ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
EIS
Immediately Cared, and fall vigor restored.
This distressing affection—which renders life
miserable and marriage impcesible—is the pen
alty paid by the victims of improper indulgence.
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conse
quences 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
sumption, decay and death.

colleges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose life has been spent in the hospP

cures that were ever known ; many troubled
with ringing in the head and ears when asleep,

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE
tusk are some of the sad and melancholy

head, dimness of sight, loss of muscular power,
palpitation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervous
irritability, symptoms of consumption, arc.
MIINTAILY. —The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded—loss of meMory, co 1'
ftkion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil fore
bodings, aversion to society, self. distrust, love
of solitude, timidity, Sm., are some of the evils
produced.
Who have injured themselves by a certain
practice indulged in when alone, a habit fre
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 front
the path of nature and indulging in a certain
secret habit. Such persons min; before contem

MARRIAGE,
Reflect that a sound mind and buy 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 becomes blighted with our own.
DISEABE IMPRIJDENCEI
When the misguided and imprudent votary
of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that
an illtimed sense of shame or the dread of dis
covery deters him from applying to those who;
from education and reeptotability, can alone
befriend him. He falls into the hands of Igno
rant and designing pretenders, who, incapable'
of curing, filch his pecuniary subsitance, keep
him triflin : 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 disappointment, or, by the use of the
deadly poison, Mercury, hasten the constitu
tional 13 ymptoma of this terrible disease, such as
affections of the Head, Throat, Ncee, Skin, etc.

