Randolph, the naval officer who committed a personal assault upon President Jackson, and was dismissed from service, was recently appointed by the Secretary of War, to a position the arsenal at Washington. This appointment coming to the knowledge of the Tennessee delegation to Congress, they waited upon Presidpfit Buchanan, and representeJ that it was an outrage on the memory' of the hero of the Hermitage, Andrew Jackson, and requested Randolph's re-, moyal from any post under the odminidtration. The PresiJent promptly informed Gov. Floyd, Ihej Secretary of War, of the wishes of the Democrat, and Randolph was suffered to resign. Vv.

Resolved, That the claims of this department uprm the fostering care of our Government are not confined solely to the benettts, great as they are, which the commerce of our conntry has derived from its labors. Its duties bave been discharged in such a manner as to add greatly to our reputr. tion for scientific attainment, and through the influence of its example upon nations as well as I its own work, it bas acomiplUhed immense practical benefit for the wbolecommrciil world.

One of iU chief ia our estimation, is the absence of those profession- i si tecbnicalitiw which so often mar these v. addresses. It is an address which not oolj the Doo'ors, bat those upon whoa the Doc tors work, can The patient's confidence in bis Doctor a most efficient aid to the operations the medicines pre- scribea to him.

If be believe that access tj has forced hi in into the hands of a char latan aad pre tenderis mindo intimately oon- netted with his physical condition, will nen- traltse calomel ot eannotdngorgt the liter, Knj chills will come ia Fpite of qainioe. Whatever, then, dignifies the profession of medicine, by exalting the moral as well as the scientific attainments of those who prae- tioe it, and thereby seecres the confidence and respect of the people, Is a vast contri bution to the health, and consequently the happiness, of mankind. Dr. JcLusoas main idea is, that the re liance onprecedsnt and authority has been too absolute that the science of medicine, other sciences, must "adranoe with ad vanciug ages, and a new theory must not be contemned without investigation, beoause it is in cftuflict with an old On this he says "Every thing now is pretuined to he capable of imprortmnt; and in consequence, evry Uiing subjected to the most careful. and searching scrutiny; its foundation! are examined, its truths tested and wherever a disposition to oppose free inquirv, no matter or wnat name it mar be call ed, or an inclination eren to cling too elelv to the pest, is discovered to exist ia regard, to any subject, or fancied to exiat, on the part of those connected with it, there will inevitably follow, general distrust and want of confidence.

To as ume the contrary, and attempt to maintain confidence by authority only, would expose any man in this no matter what his position or calling, to both censure and ridicule; and rigbtlv too. for both experience and rieht reason have abundant. oven that oppression, eitherphjsicsi or moral, is not the fixed fte of man. It is true that superior physical power may, for a time, five some the avendancr, and superior intelligence may at tain iu destined eminence, although its possessors, for a time, exercise their power unjustly, oppressively, creating a state of things in which, by the aid of brute force, in the one instance, those of inferior condition have risen at the expense of those of superior intelligence, while in the other, superior intelligence, diverted from its legitimate purposes of wisdom and usefulness, has degraded and afflicted those who rank' below it, in an inferior condition. But neither of the conditions of oppression eonsututes the fixed and determined of man in this werld because each violates the eternal principles of truth and justice, in being antagonistic to the moral improvement end material teeifart of the majority.

And so, our. present high and advanced state of rivilizatk el earl demonstrates that there are democratic principles in the arts and sciences, underlying the republic of letters, jut as there are democratic principles in politics, underlying the commonwealth of govern menu and that, a in the case of the latter, there are no just pwera save those derived from the content of the governed, so in the case of the former, there is no proper authority or prescriptive right ana independent of those who support it. In other words, just a the safety and elkre of the citizen should be, as regards all government, a paramount consideration with the state, to should the safety and best interests of the patient, as regards the practice of medicine, bathe chief concern of the medical profession. Now, I have a "realising tense" that too much reliance upon the Doctorate, without duly qualifying our selves for the onerous labors and responsible duties of the medical scholar an a practitioner, hat scarcely left to the individual members of our profession, merely as inch, the pre tip even of that oracular air and magisterial authority, which gave them once a sort of dictatorial power over the minds of men in their peculiar vocation, resembling -that possessed by the priest at the confessional. But we cannot complain of society for this we must blame ourselves; for I shall presently show tbst the pressing wants and necessities of every enlightened state and community actually require of the medical man to take a more mpontible and useful position in society thaa formerlr, just in proportion as civilisation spreads, and the masses become enlightened." This is the best sort of sens common sense.

