Epidemic Diseases
THE HOWARD ASSOCIATION, in view
l. of the awful destruction of human lift
caused by Sexual Diseases, and the deception
practised upon the unfortunate victims of such
diseases by Quacks, several years ago directed
their Consulting Surgeon, as CHART ABLE
ACT worthy of their name, to open a Dispen-
sary for the treatment of this class of diseases
in all their forms, and to give MEDICAL AID
VICE GRATIS to all who apply by letter
with a description of their condition, (aee
occupation, habits of life, Gc) and in case o.
extreme poverty, to FURNISH MEDICINES
FREE OF CHARGE. 1t is needless to add
that the Association commands the highest
Medical skill of the age, and will furnish the
most approved modern treatment.
The Directors of the Association in their An
nual Report upon the treatment of Sexual Di-
seases, express the highest satisfaction with the
success which has attended the labors of their
Surgeons in the cure of Spermatorrhna, Semin-
al Weakness, Gonorrhea, elect, Syphilis, the
vice of Onanism or Self Abuse, Diseases of the
Kidneys and Bladder, DC, and order contin-
uance of the same plan for the ensuing year.
The Directors, on a review of the past feel
assured that their labors in this sphere of benev
olent effort have been of great benefit to the
afflicted, especially to the young, and they have
resolved to devote themselves, with renewed
Zeal, to this very important and much despised
cause.
An admirable report on Spermatorrhea, or
Seminal Weakness, the vice of Onanism, Mas
turbation or Self-Abuse, and other diseases OF
the Sexual organs, by the Consulting Surgeon,
will be sent by mail Tin sealed envelope),
FREE OF CHARGE, or receipt of TWO
STAMPS for postage. Other Reports and
Tracts ON the nature and treatment of Sexual
diseases, diet, de-, are constantly being pub
llshed for gratuitous distribution and will be
sent to the afflicted. Some of the new remedies
and methods of treatment discovered during the
last year, are of great value.

the quarter ending with December, 1858, show
a sum total of receipts equal to Sl,S6O.l76 IA,

which give surplus for the quarter of nearly
Million and gain of nearly one hundred thou

quarter of 1867. Here we have another evil
dence of the. return ofprospcrous times; and we
have no doubt that, notwithstanding the culpa-
bic folly of Congress at the late session, and the
embarrassments thus entailed upon the Post
Office Department, that through the current year
and the next year it will continue to prosper.
The Department is in good hands, and is doing
very well in spite of Congress

ELI TnAYER STILL COIoNIzING.-W under
stand that Hon. Eli Thaya, the pioneer Of
those famous Kansas Emigrant Aid Societies, il
now busy at Worcester, Massachusetts, organi-
zing company of colonlsts for his new aud pre-
missing settlement at Ceredo, on the northwest
ern border of Virginia We have lately passed
through the Charlotte gold district of North Ca
rolina, and from the Information derived ia that
district of its aurifcrous and other resources and
of the scarcity of labor there, we should say that
q colony of well behaved and industrious Yam
KEGS in that neighborhood would make it pay
handsomely to all concerned. Indeed, from Viz
gina to Georgia, what with the iron, coal, geld
and other mines, and endless forests Of timber,
and water power, &c, &c, to say nothing of the
fish and oysters, and "early garden sass" of that
great section of the Union, there would be q
magnificent field of operations for Northern
white enterprise and labor, if we could only have
peace between the North and the South upon
this everlasting question of slavery. Thus, with
peace upon this subject, the advantages to both
sections would he inestimable. As it is in Viz
ginia, North Carolina, and even in South Caro-
lima, an enterprising conservative Northern man,
like Eli Thayer, is pretty sure Of kind and hos
pitable reception, and sure to make it pay.

