JOHNSTON Dr. Johnson member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, graduate from one of the meet eminent Colleges sf the United states, and the greatest part of whose life nee been spent in the Hospitals of London, Paris, Phila delphia and elsewhere, has effected some of the most as tonishing cures that were ever know - n.

The. are some of the sad and melancholy ett•icts pro duce(' by early habits of youth, viz: Weakness of the Back thud Limbs, Pains in the Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Paipitation of the Heart, Dyip impala, Nervous Irritability, Derangement MIAs Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of ;encamp• Mon, Ito, MENTALLY tt.vrams, the fearful effects on the mind are much to Oa dreaded .:—Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas, De pression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings Aversion toSocie ty, Belf-distrast, Love el Solitude, Timidity, ate., are some of the evil effects.

TO STRANGERS The many thousands cured at this lunation within the last twelve years, and the numerous important Burgles operations performed by Dr. J., witnessed by the re porters of the papers, and many other persons, notices of which have appeared again and again before the public, besides his standing as a qeM/eman at character and re• vonteilav, is a sufficient guarantee to the afflicted.

Ou motion of Mr. LOVEJOY (Ill.) a resolution was adopted lost' ncting the Committee on Juoiciary to inquire into the expediency of re porting a bill making void all sales, transfers and deposits of property of every kind by per 4 sons engaged in insurrection against the United States. Other resolutions on a variety of subjects were introduced and referred. The EVuse, then in committee of the whole on the State of the Union, proceeded to the consideration of the bill making appropriaions for legislative, executive and judicial expenses. Mr. FESSENDEN (Maine,) spoke of the rebellion in the aspect, it presents itself to his constitu ents. It should be put down, and the govern ment as speedily as possible bring into opera tion its mighty machinery for this purpose. Now if, in the prosecution of hostilities, the slaves afford aid to the rebellion, was it not the part of wisdom to deprive the insurgents of the advantage. If slavery should be terminated by the war, it would be the greatest triumph mortal ever won over the greatest crime ever committed. Mr. WRIGHT remembered that he was re turned here as a representative by both politi cal patties, who agreed upon a common plat form. He was elected as a Union man, and as such be was ready to stand or fall. He was not an advocate of slavery, but was willing to take the Constitution as our fathers gave it to us. He was not one of those who would attempt to present any of its provisions or lay down a line of policy which would not cover all its guarantees. He was for maintain ing the war upon the sole issue on whit h it was inaugurated. Any member who would change this principle was not following rules of proprie ty which conscience, reason and judgment dic tate. The President in his inaugural stated the true grounds. It was not a war of conquest and subjugation but to put down rebellion and re spect the rights of property. If we hold t 3 this our government is sa!e, but if we make it a war of slavery emancipation, our govern ment is irretriveably gone. Mr. Lincoln has a patriotic heart and not only means well but acts well. Mr. Bowater, (Mich.,) made an explanation, remarking that in his recent speech he confined his proposition to the emancipation of slave held by the rebels, their eiders and abettors, but should now say that whenever, in his judg ment, it may become essential to common de fence to shiver every fetter, the power ought to be exercised. Mr. .DrvaN obtained the floor, when the com mittee arose and the House adjourned. MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH Cotton dull at 32®33c.