The ides that a profession so intimately connected with tie lives and fortunes of the human family, ahould he left far its pursuit to a set' of old fogies, who know nothing of the changes in the atmosphere of the earth we live npon, and the consequent changes of the diseases which command the physician's and who know quite as little of the wonderful discoveries in chemistry and kindred sciences, is as rational as" would be a military sohool to educate officers for the srmy on the system on which Ilanibal and Scipio conducted their campaigns I a every pursuit connected with man temporally, every thing is, end must be progressive, and it would-be as sensible for a pra.titioner of medicine to prescribe for diseases arbitrarily upon the principles and theory in vogue even fire years ago, as it -would be for a General to conduct a campaign without gunpowder. McCanlsy says in one of his papers in the Edinboro' Review There are branches of knowledge, with respect to which iLe iw of the human mind it progress. In mathematics, when once a proposition nas been demonstrated, it it never afterwards contested. Every frean storr is as solid a basis for a new tu pernructure as the original foundation was. Here, therefore, thfr is a constant addition to the stock of truth.

In the inductive sciences again, the law is- jogre. ery day furnishes new facts, and thus lrtug tnwory nearer and nearer to perfection. There is no chance that either in the purely demonstrative, or in the purely experimental science, the world, will evwr ro ck or even remain stationary. Xbody heard of re-action against Taylors theorem, or a reaction against Harvey's doctrine of the circulation of the blood. i1 To this, we must add the reflection dwelt upon by: Dr.

Johnson, of the' intimate and confidential relation in which patient stands to his physician the necessity of the latter cultivating those- graces of in which. Charity standi faro mas ajsV whisk the eternal world when human skill is in adequate to remedy the ills which "flesh is heir to." Next to the honest profession of the ministers of Christ, we look' upon the profession of the art of Mediciae, as the one which should be most carefully studied, and most scrupulously regarded in the light of strict responsibility by i's' professors and those (and who does not T) wbo require their servioes.

As will appear from the following note addres ed to us by a couple of indignant Democrats, the Governor hat adopted a new plan of harassing his own party, which, upon reflection, we consider a moat excellent one. No maa knows better than the Governor the exact material of which Demo crats are made, and he Is, therefore, determined to act towards the Lecompton advocates of his party, "upon the nrincfole of dog eat See how he has set about carrying out hit principle R.

Jan. 19, 1853. TWO DEMOCRATS. We shall back the Governor and his "black ter rier" in all their efforts to annoy and demolish those fellows in the Democratic party, who have presumed to -declare, by solemn resolve, that the position cf the Governors Tammany letter are beriticaL if the Governor and his "black torrier" can succeed in running this intensely worth Ita Democratic Iegilature out of town, and to their homn, the Governor and his "black terrier" will certainly perform a most acceptable public service, for which they will receive the thanks of the people, share and share alike it being invidious to distinguish between the Governor and hi3 "black terrier" in the matter of a reward for Im portant servioes. Richmond Whig.

Bl uxivs of a Public School Housk Sevzx Childbex Smoth'xrxd to Death. The public sohooT house on the corner of Concord and Ntivy Kts Brooklyn, N. was burnt on Tuesday after noon, owing to somo defoct in the heater. There were five hundred children in the building when the fire broke out, and the most intense excite ment prevailed. In their engerneu to escape seven children, were either smothered or trampled to death.

