All diseased conditions, both acute and chronic, where there is Vitality enough left to react, are permanently cured, by warrantee, at 1220 Walnut street, Philadelphia, and in case of a failure in most obstinate maladies,no charge is made. Elec t] iced Institution, established about five years ago by Professor Bonnr.s. Read the following: A class of maladies prevails to a fearful extent in communities, dooming 100,000 youths, of both sexes. annually to an early grave. These diseases are very imperfectly understood. Their external manifestations or symptoms are nervous relaxation, and great exhaustion, marasmus, or• wasting and consumption of the tissues of the whole body, shortness of breathing, or too hurried breathing on ascending a hill or flight of stairs, palpitation of the heart, asthma, bronchitis, and a diy, sore throat, trembling and shaking of the arms and lower limbs, aversion to society, business, and to study: _sometimes dimness of the eyesight, loss of memory, dizziness of the head, neuralgia, pain In various parts of the body, pains In the back and lower limbs, lum bago, dyspepsia,gconstapation of the bowels, de ranged secretions of the kidneys, and many other glands of the body, producing virulent diseases in both males and females, likewise epilepsy, hys teria, and different forms of nervous spasms. Now, then, ninety-nine cases out of every hun dred of all the above named diseases, and a host of others not named, as consumption of the lungs or of the spinal nerves, have their origin in the pelvic viscera, hence the want. of success by any of the old medical systems of practice. All the above-named maladies are treated and cured by Professor Bolles ' at 1220 Walnut street. DISEASES OF FEMALES. Prolapses Uteri, Leucorrhcea, Amenorrhoea, Dysmenorrhoea. All the, above diseases and other - Uterine complaints have their origin in a loss of the vital power of the body,brought on by injuries, excesses, sedentary habits, personal abases, abor tions, and the use of powerful medicines. Some of the peculiar symptoms are dragging pains through the hips and back, weakness of the limbs, and extreme languor and debility throughout the entire system The effects produced from these troublesome maladies are almost multitudinous. Consumption, Dyspepsia, Neuralgia, Paralysis, Deafness, Blindness, Fits, Insanity and even Idiocy are not uncommon. No effectual or reliable remedy has ever been found for these alarming complaints till oar late discovery in the use of Electricity in strict accor dance with the positive and negative polar action of the Uterine Organs. We never failed in curing all of the above diseases, except in case of or ganic dPrangements,or severe injuries of the parts. At MO WALNUT street, Philadelphia.

