DR. JOEINSTON. •
Dr. Johnson member of the Royal College of Surgeons,
London, gradnatefrom ono of the must eminent Colleges U
of the nited states, and the sveatest part of whose life
has boon spent in the tiespitale of London, Paris, Phila
delphia and elsewhere, has eaileted some of the most all
tonishing cures that were ever known. Many troubled
with ringing in the oars sad head when asleep, great ner
'nuances, being alarmed at sudden sounds, healthiness,
with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derange
ment of mind were cured Immediately,
TAKE PAETICULAIt NOTICE.
Dr. .1. dresses all those who having injured then
selves by r mate and improper indulgeneles,jhat secret
and solitary obit which rums both body and mind, on.
fitting them for either business or society.
Theta are some of the sad and melancholy adopts pro
duced by early babile 01 youth, viz : Weakness of the
Buck and Limbe,.Paina in the Read, Dimness of Sight,
Loss of Musoular Power, Paipitation of the Heart, Dys
pepsia, Nervous Irritabtiity Derangement el the Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of :f.:,ansump

IfitiloiTALLY
almcr.mtsr, the fearful mirage on the mind are mash to
be dreaded :—Losti of Memory, Confusion ol Ideas, Dot
preemies of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion toSocie
ty, Self-distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, fee.,are some
ol the ovil effects.
Thousands of persons of all ages, eau now bulge what
the cause of their decline In health, losing their vigor,
becoming weak, pale, nervous and emaciated, have a
singular appearance about the eyes, cough, and aymp
nut of consumption.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by a certain practice, in
delved to when alone—a habit frequently learned from
evil zompaniou, or at school, the affects 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 of his Own.
try, the darling of his parents should be snatched from
all preepects and enjoyments of life by the consequences
of deviating from the path of nature, and indulging in •
certain secret habit. Su th persona must, before content,

requisites to promote connubial . happiness. Indeed
without these, the journey through, life becomes a weary

which have appeared again and again before the publics,
besides his standing as a jentieman of character and re•
sponsshaity, is a sufficient guarantee to the afflicted.
DlSPecit'a OF IMPRUDENCE.—When the mieguidea
and imprudent votary of pleasure dnds he has 'imbibed
the seeds of this painful disease, it toe often happens that
an ID-timed sense of shame or dread of discovery deters
m from applying to those who, from education and: re.
,spectability can alone befriend him, delaying till the con
atitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their
appearance, affecting the need, throat, nose, skin, diss.,
'progressing on with frightful rapidity, till death pine a

Captain Parke,nf the tug Murray i , has ar
rived from Indian Head. He• reports that the
steamer. George Page was :.seen between 'Shirt
ping ,Point and EvAnsportiyesterday. afternoon.
It. is supposed that she - ram Aquia creek
under the ttrkness and - leg:during. the prev
lence of the storm .on
.; Tnesday night. She
crossed over to the Maryland. side , yesterday
afternoon, and Capt. Parks with his glass'could
see she waslorowded.with ' men. She was ob
served tomake only, one trip. The river there
is probably I U. mile and a quarter wide. She is
covered and protected by the rebel river
batteries. '
The Page while on her trip fired three shells
over to the Maryland shore in the direction of
the position of the third regiment (Sickle's
brigade.) '
Se4eral small boats have been observed cross
ing at or near the same point. •
A schooner with wood which ran the block
ade yesterclay, heard firing between the.eteam
ens Island Bell and Freeborn and the Matthias
Point batteries quite distinctly on Tuesday
night: !
;
There were lying at Indian Head yesterday
the Harriet Lane, Yankee, Hale, Wyandott,
Herhert an 4 Murray, which last has comp up.
. ,
The wood schooner mentioned, reports that
all the Government transports at Smith's Point
haie gone around to Annapolis.
There were rumors in the streets this morn
ing 'that the rebels had succeeded in effecting a
crossing of the Lower Potomac into
,Maryland.
But an officer who came up to-day in a gun
boat says that they have not attempted to cross.
He says, also, that such an attempt would be
futile, while our gun-boats still remains in sight
of them. i
The rebel steamer George Page is cruising in
the Potomac, but she is closely watched by our
gun-boats.