Many were only saved by being thrown from the windows and caught in the arms of the firemen aad others. The building was the finest chool building in the city. It was entirely de- stroved. NUfETIEH Mosrns Withoct We learn from the Albany Times thai Mrs. Hays, of the town cf Day, Saratoga county, 2ew York, whose case we detailed some time since, and who had lire nineteen months without food or drink, died a week or two ago.

She remained insensi ble for fifteen months of the period, and up to a few days of her death, when she seemed to retire, and spoke occasionally. After her death, her body was opened and a snake five feet long and half an inch thick was taken from the stomach It was alive when removed but died soon after. The cae is a very remarkable one, and it is to be regretted that it was not subjected to a scientific examination. Message or the Maxoa or Balttmobk. Mayor Swan, of Baltimore, sent his mewage to the council of that city on Monday.

It appears from this statement that the whole indebtdenest of the city, at the cloae cf the fiscal year, other than the bonded debt, was $352,000, to meet which there are uncollected taxes in the hands of the Auditor and Collector, believed to be available, to the amount of $390,000. At the conclusion of the message, the Mayor denounced the action of Gov in interfering with election matters in Baltimore. i 7 The Cckbexct lie Cakapa. At the begin ning of this month the old method of reckoning currency in Canada by pounds, shillings and pence was abolished, and the decimal rrstem of this country supersedes it. Decimal coins Tnll be coined to meet the- requirements of the law.

They will probably correspond ia value with that of the United States. Resumed Spicte Patmekts. The Providence R. banks resumed specie payment on "Wed nesday. The event is chronicled any flourish of trumpets, and the community in which these banks are located are said to be only reminded of the facts by the official announcement rather than by any new The lion.

Hamilton, in writing to an old and intimate friend, says that be is very much grieved by that part of hit brothers book, the History of the Republic," tc, in which he at tributes all or most of Washington's letters to his father "and requests that friend to take every proper occasion to say that he disapproves of the not well-founded assumption.

11th, 1853. Ma. Stme I will try to "give you a brief account of a melancholy accident which re-. certly ocTirred to a very worthy iritizen of this eounty, Mr. Georg Hensley resulting in Jtis in-tant death.

Mr. Hensley being a very excellent bear-huoter, started out on the idfh of of December in company two of his brothers, with nine dogs, on a bear hunt. The dogs started a vry large bear, and-Mr. George Hensley followed them a cross the State line into. Washington County, and down the Rocky Fork, and then down to the Black Clift, where the bear took shelter in a hole in Clift, i which "Was large enough only to contain his body, leaving his head exposed.

Mr. Hensley's brothers becoming separated from him in the begining of the chase and not being able to find him, roturad borne. Tula occurred on On Tuesday, as Mr. Hen-, sley did not return home, there began to be a good ieal of-uneasiness felt in regard to Him. On Wednesday parties started out to hunt for him, but that day's search was fruitless.

On Thursday the bunt for the missing man was renewed by about forty person, and his dead body was found by three men about 2 O'clock on that day, at the place above mentioned, guarded by Seven of his hiithful dogs. It appears that when he arrived near the spot where the bear had made a stand he nred upon the animal, and fearing that he had not killed him tho first shot- he re-loaded his gun and approached within about eight feet of the hole in wnicu tne bear took shelter, when be discover ed that be bad killed him dead the first shot. Stepping aside to some laurel bushes he laid bis fun wn pole wnlca rested, on tne bushes ana towards the bear, when it appears the gun went off, the whole load taking effect in his right temple, killing bira instanly. Soon after the dis covery of the body by the' three men mentioned above, seven others of those who were bunting lof him came up, and the remains of poor Hensley were carried to the nearest house, about 4 miles distant. Wbn the corpse was carried into the bouse the dog-3 went in and laid down by it, and it was with the utmost difficulty they could be driven out The bear is acknowledged by all to be the largest that has ever been Killed in these mountains.

It was tuDDOsed to weisrh about 400 nounds gross, or 300 pounds net. The track of the mon ster measured 10 inches across. Yours in haste. A. G.

