PORTLAND DAILY PRESS. V0L- PORTLAND, ME., MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 29, 1862. NO ieQ PORTLAND DAILT PRESS, JOHN T. OILMAN, i JOSEPH B. HALL, t Kditor8* Is published at No. 82$ EXCHANGE STREET, in FOX BLOCK, by FOSTER, OILMAN and BALL, Under the firm name of N. A. FOSTE R A CO. Terms: The Portland Daily Press is published ever morning, (Sundays excepted), at S6,00per year in ad vance, to which will be added twenty-five cents fa each three months’ delay, and if not paid at the en1' fever and inflam mation of the bowels. There are now about 200 sick.in hospital and in quarters, many with measles. Most of the fever patients are re covering, aud soon our regiment will receive important accessions from the hospital, as we Horace C. Little and 1st Lieut. E. Mellen Wight, of Co. B, have resigned on ac count of Hi health. Wintlirop H. Hall, late Adjutant of this regiment, succeeds Capt. Lit tle as commander of the company^nd assumed command on breaking up camp 'this morning. Thp nppFRsIf.r which pninnplInH fhowe nctoAm. ed officers to retire from the service, is regret ted by all with whom they have been asso ciated, as their high character, correct deport ment and active exertions in behalf of the company had won them many friends. We hope that rest and exemption from severe ex posure will prove beueticial, and their health may be recovered. I read with much Interest, the reports in the Press of the lectures, debates and other public entertainments in your city during the current season, especially the debates at the Mechanics’ Library Halt Knowing so well as I do, most of the gentlemen who take part in those discussions, I relish keenly the point ed and sarcastic personal allusions to each other's political history in which they Indulge while the important ijuestion of emancipation Is before them. It is to be hoped that those who oppose the act of the President will en deavor to be reconciled to the event which. It is generally hoped, will soon follow the an nouncement of the Executive desire to free the country from the vilest curse, that ever rested upon any poitiou of the earth. No act of any President from Washington to Lincoln, was ever performed, so fraught with good-will to mankind, and especially with blessings to hb oppressed and long-suliering race, as the emancipation proclamation of Abraham Lin coln. Every person who is willing that hu man freedom and all the blessings of republi can liberty should be enjoyed by all meu, even at the expense of mere selfish and transitory interests, will uphold the government in its position. Those who hate ty ranny, who dep recate oppression in every form, will hail the auspicious morning of freedom to the slave with heartfelt gladness. The other class, such as deem party success motv desirable than hon est and humane administration of power, who can hurl terrible anathemas at the President and bis supporters, and are seemingly uncon scious of anything very obnoxious in the insti gators of rebellion, except because they suc ceeded in smashing their party political idols, —wicw iiuii'ucucvcn m eiiiaiiuip&uou puiian thropjr will continue to carp and find fault and oppose the government, even in its last ex tremity. Why is it? Because they are blind, not by reason of looking at the truth by its own reflected light, but that they have so long shut ^lieir eyes to facts, and their reasoning faculty bus become inoperative and unserviceable in proportion as their power of seeing things in a true light has become impaired. The “Rights of Man" is to them a meaningless dogma, un less it is defined to be “the power of a lustful, inhuman scoundrel to hold in subjection a few hundred dollars worth of human flesh”; and when you propose the expediency of negro emancipation, they talk of “the rights of prop erty,” and constitutional guarantees," and “the rendition clause,” ami sound all the notes ol their dolorous gamut, the compass of which is so small that to any cultivated intellectual ear it is not distinguishable from a monotone. Their soug is always in praise of the beauty and strength of republicanism, but it is that kind wherein n0 limitations are or should be placed upon tv lustful and domineering pas sions of man. They like good offices in the ar my und navy, and will be generally quiet sc long as gold or govetnm(>nt scrip continue tt augment their gains. The right of the black mau to himself, his jabor, his family, and his own intellect, are with these defamers, nowist in proportion to that of the white man. Wher w'li this moral obliquity of vision be cured' Who is the “great physician” that cau removt this cause of offence from the “right eyes” o so many blind and misguided men The Pres Went has certainly put in the knife with a stout purpose, ami if there has been any doubt heretofore in the minds of the opponents ol emancipation, as to the cause of the rebellion, they can “see it” plainly enough now, if they will look. The recent movements of the grand army cause much apprehension all over the coun try in regard to the speedy success of our arms; but we have no reason to fear any con siderable disaster, with a commander who seems to possess in so eminent a degree the r requisite qualities of a lighting general ns does Gen. Burnside. The worshippers of McC'lel r lan will, of course, be ready enough to say that 1 they “knew it would la- so,” and w ill prophesy evil in consequence of his removal. But just now 1 hear news confirmatory of rumors which have been current for n few days past, of the resignation of Gen. Bum side. This, if it proves true, will doubtless dampen the ardor of our soldiers, and the pall of jtloomy uncertainty will again hang over us for a season. The world looks on amazed at our stujiendous war establishment, nnd won ders that, with our preponderating strength and resources, the rebellion was not crushed long ago. But few realize the immense and determined hatred of the South for the Union government. Its seeds were sown when the i first slave was imported in 1(520. Strange co incidence! Liberty and Slavery planted dur ing the same year: and, after nearly two cen turies and a half, each with red hands upon the other's throat, struggling still for the mus r tery. Lilierty will triumph. Slavery mdst bite the dust. It may be long before we wit ness its hist convulsive throe, but its heart is pierced,'and with its downfall will tyranny the world over receive a vital thrust. Popular sovereignty—not the kind advocated by char latans and slavocrats—is to lie the basis of popular government; and no country can long maintain an internal peaee, when the law and the administration thereof are con ducive to the oppression of the masses. It never was so, and in the nature of things, it l is impossible to be. Subaltern. Cyiteports from Gen. Burnside’s army say that it leaked out while our men were engaged in burying their dead, that the rebel officers in command at Fredericksburg are to be court martialed for allowing Gen. Burnside to re treat, unmolested, across the Kappahannock. It is represented that had they known and taken advantage of our position, and shelled Fredericksburg—the streets of which were crammed with our soldiers, and the only means of escape three narrow pontoon bridges—the result would have been a wholesale panic, and loss of life on our side a thousand-fold more terrible than at Ball’s Blulf. jyjames Sheridan Knowles, the drama tist.died at Torquay, in Devonshire, England, on the 29th of November.aged78years. “Vir ginius,” “William Tell,” “The Wife,” and es pecially “The Hunchback," are the plays which have reflected most credit upon their author. Mr. Knowles has sustained parts in his own and other plays, delivered lectures on elocution and kindred subjects, officiated as a Baptist preacher, written some novels and two theological works, and been twice married.— Hequiescat in pace.