THE BATTLE OF BALL'S BLUFF.
Further Particulars of the Fight
Gen. MeClellim is now at his head-quarters,
and from the best data obtained at Harrison's
Island, up to late this evening, it is believed
That the number of killed is 79, wounded in
our possession and in posseSsion of the enemy
141, missing now, prisoners in the bands of the
enemy and wandering in the woods on both
shores of the river, not exceeding 400. The
total loss in killed, wounded and missing, 620.
This will be redUced by the men returning to
camp, as they are constantly coming in.
The officers and men behaved with the most
1.
extraordinary courage. They were pressed by
an overpowering force but stood firm until their
whole supply of ammunition was exhausted
and then retreated to the river and threw their
guns and swords into the river to prevent the
enemy from getting possession of them.
Col. Raymond Lee and Staff were furnished
with a sitiffto make their escape, The Colonel
gallantly refused, and gave orders to use it for
conveying the wounded across the river, It
was' filled with wounded, "who reached the
Maryland iihore in safety: The humane and
gallant officer was taken prisoner. All credit
is due to him. Col. Coggswelt took command
when Gen. Baker fell, and behaved with the
greatest coolness and gallantry. He is also a
prisoner.
Gen. McClellan returns with renewed confi
dence in the action and efficiency of his sol
diers. The conduct of General Baker in his
effort to rescue the Massachusetts and other
men under fire was heroic beyond descrip
tion.

LIORTNrIiG CA.LIGIULNIY.-0110 of the most
remarkable achievements of electricity is thins
referred to by a writer in Once a Week:
'Another great element of our present
is beginning to, make signs of its exis
tence in •the South Kensington Museum. We
allude to the , electric telegraph. Bakewell's
copying machine is - one of the most interesting
of this clasa, as it brings before the public eye
the means that can be employed to write with
a pen thouaands of miles in length. If . the
Atlantic cable were in'working order; tem 'in-'
stance, a man through its iiiitrumentalify - eloidd
sit down to write &letter in London and ,feel.
certain that a fac simile of his handwriting was.
at the same time coming out of telegraph office
at New York. • The manner in which 'this ini
tounding machine works is as fellows
The message is originally written on a conduct
ing material, such as tin foil; with resin or
some non-4onducting ink. Over the face of
this letter,. whidi is placed on a cylinder, a
point of metal revolves, this point is connected
with the conducting wire ; at New. York say a
piece of chemically prepared paper is placed on
a like cylinder to receive the message ; both
cylinders are made to' move around by clock
work. At the point of this end of the wire
passes over the non conducting resin writing, no
current passes, hence the point which moves
synonymously with it at New York does not
change the color of the paper, but all the other
surface of the writing tablet being a conductor,
the currents pass and deepen its color by chem
ical action on the far distant recording tablet.
The receiver thus obtains a perfect fac simile of
his correspondent's handwriting done in white
on a blue ground. Specimens of this electrical
hankwriting are placed beside the telegraph
machine in the Museum of Kensington, and af
ford an admirable example of the caligraphy of
the lightning pen.
LAME FOIL Mil BACK Aces.—lt is a custom
in Berwicke l hire, Scotland, among women-work
ers in the field when their backs become sore by
bowing low down while singling turnips with
short shanked hoeit, to lie down with their faces
to the ground allowing others to step on the
lower parts of their backs with one foot, several
times; until the pOn of fatigue is removed.
Barton, in his "First Footsteps in Eastern Af
rica," narrates a very similar custom of females
who lead the camels, who, on feeling fatigued,
"lie at full length, prone, standing upon each
other's backs, trampling and kneading with
their toes, and rise like giants refreshed." This
custom. is called "fogsi, in Africa, and in our
country, it is called "straightening the back."
