MITCHELL, and JOSEPE HCLT, New Orleans, May, 1867. This is the first number of this very interesting scientific journal, sent us by the publishers, and we have perused it with great satisfaction. It is in all respects equal to tho best of tho Northern publications in this line. The first article by our late^townsman Dr. J. DICKSON BRUNS, on "Vivisec? tion,'* exhibits the versatility of that writer, with fte easy (j^ce-and brilliant diction, so character ietio of all .his productions. Hi? is the touch of | MIDAS. There are thirteen other original articles In this number of the journal, besides Foreigp Correspondence, Translations, Chronicle of Medi? cal Science, Editorials, and Reviews of Books and Periodicals, DEATH TO CORNS.-Those persons who have ever suffered from too large a crop of corns will be pleased to learn that Dr. OEOBQE B. WILSON, the celebrated chiropodist, is now in the city, and prepared, to make extracts from tho afflicted pe? dals. Dr. WILSON has been travelling through the South, and has won golden opinions from those whom he has visited and operated upon. His cer? tificates ar? of the lEost satisfactory nature, and his treatment has always proved successful. The Doctor ia stopping at the Pavilion Hotel, where fee, will he happy to receive patients, or if desired, fchoy can be waited on at their residence As Dr. WILSON'a stay is limited, all persons who desire to obtain relief from tro ubi esomc feet should call at one*. A THOROUGH commercial education is, perhaps, more needed at the present time than it ever was, and the dullness always prevailing during the summer months, offers admlrablo inducements to young men to commence the study of book-keep? ing and mathematics. By engaging in these studies at the present time, a knowledge of the tontine of business will be obtained that will bo of .. infinite value during life, and which alone onsuros . promotion. A few months given to the study of accounts, in their various phases, will bo time well spent, and, in after years, tho knowledgo ob ? tftjnad. will be of infinite val?o. ?Q obtain this knowledge, it is necessary to have the services of an experienced instructor or it mil be time misspent. As many persons anticipate renewing their acquaintance with figures, we tako pleasure in referring thom to tho card of Mr. J. BREVE GIBBES; accountant, at tho Charleston Li? brary Budding. Mr. GIBBES is prepared t i give instruction both morning and evening, and por BOUS wishing to acquaint themselves with the study, should form classes and attend at stated THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES are rapidly reverting to that puerility and worthlessness which characterized them during last winter, before tho . many remonstrances were made, which almost culminated in the formation of a Southern Asso .5.. ? * ? ?-oration. Almost daily we receive dispatches un ' important in character, of no public interest, re? cording facts we should nevor think of publishing from our exchanges. ? mordor in Wisconsin, a divorce in Iowa, or the burning of a small lavern in the north, of Minnesota. Such, and others still nore worthless, are the events we are called upon Rightly to report; while events of real magnitude, Important news, is not unfrequently entirely ig? nored. Thus we have had scarcely any dispatches of the p&i tic ulara of the recout European Peace Conference, and its effect in tho several great com? mercial centres of Europe. The recent riot in Mobile is an instance of this " blundering. We were tedd that th oro was a riot, "Md that men, black and white, were killed; bat of the cause, aud the nature of the disturbance, we beard nothing, neither in the first, nor the second dispatch on the subject. Another grievance we havo to complain of, in connection with this matter, is that our Mobile and New Orleans dispatches usually do not reach va till next day. AB OUT readers may be unable to understand V?by dispatches from Constantinople and from fian Francisco should reach us in a few hours, and those from Mobile not until next day-and as we - ourselves are unable to furnish tho necessary ex? planation, we hope- some of the telegraphers will Lelp us to solve this mystery. REMOVAL.-Although "variety is the spice of Ufe,'* it requires considerable courage to abolish old established roles, and land marks, and the mind reverts to past associations with an uncon? trollable longing. It was this feeling that caused io many of our merchants at the close of the war to reopen in their old stands, and these aro now occupied in nearly every instance by the same ten? ants. It is true that the war caused many changes, but it was found that old associations could not be changed, and the samo landmarks are in existence now as before that eventful' era. Broad Street suffered probably loss than any other as it was ocupied chiefly by Brokers and Lawyers, but some of the buddings have seen al? most a score of occupants. The old establishment of Messrs. WALKER & EVANS was first used as a commissary storo house, and subsequently as an Express Office, but tho former reputation of the stand induced Mr. JO? SEPH WALKER to remove from thc corner of Mar? ket and Meeting, and open his stationery and book department on the lower floor. Tho reputation already established by the firms of WALKER & EVANS and EVANS & COQSWELL, are a sufficient guarantee to Mr. WALKER that the momories of the past will aid in making an equally prosperous future, and the Broad street stand bo what it was in the palmy days of yoro. At present merely tho stationery and furnishing department has been removed to Broad street, thu printing office remain? ing at the old stand, but this arrangement is, wo pres?me, merely temporary, as thc Broad street building is so admirably adapted for the purposes intended that it would bo difficult to Uud a moro suitable location. We congrat?late Mr. WALKER on his move, and wish that with his improve.i fa? cilities his business may become what it was in the prosperous past. PRESS-PBANDIAL.