Dr. Johnson member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, graduate from one of the meet eminent Colleges of the United States, and the greatest part of whose life has been spent in thellospitals of London, Paris, Phila. dolphin and elsewhere, has effected Some of the most as tonishing cures that were ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the ears and head when asleep, great nor vousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derange ment of mind were oared Immediately, ' TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. u , dresses all those who having injured them• selves by i,r vine and Improper iudulgencles, that secret and solitary abit which ruins both eiodyond mind, me fitting them for either business or society.

MENTALLY, the fearful effects on the mind are m uch to be dreaded :—Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas, De pression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion toSocie ty, Self-distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, tire., are some of the oil effeeta. Thousands of persons of all ages, can now judge what la the Geese of their decline in health, losing their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous and emaciated, have singular appearance about the eyes, cough, and .symp, mg of consumption. YOUNG WIN who have injured themselves by a certain practice, in dulged in when alone—a habit frequently learned from 0111 zammanions, 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 hopes 01 his coml. try, the darling of his parents, should be snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of life by the consecpseneca of deviating from the path of nature, and indulging in 6 certain secret habit. Sulh persons must, before soviea. plating raalittLeAlE, effect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness.

DINA:RFS OF IMPRUDDICE.—When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it toe often happens that an ill-timed sense of shame or dread of discovery deters him from applying to those who, from education and re. spectability can alone befriend him, delaying till the cou . stitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make theo appearance, affecting the head, throat, UMW, skin, he., progressing on with frightful rapidity, till death puts a period to his dreadful sufferings by sending him to "11151 bourne from whence so traveler returns." It is a mei acholy fact that thousands fall victims to this terrible disease, owing to the unskilfulness of ignorant pretend ers, who, by the use or that deadly poison , i mercury, rule the constitution and make the residue ef lite miserable.

It was approved by the President on the 6th . . instant. AN Acr to mfleate property used for insurrectionary purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress asseMbled, That if, during the present or any future insurrection against the government of the United States, alter the President ot the United States shall have de dared, by proclamation, that the laws of the United States are opposed and the execution thereof obstructed by combinations too power tut to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the power vested in the marshals, by law, any person or persons, his her or their agent, attorney or employee, shall Purchase or atquire, sell or give, any property of whatsoever kind or description, with intent to use or employ the same, or suffer the same to be used or employed, in aiding, abetting or pro moting such insurrection or resistance to the laws, or any person or persons engaged therein; or if any person or persons, being the owner or Owners of any such property, shall knowingly use or employ, or consent to the use or employ ment of the same as aforesaid, all such proP trty is hereby declared to be lawful subject of prize and capture wherever found; and it shah be ale duty of the President of the United States to cause the same to be seized, confiscat ed and condemned. Sze. 2. And be it'further enacted, That such prizes and capture shall be condemned in the district or circuit court of the United States haying juris.:iction, of the amount, or in ad miralty in any district in which the same may be seized, or into which they may be taken and proceedings first instituted. sac. S. And be it further enacted, That the Attorney General, or any district attorney of the United States in which said property may at the time be, may institute the proceedings of condemnation, and in such case they shall be wholly for the benefit of the United States ; or any person may file an information with such attorney, in which case the proceedings shall be, for the use of such informer and the United States in equal parts. Sic. 4. And be it further enacted. That when ever hereafter, during the present insurrection against the Government of the United States, any person claimed to be held to labor or ser vice wider the law of any State shall be required or permitted by the person to whom such labor or service is'claimed to be due, or by the law ful agent of such person, to take up arms against the Unitet States, or shall be required or permitted by the person to whom such labor is due, or his lawful agent, to work or to be em ployed upon any fort, navy yard, dock, armory, ship, entrenchment, or in any military or naval service whatsoever, against the government and lawful authority of the United States, then and in every such case the person to whom such la bor or service is claimed to be due shall forfeit his claim to such labor, any law of the State or United States to the contrary notwithstanding. And whenever thereafter the person claiming such labor or service shall seek to enforce his claim, it shall be a full and sufficient answer to such claim that the person whose service or la bor is claimed had been employed in hostile Service against the government of the United states, contrary to - tne provistono of this act. Approved, August 6, 1861. • Taxation and the War The following sensible remarks we find in the Public Ledger, and commend them to the atten tion of those who would rather see their glori ous country laid in ruins than that business should be interfered with, or pay a mod erate tax to preserve it, in all its integrity, not only for themselves, but for their children and posterity to the latest generations : "A correspondent complains that taxation will be.very high to carry on the war, and he asks cannot an honorable, brave and intelligent people resort to some means of a peaceful ten dency to settle this contest. Well, what are the means he would suggest ? Are they the consent by the Government to its own destruc tion, and the establishment of two confedera cies side by aide, composed of people of the same kind, character, ambition and enterprise? The present war, costly as it will be, would bh as nothing compared with the cost of those which would follow from the rivalries and mul tiplied causes of collision between these two Governments. The breaking up of the Union would be the total annihilation of all republican government on this continent. It is to prevent this, the greatest disaster which could attend the twenty millions of people now enjoying the blessings of freedom that the present contest is nuw waged. It will be expensive, no doubt, but the waste of property is less an evil than the loss of freedom. It cost a great deal of Ireasure to estaulish the Government under which we have flourished so long, and now that its existence is threatened, all that is necessary to maintain it will be expended on that object. Against anarchy every man should war, for without proper government, neither property, liberty, or life itself is sate. GEN. POPE'I3 PLAN— 'PELTING THE FIDDLER.' '--- A correspondent of the Cincinnati.Gazeite, writ ing from St. Louis, says : "The recent measures adopted by General Pope to insure tranquility in the northent counties of. the State are working admirably. In every quarter one or more rank secessionists have been place i upon the committees of safe ty, greatly against their will. They flock to the General to assure him of their inability to preserve the peace, and beg that they may be released from so onerous a duty ; but he invari ably refuses to comply with their request, and tells them that if they are not familiar with the plottings of the traitors in their immediate localities, he desires them to make themselves so at once. 'lf you will dance, gentlemen," he says, 'you must pay the fiddler, and I can promise you the music shall be expensive.' These committees, you know, are held'respon sible for all property destroped by the rebels; that is, where they do not make every effort to' suppress any outbreak and quell. all unlawful proceedings." PROPOSED INOEBABE OE' MB REBEL disarr.—lt is understood in official circles, says the Dis patch, that the Secretary of War, the Hon. L. p. Walker, has recommended to Congress an addition to the Southern army of about three hundred and fifty regiments, or such a number as, added to the . force already organized, will make an aggregate of five, hundred and sixty regiments. Estimating each regiment at a thousand men, this would give a form of five hundred and sixty thousand men,,.rank and file. The white popnlation of the Confederate States being, in round numbers, five millions six hundred thousand souls, the proposed army would amount to just ten per cent. of the. whole; or one soldier to every ten white people. --RivAmemi.renguirsr. ittam flu; Saving procured Steam Power Presses, we are prepar ed to execute JOB add 11,01 i.

