JOHNSTON Dr. JOhneen. member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, graduate from one of the meat eminent Colleges of the United States, and the greatest part of whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of London, Paris, Phila delphia and. elsewhere, has effected some of the most as- Relishing cures that were over known. Many troubled with ringing in the ears and head When asleep, great ner vousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derange. ment of mind were cured immediately, TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.

What a pity that a young man, the hopes of his coon. try, the darling of his parents, should be snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of life by the consequences of deviating from the path of nature, and indulging in certain secret habit. Such persons must, before content. plating mAERLS.GE,3 effect that a sound mind antibody are the most newts/ail requisites to promote connubial happiness.

General Reynolds Drives the Rebels before Him, ROSENCRANS ALSO ADVANCING THE LATE BATTLE AT CHAPMANVILLE, FROM . THE ARMY OF GEN. REYNOLDS FLA - WATER, VA., Oct. 10. Gen. Reynolds has made two reconnoissances in force within the last few days against the rebels, under Gen. Lee, and has driven them from Big Springs, the former rendezvous of his main force. Part of his force is now posted at Elk Mountain and Greenbrier Bridge, re spectively 30 and 40 miles from here, and part of it under Gen. Lee, who is said to have joined Gen. Floyd at Big Springs previous to the re connoissance. The rebels destroyed their camp equipage, amunition, and several hundred muskets. The rebels left several wagons, &c., the road being absolutely impassable for vehicles beyond a point twelve miles from Elkwater. FROM THE ARMY OF GEN. ROSENCRANS. CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.—The Commercial's Kana wha advices state that General Rosecrans is at Mountain Cave, a strong position twenty-five miles beyond the Gauley. He had advanced ten miles further to Little Sewell, but. the enemy being two well entrench ed and two strong at Big Sewell, five miles fur ther on, to be attacked. Gen. Rosencrans fell back as an invitation to the rebels to come out and have a fair fight. There was no expecta tion of an attempt by the enemy to forge his position. The weather in the Ganley region was terri ble. Rain was falling almost incessantly. Gen. Rosecram's troops were well clothed, having now plenty of overcoats and blankets. The late fight at Chapmanville was a sharp and bloody affair. Five of Capt. Craft's Zouaves were killed. The rebels are reported to have lost thirty-five killed. A dispatch from Gen. Reynolds to• Gov. Mor ton, dated Huttonville, Oct. Bth, says : "The enemy in our front, on the Huntersville road, has been driven to Green Brier Springs, twenty miles beyond Big Springs, their late rendezvous. They are about fifty miles from Elkwater, and one hundred and twenty from Cheat. Mountain. The roads towards Huntersville are impassable for wheels, The rebels destroyed hundreds of muskets, tents, camp equipage, &o. Several wagons abandoned by the rebels fell into our hands." . From Washington. IMPORTANT MILITARY MOVEMENTS. The Pennsylvania Troops Advancing. The Potter Investigating Committee. WASILLNGON, Oct. 10 Important movements of Pennsylvaniatroops are going on, which it is not proper to describe to-day. Of course they relate to the advance of our right wing to Lewinsville, made yester day. • • There is a rumor afloat to the effect that General McCall's division has crossed the Chain Bridge into Virginia. This may be one of the movements mentioned by our correspondent. This morning a soldier was accidentally kill ed at Tennallytown while :attending the funeral of his brother, who died yesterday. He was a Pennsylvania); but I have not ascertained his name, nor any other particulars. Mr. Potter closed the proceedinr , s of his in vestigating c,onunittee, ,to-day, and has his re port ready. He says he has succeeded in ferret ing out a large number of disloyal officials employed by the government, some of whom, he regrets to add, are still retained in office. Mr. Potter , was to-day presented with a ser vice of plate by his friends. A secession bank here, the bank of Washing ton, refuses to redeem its .own: notes in specie, and charges a per tentage on Treasury notes. THE PHIL hi:DELPHI& ELECTION. PaiLADELaaA., Oct. 10 The numerous innovations recently legislated into our city election has so greatly confused the returns that the result of Tuesday's vote is still uncertain and will probably be undecided till next month. The matter was brought be fore the court to-day, when it was decided that no certificate of election should be awarded un til November, when the military vote will be officially counted. A Cosmr. RZBELLIOII.---A Leavenworth paper says it has information to the effect that one hundred slaves leave "Missouri every day for Kansas. At this rate should this rebellion hold on for a year or so, it will need no emancipa tion proclamation to make Missouri a free State. In fact her "manifest destiny" is already clear ly foreshadowed. So much for secession in Missouri.

NO. 38 A Volunteer on Desperate Service. . . Shortly after the battle of Carnifax Ferry, communication was cut off between the Federal camp at Elkwater and that at Cheat Mountain summit, the rebels holding possession of the road. It was necessary that communication should be le-established between Gen. Reynolds at the former place and Col. Kimball at the latter. Several attempts had been made, but the messengers had been killed iu every case. Four had already set out and had been picked off. The whole camp at Elkwater was in dan ger, and it was necessary to get word at the summit at once, and another young man vol unteered, but he, too, was never heard from after he left _camp. The commanding officer then stated to his men their danger, and called upon some one to again volunteer to perform the risk. Not a man responded in all the camp, until at last one was found in Captain Loomis's Michigan battery. Henry H. Norrington, of Detroit, offered to peril his life to save the others. He started out and succeeded in eluding the enemy, crawl ing miles upon his hands and knees with his messages rolled up and in his mouth ready to swallow in a moment if he was taken, and finally reached the friendly camp. He also had to re turn, and, after rwiving his dispatches, set out in the night, thelVholo camp shaking hands with him, never expecting to see him again. He traveled all night, guided by the north star, and the next day crawled as before on his hands and knees. He finally struck the main road a few miles below Elkwater. Seeing one of the enemy's cavalry horses tied to a stake by the roadside, and the owner not visible, he crept up, cut the rope with his knife, and rode off in hot haste with several shots whizzing around him. He arrived safely in camp and delivered his dis patches, being the only survivor of six that had attempted the perilous task. As a reward for his bravery and daring, he was promoted in the company to be cider of a piece, and was placed upon the Commanding General's staff as Mounted Orderly, He was presented by the captain of his company with a sword, and by the General with an elegant revolver. He was greeted upon parade with nine cheers by the entire command, and his pay more than dou bled. Besides this, favorable mention was made of his feat and the great service he had performed, in the official report forwarded to the Department at Washington. Tan COURSE OF FRAIM.—The Paris corres pondent of the National bitelligencer writes as follows under date of Sept. 20 : Whatever doubt may exist in the United States relative to the course the British govern ment may determine to pursue, in certain eventualities, toward the blockade of our south ern coast, the question of French co-operation in any meditated design to break it, is now con clusively settled in the negative. The total stoppage of commerce with the rebellious states has made itself severely felt in France, and the strongest influences have been brought to bear upon the government to obtain from it some encouragement - to hope that an interference is in contemplation. The result of these com mercial efforts have been to bring an explicit dispatch on the subject from th Minister of Commerce, addressed to the Boards of Trade in all the principal cities of France. The only comment I have to make on this document, which will of course be thoroughly discussed in the United States, is that the Southern Commissioners, who have been ex erting themselves to the utmost to induce the French Government to break up the blockade, have clearly broken down at all points, and have nothing whatever to hope for in this quarter. ' A story is in circulation among some of the French papers to the effect that the agents of our Government are endeavoring to enrol French officers for the United States army by offers of high rank and pay. The story is pub licly refuted in to-day's Constitutionnel.
