Who is Mrs. Winsl0W ?


As Til, question is frequently asked,
we shall simply say that she is lady
who for upwards Of thirty years has UNI
tiringIy devoted her time and talents as
a female physician and nurse, principally
among children. She has especially
studied the constitution and wants OF this
numerous class, so generally overlooked
or carelessly treated by the faculty in too
many instances; and, as a result Of this
effort and practical knowledge, obtained
in lifetime spent as nurse and physi-
clan, she has compounded Soothing
Syrup for children teetbjng. 1t oper-
ates like magic-giying rest and health,
and Is, moreover, sure 10 regulate the
bowels. In consequence OF This article
Mrs. Winslow is becoming world re-
nowned as benefactor of the race
children certainly DO RISE UP and bless
her; especially is this the case in this
city. Vast quantities Of the Soothing
Syrup are daily sold and used here. IL
has got to be common remark, Il had
rather depend on Mrs. WinsIow's Sooth-
ing Syrup for my children, than to have
the united advice Of the medical faculty
of the city" We think Mrs. Winslow
has immortalized her name by this in
valuable article, and we sincerely believe
thousands of children have been saved
from an early grave by its timely use,
and that millions yet unborn will share
its benefits, and unite in calling her
blessed. No mother has discharged her
duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she has given it the bene-
fit of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup.

York Tribune in letter from the fed
eral camp at Pea Ridge, Arkansas, dated
18th inst, furnishes the following partic
uIars:
PRICE RAVING MAD.
Sterling Price is said to have bias
phemed and raved like a drunken sailor
and mailman after his retreat from the
field on Saturday, swearing that his
troops and those from Arkansas were all
towards to allow themselves TO be driven
off like licked ours, by one half their
number. He became so personally of,
tensive in his remarks that some OF his
officers threatened TO resign, and others
10 shoot him whereupon he altered his
tone, and asked to be pardoned for hasti-
ness of speech and loss of temper, result
ing from modification over so terrible
defeat.
For several months past, Price has
been excessively irritable and abusive,
and as he has recently augmented his po-
tations in geometricaI ratio, many of his
own men believe him insane, and think
him filter candidate for the lunatic
asylum than promotion in the army. He.
appears to have grown extremely morose
and violent Of speech and every new
repulse increases his frailty. He denoun-
ces everybody and everything; is as in
fammatory as gunpowder on the Yam
KEGS, and sometimes INDUCES in the ami
able wish that the entire country was
consigned to that mythical subterranean
region chiefly remarkable for its lakes of
sulphurous fire,
Price is hardly the man to become in
sane; he has too mach of the animal in
his nature but have no doubt he is
nader than the rayng dogs in the Vida;
and it must be confessed that the events
OF the past few months have not been
such as to improve tie natural inGrmi.
ties of his temper.
MCuLLocH's DEATH
Concerning the death Of McCulIoch|
and Mcintosh, there seems TO be but one
opinion. Both of them were MORALLY
wounded on Friday. during The heavy
dsbdng by Gen. Jed. C. Davis against
the center column Of Tie enemy. twill
be remembered the rebels gave way, and
the two Southern chieftains made the
most determined efforts to rally them in
vain.

It's reported that Mcintosh was struck
near therght hip With grapeahot, while
giving an order to one Of his aides, and
hurled from his horse. The wound was
CHASTITY one, and though it must have
been very painful, Mcintosh uttered no

The False Prophet.


The Editor Of the Register said, in his issue Of
July 18th, that "thc endorsation Of W. w. Holden
will be milestone around the neck Of any man to
whom it is given"
Our neighbor is false prophet We are happy
to inform him that Col. ZEBULoN BAIRD Vance has
been elected Governor of North Carolina by an i'm
mense msjority. gs1s4 p .si@siO7 % @Eag
In his paper of the same date our neighbor said ::
"ae (Col Vance,) is . capital good fellow, good
stump.speaker, and when you come to joketelling,
he is always "frst, and the rest are nowhere. !"
This is all that can be truly said Of Zeb." ,!
Is IL? But the people have said more than that.
They have said that Vance is man of head and
thought fit to be entrusted at this crisis with the
management of their highest and best interests.
Our neiehbor has told number OF talsehoods du'
ring the late campaign, and now he turns out to be
false prophet. How can any one hereafter place
any confidence in any thing our neighbor may say
Some people tell stories from habit some from
sefin.erest and others because they love to do So
The last Wilmington Journal says
awe see that the Raleigh Standard is out with
an extra for electioneering purposes, giving the
votes of certain regiments now in the field. These
votes are no doubt correctly given, but then they
are picked for the purpose, They give the Vance
regiments and omit the Johnston ones" =,
