Tho male students say that they do not object to the presence of ladies, except duving thc performance of certain opcrsiinno, ? knowledge of which would do them no good. As matters now s'.mid, the ladies arc allowed to witness the exposure or males, but all male students are carefully exclu? ded whenever a woman is thc subject. The stu? dents, very justly, say that they are not given fair play. It is also urged that thc presence of ladies at snch operations as lithotomy and peri? neal section, induces a reserve on the part or the surgeons which is not only damaging to the pa? tient but a hinderance to success. An illustra? tion occurred the other day at the Blakely Alms? house, where a very delicate operation failed be? cause ladies were present. Fashionable Philosophy. The Positive Philosophy has at length be? come Americanized. It has received the learned recognition of Harvard, where Pro? fessor James Fiske will "sum up the labors "of Comte, Mill, Spencer, and all the mod "ern philosophers and scientists." Boston, of course, is in transports, and the New York World, mindful of past editorial ser? vices, lauds the Professor and publishes his inaugural with a great flourish.of trumpets. Henceforth let it be known that the meta? physicians, the theologians and the trans? cendentalists have bad their day. Emerson, the Massachusetts Plato, may follow Tho? reau's example, and hide.himself in tho woods. The party of moral ideas who have controlled " the Hub " most be disbanded. The creeds of yore must be consigned to the museums of archeology. The doctrinal and ethical conclusions which have heretofore ruled American thought and lrfe must sub? mit to r?visai and even to. denial until they shall be scientifically proved. A principle must be esteemed untrue until it shall be demonstrated by precisely the same methods as those which prevail in geometry. We have read with a good deal of interest the elaborate and ingenious lecture of the new Professor. We admire the dexterity with which+ideas are tossed to and fro as deftly as a juggler's balls, the free familiar? ity with his subject displayed by.the lec? turer, and especially the fluent English in which he reproduces the vague and wordy abstractions of Mr. Herbert Spencer. This latter thinker, rather than Comte, would appear to be the master of tho new Cam- ' bridge school. Yet after all, the lecture is not a satisfactory one to a mind desirous of some firm conclusion to rest upon ; it ap? plies logic to the convictions of the reason and the intuitions of the soul; it thrusts thc scalpel of critical analysis into the living or? ganism, and heuce, while tho process goc3 on, the subtle spirit escapes. Perhaps we ought not to object, '? the inauguration of a new system, to the1 demo? lition of the old. A workman must take down one structure before he can rear an? other in its place. Bat he may dig away the soil to snch an extent as to leave no foundation for the proposed edifice. And this is what Professor Fiske has done. He not only represents God and Nature as un? knowable, bat, with the skill of a Greek sophist, makes either contradictory to itself. We have never before seen such a specimen of intellectual legerdemain. "We are obliged to admit, says the Professor, that the mole? cules of matter are separate and infinitely divisible, yet these facts are, attended with insuperable difficulties. Whichever horn of the dilemma we take we are sure to be gored by it Or if we tarn from the constitution of matter to. the origin of it, we are in greater perplexity. The universe cannot be self existing as the Atheist affirms, nor self-cre? ated as the Pantheist affirms, nor created by an external agency as the Theist affirms. It must have had a cause and a beginning, yet both cause and beginning are inconceiv? able. As to the great First Cause, this is at once a necessity and a network of contra? dictions. As to the existence of objects, we only know this, so fur as they are related to ourselves, and yet we do not know that their nature corresponds with their eflests upon us in any particular whatever. Thus God and the universe are forever unknowa? ble." We only know our own states of con? sciousness, and the business of the Positive Philosopher is simply to classify these states. Such is the system of negation and despair to which the honor of a chair has been as? signed by Harvard College. If we may compare great things with small, the conclusion to which the sharp dialectitian comes reminds us of the oracular opinion of our old friend, Jack Bunsby: "Whereby, why not? H so, what odds? Can any man say otherwise? No. Awast, then!" But if the teaching they receive were logically carried out by the students, the result might not be at all amusing. They might argue: We know nothing as it is; our professor, by his own confession, is as unfortunate as ourselves. AU of os are sub? ject to the illusions of the senses. Of what advantage is it for ns to classify these fugi? tive, false impressions which have received the soundiug name of the Positive Philoso? phy? Whystudyasystemwho.se principle abrogates all knowledge? Or, if this sys? tem be true, why 3luJy anythingf Perhaps biank iguorance may be no worse than uni? versal skepticism. AT TUB last session of the State Legisla? ture, a tax amounting to two thousand dol? lars was authorized to be levied upon tie citizens of Wadmalaw and John's Inlands for the purpose of rebuilding the bridge icro3s Church Creek. Tho old bridge, which was destroyed daring the war, was a sub? stantial structure, and cost fine hunlrad lollars.

