The city was full of people from
the rural districts yesterday and the :
streets were 4owded with vehicles. '
There was an abundance of some sorts
of produce being offered for sale, and 1
many citizens laid in 'a winter's supply.
WorsDED. We saw two soldiers yes
terday leading a third from the field
where he had evidently had a severe en
gagement and had come off eecond best,
as the blood was streaming down his
face.
From his general movements and
bearing, we concluded that he had gone
into the fight backed up by John Barley
corn, and had come oat, if not defeated,
certainly greatly demoralized.
A Close Shave. Ano:her big cave
took piace yesterday in the excavation
for the sewer on Locust street, which
came nigh burying two of the workmen.
They were about finishing the first semi-
eircie, when ten or htteen wagon loads i
of sand and gravel came down almost in j five young friend Henry Miller, clerk of

to a light vehicle, consisting of the run
ning gear of a wagon with a loose board
in it, with a view perhaps of giving us
an item or alge disgusted at the folly of
hi6 owner in leaving him in the street
unhitched, concluded to take race by
himself. But 'the whole affair was a
miserable failure.
It is true the horse ran up First street
at a fair traveling gate, and may be run
ning yet, bnt from the speed at which he
went, we have no idea that he broke the
vehicle, and we are certain he did not
overheat himself. If he expected to ere
ate any excitement among people on the
tret or side-walk he signally failed in
in his effort.

air of neatness and liveliness to our city
and also preserves the buildings.
There may be some old fogy or sore
headed envious grumbler, who believes
a city of log cabins or mud huts, are the
best emblems of a virtuous and
prosperous people, but those who pro-! fPva notice in the Journal, that 1 will be
gress with the age, will, we think, agree at tne following places at the times men
withus, that handsome architecture and i tioned, where I will be pleased to meet
a liberal use of Linseed oil and white i
lead and other coloring bases, is more
indicative of industry and energy.
Among the buildings now receiving'a
new dress, we notice the Aikman Block,
corner of First and Sycamore street,
which, when finished, will present a mag
nificent appearance.
New Books.
The Peninsular Campaign in Virginia.
Incidents and Scenes on the Battle
Fields and in Richmond, bv Rev. J.
J. Marks, D. D. Philadelphia . Lip
pincott & Co. Evansville : John
Healy.
This interesting book has been on our
table for sometime. It is only recently :
that we have enjoyed the pleasure of '
reading it. We do not now remember I
any book which the war has produced,
that has given us so much genuine satis
faction. Its description of places, army
movements, scenes in hospitals and in
the Richmond prisons, bear the iimpress
of truth. It is evident from the mere
reading of them that they are sketches
by an eye witness. No one can read
Dr. Mark's sketches without setting a
higher estimate upon the value of our
Government and institutions, and re.
garding with warmer affection and the
most unlimited admiration, the noble
men who are fighting our battles. It enj
nobles human virtue. So accustomed
have been Our people tp look upon the
or e i .
sufferings of our revolutionary fathers
in achieving our independence, that we
fail to appreciate the fact that our own
immediate fathers, brothers and friends,
are enduring as severe hardships and as
intense sufferings to perpetuate the Gov-
erumcnt established by those noble an.
t-estors.
Dr. Marks entered the service as Chan-
lain of the G3d Pennsylvania volunteers,
which was attached to the celebrated
Kearnay division. He passed through
some of those terrible battles fought in
the vicinity, of Richmond; remained
with our wounded when they were aban
doned by Gen. McClellan in bis retreat
to James River, and was captured by the
rebels and taken to Richmond. Ilis
hook is a plain statement of what passed
under his own observation during that
eventful period. It gives us new ideas,

circumstances, eclipse;
glory with which History has cncir- ,

We 8hall attempt no lengthy review of :
the ''Peninsular Campaign.'' It may be
better studied in the light of Dr. Mark's
personal experiences. His book can
be found at the book-store of John Healy,
and no private library in complete with-
out it.

of our dead are sacred, and a more love
ly spot than Oak Hill in which they can
sweetly sleep until the resurrection morn,
we know not in the State. Every fa nily
should provide themselves with a lot In
the midst of life we should remember
death. While we are so careful as to
what we shall eat, what we shall drink,
and wherewithal we shall be clothed, in
this life, why not hi equally thoughtful
as to where our bodies, which have
cost us so much trouble and anxiety
here, shall rest when their spirits have
gone to the God who gave them ?
We had the pleasure, last night,
of b.v the hand our excellent
friend Mr" A- P Voorhees, so well and
favorably known to our citizens as the
conductor on the E. & C. Railroad.
a- v ' 1 ' m
Mr. Voorhees has, for some time past,
been with the 80th Regiment as sutler,
and some two or three months ago had
the misfortune to get a leg broken by the
kick of a horse. He is now compelled to
go on crutches, but is fast recovering.
He is accompanied to the city by
his son, Capt Jacob Voorhees, who was
also for several years connected with the
E. k C. Railroad, but now holds a com
mission as Captain in the army.
He has for some sixteen months been
suffering from chronic diarrhoea, but is
improving in health, and expects short
ly to rejoin his regiment, in which he
has won distinction for his gallantry.
They both return to Terre Haute this
morn in?.