THE REBELS sHoRr OF POWDER. It has been ascertained that the rebel Gen. Magruder, of Newport notoriety, left Yorktown a few days ago with about seven thousand of the rebel forces there, and went in the direc tion of Richmond. It is supposed they were to join the column of Beauregard in front of Washington. There are many evidences that the rebels are concentrating between here and Richmond nearly all the troops they have in Virginia. This is construed into a preparation on their part for an attack upon our lines here. Col. Murphy's regiment moved yesterday from Alexandria College to Hunter's Church, a point two miles northeast of Bailey's Cross roads. This movement will place Col. Mur phy's pickets in close proximity to those of the rebels. The army of the Potomac is almost entirely brigaded. Each command is kept, ao far as possible, distinct from the rest. Navigation has at last been renewed on the Ohio and Chesapeake Canal, five boats having arrived to-day at Georgetown. Senator Carlile, who has just arrived from Western Virginia, states that the rebel forces under Lee had crossed Cheat River in two bod ies, five thousand by the road from Staunton, and another body by the road from Lewisburg. They were within fifteen miles of Gen. Rosen cram' position, near Cheat Mountain Pass, which commands two roads. As the rebels at Norfolk had on a former oc. casion fired upon a flag of truce going from our side, the reception of the flag of truce from them which brought the surgeons, has occa sioned some comment. It appears, however, that an ample apology had been made for the assault upon our flag of truce, and the assurance given that the officer in command on that oc casion had been dismissed from the rebel ser vice for permitting it. A rumor is current that Mr. Corcoran, the celebrated banker and money lender here, who has amassed an immense fortune out of the. 'United States government, has proposed to aid the rebels by loaning them money. What he will be able to lend them will be but a drop in the bucket full of their needs. But the act would be that of the .viper trying to sting to death the bosom in which it was warmed into life. A slave who escaped from Manassas, states that he was a private in the Quartermaster's Department, and he had heard him say on Tuesday before the battle, that silty-five thou sand rations had been given out that day. The troops, during Friday and Saturday, arrived at the rate of two or three thousand a day. He states that the rebels were short of powder, and that no ordinary offence was so severely pun ished as a waste of it. PROM BALTIMORE. THE UNION CONVENTION. PROMINENT.OANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR. The steamer Georgianna, from Old Point Comfort, brings no news of any speci .1 im portance. A ship, believed to be the Wed Wind, loaded with guano, is a shore on Hog Island.
