Dr. Johnson,
Member of the Royal College of burgeons, London, Grad
uate from oue of the most eminent Colleges in the United
States, and the greater part of whose bte has been spent
in the hospitals of London, Paris, Philadelphia and else
where, has effected some of tile caest, astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ringing in
the heed and core when asleep, great nervousness, being
alarmed at sudden bounds, bashfulness, with frequent
bleating, attended sometimes with derangement of mind
were cured immediately.
Take Particular Notice
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured themselves
by improper indulgence and solitary habits, which ruin
both body and mind, unfitting them for either business,
study, soolety or marrLige.
'these are some of the sad and melaucholly effects pro
ducad by . early habits of youth, viz: Weakness of the
Back and Limbs, Pains in the Head, Dimness of Sight,
Lois of Macula Power,Palpitation of the heart, Lys
popsy Nervous lrratibtty, Derangement of the Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption,
die
MaWrALLY.—The fearful effects on the mind are much,
to be dreaded—Loss of Memory, Confusion of ideas , De
pression of Spirits, Evil Forbodings, Avers on to society,
Self Distrust, Love of fsolitude, Timidity, &c., are some of
ithe evils produced.
TROMANDS 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 eorutumption.
Young Men
Who have injured themselves by a certain practice In
dnlged 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 not cured renders
marriage impossible, and destroys both mind and body,
should apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of hie coun
try, the darling of his parents, should be snatched trout
all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequence
of deviating from the path of nature and indulging in a
certain secret habit. Such persons MUST, belore contem
plating
Mairiagt4
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most neces
sary requisites 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 filled with
the melancholly red , thou that the happiness of another
becomee blighted with our own,
Disease of Imprudence.
When the mugualed and imprudent votary of pleasure
finds that he has imbibed the seeds of tine painful dis
ease, it too often hapens that an tli-timed sense of shame
or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those
who, from eimation and respectability, can alone be
friend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms oa
this horr d (hawse make their appearance, such as ul
cerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pains in
the head and limbs, dullness of sight, deafness, nodes on
the shin bones and arms, blotches on the h fad, face and
extremities, progressing with frightful rapidity, till at
last the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fail
is, and the victim of this awful disease become a horrid
object of commiseration, till death puts a period to his
dreadful sufferings, by sending him to that UrdiseoV
vered Country from whence no traveler returns."
It is a ree/anchoily fact that thousands fill victims to
this terrible disease, owing to the unskilfullness of igno
rant Pretenders, who by the use of that Deadly Poison,
mercury, ruin the constitution and make the residue o
lee miserable.
Strangers.
Trust not your lives, or health, to the care of the many
Unlearned and Worthiest Pretenders, destitute of know
ledge, name or character, who copy Dr. Johnson's &dyer
vertisemente, or style themselves in the newspapers,
regularly Educated physicians incapable of Curing, they
keep you trifling month after mouth taking their filthy
and poisonous'' , es compounds, or as long as the smallest
fee can be obtained, and in deepen., leave you with ruin
ed health to sigh over your galling disappointment.

XXXVIIth Congress—First Session.
VETO BY THE PRESIDENT.
Mr. HARRIS, (N. Y ,) presented several peti
tions from citizens of New York, asking for
the immediate passage of a general bankrupt
act.
Mr. WRIGHT ("Ind.,) offered a resolution that
the Judiciary bommittee be instructed to in
quire into the statements,, evidences, &c., in
the reports of Joseph Holt and Robert Hale, in
regard to certain contracts to furnish arms to
the Government and inquire what legislation
is necessary to punish Senators and Representa
tives who shall lend their official influence to
procure contracts, and who shall accept, di
rectly or indirectly, any' money or other re
ward or compensation either certain or contin
gent. Adopted.
Mr. Gunn, (lowa,) moved to take up the
bill authorizing the Government to accept of
League Island, in the Delaware river, for naval
purposes.
The confiscation bill WM taken up.
Mr. Sallower, (Del.,) said history would
hand down to the, future with execration and
condemnation many acts of the present day.
An arbitrary and despotic power now not eats
fled with trampling on every constitutional
right of citizens; has dared profanely to en
ler the temple of justice and drag her
ministers from the altar. He who thus
invades a court of justice proves him•
self a tyrant, capable) of any assault on the
liberties of the people, under the pretence of
suppressing a causeless rebellion. The Execu
tive Department of this Government, in his
judgement were daily engaged in the grossest
violation of the fundamental law. Who are
they who are thus murdering civil liberty?