Washington, October 20. The Gov

Burnside that his marches and victories

Virginia are eminently satisfactory, and
that in almost every case the rebels have
been whipped and routed.
Gen. Burnside declares that there is

New York Specials Reported Rebel
Movements The Rebels Retreating
Meade Pursuing Change in the
Conscription Law.
New York, October 20. The Post's
Washington letter has a rumor that one
corps of Lee's army has gone to Chatta
nooga, but there are no actual facts
upon which to make such a statement.
There is talk in military circles of the
early repeal of the $300 section of the
conscription act by Congress. This will
be urged in December, and it is not im
probable that in the next draft that ex
emption by money will be impossible.
Some persons advocate fixing the ex
emption price as high as $600 or even
$1,500, and providing that drafted men
who go to the army shall receive the
money so raised in their district.
This cheme is said to have originated
with Mr. Chase.
Special to the Post
Washington, Oct 20. Everything is
looking cheerful this morning.
Gen. Meade is in rapid pursnit of the
Rebels, who have already retreated be

It is thought that Grant will take the
place of Rosecrans.
It will be remembered that Gen. Grant

of this report
From Cairo and Below Farther of
the ColllersviUe Fight The Rebels
totally Routed.
Cairo, October 20. The steamers An
glo Saxon and Sunny Side, with 250
bales of cotton, arrived yesterday.
The Memphis Bulletin of the 17th
gives additional particulars of. military
operations on the Memphis & Charleston
Railroad.
Our forces at Colliersville were less
than 500 men, without artillery, com
manded by Lieut Jones, 3d U. S. Caval
ry, and a member of General Sherman's
staff, and not by Sherman himself, as
previously reported.
Opposed to us were eleven regiments,
under Chalmers and Richardson, num
bering, it is said 800, with 9 pieces of
artillery.
Our loss was 14 killed, 04 wounded
and missing. Rebel loss, about 150.
During the pursuit of Chalmers by
Col. Hatch, the latter came up with
Palmer at Ingraham's Mills, three miles
south of Bahalia, when, after two hours'
fighting, the rebels were dislodged from
a very strong position, their guns being
advantiieously posted, and their infantry
well under cover.
The position was carried by
Col. Phillip's brigade, the 7th Illinois
and 7th Kansas, leading the charge.
The enemy lost upwards of fifty killed
and wounded.
They then retreated thirty miles South
to the Tallahatchee, where they took a
strong position at the little town of Wy
att A deep trench had been made en
tirely around the" town, and reinforce
ments had arrived.
The enemy occupied the river side
with 3,500 to 4,000 men and nine pieces
of artillery. Col. Hatch had about
2,200 men, two brigades under Colonels
Phillips and Morris, and eight pioces of
artillery in the center.
The enemy made two desperate char
ges on our right and left, which were re
pulsed with considerable loss, they leav
ing their dead in our hands.
Night coming on the battle ceased, but
about 9 o'clock Col. Hatch charged on
the town, drove the rebels, panic stricken,
into the river and across the bridge, leav
ing in our hands about 300 rifles and
seventy-five prisoners. The town was
afterwards burned.
During the six days' fighting and skir
mishing from the battle field of Colliers
ville, about 600 of the rebels wcr' killed,
large numbers taken prisoners and a
large quantity of arms captured.
Little Rock advices of the 14th, say:
The rebel army is scattered in every di
rection, and an extraordinary revival of
Union sentiment has taken piace among
the people.
Over one thousand men have join ed
the Federal army at Little Rock, and the
.people are coming in daily and taking
the oath ot allegiance.
Official reports of the capture of the
Confederate steamers on Red River do
not differ materially from reports already
received.

