A BESEFAcrKEss.-Therei is woman in the public

our mind, with the Yankee" "Quack," and
"Humbug." But it is so no longer, and we desire
to wrest her name from all such suspicious asso-

may have of womanly delicacy and propriety, we
will all admit, that woman alone is the Nurse-the
GOOD Nurse-the BEST Nurse Whether we shall
nave Female Physicians or not, is question which
must be decided by time and principle, and not as
d matter of taste. Pride, prejudice, caprice and

A MUriNy IN THE GARIBALDl GUARD. There
was great excitement on the other side of the
river this afternoon. 1t seems that about one
hundred OF the Garibaldi Regiment became dis
satisfied with the command and mutinied. Il is
said that the promises made them have not
been fully carried out. They were led 10 be-
lieve that rides would be furnished them instead
of muskste, and that they would be put In ad-
vance as regiment oflrangers. This evening
about one hundred Of them, fully Offered, leii
the camp en- route for the city. On the way
hither they stopped every one on tho road, pre-
senting cooked muskets to innocent parties
riding along, and compelling III to fall IN the
rear. This was to prevent ary information from
reaching Long Bridge, where the draw could be
raised and their passage impeded. They at last
reached the city, after Tightening many people.
On the fact being reported at headquarters.
troops were ordered out for their arrest, and IL
they do not submit they will be shot down.
GERMAN MuTINEERs.-A similar disaffection
occurred among Colonel Blenker's regiment
this afternoon. One company was marched TO
the arsenal to receive arms. Like the Carl
baldlans, they would accept nothing but rifles,
though the rest of the regiment we're furnished
with muekets.
Sixty-two of the company refused, and were
marched to jail where they were incarcerated
for disobedience of orders. This proceeding
caused no little excitement. 1t has not been
decided what disposition will be made of the re-
cusants. ' d" ~''''

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation :" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, "I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fecton, and their health is undermined by it,
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigoratc it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

A Lesson,

A troop Of Virginia horse succeeded in cap
turing 80 men belonging to Company Of the
18th Pennsylvania Regiment, on the Cd inst
This company was proceeding in advance of
General Negley's Brigade, and occording to our
account were engaged in examining the house
Of secession farmer at the time Of their sur
prise and capture. They were disarmed, their
hands tied behind their backs with the strars
of their canteens, and marched off at double
quick time to Winchester, where they are now
detained as prisoners of war. Immediate steps
should be taken to effect their exchange. Pos
sibly some of those persons who were recently
clamorous for the immediate hanging Of prison
ers taken from the rebels, may now be disposed
to retract their sanguinary counses when they
consider what would have been the terrible fate
of these unfortunate Pennsylvanians had the
Government invited retaliation by executing
rebel prisoners.
II Is to be hoped that this example will DOT
be lost upon the army, and that companies and
squads OF men will not be permitted to stray
away from the main body. The most rigid
discipline is necessary to prevent such occur
rences In the midst Of hostile country swarm
ing with detached bodies Of cavalry constantly
on the alert to intercept struggling bands of our
troops. - HdrTisbursh (Pa.) Union.

Compound Extract Of Sarsanarilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERUpTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PMpLEs, PusTuIEs

RHEuMAT1sM, SyPHIL1TIc and MERcuRIAL Dis
EASES, DnoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VIr1A-
TED Or IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in "impmity Of the blood" is founded in trath,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenorate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Rcmittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases originate
Ing in hillary derangement, caused by
the Malaria OF Miasmatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGuE from the system, and prevents the de-
yeopment Of the disease, if taken on the first an.
proach OF its premonitory symptoms. tits not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every bOdy and in bilious districts where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. Agreat superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that it contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
tion. Those cured by it are left as healthy as II
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of dsor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, GOm, Headache, Blind
ness, 1oothache, Earache, Catdryh, ASthma, Pal
pitatiOn, Painful Affection Of tho Spleen, Hystey-
ics Pain an tie Boioeks, Colo, Paralysis and De-
rangement Of tie Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the Intermittent
type, or become periodical. This Cure expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence 1t is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will ever suffer from Inter-
mittents II they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.
