Mrs, MANCHEsTER-Dear Madam When you
were in Bangor last summer, called to you with
chld oil mine that had been sick for four years. l
had taken her 10 a number of physicians, and none
could tell what allied her even her symptoms. You
examined her case, and told ME exactly her symp-
toms from the commencement OF her sickness, Which
were very peculiar; also told mo that there was
something alive in her, and also said there num-
Der OF them, and told me that she drank them from
rain-water cistern. You said that you woThl not
warrant a cure, but would try and do the best YOU
could for her. She commenced taking your medicine
in August last, and from that time until December,
the child has passed off large quantities OF what we
call Iddpotes, from rain-water, and think, and am
certain that the child must have died had not been
for you. And l advise everybody to see Mrs. Man
chester, for know that she has the power of know
ing the condition of person diseased better than any
PHYSICIAN tibet have ever heard OF MY child is now
perfectly healthy. Please have this published and
let the world know that there is one who practses

The RIGHT SPIRIT.-We copy from. the
WILLIAMSON IN. CO. Erpositor of Saturday last,
the following sensible article in regard to our
city. Let the same spirit pervade the interior
of Virginia, and in a few years we shall oullo
up mighty market right here on the Ocean,
that will save to the people of Virginia and
North Carolina alone hundreds OF thousands
of dollars annually in freight alone:
NORFOLK AND HER ADVANTAGES.
Nothing would give us more pleasure than
to SIZE the above city receive that patronage
from the people Of North Carolna-particu-
larly those of the Eastern portion OF the State
to which we think she is entitled. Though sit
uated in the bounds of another State, yet in
feeling and sentiment she is with us. She has
ever sympathised deeply in anything that
would rebound to our benefit, and has time
and again memoraized the Legislature of
Virginia, but without effect to cede her to this
State, with which her interest is intimately
connected. '
That Legislature not only refuses to let her
come to us, but denies to lend its aid in foster
ing as it should her trade, and whatever else
that might put her Oh the high road to pros
perty. Possessed as she is of one Of the best,
ii not the best, harbors in the United States,
she has fine facilities for becoming great ex-
porting city, and in return, if patronized as
she should be, could import goods of all de-
scrptions at as low figures as can be done In
any market North or South OF her. There is
no reason in the world why she should not,
provided she is the recipient of the trade and
custom she merits. She is almost as she were
at our own doors; but then, in one sense of
the word, that rather initiates against her
than being anything in her favor, for as peo-
pie are not 50 much disposed to sustain an in
dividual reared in their midst as they are a
stranger, 50 merchants and others have a great
penchant fer going a long ways from home to
make their purchases. and that, too, when there
is not a shadow Of sense in it, tz
The merchants OF Norfolk are willing to
give as much Tor produce as those of any
other city, and will and can if it be desired
pay for it i'll goods at as cheap rates as any
The advantages too of shipping from here to
Norfolk are exceedingly great. Being an in
land communication all the way, insurance is
not needed, and boats can and will be built to
take produce to market in eighteen hours
AS it is now, thrty-six houls are amply suffi-
cient to accomplish the trip. A line of COM
munication has already been established from
there to Europe, and steamers to other foreign
ports are about to be put to running. We
think she has a right to ask of us a trial be-
fore we buy elsewhere, and then if it be dis
covered that she cannot compete with other
cities in low prices why then it may be rea-
sonable to give her the go by. Not unless
she is weighed in. the balances and found
wanting. *aae

PERsoNAL.-We have received from the
British Consulate at Boston, Mass, note
inquiring the present whereabouts of Captain
Wilson, who, in his vessel the Minnie Schaffer
SO CALAMITY saved the passengers and crew of
Of the burning steamship Connaught, an Eng
lish vessel burned at sea. The Consul has in
his possession valuable water-color painting
entrusted to his care by the Peace Society of
London, for presentation to Capt. Wilson, and
for that praiseworthy reason he seeks some de-
finite information as to isipresent location.
We believe Capt. Wilson was an officer in the
gallant Confederate navy Perhaps some of his
late att0ches can furnish us with the desired
information. If SO, we will take pleasure in
communicating the same to the British Con-
sulate at Boston aa#E5 I.
We give the above from the Richmond E1-
amiaer, hoping it may meet the eye of Capt
Wilson, or some of his friends in this seaport