In addition to all the various forms of IVholi Life, Short Term, Endowment and Annuity policies which it issues, we invite speetU attention to a new feature in Life Insurance introduced by this Company some two years since, viz: the issuing of Life Policiei not subject to Forfeiture, and upon which the premiums cease at the end often years, whereby under any and all circumstances the money paid cannot be lost, but the original design of the assured be attained, either in whole or in part, in exact proportion to the amount of premium paid. No better evidence is needed of the prosperity and success of this Companv than the fact showu by the recently published official reports, viz: that IT ISSUED A LARGER NUMBER OF LIFE POLICIES DURING THE TEAR 1861, THAN ANY OTHER COMPANY IN THE UNITED STATES.

THE DAILY PRESS. POBTLAJTD, MAINE Monday Uornlng, Dec. 29, 1862. ___ The Portland Daily EreBB has the largest regular circulation of any daily paper in the city. The Advertiser tor 1863. A few weeks since the Press had occasion to allude to the prospectus of the Advertiser for the coming year, and make some remarks M to the real character of that paper. Had not its course been foreshadowed in the pro spectus it could not have l>een misunderstood. Us editor-in-chief boasts that, however timid others may be, he hits courage and dares pub lish his sentiments. The readers ol the Ad vertiser have hud timely and explicit notice that it will not only oppose the Administra tion, but openly justify the rebellion. As the rebels are fighting for slavery, the only ground on which loyal men can meet the Issue is that of freedom. Slavery and the re bellion are Inseparable. The President has be. come convinced that the only way to over come the one is to destroy the other. He hits to this end announced to the nation before the civilized world, that the coming New Yearshall be a year of jubilee to the slaves. With the morning light of its first day he will “proclaim liberty tbougliout the land to all the inhabi tants thereof,” and from that time the Ad vertiser will justify and delend the rebels in mlotueor inuaiic limit ttlftv POtfirl tfl fVir till* purpose of carrying out their infernal schemes. They may uot only continue to wage tbeir J abominable war, as they are now doing, blit they may resort to the most barbarous and savage measures of retaliation, as they threat- i en to do, and in the Portland Advertiser they will have an organ that will “dare” be their advocate and defender. In proof of this we give au eutire paragraph, with its original italics and capitals, from an editorial which j appeared in that paper soon after the Presi dent issued ills preliminary proclamation of freedom. Its language is such as to leave no doubt of its meaning, nor of tlie downright treason in the heart of its author: “When tiie Federal government shall, of its own measure, assent to, or aid in the destine- lion of any State constitution, or of any State institution rightfully existing under such eon- stitution, as does the institution of slavery, it becomes, itself, a party to a revolution;— and every citizen is justified in renouncing i and opposing it, from that instant, os on usur pation and a despotism, and no longer as the j government acting under, or by authority of the Constitution or the Union. There is i neither rebellion, or treason, or crime, or der elictiou of duty, in fighting such an usurpa- j tion, by all the means that God and nature have pul at the command of the States, or of individuals. One of “the meatts which God and nature will put at the command” of the rebels, if they see fit to use it, will be “retaliation.” This, indeed, they immediately proposed. Mr Semraes of Louisiana, introduced a resolution in favor of “retaliation” into the Confederate Congress, which was regularly referred to the Judiciary Committee. The following is the resolution, with a brief extract from the pre limina-y discussion on the same. Resolved by the t'ongveen of the Confederate Statert That the proclamation of Abraham Lincoln, Presi dent of the United States of America, .ssued in the city ol Washington, in the year 1862, wherein he de clare* "that on the tirst day I Jsuuaty, In the year of our Loid 18C3. all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated parts of -a Slate, whereof the people shall he in rebellion against the United State*, shall be henceforih and foievef free." is lev. nlli.,1 «ki. Vllol... and as such is a gross violation of the usages of cir ill zed warfare, an outrage on the rights of private property. and an in r it a ion to an aJrncums servile war. and therefore should be held uti to the execra tion of mankind, and counteracted by such retalia tory measures as iu the judgment of the President miV be best calculated to secute its withdrawal or ar rest its execution. Mr. Clark of Missouri, moved that the reso lution be referred to the Committee on Foreign Attairs. He was in favor of declaring every citizeu of the Southern Confederacy a soldier, authorized to put to deatli every mail caught on our soil iu arms against the Government. Mr. Semtnes, of Louisiana, said that the res olution had not (teen drawn without reflection. The question of retaliation was exclusively an Executive oue. to be regulated by circumstan ces. But it was proper that the Legislative Department of the Government should express its approval of the retaliation contemplated by the resolution. Mr. Henry of Tennessee, said that the resin lutiou did not go far enough. He favored the passage ofa law providing that, upon attempt being made to execute the proclamation of Abrahutn Lincoln, we immediately hoist the “black flag,” and ptoclaitn a w ar of extermi nation against all invaders of our soil. Mr. Phelan of Mississippi, said that he had always been in favor of conducting the war uuder the “black flag.” If that flag had been raised a year ago, the war would be ended now. Of the same character is the following pre amble and resolution of the Virginia Legisla ture, introduced by Mr. Collier of Petersburg: Whereas Abraham Lincoln. President of the L'ui ted States, by his teceut pioe'smstion, is acting in stolid contempt of the principle of ptoperty in slaves, which is no less consecialed in the l_ piled Stales Con •fittuiou than iu ours, and is aiming, by said procla mation, to excite a servile instil reetiou in our midst r Resolved, therefore: That no person, within this State shall be heui to have committed any offence against the criminal lew thereof, or shall In* tried or iaiprisoned, or be required to answer at auv time for an act done in driving from the state or potting to death, auv person with or without aims, who ma* he found on our soil, aiding in any tray to give effect to the fiendish purposes of said proclamation As strange as it may seetn, incredible indeed but for its own declarations, the Advertiser will justify these rebels in whatever they may do, even to the murdering of prisoners of war iu cold blood, as Clark and Phelan and Henry desire; or, moreover, to the same diabolical practice upon peaceful citizens, the “putting to death any person" found on their “sacred soli,” whether “with or without arms,” who is loyal to the government of the United States. And in all tins the Advertiser lias said, and of coarse continues to say, “there is neither re. hellion, or treason, or crime, or dereliction of dutyfor the government lias become “an usurpation,” which anything and everybody will be justified in not only opposing, but in “fighting,” and that, too, “by all the means that God and nature have put at their* com inaiid.” While our citizens may he obliged to tolerate the publication of such a treasonous paper at their New England home, is it at all surprising that they should refuse to patronize it? No wonder its proprietor complains of what he calls “an abolition raid” on its sub scription list. tv Our correspondent, “Kennebec,” who proposes that county or town lists of “traitors” he made out and printed for the information of future generations, has not elaborated his plan sufficiently. Before you can euroll your trai tor, you must catch him; and that, we need not tell “Kennebec,” is no easy matter, they Will lie so! They are all loyal by profession— none more so; and it is really matter for con gratulation that the temper of the people is such as to forbid any open declaration of sym pathy with the South. But, alter all, what purpose would the proposed catalogue s-ave? Will not the next and subsequent generations have quarrels enough of their own to settle? or must we provide them with seasoned,tough old feuds, all ready for use Be quiet, do! It U evident that those democratic politicians and papers that have been loudest In coinpluint because McClellan was removed, are smarting with rage because Burnside is likely to outride the storm they thought to raise. Hospital Reports—Alexandria and George town* Washington, D. C., Dec. 20,1862. Editors Press:—The inclosed lists em brace all Maine soldiers in the convalescent camp near Alexandria, In the hospitals at Al exandria and Georgetown, and who have been admitted since Novembers well as those discharged since November,and those who have died since the several hospitals mentioned were opened.