IRONULADS FOR H E REBELS BUILDING IN FRANCE. IMPORTANT ARTICLE FROM A PRINCE PAPER. THE IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT OONNIV II\G- AT THE WRONG. We translate for the BC r.Lwrzx from the Opinics NaUmiak of Paris the following important article: Earl 'Russell has several times repeated in the House of Lords that the building of the Alabama and of various other confederate pirates in English ports was a scandal and disgrace to Eng land. Whether he expressed his sincere convic tion, or 'whether he used this language with the sole object of soothing the extremely angry feeling of the United States towards England, still the truth is that for more than a year he has proved inflexi ble against the construction - Of the pirates. The Confedrates then turned to France, and to begin, they oreered a whole squadron, with guns. shells, balls, Ac. Messrs. Arman, of Bordeaux, and Vorux, of Nantes, more bold than Mr. Laird, of Liverpool, undertook to deliver in ten months ships aver completely armed and ready for fight. These vessels were ostensibly for a line between China, Japan and San Francisco; but their true destination was soon known, and Ir. Daytonhas tsned to M. Brouyn de Lhays, as. Soon as he had unanswerable proofs In his hands. The principal charges, to the number of ten, were sent to R. Drouyn de Lhnys, Sept. 22, 1t63. The first in date is a letter written June 10th, by Arman to Id. Vorux. -- t M. Annan acknowl edges having received froni,Mr. Bullock, Captain in the confederate nary, and special agent of the government of Richmond, the sum of 7200100 trance, being the first 813th due for two ships that be had had built at Bordeaux • while ALT. Vorna had had built at Nantes two other ships by Messrs. Joliet, Babin and Dubigeon. These four ships were in course of construction from April lath IE6I and from June Ist, M. Armen had asked of the Minister of Marine authority to arm them. The charges numbered 2 and 3 are two letters, one of the lith and the other of the, lith of July, in which M. Vorux pirc Informs M. Vorux fits that Captains Bullock and Arnotex, accompanied by M. Erlanger, had left July 13, for Bordeaux, and that they had signed a contract by which Id. Armen engaged to build two iron clad ships, In dependent of the four not iron-clad. From the two letters it appears that they were actively at work in the foundries of X. Vorux pire, in Cast ing for the Confederate Grovernmext, guns, shell and Solid shot. A. certain number of these guns and balls had been ordered by Mr. Blakely of Lone on. The others were especially intended to arm the ships constructing at Nantes and Bor deaux. If there was any doubt concerning this, It 'would be removed by the letters 3 and e, from Messrs. Arman and Verna to the Ministry of Marine. The French government haying only imperfect information az to the destination of the ships, and the nee to be made of the arms ordered, had fur nished to M. Torun every facility desirable to ena ble him to fulfil his contract. . _ On the Bth of October Mr. Payton presented to M Drouyn de Lhuys new proofs, and among others the copy of a contract, signed Jul 16th, 1E62, by which M. Armen engaged with Mr. Bullock to _build two lron.clad Teasels, and the copy of an agreement, dated September 17th, by which M. Voruz promised to 'furnish to Captain Bullock S 6 guns and 12,000 shells. Finally, in a last letter not less explicit than the others, M. Arman proposes to i.Mr. Maury, Rear Admiral of the Oonfederate States of Ame rica," to build in a short time six new iron-clad gonboats, according to plans communicated by Capt. Jansen; and he promises, moreover, to fur nish, one month after the eigning of the contract, proof that be has in , his possession the necessary authority to ship the armament intended to be placed en board the gunboats. [.Some correspondence then is published, but it has all, we believe, appeared in the two volumes 01 diplomatic correspondence issued is January by the State Department, and we do not reproduce it here. The-article of the Opinions Nationaie con cludes as follows]: It might be supposed that this last letter of M. Drouyn de Lituya closed the diplomatic renee which we have sketched. In fact„ for a month or twv, the building of the ships, iron clad and not, was suspended. But, if we are well informed, the work bas been resumed for a consider able time, and at last two of the ships art ready to be delivered to, the Confederists agents. The New York Massager Franco-Am ericain, a truly loyal paper, in commenting on the above, says: "It throws a little light on the question as to whether the government of Napoleon favors the Confederates. All that we can infer from the arti cle is that Its connivance is not acknowledged; bat it cannot be much doubtedthat it exasts'in a latent state. This appears clearly from the concluding lines of the article." INSPECTION TOUR OF THE VICE PRESIDENT, [Correspondence of the Baltimore American.] CrAtIISRLAND. April 11.—The mail train for the West, from Baltimore and Washington, arrived here on Saturday afternoon at the usual hour, with two special cars attached, in which were Vice President Hamlin and a bevy of Senators and Re presentatives from Washington, accompanied by their wives and daughters, to the number of twenty or more in all. This distinguished party left Washington in the morning on a trip of in spection'of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and its teeming historical and scenic points of attrac tion. The train was greeted at the Relay by General Tyler, of General Wallace's Department; at Har per' s Ferry by General Max Weber and Colonel Wells; at 'Martinsburg by Generals Averell and Shaw, all of whom paid their respects to the Vice President and his suite. At this place a grand salute from'the new forts was fired as the tram ar rived, and Major-General Sigel and Staff; accom panied by Major-Generals Ord and Stahl, waited on the tourists in their cars. General Sigel soon prevailed upon them to remain over night in our city, and partake of his hospitality. Their cars were accordingly detached from the train, and the company escorted to the General's headquarters, at the Revere House. At nine o' clock at night the company were seated at. the table in the dining hall of the Revere Rouse, with General Sigel at their head, and the Vice President and lady on his right, to partake of an entertaiumentbounteously pro vided. In the course of the evening, General bigel arose and addressed his distinguished guests. welcoming them to Cara berland and thanking Ultra for their visit. " Mr. H fmlin then responded quite eloquently to the General's remarlai, thanking him for his cour tesy, and expressing the great satisfaction which he and his distinguished companions had derived already from their tour of inspection over the great work they _Were now inspecting. gimator Van Winkle made some remarks of ttle OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. happiest character in reference to the organization and development of his State and the intimate al liance which it bore the Government, through the great instrumentality of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, coupling the name of Mr. Smith, its Master of Transportation, wile was officially pre sent, in connection with the occasion. Mr. Smith was the next speaker, and confined his remarks to the difficulties with which his road had to contend during the war from all quarters, among which be intimated that the rebel raids were not altogether the most serious. He spoke particularly of the estimate that the Southern com manders bad placed upon the road, and especially their most vigorous commander—the late Stone wall Jackson, who had devoted several of his most earnest campaigns to its destruction; but finding the Company as earnest as he was himself, in its own cause, and that it would repair damages as rapidly as be could make them, he was led to exclaim that if the Federal commanders were only as effective as the Railroad General, he could not successfully withstand them. esterday morning the Vice President and his friends went to Wheeling, being escorted as far as Piedmont by h ajor Generals Sigel and Stahl. FROM WASHINGTON. The correspondent of the Herald writes as fol lows : Lieutenant-General Grant returned from An napolis to-day. The Committee of Ways and Means, in perfect ing the Internal Revenue bill, have adopted the principle suggested in the resolution Introduced by Mr. Odell on Monday, to levy an ad valorem tax of from one-eighth to one-half of one per cent. upon all sales of stocks, bonds, merchandise and real estate. Secretar y Chase left for New York this evening. The Navy Department is in receipt of advices from Arimiral Porter, from Alexandria, La. , of March 20, enclosing some rebel correspondence, which was captured by the gunboat Signal a day or two before, while the rebel mail carrier was crossing the river, giving a complete history of the rebel torpedoes, the machine that blew up the Housatonic and the manner In which it was done. Admiral Porter says, "They have jest appointeda Torpedo corps, for the purpose of blowing up pro perty of all kinds. Among other devilish inven tions is a torpedo. resembling a lump of coal, to be placed in coal piles and among the coal put on board of•vessels. The names of the parties are all mentioned in the correspondence, and I used a photograph of one of them ' Among the captured eorresporidence is a letter from T. E. Courteuey to Colonel H.-E. Clark, of the 7th Missouri cavalry, dated Richmond, January 19, in which, speaking of his inventions, he says: Ibe castings h ave all been completed some time, and the coal is so perfect that the most critical eye could not detect it. The President - thinks them perfect, but Mr. Seddon will do nothing without Congressional action, so I have been engaged for the past two weeks in getting up a bill which will cover myy ease. At last it has met his approval, and will to. ay go to Me Senate, and hence to the House in secret session. It provides that the Secretary of War shall have power to organize a secret "ser vice corps," commission, enlist and detail par ties, who shall retain f rmer rank and pay; also give such compensation as he may deem fit, not exceeding fifty per cent. for property partially and totally that:toyed; tilt° to advance when necessary, out of the Secret service fund, money to parties engaging to injure the entmy.