Those in the pretence of philanthrophy,
have played the country into all ' the
horrors of a civil war and now evince
sincerity by shouting loyalty, while en
gaged in destroying the liberties of the
people, and even go so far as to dare to impeach
the loyalty of those men who stand by the
Constitution. He said it was his deliberate and
solemn conviction that either abolitionism or
constitutional liberty mast die forever, the two
cannot exist together- Abolitionism has for
the time being dissolved the Union and while
it lives it will remain dissolved. No free peo
ple either will or our ought to submit to its
sway. It has been the author of all our politi
cal woes. Congress passed a resolution that the
only object of the war was to suppress the re
bellion, and nothing else, and the loyal peo
ple of the border States took heart and cour
age. How has Congress kept this pledge ?
They abolished-slavery in the District of Colum
bia, and established a paradise for free negroes
from Delaware and Maryland, where they were
supported by taxing white men. They are paying
negro teamsters thirty dollars per montn, while
our white soldiers are working at thirteen dol
lars per month ! They have legalized negro
testimony, and established diplomatic relations
with Hayti and. Liberia! The council chamber
of the nation has been turned into a house of
wailing for the wrongs of the negro. He con
tended that the present war was not merely an
1 insurrection or a rebellion, but a great revolu
tion. The passage of this bill will only tend
to prolong the war and make the separation
complete.
The VICE. PRESIDENT here laid before the Sen
ate a message from the President, returning
the bill authorizing the issue of small notes in
the District of Columbia, without his signature,
as follows :
To the Senate of the United ,Slates: The bill
which has passed the House of Represents
tives and Senate, entitled an act to repeal that
part of an act of Congress which prohibits
the circulation of bank notes of a less denomi
nation than five dollars in the District of Col
umbia has received my attentive considera
tion, and I now return it to the
Senate in which it originated. The bill
propOses to repeal the existing legislation
prohibiting the circulation of bank notes of a
less denomination than five dollars within the
District of Columbia, without permitting. the
issuing of such bills y banks not now legally
authorized to issue them. In my judgment it
will be found impracticable in the present con
dition of the currency to make such a discrimi
nation. The banks have generally suspended
specie payment, and a legal sanction given to
the circulation of the irredeemable notes of one
class of them, will almost certainly be so ex
tended in practical operation as to include those
of all classes, whether authorized or unauthor
ized. If this view be correct, the currency of
the District, should this act become a law, will
certainly and greatly deterioriate to the serious
injury of honest trade and honest labor
RAILROAD,
Second. This bill seems to contemplate no
end which cannot othefivise be more certainly
and beneficially attained. Durinwthe existing
war it is peculiarly the duty of the National
Government to secure to the people a sound,
circulating medium. This duty has been
under existing circumstances satisfactorily (per
formed in past, at least,by authorizing tbe issue
of U. S. notes receiveble for all government
dues except customs, and made a legal ten
der for all debts, public and private, except
interest on the public debt. The object,of
this bill submitted to me, namely, that of pro
viding a small note currency during the
present suspension ; can be fully accom
plished by authorizing the issue as 'part of
the new emission of United States notes,
necessary by the circumstances of the country,
of notes of a similar character, but of a less ,
denomination than five dollars. Such an issue
would answer all the beneficial pupoises of the
bill ,would save a considerable amount to the
treasury, would greatly facilitate the payment
to soldiers and other creditors of small sums,
and would furnish to the people a currency as
safe as their own government.
Entertaining these objections to the bill, I
feel myself constrained to withhold from it my
approval, and return it for the further consid
eration and action of Congress.
(Signed) ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Wasiusoros, June 23, 1862.
Mr. HOWABD, (Mich.,) was earnestly in
favor of the passage of the bill from tbe
house, and as earnestly opposed to the passage
of the bill as reported by the special committee,
as he thought the latter, in many of its pro
visions, was entirely without the support of
the Constitution. In the first place, itmitigates
the punishment of treason. Treason has al
ways been regarded as the most heinodb of
crimes, and he did not think it proper to re-

duce such an offence down to an equality with
petty larceny. Again, the bill from the special
committee seizes the property of every rebel
of every class, whether a ringleader or a person
forced into the rebel army without any
distinction. It also provides for the criminal
prosecution in a court not according to the pro
ceedings presented by the Constitution, dis
pensing with the jury, and with the right of
of persons to be present at the trial, and
taking away his property—contrary to the
due process of law prescribed by the Con
stitution. He argued at •some length and
quoted from various authorities to show that
the due process of law prescribed by the Con
stitution required a trial by jury and the pre
sence of the party in court to answer the
charge againQt him before he could be con
demned or published.