Borland, from Liverpool 11th and Londonderry 12th,arrived at this port about 8.0’clock Sunday morning. She brought 25 cabin and 04 steerage passen gers, and an assorted cargo for Portland, Bos ton, New York and Canada. The Bohemian touched at St. John, N. F., Wednesday. The steamship Caledonia, Irotn j Glasgow for this port, put into St. John, N. F., i Thursday, for coal. We are indebted to Mr. Spencer, Purser of the ship, for London and Liverpool papers.— The. main points of news have been anticipat ed by the arrival of the Europe at Halilax. Purser Spencer reports that in lat. 55, Ion. 17, took oil the crew of brig Marina, of Dun dee, from Montreal for Dundee, leaving the brig in a sinking condition. Atlantic St. Lawrence railway stock is quoted in the London Daily News at $65 to $67, with sales at $67. The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, by a vole of 40 to 21, have passed the resolution in favor of tlie proposition to exempt private property nt sea from capture. The prospectus of the Anglo Indian Cotton Company had been issued. The capital is half a million sterling. The object is to pro mote the growth of superior qualities of cot ton in eligible localities, from acclimated New Orleans seed. Mr. Lentham, member of Parliament from Huddersfield, had addressed his constituents lu.wrtli /in A mnrinan o U,. Iv.lt.1 the North right and the South wrong; and that the war was sure to result in the subju gation of the Confederates. He lamented the animosity of the North towards England, be lieving it due, in a great measure, to the pains England took to misrepresent herself. He predicted the warmest friendship yet between the two countries, and the most beneficial re sults for mankind. Diplomatic documents, relation to Mexico, had been submitted to the Spanish Senate. Among them is a dispatch of Seuor Collante's, demanding that the treaty of London should be again put in force; and ottering in the name of Spain to send back troops to Mexico, if France and England approved this new plan. France replied that it accepted this idea, but adjourned the realization ol it until after the entry of the French troops into the city of Mexico. The national sulfrnges in Greece continued almost everywhere favorable to l’rince Allred, who in capital and provinces had already re ceived 70,000 votes. The National Assemby would meet in a few days, when the claim of tile candidate to the throne, recommended by the Three Powers, (King Ferdinand of Portu gal,) would cotne before them.

From the Army of the Potomac—From the Hebei Army and Hicbmond. New York, Dec. 27. The Herald's special Washington dispatch says all our sick have been brought from Fal mouth. The. request for transportation is so great, thut outside supplies cannot be lorward ed to the army. Our troops have already made many rude wooden structures for shelter. An old lady arrived here yesterday from Fredericksburg, having been passed into our lines under a Hag of truce by Gen. Longstreet to meet her husband, who is a Union refugee from that city. She reports that the rebel sol diery treated the property of the citizens quite as bad as tile Yankees, and that only one per son not connected with the army was killed at Fredericksburg—a woman who was enciente. She says the leaders of the rebel army are constantly promising the soldiers to lead them through Maryland and go into winter quarters in Philadelphia. She was in liichmoud not long ago, uud represents the scarcity of shoes and oilier necessary articles of w earing appar el as almost incredible. From Kentucky—Morgan takes Possession of Glasgow—Hebels Repulsed near Cave City. Loi'isville. Dec. 2(5. John Morgan, w ith a force ol about 3UU cav ■mlry, eutered Glasgow on Wednesday. Three companies of the se-siud Michigan cavalry op posed bis entrance, but leii back on Munlbrds v>lle, having lost one captain and two privates. The rebels were then reinforced,and remained in possession of Glasgow. On Thursday, Colonels Gray and Shanks at tacked the rebels at Hear Wallow, Hart Coun ty, near Cave City, the rebels having previous ly damaged the railroad near Glasgow Junc tion. At the last accounts the Federate had driven off the reliels, killing one and taking sixteen prisoners, but sustaining no loss them selves. a train of ammunition cars which left here this morning was fired into near Nolen, and had to return. \T/t Viul'villft ti'iaunitrpr truin linen lliiu morning. Telegraphic communication between here anil Nashville was interrupted this afternoon. Critical Condition of the French Army in Mexico.—Rumored Death of Rebel Gen. Crittenden. New York. Dec. 27. A special dispatch to the Times says official information has reached Washington that the condition of the French army of invasion of Mexico is considered critical. Its ranks are being thinned by sickness unil the want of wholesome food. It is said that agents have been sent to this country to obtain supplies, the furnishing of which has lieen protested against by the Mexican Minister; it is under stood, how ever, that Secretary Seward declines to interfere.

Jackson. St. Locis, Dec. 2d. Advices received here at headquarters from Pilot Knob, are to the effect that a deserter from Col. Green's rebel regiment reports Jeff. Thompson at Pocahontas with between 5000 and 0000 infantry, mostly Missouri and Arkan sas troops; also two regiments of cavalry and one battery. The deserter left Pocahontas last Monday.

