This terrible disease is aarmnglv on the increase
in this country and should be attended To in season
for there is no complaint more dangerous, and at
tended with more suffering than this fatal disease
Any person who has been troubled with venerea
seminal weakness, or any other private disease
should watch very closely for this trouble lis first
symptoms is generally an unpleasant sensation in
the parts sometimes of a tickling nature an uneas-
mess OF the mind, am underlined dread of something
you know not what, and if not attended to the urine
becomes affected, and then follow all those dreadful
symptoms which so often result in a miserable and
disgusting death. But the suffering, before death
comes tO relieve the patient is dreadful sometimes

BE NOT BE DECEIVED.
In consequence of the wide spread celebrity of DR..
J. c. Young, certain pretenders have palmed them
selves upon the unsuSpecting as being the vertable
DR.. Young. Persons wishing to avail themselves Of
ID. Ys skill should be very careful and call at his of
flee. or send some known friend that will not deceive
them, as tho landlords of some disreputabe hotels
have been in the habit OF keeping loungers on at
their places, and when requested to call Dr. Y, have
palmed such persons upon the invalid as being Dr.
Young. The Doctor viii always be ready to attend
on cases where the patient is not able TO call. HIS
medicines nannot be obtained at any other place in
the country, as he has no agents. Therefore, be
careful, and not be deceived by any OF the quacks
and imposters Of the State.

THE HOLY DAY.


Sabbath holy;
To the lowly
Still thou art welcome day.
Whence thou contest, earth and ocean,
shade and brightness, rest and motion,
Help the poor mans heart to pray.
Sun-woke forestl
Bird that soarest
O'er the mute empurpled moori
Thrush's song that stream-like Lowest;
Wind. that over dew-drcps goestl
Welcome now the woe-wOrn poor.
IAttIe river,
Young ioreverl
Cloud, gold.bnght, with thankful glee <
Happy w0odbine, gladly weepingl
That within the wild rose keepiDgl
Oh, that they were blest as ye.
Sabbath hOlyl
For the lowly
Paint with flowers thy glittering sod:
For afIliction's Sons and daughters
Aid thy mountains, woods, and waters
Pray to God, the poor mans God.
Pale young mother,
Gasping brotherl
Weeping sister, young and iairl
Griefbowed sire, that life long diestl
Whitelipped child that sleeping slightest
Come and drink the light and air.
Still God liveth--
Still he giveth
What no life can take away;
And, Sabbath bringing gladness
Unto hearts of weary sadness.
Still art thou the ''PoOr mans day"

Foreign Relations.

The documents from the State Depart-
ment, submitted to Congress at the opening
of the session, discloses the important fact
that our Government occupies the same re-
lations with foreign powers, In reference to
privateering, that it did at the beginning of
the rebellion. Soon after Lincoln was nau-
gurated, the United States offered to accept
the article of the Paris treaty abolishing
privateeriDg, but both England and France
desired to make an exception 10 favor Of
the rebels. To this, our Government re-
fused to yield, leaving the United States
free from any obligation to accept the Paris
declaration. The English and French Gov.
ernments undoubtedly believed that jeff
Davis privateers would make good the
boasts of Southern papers, and sweep the
American commerce from the ocean; but
it is hardly necessary to state how utterly
the anticipations of the rebels and their
sympatbisers we're at fault in this respect
A resume of The documents, submitted by
the State Department, showing our rela-
tons with foreign powers, is thus given by
a Washington correspondent
England entertains, or at least expressed, no
sympathy for us, but rather the reverse.
France has not been cordial, but has been
less offensive than England.
Austria has been friendly; and from the out
set has declared that she would not recognize
the rebel Confederacy.
Prussia and all the German States have been
equally cordial.
Russia has been friendly, but anxious for the
war to end.
Sweden and Norway have been friendly from
the beginning.
Belgium is undecided, but passive.
Holland is disposed to follow the lead Of En-
gland at a respectful distance.
Italy is full Of warm sympathy for our Gov
ernment and for freedom.
Spain, though not aggressive, has an evident
leaning towards the jeff. Davis Republic.
Denmark is friendly.
The Pope, though he announces that his Gov
ernment is not Of this world but that he is con-
cerned with spiritual things, yet if he were to
express an opinion, he, as good Christian, will
always be on the side Of law rnd order.

MILTARY.-A week or more ago, ii was
stated in the papers that the Fifth Callfor-
ala Regiment, encamped near Sacramento,
mad received orders TO proceed to the south.
orn part of the State, and that the Fourth
Regiment, then at Auburn, was TO occupy
the camp Of the Fifth. Col Bowie, of the
Fifth, authorized the Sacramento Bee TO
state that he was not aware of any such
orders having been issued; but it appears
that the former statement was correct. Sew
eral companies Of the Fifth have already
left their camp, near Sacramento, for San
Francisco, whence they are TO sail for San
Pedro, aud companies of the Fourth have
arrived at Sacramento, from Auburn. The
Rith Regiment, we believe, is full.

Com IN THE UNITED STATEs.-The Sec
retary of the Treasury, in his late annual
report, says no means exist of ascertaining
with absolute certainty the quantity of coin
now in the Uuited States; but the best ac-
cessibe data leads the Secretary to concur
in The judgment of the Director of the Mint,
that the amount is between two hundred
and seventy-hVe millions aud three hundred
millions of dollars. This is very large
amount-su1icient in ordinary times for all
purposes of a currency, without using bank
bills. A great portion Of the money now
in the country must be boarded among the
people, as always has been and will be the
case, in times of war.

