The in dications lrom all parts oi nu- 'State give cheering promise that we are rap idly v regaining our former prosperity. Cities, towns and villages are springing up as it by magic on all our railroads. Manufactories of cotton, wood, iron, to bacco, etc., are being established ; mines of iioc, coal, gold, mica, etc., are being 1 purchased and operated by enterprising northern capitalists ; and agriculture, our chief pursuit and the main basis of our wealth, is receiving more intelligent attention and producing richer results. In all this we are succeeding much bet ter thin we anticipated and the devel- ment is greater and greater each day. But let us not. lose sight in our pros perity ot thateluty which we owe to our ignorant poor, nor shut our eyes to the wide spread illiteracy which the pro tracted war aud extreme poverty hare ctist to ns as our lot. ',- For twelve years we have had practical ly uo system of education. The more for tunate have been able to giye schooling to their children, but the masses of our people have not even had thexliance of a rudimentary education, lu these tsvelveyears.nearly a hall of a generation, but little has been done to train intel lectually those who are soon to become the voters, the witnesses, the jurymen ; it may be the judges, the legislators and the executives the governing poxcer by which the destinies ot our State must be controlled. We cannot safely treat this matter with indifference, nor can we easily calculate the evil effects which it will surely produce, unless some speedy remedy is applied. The last Legislature, sensible ot our condition and of the importance oi the considerations we have suggested, have provided a very laircnool law ana as good uu one as our means will justify. We earnestly call upon our county au thorities to be vigilant and attentive to fcee tnut a 13 laithlully executed, ana unit uns ought this check to our pro gross and development, to increased pro duclivenesi of industry and accumula uon ot capital, is banished from our boideis.

IN SESSION AT STATESVILLE. SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. by our own reporter. Statesville, May 21st, 1873. The Society was called to order by President Whitehead at 9 o'clock. Doctor Patterson, Chairman ot Com mittee on Credentials, submitted a partial report as follows: New Hanover County Medical Society, and Lenoir County Medical Society, admitted through their delegates, and recognized as auxiliary societies. In the case of Dr. Fuller, of Raleigh, a recommendation was made that his petition for member ship be rejected on account or irregula rities in the application. ; The Executive Committee reportetl a substitute for Sec. 4, Art. 4, of the Con stitution. After considerable discussion the report was 'adopted on the motion of Dr. Foote. On motion of Dr. Ennett; Sec. 4 ot Art. 4 was stricken out and the substi tute which provides for a Board of Censors for the Society, was unanimously adopted. The Committee appointed to investi gate the differences between Drs. Porter and some members ot the New Han over county Medical Society were dis charged, and the whole matter referred to the Board of Censors. The Committee appointed to assist the Secretary in clearing the books of the names of delinquent members, sub mitted a report, upon which consider able discussion arose, indulged m by Drs. Hines, Foote, Ltickey and O'llagun. The report, which requires the Secre tary to notify all members not present at this Convention, who are in arrears lor five years, to at once remit amount of dues.or their names would be stricken from the roll, was adopted. Dr. Satchwell stated that Miss Dim mock, an honorary member of this So ciety, had received an appointment as Physiciau in charge of a hospital at Boston, Mass., in which new position she was winning high opinions oi the profession asjy her ability anel useful ness. ' J&f Dr. Hyan, under the call of written communications, presented and read before the Society the details of lour important cases that came under his observation. The communication was referred to the Committee on publica tions. A report from the Finance Committee exhibiting the financial condition of the Society, with a recommendation rom the Committee that each member be assesseel three dollars, was adopted. Adjourned till 2 o'clock f. m. AFTERKOON SESSION. ' ' " The Convention met at 2 o'clock, Dr. Whitehead in the chair. Letters of invitation were received from Goldsboro and Charlotte, asking the next meeting of the Convention at these points. A vote was taken and a majority being cast for Charlotte, the President announced that the next meet ing of the Convention would be held at Charlotte, commencing on the third Tuesday in May, the hour and place to be designated by the Secretary. The hour having arrived for the dis cussiou ot the treatment ot acute internal inflamations by Drs. Satchwell and Norcom, the former led off in a speech of two hours, in reply to the speech of Dr. Norcom at Newbern last year. Dr. S. mrfde quite an assault on Drs. Anstie and Gaillard, for their severe attack on his paper, written in 1S70, after which he advocated at great length the princi ples ot antiphlogistic medicine. Dr. Norcom, in reply, defended the reviewers above named, denounced antiphlogistic and defended the doc trines of restorative medicine. The latter, he said, was too ably advocated by Dr. Wood, the orator, and by the President also, in his able and eloquent address. The efforts of both