Last Sunday morning the thermometer indicated 20 degrees below zero, but since then it has been milder. The Bangor Whig reports the arrival at St. Thomas of the brig Hampden, of Ban gor, previously said to have been seized and confiscated by the French authorities for sig- nalizing the movements of the Alabama to the San Jacinto, while lying in the harbor of 1 Martinique. New Publications.—Mrs. Richard's new book entitled “Springs of Action,” and the memoirs 01 Mrs. uetnune, by her son, the Rev. Geo. W.

Jeremiah Ehlridge, an old and highly esteemed citizen of Brewer, while su perintending the funeral of Mr. Pritchard of that place, was suddenly struck down with neuralgia of the heart, and died before the procession hail left the house. 3F“ Who can doubt that the majority of democratic leaders think more of destioying Halleck and Stanton than of putting down Jell Davis and rebellion ?—that they prefer de feat of the loyal troops to success accomplish ed by Generals who will not become subservi ent to their base purposes The editor of the Augusta Age, in a conversation with us the other day, alluded to the report of his yoking his paper with New man’s Halloweil Courier, and scouted the idea.

Large orders have been received for the new translation of M. Cochin's work on the “Results of Emancipation,'’ to supply the demand in the Departments and at the Capitol at Washington. It hus even been proposed to have an edition published for general distri bution, so importaut is the information which could thus be sent over the land. If we could have our way we would not put the grumblers, and carpers, and fault flnders, either in Fort Preble or Fort Warren^ but such ol them as are able-bodied we would strap to a cartridge-box, clothe them in light blue, put a musket in their hands, and give the country the benefit of their mind and their muscle.

Git and Coasting.—Two young men coast ed half-way down the White Mountains the present winter on hand-sleds. They passed the distance of four miles in nineteen and a half iniuutes, and the lost two miles in two and a half minutes.

It would be a flue trip to ride up in a sleigh to the summit and then slide down in a few moments on a hand-sled. £IT" The Advertiser of.Saturday denies the inconsistency of the doctrines put forth by its editor in his speech before the Fremout club j in 1850, w ith those which have graced that paper of late: and insists, virtually, that he has not changed; that he stands now where he did then and stood then where he does now on the slavery question. How a man dares i twist around in this manner at the risk of breaking his neck is past our comprehension. We will attend further to his case in a few days.

TIIE WORD “SOZODONT" is derived from the Greek word8*oz0(topre8crve)andodonfe'«(theteetb); Sozodont, "A Preserver of the Teeth." FRAGRANT SOZODONT, ONLY TRUK DENTIFRICE KNOWN. The public have long been in want of some couve. nient, safe and beneficial deutifrice which could be relied on as having a healthy and preserving effect on the teeth and gums. Hundreds of worthless prepar- ations have already been offered as such in the forms j of powder, pastes and liquids, when a trial has only proved them injurious to the enamel of the teeth, or else too inconvenient and unpleasant for daily use, so indispensable to the preservation of the teeth. The Sozodont is offered with all confidence as a lleautifier and Preserver of the Teeth, a scientific combination, every ingredient of which is known to have a bench- J cial influence on the teeth ami gums, iiupartiug a de- i lightfully refreshing taste and feeling to the mouth, correcting all disagreeable odors arising from decay ed teeth, use of tobacco, Ac. Its fragrance and con venience make it a pleasure to use it; it is perfectly free from all acids or other ingredients having the least tendency to injure the enamel, and recommend ed by mauy of the most eminent dentists, chemists, physicians and scientific geutlemen of the day. Read testimonial from a large majority of the first I Druggists and Apothecaries in this city, many of whom have personally used the Sozodont, and well know its merits: We, the tuulersigned, Druggists and Apothecaries of Boston most cheerfully testify that we have sold I lor some time past the dentifrice known as VAN BUS- KIRK’S SOZODONT, and find it gives entire satis- j faction to our customers; and we believe it to be what its title indicates, A Preserver of the Teeth”— an elegant toilet article, well worthy the encomiums it has received iu New York, Bostoii, and other large cities: G.