Poor FoRNEY.-The Chevalier Forney is CON
stantly bowling over Mr.. Buchanan's distribution
of the spoils. Poor Forney. Since his expul-
sion from the fat chops aud sops, and pickings
and lckings Of the kitchen, everything goes
wrong. His latest distress arises from the re-
ported appointment Of a Mr.. O. b. Bar
rett, Of Pennsylvania, as Superintendent Of
Public Printing, in the place of George
Washington Bowman, supposed to have re-
signed. Forney is astounded Why Barrett 2
lie was always, according to Forney, an enemy
of Mr.. Buchanan. Barrett was the representa-
tive Of the old Skunk opposition to Buchanan"
and Barrett, it appears, "has written more bitter
articles against Mr.. Buchanan than any other
man living, not excepting James Gordon Bes-
nett.n And thus, through half column, the dis
tressed Forney howls away at Barrett Poor
Forney. Hyou wish to hear him howl, give him
q smell Of the kitchen.

lis Ces,sAroa, srss-we COPY from q rssp, e.,-
BILE Ss<ssdsy contemporary the New Ysk
Leadr-S cIeveriy written article on newspaper
enterprise in this gs~ stry. The subject is oae
that is interesting noe merely to ourselves a.
journalists, but 10 the nlAss's of our people who
owe their political education entirely to that
source. As chapter of conteDpo' airy criticism,
the article to which we refer is rem .rkable for
its Freedom from prejudice and general accuracy
ofstatement-a rare thing now. a-day's in discus
sions In which professional rivalry is involved.
Ii advances one or two opinions in regard to
ourselves to which we might take exception; but
they are counter balanced by so much candoe
and such q spirit Of fairness In other respects,
that we may we'll excuse them. When We OH
serve the evidence of desire to deal honestly
with facts, the speculative views to which they
may give rise are but Of secondary csasidoCa-
ton with US.
II will bc seen that the writer Of this article
bears testimony TO the influence which the c.
terprise OF the HERALD and the creative
abilities Of its proprietor have exercised
upon the progress Of the newspaper press
of America. He dates the vitality Of the
latter from the period when the appear
aDce Of the small sheet which first bore his impri-
matur announced that new spirit had been in
fused into its labors. But what is the progress
which he describes as then exciting the euvy and
moving the sio,hfulness Of its contemporaries to
thatwhich now marks the course Of the HHEALDs
At time in its career has its circulation iAcreas-
ed with the same rapidity or its advertisements
multiplied to the same extent, as during the LASS
twelve months. The revival Of business brought
us ON immense additional amount of advertising
patronage, and the extraordinary activity of tho
spring trade has made such demands upon our
space that we have been compelled to issue triple
sheets three or four times week-a feature that
bids fair to become a daily and permanent necss-
sity with us Our advertisement receipts, "a
our books will show, average upwards II
100000 year-equal to those of all the other
daily journals of New York put together--whilst
our daily circulation is also equal to their csm-
bined aggregate. One of the best, because ono
of the most convincing, proofs Of the extent Of
our circulation and advertising influence is the
fact Of New York papers, like the E1prcss tho
Tribune and the Sun, advertising in our ooluaaas.
ID order to refa:c1 r r-rs that they are ia ex-
istence, our contemporaries find themselves COM
PEELED to have recourse to the publicity which
the HERALD alone can afford them

Our CRIMINAL RECoRD.-We publish elsewhere
an article showing that there are now confined
in our city prison the startling number Of
eighteen persons either convicted of or charged
with capital crimes. At the same time, the news
papers throughout the country TEEN with reports
of murders, executions for murders, poisonings
and other outrages truly appalling. 1t is curious
fact that, as general rule, modes Of numbering
have their seasons of prevalence like the
fashions, as Ii the case now in the use Of poison
or as was shown last winter in the numbers Of
gar1oters- So with suicides different means of
death--as, for instance, strychnine, drowning or
arsenic--are alternately in favor. This city,
however, has more than its proportion of
crimes, and appears to be in q measure ex-
empt from the rule above mentioned. This is
owing to the total inelliciency of the police, in
consequence OF which all sorts OF crimes
are committed with impunity. The stealthy
mode Of committing crime prevalent elsewhere
is not necessary here. Rowdies can abuse,
MAIN and murder in the public streets and bar
rooms with perfect freedom, because Our miser-
able police either dare not or will not interfere
Give us a good police, and New York will be
the most moral city in the world, and exempt
from the seasons Of crime that prevail elsewhere.

Thcsc men appear to be in hurry. They
have gone of halfcocked. We do not suppose
that Mr.. Douglas expects to be nominated at
Charleston. But the question with these South
ern fire. eaters should be, can VIC dispense with
the support of Douglas! Can we afford to kick
him out when he really desires to stand with the
democratic party and the administration? That
is very nice question. Let the Southern Ill
tras hold back little. They have been driving
