This is to certify that went to see Mrs. Manches
ter last March with daughter of mine troubled with
spinal disease for which she had been doctored for
five years, and by number of physicians of all
kinds; and she has had twenty-one applications of
electricity applied, but all to effect; but she con-
tinuay grew worse. l came to the conclusion. as
the last resort, to go and Mrs. Manchester, and
did so and to my great surprise she told the first
cause of the disease and how she had been from time
to time, which encouraged me to try her medicines.
1 did So and now my daughter is able to be around
the house all of the time. She also rides ten if-
teen miles without any trouble or Inconvenience, and
think in short time she will be restored to perfect
health. Since my daughter has been doctoring, /
have heard of great many that Mrs. Manchts-
ter has cured. think if any person deserves pat

of the sick and suffering; and know that she uses
every effort which lies in her power to benefit her

TREATISd A FRIEND AND WHAT CANE OF
1.-TWO or three days ago couple of men
named Patrick Collins and - Watts, came
from Hudson to this city on pleasure trip.
It was rather an unequal thing for Watts, a
he paid all the bills, Collins having no mon
ey. Watts (his name) allowed Collins to
owe him for the sum invested for his pleasure.
It wasn't 'fColIins' Ode to the PASSIONS"
but Collins o,oed to Watts. Don't you see
They remained here two or three days, visit
ing all the places Of attraction in the city,
Watts pulling out his pOcket-bOOk with
reckless alaCrity for the purpose Ofdefrayiug
the expenses of their princely drunk. The
noble Watts was exceedingly free with his
money, and was frequently overheard to
anathemetize the expense. On Tuesday
night they paid visit to Canal and River
streets, calling at the gorgeous palaces dedi-
Gated to Bschus and the Graces, which adOHa
those classic avenues. Watts imbibed so
much of the nectar that his brain reeled, and
be uttered words that no mortal ever heard
before. His perOration bordered on the sub
lime-he said " let's all take u drink y
In defraying the expense incurred by the
remark, he took out his pOcket-boOk, and
laid it down upon the bar. Collins seized an
opportunity when Watts was abstraeted and
pocketed the pocket-boOk. Watts didn'tno-
tice the occurrence, and the two men went to
thtfr lodgings and slept together. Grey-eyed
morn brought reflection, remembrance, re-
morse, and a headache, as usual after such
violent enjoyments as Watts had psr-(hic)
dissipated in. He missed his pOeket-bOOk,
and charged upon Collins that he had taken
it. Collins said he knew where it was, and
would go and get it for him if he would re-
main where he was for an hour or so. Col
Inns went off, but didn't return at the end Of
one hour, or two, or three. Watts went in
pursuit of him, after informing the keeper of
the lodgings of the circumstances of the case.
In the afternoon Collins came back to the
lodgings, and the keeper detained him, say
ing that he could not go until he had restored
the money that he took from Watts. He
produced the pOcket-boOk with $40 in it.
This was not satisfactory, as Watts claimed
that the pocket book contained seven Eve
dollar bills, and nearly six dollars in scrip,
&c. A policeman was sent for whe took Col
Inns into custody on a warrant for gVaRd lar
ceny. He is in the Watch House awaiting
examination.

About 400 rebel cavalry, enesmbed near

track of the Baltimore s Ohio Railroad ;
but their designs we're frustrated by a
band Of the Independent Rangers, who
drove them off.
We learn from headquarters at three
o'clock this morning that Lees whole army
was moving rapidly in the direction Of

E#ell, who had moved in the direction
of ofCumberlsnd, fell back and followed Lee.
There is no force now at Martinsburg but

The GRAPE CROP SAFE.-The Sandusky
Register says: "Though there has been some
considerable alarm as to the safety of the
grape crop, and though there have been re-
ports circulated far and noar as to its prob
able failure in this region, we arc happy to
say that what little alarm there was felt a
few days ago, has noWsubsided. As yet the
grape crop on the Islands, as wen as the
inainlands, is almost completely snfo. Some
little rot has been seen, but we have it from
those who have recently made extensive e1-
aminations, that there is none now to be
seen. Nor is this all. Since grapes were
cultivated here, they have never before
promised SO finely. They are doing re-
-markably we'll, and the crop at this writing
promises to be unprecedented"

The Old North SO. -

The Old North State. i --a'
We are led to conclude from the almost
daily reports now coming up from North
CarOlina, that reaction, thorough, deep,
and radical, is going on there in favor Of
return to the old Union. Il should be
borne in mind chat this Slate has been
from the start the least hearty in the re-
bellion Of any Of the seeded States.
Dragged and forced into the rebellion by
the power Of the ruling class, its masses
have never been hearty or cordial in sup
porting lhe plans Of the cOnspirators.
This the rebel leaders, themselves, have
well known, and for this reason have never
put full confidence in the North Carolina
regiments, pressed under their meroiless
oonscriptions into the rebel service and
hence, It is alleged, these regiments have
uniformly been placed in the frOntrank Of
battles, where lukewarmness would not
serve them, where there would be no op-
portunity to straggle, but where they
would be compelled to fight or die-self-
preservation being the instinct Of the
b1ttie. Thus have North Carolina regi-
menis been made to suffer terribly, and
more, in comparison than the regiments of
other rebel States. This has caused pro-
found dissatisfaction in the old North
State, and now serves as vigorous stim-
ulant to the reaction so visible in behalf
of reconstruction Of she old Union.
The Raleigh Standard is in favor Of the
reconstruction Of the Union, and thinks
it probable that terms Of a reconstruction
between the North and South will be the
adoption of gradual emancipation sys-
tenn by all the reBellious States, which
North Carolina, in common with the other
slave States, will accept if the United
States Government insists upon the same
as the only terms that can be granted, not
witbstanding the life of the institution is
not in the least impaired by this war, as
is generally believed at the North. Meth
ing but a great standing army between
masters and slaves could impair the insti-
tuition, over which is thrown the shield of
State and municipal laws, together with
the inherent will Of the Southern people.
Hence, these are the cheapest the Govern
ment can offer, and the best the South can
accept"
