4 GOOD NOMINATIONS.

The Republicans of this Congressional
District have rendered the nomination Tor
Congress 20 Judge Hubbard Of this city.
We have always differed with the Judge
politically, but we regard him by far the
ablest, 6ttss. and safest Republican in the
District for the position te which he has
been nominated. The people Of this jn-
dicial district will be sorry to lose the
Judee's services on the bench--a pos ition
which he has filled with honor to himself
and satisfaction TO them.

THE RATTL e

Near Culpepper seems to have been die
tinguished by desperate fighting. So far
the Federals forces undoubtedly have the
best Of the struggle.
Gen. Jackson chose his time and place
Of attack, and although bis force was
greatly superior, 10 was repulsed, and the
Geld left in possession Of our army. 1t is
evident that the rebels were defeated, or
they would not have sent in flag Of truce
for the burial OF their dead. Jackson will
not b allowed to escape without more
severe fighting so that We may look for
stirring news from the Shenandoah in o
few days.

All the Editors and printers Of the Iowa
Valley Democrat office, at Marengo, have
volunteered for the war. Everywhere
Democrats, like CoNSELLy and SARGENT,
are giving their money, and time and
lives, if need be, for the suppression Of
the rebellion. And yet the Democratic
party is designated, by the Dubuque Tmcs,
as the treason party"

VOLUNTEERING.

There is the liveliest interest manifested
all over tho State in procuring and pro.
noting enli,tments. This 10 a. it should
be. The Government, in ito peril, has
called for more men and they must be
furnished and that speedily. 1t is no time
for delays or disputings. In another col.
umn will be found the proclamation Of
Gov. Kirkword, to which We call especial
attention. 1t is IN appeal TO the patriotism
Of our people, and deserves wsrm--gen.

Let our quota be supplied by all means
voluntarily and Mt by CONSUMPTION. If
government is not worth fighting for. it 10
worth nothing. By volunteering you give
greater moral strength to our cause and
infuse new zeal into our so!diery. Besides.
volunteering has much TO commend it in
pecuniary point Of view. We are all

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out for general use should
have their efficacy estab shed 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
poor nostrums and cure-as, purpOrting TO be the
best In the world which are not only useless, but
ALWAYS injurious. The unfortunate should be PAR
TIcUIAR in selecting his physician, as 1t is lament
able vet ncontrOvertible fact that many syphitic
patients are made miserable with ruined constitutions
by NAL treatment from inexperienced physicians IN
general practice for 1t is point generally conceded
by the best syphiographers, that the study and man
agement ofthese complaints should engross the whole
time Of those who would be competent and successful
in their treatment and 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 ndiscriminate use OF
that antiauated and dangerous weapon, mercury.
More caution, however should be used by the esyph-
tic 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 kn0w-
edge These knavish rascals iniest all large cities,
and by means of their lying advertisements and pos
ters they induce the unwary to enter their Peter
Funk constitutions, f." and numerically fleece them
and poison them with mercury Persons living at a
distance in the country more apt to be duped by
the living notices of quacks than citizens.
In view of the above facts, Dr. j. G. YOUNG
would say that he is the only regularly educated
physician in California now advertising, who de-
votes his whole time to the treatment of venereal

A MODEL PROCLAMATIoN.-The present is
war of long winded proclamations. The
people would be glad, however, If our Gen

direct style which distinguished the fathers.
Witness The proclamation of old Ethan AL

mont, in 1870:
Proclamation: l, Ethan Allen, declare
that if the inhabitants of The town OF Gull
ford do not instantly and peaceably submit
to the constituted authorities of the State OF

TIE MILITARY Prison AT ALT0N.--A let
ter from Alton, Illinois, to o. NJ. Hatch,
Secretary of State, speaks as follows Of the
Military Prison:
The old penitentiary will make one Of
the best military prisons in the country.
Bunks have been fitted up within The prs-
"A for 1000, and in the outside buildings,
in the yard, for 1000 guards or prisoners
all alike. The old cooper shop sheltered
the 'regulars" last night-a guard of some
800 men-and they we're luxuriating be-
fore big wood fires, built in the cooper's
chimney places, around each Of which 100
men could easily gather. The cooking de-
partment Is admirably fitted up with patent
Hxings for boiling and baking, aud cof
fee making on a large scale. The eating
room is the same as used by the old prison
occupants The hospital has been remod-
eled and fitted up with hunks, and all the
conveniences for the sick, and looks com
Portable. The hunks for the prisoners and
guards are made of rough pine boards,
wide enough for two persons, with space
of two feet and half between each. The
prisoners are to sleep in these, without
straw or understanding but their blan.
kets. The corridors in which the banks
are constr ucted. have large stoves in spaces
left for that purpose, sufficient to warm the
whole. The cells will not be used except
for the refractory, as a punishment. Long
wooden trOughs with divisions every two
feet, are fitted up over the cisterns for wash
ing. The quarters for the guard are no
better than those for the prisoners. The
officers will occupy the prison dwelling.
The whole establishment has all the con-
veniences, 10 rough way, Of a first class
hotel, and better, uuquestiOnably, than
many Of the occupants have been accus-
toned to enjoy.

there Is particle of disease left in the system it will
break out some future time when least expected, OF
be handed down to an innocent offspring. Persons
who have been treated with mercury should be very
cautious in believing that they we'll for it is a
scientific fact thatt he mercury will mingle with the
venereal, and form disease great deal worse than
the original. All those who have reason to think,
by bad feelings, that they have been treated thus,
should consult DR.. Young, and he will examine their
cases and tell them at once how they stand.

LTTIE AND PRECIoUs.-Ev Everything ie
beautiful when it is little, except the soul;
little pigs. little lambs, little birds, little
kittens, little children. Little martin-box-
es of houses are generally the most happy
and cozy; little villages are nearer to be.
ing atoms of shattered Paradise than
anything we know of. Little fortunes
bring the most content, and lit hopes the
least disappointment. Little words are the
sweetest to hear, aud little charities Hy far
thest and stay the longest on the wing.
Little lakes are the stillest, little hearts are
the fullest. aud little farms the best titled.
Little books are the most read, and little
songs The dearest loved. Aud when nature
would make anything rare and beauful, she
makes It little; little pearls, little diamonds,
little dews.
Agur's is q model prayer. but then it is
little prayer, aud the burden of the petit
tion is for little. The Sermon on the Mount
is little, but the last dedication discourse
was an hour. The Roman said uiqi, Vidi,
,tf II came-saw-- conquered but dis
patches now a-days are longer than the bat
ties they tell OF.
Everybody calls that little that they love
best upon earth. We once heard a good
sort of o man speak of his little wife, and
we fancied she must be perfect bijou of a
wife. We saw her; she weighed two hun
dred and ten; we were surprised. But then
it was no joke; the man meant it. He
SOaId put his wife in his heart, and have
room for other things beside; and what was
sne but precious, and what could she be
Dut little.
