DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.—When the misguided

the seeds of this painful disease, it toe often happens that
an ill-Aimed 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 con

appearance, affecting the head, throat, nose, skin, see.,
progressing on with frightful rapidity, till death puts s
period to his dreadful sufferings by sending him to ' , that
bourne from whence so traveler returns.” It is a mel
ancholy fact that thousands fell victims to this terrible
disease, owing to the unskilfulness of ignorant pretend

TILE FINANCIAL OONDITION O.F PENN-
We are indebted to the Hon, Taos. E. Com-
BAN, Auditor-General, for an advance copy of
the receipts and 'expenditures of this State.
From the report it will at once be observed
that notwithstanding the extraordinary expen
ses incurred by the Rebellion, the State of Penn
sylvania has met heroliabilities promptly, and
has a large surplus on hand to meet the interest
on her public debt falling due on the first day
of February next. ,This result has mainly been
accomplished by the energy and industry of the
Auditor-General, who has labored night and
day, during the past summer, to husband and
collect the resources of this State together.
Large amounts of money have been collected
from corporations and other sources, which
were dile the State for a long time, but
which had been neglected by former Audi
tor Generals. We thank Mr. Connutur in the
name of of the tax-payers of this Common
wealth for his efficient management of her
financial affairs. Mr. CocriaAN has also been
materially assisted by the present efficient State
Treasurer, HENRY D. Mooae, Eq. 134 h De
partments have labored constantly and faith
fully for maintaining the credit of this State at
home and abroad. The business of these two
Departments have been more laborious during
the past summer than they have been since the
organization of the State. Hundreds of bills
created by the rebellion have been closely scru •
tinized by these Departments, and having fre
quently observed the labors performed by the
heads and clerks of both Departments, we can
truly remark that these places have never been
filled by ml_re trustworthy agents, and the fig
ures given below will confirm this statement:

registered in the several parts of the Union dur
ing the year ending with September last was
4,517, of whom 147 were naturalized.
The War Department in reply to a resolution
of the House says that Col. Lyncrs believed to

in the suspicion of complicity in the offence of
surrendering Fort Fillmore to an inferior force
of Texans and that he has, for that act, been
dismissed from the service.

CONCLIIIION OF IM3TERDAY'S PHOCEEDOOS.I
Mr. SIINNEII, (Mass.,) gave notice of his inten
tion to introduce a bill to satisfy the claims for
French spoilations.
A communication was received from the U.
S. Marshall for the District of Columbia, in re
ply to the resolution iu regard to the slaves con
fined in the jail at Washington. he said Olivet'
had been so confined in consequence of au ()id
and uniform custom here, v.l.Lich he had sup
posed was according to law, but lie had not made
an investigation of the subject.
A communication was received from the Fre-
Sideut, transmitting the proceedings of . the
court of inquiry iu case of Cul. MiLes. Referred
to s ecial committee.
Mr. TRUMBULL, (111.,) called up the resolution
asking the Se,rentry ul State ii persons had been
arrested in the loyal States, and by what au
thority.
Mr. DIXON (Con.) opposed the resolution.
He thought it best nut to go into au in
vestigation of such questions iu times like areas
when the very safety of the coutury is threat
ened. The tinue h..d passsed by when the
al ominable rebellion could be urn/shed b) mild
means. He would wake no discrinstuation; be
tween the property of rebels. A great dean stud
been said about the opinions ut cusetvaiive
Well. He had ()cession to know something
...bunt such opinions, and knew that they were
tur using auy means to suepiess the rebellion.
Mr. IRUMBULL Sala he wltS as eager as airy
one to crook toe rebellion but would not waste
the power of the CloVeru,oent lu allesUng per-
One. 111 the loyal oiates. It, would he tieur to
strike W 1 th the power of six hundred thouealiti
men aka crush the lehelllvu Lu the earth., It
secibeil io him to oe the very essence of ;les
pocieuu if lath can be arrested by telegraph
without the power of reply or trial. YVtuat

we willing to trust the liberty of our ettizeus lil
the hauds of any ohe mau, nu matter who?
the people are engaged in the ilelense of don
stitutional Liberty Bird the Constitution as .a.,ur
iure:Lathers made it. That Cousilludou is 11 . 14). d
enough without auy Violation of it. He Ltioio o tit
nu harm could come out of the resolution. If
the reply oi the heeietary sliuWeil that Lae ',ar
r,olt, had been made cud Lliere Was no BUtliutity
tor them, but that they suit w re Luce:Nary,
should it blot be better Lu make a law to eifeerr

