Fs- The question is often asked-''Why is it
that Dr.. j. q. Young is so successful. while 9TH
er advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day." The answer must be or should be, plain
ly apparent to all; it is, that he understands his
profession. and attends to it; and as his practice
increases, his knowledge extends. SO close has
been his application to his unprecedented prac-
tce, that he is perfect master of his profession
and can insure all relief from their troubles; and
while Others are 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 his increase of business that he has
been obliged to associate with himself two other
physicians both Of extended knowledge and prac-
tice. We would advise all afflicted to call upon
him n preference to any other Physician. We
are Informed that he treats entirely on the vege-
table System, and will always warrant perfect
cure. His office is at 21O 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 of the charlatans who infest The communi-
ty, and who publish themselves as good physicians,
professors. etc. To oil such we unhestatingly
recommend Dr. ). Z. Young asa physician in
whom all can place confidence. He is u man Of
eminent and profound study, a good surgeon an
honorable man. and one who can sympathise with
persons in atfction. His standing as a physician
and gentleman are both guaranteed--th first by
his medical works. which are an honor to their
author. 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 and large circles of ac-
quaintances. We say to all afflicted cal on him,
as he will at once state the case to you, and You
may rely upon hisjudgment. We like his prin-
ciple-no cure no pay.


From Professor Hitchcock


have watched with more than ordinary zeal
the rapid progress of this young man in the in
tricate paths Of our profession. Few, with the
accumulation of years upon their heads, have
approximated to anything like the stand he has
fairly earned. Were ] the father of a much
more numerous family than l now boast of,
should not hesitate for moment should the SER
vice of physician be required, to call on Dr.. J.
Q. Young, having full confidence in his capacity,
La very important adjunct to.a physician] and
recommend my friends to do the same.

see by the newspapers since 1 arrived from
England, that there appears to be some ILL
feeling expressed towards me in this country
for the part took in the late fight between
Sayers and Heenan. For the opinion enter
tanned of me by the fighting fraternity / care
but little, but 1 do wish to have myself placed
in proper light before the public, and with
that object in view L address you these lines


In the first place, the part took in the fight
was purely busiress one, not thinking for a
moment that it would prove, such a national
affair. Heenan himself said it was no national
affair; he did not consider it as such. In bet
ting my money upon Sayers, and going to Eng
land to witness the fight, 1 did no more than
many others did, and why should be singled
out as target against which public opinion
should be directed / cannot say It is said /
cut the ropes, and was the chief instigator in
breaking up the fight Now. as far as cutting
the ropes was concerned, they were not cut at
all. The stakes were nearly pulled out of the
ground, and the ropes thrown down | defy
any one who was present at the fight to say
that ever opened my lips to make any dis
turbance from the commencement to the end
OF the fight. In fact, L spoke to no one during
the progress of the fight, but stood quietly by
and saw the whole affair without making any
demonstrations whatever


In reference to the fight itself and the cause
which led to its breaking up, and the capabili-
ties OF the men, prefer not to say anything
until Mr.. Heenan and his friends arrive home
L wish to give them an opportunity of replying
to any statement L may hereafter make. i
have seen it stated in one of the newspapers
that Heenan had authorized Mcdonald to chal-
lenge me. Now, l know nothing of this chsl-
lenge, except through the newspapers, and L
have nothing to say in relation to it mt present


1t was rumored that on my arrival at Boston
L was subjected to threats of violence by the
friends of Mr.. Heenan. 1 assure you there is
no foundation for such a report. 1 passed
through Boston as quietly as any other citizen
and arrived in this city on Friday evening

dancing, it is pretty much determined that ball

Dental mansion, for the accommodation of the
Prince and the distinguished members of his suite.