-Our brethren of the Richmond Press on Monday night last treated themselves and their numerous guests to a grand banquet?t the Exchange Hotel. Truu to their "irregular habits," these editors did not sit down to their supper till ll o'clock, P. M.. au hour when all good Christians are fast asleep in their beds. Ocr brethren had a jolly time of it, it wo may judge by the reports brought us in our Richmond ox ohanges. The Hon. HORACE [GREELEY, editor of the New York Tribune, presided at tho head of tho table, whde on his right and left sat representatives of the ZYmesand Examiner newspapers of Richmond There were present at ?tho entertainment the fol? lowing named gentlemen : Horace Greeley, Now York Tribune; Ben. Porlcy Poore, Boston Journal; J. M. Fitch, Boston Post; ?. p. Brooks, New Orleans Republican; L. A. Go bright, Washington Agent Associated Proas; Mr. McConnell, New York Tribune; dr, O'Connell, New York Herald; Mr. McFarland, W ellington Chron? icle; W. H. Carrington, Philadelphia Inquirer; George Alfred Townsend, New York Tribune; Ed? ward Crapsey, New York Times; L. Q. Washing? ton, correspondent Loudon Spectator; George Shea, counsel for Mr. Davis during the late trial. There were also representatives of tho several Richmond newspaper offices. Mr. GREELEY replied to the first sentiment: "Tho reunited North and South," in a, speech doing foll pr?dit to the goodness of his heart, and his hon? esty of purpose. Mr. GREELEY, by-the-by, has fong since abjured the vegetarian creed; has learned to enjoy the good things of this world, and, it ie whispered, no longer indulges in suet copious aqueous imbibitions. In short, he hat become a real good fellow, full of bonhommie. Thoro were many speeches made, songs sung, good Btories told. In one word, there waa a rare dow cf fine spirits, such as is seldom witnessed round a banquet board. Such reunions cannot but contribute largely to the good work of reconstruc? tion. MAYOR'S COURT, May 17.-A female, who was peaceubly tight, but only tumbung abont to the damage of her hoop and other parts of her ap? parel, was discharged, with a particular request to let this be her last appearance this season. Three white boys, who were found asleep in a water cart, and whose clothes and skin would havo derived considerable moro benefit if they had laid down on the bed of a Btream, waa discharged with a warning. Two little black boys, who had grabbed apiece of iron from the steps of a residence, with the in? tention of selling it, were locked up five days each. COURT OF COMMON PJPEAS-HON. B. MUNRO pre? siding.-The Court resumed the consideration of the case of J. H. PLATE ns. the Carolina Mutual Insurance Company. T. Y. SIMONS, E.sq., for the plaintiflf, and Messrs. SIMONS & SIMONS for the de? fendants. A number of witnesses were examined, and the testimony elicited showed that, in October, 1858, Mr. PLATE kept a grocery store in Anson street, and had his stock insured at $1000. In tho same month he moved to Bokard street, and wished to continuo the samo insurance. This was agreed to by tho Company on condition that he would keep the same amount of stock on hand. It was found, subsequently, that he had not done this, and a short time after the discovery his store and house were burnt. The Insurance Company, be? lieving that the fire was the work of an incendiary, refused to pay the amount, and a suit was brought by Mr. PLATE to compel them to fulfil their agree? ments. The suit had been pending since 1858, and had beeq continued to the present session. Able arguments were delivered by the counsel, and after a charge from the Judge, the jury returned a verdict of UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT-HOD. GEO. S. BRYAN presiding.-In the case set for trial the de? fendant plead guilty, and the Jury were discharged to Tuesday next, when the trial of B. MCBRIDE for passing counterfeit fractional currency will be taken up. On motion of C. H. SIMONTON, Esq., JNO. W. CARLISLE, EDWIN H. BOBO, and SIMPSON BOBO, of Spartanburg; JAMES F. IZLAB, of Orangeburg; T. W. Aaa and C. P. TOWNSEND, of Marlboro', were admitted to practice in the Courts of the United States in South Carolina. -o Facts aro stubborn things, and cannot be gain sayed.

In the United States and British America it has become a household word. As a protective against malaria, epi? demic fevers, fever and ague, and other dis.ases pro? duced by miasmatic influences, it stands far ahead of all other preparations, and is so considered by the most eminent physicians of the day. In South and Central Amorica, Mexico and tho West Indies it has obtained a firm hold upon the minds of the people, and is implicitly rellod upon as a certain preven? tive and cure for the many malarious diseases incident to thoso tropical regions. In Australia, Tasmania, New Zooland, and adjacent Islands, Hs progress has boon marvolous.
