rTHE HOWARD ASSOCIATION in view

DectNccr.
TINE HOWARD ASSOCIATION, in view of the
Il awful destruction of human life, caused by
Sexual diseases, and the deceptions practiced upon
the unfortunate victims of such diseases by Quacks
several years ago directed their Consulting Sur
geon, as q CHARITABLE ACT worthy Of their
name to open Dspensary for the treatment of this
class of diseases, in all their FORMS and to give
MEDICAL ADVICE GRATIS to all who apply by
letter, with description of their condition, (age
occupation habits of life, &C., and in cases of ex-
IRENE poverty, to FURNISH MEDICINES FREE
OF CHARGE. 1t is needless to add that the As
sociation commands the highest Medical skill of
the age, and will furnish the most approved mod
ern treatment.
The Directors of the Association, in their Annu-
al Report upon the treatment of Sexual Diseases
for the year ending January 1st 1858, express the
highest satisfaction with the success which has at
tended the labors of the Consulting Surgeon in the
cure of Spermatorrhea Seminal Weakness lmpo
tence, Gonorrhea, elect, Syphilis, the vice of
Onanism or Selfabuse, &C., and order continu-
ance of the same plan for the ensuing year.
The Directors on review of the past, feel as
sured that their labors in this sphere of benevolent
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 SpermatorrhGa, or
Seminal Weakness, the vice OF Onanism, Mastur-
bation or Self-abuse, and other diseases OF the
sexual organs, by the Consulting Surgeon, will be
sent by mail Tin a sealed enyelopel FREE OF
CHARGE, on the receipt OF IWO STAMPS for
postage. Other Reports and tracts on the nature
and treatment of sexual diseases diet, &C., are
constantly being published for gratuitous disribu
ton, and will be sent to the afflicted Some of the
new remedies and methods of treatment discovered
during the last year, are of grea. value : -

From the Gold Mines.

We take the following letter from
the Freedom Champion, published in
Atchison, which says the statements
are to be relied on in every particular.
In short time we hope to be able to
furnish our readers with news direct
from the Gold Mines, as a number, who
have gone, have promised to write us the
first favorable opportunity after arri-
wing at this new Ell Dorado
,AURARIA, ARAPHoE Co., X. T.,
January 25th, 1859.
EDITOR CHAMPION: Dear Sir: /
promised when left, to write to you
on my arrival, and should have done so
before, but have been so busy that |
have not had time. / have been en-
gagged in prospecting, to satisfy myself
as to the truth of the reports of Gold
in abundance, and am convinced. The
gold is here, and no mistake. You can
find it any and everyplace; on the plains,
in the river bottoms; on the mountains,
and in the ''gulches" and "spurs" of
the mountains-the sand of the river
'glistens with the shining dust; the dark
earth of the rich valleys is teeming
with untold wealth. Each day brings
to light some new discovery, which
goes to prove that the wealth of the
country will, when developed, cause a
great excitement in the monetary and
commercial world. Miners make from
$500 to $500 and $1,000 per day,
when they work; and there have been
instances of their finding nuggets worth
$500 and $4,000.
The weather is so cold and the ground
frozen so hard at this date, that but
very little mining is going on, but men
are out prospecting and hunting up the
richest "diggings" every day.
We, that is to say the St. Louis boys
having laid out place we call Auraria.
1t is beautifully situated ut the mouth
of Cherry Greek, on the South bank of
the South Platte, and laying about
twelve miles from the birthplace of
that river, in the mountains.
There are about 1900 men in the val
ley; and 600 of them have built houses
in this place. We have over 24O good
log cabins completed, and by the first
of June will have accommodations for
10000 souls. We look for an emigra-
ton equal to that of 40 and so to
California.
The mail and Express company will
run direct from your town to this place,
and / hope to be able to furnish you
with the earliest news. Mr. HOCKADAY
is on the road now, making arrange
ments for his mail line.
And here | would say that Atchison
is much nearer the Gold Mines than
any other point on the Missouri river,
and the greater part of the emigration
which comes out here in the Spring
must, [ think, flow through your place.
Persons who know nothing of the
country or the best and nearest points
to start from may be deceived, by false
representations, into taking another
route from another place, but depend
upon it they will not do so a second
time, when they become better acquain-
ted with the country. The route
between the Republican and Solomon's
fork Of the Kansas river is bound to be
the great horoughfare.
L will write to you whenever I can
get time, and hope to be able to do SO
regularly. Yours truly,
JOHN SCUDDER.
