DR. JONNSON,
Member of the Royal. College of Surgeons, Lon
don, graduate from one of the moat 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 moat astonishing
cures that were ever known ; many troubled
with ringing in the head and ears when Weep,
great nervousness, being alarmed at- sudden
sounds, bashfulness, with frequent blushing,
attended sometimes with derangement of mind
were cured immediately.
TABS PARTICTULAII NOTICE.
These are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, vis :
weakness of the back and limbs, pains in the
head, dimnets,of eight, loss of muscular power,
palpitation of the heart, dyspepeia, nervous
Irritability, symptoms of consumption, &o.
filiOnALLT.—The fearful effects on the'mind
are much to be dreaded—loes of memory, con
fusion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil fore
bodings, aversion to society, self distrust, love
of solitude, timidity, &a., 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 comps:Mons, or at
school, the e ff ects of which are nightly felt,
even when Weep, 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. Ruch persons suer, before contem
plating
MA RRYAGE,
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 happbiese of
another become blighted with our own. -
DISEASE O 1 DORMANCY&
When the misguided and imprudent votary
of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that
an Mimed sense 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 andilesigning pretenders, who, incapable
of curing, fllch his pecuniary substance, keep
him trifling; 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 symptoms of this terrible disease, such as
affections of the Head, Throat, Nose, Oldn, 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.
- INDOESEKENT OF THE PEW.
The many thousands cured at this institution
year after year, and the numerous important'
surgical operations performed by Dr. Johnerin„
witnessed by the reporters of the Stott at,
and many other papers, notices of which have
apred again and again before the public, be
des his standing as a gentleman of character

SECRET OF BEAUTY!
LAIRD'S
Bloom of Youth or . Liquid Pearl
VOR beautifying and preserving the com
plexion and skin.
After using Bird'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, as
all other attempted compounds do, but, on the'
contrary, it will give the complexion a pearl
like tint, such as can only he 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, *eckels, Sunburns
and other cutaneous diseases from the skin.
Mr. Laird has ev'e'ry confidence in recom
mending his Bloom of Youth, or Liquid Pearl,
to the ladies of America, as being the only per
fect and reliable article now in use for beautifying
and preserving the contileiliot and akin.

three hundred rebel prisoners from Chester,
Pennsylvania, in charge of MajorJcbn .E
Acting Brigadier General . B. F. Onderdonk,
let New York Mounted Rifles, and two compa
nies of the 11th Pennsylvania cavalry, have
lust returoed to Portsmouth, Virginia, from a
long raid into North Carolina- They parsed .
Edenton, N. C., and opened communication
with Capt. Roberts in command at' South Mill 4;
thence they proceeded . 'to Pasainotank and
Hertford, and while about half way between
the two places werenttacired by guerillas, and
in the skirmish lost two wounded riflemen.
They killed thirty guerillis rind drove several
into the Dismal Swamp, :who were drowned'.
C4ptured ninety horses, thirty mules, some
cattle, &c. It was a yery successful raid.
Two refugees arrived'in Norfolk to-day from
Richmond; who were born lai"Otwada. They
report that the rebel government is terribly
frightened about Churleston, and say if it is
taken all is lost. A guard is kept about the
residence of Jeff. Davis night and, day.
There are very few troops ,in or about Rich,
mond, and only one brigade between there and
Petersburg. .3 ,

Rebellion Against Davis at the
There are some persons who are inclined. to
donbt the accuracy of the published statementa
that a marked change of sentiment, is going on
throughout the South, leading to wholesale de-.
sertions from the rebel ,armies, the formatiort
of T organised bodies of malcontents, and the
oven resistance, in someplace% of the rebel en
thority. .That this spirit of ; rebellion, however,
is actually abroad in the Southern States, is ca
pable of easy demonstration. A letter found in

from this command, together' With 'the con
' scripts, have formed themselves into a company
for mutual protection and resistance of. (=fed
erate inthorities. They number Somoieventy
fore inen, and meet in their camp once or twice
a week, and 'the depredations carried on 'by
them are fearful. The citizens are intimidated
and dare not speak their mind in the neighbor

" I ahio beg leave to stbinit the followin,
facts : That the entire lake coast of St Tam-
Many, over sixty miles in width, is left un
guarded, and daily communication Is kept up
with the enemy in New °riming ; that cotton
and other contrabands are shipped to the ene
my to any extent the people may see proper. I
saw many loads of cotton being hauled for
shipment to New 'Maine.
"There fis a steamer by the name of the
Charles Busk, Captain J. Johnson, plying be
tureen the lower landings of Pearl river and
some of the counties in the State of Mississip
pi. Upon the return trip she` brings cotton to
the lower landings, from thence it is shipped to
New Orleans.
"Negroes are constantly leaving Washington
and Fort Tammany parishes, La., and Hancock
and Pike counties, Miss:, and the people think
they will all, leave if there is not sufficient force
sent to protect the coast.
"I find the people much exposed to the dep
redations of this band, and I ask, in behalf of
the citizens of the parish of Washington, in
which companies A, (3 and K of this battalion
were raised, that some force be sent to protect
the families of the men who are now in the ser
vice of their country.

