To the editors of the Pacific Medical Journal
Gentlemen My attention has been called to an art-
Gle in the December number Of your journal, in regard
to the ad eundem degree granted by the Philadelphia
College of Medicine to DR.. l.. }. Czapkay. When the
application fQthe degree made to the Faculty, it
was accompanied by afhdavits and testmpnRls to the
effect that Br. Czapkay a regular graduate NJ. D.
of the University of Pesth, had served as surgeon in
the Han Miriam army and was Regular practitioner
of medicine. On the strength Of these the degree
was grjaiied. The ad eundem degree as its name i'm
plies, is conferred graduates only, and gives us
new privileges Had there been the slightest susp-
cion of irreguarity, the application would have been
refused. BY inserting this in your journal you VIII
do actol justice to the College, and confer favor

The undersigned deslrous of acquainting those who
may beunfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted
where permanent relief of their sunerings may be
obtained feels It his duty to thus publicly express his
most sincere gratitude to Dr. H. J. Czapkay for the
permanent recovery of his health Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious prac-
tice of uncomfortable passion IN youth depressed in
body and mind, unable TO perform even the most ri
Ging duty imposed upon the daily avocatons of life,
sought the advice of many physicians, who at first
garded my disease of trng Importance; but, alasl
after few weeks, and in several instances months of
their rtreatment, found to my unuterabe horror that
instead of relief my symptoms became more alarming
in their torture and being told by that my disease
bong principally confined to the brain, medicines
would be Of little consequence despaired OF re-
gaining my health strength and energy and, as last
resort and with but faint hope, called upon Dr.
Czapkay, who, after examining my case, prescribed
medicine which almost instantly relieved me of
the dull pain and dizgness In my head. Encouraged
by She result resolved to place myself Immediately
under his care and ny strict obedience to all his di
rectons and advice, my head became olear my ideas
collected the constant pain in my back and groins,
the weakness of my limbs the nervous reaction Of nv
whole body on the slightest alarm or excitement; the
misanthropy and evil forebodings the self-distrust
and want Of confidence in Others the incapability to
study, and want of resolution the rightful, exciting,
and, at times, pleasurabe dreams by night, followed
by involuntary discharges, have all disappeared. and
in fact in months after having consulted the Doc
tor, felt as if inspired by life-that life which
short time ago, contemplated to end with my own
hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from falling
into the snares of incompetent quacks. deem il my
duty to offer this testimony to the merits and skill of
DR.. Cz-pkay, and recommend him to all who may
stand in need of medical advice heng assured by my

and permanent cure will be effected.

Training at West Point.

AT West Point the cadets are daily trained
to shoot at target with the musket or rifle.
They fire ten targets, the size and form of a
man. Each squad is arranged in lines, SO
that each cadet and each squad is recorded,
so that the qualities Of each as q marksman
are we'll known to the instructor.
While on visit to this famous military
school last summer, we paid close attention
to the rifle shooting of the cadets. 1t was
what may be called in general, loose firing
yet we could bot fail to notice how some Of
the cadets appeared to be born marksmen,
while others appeared TO be naturally inca
pabls of learning the art.
One cadet, whom we watched, tried in
vain to his target at moderate distance
Not believing the fault was in himself, he
con D aimed it must be in the rifle. He was
soon convinced of his error by the instructor
taking up his rife and planting a bullet
right in the "bulps eye." We made some
inquiries of the instructor respecting the quail
tiles of the cadets in learning to shoot, when
he told US that the youth to whom we have
just referred could not make marksman.
Chapman, in his book called The Ame1i-
can Rifle" states that all men dodge in firing
some before, and others just after the shot
is fred. The latter class may learn to be
marksmen, the former never. In learning
to shoot with rifle, person should endeavoI
to acquire steady, cool demeanor, with a
true, quick eye and nimble finger. Practioe,
and nothing but practice, can make good
marksman. At the same time mere firing
is not the only practice necessary.

The Deadly Rife.

The returns Of "killed and wounded" at
the battle of Bull Run are necessarily i'm
perfect, but enough have been received to
show that the losses among officers, especial
ly commissioned" ones, are much larger in
proportion to their number, than those
among privates. The killed are 2 Colonels,
i Lieutenant-Colonel, 2 Majors, 16 Captains,
and Lieutenants and the wounded,
Acting Major Generals, Colonels, Lieu
tenant-Colonel, 3 Majors, l6 Captains, and
80 Lieutenants. The casualties among caps
tains are particularly noticeably. Making
every allowance for the extra exposure of Of.
fcers on horseback and those on foot in front,
or at the side of their companies, there is
still no doubt that large number of the kill
ed and disabled on that fatal day were sim
gled out and shot by expert marksmen, who
were enabled to take deliberate aim from
rife pits or behind trees.
The distance between the hostile forces
was repeatedly small enough to permit the
picking off of individuals with perfect GER
tainty by any person moderately skilled in
the use of the rife. What loss was sustain
ed among the officers of the enemy is not
known; but, as many thousands of the Uni-
ted States forces engaged were also armed
with rifles, it may fairly be supposed that the
sharp-shooters in our ranks used these weap-
ons with deadly effect upon the wearers Of
shoulder straps and swords wherever they
could be seen.

