Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, Grad

States, and the greater part of whose life has been spent
In the hospitals of London, Paris, Philadelphia and else
where, has Created some of the most astonishing oures
that were ever known; many troubled with ringing in
the bead and ears when asleep, great nervousness, being
alarmed at sudden sounds, bashfulness, with frequent
blushing. attended sometimes with derangement Oralthd
were cured immediately.
Take Particular Notice
Dr. J. addresses all those whohaveiniured themselves
by improper indulge ~ce tied solitary habits, which rule
both body and mind, unfitting them for either business,
study, society or marri age.
These are some or the sad and. melancholly effects pro•
ducad by early habits of youth, viz : We tkness of the
BACK and Limbs, Pains in the Head, Dimness bf Sight,
Lose of Musiular Power, Palpitation of the heart, Dys
pepsy, Nervous Irratibil ty, Derangement of thabgestive

to be dreaded—Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas De..
pressmen of Spirits, Evil Forbodings, Avers on to Society,
Sod astrust, I ove of Solitude, Timidity, &c., aro some of
the evils produced.
THOUIRVIDS of persons of all ages can now judge what
is the cause of their declining health, losing their vigor,
becoming weak, pale, nervous and emaciated, having a
singular appearance about the eyes, cough and symptoms
of eonsumption
Young Men
Who have injured themselves by a certain practice in
dulged in when alone, a habit frequently learned from
evil companions, or at school, the effects of which are
nightly felt, even when asleep, and if Rot cured renders
marriage Impossible, and destroys both mind and body,
snould apply immediately.
Whit a pity that a young man, the hope of he coun
try, the darling of his parents, should be snatched Iran
all prospects knd enjoyments of life, by the con. equence
of deviating from the path of nature and indulging in a
certain secret habit. Such persons WS; before &intern.
plating
Marriage,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most neces
sary requh nes to promote connubial happiness. Indeed,
without these, the journey through life becomes a weary
pilgrimage ; the prospect hourly darkens to the view ;
the mind becomes shadowed with despair and Oiled with
the melancholly refl akin that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with our own.
Disease of Imprudence.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure
finds that he has imbibed the seeds of this painful die
ease, it too often hapens that au tll-timed sense of shame
or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those
who, from education and respectability, can atone be:
friend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms on
this borr d disease make their appearance, such as ul
cerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pains in
the head and limbs, dimness of sight, dealness, nodes on
the shin bones and arms, blotches on the hmd, face and
extremities, progressing with frightful rapidity, tilt at
last the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
la, and the victim of this awful disease become a horrid
°lipid of commiseration, till death pats a period to his
dreadful sufferings, by sending him to "that Urdiscov
vered Country from whence no traveler returns."
It is a melancho/Iy fact that thousands fall victims to
this terrible disease, owing to the unskilfullness of Igho
'ant pretenders, who by the use of that Deadly Poison,
Mercury, ruin the constitution and make the residue o
life miserable.

Letters from Port Royal, by the steamer At
lantic, report that the accession of the negro
pilot, Small, who ran away from Charleston
with the rebel tug boat, is deemed more impor
tant than the heavy guns she contained, as
Small is thoroughly acquainted with all the
intricacies of the navigation in that region.
Gen. Hunter's proclamation had been pub
lished in Charleston, and a negro insurrection
was imminent.
Vast preparations are making to bombard
Savannah. Our gunboats have proceeded up
the river, and our pickets are within four miles
of Savannah. Massive batteries, mounting Par
rott guns, have been erected all around the
city. Our troops have a portion of the railroad
between Charleston and Savannah, in their
possession.
A negro regiment is being organized by Gen,
Hunter, its officers being selected from the
Massachusetts regiment. The movement meets
with favor, as they will be able to perform du
ties which will relieve our troops.
The following is an official copy of the free
papers issued to the blacks by Gmeral Hunter,

deed of emancipation reads as follows:
"It having been proven to the entire satis

The Recent Gunboat Action on the
Mississippi.
Official Dispatch from Flag Officer Davis
I==l
WAEHMITON, May 17
Since yesterday eight or ten fugitive slaves
have been returned to their claimants. It is
estimated that there were in Washington re
cently about a thousand slaves, principally from
Prince George county, Maryland, adjoining this
District. At lest forty slaveholders from that
county were at the court house to-day, filing
their petitions for the reclamation of the runa
ways. In some cases as many as twenty-one
are claimed by a single person. In several
instances, after the court had issued the neces
sary writs, the marshall and his deputies were
unable to find the fugitives, who having by
tome means been informed of the judicial pro
cess, removed beyond the reach of arrest.
The following report from Capt. Davis, com
manding the Mississippi flotilla, pro tem., was
received this morning at the Navy Depart
ment :
I:7:4ITED STATES FLAG STEAMER BENTON,
Off Fort Pillow, May 11, 1862.
Han. Gideon Welles, Secretary of Navy,
Silt :—I have the honor to inform the De
partment that yesterday morning, a little after
nine o'clock, the rebel squadron, consisting of
eight war clad steamers, four of which came
around the point at the bend above Fort Pillow,
and steamed gallantly up the river, fully pre
pared for a regular engagement. The vessels
of this squadron were lying at the time tied up
to the bank of the river, three on the eastern
and four on the western side, and as they were
transferred to me by Flag Officer Foote ready
fur action, most of the vessels were prompt iu
obeying the signal to follow the motions or the
commander-fu-chief.
The leading vessels of the rebel equadron
made directly for mortar boat No. 111, which
was for the moment unprotected. Acting
Master Gregory and his crew behaved wit/a
great spirit during the action, he fired his mor
tar elevou tunes at the enemy, ieducieg the
charge and diminishing the elevation.
Commander Stemble on the gunboat Cincin
oath'', which was the leading vessel in the line
on that of the river, followed immediately by
Commander Kelty in the gunboat Mound City,
hastened to the support of the mortar boats,
and were repeatedly struck by the enemy's
rams, and at the same time that they disabled
the enemy and drove him away, the two
leading vessels on the enemy's lines were
successfully encountered by this ship. The
boilers or steam chest of one of them exploded
by our shot and both of them were disabled.—
They, as well as the first naval vessels encoun
tered by the Cincinnati, drifted down the river.
Commander Walker informs me that he fired
a BO pound shot through the boilers of the third
of the enemy's gunboats, on the western line,
and rendere,i her, for the time being, helpless.
The action lasted during the better part oi an
hour and took place at the closest quarters.
The enemy finally retreated with haste under
the guns of Fort Pillow.
I have to call the especial attention of the War
Department to th gallantry and good conduct
exbtbited by Commanders Storable and Kelm
and Lieut. Commanding S. L. Phelps.
I regret to say - that Commander Stemble,
Fourth Master Reynolds and one of the seamen
of the Cincinnati and one of the Mound City,
were severely wounded. The other accidents
of the day were slight.
I have the honor to be,
Very Respectfully,