News from Knoxville.
Kxoxville, Oct 17. The rebels are
in full retreat into Virginia. Shackel
ford is at Bristol. All is quiet at Lon
don. Parson Brownlow and Horace May
nard arrived to-day.
The Army of the Cumberland.
Chattanooga, Oct, 14. The two ar
mies injfront of Chattanooga are still eye
ing each other, withont any apparent
disposition on either side to strike. The
enemy in said to be strengthening his po
sition on Lookout Mountain and Mis
sionary Ridge, and rumor says he is
bringing up siege guns from Richmond,
to shell us out. Meanwhile, Rosecrans
is awake, and our fortifications grow
apace. There is no idleness here, and
no indications of any retrograde move
ment The rebels succeed, now and then, in
disturbing our provision trains, killing
mules and burning wagons, but these
petty annoyances, I predict, are but for
a season. Their sharpshooters lie
along the river bank, concealed behind
rocks and trees, where it is very difficult
to dislodge them, and by that means get
a fair sweep at our teams passing along
on the opposite side. Thus they killed
some seventy-five of our mules, day be
fore yesterday; but that game will soon
be played. At any expense, this annoy
ance must be removed, for, at best, our
means of transportation are not of the
most convenient. For the last: forty
hours it has been raining steadily.
UTeamsters who came in this morning,
report the road over the mountain is
very bad indeed. Portions of the river
and Railroad between this place and
Bridgeport, are in the hands of the re
bels who must be cleaned out before our
position is a pleasant one. As to its
safety there is but little or no question.
So far as conveniences are concerned,
we have forgotten all about them.
Gen. Curtis Ofliclal Report.
Washington, October 19. The follow
ing was received at headquarters to-day:
" Chattanooga, October 18.
' To Major Gen. H. W. Halleck:
" The following dispatch has just been
received from Brig. Gen. George Crook,
commanding Second Cavalry Division,
dated RogeravUle, Oct. 10, 1863: 'I have
to inform you that I have had three
fights with the enemy since I left Le
quatchie Valley, whipping him very bad
ly each time. The last battle ending at
farminston, Tni.., where T foufrht

ing a large portion of it, capturing four
pieces oi ariinerv, i.uuu stana oi cav
alry arms, ana 40 prisoners, besides the
wounded.
As I pushed on after the enemy imme
diately, I have not been able to ascertain
the number of their killed and wounded,
but it was very heavy. They were scat
tered over a distance of fifteen miles
from this, and their retreat was a perfect
rout, their men deserting and Strangling
over the country. I pursued them witn
great vigor, but their horses being better
than mine,l was only able to come up with
two regiments at Sugar Creek left to de
tain me. I made a charge on them, cap
turing some 500, and scattering the rej
mainder in the mountains. When I
reached the river I found they had all
crossed at a ford three miles above Sam's
Ferry, where they commenced to cross.
I never saw troops more demoralized. I
am satisfied their loss in this raid was
not less than 2,000. No fears need be
entertained of their making another
raid. Signed Geo. Crook,
Brig. Gen. Commanding.

Major General.

Main Street,
EVANSVILLE, INDIANA.
I RITTENBERG HAS NOW ON HANDS A
. splendid assortment of Optical Instruments,
which he will dispose of at greatly reduced
prices ; his goods being all of the very latest Im
provements in manufacture, consisting of a very
large variety of Spectacles from tbe most common
to the very best, viz: The finest quality of Gold
Spectacles, these Glasses being constructed on the
most accurate adaptation of the Convex Concavo
Periscopic principles. Also, Silver of three dif
ferent grades of Glasses, No. 1 being on the same
principle as the Gold Spectacles. No. 2 isa Peri
focal Lense ; No. S being a line Achromatic Lens,
mirror shape.
In addition to the above I have a fine assort
ment of Steel, of the very best quality of Lenses,
the frames being grooved into the Glasses. The
frames are so fine as to be scarcely visible. No. 2
of steel is Perifocal. No. 3 the globules of a
smoked Lense, adapted for weak -sight where
strong light, snow or wind affects the vision.
Thete Spectacles are a perfect preventative by use
ing them constantly, causing the eye to gain its
healthy power and retain It to old age.
Having had very considerable experience also in
cateract eyes, in adapting glasses to such vision,
would impress on the minds of all persons need
ing glasses of any description, to apply for such
only to a regular Optician, making that his sole
study and business for years, he alone being able
to know from the peculiar anatomy of the eye the
nature of the defect, whether arising from weak
nessof s'ght, flattening of the pupil, or other
misfortune occurring lo the vision. The eye be
ing the most delicate organ, and of the most vital
importance to the hnppiness and prosperity of
man, should never be tampered with, either by
the individual or by those who, for mere profit,
take upon themselves the selling of Optical In
struments, and who know nothing of the anatomy
of the eye, or how to discover tbe proper glasses to
suit the peculiarity of the different sights of those
needing spectacles. Thousands have lost their
vision entirely from not applying to those only
qnalifled to know the different defects in each in
dividual's sight, and how to remedy it by wearing
the proper kind of spectacles. I. Bittenberg,
having had over twenty-five years experience as
regular practical optician, can assure those giving
him their patronage that by applying to him thej
can get the very right kind of glasses adapted to
their case, and in almost every one secure good
eye sight to old age. Nesr sighted persons can
also obtain of him the latest improvement in
spectacles suited to them, being a new invention.
1 have also the most recently new Field Glasses,
with Astromical eye pieces, being very suporior
to the old opera glass arrangement. All kinds ot
Optical Instruments repaired at the shortest no
tice ,lnd these having purchased spectacles of me,
and having had the misfortune to break one of the
lenses, can have it replaced gratuitously by apply