gentlemen were spoken of by the Society in the highest complimentary terms, and notwith-s standing the great length of time occu pied in the discussion they elicited the undivided attention of the members. We would be pleased to give a more lengthy report of the discussion, but we den the capacity of the best New York phonographer to give even a synopsis of a Doctor's speech on diseases in a medical meeting, so unintelligible are some of their words to one like ourself, not initiated in medicine. The Society adjourned to meet at the Presbjterian Church, where Dr. T. F. Wood, ot Wilmington, the Orator of the Society, would deliver his address at 8 o'clock. Notwithstanding the exceeding in clement feather, the large Church was filled with a highly appreciative audi ence not only ol the profession, but of the towns-people generally. TJJE ADDRESS OP DR. WOOD. "The science and art of medicine deserved," he eaid, "the especial atten tion of the student of philosophy from its antiquity, because of its close con nection witn, intellectual development from the earliest times, and its intimate relations with our social organism in separable from the advance of civiliza tion. Lavmen have regarded medicine too much as a mystery, which the high priests in the profession alone should know, and have never given a willing ear to learn how fearfully and wonder lully we are made A comparison of it with the more perfect arts and more exact sciences cannot be justly made. Take astronomy for instance, though it rests upon mathematical data as a basis, it lallstar short ot perfection. Most of the sciences stand upon mathematical formula, not so with medicine. It rests upon knowledge otherwise obtained, anel in a great degree lrom inappreciab ly delicate progresses. Vital phenomena in all their intricacies have constituted the mystery with which medicine has been dealing through so many centuries. It has grown by the accretion of ap Darently unimportant particles, and has at last attained to the dignity of a science. The circulation of the blood cost the labour of more than twenty anatomists through a period of more than a century. It was discovered by a great scholar, Wm. Harvey, and it has made hi3 name glo rious and immortal. The discoveries of oxygen, vaccination, anesthesia, sep arate nerve-fibres for motion and sen sation and other discoveries succeeded each other so rapidly, as to lead the world to believe that all this is the easy and spontaneous evolution in intellec tual development. But not so, contended Dr. Wood. Unrequited -toil, labour in the face of the neglect and objections ot the world opposition to dissection the false charge that medicine was op posed to religion, and that a search into the minutiae of it tends to materialism ' these are some of the charges against which progressive medicine has had to contend and outlive and rise above. In no respect has the profession been more benefitted than by the discussions which lave taken place in regard to inflamma tion and fever. The opponents of the modern school of Rational Medicine have been carried along with the current of progress, anel they haveJiad to aban- elon the ground they lormerly held as to the nature and treatment of aisease. The greatest achievement of the profession in modern times is the wonderful im provement in the detection of disease or in diagnosis." Want of space prevents us from ex tending our synopsis of this able speech. fculfice it to say that this young prac titioner won for himself a reputa tion that will outlive him. At the conclusion of the address the Society returned to the Court House to articipate in the EVENING SESSION. The Convention was called to order by the President, Dr. Whitehead, who stated that it was an adjourned meeting or the purpose ot continuing the dis cussion on the subject of acute-internal inflammation. Dr. Norcom said that Dr. Satchwell was absent but he would be glad to hear rom some other gentleman that enter tained the same view of Dr. S. Dr. Kelly said he was glad to see in the lengthy discussion between Drs. Norcom and Satchwell, that they were drawing nearer together in their views, and on this important subject had shown a disposition to "cross hands across the bloody chasm." He would therefore move to proceed to other bus iness more important, the reception of reports of Committees, &c. Dr. Norcom was sorry that his friend Dr. Kelly so misapprehendeel the posi tion between himself and Dr. Satchwell, that they were as wide apart as the North and South pole, and no prospect so lar of ever uniting in opinion. He would again express his regret at the absence of Dr. Satchwell, that the dis cussion might continue. Ai his request, Dr. O Hagan took the floor and said his opinion on threapeulics was too well known by the Society to again repeat. He was not prepared to defend Dr. Nor com in the position he assumed in the discussion, nor was be here to attack Dr. Satchwell. After a few well-timed remarks in re gard to what good had been accom plished by the discussion of this subject, he closed by saving he eudprsed in toto the position of Dr. Norcom. Dr. loote being called out, he ac knqwledged himself under obligations to Dr. Norcom lor arousing an enthu siasm in the Society on a subject so im portant, occ, to the profession. The discussion had even enlisted the interest of learned men outside of the profession. lie knew that many members of the Society-'differed with Dr. Norcom, yet they must admit the fact that they