SOOTHING SYRUP,
FOR CHILDREN TEETHING,
w hich greatly facilitates the process of teething, by soften
ing the gums, reducing all inthimation, will allay pain and
spasmodic action, and is sure in reyuhitf. ihe J3oicch.
Dcpaul upon it, mothers, it icilt give rest to yuufadvts,
and lirlirf and Health to you. Infants.
We have put up and sold this article for over ten years,
and can say, in confidence and truth of it, what we have
never boen'able to say of any oth-*r medicine—never has it
failed, in u single instance, to » fleet a cure, when timely
used. Never did we. know an instanceof dissatisfaction by
any one who used it. On the contrary, all are delighted
with its operations, and speak in terms of highest commen
dation of its magical effects and medical virtues. We speak
of tliis matter “what we do know,” after ten years* expe
rience, and pledge our reputation for the fulfilment of what
we here declare. In almost every instance where the in
fant is suffering from pain and exhaustion, relief will be
found in fifteen or twenty minutes after the syrup is ad
ministered. • i>
This valuable preparation is the prescription of one of
the most experienced and skillful nurses in New England,
and has been used with never-failing success in thousands
nt cases.
It not only relieves the child from pain, but invigorates
the stomach anti bowels, convcta acidity, ami gives tone
and energy to the whole system. It will almost instantly
relieve Cripinp iu Vn lioivd.* and I Vi>td Odic, and over
come convubosns, which, if not spadi'ii/ remedi'd. end in
death. Wo believe It the htti and surest raucd'l in the
world, in all cases of Dysentery and Diurrluna in children,
whether it arises from teething or from any other cause.—
Wo would say to every mother who has u child suffering
tTom any of the foregoing complaints—do not let your pre
judices, nor the prejudices of others, stand between your
suffering child and the relief that will be ante —yes, abso
lutely-sure—to follow the use of this medicine, if timely
used. Full directions fur using will accompany each bat
tle. None genuine unless the fac-simile of CURTIS &

TO MY HUSBAND,
In tin* c;ilm evening, lone and still,
I sadly think of thcc —of thy high trust,
To meet thy Country’s need, to cruslij repel
The demons trampling low into the dust
Her sacred, holy Flag!
I dre-au! of dangers, lowering and dark—
Bangers oncircliig thee, ray earthly all!
And trembling shrink, lest battle’s fatal mark
Should claim thee victim to the thrilling call
Of our torn, bleeding Flag!
Trusting, I look to God! and, ■weeping, bid
Thee, in this hour of trial, urJUnchwg meet
Those traitorous heart?, forgetting, in their pride,
Their Father’s brave, whose spirits sad, entreat,
Their glorious Flag to save!
Through dangers manifold, and seas of blood,
Our Fathers pressed, this glorious boon to wave,
Unstained, unspotted by rebellious flood,
> O'er our bright homes; above the Patriot’s grave,
Our broad, striped, starry Flag I
Then go—and if to meet Death's cold embrace.
Go!—e’en though this heart vow bleeding, break I
Our Country’s sacred honor, glorious praise,
Must yet resound o’er earth—must proudly’fioat
Her sacred, bloodstained Flag.

THE BATTLE AT BOONEVILLE,
Booneville, June 18.|— The boats
moved up to a landing eighth miles below
Booneville, on the south side of the river.
Here they fastened to the shore, and the
troops were debarked. A farmer at work
in afield near the landing stated that the
enemy were in camp four amd a half miles
from that spot, or three and_ a half miles
below Booneville. The levePbottom land
of the Missouri was here half a mile in
width to the bluff, but it gradually nar
rowed as it extended up the river, until
it terminated where the bluff came to the
water’s edge, two miles from the boat
landing.
The road followed for a mile and a half
along this,bottom and then ascended the
bluff. The latter is a range of, low hills
or ridges, about two hundred height j
which are separated by ravines,\some of
them with quite precipitous sid< The
order of proceeding was as follow ;; Ten
mounted men, the only cavalry ir the ex

[independent in everything.]
the battle was over the sun shone out as
clear and bright as ever. As the column
ascended the bluff, the pickets of the en
emy were seen and driven in.
After an advance of three fourths of a
mile, one of the advanced guard rode has
tily back to the head of the column, and
informed General Lyon that the whole
body of the State troops was drawn up a
few hundred yards in front. General
Lyon at once ordered the regulars, under
Sergeant Griffin, to the left, and Captain
Schultz’s riflemen to the right. Captain
Totten's battery was ordered to the front
to occupy the road.