John Sheridan, on a search and seizure pro cess, was adjudged guilty, and was fined $20 and costs, which he paid. Anderson A Webb for defense. Patrick O’Neal was found guilty of a single sale of liquor, and was fined $10 and costs, which he paid. Bnkakinq Jail.—About half past eleven o’clock yesterday forenoon, Mr. Robert Pen nell, turnkey in tbe jail, went into the jail, when he was Immediately surrouuded by six of the prisoners, who had very foolishly been allowed the privilege of leaviug their cells and promenading the area. They threatened to gag him if he made any resistance. lie attempted to get clear from them and lock himself in a cell, but not succeeding in this he threw the keys into the lower area. The pris oners got them, unlocked the door leading into the Sheriff's house, and escaped. The Sheriff, at tbe time, was at church. The pris oners who escaped were J. C. Stickney, who is under sentence of four years in the State Prison for passing forged orders; J. W. Lamb, convicted of arson, but not yet sentenced;— Jere Ragan, sentenced to two years in State Prisou for breaking and entering a house in Westbrook; Levi S. Given, tor compound lar ceny, sentenced to one year in the State pris on Phineas Merritt, confined for debt; and Frank E. Jordan, who was wfcitiug an exami nation for horse stealing. Four of them who escaped, viz:—Lamb, Jordan, Stickney aud Givens, crossed the Cove on the ice, and two of them, Stickney and Given*, were arrested on the other side of the Cove and returned to the jail. Rag&u and Merritt took another route. Officers are in pursuit of the whole batch and had got track of tome of them last evening. The case of Lamb was to come before court next Saturday, on a motion made by his coun ael for arrest of judgment, and for a new trial. P.S.—Ragan was arrested about 10 o’clock last evening by Deputy Marshal Hawkes and officer Wentworth. He was in the attic of his house in Union street. V*uaov mF.nr.AArni, WflLBKT.-A grail(1 concert will come off at the New City Hall Wednesday evening, at which there will be Promenade music by Poppenburg’s full Band, and Cotillon music by Chaudler's Baud. Col. Mason will drill a squad of the veterans of the 7th regiment in the French bayonet exercise. The proceeds of this concert are to be appro priated to the purchase of musical instru ments for the band of the regiment. The price of tickets is fixed at 25 cents only, which is “dog cheap” for such entertainments as are offered. Let the hall be filled to its utmost capacity. Coming Again.—Our readers will be glad to learn of the return to our city of Wesley's War Tableaux, which will be re-opcued at Deering Hall on Wednesday evening. This celebrated picture of the rebellion won praises from the best of critics as being a fine speci men of art, and is said to be the master work of that excellent and talented artist Bartholo mew, which is in Itself enough to warrant full houses while here. We understand that some additional scenes of the war has been transfer red to the canvas since it was on exhibition in our city. Go and see for yourselva, and we vouch for it you will come away satisfied. W-The funeral of the late Stephen Waite, Eaq., took place Saturday afternoon, at St. Stephens Church. The Episcopal lorra of ser vice was conducted by Bev. W. S. Perry, rector of the church, of which deceased was a member. He made a few appropriate remarks upon the Christian character of the deceased, and alluded, in a touching manner, to his beiug the last of a male line which had done so much to found and establish that church. The Li gonla Lodge of I. O. of O. F., of which de ceased was a member, was present, and escort ed the body to the grave. Pbof. Bbigos’ Headings.—The fourth of Professor Briggs’ humorous and dramatic readings before the Young Men’s Christian Association will take place this evening in the Library room at Mechanics’ Hall. The pro gramme for this evening is different from any of the previous ones, and the entertainment cannot fail to be instructive and amusing.— There ought to be a crowded house at every one of these readings. People do not seem to be aware of what they are missing in not at tending them. We hope to see a full room this evening. Safety- of thf. Caledonia.—The fears which were entertained for the steamer Cale donia, 26 day* out from Glasgow for this port, were dispelled yesterday by the report by steamship Bohemian, that the C. bad put into St. John, N. F., last Thursday, to coal up.— The Caledonia has about 60 passengers, and may be expected to-day or to-morrow. IV Ship Bonaventura, from Glasgow, via. Queenstown Nov. 16th, arrived at this port yesterday morning. She was towed in by the steamer Favorite. The ship was rather short of provisions. Capt. Willard spoke her on Saturday and supplied her with all he had. EV“The Social Levee given biven by the Spiritualists, at Lancaster Hall, Christmas evening, was so successful that, in accordance with numerous requests, it will be repeated, at the same place, to-morrow evening. |V Steamship Norwegian sailed from this port for Liverpool at 4 o’clock Saturday after noon. She had 38 cabin and 28 steerage pas sengers, and a full cargo. vr We are requested to state that the Monday morning and Saturday evening trains I on the Kennebec oti the immutable conditious which surround them. Tlie valley of tlie Mississippi is the chosen seat of population, product and power on this continent. In a few years 25,000,000 of peo ple. unsurpassed in material, resources and ra pacity lor war. will swann upon its fertile riv ers. Those who assume to set conditions upon their exodus to tlie Gulf count upon a power not given to man. The country washed by the waters of the Ohio, Missouri and Mississippi, can never ho permanently severed. If one generation base ly barters away its rights, immortal honors will rest on another that reclaims them. Let it never be said either that tlie East or the West may lie separated. Thirty days distance urc mai kcu» ui raurupt* nun sausiy me wants of Louisiana ami Arkansas, but it will not answer the demands of Illinois and Ohio. The Valley of the Mississippi will have its deltas upon the