causes for anxious consideration. Much the largest

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN LOUISIANA. - A
Wealthy Planter Shoots his RVss Para
mour Dead, and Attenlpts TO XII bis Wifs.-
A recent terrible tragedy occurred on Black
River, in the Parish Of Lafourche. A planter,
says the New Orleans Della, who had very
handsome wife, of whom he had had thirteen
children, recently employed young Ken
tuckian as an overseer. His wife was a
Creole of very great personal attractions, and
it was soon Observed by the neighbors that
suspicious intimacy had sprung up between
her and the overseer. The husband was in
formed Of this by some of his neighbors, aud
for some time he would not credit it. At
last he determined he would satisfy himself,
and accordingly, notifying his wife of his
purpose to go to the city, he left his house
and, returning at night, placed himself in a
convenient position to observe her room.


1t was not long before he discovered the
overseer enter her room, and on looking
through the window discovered his wife in
the embraces of the said Overseer, she being
in her night-clothes. Waiting until the
guilty parties had separated, the inflriated
husband having provided a double barreled
gun, saw the overseer come out of the room
accompanied by his paramour and kissing
her, and was about to leave, when the hus-
band rose up and discharged one Of the
barrels Of the gun into his side, causing his
immediate death. The other barrel was di-
rected at his wife, butmissed, and she ran off
into the woods, and had not, up TO the last
news, been heard off. N

Miss HARRIET LANE DEOLINEs TO DANCE
With THB PRINoE.-Miss Harriet Lane will
not go TO New York; some say because the
President considers il would be undignified
in her, who is officially the first lady in the
country, to follow the Prince; which is a
very good reason for remaining at home.
Some say because she is unwilling to offend
the New York women by opening the ball
on the 18th of October; which is another
equally excellent reason for her NOT going.

GREAT CAVE IN MIssIss1Prl.-A fs-
male correspondent Of an Eastern pa
per writes from the Shubuta, Mississip-
pi Of wonderful cave near that place as
follows:


This cave is six miles long, extending
from Eucetta Greek, where we entered,
TO Chickasahs river. AT the river
there are air holes where the air rushes
in with voice like thunder. Mr.. D.
took rope with him, and went to the
distance Of a mile. He said that there
are shelves formed in the rock in the
cave shaped like a dog. AS the light
is held near it, it seems covered with
diamonds. There are several snakes
formed in the rock that are enough to
scare anybody, they are 80 natural.
Tho cave is from ten to fifteen feet wide,
and is between fifty and seveuty-fve
feet high in some places, and SO dark
that you cant see foot before you. 1t
is intensely cold within the cave, and
very dark. If any one should happen
to loose their light in there, be would
never get out. Some Of the party went
very far in.

POVERTY THE PARENT OF FUN.-Pov-

never SO full of jokes as when he is le-

Wealth is tactiturn and fretful. Stock

hearty laugh than they would lend money

believer in compeusations. Those to
whom she sends wealth she saddles with
lawsuits and dyspepsia, The poor new

have a style of appetite that converts a

SHoCkTNG AccIDENr--1 Man killed
and Woman terribly munglcd BY a


ree,--A correspondent of tho Le1ing.
ton Dispatch, writing from Decatur
vile, Tennessee, under date Of the 14th
instant. gives the following particulars
Of terrible calamity:


AS some negroes were passing the
road leading from this place to Perry
vile, this morning, near Rushing creek
they were attracted by the cries Of fe
male, and upon examination found near
the road a womaa lying by the fire with
her husband, both confined by a log
across them. 1t appears that they were
travelling, and had stopped to camp, and
had built their fire near dead tree
which caught FIRE after they had fallen
asleep, and burning off near the ground
fell angling across them, breaking both
the woman's legs, just below the knee,
and killing the man almost instantly.
When interrogating the woman, we
learned that the tree had fallen across
them several hours before day, and that
Ter husband lived long enough to tell
her what to do after he was dead. She
said she called till she could call no lon
ger, for some one to come to her relief
after her husband died (not being able
to extricats herself). She also stated
that her maiden name was Watts, and
that her husbands name was Jefferson
Kelly; that they had been married
about three months, and were going
across Tennessee riv where corn was
cheaper.