Stme. This morningabout 10 o'clock in formation reached this town that a colored insur rection had broken out between South Quay and Uolv Neck, in Nansemond County, and some lamilies ef Whites massacred. The town instant-lv rose in arms and sent out a scouting party on horseback to near the scene of the reported outra ges, wno returned aoout 4 ciock uus morning, and reported that yesterday a little after 3 o'clock in the afternoon a deranged negro man, belonging to Mr. Benton, Gates N. had attack ed a white man, named Whitmel Jones, on the road near South Quay, and murdered him by splitting his scull open.

The negro then went to tne house of Mrs. Harrison Howell, a widow, whom he likewise murdered. By this time a par. tv had eUrted in pursuit of him. When he reach ed the house of Rev.

Uriah Rawis, a young man, named David Rawls was there with, a gun. The negro approached him in a fighting atitude, when Rawls fired twice at him. The negro fled to a pond of water where he was shot by the party in pursuit. Much eicitomint still prevails. Yours, and J.

D. B. WASHINGTON ITEMS. Despatches have been received at the Navy Department from Com. Paulding, dated Aspinwall January 3, relative to the capture of Anderson and the The Commodore says: "On the 30th ult.

tho United States steamer Fulton arrived here from San Juan dol Norte, conveying to thin place, by order of Captain Sands, forty-five of Walker's men, captured ov Sands on the San Juan river on the 24th These men composed the party that ascended the Colorado river to Castillo. It would appear that the filibusters had abandoned Fort Castillo after destroying everything they could, and had taken to marauding upon the river in the steamer Ogden. About one-third of them are under medical treatment. therefore, ordered the prisoners to the Wabash, and intend to sail for San Juan as soon as the passengers arrive from California, leaving the Fulton here, where I shall have communication with Captain Sands. I will sail with the prisoners for Key West, and await the orders of the department as to their disposition.

The steamer will arrive in New York on the 15th, affording time for the department to communicate with me by the steamer that sails from New York, and uiso bv the steamer that sails from Charleston for Key West." The Commodore also sends a detailed account of affairs, all of which appeared in the papers. Th a Commodore also states that be will leave at once for the United States. A committee of Marine Underwriters are at Washington recommending the passage of a law requiring that within five years after aeea-going vessel is launched, she shall be opened her entire length by taking off a plank outside and inside, so that her frame may be carefully examined, to see whether it is sound. The Underwriters state that it frequently happens that a vessel which to external appearances is perfectly sound, and Which is comparatively new, is, in fact, so rotten as to drop to pieces in a moderate gale. 'This decay, as a general thing, is consequent, upon some defect in the timber, which shows itself within five years after a vessel is launched and if it does not occur withiu that time, it never does.

Theobject of the proposed law is to secure suitable and thorough inspection of hulls during the first yeais of their use. Nothing, it is stated, has been' received by the administration relative to the Yrisarri treaty, as to whether it has been ratified by Nicaragua. Demaxd foe Damages. Robert A. Craig, a British subject at Punta Arenas, has demanded damages from the United States for losses sustained by him in the seizure of Walker's expedition by Commodore He.

alleges that he rented to Walker a portion of his premises, and that he had a large quantity of provision? in his warehouse belonging to Walker, at a stipulated rate of storage per month for each package and also, that he advanced, pn the security of the provisions, $500. The provisions, he alleges, were forcibly seized by Commodore Paulding, and much of bis private propertycarried off. Mr. Craig has forwardcd.a copy of his complaint to Lord Clarendon. Seward Among the Virginia Negroes.

The Hon. H. Seward, of Now York, at the invitation of the Hon. John S. Pedleton," paid that gentleman a visit a few days since, the object of which was to witness a regular old-fiishion-ed Virginia "Nigger" corn hulking, Mr.

Pendleton, being dsiroui that Seward, from what he would see there, would be convinced that Slavery in Culpepper was hot as bad as represented by the AntUSlaverv' lnen. of tho North.