The intelligence by the Arago confirms the
telegrams already, published from rebel
soulcea, respecting the stoond a-vault upon
Fort Wagner, on Morris Island, by Genetal
Gilmore's forces and the monitors, mortal
schoontrs and gunboats under Admiral Dabl
grel►:
After - 'the first unsuccessful' asaanit on the
10th inst., General Gilmoie lost no, time in
throwing up batteties on Morris Island . , withit,
800 yards of Fort Wagner, in order to rechioe
it by siege. On the morning of the 18th,
twelve or fifteen heavy guns wtre in position.
beside eight or ten mortars. General Gilmore,
therefore, determined to commence the attack,
which was opened at 11 A. at.
The bombardment was conducted in a spirited
manner, Gilmore's batteries initiating the w,rk,
and Admiral Dahlgreeu's five monitors, the
Irocsides, two mortar schooners and thret
wooden gunboats, quickly joinkg in the en- .
gliVment.
- The enemy replied briskly from Fort Weg
ner rand Battery Bee, just beyond the Cuw
ming's Point, while hunter kept up a sharp
fire trom the gene on her southwestern face,
among which were two riff d pieces of heavy
calibre. Most of -"the fire of the rebels was di
rented upon the Monitors and the other naval
vessels, only an occasional shell being sent, to
wards the batteries. 'Although " the iron-clad
were repeatedly struck, they Buffered very little
real damage, and the only losses in the batter
les were a Lieuteuaut of the Seventy sixth Penn
sylvania regiment, who was killed by a chanc.
shot, and the wounding of six of the stinners
Soon after 4 o'clock the firing from Fort
Wagner ceased. It was the knowu that out
orave fellows bad succeeded in dismounting 0.,e
one gun, and it was also pretty well ascertained
that another of the rebel pieces had burst.—
These facts fed to the' supposition that the en
emy had evacuated the wotk, and it was de
termined to attempt its occupation. For this
purpose two brigades, consisting of the Seventh
Connecticut regiment, the Third New Hamp
ehire,tbe Ninth lklaine,the Seventysixth_ Penn
sylvania, and the Forty eighth' New York,
under Brig. Gen. Strong, and the Seventh New
Hampshire, riixth Connecticut, Sixty second
Ohio, One Hundredth New York and Fifty
fourth Massachuseetts, colored, under Colonel
Putnam, who had been under arms all thy,
Oreeued from the enemy behind a range of said
hills, in the rear of oui• _works,- were ordered
forward. •
This was at dusk, and both brigades were
formed in line en the beach, the regiments
being disposed in columns,' excepting the col.
bored regiment which for some resort was given
ibe post of extreme honor and of danger in the
advance, and was drawn up in line of battle,
exposing its full front to the enemy. This
movement of the troops was observed by Bum.
ter, and fire was at once opened on them, haP
pily without' doing any injury, as the shells
went over the heads of the men.
Gen.' Strong's brigade under this fire moved
along the beach at a slow time
. for about three
'
quarters of a mile when the men were ordered
to lie down. Iu this position they remained
half an hour, Sumter meanwhile befog joined
in the cannonade by the rebels in Battery Bee,
but without effect upon our troops. It was now
quite dark, and- the grder was given for both
brigades to adiance, Gen. Strong's leading and
Col. Putnam's within supporting distance. The
troops went forward at quick time and in deep.
silence, until the A'ifty : fourth Etissachusette,
led by its gallant Col. Shaw, was. ithin two
hundred yards of the'work, when the men gave
a fierce yell and rushed up,the glacis, closely
follewed;by the - other,reglinentki of the brigade.
The erieMy . ,,hi butte silent as the grave, while
our men viereitvioriging over the glacis, opened
upon ,them. ruritinsly with grape, csuniater, and
a coritinpus,fusilade of small'arms.
Theegellant megroes, however, plunged on
regardlees of, this murderous reception, and
m;ny oPhein crossed the ditch, although it
contained. four Let of water, gaining the pare.
pet. They were dislodged, believer, in a feW
mimitrs with hand grenades, and retired halter,
skelter, leaving more than half their number,
including their lbrve colonel, dead upon the
field. ,
'llll3 ) 6th Connetticut regiment, under Lieu
tenant Cli l lorielPOditan, was neat in,support of
the 64th, they also suffered ' terribly, tieing
compelled to retire after a stubborn contest.
The 9th Maine, which was next in lice was
broken np by the passage of the remnant t f
the repulsed colored regiment theogh its
lines, and retired in contusion, excepting three
comp mica, which nobly stood their ground.
It now devolved upon the 3d New Hamp
shire regiment to push forward, and led by
General Strong and Colonel Jackson in person,
the gallant fellows dashed up against the fort
Three companies actually gained the ditch, and
wading through the water found ehelter against
the enbankment. Here was the critical point
of the assault and the second brigade, which
shuold have beet) up and ready to support their
comrades of the first, were unaccountably de•
leyed. General Strong then gave the order to
fall back, and lie down on the glade, which
was obeyed without confusion.
It was while waiting here, exposed to the
heavy fire, that Gen. Strong was wounded. A
fragment of shell entered his thigh, passing
entirely through the fleshy part and m .king a
serious wound, although the bone escaped frac
ture. The breast of Col. Jackson's coat was
torn off at the same time by a piece of shell,
slightly wounding him. Neither of these brave
men would lie down to escape the rain of metal,
but stood unflinchingly throughout, eliciting
the unbounded admiration of their men.—
Finding that the supports did not come, Gen.
Strong gave the order for his brigade to retire;
and the men left the field in perfect order.
A little while afterwards the other brigades
came up, and made up for their apparent tardi
sees by glorious deeds of valor. Bushing hn
petuously up the glade, undeterred by the fory
of the enemy, whose fire. was not intermitted
for a second, several of the regiments succeeded
in cros.ing the ditch, scaling the parapet and
descending Into the fort. Here a hand to-hand
conflict ensued. Our men fought with deeprra
iron, and were able to chive the enemy from
one side of the work to seek shelter between
the traverses, while they held possession for
something more than an hour. This unparal
elled piece of gallantry was unfortunately of no
advantage. The enemy rallied, and having
received:large reinforcements, made a charge
upon the band of heroes, and expelled them
from their nobly won position by thefsheer force
of numbers. One of the regiments engaged in
this brilliant dash was the 48th New York, Col.
Barton, and it came out almost decimated.
The most distressing part of its disastrous
treatment is, that the enemy did not inflict the
damage. It was the result of a mistake on the
part of one of our regiments. The 48th was
among the first to enter the fort, and was flied
upon by a regiment that gained the parapet
some minutes later, under the supposition that
it was the enemy.
About midnight the order was given to re
tire, and our men fell back to the rifle pits out
side of our own works, having engaged in as
hotly contested a battle as has ever been
fought.
Our casualties, as may reasonably be expect
ed, were very large. The list of killed, wounded
and missing foots. up Pleat hundred and thirty.
Amon.- '
the killed are Cu!. Putnam, of the
Seventh New Hampshire ; Col. Shaw, of the
Fifty fourth Massachuset a; Lieut Cul. Green,
of the Forty-eighth New York ; Adjutant
Libby, of the Third New Hampshire.
Gen. Seymour was wounded in the foot,
while directing movements is the field.
Col. Barton, of the Forty-eighth New York,
was wounded in the thigh by a bail, which
flattened against the bone.
Lieut. Col Rodman, of the Sixth Connecti
cut, was seriously wounded.
Lieut. Cu]. Bedell, of the Third New Hamp
shire, was taken prieontr.
- The day after the ft:b t, the steamers Cosmo
pnlit en and Mary B nton were dispatched to
Hilton Head with the sounded, and every house
in Beaufort is occupied as a hespital.
Our dead bodies were buried on Monday, at
least that portion of them that were on the field
within the li Ate that our burying party we-
allowed to appr ach the rebel works. Those
who fell on the glade; and the ditch were in
terred by the enemy.
Individual instances of heroism during the
coutest were numerous. Among others. it is
mentioned that the color bearer of the Fifty
fourth Massachusetts stood nobly upon the &ads

Winder, now in close confinement in Fuitrtss
M. /woe in cope Captain Sewyer and Captain
Flynn, in the Libby prig n, are }lanced, pro
vokes the following foolish production from the
editor of the itichmood Sentinel: 'the news 'rum
Fortress Monroe to the effect that .he enemy
intend to murder two of our officers in retalia
tion for the two officers who have beau set apart
as the retaliation for the murder of t oof our
captains taken In Kentucky, will impress the
most giddy with the seriousness which affairs
have assumed. President Davis has shown
great forbearance, which has caused many who
were incapable of appreciating it—seeing th-et
they keep very carefully out of harm's way—to
charge him with weakness. He very properly
used every means to avert the bloody front
which-the war is now to wear. Every drop of
blood now to be shed on both sides, is a crime
of Lincoln's.
Of course, the intended EtteriflCO of fur two
officers at Fortress Monroe will be sn-ely retali
ated. That is to say, that all prb , oners on both
sides, are to be henceforth put to death. The
black flag is up at last; Lincoln has raised it;
let fiends rejoice.