When we reached the place where the
unfortunate persons we're, the scene was
most horrilging, and the cries Of the
poor woman when taken away from her
husband were enough to melt the most
obdurate heart.

HEAVY WoRK.-As an evidence Of the
amount of hydraulcing that has been done
at Timbuctoo, in this county, We would state
that gulch no less than 200 feet in depth
has been completely filled with tailings, and
good wagon road is now running over the
made ground. A tall pine tree, which stood
in the ravine, in all the pride of its perpen-
dicularity, is completely covered, in its erect
position from the sight. Truly, the noun
tains are being leveled and the high places
brought low. To see huge mountains wash
ed down and made completely to disappear,
is indeed a wonderful sight

We quoted, yesterday. from the Congress
sional proceedings of 1855, to show that
John c. Breckinridge, by his single vote,
killed the Pacific Railroad bill in that year,
and at q time when it needed only his vote
to have given to the country that great work.
He gave this vote, toe, under circumstances
of peculiar aggrayaton. AT the time that
the question was pending, and the final fate
of the bill was to be determined, Gen. Me-
Dougal, the able and eloquent then Repre-
sentative Of this State in the lower House Of
Congress, sitting near TO Mr.. Breckiuridgc,
who was then representing Kentucky, ap-
urgent manner, not to vote against the bill.
lie appealed to him in behalf Of his constitu-
ents in California, whose most earnest hopes
and wishes were wrapt up in that great
measure. lie appealed to him on the score
of personal friendship, and in the name of
every conceivable thing that he thought
could operate upon the mind of another to
stay his hand and save the bill. Mr.. Breck-
inridge was deaf to all appeal and stubborn
against all remonstrapce. He was opposed
to the road, he said, upon principle.


Need there be said any more than this
against John c. Breckenridge? Is not this
enough to politically damn him to all eterni-
ty, in this State? Opposed to a great ma
tional measure like this, upon principle
Stephen a. Douglas, of Illinois, is in taror
of it upon principle, and we are inclined to
think that his principles suit the atmosphere
and the spirit of California. viii we stulti-
fy ourselves by voting for man who is hos
tile to our interests? viii we SO far dis
grace ourselves as to support man who Is
opposed to the Pacific Railroad? The very
man indeed who interposed his vote and de-
feated the measure at the very crisis of its
fate and when his single age would have
started the iron horse upon his fiery flight
to the Pacific Surely, if Californians will
vote for such man as that, they deserve the
worst treatment that they could possibly re-
eeive at the hands Of their enemies. To vote
for John G. Breckenridge is to say that you
do not want the Pacific Railroad at all, and
that you prefer to do without it.


We do not believe thntthO people can so iai
forget their manhood and their self respect
as to support any such man.

Curious CAsEs or INSANITY. Friday morning,
says the Buffalo Commercial of tho 2lst, man
named Barney McMahon, with his wife and two
children, arrived from the West. and both man
and wife appeared insane, from some cause un-
known. The children were one and three years
of age. and appeared TO have been well cared for
until within short time. Tho Oyerseer OF the
Poor had the man committed to the Insane Asy-
lum. and tho wife and children to tho Poor House.
On tho way out tho overseer had one Of his asais-
tants along to watch the man, who was very wild.
His wiIo was observed to give him something
from her pocket, which he Immediately threw in
tho streets, and which proved TO be money. About
twenty shillings was recovered. The man, seeing
he was watched, said he would not not throw hts
children out; that he could have killed both tho
Oyersecr and his assistant had he chosen to do.
Immediately his wife handed him something else,
which proved to bc arazor This also was taken
from him. Wc learn from Mr.. Morse. tho Over
seer this morning, that he took every procaution
to prevent tho man from injuring himself took
all his clothes out of tho room, and everything he
could tear ur to hang himself with, visited his
cell two or three times before he retired LETT