Monster Skip? of Light Draft. We learn from the Baltimore Gazette that there are now on exhibition at New York, at thc office of W. W. Vanderbilt, Esq., the superintending engineer of thc Pacific Mail Line, working plane of models of ?ron steam? ships of increased dimensions aid dimin? ished draft of water, which will combine economy in the consumption of coal, with increased rate of speed, while they at the same time afford unusual security to life and property. The dimensions of these ves? sels are to be as follows : "Length on water line, 500 feet; length over all, 515 feet; breadth of beam, fiO feet; breadth over all, 93 feet; depth of hold, 32 feet; ton? nage, 8000 tons; freight capacity, 3300 tons; coal capacity, 2000; weight of hull and outfit. 4000; launching draft, 9 feet, 2 inches. Two engines, with boilers, water, Ac, 2000 tons; draft of water, 12 feet, 8 inches; passengers and cargo, 2000; draft of load line, 18 feet, fi Inches. As planned, these steamers would have state-rooms for 250 first-class passengers; state-rooms for 1000 second-class passengers, and steerage ror a for 1500 third-class emi? grants. Thc whole of tho steerage can readily be converted into freight room, and thc second class state-rooms, being constructed with shift? ing bulkheads, can also be made available for colton and other freightage." The vessels are planned with a view to j the requirements of the day, and are intend? ed to excel all other steam craft. It is as? serted that practical shipbuilders and ma? chinists in New York approve the idea, and are contemplating the building of two or three vessels, in hopes of regaining some of the American ocean prestige. These plans may not at once be success? ful, but the very discussion of them shows that-if we only'obtain the business-me? chanical ingenuity and engineering skill will I give ns all the shipping accommodation wc require. Tho only advantage claimed for Port : Royal over Charleston is, that the depth of water on our bar is only 17? or 18? feet, while a fleet of Great Easterns can steam triumphantly into Port Royal. But the day of Immense ships, of deep draft is over and past. The aim now is to build ships for the trade, not to build cities for (he ships. And surely that aim is reached in the construc? tion of steamships which can carry 7000 or 8000 balee of cotton with a draft of water that may bo found on Charleston bar near? ly all the year round. It is already admitted that the trade of the South must eventually be with Europe direct and not with Now York. The diffi? culty was to obtain vessols of full capacity to cross the bars of the established cities on the Atlantic coast. With steamships of 8000 tons, drawing 18 feet of water, Charles? ton and Savannah can accommodate the trade-both export and import-of thc whole South. What need is there of spending mil? lions to make "cities'* of Norfolk:, Bruns? wick or Port Royal ? ^Southward the star of commercial empire takes ila way. What we want is more busi? ness, more trade, more exports and imports, more lift* and activity, more capital to brinn business here and hold it. If our contempo? rary is corroctly informed, we need not trouble ourselves about deepening the bar. We can get the ships if we only get the trade. TUB New York World gives the following particulars of a new banking scheme which, it seems to us, might be adopted with ad? vantage in the South. It is certainly well worthy of serious consideration : "The difficulty merchants have experienced In obtaining loans from the banks to carry on their legitimate business has suggested the for? mation of a bank, with $20,000,000 capital, to be organized under the State laws and to issue no circulating notes. The capital ls to consist of $10,000,000 Ingold, with tho right to Increase the sum to $25,000,000, and $10,000,000 in cur? rency, to bo paid up in full, lt ls stated thal prominent and wealthy Europeans have signi? fied their desire to take $5,000,000 of the gold capital in the bank, and they state that thc balance of the gold capital can be raised among their friends In Europe. Thc plan or the bank? ing business is to be arranged on that of the London and Westminster Bank in London-to receive deposits on interest and make loans solely to legitimate trade. Tho bank is likely to be called The Bank of Trade,' under thc control of a president and a general manager, with a board of directors and a supervisory committee. There will also bc two cashiers, one for the currency department and ono for the gold department. Tho gold department will oe entirely distinct from the currency de? partment, both in the transaction of its busi? ness and profits and in the dividends declared thereon. The gold department will transact everything on a gold basis, discounting gold notes and making gold loans, precisely the samo as banking before the rebellion. The bank trill also open up correspondence with Southern banks, and will buy and sell and draw bills of exchange on Europe, and also domestic exchange. This bank, If established and conduoted on this plan, will be a powerful agent in assisting the resumption of specie payments. Its connection with thc Southern States and the foreign exchange market can be used to produce a revolution ia our foreign exchanges, which will inure greatly to the ad? vantage of the Southern States and all Ameri? can interests, thereby emancipating our mo? ney markets from thc control of the Bank of England and foreign bankers. It will be for the interest of every merchant und business? man to take stock in this bank, and to remove his deposits from other banks, where they are now mostly used In call loans to speculators. Thu business community can do nothing bet? ter fox their own Interests than to support this bank, which will use its funds solely in dis? counts and loans to business men for legiti? mate busicjas purposes. The model of the bank will bo the London and Westminster Batik, which lssuos no note circulation, and discounts more than the Bank of England, and pays dividends of about 25 per cent, per an? num in gold. TUB special reporter whom we sent to Barnwell to report for TUB NBWS the pro coo lings at tho Annual Fair o? thc County Agricultural Society, gives our readers a highly interesting account of tito progress and result? of the meeting.