The enemy were drawn up about three
hundred yards in advance, on the crest of
a hill, or rather a long swell or ridge,
over which the road passed at the highest
point. The road was occupied by Colonel
Marmaduke, with a small body of horse
men and a battalion of infantry. Imme
diately on his left was a brick house tilled
with rebel troops, and back of this, to
wards the river, was a narrow lane, where
his left wing was posted.
To their rear was a wheat-field, and in
this was miscellaneously scattered small
crowds of men, apparently without order
or regularity. To his right was another
wheat-field, separated from an adjacent
corn-field by a worm fence, and behind
this fence his right wing was posted. As
soon as our men were in position, Captain
Totten unlimbered a twelve-pounder and
a six-pounder, and sent a shell from the
former into the midst of the men occupy
ing the road. A puff of smoke rising
from among them showed that the gun
ner’s aim had been true.

The next shell was directed against the
squads of men in the wheat-field, and
caused them to make a* hasty retreat. —
The fire now became general along the
whole regulars on the right and
the German troops on the left advancing
in good order. Our line was formed on a
ridge similar to that occupied by the ene
my, and parallel to it, separated from the
dattcr by a valley with a gentle descent on
either side. To our left was a cprn-ficld,
and on our right a copse or grove of scat
tered oaks.
%
The regulars advanced In the corn-field
to, the crest of the ridge, creeping up the
latter and firing when an opportunity oc
curred, taking for their motto that of an
Irishman at Donnybrook Fair,' “ When
ever you see a head hit it.” The hollow
between the ridges was full of scattered
oaks, and these served as a cover to our
men. Captains Stone, Colej and Caven
der,Swcre sent to support the right of the
regulars, and in this way they all advanced
to the fence where the enemy were at first
posted.
The battalion .Second^sup
ported by 'Captaius Maurice’s, Burke’s,
and Yates’ companies, were at the same
time doing good work on the right; and
in twenty minutes from the time Captain
Totten fired the first shell, the rebels were
in full retreat and our men occupying the
line first held by the enemy. The house
on the right had been completely riddled
by the last shots from the battery, and
one shell burst in the very centre of the
building, at a time, when it was full of
soldiers.
Several dead bodies of the rebels were
found in the wheat-field near the
showing that our fire had been effective.
In fact, at the first volley from the right
wing several saddles were emptied of their
riders, and two horses galloped over to
our lines. The correspondents of the N.
Y. Herald and St. Louis Democrat en
tered the battle on foot by the side of the
battery, but were very soon mounted,
having succeeded in capturing these run
away steeds.
From this point the Union troops pro
ceeded, still in line, for nearly a mile,
over ground somewhat uneven, but not
rough. In a grovq at the entrance to
Camp Vest the rebels made,a brief stand,
but two shells and a few rounds of Minnid
balls speedily dislodged them, and they
fled in tumultuous haste toward Booipe
ville. Captain Cole, supported by Chp
taip Miller, entered and took possession
! of the camp, capturing a large quantity
I of provisions, ammunition, rifles and camp
equipage. He secured one secession flag,
! one lone-star flag, and one State flag with
fifteen stars. >''*
The number'of killed and wounded on
the part of therebles has not and proba
bly will not be accurately asertained. —
Many’of those fighting on the rebles side
were -‘loose men,” not enrolled in any
company, and fled in large numbers not to
any rallying point, but directly home,
thinking, doubtless, that there was some
mistake about the popular belief that the
Union troops arc, cowards.. Out of one
company (Capt JJcCulloch’s Cooper Go.
lliflcs) thirteen are known to be killed
and several wounded.
The number of dead alread brought in-J
to Booncville, or taken to friends in the
country, cannot tall much short of fifty,
and the wounded now heard of are as
many more. Several shells were burst di
rectly in their midst, and the Minie balls
flew thick and fast from tho rifles of our
soldiers, so that the mortality list must
have been quite large. On the side of the
Union troops, there were three killed, ten
wounded, and one missing.
We took eighty prisoners, nineteen of
whom have been released, and the remain
ing sixty-one put on board the Louisana.
During the engagement Rev. William A
Pile, of St Louis, chaplain to the First
Regiment, was furbished with a detail of
four men to look after the wounded. De
scending to a ravine he came suddenly
upon a party of twenty four , rebels, and
peremptorily ordered them to halt and sur
render.
