bier Of vessels are being loaded with cotton

count has been taken of the amount Of cot
ton, but II is believed it has been understated.

to bring it to this city.

they are not allowed to enter yet, and be-
sides prices for goods have been fixed. The

The unparalleled success which has attended
DR.. James practice in EUROPE, the United States
and New Orleans-tbe many remarkable cures he
has effected, which we're pronounced incnrable By
the most eminent ply sicans. ustifies him in of
ering his services to the confidence Of the un for
tunate.
The following are some Of the diseases termed
"Private," and which Dr. james permanently
eradicates. viz-Syphilis, primary, secondary
tertiary: Structures, Urethral Discharges, elect,
Gonorrhea, Nocturnal and Diurnal Emissions,
Sexual Debility, Diseases Of the Back and Loins,
inflammation of the Bladder and Kidneys, Rhcu-
,natism, Hydrocele, verecocele, Cancers, etc.
Diseases peculiar to Females such as Amenorr-
hea. Dysmenorrhagia Metrorrhagia, Chlorosis,
Nervous Debility, etc, successfully treated.
DIR. James long practice in New Orleans, and
the endorsement Of the Medical fraternity, and
the almost entire Southern press, should cow
vince the most skeptical that Dr. James can and
will perform all that he promises.
Dr. James would also call the attention espe,-
tally of those who have privately and improperly
injured themselves, in that secret and solitary
habit-which ruins both body and mind, unfit
ting them for both business and society, produc-
ing both Constitutional Debility and Impotency.
The following are some of the sad and melsn-
chcly effects produccd BY early habits Of youth Or
sexual excuses, viz: Weakness Of the Back and
Limbs, Pain in the Head, Dimness Of Vision,
Loss Of Muscular Power, Palpitation Of the

fearful effects on the mind are more to be dread
ed Loss of Memory, Confusion Of Ideas, De
pres ion Of Spirits, Evil forebodiDgs, Aversion
to Society, Self Distrust, Love OF Solitude, Tim
idity, &C., are some of the evils produced.
All persons afflicted with any Of the above dis
eases and symptoms, should not fail to call on Dr.
James, and be at once restored to perfect health.
Let false delicacy deter you, but call at once,
and save yourselves from the awful and terrible
consequences Of these much to be dreaded mala-
dies.

The opinion of the Solicitor of the War
Department, published last August, is repro
duced as az plicable to the present enroll
mcnt and the quota for 100000 men to sup
ply deficiencies under former calls. In that
opinion the Solicitor said: If the number
OF men were taken into consideration and
not their service, it is clear that the grossest
inequality would result in the respective
contributions in the different districts TO the
aggregate military service OF the country, at
each successive call, if accounts of service
preceding that call are made, and the calls
for quotas should be such as shall equalize
the amount Of service required from each
district in proportion to the persons therein
liable to military SERVICE that district
which in the present draft furnishes one
year men cuts up It's burden into 3 districts,
and shoulder only one part at the present year
and leaves the next to be met at the next call
That district which furnishes three years
men now gains at once in its account with
the Provost Marshal General, the same ben
eft as if it had furnished three times as
many for one year 1t is the duty OF each
district to furnish the full number of men
designated as its quota These men should
be received, whether for one, two, or three
wears service. Those districts which furnish
three years men now will be entitled to the
benefit thereof on all future calls.
THE House committee has accumulated q
