THE CAUSES of PREMATURE DECAY.--
1_ Authors of eminence have ascribed the decline of the
Roman empire to the effeminacy of manners, which precluded
resistance ; and this effeminacy they trace chiefly to vicious
habits acquired in early life, by which, in our own time, an
influential journalist has endeavoured to account for the de-
cline of population in the Asiatic provinces of Turkey.
The peculiar source of physical and moral degeneracy al-
luded to has at all times been specially deprecated by philo-
sophers and philanthropists. It besets inexperienced youth,
laying the foundation of future misery, poisoning the nuptial
cup with bitter malignity.destroying health, curtailing life,
and making it, during its brief career, a scene of anguish, from
the consciousness of humiliating infirmity.
The evil is but too rife in our age and countryexpe-
rience can often discern the sad results in the
early daaths,
the hereditary and perpetuated ailment 4, and the matri-
monial discords and sandals, described, in convential par-
lance, as " unaccountable " and "mysterious." In cases of
threatened injury to or suspension of faculties whose sound-
ness and vigour form su h a prominent constituent in human
happiness, sufferers may have their fears removed, the mis-
chief, however severe and inveterate, eradicated, and their
warmest hopes of restoration to life's prerogatives fully
realised _ _

Dr. L A 'MERT, M.D., has been eimaesed for 20 years in the
treatment of these disorders, and his treatise on "Self-Pre-
servation " describes how all the attributes of Manhood are
lost or suspended, and how they can be restored and main-
tained in health and vie-our to an advanced period of life.

" The movement against the Confederates was
made by a combined land and naval force, which
left Hilton Head at eleven o'clock on the night of
the 21st inst. The special design was to destroy
the trestle work bridges of the Charleston and
and Savannah Railroad crossing the Pocotaligo,
Tulipimy, and Coosawatchie. These streams are
all tributaries of the Broad River, and to approach
them it was determined to make a landing at Mac-
kay's Point. At the junction of the Broad and
Pocotaligo Rivers, a distance of 25 miles from Hil-
ton Head, where the Federal troops could be de-
barked under cover of gunboats, and a march of 11
miles would take them to the village of Pocotaligo,
at which place it was supposed the enemy would
make a stand. The attack was intended as a sur-
prise, and while the Federal main force was to ad-
vance, a smaller body of troops, commanded by Col.
Barton of the 48th New York Volunteers, was to
create a diversion by penetrating to the Coosawat-
chie Bridge, in the steamer Planter, convoyed by the
gunboat Patroon, but with imperative orders to re-
tire should they encounter a superior force. By
cutting the railroad in the manner proposed, com-
munication between the cities of Savannah and
Charleston would be destroyed, and the way opened
for a sudden blow upon one or both of these places,
at the discretion of the commanding general.
" The troops were landed at Mackay's Point on
Wednesday morning, and immediately marched
towards the village of Pocotaligo. For the first
seven miles no enemy was encountered. The
road alternated through dense woods and through
marshes only passable over a narrow causeway,
save at one or two points. Choosing a position at
the opposite end of this causeway, the enemy opened
a furious fire of shell and canister on the advancing
column, which was promptly met by the battery
under Lieut. Henry. Immediately the order wee
given by Gen. Brannan for his brigade to form line
of battle, the centre resting on the causeway. After
a brisk fire of both musketry and artillery the enemy
retired to the dense wood in rear, tearing up the
causeway bridge, which delayed the advance of the
Federal artillery until it could be repaired. Mean-
while the lst brigade pressed on to the woods,
which they penetrated, driving the enemy before
them, and closely followed by the 2d brigade, under
Gen. Terry, who came up with a cheer and were
quickly in the engagement. Here the fight, it may
be said, fairly commenced, the enemy's sharp-
shooters picking off our men rapidly. The artillery
fire from our side was not slackened while the
bridge was being repaired, and it was not long be-
fore the batteries went forward to the work in sup-
port of the infantry.
" The action began between twelve and one, and
lasted about an hour, ending in the retreat of the
Confederates to another position at Frampton's plan-
tation, which lies two miles beyond. The enemy
was closely followed, and, after a fight more hotly
contested than the first, the Federal troops were
again victorious, driving the Contederates from their
well-chosen position and two miles beyond, which
brought them up to Pocotaligo bridge—not the rail-
road bridge—over which they crossed, taking shel-

:er behind earthworks on the farthest side.

"To this point the Federal troops nearly ap-
proached, but found further progress impossible, the
bridge had been cut by the enemy on his retreat.
Although these events are thus briefly noted, it re-
quired five hours of impetuous and gallant fighting

to accomplish them.
" While these events were taking place on either
side between the main forces, Col. Barton, of the
48th New York Regiment, with 300 of his own men
and 50 of the 3d Rhode Island Regiment, went up
the Coosawatchie River, convoyed by the Patroon,
to within two miles of the town of the same name.
Landing his force here, a march was made to the
village through which runs the railroad.
" Arrived there the Federals commenced tearing
up the rails, but had scarcely engaged in the work
when a long train of cars came from the direction
of Savannah, filled with troops. This train was
fired into by the Federal party, killing the engineer
and a number of others. Several soldiers jumped
from the cars while they were in motion, and were
wounded. One was taken prisoner, 30 muskets
were captured, and the colours of the Whippy
Swamp Guards taken from the colour bearer, who
was killed by the Federal fire. The work of tear-
ing up the rails was not accomplished in time to
prevent the onward progress of the train. The
Federals afterwards completed the job, cutting the
telegraph, and taking away a portion of the wire.
Col. Barton next attempted to reach the railroad
bridge, for the purpose of firing it, but was unable
as it was protected by a battery of three guns.
Fearing his retreat might be cut off by the enemy's
cavalry, he

The officers of the Royal Artillery yesterday en-
tertained at their mess dinner, at Woolwich, Col.
Gowan, the American Consul in the Crimea. Major-
Gen. Sir R. nacres, commanding the garrison ;
Col. Sir D. Wood, Royal Horse Brigade ; Col. Bing-
ham, Assist.-Adjt.-Gen., and the officers command-
inengt co
were also pre-
,arnp n
and testified
atesdtifidveidisntihoeisr at Woolwich
of the gallant
h
colonel's generous and humane exertions in restor-
ing and arresting the desecration of the graves of
their brother officers and friends in the cemetery at
Sebastopol.

The Royal Marine Artillery were yesterday offi-
cially inspected, at the close of the year, by Major-
Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., the General Officer
commanding the South-West District, at Fort
Cumberland, near Portsmouth, the head-quarters
of the corps. The Major-General was received
by the troops in line on the glacis of the fort with
the usual honours. After this they marched past in
quick time, formed close column, and deployed into
line on the leading division. The lined then retired,
wheeled forward from the left and formed square on
the leading division, finally reforming column and
line on No. 4. At the conclusion of these manoeu-
vres, which were very creditably performed, the
men were marched off the glacis to the practice
ground and batteries. The pivot gun battery and
the guns on the works were first inspected by his
lordship, and capital practice made at 2,000 yards,
the second shot from the first named carrying away
part of the floating target. The practice of the 40
pounder Armstrong (mounted on a siege carriage),
the 12 pounder Armstrongs (mounted on field car-
riages), and the rockets, 3,6, 12, and 24 pounders,
was most excellent. Other practice with the 8-inch
guns from the the ship broadside battery, and with
dead shell from the 10-inch mortar battery, termi-
nated the inspection, which throughout was very
satisfactory. The second shot from the broadside
battery, at 600 yards distance from the sand butt,
sent the target flying over the butt.