WISH ASD THE TIRGLXLl LEG lSLATtRE. The rcsolatkms adopted by the Hoase of DUtes of lrginia, although merely eon-eying a tame acquiescence in Mr. Buoban-an't tiews ia relation to the Lecompton coo-atitutioo of Kaataa, and withoat (as they shonld have done Hses Tammany letter, bava given, it is said, mortal c5coee to that doughty functionary, who, ac cording to report, is preparing "a message" (perhaps smroi of them) which will unmercifully roast the. immediate representatives of the people, of Virginia for daring to differ in opinion with the Chief Magistrate of the State. We hope Wise vill roast them well and brown.

They richly, deserve ft, for if they had possessed the pluck of a sheep, they would have roasted him well and brown. Wise's Tammany, letter, although not an official act, carried with it the prestige and authority of his position as the Governor of the largest slavebclding State the Union, and as such it has been greedily seixed upon by all Freesoilers and Abolitionists throughout the country. 'Nobody eanbelieve that Wise was indaeed by hoacjU motives to write the letter. Its sentiments are in direct conflict with opinions expressed by him six weeks previous, and it will puxxle him to explain what new lights dawned upon him and indaeed him to put his toes where his heejs stood. Whether he is ia collusion with Douglas, or whether the letter was written to prevent Douglas from getting ahead of him with the Freesoilers and abolitionists, we cannot tell.

One or the other of these reasons caased tho production as surely as Wise is an unscrupulous tyrant and aspirant, and about this no maa with a thimbleful of brains doubts. IX A FIX. The adoption of the Kansas constitution places Mr. Buchanan In a most awkward fix. The eonstitntion was adopted verbatim et liitrtiin as his message advises, and as he says the Kansas and Nebraska act requires.

Ho matter.then what "enabling act may be passed, and no matter what constitution rosy be formed, Mr. Bochanaa must still abiie the LecotaptoQ constitution, and of course, set his face against any other that nay be presented. Xh Kansas matter now stands in a most singnhr position. Stanton was removed for convening the Legislature, and it is well known that his sweeessor, Denver, agrees both with Stanton and if alktr. Surely Mr.

Buchanan and his predecessor, Pierce, have been sorely troubled in the business of Kansas Governors. It would seem that out of the entire Democratic party ia the United Stales no man can be found clear enough of Freesoil proclivities to make an acceptable Governor of Kansas. MUSIC 9IOOR BORRA. We are very glad to know that the above named accomplished Professor of Music is in Raleigh for the purpose of establishing a school for the education of those who seek to excel in that most beautiful and humanising accomplishment.

A Speciai Committee men vU' rejoice to learn that the House of Repre sentatives have resolved, (see Friday's proceedings in the House of Representatives.) not to shirk an investigation of the disgraceful accusation laid at their door by the Investigating Committee wo meaii the accusation that $87,000 -iverc paid by Messrs Lawrence, Stone to eel" through" Congress the wool amendment to thejTariffof 1837. Bat for the fearless and independent action of the public press, it may well be Questioned whether this business would ever have been placed as it now is, in a fair way to be probed to the bottom, and though we of the third 'estate are denounced without stint or measure, by certain eentlemen on the floor of the House, from whom better thincrs might have been expected our consolaiion is that in forcing an examination into theinatter, we have performed a substantial service to the public The resolution in favor of acun-mittee of five, to send for persons and paners, was brought forward by Mr, Stanton, of Ohio, and adv'catcd with much earnestness by Mr. Kunkel, of i Mr. Harris, of Illinois, and sundry other prominent members. Mr.

BurlitigamC.of went for the committee, but if we may judge from the telegraphic report of his remarks, not without saijie reluctance. Mr. Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland, was in favor of the committee also, but wej are surprised that a gentleman whom we have kl ways been accustomed to hold in the high-efetj esteem, should indulge in his preface hi a sweeping denuhciation oif the press, fur calling upln Congress investigate at alL Doubtless there are certain journals that have treated ihi question in a mere light, and have made it a medium for the gratification of personal and political dislikes, but there is no more reason why the ores should be condemed generally fir the misdeeds of one or two of the profession, than that Copgress should be Hamad, as a body, for the bad conduct of two or threo, or half a dozen, of its members. iVT.