What is to be Done with Them

What is to be done with Northera sympa>
thizers with treasons You may know them
by the piteous winnings with which they
deprecate war-by their groanings about
coercion" and subjugation," and by their
extreme concern about Mr.. Lincoln's viola
tions of the Constitution, in his efforts to pre-
serve it, although they have nothing to say
about Davis effort to destroy it altogether.
They are all Of them sneaking hypocrites,
and the surest way to judge them is TO watch
their faces upon the receipt of news. If it is
disastrous to the rebels, their visages at once
put on a heightened, solemn look. If the
Union army has met with disastsr-if one
of our faithful officers has been assassinatad
by rebel, their eyes brighten at once.
These men, were they in Maryland or Mis-
souri,. wouldsmuggle powder andshot to their
Southern brethren-would engage to the ex.
tent of their courage in driving out friends
of the Union and confscating their property
or destroying it. But they are where their
reasonable sympathies can do no harm and
where we can allow them to remain and en-
joy the protection of the Government which
they would gladly see destroyed. All that we
would lay up in store against them is simply
a truthful record Of the fact that in the hour
of it's greatest peril they stood with the ene-
mics Of the Government and gave their SYM
pathies to the conspirators. We would have
this known for at least one generation, and
to this end hope they may be inspired with
sufficient courage to place themselves where
they belong. They can do it safely.-Har-

Brigadier-G General Lyon.

The telegraph last evening brought to us
the sad intelligence Of the death of Briga~
dier- General Lyon, commanding the United
States forces in Missouri.
Gen. Nathaniel Lyon was the son of subs
stantial farmer of Ashford, Connecticut, and
was the descendant, paternally and mater-
nally, of families who were distinguished for
intellect and integrity of character. His
mother was of the Knowlton family, which
produced two of the distinguished officers of
the Revolutien-one, the famous Col. Knowl-
ton, who, as Maj1r, commanded the Connec-
ticut boys at the Old Rail Fence, on the lef
wing of the American army, at Bunker's
Hill, and was afterwards killed at the BATHS
of Harlem Heights, New York.
General Lyon was educated at the United
States Military Academy at West Point,
where he graduated with distinction in l84l.
and remained in the army until the time Of
his death, having risen to the rank of Cap
tain in the Second Infantry; and by the re-
cent choice of the Missouri volunteers became
their Brigadier-General. He was in the
prime of life as a military commander, hav>
ing been but forty>two years of age. lie had
great experience in his profession, especially
in the rougher duties, which fitted him so
especially Ior his posltou as OomLnauuef>In-
Chief of the Missouri forces His service had
been principally upon the frontiers-in the
Florida, Texas, California, Oregon, Kansas,
and other Indian and border wars. He was
with General Scott's division during the
Mexican campaign, and was breveted August
90, 1847. g" for gallant and meritorious con-
duct in the battles of COntreras and Churu>

OF the city of Mexico, September I3, l847.-
He had strong physical constitution, a
high order of intellect, and an energy which

The World Subject to the South

A Richmond IVA. journal utters this idle
talk:
Luckily we cannot too often repeat or too
strongly impress it upon our readers, we of
the Southern States are wholly independent
of all cooperation from foreign Powers
We can live and prosper without assistance
from any quarter. But not SO with others.
The most civilized and powerful nations of
tbe globe are directly dependent upon us for
their welfare, and even for the subsistence
of their people. 1t is this consideration of
self interest which will make them our
friends.
AS we hate the Yankees with hate which
every day only serves to increase and inaame
we rejoice at any circumstance which tends
to multiply their enemies and embarrass
their condition. Next to being able to exter-
inmate them ourselves, the greatest pleasure
we can enjov is To witness their extermina-
ton by others. For this reason, it is, we
pray eternally that they may be involved in
horrible wars with all the Powers OF the
earth-be swept from the ocean and be ex-
terminated from the land
The English, who have come to appreciate
the Yankees at his true value, and entertain
a just contempt for him. imagine, and probas
bly, very correctly, that his doom is sealed.
without blow from them. But if that blow
is necessary, it will not be withheld.
