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 /lines seeks to calm the dismay at the

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.
The confederates report two killed and several
captured in a skirmish during the past week in
Western Virginia.
The roads are in a bad condition, making it
difficult to obtain supplies. A dispatch from
Manassas in relation to the skirmish rear Falls
Church within the past T veek acknowledges two

"The Richmond Examiner of Wednesday con
firms the report that the rebel Col. Croghim
was killed in the recent engagement between
Floyd and Rosecrans."
A dispatch from Charleston, dated November
17th, says the unexpected failure of our short
batteries at Bay Point and Hilton Head to de
molish at least one of the attacking vessels has
sadly shaken the popular confidence in the effi
cacy of our guns against the monster frigates
and iron clad gunboats which they may have
again to encounter, and now so alarmed aro.
many'of the sordid souls that infest all South
ern cities, that the effect may already be seen
in the lengthening of the freight trains which
leave almost hourly for the interior.
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.
