23d 11z..rch, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1858.
"This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in a plain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de -
excesses and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and

was not more profoundly lifeless. Even the men
devoted themselves to the study of games of chancy
in connection with certain cubes of ivory, packs a
cards, and teetoturns. Here they flourished, and
large gilt numbers over the doors of the houses,
flaming with lights, in which the sports were ear-
ried on, were to be seen in all the decent streets,
and attracted the unwary to be burnt. In one of
these temples to the goddess Fortune presided the
Benicia Boy, and the others were generally provided
also with priests and acolytes of remarkable humpi-
ness at the back of the head and over the deltoids,
same of whom must have had their faces sat upon
in early
.youth or been subjected to the gentler
touches of a steam hammer. But Fortune had not
only Mars in training by her side, bat was in alli-
ance with Venus and Bacchus, and America being
a very young country has as many sons who cannot
resist such a combination of the mythology as any
of the older portions of the globe. Among these
was a paymaster in the navy, who in the equal con-
test dropped not only his own money, but large
sums, it is said, belonging to the State. The eye of
Uncle Samuel, closed before to all the "doings" and
" goings on" under his very nose, was now opened
wide, and last week descents a la Hatteras were
operated on the houses, numerous arrests made,
money seized, and rooms swept by the authorities.
As if determined to destroy all the pleasures of
Washington at one fell swoop, the Provost-Marshal
(Brigadier-General Porter) issued orders, about the
same time, that all the " bars" in the city and
George-town should be shut up at 9 o'clock, the
penalties of disobedience being the complete sup-
pression.of the bar and the arreat of,those, found in
front and behind it. The best of it is-every one is
pleased with these acts of vigour. We are all quite
ready for a " strong Government" here, and as the
South are ready for the same, or a little stronger,
if possible, we may see another instance of univer-
sal suffrage being used as a base on which to erect
the fabric of absolute autocratic power with the
consent of the suffragans. The selling of liquor to
soldiers is made highly penal also, and, if repression
and coercion can do it, the vast collection of armed
men here will speedily be licked enough to shape
with a rough tongue. But they kick against the
pricks. With all the love of military display and
parade which exists in America—the desire after
flags, banners, uniforms, arms, and rank, there is as
yet a want of the military or rather soldierly spirit
which begets attention to personal smartness, takes
pride in obedience, and bends freely to the yoke of
discipline. A young man was found guilty the other
day of sleeping on his post in face of the enemy,
and at night he was sentenced to be shot, and Gen.
M'Clellan issued orders fer the execution. I never
for a moment believed it would be carried out —it
would have been cruelty to commence with that
victim. Some time ago I heard General M'Dowell
say that, riding over tie Long Bridge at night with
some of his Staff, he found the sentry at the Vir-
ginia end asleep ; he dismounted, took away the
sleeper's musket, called the sergeant of the guard;
the sergeant was asleep too ; next the General sum-
moned the officer, and he was not forthcoming at
all till the whole post had been aroased. The
commonest thing in the world is to see the sen-
tries sitting down on stones and blocks of, wood
reading their newspapers, with their firelocks
across their knees. If a man sits down
at night it is hard for him to keep
awake, and I doubt if the temper of the
people, judging from what I heard, would have
permitted the execution of this young man without
condemnation of all concerned in it. They dis-
cussed the sentence in the hotels with acrimony,
and the general feeling, in some instances at least, •
seemed to be that a man could not help going to
sleep if he was sleepy, and that no one had any
right to kill him because he was sleepy. Repre-
sentations were made to the President, who ex-
pressed a wish that the man might be reprieved, as
it was the first case of capital condemnation ; and,
yielding to the wish and the intercession of his offi-
cers, General M'Clellan not only remitted the sca-
tence, but ordered the man to be released and to
return to his duty, giving at the same time due
warning to sleepers to come that they need expect
no such clemency in future.