The STONE FLEET. Washington cores
pondents asserts on what they term the best
authority that The stone feet which lately
sailed from Northern ports, was intended to
"seal up' the barbors Of Charleston and Sa-
vanuah. 1t is now about two months since
the vessels sailed, and we have had no &C.
count of any Of them except three that were
sunk at Ocracoke Inlet, on the coast of
North Carolina. If they had sailed direct
ly for Charleston, we should certainly heard
something Of them before now, and we
must conclude that Washington correspon-
dents knew nothing of the destination of
the feet. The vessels were probably de-
signed to stop the 'rat-holes" along the
Southern Coast, in order to render the
blockade more efficient.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-01-09

DEMORALZED.-A Baltimore dispatch, of
the 4th inst, says that deserter from the
rebel army 10 Virginia, states that the en-
tire army is utterly demoralized. Regi.
mental drills have ceased entirely; the men
are spending their time with cards, and
great numbers are offering large sums for
substitutes. The Confederate Government
is urged to 90 something to remedy the
evil. Many who would enlist are discour-
aged by the demoralized condition of the
army.

WORSE THAN REPREsENTED.--The Placer
vile News charges that the Sacramento
papers will not tell the whole truth about
the late food 10 that city, aud the Marys-
Willie Appeal iutimates that it would not
be safe for them to do so. The citizens
would denounce them in town meetings If
they stated the facts as they are at least
that Is the way they do in MNFysville. We
can see no object 10 suppressug the truth /;
but from Information derived from persons
who have lately been at Sacramento, and
from private letters from citizens of that
place to friends in Nevada, we conclude
that the city is in a much worse con
dillon than q person would suppose from
reading The papers. The houses in the
lower part Of the city are still uninhabia
bic. In Marysville also, the destruction Of
property and suffering occasioned by the
aOOd has been much greater than the pub
HC have been led TO believe by the publish
ca accounts.

hS misunderstanding to on Eastern
Gspatcb, the Federal forces under General
Stevens landed within six miles of Charles
ton,on the first Of January, aud took pO.
session Of some batteries. Atlatest advices
they were waiting for reinfOrcements, with
toe view, doubtless, of marching to Charles
ton. That traltOrOus city is evidently in
danger.

THE CONFEDERATE ARMY.-The New York
Herald. of Dec. 7th, contains long account of
the personnel Of the rebel army. II makes out
the M number under arms to be 300, 900, more than
half of which they procured by impressment;
and this army cannot be increased, but, on the
contrary will diminish. This account contains
the names Of all their generals, colonels, ma
iors and captains; the name OF each regiment
In service; the names of all the Confederate
camps, and Of the regiments, battalions and
companies located at each, together with the
name OF the State in which each company OF
regiment was raised.

PROMISE OF GooD HARyEsT.-The con-
tinuous rain though suggestive Of dull times
and some damage to our city, gives promise Of
abundant crops the next two years in our val
ley. The largast crop per acre harvested in our
valley, and if we mistake not, in the Sacra-
mento valley was the harvest succeeding the
freshets of 1928. For the last six years
there has been but one year in which there was
an over supply Of moisture added to our tillable
soils, and two or more years the rains were in
sufficient; so that the moisture of the earth on
which our crops are dependent, has been grad
ually reduced, until its want has been shown in
lessened yield per acre of our cereal crops,
beyond the falling off, which constant cropping
occasions. The abundant rams of this season
will replenish the earth's exhausted reservoirs,
and its good effects will be seen for more than
the coming season. [Napa Reporter.

Underwriters at the outset of the rebellion,

PLACERvILLE AND SAN Francisco RAIL
RoAD.-The Placerville correspondent Of the
Alta has the following extraordinary scheme
communicated to him by parties who propose
to connect Placeryille with San Francisco by
railroad, Of which he says:
1t is to turn the cold shoulder on Sacramento
altogether, and build road almost ON an air
line for a distance of sixty-two miles from Pla-
eeryille to San Joaquin river, and at that pOr-
ton thereof where it intersects with the Old,
Middle and Mokelumne rivers, and where ships
of the largest burden may arrive in safety from
which place it is distant only forty-eight miles.
Here il is proposed to build a city, or rather,
here one will, in accordance with the laws Of
trade, grow up--not to the detriment of the
seaboard-but which will rob Sacramento and
Stockton Of much Of their present Importance
Sacramento especially suffering in this re-
spect. But then the whole State will be the
gamer, and here is a clear case where the per-
sonal interest of the few should and must
sucumb to the welfare Of the many. The site of
the city is above high water, without particle
Of fear of its ever being oyerfowed. Immedi-
ately in front Of the proposed landing, there
are six fathoms of water, and the tide according
to the Coast Survey, only rises and falls three
feet.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-01-09

The forces under Gen. Sherman, at Port
Royal, have taken possession of point on
tue railroad running from Charleston TO
Savannah. This is an important movement,
and depriyes the rebels of the means o
sending troops from one city to the other
to repel q sudden attack.

NARROW EsCAPE.-The Sierra Citizen gives
an account of a very uncomfortable cold bath
which the wife of Rev. w. c. Pond, of Downie-
vile, and DR.. Chase, took, few days ago. Mr..
and Mrs. Pond and DIR. Chase were crossing a
stream, on a log, when Mrs. p. became dizzy,
and the Doctor, fearing that she was about to
fall, jumped into the water, which was waist
deep, Mrs. 2. following. Some parties came to
the rescue of the wet ones, and they were got
safely on shore. A stoical fellow added to the
Doctors injury by enquiring if his boots were
wet.

FEDERAL PRIsoNERs.-A dispatch from
Columbia, S. O., says the Federal prisoners
from Charleston, including Col. Corcoran,
arrived at Columbia January lst. They
were probably removed from Charleston
from fear that the city would be captured
by the Federals.
