Ill citv of New York. My purpose in

detailing these particulars is to give the fullest notion of her enterprise and object. She gave the best summary of it that ean be put into words in her reply to the President of the Geneva College, when he presented her diploma?. Departing from the usual form, he rose and addressed her in a manner so emphatic and unusual, that she was surprised into response. I thank you. sir," said she. With the help of the Most High, it shall be the Mudy of my lifb to shed honor on this diploma. Her settled sentiment was, perhaps. unconscioudy discovered in litis brief speech. She had fought her way into the profession, openly, without disguise, evasion, or any indirection, steadily refusing all compromises and expediencies, and

under better impulses and witli higher course; and one of the Professors has deaim than personal ambition or the dis- J clared that the College could better afford tinction of singularity. Her object was j to pay such a woman a Miss II. for atnot the honor that a medical degree could tending, than do without the wholesome

roofer upon her, but the honor that she resolved to bestow upon it; and that h will nobly redeem 'this pledge is, to all who know her, rather more certain than almost any other unarrived event. Thoae who will form opinions about Miss lilackwell herself, from their own views of her enterprise, run a very great risk of making mistakes. It is natur?! enough fir them to ask, "what sort of a woman is she?" and it is likely that each will answer it for himself, but it is not likely that ono in a dozen will hit the truth. Manliest considerations of propriety forbid such a description in the public prints, and especially due respect tor her own feelings checks the inclination which I feel to draw her personal character. Sho has not given her name to any of th publications by which she has been earning money for the achievement of her great undertaking, and her avoidance of the occasions of notoriety which court her at every turn amounts almost to a fault. In manner and spirit she is as quiet and retiring as she is inflexible in purpose and determined in action. The spirit of adventure never had a more gentle and tranquil lodgment in woman's nature. In the last two or three years, she has solicited perhaps fifty medical men, and at leat a dozen medical schools, for the privilege of studying the profession, and was refused ly all except those winch 1 have mention tinned. 1 heard her say that I in the Union four medical j she fount schools willing to admit black men, and only two that would extend the same courtesy to white women. I have seen her often alter her successive repulses, but in no instance heard a word of complaint or reproach, or observed the slightest indication of dejection. Her conclusion always was, "There, is some place in the world for me, and I'll find it." There nro doubtless other physicians, nd perhaps other schools, that would have received her, but she always took the first acceptable grant, and instantly vailed herself of it. with an industry and promptitude that I never saw matched. The fact is, that the faith in which aha lives and works has the tone k all the force of religious confidence. The secret f War oilir-iMney urn I li'r SUCCeSS IS in that patience which rests upon the Divine Providence. Her construction of the reMstance which she was Constantly encountering was alwavs kinder nod per- i per haps truer than any friend would allow or any opponent could fairly ask. She entertains no particular respect for the science of medicine, and disavows any natural taste for its pursuit; and the incidents of the study I believe arc as repugnant to her as to any sensible woman who would shudder at the thought of them. Hut she differs in tho matter of nerves , from those who shudder at any thing which romrs in the shape of duty and noble enterprise. She devoted herself to her novel undertaking at twenty-three years, of age, because she had then workedtierself into the spirit of victory, and tho tone of an earnest liftt that could not be smothered in her merely personal interests. Heroes are not made of metal that is liable to rust. In person, she is every way rather below the middle size. Her weight is certainly less than 1 10 but her muscular vigor is perfectly prodigious. She is never ill, knows nothing of pain, and is almost incapable of fatigue. Will she succeed f Those who, knowing her. do not know that now, are just the kind of geniuses who will not know the fact when it is fulfilled before their eyes. After hor return from Geneva this spring, having the desire to hear our most distinguished medical teachers, she was cordially invited by several of them. In the presence of these large classes, she heard Drs. Jackson, Chapman. Horner, tiibson and Uodgers. of the University of Pennsylvania, and she also heard Drs very near to caving in completely, but a littlo llunkerism saved it from a general crash. The Professors of the Cieneva College, I learn, have to suffer a little from a few of the old tread-mill regulars. but thv are manly enough to pay tne price of their own independence without any iieri-urr.g. ut an oruer.y . i i.: ,11 . .