After a lengthy debate Mr Trumbull's resola-
tiou was retuned to the Uoutuuttco on. tue Ju
diciary. Adjourued.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Vera teDIGEL&M (Ohio) iutroduced the fol
owing
Wimasas, The Secretary of the Navy has re
ported to this 4 l.uU4e that Capt. Ulla/les Wilkes

mil. on. the high seas intercept hb Trent, a
British Irian _
therefrom James Al. Lasun and 'Juli ' Slidell,
disloyal citizens, leading conspirators, 'Witt eue-
Lutes and dangerous men , who, with tt.ear suite
were uu their way to Edrupe to promote the Cathie
of the insurrection, Maiming io be ambassador
truth the so-called Confederate buttes; And 41 4 9- i
as,The secretary of the Navy has Wallet repo
to this house tent the prompt and decisive act
ion of Capt. Wilkes on tins occasion, merited
and received the emphatic approval of the De
partment, and moreover, in a kaltdiC letter teas
thanked Capt. Wilkes for the act ; And udis, eat,
this House on the first day of the session did
propose to tender the thanks of Congress to Capt.
Wilkes for his brave, adroit and patriotic conduct
in the arrest anti detention of the traitorsJaUleil
Al. Masotti and John hildeil ; And whereas,
Further, on. the same day this House did re
quest the President to confine the said James
.41.. Mason and Juhu Slidell in. the cells of con-
noted felluus until certain mihtary officers of the
United States, euhtiued and heid. b. l , the au called
Confederate States, should be treated as pfison
efs of War; therefore,
Be it &solved, as a sense of this House,
that it is the duty of the hesident to more
rirmiy maintain the stand thus taken, ap
droving and adopting the act of Capt. Wilkes,
in spite of any u.enace or demand or the British
tkuvernment, and that this House pledge its full
.uppurt to 14w iu upttuldaig now the honor and
vindicating - the coinage of the Uoverotueutand
the p uple Of the United states agrtinst, a foretgn

VAILANDIGEIAM, (Ohio,) moved the pre
vious question. flies had heard the first growl
of the British lion. It remained to be semi who
would cower. The House refused to sLeond the
dem aid for the previous question.
Kr. FENT,N moved that h, be referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs The motion was
~greed to 109 yeas, against 16 nays.
The House resumed the consideration of the
Dill authorizing the raising of a volunteer force
tor the better uefeuee Kentucky.
Kr. .LoviJot (111.) hoped that it would not
kisss. At:Coaling Lu utncial leluruS we have a
standing army of between six and seven hun-
dyed th 011641111 men, which is atuply d i,tfieient
ter the war. We have inure Isultheis new than
eau be used, therefore die raising of twenty
tuousaun voluuweis tor twelve months instead
for the war, should Hut be authorized lie
dui not understand Luau the military lll , llth hied
uad asked for this increase, besides he wit- Op
posed to the mode or raising the men and ail
.ering diem.
Air. IticummsoN trusted that the bill would
ddbe. The vutuutente proposed to be raised in
Kentucky were ut the best kiud and faudlar
with the state. The base ut operations was at
Louisville and twenty thousand men were ne
..;essary to guard the base and the hue on which
our army is to advance.
Messrs. WICKLIFF and DUNLAP favored the
hill and Mr. 6T.Ve..NS, (Pa.,) opposed it as a
tuattsr of econmu).
MCESIS. BINGHAM, MAYNARD and Itionum, (Vt.)
seventily spoke iu favor of the bill.
Mr- BLAIR, (Mu ,) closed the debate. In re
ply to fir. Luvejt y he said we have the beet
ie.eon to believe teat we have nut men enough
m the field fur we have not been able to con
quer the enemy anywhere as yet and we have
out met him except when he outuumberd us.--
deuce we have not been able to drive back the
foe one foot.
Mr. LOVEJOY replied that the enemy will not
meet US unless when he is superior in number.
Mr. BLAIR. Then why should not our army
overrun the enemy.
Mr. LOVEJOY. Because we hive no Generals.