A telegram has been received from. General
Halleck ordering a sus.,..ension of the proposod
harbor defences, and directing the adoption of
another plan. Instead of erecting works on
Gerber and Buena Islands and Reucou Point,
two large-batteries-of ten guns each are to be
constructed on Angel Island, and a heavy bat
tery on San Jose . or Block Point. The works
are to be commenced as soon , as the heavy tim
ber required, can be obtained.
A THREAD Cmuumoy.--la some places in the
South, Confederate money is not very highly
esteemed. There is one dark spot in the region
about Tuscaloosa where produce cannot be
lionght for the notes of Jeff. Davis. The petit.
otic farmers' wives only receive 'thread as cur
rehoy, and the result is that the thread factory
in 'Tuscaloosa becomes the bank for - that com
munity. There is a regular day and hour sue
cified for the sale of thread, and nt those times
the :eagerness to get a "hund!e" of threw i in
exchange' for $lO is as great as was the desire
of your traders to get the first issues of postal
currency. This is described Ly "Nlesporie"
thus`. .
The iadalthy lady stoops from her can iage ar- d
directs her escort to tell Mr. Kirkman tn:,t M rs.
Bich-enough-to-buy you desires a bundle, 3
she returns at once to - the country. But as thu
distribution is madeby honest citizens, no par.
Manly is observable. During much wrangling
and dispute, the fifty bundles are sold, the coun
try people having the preference, and the crowd
of a hundred or so unsuccessful persons dispersed
to try for better snows upon the ensuing dis
tribution day. You see now the sequel. A
wagon laden with vegetables, etc., calls at every
house. "How much do yon ask for butter I"'
"A dollar a pound for thread !" "I'll give' you
Six hanks of it for es many pounds of butter."
The offer is eagerly accepted, and a hank of
thread, which costs forty cents, buys a pound
of butter. Such is the origin and operation of
tour thread currency. To keep your table sup -
'plied; you must present yourself at the thread
distribution, and continue to do so until sue
icessful, and then you have the panacea for all
!wants.— Correspondence of the Nobile Evening News.

OVKLunODE OF SLAUGHTERING —Dr. Carson, at.
eminent English physician and physiologist,
,:who is said to have contributed no sma amount
!of valuable information to the medical and
Iphyrdological literature of England, has recently
suggested a plan, the result of much personal
study and experiment, by which animals in
' kended for the provision. market may be so
ifbutghtered as at once to cause death with the
petit amount of pain, and greatly improve the
!quality of the meat — The proc-es recommend
.. 4s theadarissiOrrof striate thethroat of the
animal, by means of puncturing between the
ribs, whereby the lungs are collapted, and can
not be again inflated. Simultaneously with this
ipuncturing, the spinal marrow at the junction
of the skull with the first joint of the neck is
severed by means of a short knife, which pro
duces instantaneous paralysis and almost im
mediate death. The physiological explanation
,of this process is the sudden stoppage of breath
ling, and the immediate- suspension of the cir
tulation of the blood, by which all the veinous
or carbonated blood is prevented from entering
the lungs, and is drained off frcm the carcase,
,while the arterial blood and sanguineons lymph
lye retained, which, it is said, renders the flesh
,more succulent and nutritious than ; when it is
completely drained of the fluids named, as in
the ordinary way. 'lt is also said by the butch
ers who have practiced this mode •of killing,
that the - meat so prepared sets sooner and keeps
longer.
Arnim TO ASSASSINATE GENICRAT WHIPPLE.-
The Miners 'Journa/, of Pottsville, Pa., reports:
General Whipple, commander; of this military
post, on Saturday last rode out with one of his
staff to York Farm, inthe afternoon, and while
sitting on his horse viewing the scenery, pop
went a gun in the distance, and a ball whizzed
past him. His first impression was that some
one was at target practice, bat did not dream
that he was the mark, until another leaden
measoriger . came hamming along in such close
proximity to the General's body that he was
forced to the conclusion that he was being tired
at, and by a good marksman. A "change of
base" was resolved upon, and as the General
turned his horse to come into town, a third
ball came so near the General's person as to
cause him to remark that he thought be had
never made a more narrow escape. A Copper
head no doubt was trying his maiden hand at
Murder.
A Vxawowr Mum= claims to have invented
a self-propelling wheel, or perpetual motion.—
Et correspondent of the Boston Jourea2 thus
decribes it: It is a simple wheel, runs ou gudg
eons, and is independent of any outside spring,
weight or power, as a propeller. • On the same
axle on which the metal wheel is fixed is a band
.wheel, on which a band runs over a small put •
ley that drives a small circular saw. Set it on
a table and remove the brake, and it will start
itself and run with great velocity, driving the
saw. It is the simplest thing in the world, bat
I cannot intelligibly describe it; but it is at once
understood by the beholder. It will not, nay,
cannot stop without a brake, as it so fixed by
means of balls and arms that the descending side
of the wheel is perpetually farther from the
centre of the motion than the emending.

HINRY Wean Bantam has made one speech
in 'England, at the opening of a new chapel.--
In it he saps: "I began my ministry in a church
in the wilderness, where there were nineteen
women. and one man, and I wished him out
more times.than one. They were the saints,
and he was 'the sinner. I was at that timesex
ton and general undertaker fof,the church. I
swept it, I bought the lamps, and lit them . ; l
would have rung the bell, but these:waii none.
[Laughter and applause.] - I did the preaching,
was superintendent of the Sabbath:school, and
did iseerytbing else there wee tit do; and though
many years have passed, and I have seen other
scenes, I have never had happier days since."