Atlantic. The physical force of tlie West w ill debauch on its shores with a power as resistless as the torrents of its giant rivers. The country cannot be permanently divided. Ceaseless wars may drain its blood and treasure; domestic tyrants or foreign foes may grasp the sceptre of its power, but its destiny will remain unchanged. It will still lie united: God has ordained it. What avails then the best government ever devised by man, the self-adjusting, self-correcting Constitution of the United States. People of the South West, why not accept the conditions imposed by the imperious necessities of geographical configuration and commercial supremacy, and re-establish your ancient prosperity and renown? Why not Ire come the founders of States which, as the en trepotrs and depots of your own central and upper valleys, may stand’ in the aflluencies of their resources without a superior, and In the privileges of the people without a peer anti ng the nations of the earth. (Signed) N. P. Banks, Commanding. The only additional news in the New Or leans papers is the capture of two steamers loaded with sugar, and a launch filled with arms, ammunition and one small brass cannon, by an expedition sent to Atchafaloia river, by Commander Buchanan. The Koanoke brings Havana advices to the 22d. Advices received there from Ship Island, 18th inst., state that all the ships that sailed from Hampton ltoads for Gen. Banks, had reached there except two—the Thames and the Georges Creek. The latter was still at Key West. The Curlow had got ashore there, i bift was got off safely. The rebel schooner Belief had arrived at i Havana from Mobile, with cotton. She reports that the rebel steamer Florida, alias Ovelo, had cot out with a crew of 100 men, passing the blockade during the night. Among the vessels from New York which had not reached Ship Island, in addition to those already reported broken down, are the SUetucket, Continental, Quluoeboag, Hondu ras. Retaliatory Proclamation by JclT. v Davis. Gen. Butler and his Officers to bo Hung, if Captured. Other Officers and Slaves to be Hung. New Yoke, Dec. 27. The following are extracts from Jeff Davis’ proclamation. After detailing the facts about the execution of Mmnford at New Orleans, Jeff Davis says: "Now', therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, Presi- dent of the Confederate States of America, and in tlicir authority, do prououiiee and de clare the said Benj. F. Butler to be a felon, de serving of capital punishment. I do order that be shall no longer be considered or treat ed merely as a public enemy of the Confeder ate States of America, but as an outlaw and common enemy of mankind, and that, in the event of his capture, the officer in command of the capturing party do cause him to be immedi ately executed by hanging. And I do further order, that no commissioned officer of the United Slates taken captive shall be released on parole before exchanged, until said Butler shall have met .with due punishment for his crimes. And, whereas, the hostilities waged against the Confederacy by the forces of the United States under the command of the said Benj. F. Butler, have borne no resemblance to such warfare as is alone permissible by the rules of international law or the usage of civ ilization, but have Iteen characterized by re peated atrocities and outrages.”—(Herefollows a list of alleged atrocities committed by But ler and his command, including his coufisca tioti order.) The proclamation concludes as follows: “And, whereas, the President ol'fhe United States has, by public and official dMarations, signified not only bis approval of tile effort to excite servile war within the Confederacy, but his intention to give aid and encourage ment thereto if these independent States shall continue to refuse submission to a foreign foe uiLei lug nrsi uay oi January next, and has thus made known that all appeal to the law of nations, of the dictates of reason and the in stincts of humanity, would lie addressed in vain to our enemy,'and that they can be de terred from the commission of these crimes only by the terrors of just retribution. Now, therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, President of tile Confederate States of America, and acting by their authority, appealing tothe Divine Judge in attesting that their conduct is not guided by the passion of revenge, but that they re luctantly yield to the solemn duty of redress ing, by necessary severity, crimes of which their citizens are the victims, da issue this proclamation, and, by virtue of my authority as Commander-io-Cnief of the armies of the Confederate States, do order: 1st. That all commissioned officers of the command of the said Benj. F. Butler be de clared not entitled to be considered as soldiers engaged in honorable warfare, but as robbers and criminals, deserving death, and that they, and eacli of them lie, whenever captured, re served for execution. 2d. That private soldiers and non-commis sioned officers in Hie army of the said Butler be considered as only the instruments used for the commission of the crimes perpetrated by his orders, and not as free agents; that they, therefore, lie treated, when captured, us prison ers of war, with kindness and humanity, and lie sent home on tile usual parole that they will in no manner aid or serve the United States in any capacity during the continuance of this war, unless duly exchanged. 3d. That all negro slaves captured in arms lie at once delivered over to the executive au thorities of the respective States to which they belong, to be dealt with according to the laws of said State. 4th. That the like orders be executed in all cases with respect to all commissioned officers I of the United States when found serving in company with the said slaves in insurrection against the authorities of the different States of this Confederacy. In testimony whereof, I have signed these presents, and caused the seal of the Conled crate States of America to be affixed there to. at the City of Richmond,on this 23il day of Deceinlier, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two. fSiffilpdl .IcrruDunv T W vis By the President.