Senate adjourned.

THE LATE BATTLE NEAR SECESSIONVILLE,
Accounts from Charleston Papers,
[From the Charleston Courier, lune 16.1
The enemy have erected a battery of three
rifled Parrott guns near Rivers' plantation, and
about eight hundred yards from Col. Lamar's
battery, at Secessionville. While the battery
was in course of erection the men were hidden
from view, and protected by a large clump of
woods in front. On Saturday they suddenly
cleared the wood off frem the battery and
opened fire. Several shots were fired at Col.
Lamar's battery, and several at gunboat No.
2, having on board Matthews artillery. Our
battery and the gunboat replied with telling
effect. Col. Lamar made some excellent shoot
ing•
We have learned of but one casualty. Pri
vate John H. Andrews, of the charleston Light
Infantry, Captain Thomas Y. Simon's com
pany, was instantly killed in his tent, abut six
o'clock Saturday afternoon. While reclining
in the tent, and reading, a shell ricochetted
entered, exploded, tearing the tent to pieces,
and a largo fragment struck young Andrews on
the right side of his head. His body was
brought to the city on Sunday morning, in charge
of a comrade, on board the steamer Gen. Clutch
and delivered over to his relatives. His was a
yonng man and had just reached his maturity,
being twenty-one years of age only a few days
previoue to his death.
Both parties were again engaged inlshelling
Sunday afternoon, but with what result we
were unable to ascertain. It is reported that
two men were slightly wounded. There was
no infantry fighting.
[From the Charleston Mercury, June 17.]
A little before noon yesterday our city was
thrown into a state of feverish excitement by
the vague tidings that there had been bloody
work at Secessionville, on James Island. From
the fiat the news was of au encouraging char
acter, inasmuch as we were assured that a mere
handful of our brave troops had repulsed a
heavy column of the enemy thrown forward to
assault the battery at Secessionville, manned
by a portion of Col. Lamar's regiment of artil
lery, South Carolina Volunteers. From the
various accounts which we have received, we
bave collated the following facts in relation to
the battle :
THE ADVANCE Of ME ENEMY.
About dawn yesterday morning our pickets in
front of Lamar's battery were driven in, and
almost simultaneously the enemy's column was
seen some four hundred yards off, advancing
with the bayonet, at double quick, to the as
sault. Our troops within the battery had been
hard at work the evening before in throwing up
another battery, and were about worn out with
fatigue. The first round that was fired at the
Yankees was by Colonel T. G. Lamar himself.
His men hastened with alacrity to their pieces,
and were soon pouring grape and canister
against the rapidly approaching enemy. At
each discharge great gaps were visible in the
Yankee ranks, but still they came on without
firing a single volley. It was afterwards ascer
tained that their muskets were empty, and
that they had actually hoped to carry the bat
tery with the bayonet alone. But the rapid
and fearful cannonade and fusilade kept up
against them . was too severe for their nerves,
and when close to our intrenchments they
wavered, reeled and finally fled in disorder.
SECOND AND TREED CHARGES
But a very short time elapsed before the ene
my's column, reinforced by infantry and artil
ery, reformed and again came forward. This
time they did notdisdain the use of cartridges,
but poured heavy volleys against our battery
as they advanced. But again the terrible dis
charges of grape and canister mowed down the
approaching line, and notwithstanding the re
monstiances of their officers, again the Yan
kees broke and retreated pellmell from the
field. A third time the enemy formed his line
and advanced in a last desperate effort to gain
the battery, but again in vain. The assailants
had reached the ditch, and some of them suc
ceeded in mounting the embankment, 'but they
paid for their rashness with their lives, and
their comrades behind taking warning by their
fate, fled oucemore—this time not to be rallied
to a direct charge. Our men all bear witness
to the obstinate bravery of the enemy on this
occasion.