1 here IS snm nrt rif roller f..r r.hitfira ' in that; and if it affords them any comfort they may quit whimpering. But Miss Blackwell must not be male responsible for my feelings about and manner of treating this matter. Her own are in many respects very different. She ; was cenerouslv invited bv the medical jclass. of Geneva to come among them. j j In one of the resolutions which thev for i J warded to her, they pledged themselves jto do everything in their power to make her attendance agreeable to her Tor two winters she tried them, and acknowledges that, in letter and spirit, they kept their promise nobly. It was neit to impossible that they should do otherwise, but they did do all that was possible to relieve her from the disagreeables of the . influence of her presence in the lecture room: Thus far the whole afT.ur justifies itself, and the future can also take care of itself. i ne conclusion oi me wi.oie maner. i . think, is just this: the subject is no longer; a question of, but a fact Miss Is. is a it. is a

Elder meanly charged that the Board of Election from the fact that they were all Whigs would commit perjury far the purpose of benefitting the Whig party; we refrained at that time to notice it, because we supposed that he did not himself believe what he then uttered, that it was only a silly attempt to .nuke political capita!, and he was entirely welcome to all the profits he might make out of the investment; he again insinuates the same charge, and endeavors to excuse his conduct on the day of the November election, in watching with cat-like vigilance the j ballot-box, as part of his contracted duty at Pottmaste', because, forsooth, he JAMES ELDER ' fi , -hadu ' e most imp cit confijence .u the i honesty of the Inspector:" (That means us, a i - little.) How patriotic and self-sacrificing! Why, he nearly starved himself, in order that 4e the upright and honrtt man might keep the ballotbox purt! No one but he thought that the polls were iu the hand, of dishouest men, and that they would perjure themselves for the sake of party! If we should speak out plaiuly what we really believe, we would say that no ouo "but a scoundrel," who believe, and daily practices the doctrine that the "breaking of an oath and lying, Is but a kind of self denying," would write down such charges and insinuations about the "honesty" of his neighbor, and personal friends, as Elder has douo. But wo will keep cool, and not call hard names we do not feel, just now, at all like punching tho pith out of a mere Aldtr Mock'. But we'll .ay a word about tho manner in which the "good citizen" and pure ballot-box guardian Ja.ne. Elder, P. M. &c. conducted himself at the polls, in order that those who care any thing about the defunct otflce-holder, can judge correctly whether his claims to being a "good citixen" to "honesty" and "purity," are well founded or not. Wo occupied the unpleasant post of Inspector of Elections, at the Presidential election, and throughout the day. with probably an exception often or fifteen minutes, (when the Postmaster was either eating a slice of 'bread and butter, or making bet on the result of the election!) there stood this good and pure citizen, (?) and, anon, his thick head would be thrust into a voter's face, and, 'ttnrar him. Davit!' would be wafted from hi. lungs to our ears; if the voter wa. known by Elder to be of the right stripe a patent democrat it made uo difference whether he lived in any other county or township in the State if Elder knew he was here .merely on a visit (Dan. Reid's son, for instance, he escaped being challenged by the man whose only desire wa. to keep the bal lot-box "pure and uncontaminated"! An Intelligent wink or glance from ono of the locofoco-Hfre-ballot-box-keepiog-comniiltee, towards the Postmaster, was a sufficient hint not to disturb "one of the party!" But, on the other hand, when a whig offered his vote, even though some of that committee knew hi in from boyhood, and that he was a legal Toter,-(yoUng Clawson, for ! instance,) 'txeear him, Davit." was the grand i . . . . ... . a . salute. If the Postmaster se.med to be satisfied, ! after impertinently looking into the voter's face and nearly knocking him dowu ith a blast of. his foeted breath, a suspicious glance from one of the committee towards him, and out would roll the oft-repexted word.: 'twear Mm.

This is the man who i. now whining over tho loss or the Tost cmce, and crying so pueousiy bout 'prescription.' If all the oflice-liolders in the laud, had so bare-facedly and shamelessly used their offices for electioneering purposes, and , suffered themselves to be used as pliant tools for patty purpose., as the late Postmaster of our littie city nas ione ana Deen used, u is just ana a- . 1 !!... 1 . ..... prper.or ...em r......w, ; appoioted in th.ir places who would not so con-, rr r... ... duct themselves.

He i.

After shearing, spread the fleece shorn side down, then fold each side equally so as not to expose the surface which grows next the skin, turn in the "butt" and roll towards the shoulder; then, by twisting the neck and tucking it under, the necessity for the use of bark or twine will be obviated, and they should never be used if it can be avoided, sorters complaining that it tangles the Wool, and manufacturers are not generally disposed to pay as much for it. a ... .

