I3-Thc question is often uskcd-'Whv is it
that DR.. j. c. Young is SO successful, while other
advertising Physicians are failing from day to
la p The answer must be or should be. plainly
apparent 10 all; ii is. that he understands his
profession and attends to it; and as his practice
increases his knowledge extends SO close has
been his application to his unprecedented prac-
tice, that he is perfect OF his profession.
and can insure all relief from their trouble; aud
while others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered,
his course is onward and upward. placing him 1T
the head Of his arduous profession. So great has
been bis increase Of business that he has hccn
Obliged to associate with himself two other physi-
clans. both Of extended knowledge and practice.
We would advise all afflicted TO call upon him in
preference to any other Physician. We are in
formed that lie treats entirely on the vegetable
system. and viii always warrant u perfect cure.
His Office is 15l Clay street. opposite the upper
corner OF the Plaza.
From the Times and transcript.
There are thousands in this State suffering for
want Of scientific medical treatment. and they
fear to apply to physician. because they have
been deceived, or their friends have been, by
some Of the charlataus who iniest the community
and whU publish themselves as good physicians
professors etc. To all such we unhesitatingly
recommend Dr. j. G. Young. as physician in
whom all can place confidence. He is man of
cHHllcut anu plpIOuHu Stuuy IL SuOu SNrGtOll. an
honorable man, and one who can sympathisc with
persons in affliction. His standing as physician
and gentleman are both cuaranteed--t the first by
his medical works. which are an honor to their
anthor, and the extensive and highly uccessful
course OF practice with which he has been honor
ed since his advent in California; and the latter
by his numerous patrons and large circle of ac-
quaintances. We say TO all afflicted, call on him.
as he will at once state the case to you. and you
may rely upon his Judgment. We like his prin-
ciplc--no cure no pay.
From Professor Hitchcock.

Although we are opposed to the system of ad-

les of the medical science in the United States.

The REAsoS.-Lincoln was elected President Of
the United States by the vote of the free States
alone. The great leading principle of the party
that elected him was hostility to slavery. Their
avowed purpose was to prevent its extension into
any territory of the Government, and to effect its
ultimate extinction in the States. These principles
and purposes Mr.. Lincoln and his party leaders
openly avowed. Knowing this, the So-th asked of
the North certain guarantees against nfractons Of
their constitutional rights. These guarantees the
North, in Congress, and elsewhere, persistenty re-
fused TO make. Left thus at the mercy of an un-
princpled majority who had entire possession OF
the government the South, as q last resource for
sefpreservation, determined to dissolve their
nexion with the North, and establish and indepen-
dent government for themselves.
For taking this very sensible and necessary ac-
ton the Lincoln press and people charge the South
wth'''seeking to overthrow the best government
the world ever saw, without any cause, and before
any of their rights had been invaded Because,
forsooth, the South did not wait till Lincoln had
them entirely in his powerl As well might they
call man fool, for nsuring his house, before it
had ever been on fret

FATAL SHoorISe APrArR.--A deplorable event.
involving the killing Of Mr.. Montgomery, Of Lou
isville, a member of one of the companies at Camp
Boone, by Lieut.. Joyes Of the same company, oc-
CURED on Wednesday afternoon, q, Saloon on
Franklin Street. It appears that Montgomery was
seeking difficulty with man living in Christian
County then in the ROOM and Joyes in trying to pre-
vent it, became involved with Montgomery. Some
demonstration on NJ, IS part drew blow of the fist
from Joyes, whereupon Montgomery drew pistol,
hut seized by Joyes and the two men fell to the
soor, Montgomery on top. After. brief struggle
the pistol fired, and Joyes got up saying he chad
shot him, but was sorry he had TO do it," He shot
II. in the side with his own pistol, that he had
drawn on Joyes. Montgomery was removed to the
National HOTEL and afterwards to DR.. Danger6eld's
residence, where he died yesterday morning.
Lieut. Joyes, Immediately after the occurrence,
went out to Camp with his Captain. The impress
sion Of those who witnessed the affair, is that be
acted entirely in selfdefense, aud that he deeply
regrets the necessity that was forced upon him Of
shooting comrade in arms

RAINY DAY IN TIE CoUNTRY-Reader, did
you ever spend rainy day in the country2-
Many, or all Of you, doubtless, have. The pent-up
denizen of the city knows nothing of the real hap
piness enjoyed around the cheerful hearthstone of
farmhouse albeit the rain is pattering against the
window, and cool breezes come direct from the
north-for this is the time for Grandma and the
children to nestle around a coy little fre-just
enough to dispel the damp air-and recount mauy
little incidents and pleasant memories of the past.
We spent last Monday in the country, after the
style above described, and the quiet, happy hours
then enjoyed, at the house of a kind old Aunt,
made us forget the many trials and misfortunes
through which we had passed during the year
But the time for departure came, when we had to
cease, for the time, looking out upon the wide
spread fields of corn and golden wheat and return to
gaze at lifeless piles of brick and mortar and ex-
change the song of birds for the rattle of rolling
wheels and the hum-drum song of draymen.
May our kind aunt and our dear country cousins
live to ripe old age in the full enjoyment of every
blessing in their pleasant rural home.