Report of the Superintendent of Public Printing. more Troubles in Utah. Capture of Federal Troops and a Battery. Washington, Dec. 28. Maj. Gen. Butler is by this time on his way to W&shiugton, he having been ordered to re l>ort here. Report already assigns him an im portant command in the Held. Maj. Sprague has been allowed leave of ab sence until further orders. This is to enable him to accept the position of Adjutant Gen eral of the State of New York under Gov. Seymour’s administration. The last of the wounded arrived yesterday from the Rappahannock. There have been registered in Sturgis Hos pital over 600 wounded patients, on whom the surgeons have performed capital operations, viz: amputations of legs, arms, or resection of these limbs, to the number of 74; ail ex cepting 41 were primary operations. The report of John D. Defrees, Superintend ent of Public Printing, giving iu detail the transactions of his office for the year ending Sept. 30, lias just been printed. The increased demand for printing blanks, occasioned hv the war, &c., lias been very great. The report shows a saving to the government of $205,506 since the establishment of the office in March of last year. Accounts from l'tali represent the recently appointed U. S. Judges to be dissatisfied with the condition of affairs in that territory—the Legislative Assembly still throwing every ob stacle iu the way of holding courts and bring ing criminals to justice. Senator Browning of 111., lias introduced a bill endeavoring to rem edy these defects, hut from all accounts one tiling seems to lie certain, viz: that the U. S. government will have to meet the issue iu j Utah at once, and lor all.by prompt and vigor- ous measures. Owing to the inefficient cou (lllpt rtf fltrinul' Ollllllnul enllnna iltn nsaiunxlst I ing coils have become ililticuit to remedy, ami tlie former contempt for the home government has become intensilied. A report has reached Washington that a company of the 2d Pennsylvania cavalry, com manded by Col. True, stationed at Oceoquan, was surprised this morning by a detachment of rebel cavalry. A tight occurred, in which a number were wounded, and Capt. Johnson, of the Pennsylvania cavalry, who was in com mand, killed. Several supply wagons were captured by the enemy. It is" also stated that that the rebels captured some of our troops and a battery at Dumfreesboro, yt^terday. Prom Mexico and Central America. Paxama, Dec. 15. Mr. Carter, IT. S. Minister to Bolivar, re turns home on the Ariel. The French fleet has sailed for Mexico, leav here four American and one British ship of war. At Aspinvval! there is only the disabled U. S. brig Buinbridge to protect foreign interests. A forced loan of $34,01)0 has just been as sessed on the natives of Panama. Hon. M. M. Diasc has been elected Gov ernor of Panama for the next two years. Arboleda, the leader of the Conservative party in the present civil war in this country, was recently assassinated by some of the peo ple whose relatives he shot some time since.— This event may possibly husten a peace. Vessels Chased by a Rebel Privateer. New York, Dec. 27. The ship Lizzie Southard reports that she was chased Nov. 19th, lat. 80, Ion. 42, by a supposed privateer. The bark Martha’s Vine yard reports, no date, lat. 40, ion. 60, was chased by a supposed privateer. From Newbern, N. O. New York, Dec. 2S. The steamer Geo. O. Collins, from Newbern 25th, has arrived. She brings no news. The health of the troops is good, and all is quiet. Capture of the Ariel by the Alabama. The Ariel Relieved of her Arms and Am munition. U. 8. Officer* Disarmed and Paroled. Bonds Given and the Steamer Re leased. San Francisco, Dec. 27. By tile arrival at this port of steamship Con stitution from Panama, we have highly impor tant and exciting news. The Constitution re ports that the steamship Ariel, from New York for Aspinwull, was captured on the 7th lust, by the pirate Alabama. The Alabama de tained the Ariel until the 10th inst., when she allowed her to proceed towurds Aspinwull, upon her giving bonds in the sum of *228,000 as a ransom. The arms and ammunition on board the Ariel w^re taken from her, and 120 marines, who were on lioard, were parollcd. Much anxiety is felt here lest the Ariel, on her return trip to New York, should lie over hauled, and tlie large amount of specie which she will carry, be captured. The passengers oil lioard the Ariel spoke in the highest terms of the courtesy shown by Capt. Semmes. The Ariel was captured near the east end of Cuba. The only plunder, with the exception of the arms and ammunition, was *8000 in “green hacks,” belonging to Wells, Fargo Co. The Alabama last coaled at Martinique.— When leaving that port the U. S. steamer San Jacinto aimed her guns nt her, when simulta neously the guns of the fort were turned upon the San Jacinto. This is the statement of the 1st Lu of Capt. Semmes. The Alabama cluims a speed under 25 lbs. of steam of 10 knots an hour. She overtook tiie Ariel with only 11 pounds of steam and lired two guns at her, when she hove to. ('apt. Semmes Hrst intended to destroy the Ariel by burning her, Hrst putting the passen gers ashore in little settlement huts at St. Do mingo. Capt. Jones, of the Ariel, protested that half of his passengers would die if this was .1— o_... o.. the passengers at Kingston, but alter much parleying an arrangement was effected to re lease the Ariel, on Capt. Jones giving bonds iu tiie sum of $228,000, payable in 30 days af ter tiie acknowledgement of the Southern Confederacy. Panama. Dec. 15. The steamship Ariel reached Aspinwall on Friday night, 12th inst., having been overhaul ed by tiie Alabama on the Tib inst. off cast end of Cuba, and taken to Jamaica. The Ariel was detained for two and a half days and then released, after her captors taking out $12, 000 in specie or freight for Nicaragua, tiie property of two Southern men, and some boots and shoes. Tiie officers of tiie Alabama also made prisoner of and disarmed Capt. Sar tori. of the C. S. Navy, who was coming out to take command of tiie Cyanuc, Capt. Gar land, of tiie marine corps, en route for Miec Island, Cal., and some other U. S. officers, and 140 marines, and alter taking all their equip ments, including their side urins, they released them on parole. The passengers denouuce their treatment ai.d accommodation on tiie Ariel as most abominable and disgraceful, and would gladly have seen her burnt had there been any other way of reaching their destination. It ap|>ears tiiat Capt. Seinines was looking out for the steamship Champion wlieu he foil in with the Ariel. Before taking the Ariel Capt. Seinines fired a blank cartridge nt her and afterwards a shell, which struck her fore mast, nearly cutting it in two. The people of tiie North can form their own ideas ns to tiie precautions hitherto taken to protect Cali fornia interests by the Government. rnnn Till? fini tmu ruT Reported Orders for the Evacuation of Island Ho; 10. Gen. Grant’s Army Reported falling Back. Cairo, HI., Dec. 27. We have received nothing to-day in regard to the movements of our forces against the rebels, who are now operating iu Northwest ern Tenuessee. The rebels have done great damage in the Ohio river bottom. They have burned two long bridges over the river, and destroyed two miles of tressel work at Middlebury. It is reported this evening that orders have been giveu for our forces to evacuate Island No. 10, to spike the guns there, and blow up the magazines. Information lias been received to-day that trains are running on the railroad between Jackson and Trenton, and that 2000 of our troops are at the latter place. There is a rumor in circulation here to-night that Gen. Grant's army has fallen back across the Tallahatchie river, but it is not traceable to any reliable source. Arrival of the Steamer Columbia. Gen. Butler Challenged to Eight a Duel. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. New York, Dec. 28. The steamer Columbia, from New Orleans 20th and Havana 23d inst., has arrived. She brings uo news of moment. The rebels, thinking they will see a less vig orous commander in Gen. Banks, appear iu the streets iu crowds. One of them sent a challenge to Gen. Butler, who put it iu his pocket, and sent the angry rebel word that if he desired an onset to come on, in the street or wherever else it might suit hiui best. Gen. Corcoran, witli his Irish legiou, hail arrived below New Orleans. A large number of speculators had arrived in New Orleans; and may give ail impulse to trade. Gen. Banks was very busy and in hourly consultation with Geii. Butler. The best of feeling exists between them and their respec tive stall's. Gen. Elliott, of the 1st Louisiana regiment, had resigned. From Havana and Nassau. A uun, AA-t. «iO. The steamer British Queen, from Havana 20th and Nassau 23d, lias arrived. Venezula dates of the 22d suite that the in surgents were evincing a desire for reconcilia tion. I'ierre Soule was at Havana on the 20th inst. Nassau papers contain the following items:— The Governor has issued a proclamation, for bidding pilots to briug in Federal or rebel cruisersi The steamer Giraffe, a blockade runner, had arrived at Nassau from Liverpool, with uu as sorted cargo, probably to run the blockade again.

