From the E. f. CHi@ca:
11s~ihe question is often askrd--"Nl ly is ii
that Dr.. j. e. Young Is so successful. while other
advertising Physicians are failing from day to
daJW The answer must be or should be. plainly
apparent TO all; it is. that he nderet,rds 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 be is perfect master OF his profession,
and can insure all relief from their trouble; and
while others daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered,
his course is onward and upward. placing him at
the head of his arduous profession. SO great has
been bis increase of business that he has been
obliged to associate with himself two other phys-
clans, both of extended knowledge and practice.
We would advise all afflicted 20 call upon him in
preference to any ether Physician. We are in
formed that he treats entirely Oh the vegetable
system and will always warrant perfect cure.
His Office is 75l 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 their friends have been. by
some oil the charlatans who inlest the community
and who publish themselves as good physicians,
professors. etc. To all such We unhcsitatingly
recommend Dr.. j. G. Young. as physician in
whom all can place confidence. He is a man of
eminent and profound study a good surgeon. an
honorable man, and one who can sympathse with
persons in adliction. His standing s physician
and gentleman are both guaranteed-the first by
his medical works, which are an honor to heir
anthor, and the extensive and highly successful
course OF practice with which he has been honor
ed since his advent in California; and the latter
by his numerous patrons aud large circle of ac-
qualntances. We say to all afflicted, call on him.
as he will at once state the case to you, and you
may rely upon his jud gment. We like lis prin-

LOCAL. MATTERS
City Election.

Our annual City Election for Mayor, AL.
dermen, and two Police Magistrates takes
place next Monday Thus far but two
candidates have announced themselves
Arthur LOCKWOOD and CHARLES q. MIELER,
Esqrs-both for police magistrate As de-
legates We're elected in the wards generally
last evening to a city democratic conven-
ton to be held this eeening, to nominate
full ticket, other candidates may be pnt
upon the track
For mayor, the street talk runs in favor
of forcing the honor upon j. B. RICE, Esq,
certainly as good man as we can want,
but if any other good democrat wants the
office, we presume the convention this eve
ming will accommodate him with a nomi-
nation.
The republicans profess to be entirely
out of the ring, but it may be well to keep
an eye on them in the different wards, lest
they may try the old game of stealing
some aldermen.

Flag of the IEth Illinois,


The beautiful flag presented to Col. Wal
lace's regiment by the ladies of Ottawa in
May last, was brought back last week by
the gallant Adjutant of that regiment
Lieut. c. f. D. DICKET-in a decidedly di-
lapidated condition, evidently unfit for
re-eptering the field The SCOT and smok e
of rough usage by food and field had dim
med its colors, erst so bright and gay,
to 4 dubious uniformity of smutty brown,
nearly obliterating the stripes, while the
stars appeared to be promiscuously distri-
buted all over its surface. proving on close
inspection to be bogus stars, but genuine
bullet holes. The staff bore similar marks
of rough usage, presenting two bodily per-
forations, and dozen of honorable scars
1t was decided, on a consultation of the
ladies, that the glorious Eleventh had re-
deemed their promise to stand by Hatfag
as long as e star or stril e remained, and
deserved a new one The matter was
taken in hand by few active ones, and
the following shows the result:

no hesitation in renewing the pledge made ten
months ago to the ladies OF Ottawa, when re-
ceived ut their hands the starry banner which we
now recommit to their tender care.
Under this toll worn banner the 18th III. has
