Caution to the Public.

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out for general use should
ha We their efficacy established by well tested expe-
rience in the hands of regularly educated physi-
clan. whose preparatory study fits him for all the
duties he must fulfill yet the country is flooded with
moor postrums and cure-alls, purporting to be the
hest in the world, which are not only useless, but
always injurious The unfortunate should be PAR
T1cUIAR in selecting his physician as 1t is lament
able vet iDcoutroveTtihle fact that many syphlitic
patents are made miserable with ruined constitutions
by NAL treatment from inexperienced physicians in
general practice for it is point generally conceded
by the best syphilographeTs that the study man
agement oftheSe complaints should engrOss the whole
time of those who would be competent and successful
in their treatment aud cure. The inexperienced gen
eral practitioner. having neither opportunity nor
time TO make himself sufficiently acquainted with
their pathology comOny pursues one system OF treat
ment, in most cases making an ndscriminate use of
that antiquated and dangerous weapon, mercury.
More caution however, should be used by thesyph
iltic patient in consulting nominal physicians of
the advertising class, as nne.tenths Of them are i'm
posters. who assume German, French. or other
names, and are without any claims to medical knCw-
edge These knavish rascals infest all large cities
and by means of their lying advertisements and pos
ters they induce the unwary to enter their Peter
Funk constitutions y and numerically fleece them
and poison them with mercury. Persons living at
distance in the country are more apt to be duped by
the living notices of quacks than citizens.
In view of the above facts, DIR. j. g. YOUNG

The Debt we are PIllng UP,

The New York Christian Advocate COM
ments on the National debt which this war
is creating as follows:
They tell us of an expense Of nearly sew
en- hundred millions in year. Can we ap.
preciate such sum? How little do we
know of the distance to the sun? Ninety
five millions of milesl Start railroad
train for such journey. Let it stop at no
planet for wood and water or passengers.
Place on it little infant. The infant be-
comes mar, reaches the allotted age of man
but earth is not reached. Let another take
his place place aud live bis three.score
years aud ten, another and another, anoth-
er, and still no pause for repairs, or to cool
its burning axles, the journeys end is not
attained. The 9th mans dying eges are
looking forward millions of miles for the
journeys end. But we are here talking Of
seven hundred millions and not nieety-
five.
Fer hundred years or more churches
have been gathering property in the Uni.
ted States. Subscriptions have been nobly
decided, dying men left their accumulatioAs
to their loved churches, and in all this time
the evangelical churches have got together
about fifty millions of property-not
enough to pay the price of victory for one
month.
We have missionary society. 1t gath.

pie. 1t throws its benefcent influences in
6uences into nearly every part OF the
world. But its whole yearly revenue
would endured the draft of the United

The New IrOnsides.

The iron.clad frigate is so far advanced
that she will make trial trip on Monday,
after which she will be taken to the Navy
yard and dismantled before proceeding to
sea. On Saturday the engines Of the frig-
ate we're in operation, and worked satisfac
torily. Her machinery is of great power,
consisting of two horizontal directing en-.
gines. with cylinders Of SO inches diameter
and 80 inches stroke, intended to make 85
revolutions minute, and to drive brass
4,bladed propeller of 13 feet diameter and
l8 feet pitch. The boilers are four ia mum.
Der, known as horizontal tubular, each be-
ing IL feet front, / | feet deep, and IL feet
high, of a collective force of 1000 horses.
Though the boilers and machinery and coal
bunkers occupy considerable space, there is
ample room for the officers quarters, and
tho accommodation of the crew. The New
IrOnsides has but three decks-the orlop
deck, 10 consequence of the light draft of
the frigate, being dispensed with. On the
spar deck the circles have been laid for the
pivot guns, and the joiner's work on it is
in very forward state. A number of join.
ers are at work on the gun deck, fitting up
the captains quarters. which are spacious
and we'll lighted. When furnished they
will present handsome appearance. No
other officer is allowed cabin on this deck
but all, from the lieutenant down, ere quar-
tered on the berth deck. The cabin of these
with the ward-rOoms, are all completedland
ready for occupancy. The total number of
officers on board is about 80. These include
the Commander, Lieutenants, Masters, Sur
Eeons, Chaplain, Engineers, Lieuteuants Of
Marines. Midshpmen, Masters Mates, Pay.
master and Clerk. Boatswain, Gunner aud
Carpenter. Though the IrOnsdes is the
same tonnage as the Wabash, she will not
carry as much of a crew, inasmuch as she is
TO be dsmantled before going out. The
armament of the frigate, consisting of l6
ll-inch Dahlgreen guns on the gun deck
and 2 200-pounder Parrot guns on the spar
deck, has been received at Yard, aud will
be put on board as soon as the iron car
riaXes are ready. The work on the outside
is SO nearly completed that few days will
be sufficient to finish it. This week she will