They evidently considered discretion the
better part of valor, and at once threw up
the sponge, i e, took off their hafs, and
laid down their arms. The parson soon
after reported himself to General Lyon,
with his twenty four prisoners, guarded by
four men and himself The story is pretty
well’circulated among our bdys, and the
chaplain is looked upon (if his clerical
neck choker will allow the expression) aa

“SHARPE’S” THE WORD!
I recently procured a Sharpe’s rifle.—
Sharpe’s the word. Breech-loading. It
is a good thing to have in a - family, in a
war time. Said .1 to that estimable woman,
my wife. He that careth not for his own
household is worse than an infidel, or
something like it. I dare sav you can find
the, passage if you look for it. : It is a
beautiful trait, finely seen in the least spe-
cimens of the brute creation. Have a scar
on my hand where, fifteen years; ago, a
woodchuck advertised the fact ifa three in-
He cured for his house, he did,
sertions.
and it was the worse for me that I-was an
infidel on that point, and put my hand in-
to his hole to draw him out.
My Sharpe’s rifle cost me §6O, Eastern
currency, paid for with my .even check of
SIOO, on Messrs Sort & Company,- ray
Chicago bankers; this of itself I thought
rather a sharp rifle, but then said I, all
for country. I took the weapon in my
hand and admired it. It had none of the
high flashy sheen of burnished metal and
varnished wood, seen in our conimop shoot
ing irons, but the tone of the clouded bar
rel and black walnut stock was eminently
quiet and respectable, made for service.
This, said I, shall be an . heir loom in my
family. Decidedly; I shall hand this
down to posterity, as a memento of these
times.
Thus armed and equipped I went home
to that estimable woman, my wife. “My
dear,” said I, “this is a Sharpe’s /ifle.”
She immediately sent our girl Jane into
the room overhead with the baby, a move
ment I saw she regretted when she ob
served how studiously I kept the muzzle
pointed at the ceiling. “Oh, if it should
go off,” said she. “It is not loaded,”
said I. Then I called her to notice that
these were times when it was a good thing
to have weapons in the family.
Said I, “My dear, this is the celebrated
Sharpe’s rifle.” Such as. they used in
'Kansas?” She asked. I assured her it
was the very same. “ But the piece has
uo ramrod,” said my wife. “Hhat,” said
I, repressing a gleam of gratification of the
ponciousnessof superiorknowlcdge,” is be
cause it is breech loading.” “Is it,” said
she quietly, and was leaving the room. —
I was burning to show my newly-ac
quired familiarity with the wonderful wea
pon, and felt piqued because she had so
little curiosity. “If you will sit here, iuy
dear, I will show you.”
“In this broeeh-loading. rifle, the lever
moves just so, and that thingumbob there
flics back, and if you look now your eye
can follow the fine rifle twist of the barrel.”
“ I see,” said my wife, “ but I am afraid
the piece is loaded.”
“And yet, estimable woman, you are
looking straight through the barrel, now
an open tube from one end to the other.”
“ How do you touch it off?” asked my
wife. “ That, my dear, is a beautiful pe
culiarity of this weapon. The percussion
caps are all concealed here under the ham
mer, and are automaton primers.”—
“ What is that?” said she. “Self-acting,”
said I. Then I slid back a spring to
show her, and out flew a small shower of
percussion caps; “ I shall dp this better
in time,” said I.
“Now, my dear,” said I, oracularly,
“ This beautiful firearm carries a minie
ball. I can fire from eight to ten shots a
minute, at a mark from a mile to a mile
and a half distant. Think what a weapon
tnis will prove in case of an attack.” My
wife was so charmed that she insisted that
she herself should learn bow: to fire it.—
/“ A mile and a half said she. “ Then you
could hit a man somewhere in the vicini
ty of Bull’s Head.” I made a little esti
mate and thought it might be done.
“ There is one objection that strikes
me,” quoth my estimable wife. “ You arc
so very near sighted, ijuy dear I Don’t
you recollect that you cannot distinguish
persons across the street, and often ask
me whether it is our dear doctor that is
sitting in the desk ? How are you to see
to hit a man a mile and a half off?”-
That is indeed an objection,” said I, “ blit
that may be obviated by the use of a glass.
H«iall procure one at once.”
