This distressing affection—which renders life

Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conse
qtkonces that may ensue. Now, who that un
derstands the subject will pretend to deny that
the power of procreation is lost sooner by those
falling into improper habits than by the pru
dent. Besides being deprived the pleasures of
healthy offspring, the most serious and destruc
tive symptoms to both body and mind arise.
The system becomes deranged, the physical and
mental functions weakened, loss of procreative
power, nervous irritability, dyspepsia, palpita
tion of the heart, indigestion, constitutional
debility. a wasting of the. frame, cough, con

DB. JOHNSON,
Member of the 'Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, graduate from one of the most eminent
colleges in the 'United States, and the greater
part of whose life has been spent in the hospi
tals of London, Paris, Philadelphia and else
where, has effected some of the most astonishing
cures that were ever known ; many troubled
with ringing in the head and ear when asleep,
great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden
sounds,' bashfulness, with frequent blushing,
attended sometimes with derangement of mind
were cured immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE
These are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz :
weakness of the back and limbs, pains in the
head, dimness of sight, loss of muscular power,
palpitation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervous
irritability, symptoms of consumption, &c.
itutirALLY.—The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded—lose of memory, con
fusion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil fore
bodings, aversion to society, self distrust, love
of solitude, timidity, Brc., are some of the evils
produced.
• YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by a certain
practice indulged in when alone, a habit fra
quently learned from evil companions, or at
school, the effects of which are nightly felt,
even when asleep, and if not cured renders
marriage impossible, and destroys both mind
and body, should apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of
his country, the darling of his parents, should
be snatched from all prospects and enjoyments
of life, by the consequence of deviating from
the path of nature and indulging in a certain
secret habit. Such pecsonsarorrs, before contem
plating
•
MARRIAGE,.
Reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, without these, the journey
through life becomes a weary pilgrimage, :. the
prospect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind
becomes shadowed with despair and filled with
the melancholy reflection that the happiness of
another beoomes blighted with our own.
DISMARE OF IMPRUDENCE.
When the misguided and imprwlent votary
of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, It too often happens that
an Mimed sepse of shame or the dread of dis
covery deters him from applying to those who,
from education and respectability, can alone
befriend him. He falls into the hands of igno
rant and designing pretenders, who incapable
of curing, filch his pecuniary substance, keep
him WSW.; month after month, or as long as
the smallest fee can be obtained, and in despair
leave him with ruined health to sigh over his
galling disappointnient, or, by the use of the
deadly poison, Mercury, hasten the constitu
tional symptoms of this tarrlble disease, ouches
affections of the Ifead, Throat, Nose, Skin, etc.
progressing with frightful rapidity till death
puts a period to his dreadful sufferings by send
ing him to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns.
END.OBSKItIENT OF THE PRIM.
The many - thousands cured at this institution
year after year, and the numerous important
surgical operations performed by Dr. Johnson,
witnessed by the reporters of the Sun, Clipper,

appeared again and again before the public, be

THE SITUATION.
THE IMPENDING BATTLE
Tzar o'cLocx P. M.—Dispatches received here
yesterday morning at Headquarters report that
hearyllring was heard in the morning at Lou
don, Franklin oottuti, in the direction of the
South Mountain, which would seem to indicate
that a great battle was then going on between
Gen. Meade and the rebel force.
12 o'cLocm m.—lnformation was again re
ceived from London, confirming the previous
reports of heavy firing being heard in the direc
tion of Hagerstown, an,' is still continued at
Ishort intervals at that time.
4 45 P. m.—Additional information confirms
the firing to have been very rapid far a few, hours
but nothing could be heard of the result.—
Hverything was quiet up to 2 o'clock, P. M.
10 o'clock P. N.—Nothing more has been
heard of any battle being fought yesterday.
The firing heard during'the morning is supposed
to have been between skirmishing parties.
Firing was also heard daring the forenoon
and afternoon in"Neeirille. Parties who heard
it state that it must have been between Hagers
town and 13oonsboro, Md. The firing was heavy,
and was heard as late as 10 o'clock. At tin
time we close our forms, 11 o'clock, nothing
could be : ascertained of the result.-