Another expedition of considerable Importance, under his direction, is being prepared to leave St. Paul about the 25th of May for the new Eldorado, 'via the Yellowstone. Secretary Chase has ordered that the interest due on May let,on Government securities, be paid now by the Treseurere and Asaistant Treasurers. '7ITE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. [Correspendence of the N. Y.

Thomas' a most •successfal and daring scouts, was murdered on the evening of the 2d inst., atlhe house of Wm. Mahan, in Broom town Talley, by the notorious bushwacker and guerilla, Jonas Andrews. Lawton, in company with two others, rode up to the house of Mahan, and asked his wife, who was standing at the door, if there was any person there. She replied: "No, there is no one here." Lawton then dismounted, and stepped inside the door, when Andrews, who had been concealed, stepped out, and shot him through the neck, causing instant death. Alter Andrews had killed Lawton, he shot at one of the men three times. He then turned, and ran out through the back door and yard into the woods, and made his escape. At the time Of his death, Lawton was about twenty-six years of age. He was born in the State of Georgia, where he lived till he was ten years old, when his parents moved to Mount Clements, in the State of Michigan, where they now reside. He was known by most of the prominent Generals in the Army of the Potomac, where he served long and faithfully in the dis charge of his duties.—Nashroille Press. 112COTHEICWAF.NING.—We,learn from the Mer cersbnrg Journai that a negrci boy in that place, re. cently took a musket from the house for the pur pose of shooting a load out of 'it, which had been in for some time.

The ball, which was a common musket one, passed through both sides of the stable, a stall and parti tion in All about four inches of timber), then entering a window lodged in the shoulder of Miss Mary B.

THE QUOTA OP THE CITY.—No definite infor mation can he obtained from the military author. ties in regard to the quota of the city under the late calls of the President for troops, and under which the • ' draft has been ordered. The number originally stated, about 19,000 was evidently wrong, but no reliable statement has been made. On several occasions facts and figures have been made u se of by members of Council in speeches, but nobody seemed 20 have any official information. The City Bounty Fund Commission have been very active in their endeavors to ascertain the quota of the city, and in their investigations. have discerned various discrepancies in tne credits to the city and State. It was stated by a member of the Common Council at the last meeting that the nine months men had been so apportioned as to give the State credit for 4,000 three years men. These were not included in de general statemen published some time since Mr. Lea of the Bounty Fund Commission, and Mr. E. Spencer Miller, of Select Council will start for Washington to-nigh . to endeavor to get the figures straightened out in the War Department. The general impression is that Philadelphia has filled her quota, and it is to be hoped that Messrs. Lea and Miller will be able to have the matter settled satisfactorily.