e resume the extracts from Col. Fre. meat's Letters. The first of these is j , , 1 ,ncso uaiea "Taos, New Mexico, Feb. 6, ICO. After a iong de.Vt mhich had wearied me to the point of resolving to set out again myself, tidings have at last reached me from my ill-fated party. Mr. Vincent Haler came in last night. having the night before reached the Little i rVl,t .attU.n ;,k tl... . r , wiausc i am now unwilling to lorre my j ,,m o uweu upon the details ot what ! has been suffered. I need reprieve from I ii r r 1 1, 1 a Anlit.t.l!vH. t - -I 1.1 ,! - . f . , . ' i astonished at this persistence of mtstorj tune this succession of calamities which i no care or vigilance of mine could foresee j or prevent You will remember that I had left in the camp (twenty-three men) when 1 set off with tlodey, Preuss, and my servant in search of King and succor, with directions about the baggage, and with occupation sufficient about it to employ them for three or four days; after which they were to follow me down the river. Within that time I expected relief from King's party, if it came at all. They remained seven days, and then started, their scant provisions about exhausted, and the dead mules on the western side of the great Sierra buried under snow. Mantel (you will remember Manuel a Christian Indian of the Cosumne tribe, in the valley of the San Joaquin) gave way to a feeling of despair after they had moved about two miles, and begged Vincent Heler, whom I had left in command. j s,'?' ""S " ! that form, he turned and m i le bis way a . a a back to the camp, intending to die there; which he doubtless soon did. 'The party moved on, and at ten miles Wise gave out threw away his gun and blanket and, a few hundred yards further, fell over into the snow, and died. Two Indian Iwys countrymen of Manuel were behind. They came upon him rolled him up in bis blanket, and buried him in the snow, on tho bank of the river. 'No other died that day. None tho next. 'Carver taved during the night his imagination wholly occupied with images of many things which he fancied himself to be eating. In the morning he wandered off, and probably soon died. He was not seen again. 'Sorel on this day (the fourth from the camp) laid down to die. They built him a fire, and Morin, who was in dying condition, and snow-blind, remained with him. These two did not probably last till the next morning. That evening (I think it was) Hubbard killed a deer. They travelled on, getting here and there a grouse, but nothing else, the deep snow in the valley having driven off the game. The stato of the party became desperate, and brought Haler to the determination of breaking it up, iu order to prevent them from living upon each oth.-r. He told them that be had done all he could for them that they had no other hope remaining than the expected relief and that the best plan was to scatter, and make tho best of their way. each as he could, down the river, that for himself, il he was to be eaten, he would, at all events, be found travelling when he did die. This address h id its effect. They accordingly separated. With Haler continued five others Scott, Hubbard, .Martin, Bacon, one other, iu the costume of Indian boys. Jlohtcr now became despondent, and stopped. Haler reminded him of his family, and urged him to try and hold out for their sake. Roused by this appeal to his tenderest affections, the unfortunate man moved forward, but feebly, and soon began to fall behind. On a further appeal he promised to follow, and to overtake them at evening. Haler. Scott, Hubbard, and Martin now agreed that if any one of them should 8IVC oul n,c omom were not to wait tor lnm to (lie, but to pustl on ana try to SBVO themselves. Soon this mournful convenant had to be kept. But let me not anticipate events. Sufficient for each day ia the sorrow thereof. At night Kerne's party encamped a few hundred yards from Ilaler's with the intention, according to Taplin, to remain where they were until the relief should come, and in the mean time to live upon those who had died, and upon the weaker ones as they ahould die. With this party were the three brothers Kerne, Captain Cathrat, McKie, Andrews. Slepperfeld, and Taplin. I do not know that 1 have got all the names of this party. 'Ferguson and Beadle had remained together behind. In the evening Rohter came up and remained in Kerne's party. Haler learnt afterwards from some of the party that Rohter and Andrew wandered off the ne xt morning and died. They say they saw their bodies. 'Ilaler's party continued on. After few hours Hubbard gave out. According to the agreement he was left to die, but with such comfort as could be given him. They built him a fire and gathered hint wood, and then left hiro without turning their heads, as Heler says, to look at him as they went off 'About two miles further Scott you remember him; he used to shoot birds for you on the frontier he gave out. He was another of the four who had covenanted against waiting for each other. The survivors did for him as they bad done for Hubbard, and passed on. 'In the afternoon the two Indian boy went ahead blessed be these boys! and before nightfall met Goodey with the relief. He had gone on with all speed. The boys gave him the news. He fired signal cuns to notify his approach. Haler beard the guns, and knew the crack of our rifles, and felt that relief had come. This night was the first of hope and joy. Early in the morning, with the first gray light, Goodey was in the trail, and soon met Haler and the wreck of his party slowly advancing. I hear that they all cried together like children these men of iron nerves and lion heart, when dangers were to be laced or hardships to be conquered. They were all children in the moment of melted