A few days after, I went home earlier
than usual and took my Sharpe’s rifle un-

der my arm for a little practice. Said I*l
shall go to the quiet suburbs, and there get
up my target practice a little. I took my
■wife’s opera glass with me. I selected a
rectangular bit of board, and attached it to
a fence, and sweeping the field of vision
with my glass, saw nothing to prevent my
making a few pretty shots.
As the piece and I mechanically were
on familiar terms already I loaded it with
out difficulty. Shutting the Minieballin
bis chamber, “ Golittle one,” said I, sight
ing through the opera glass as I took aim
at the board. Laying down the piece, I
ran towards the board. It was a good run
—quite a little distance, in fact. That
board I found whole—there was not the
trace of a Minnie ball to be seen. “Deci
dedly,” said I “that ball has gone astray,”
and again I swept the field with my glass.
This time I was struck with the contor
tions and antics of a red cow a quarter of
a mile away. She was trying to get up,
with strong tendency to lie down. To my
naked eye she was invisible, With my
glass I saw her lie down and roll Over
on her back. A suspicion flashed across
me —a new light on the subject of long
range guns.
I have paid thirty dollars for that cow;
my Sharpe’s rifle has thus cost me a sum
you can estimate from data I have given
you. I begin to suspect that it is less an
acquisition to the family than I thought.
Sure enough one might be called to shoot
a burglar, but then the later doings of the
ball, which might travel a mile after pas
sing through the burglar, arc not very
pleasant to contemplate in a city. I doubt
if I am as happy with my Sharpe’s rifle as
a family piece as I fondly hoped I should
be. On a war footing, in the tented field
you know, it would be a capital thing, said
I. “If one wasn’t nearsighted,” said that
estimable woman my wife, “ for he might
kill a cow or his own general officer,” said
she. I should use an opera glassy of —
course,” said I, nettled, I confess, as I care
fully rolled up my Sharpe’s rifle in an old
blanket. I have not disturbed it since—■
I am ready for enemies at a mile and a
half, however.
ANBDOTE OP GENERAL SCOTT.
The Lancaster Examiner tells a good
story of General Scott: —“Several days
ago the General was called upon by a Vir
ginian, whom he recognized as an old ac
quaintance. The visitor, after taking a
scat, frankly acknowledged his'allegiance
to the Southern Confederacy, but presum
ed that as he came a messenger of mercy,
he might safely claim by the courtesies of
war a friendly protection. Upon an assur
ance of entire safety he told his story
thus: ‘I am in allegiance with the Con
federate army, to which I have liberally
supplied men, and money, and arms; and
whilst I justify and support a resistance
to the northern invasion, my individual
sense of honor arid personal respect for
your military greatness impelled me to
hazard my life in crossing the borders that
I might frankly tell you that in a den of
conspirators plotting your assassination;
there is one who, at regular intervals,
without suspicion or arrest, visits your
camps and communicates with your on
cers. From my own personal knowledge
he has, under the guise of,.patriotic devo
tion to the Government, removed every
obstacle, and he has thoroughly perfect
ed his plans. God only knows at what
moment they may put them into execu
tion and you bo assassinated.’
•‘The General gratefully thanked him
for his friendly devotion, and asked a des
cription of his treacherous murderer,
which was given him in detail. After the
departure of the chivalric Virginian, the
General, instead of being shocked, appall
ed or horror struck, merely smiled, which
to his Secretary was incomprehensible,
who anxiously inquired what it all meant?
The General’s reply was: ‘That Bob again;
he is beginning to murder me as he did in
Mexico. Bob’s a good spy, but he sb of
ten unnecessarily troubles my friends that
he must stop it.”
Desire for Water. — A participator
in the fight at Great Bethel, gives the fol
lowing idea of the risk a soldier will ran
to obtain water upon the battle field: —-
“Some of us have had very narrow chances
for life. In the course of the fight sever
al of us ran across a road along which the
cannon of the enemy were constantly
playing, in order to get water. (I find,
by the way, that on the battle field a man
will risk his life, without hesitation, for
water.) Having got it, wo were waiting
to rush back again dodging the ballsin
order to do so. Our First Lieutenant sang
out, “Don’t so many of you come at once.”
I, with some others, stopped to allow the
next lot to pass. They made a rush, and
when nearly across, a cannon ball came
whizzing along and killed four men, mow
ing them down instantly.”