were induced by his persistent efforts to think, read and ponder, when other wise they would not have done so. He proceeded to discuss that portion of the controversy on Pneumonia and at some length gave his own views on various treatments,the effects, &c, as occurred in his owh practice. (We would be pleased to reportDr. Foote's remarks at more length, hut six months hard training woulel not enable us to ar ticulate the hard words used, much less to write and spell them correctly.) Drs. Jones, Hines, Sharpe, and others participated in the discussion, and in justice to'the well formed opinion ot these gentlemen we can say, all differeel as to the best treatment for Pneumonia. Pending the discussion the Society ad journed. Names of the Streets and Ave- KUES IN THE ClTY OF RALEIGH. We. venture the assertion, that no city South, has grown more rapidly since the war, than the City ol Raleigh, it we except Atlanta, Georgia. In a former article we have stated the number of houses erected since the publication of that statement about one hundred addition al have been built, or are now in course of erection. This increase of buildings has added to our population, and neces sitated the opening ol many new streets and avenues lor the accommodation ot the people. As a matter of interest, we give the names of all our streets, that persons unacquainted with our city, or who may not have seen our new city map, may see that what we claim in the way of improvements is legitimate in every particular: South, Lenoir, Cabarrus, Davie, Mar tin, Hargett, Morgan, Hillsboro, New bern Avenue, Edenton Jones, Lane, North, Johnston, Peace, Holleman Road, Sanders, West,Harrington,Dawson, Mc Dowell, Fayetteville, Salisbury, Halifax, Wilmington, Blount, Person, Blood worth, East, Swain, Polk, Linden Ave nue, Oakwood Avenue, Cannon, Manly and Boylan. Some Cucumber. Yesterday Captain Bosher left at our office a cucumber which weighed one pound and a half and measured sixteen and a quarter inches in length. Upon our expressing surprise at the size of the vegetable Capt. B. informed us that this one was a perfect pigamy to some he would have in a lew days lrom his larm near this city. Capt. Bosher is a very successful gardener, and is famishing our market with choice vegetables. 'He tells us that he intends planting two acres in celery, and will be able to supply the city dur ing the winter. New M. Ds. As will be seen by a ref erence to our advertising columns, the Medical Examining Board ot the State, recently in session at Asheville, licensed a number of medical students to prac tice. If these gentlemen come up to the standard ol excellence to which the young physicians ot our acquaintance have obtained, they have a ready pass port to public confidence. We wish them a successful professional career. Davie County. -A gentleman writ ing us lrom this county, gives us the following items of interest : " We have had much rain, which has retarded the progress of the corn crop. Wheat and oats are looking remarkably well. The tobacco manufactures, as well as the increased production of the leaf tobacco, are steadily advancing in Davie." The Strike Over. A meeting of the mechanics at Metropolitan Hall last night accepted the ofler of the contrac tors to commence the ten hour system alter the 1st of August, which was the first proposition made by the contrac tors.

' may 24 21 Much is Said by Some Persons, about the large amount ot money carried out of our State, while but very few have any idea of the vast amount paid to our wid ows and orphans every month by Liie In surance Companies. P. F. Pescud, Sr., has just returned from Orange county, with the receipt of Col Robert F. Webb, for 82,500 paid on Excel sior policy, No 3,010, Insuring his late wife, Amanda F. Webb, and thlsCompany has paid several other losses recently. Te National Life Insurance Com pany, U. S. A., have paid, within a short time, on policies issued on the lives of W. A. Cherry, deceased, of Greenville, Rev. J' Brinton Smith, D. D., and others, upwards of 20.000 and among the checks on nand to pay more recent losses, is one for the late Dr. John S. Leach, of Johnston county, who insured about three years ago on the return premium plan, for $3,000. He paid 8300 and the check calls for 83,300. A splen did investment truly. The Insurance com missioners say that the National has a larger amount of cash to represent its lia bilities than any other Company in Ameri ca, and when its extremely low rates,, invi ting terms, and comparative freedom from certain restrictions is considered, it is not a matter of surprise, to And by referring to her last annual statement, that her cash capital of SI ,000,000 has been increased to nearly $3,000,000, that it has issued nearly 21,000 policies in little more than four years and that the interest on its investments has exceeded all the li sses to this date. As a compliment to Messis. P. F. Pescud A Son, the General Agents for this State, this noble Company has consented to es tablish a Loan Agency in this city, under the management of a Board of Directors, consisting of ?5 Policy Holders, of at least $5,000 each, and as 22 have already been se cured and but 3 more are required, we ad vise any one contemplating Insurance, to call immediately and thereby participate in the very great advantages which the Board will enjoy. Active and successful agents will consult their interest by applying to Pescud & Sc n, for a commission to solicit business in this state.