Between the charges which proved so disas
trous to the Yankees, a galling fire was kept
up against our battery from three gun-boats
in the creek, about 1,700 yards east of our
position. A cross fire was also steadily main
tained against us from the land batteries which
the enemy had erected—one on the edge of
the wood in which the fight with the Fourty-

seventh Georgia regiment occurred last week,
and another between that point and the posi
tion occupied by the gunboats. Sherman's
famous field battery also took part in the en
gagement, being divided into two sections,
which played upon different parts of our works.
It had now become evident to the enemy
that the men who held our battery had no idea
of yielding it, and the plan of attack was given
up.
Flanking bodies were thrown forward to as
sault our works from the direction of the
marshes which skirted our battery on either
side. On the east side of the battery the
movement was speedily frustrated, and the few
bold men who ventured close enough to pour
their fire into the post soon feel. No less than
seventeen were killed outside the ditch, and
one who had mounted the parapet fell on the
top, pierced by eight balls. •
FLANK ATTACK ON THE NEW YORK SEVERE-NINTH
On the west side of the battery the attack
was more serious. The famous New York
Seventy-ninth regiment rook up a position so
as to enfilade our guns, and keep up a constant
and effective fire of musketry to drive off our
gunners. They were met by the Charleston
battallion and a the Eutaw regiment. For a
time the fight was desperate, but the Louisiana
battallion, under Lieut. Col. McHenry, came
up at the critical moment in gallant style, and
the repulse of the Highlanders were no longer
doubtful. The enemy was, for the last time,
forced back with great slaughter, and the day
was one.
The list of casualties is given by the Mercury.
Among them in the name of Colonel Lamar, of
the battery, who was wounded, but continued
to fight with his guns. Capt. Samuel J. Reed,
Lieut. Humbert, Lieut. J. J. Edwards and
Lieut. R. W. Greer are athong the officers
killed, and Capt. J. C. King was mortally
wounded.
Our total loss, as nearly as we can ascertain,
was about forty killed and one hundred wounded.
The enemy's was far heavier. We buried, yes
terday, one hundred and forty dead Yankees
left upon the field. We say Yankees, using
the designation as one common to the whole
army of invaders; but, in truth, the men who
did the fighting against us yesterday were
nearly all Europeans, and in the lineaments of
the dead the Scottish type was markedly pre
dominant. We captured seventy prisoners.—
As for the number of the enemy wounded no
correct essimate can be made, Glad to get rid
of the unwelcome task of caring for maimed
vandals, our men suffered the enemy's ambu
lances to approach within point blank range of
thei. guns, and to carry off the wounded, who
must have numbered three hundred at least.
[Telegram to the Petersburg, (Va.,) Express, June 18.]
Auckusra., June 17, 1862.—At seven o'clock
A. at., yesterday, a fight commenced on James
Island, four miles from Charleston, the enemy
advancing with five regiments to the assault
of our Secessionville battery with the bayonet.
Col. T. G. Lamar commanded the battery with
a few hundred of cur troops. He waited till
the enemy approached within close range, when
he opened with grape and musketry, literally
mowing down the advancing Yankee column.
The enemy replied and fled, but presently,
being reinforced by artillery, again formed and
charged, and were again repulsed with great
slaughter.
A third time they advanced, endeavoring to
flank our battery, but were again beaten back.
We then advanced form our works in pursuit,
killing and capturing many of the enemy. Our
loss is twelve killed and twenty wounded.
Charleston troops were principally engaged.
The enemy's loss has not yet been definitely
ascertained, but must have been several hun
dred in killed, wounded and prisoners. A batch
of thirty prisoners have just been brought to
this city.
Auousra, Jane 17, 1862.—The battle of yes
terday is pronounced by our Generals to have
been most desperate. Our loss is heavier than
at first reported, including several valuable
company officers.
A portion of the enemy's force fought gal
lantly. The 47th New York (Highlanders) as
saulted our battery with empty muskets, fought
gallantly and retired, leaving fifty dead in the
ditch. They succeeded in carrying off their
wounded.
The enemy's gunboats and land batteries co
operated in the attack:
The loss of the enemy is about four hundred
killed and wounded.
Our men were much wearied, having been
exposed to shelling night and day, for a week
past; but they fought desperately.
Colonel Turner was slightly wounded in the
neck. Capt. King and Lieut. Edwards, of the
Sumter Guards,
and Capt. Reid, of Tanner's
battalion, were killed.
It is expected that the attack will•soon be re
newed.
General Evans complimented Colonel Lamar
on the field.
