DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE—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 shams or dread of discovery deters him from applying to those who, from education and re. spectability can alone befriend him, delaying till the con • etitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, affecting the head, throat, nose, skin, leo, progressing on with frightful rapidity, till death puts a period to his dread tut sufferings by sending him to "that bourne from whence so traveler returns." It Is a mei• ancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this terrible disease, owing to the unskilfulness of ignorant pretend ers, who, by the use of that daunt/ x. 411", mercury, ruts the constitution and make the residue of life miserable.

GREAT BRITAIN. —The speech of Mr. Adams the American Minister, at the Lord Mayor's banquet has attracted considerable attention. He was silent as to the war but very pacific towards England. The London Batty News says it was frank manly, sersika.-.3.1 seasonable, and )33.10% be cordially welcomed by England at large, espe: dally as a small but active faction is doing its utmost to misrepresent American diplomancy and create ill feeling. The London Morning Post says that the speech was marked by the most friendly statements re specting the good feelings of the American Gov ernment and people toward England, and hopes that no occurrence will happen to belie these statements. The London Times is characteristically satcas tic, but at the same time complimentary to Mr Adams Dudley Mann and Yancey were guests at the grand banquet of the fishmongers company in London. The latter spoke to a toast for the re storation of peace in America. He spoke strongly in defence of the Confederate cause, and eulogized England for her recognition of belligerent rights. He said the Confederates did not desire inter vention, being able to maintain their indepen denee, but they did desire a recognition by the Powers. He asserted that there can be no ba sis for negotiation so long as the Confederates are treated as rebels. When they are treated as a belligerent power then the morning of peace will dawn as the Confederates will be in flexible only on points of independence and honor.

The Richmond Whig in commenting on the message of Davis, says : "We are two people from this time forward. We are aware that the Yankees are determined not to quit us, happen what may. If they can not conquer us their calculation is that they will be conquered by us, and they have made up their minds to submit tamely to their fate. Well, if we must, we must, though we shall have a great aversion to the task. Our choice is, that after drubbing them soundly and mak ing them pay the expense of the war, to turn them loose upon themselves, a prey to their own vile passions." . The Richmond papers of Wednesday contain dispatches from the confederate army, the sub stance of which is as follows : " The small pox, a violent type of typhoid fever and the black measels were prevailing among the confederate troops near Bowling I Green, Ky., and large numbers were dying daily." Gen. Floyd's army has fallen back four miles south of Raleigh, C. IL, and the federal troops liad been largely reinforced. Gen. Lee's command has retired to Meadow Bluff.

In Savannah the panic is even more general and decided, whole neighborhoods having been suddenly left deserted by the exodus of the wives and children of those who are in arms at Fort Pulaski and the batteries on the SaVan nah river. FROM FORTRESS MONROE. A Rebel Rebel Battery on the James River Silenced. The Old Point boat brings but little news. About midnight on Friday the gunboat Cam bridge proceeded up James river as far as War wick and engaged a rebel battery. No particu lars transpired further than that the rebel battery replied with spirit, but was finally si lenced. The Cambridge is said to have receiv ed one shot, but received no particular damage. An Escaped Prisoner's Story. . Dr. Stephen Hagadon, of Bath, New York, who was captured by the rebels, at Bull Run, has escaped and returned home. A correspon dent of the Rochester Democrat, tells this story : "Dr. Hagadon went to Bull Rtin to look af ter a son who was a private in the Second Wis consin volunteers. He was taken about mid way between Bull Run and Centreville. He saw that he was cut off and must be taken and raised a white handkerchief upon an umbrella to prevent being shot. A rebel horseman came up and demanded where he was from, and on learning that he was a civilian from New York, exclaimed : "D—n you, what busines:s have you to raise a flag of truce," and levelling his pistol, said: "I've a great mind to shoot you." Finally, Dr. klagadorn was ordered to mount behind the rebel, and in attempting to do so from the level ground, lost his hat, which he was not allowed to pick up. While trying to mount, the savage struck backwards with his sword, cutting a gash in Dr. Hagadorn's fore head which bleed freely. A footman handed him his hat and Dr. Haaadorn rode in this way Ini-a-abert distance. when he was set down and marched, par of the time upon a run, to Ma nassas, where they arrived at about ten o'clock at night. He met Mr. Ely there, but he saw but little of him until after their arrival at Richmond. "He reports that quite a number of the sol diers have died, but all are now in better health since the weather became cooler. Their condi- tion in some respects is miserable. Vermin in feat prisons, and the person cannot be kept clear of them. Many are without shirts, while their other garments scarcely cover their per sons. Those who have money are at liberty to provide extra clothing and food for themselves. Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad. A paragraph having appeared in a recent number of the Cincinnati Gazette intimating that the Pennsylvania Railroad had obtained complete control of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, Mr: - Cass, President of the latter line, publishes a card in which he gives the statement a flat contradiction. The management of this road is wholly independent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, except ing so far as she has, like any other stockhold er, the - right to vote for a Board of Directors. The whole number of shares of capital is 124,- 1661, of which that company h01d516,330 shares or about thirteen per cent These two roads are one,- in binding together the Atlantic coast with the valleys of Lakes and Mississippi, and hi business and social relations, are essential to each other; but each is wholly independent of the other in its practical measurement. More Murders in Western Virginia. The Wheeling papers report two most atro cious murders near Weston, Lewis county, _Va., the victims being peaceable Union men, and the perpetrators marauding rebels. On the night of the 30th of October, a secession des perado nained Wm. G. Pierson, in company with Enoch Cunningham and Christian Simons, went to the house of a Union man named Wm. Brake, and, after seizing him, told him they had been sent by Gen. Rosecrans to arrest him, took him about a mile from his house and shot him down, after which they rifled his pockets of about $2OO, and left his body lying in the woods. The fiends then went up the river four miles further and called out George Blair, an old man seventy-two years of age, and shot him also. The murderers are still at large, prowling about the neighborhood, the dread and terror of the whole community. Governor Pierpont has of fered a reward of $3OO for the apprehension of the murderers. FRANCE FOE THE UNION.—Says the Baltimore Patriot :—Wre learn that the son of a distin guished citizen of Baltimore, in the French may, writes to his father that the French Min isters at a recent meeting voted unanimously not to recognize the independence of the South ern Confederacy. He also stated that he knew of private individuals in France who would lend the United. States Government $50,000,000 if it was needed. The feeling was general in fa vor of standing by the old Union, and give her funds to its support. France was always true to the United States and always will be. JEWISH BIBLE SOCIETY.—An interesting move ment is in progress among the Jews in London. They have formed an "Association for the Dif fusion of Religious Knowledge," with a view of translating the Old Testament from Hebrew in to English, circulating Hebrew Bibles at a low rate, and of having Bible-readers visit the houses of the poor, and thus seek to extend the knowledge of divine truth. Verily, it seems as if the way was preparing for.e shaking in the valley of vision. $025 1 00 2 00 3 00 5 00 8 00 BALTMORD, Nov. 24
