Reports, by letter, and otherwise, give
glowing accounts of the great extent and
richness of the newly discovered gold mines
in the Kootenay country. So the story goes,
but we have seen none of these letters yet,
and will be somewhat incredulous until we
are "made to see them" Any one who has
reliable letters in relation to the new mines
will confer favor by furnishing them for
publication in the STATESMAN.
The UMATILLA RESERVATION. The
people at Umatila city and vicinity are agi-
tadng the question of purchasing the reser-
walton from the Indians and opening that
country to settlement by the whites The
land comprising that reserve constitutes
nearly all the good agricultural land in Una
tilla county, and if purchased and opened to
settlement will undoubtedly become rich
producing region.
No election returns have been received
so far as we can learn, from the eastern pre-
cincts in Idaho. The news we published
last week in relation to Cannadv's maiori-
ties, is not deemed altogether reliable, as it
was based principally on surmise The Off
cial returns will probably be received at
Lewiston in time for US to get the result
from there by our next issue. ....o.I

bilisy 90 Assume the Offensive.
A very intelligent young man, refu-
gee from Richmond, who has been there
all through the war, and who only sue
ceeded in making his escape last Monday,
has arrived here and communicated to
the military authorities some very impor-
tant intelligence touching the rebel
armies.
In regard to the strength of their
armies be says there is much misapprehen-
sion at the North. He claims to have
good authority for stating that the strength
of Lees army previous to the sending of
the two corps to reinforce Bragg. did not
exceed 10000 efficient troops; that
Bragg with these rein oreements had not
over 10000 men, and that he only man
aged to defeat Rosecrans by surprise
and attacking his isolated columns
He further states that the story Of rein
forcements having been sent to Gen. Lee
from Charleston and elsewhere is totally
| Incorrect That there have been no
troops sent to Lee, except in the way OF
deserters and conscripts /; that none have
returned from Bragg's army, and to such
straits have the rebel authorities been re-
duced, that they are even forcing into the
ranks those persons who have provided
substitutes.
There was general feeling of despond
ency in Richmond, and the fact was free.
ly admitted that their armies were none
of them sufficiently strong to assume Of
fenslve operations with any prospect Of
success; and that the want OF men pre-.
vented Bragg from following up his sue.

The Rev. Doctor was on hand, as be

asked to make a prayer, which he did
with great JUNCTION, and with great effect

Latest Foreign News.

The London Times Southern cores
pendent paints everything in rebeldom
in glowing colors, though he confesses
himself panied at the sneers and animos-
ity against England which are so preva-
lent in the South. The Times makes a
great editorial effort to justify the Eng
lish sympathy for our Government. 1t
says
"There is not Northern State, or a
Ioyap city in which the sentiments con-
demned in us are not current. 1t is a
matter of notoriety that while the Union
lists can find no partisans in the South,
the Disunionists count their active adhe-
rents in every town in the North"
The Times remarks that the Confede-
rate States of America may now see
that Cotton is not King, and that ii
would be better for England to keep all
her cotton agents on pensions until they
were absorbed in other trades, than to
vary one point in her national policy.
The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times says. that additional rein
forcements, amounting to 10000 men
are declared to be indispensable to sue
cess in Mexico. The French will most
assuredly enter the capital sooner or la
ter, but not without a sacrifice greater
than ever will be made known.
There was a great popular demon
stration at Athens, Greece, on the 30th,

Who is Mrs. Winsl0w ?


As this question is frequently asked,
we shall simply say that she is lady
who for upwards of thirty years has I'M
tiringly devoted her time and talents as
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 result of this
effort and practical knowledge, obtained
in lifetime spent as nurse and physi-
clan, she has compounded Soothing
Syrup for children teething. 1t oper-
ates like magic-giying rest and health,
and is, moreover, sure to regulate the
bowels. In consequence of this article
Mrs. Winslow is becoming world re-
nowned as a 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 a common remark, 81 had
rather depend on Mrs. Winslows 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, aud we sincerely believe
thousands of children have been saved
from an early grave by IFS 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
Try il, mothers--try it now.-Ladies'