from before Washington, either as a device to blind
their antagonists while making it, or to co-operate
with the rest of the army by a serious demonstration
above and below the city. If the Confederates have
moved, they mean to do some mischief. They can
scarcely retire and hope to make a better leap by
doing so. In inactivity on both side, coupled with
prodigious expenditure., are the best if not the only
chance of compromise and peace. Success on either
side revives the hopes of complete ultimate triumph
of the one, and stimulates the animosity and the
display of the resources of the other. There is one
thing to be taken into consideration as an element
of peace. During the winter the armies must go
into quarters. Even so far South as. Virginia the
weather is frequently very severe, snow lies many
feet deep on the ground for weeks at a time. The
Potomac is occasionally frozen over completely.
'('he roads, always indifferent, become rivers of mud
and slush, through which it would be nearly impos-
sible to move men or guns and baggage. :When the
armies are in winter qiiarters, will the politicians
work for peaCe or war ? Or will the leaders of
divisionsbe permitted to carry on operations in the
ice and snow, remembering the great success of
Washington after the trajet, which is so often re-
presented in bad engravings all over North Ame-
rica ? It is obviously the interest of Beaureguard
to strike a great blow before winter sets in, and
thus strengthen the base for negotiations ; but
General M'Clellan, I am satisfied, will not move
a man if he can help it until the very end of this
month or .the beginning of October. About that
time there will be Linn inquiries about the second
50 millions of the loan, and no doubt increased
vigour on the part of those who are opposed to the
war. But if Gen. M'Clellan obtains any very consi-
derable victory, and is able at the first stroke to
break through the shell with which the Confederates
have covered their soft parts in the interior of the
States, some measure short of secession and inde-
pendence may satisfy them ; and when they are me-
naced with destruction they may put up with an
cffer to live on fair terms with their conquerors. It
is to be seen whether the latter will then offer them
what they might have easily obtained at an earlier
stage of hostility. I have been in our Warsaw a few
days ago, on my way back from our American Po-
land, and, if I am to judge of the state of the South
where the North does its work from the condition
of things in Baltimore and Maryland, there is a
most melancholy future for the United States. Of
the ultimate power of the Northern and Western
States to subjugate the seceded States in the South,
if they put forth all their strength and means by sea
and land, I have no doubt whatever. The South
must die of atrophy after a time, if every channel of
line is shut to it. By the end of this month the
United States will have a large fleet on the coasts
and on the rivers, and I have reason to think that
an expedition will be organised also to attack the
Texan Secessionists from the West—far as that is
away. A naval officer said to me the other day—it
seems as if the moment an American sees an Eng-
lishman he thinks the latter is going to say some-
thing about cotton—" You need not be afraid of any
want of cotton in England. By October we will
have a few good ports down South, and plenty of
cotton for all the world." Fernandina may possibly
go soon ; there is au eye on Pensacola also, and New
Orleans is by no means safe. The condition to which
the blockade has reduced many classes in the South
is bad enough ; it will become still worse. Tea,
coffee, and clothing are neatly exhausted, or have,
as the American phrase has it, " given out," be-
cause there is none to give out at all. Lead, sul-
phur and salt are very scarce. Shoes, flannel, quinine,
beef and butler, cloth, tin, and leather are in the
same category. If the blockade be enforced the
distress and want of all things, save natural pro-
duce, will be intense.
And-what is the end to be ? There is a notion
in some men's minds that there will be a compromise
—that a strong democratic reaction and a great
peace party will arise which will oust the present
Administration, and carry some measures on which
North and South will find a base to rest propositions
for mutual agreement. To my limited vision the
idea seems quite illusory. The South, if not beaten,
will be content with no terms short of independence
or domination. The North is now irritated ; pride
and passion are aroused, and the peace party is
losing instead of gaining ground, owing to the
action of the Government and to the violence of the
populations, which have resulted in something very
like terrorism. The freedom of the press has ceased
to exist in its full acceptation. It is guaranteed by
the constitution, but that document which with the
empire it created is not as old as thousands of living
men is absolute as the Constitutions of Clarendon.
The grand jury of Win chester county have presented
a batch of five newspapers as tending to give aid and
comfort to the enemy. Mobs have, however, anti-
cipated grand jury presentments. The New York
papers, which are losing circulation and money, are
delighted at this wholesome rigour, and " cry havoc,
and let slip the dogs of war" at their unfortunate
brethren, at the same time doing Fouquier Tinville
to perfection, and pointing out others who ought
to be suppressed in the name of "public safety."
Ominous and terrible words !
It is some consolation to those who approve non-
interference in this great quarrel to see how the
Emperor of Russia's very friendly but very am-
biguous letter has been received by a certain por-
tion of the American public and by the Secretary
of State. Why, indeed, the despatch was written