LATER.
Since the above dispatch was written appa

the main body of Lee's army has fallen back
into position ou the neck of land opposite
Palling Waters
CHAMBEESBURG, July 11.—Lee's army which
haabeen occupying a pcsitionaround aigers
town for the past four days commenced to move
at five o'clock last evening past Hagerstown.
They divided their forces a portion taking
the road to Williamsport, and a portion niov
ing out on the National road towards Clear
Spring.
What their intentions are is not fully defined
at this time, that portion which took die Clear
Spring road may take the cross road in. the di
rection of Willliamsport, five miles out.
Several partiei arrived.here who left Hagers
town at nine o'clock this morning, and 'all
agree that there are no rebels in . that vicinity.
It is not knoivn that the Potomac is not ford
able, but it is feared that Lee has derived . some
means for making his escape, or he may be
moving on Hancock hoping to gain sufficient
time for the river to fall, and thns avoid giving
a battle.
Two hundred and ten rebel prisoners left
here to-day for Harrisburg;
General Dana arrived here-Act-dap for the
purpose of taking command of one of the di

General Ouch's Headquarters are here. He

% DISPATCH . FROM ADMIRAL PORTA%
WASMEITON, July 11.
The following dispatch has-been received at
the Navy Department :
U. S. HIPAISPIPPI EQIILIKION,
FLAG SHIP BLACK. HAWK,
Vicassinuir, July 3, 1853.
Han. aidecn Wan, &crelary of the Navy;
Sra—l have the honor to inform you that
Vicksburg has surrendered at last to the United
States forces, after a deaparate but vain re
sistance. That she haapot done so sooner, has
not been for want of ability on the part of our
military commanders, but from the magnitude
of the , defences. They were intended to re
pulse any force the Government could possibly
send there.
What bearing this will have on the rebellion
remains yet to be seen, but the magnitude of
the succers must go far toward crushing this
rebellion and restoring once more the commerce
of the Stales bordering on this river. History
has seldom had an opportunity of recording so
desperate a defence on the one eide, with so
much courage, ability, petseverauce and endu
rance on the other, and if ever an army was
entitled to the gratitude of a Nation, it is the
Army of the Mississippi and its gallant leaders.
The navy has necessarily performed a less
conspicuous part in the capture of Vicksburg
than the army, still it has been employed in a
manner highly creditable to all concerned.
Theo= boats have been constantly employed
below Vicksburg in shelling the works, and
with ono:less, co-operating , heartily with the left
wing of the army.
The mortar boats have been at work for forty
two days, without intermission; throwing shells
into all parts of the city, even reaching the
works in the rear of Vicksburg, and in front of
our position—a distance of three miles.
Three heavy guns placed on scows, a 9-inch,
10 inch and 100 pounder rifle, were placed in

ed all the important water batteries. They
have kept up an accurate and incessant fire for
fourteen - days, doing all the damage that could
be done by guns under such cuedtastances.
Five 8 inch, two 9 inch, two 42 pounder
rifles, and four 32 pounder shell guns, have
been landed at the request' of • the different
generals commanding corps, from the gunboats,
and mounted in the rear of Vicksburg *. and
whenever I could .epare the officers apd men
from our small complement, they were seat to
manage the guns—with what ability I leave to
the General commanding the forces to say.
In the meantime I stationed the smaller class
of gunboats to keep the banks of the Missis
sippi clear of guerrillas, who were assembling
in force and with a large number of cannon to
block the river and cut off-the transports bring
ing down supplies, reinforcements and ammu
nition for the army.
Though the rebels,
on several occasions, with
batteries and with alarge foree, attempted to
sink or capture the transports, they never suc
ceeded, but wet e defeated by the gunboats with
severe leas on all occasions.

that officers and meD Dever did their duty better

The capture of Vicksburg gives us a large

Bloom of Youth or Liquid Pearl
VOR beautifying and preEerving the cora
-1 plosion and skin.
After using Laird's Bloom of. Youth, or Liquid
Pearl, for a short time, it will leave the skin a
soft, satin-like texture ; it imparts freshness,
smoothness and transparency to the skin, that
can only be produced by the use of this valuable
article. It presents no vulgar white paint, es
all other attempted compounds do, but, on the
cbatrary, it will give the complexion a pearl
like tint, such as can only be found in youth ;
its use is impossible to be detected by the closest
observers. It is also invaluable for removing
all kinds of Humors, Tans, Freckels, Sunburns
and other cutaneous diseases from the skin.
Mr. Laird has.. every confidence in recom
mending his Bloom of Youth, or Liquid Pearl,
to the ladies of America, as being the only per
feat and reliable article now in use for beautifying
and preserving the compleraon and skin. •