From Santa Fe and Fort Stanton. Kansas City, Dec. 27. Santa Fe advices of the 13th that state it is now pretty well ascertained that there is no probability of an immediate appearance of Texans iu New Mexico. Advices from Fort Stanton arc encouraging. Col. Carson was in active pursuit of the rebels. Marine Disaster—Loss of Life. San Francisco, Dec. 27. The Rbip Sea King, which sailed from this port on the 0th of September for Liverpool, loaded with wheat, was totally lost when ten days out. All on board were lost except the third mate, who was picked up by the bark I Eugene and carried to Peru.

POETRY. -.1. i. Reformation—.How Secured. BY JOHN BROOKS, M P. I doubt not it will agreed That wo much retormatiou neon. Belore from every fault w o re freed, In things nf various name; Aud since our mother Eve began The primal wandering! of man, It Dow may be a proper plan For woman to reclaim. Let woman, then, now jro ahead, And lead us, not as Eve first led, From innocence to w hat we dread, As sin, and shame, and guilt; Bat lead us up, from depths below, To where the living waters flow, And where the tree of life doth grow. And grace Is richly felt To do this in a proper way, As gentle wotnau surely nrav* Ana every passion viie allay, Plain common sense must guide; Lot her with pure young minds begin. And all the warm affections win. Before the soul is steeped in sin, Or with its guilt i» oyed. When one© sh© gains complete control. Let her be sure aud keep it whole. Lest yielding she should lo*c the eotu, As thousands have before: Mothers and guides who suffer rules Whether in families or schools— To yield to childr.*u> whims, or fools. All right to guide ignore. In days of ignorance, the way To govern children, day by day. Was now to hire them to obey, Aud now commaud aud scold; And when no other means would do. Or when one tried some method new. And failing, highly angry grew Not child hut parent was coutroled. From such means, senseless and severe. For governing the children dear. Parents have parted year by year, Till few they now retain. If parent* now the child can coax. And show respect to little folks. Whether the baby chews or smokes. They think they're on the gain. Thus to extremes the people run; Having mild government begun, And broke from errors one by one. Thev down to nothing fall; So if a child shall Iret and tease. The pareut, just for stnpid ease, Will let it do a* it shall please, And govern none at all. Tis high time such should change their track, And try to get some half way back To where they first began to slack The reins of government; But that I fear they ne'er will do, Unless the wives and mothers true Begin such errors to eschew', With rational intent. .4 Let wives and mothers be agreed In this teroim to take the lead: Let husbands help them as they need. The truest coarse to hud, So as, by mea-ures strong and mild. To teach each boisterous wayward child. Before i' shall be wholly spoiled. That it bas got to mind, When this is done, and not before, The cbi-d will cease to baa] and roar At every exeicise of power, Diiected to its gooo; So there will come a happy peace, As 'tx ere from bedlam a release, ho much of clamor then will cease. For stillness as the mood. When government is settled thus. And children mind without a muss. And mamma gets a loving buss, As well as geis obeyed, The uext thing is to leach them well Both tiow to read and how to sped. And how w hat they may know to tell, Not mumbling, as afraid. By this time,If not e'en before, Let mothers moral lessons pour Iuto the mind, a plenteous store. As chiidi en well can bear; Teach them to shun all base deceit, Iu neither words nor looks to cheat. But be iu all that’s true complete, And all that's good and lair. Teach them how daily to supply, The lesson taught us from on high. To do as one would be doue by. And never, never swerve; Jgske them to know, 'tis even this That constitutes a part of bliss, That with it none will lieaveu miss. Or punishment deserve. Not many years ago some creed Was taught as childrens' highest need, From Heaven's vengeance to he freed, For what old Adam did. But now. on Jesus' word I say, But strietlv liis commands obev, And practise justly, day by day, Audou tow’ids'Heaven you'll speed. “Your Fare, Miss.” Not long since, a young lady and her pecu liar swain, made a visit to a city not a thousand miles from Boston, and feeling an irresistible hankering to see tbe "elephant,” as lie devel- I ops himself in the rail-cars, entered one for a short ride. Getting into a passenger car, while her lover explored the interior of the smoking-car, the maiden look a seat, and in due course of time, the conductor came around, (insinuating man) for the purpose i of collecting tiic fares. Approaching the rus tic maiden, he said, affably: “Your tare, Miss.” The unsophisticated one allowed a delicate pink to manifest itself on Iter cheeks, and looked down in soil confusion. The justly popular conductor was rather astouished at this, and ventured to remark again: “Your fare, Miss.” This time the pink deepened into carnation ami the maiden lingered her parasol with naive coquetlisliness. The conductor did not know what to muke of this soit of thing, and began to look foolish, but he managed to say once more: “Hem!—Miss, your fare.” In a moment, those lovely, violet eyes were looking up into his face through an aurora of blushes, and the rosy lips exelaimed: “Well, tliev do say I‘in good looking at hum; but I don't see why you want to 6ay it to loud!” It was not a peal of thunder that shook the car just then. Oh, no! it was something that commenced in a general passengerial tit ter, and ended iu such a shattering guffaw as human nature, under such a provocative, is capable ol. In the midst of the cachinuatory tempest, the “lover” eatne to the rescue of his Doxinna; and when the “pint of the whole thing” was explained to him, his mouth ex panded to proportions that might have made Barnum’s hippopotamus die ol jealousy on the spot. The pair left the ear at the first stop J/IUVU. uuuniii^ is. mvhvi tu I1III9M men journey on foot, and the last seen of them they were buying molasses candy, and eating gin gerbread in a baker’s shop. Military Repulses.—Napoleon, In May 180V, crossed the Danube at Aspern on Es eling, wit one of tbe best armies ever organ ized—over 80,030 strong; and at the end of two days hard lighting had to fall back with the loss of 30,000 men, into the island of Lo ban. It was only on the 6lh of.lulythat he could resume the offensive, and recross the river; and lie won the battle of Wagram af ter a most obstinate conflict, with a loss of 25j00o men. Marshal Soult, admitted to be one of the best of the marshals of Napoleon, attacked Marshal Be restor'd, posted on the heights of Albuera, and although he was only twenty three thousand rtrong, he was repulsed with the loss of 8,(XKJ men, in a contest of four hours only. Napoleon did not censure him. In India in the Sihk war, Kungut Sing re pulsed the English assault on Burtpoore, where the largest mine was sprung, that, up to that time had ever been charged. I have al ways heard the assault praised. Sir Hugh Gough (just before the Seapoy mutiny) retired from the assault on Shere Sing's works, in the second Sihk campaign. French Marshals were often repulsed from behind entrenchments—in Spain—Soult, Mas *ena, Snchets and others. Cadiz was success fully defended: so, I think was Valentin. As to Masses a la-fore Sierra de Busaco, the historian says: “He was afraid to attack and Waited some time. The delay gave the Hin doo captain (Wellington) tire invaluable op portunity of concentrating the whole of his troops, aim miuig up the gaping banks in his line of defence. The attack of the French was gallantly delivered on a position so strong that even Nejr and Junot declared it ought not to be assailed.” The attack failed utterly. Wellington was entirely defeated in the at tack at Uadajos, and abandoned the siege. Again lie failed In repeated assaults at ltur Soa, and was forced to fall back to Torres Ve ras. But I need not go on. History is ftill of ac counts where great generals have failed In cap turing strong works with no loss of reputation. Bonaparte generally gave stone walls a wide berth, but lie failed before St. Jobu D’Acre.— [Y. Y. Post. Photographic Frames. QOCAKE or oval—every kind called for.

Poor Kit-hnril's Ejf nnd Ear Water Is a new and rare discovery, which is most wonder i ful in its operations, putting to blush the old systems I of treatmeut, which have quite as often done haim as good.

If any one has doubts as to the value of this remedy, they may learn more of its practical value by addressing a note of inquiry to Mr. II. Philadelphia. Oct. 17,1*62. From injuries received in my right eye, when a boy, a chronic inflammation had been produced, in i consequence of which I suffered constant martyr dom. Every momeut of my waking life was embit tered, aud I was frequently unable to sleep at night. A variety of remedies had been resorted to with out success, and I eutertained the purpose, as a last resort, of having the ball takou out of its socket, in the hope of thus finding relief. In the meantime, most providentially I noticed mil) iltv in n "ilia'll) u-iiulnir bntflM nf 1‘t III If IMf'll. AKD’S EYE WATER. I had never heard ot it be fore, but determined to try it, and did, with the most delightful results.

I uow keep a bottle of it always in the house, and if my eye seems at all disposed to aunoy me. I give it a dose, and that isau end of it. I would uot be with out it for auy amount of money. 1 take occasion to say, further, that my wife used to suffer severely at times from protracted pain in and over her eyes and she has found Poor Richard's Eye Water a sov ereign specific in her case, giving her almost instant relief.