The objeet of this treatise is to furnish the reader with in-
formation of the most userth Rind, and winch every man
should be acquainted with, on the physiology of the repro-
ductive organs, and on the nature and peculiarities of those
physical functions on which the satisfactory fulfilment of the
Obligations of Marriage depends. The work is not filled
with mysterious and intricate theories, but is intended to
elucidate the effects of imprudence, to remove unfounded
a'arm, and, where there is real cause for apprehension, to in-
dicate the course by which complete recovery can be effected,
and the preservation of functional, physical, and nervous
health secured.

For myself, I have the most cordial feelings of sym-
pathy in the recent quarrel which has broken out
between the Man in the Moon and his wife and think
they should both make it up at once. I will not,
however, send any messenger to say so, lest the Man

Slovenliness of dress and gait when off duty,
long locks, unbuttoned coats, unpolished boots and
equipments, mark many of the men, and the prac-
tice of saluting officers, even of high rank, is rather
exceptional. But things are vastly improved.
General NlTlellan knows that he has a number of
brave and intelligent men in his hands ; they are
not an army, but they are the making, as we say,
of a splendid
,one. They have been formed into
brigades and divisions, but that is for the conve-
nience of commands, as the brigades are not in a
condition to act in that initial capacity. The drills
to which the men are subjected are still of the most
elementary character, but their marching is very
good indeed, and some attempts recently made to
direct brigades from point to point, and to shift
them from one camp to another, with orders as to
the observance of time, have been satisfactory. The
cavalry force is now augmented, and one smart
corps, dressed in blue tunics, with yellow braid,
like our 7th Hussars, passed through the other day-

in very good order. There are Polish and Hunga-
rian colonels raising a regiment of Lancers and
another of Hussars—which will make the squad-
rons in the field reach a respectable figure. I
should not be disposed to estimate the cavalry
about Washington at more than 1,500 sabres. The
field guns, perhaps may number 15 batteries. The
battalions of infantry must exceed 80 by some small
numbers; but it is very difficult, owing to the con-
stant changes and the confused nomenclature of
the different regiments, to arrive at any sound con-
clusion on that point.
Some of the regiments are sent into the field from
their States in excellent style, and I was very much

struck by the completeness of the way in which the
18th Massachusetts Regiment was turned out, with
baggage-waggons, tents, unforms, horses, commis-
sariat transport, so that it was ready for a campaign
in all respects, except that the men—fine, stout,
hardy-looking fellows, were not acquainted with
their drill. The Vermont Regiment was provided

to yield to an ignoble peace." It would be very
difficult to convince any American who listens to
what he is told and believes what he reads, and will

is still great inequality in the arms, equipments, and
efficiency of the Line. Col. Burnside, now promoted
to the rank of Brigadier-General, is appointed to
take charge of all regiments on their arrival, and
to get them into working order before they are sent
across the'river. Everything is done that can be
effected by the superior officers, but the men still
indulge in grumbling, and now and then shoot each
other. Eventually, however, and in no long time,
there will be a new spirit among them. General
Scott's order, in which he congratulates the army
on the prospect of being paid in paper instead of in
gold, has not produced any effect on the troops,
but at the same time they do not complain of it.

But some American misapprehensions are rendered

The American papers contain details of obscure
