son whose age at the time of her second marriage was 21. She recently died, and by her will t left her fortune to her son and husband. As her t husband was not of age, her son was appointed his t guardian. ^???? a Jfiitairaal aitb Commtrrial. ?

THE Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery was organized in 1848. Chartered by the Legislature, February 28,1853. Name changed by a legislative enactment to the Eclectic Medical College of Philadelphia in 1880. In 1863 it purchased the Pennsylvania Medical College, established in 1842, and the Philadelphia Medical College, which had previously bean merged into the Pennsylvania Medical College. In 1884 itpurohss?ea the Penn Medical University. The Trustees of the separate schools united, petitioned, and obtained a special act of the Legislature, consolidating these institutions and changingtheir names to that of the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery, March 16, 1865. All these various acts are published in the statutes of Pennsylvania. The cost of the building and museum was over one hundred thousand dollars. It will be observed that the University, as now organized, is the legal representative of the four Medical Colleges that it has absorbed. It is a liberal school of medicine, confined to no dogma, nor attached to any medical clique; but embraces in its teachings everything of value to the profession. Sessions.?It has two full sessions each year, commencing on the 1st of October, and continuing until the 1st of January as its first session, and from the 1st of January to the 1st of April as its second; the two constituting one full course of lectures. It has also a summer session, commencing the 1st of April and continuing until August for the preparatory branches, such as Latin, Greek, Mathematics. Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, etc. Tickets.?Tickets to the full course of lectures $120, or $00 for each session. For the summer or preparatory course $25. Graduating fee $30. To aid young men of moderate means, tne University has Issued five hundred scholarships, which gre sold to first course students, for $75. and to second course students and clergymen for $60, each constituting the holder a life member, with the perpetual privileges of the lectures, and all the teachinfra nf fhn u/?Hr\Al Thn nnlv orlHiHr?nq 1 fftAfl ATA A yearly dissecting and matriculating ticket, each of which is $5. _ The Advantages of Scholarships.?The student holding a scholarship can enter the Collie at any time during the year, attend as long as he chooses, and re-enter the institution as frequently as desired. , 'V.v It requires no previous reading or study to enter the University on scholarships, hence, all private tuition fees are saved. Students, by holding scholarships, can prosecute . other business a part of the time. The candidate for graduation can present him' self at any time, and receive his degree as soon as qualified. In case a student should hold a scholarship and , not be able to attend lectures, it can be transferred I to another, thus preventing any loes. Parents, guardians, or mends of students wishing to purchase scholarships for them a year or more before their attendance at the University, can secure them by advancing one-half the price, and paying the balance when the student enters, i Phyaiciana^and benevolent men can bestow great i benefit upon poor young men, by presenting them a scholarship, and thus enabling them to obtain an honorable profession. The Faculty embraces seventeen eminent phy sicians and surgeons. The University has associated with it a large hospital clinic, where every form of medical and surgical disease is operated , on and treated in the presence of the class. College Building.?The College building, located in Ninth Street, south of Walnut, ia the finest- in the city. Its front ia collegiate gothic, and is a; domed with embattlemente and embrasures, presenting a novel, bold and beautiful appearance.? , The facade is of brown stone, ornamented by two , towers, rising to the elevation of efghtyfeet, iand 1 crowned* with an embattled parapet. The buiidr ing contains between fifty and sixty rooms, all [ supplied with water, gas, and every other convenience that modem improvement can contribute to facilitate medical instruction. Only five hun. dred scholarships will be issued, and as two hundred and fifty are now sold, those who wish to secure one should do so at once. Money can be xe - mitted by express, or a draft or check sent on any ' National Bank in the United States, when the > scholarship -will be returned by mail, signed by j the President of the Board or Trustees, Jos. a.
