A Verdict. The jury in the case of
Hudspath vs. Allen &. Clarke, returned
a verdict last night in favor of the plain
tiff. The D. B. Campbell. Capt., J. W.
Ren, of the D. B. Campbell, telegraphed !
us at & late hour last night that the
C irapbell would arrive here this morning
!i m ... . ,
at an early hour, and will leave lor Hen-
derson this evening. i

Weekly last night a magnificent nnm-
ber
commenced to rain about dark
last night, but we hope no one will say
anything about it for fear it will quit.
MT Wood is selling on our streets at j
the rate of $4.50 to $5.50 per cord. We
do not see how poor people are to keep I
warm this winter at such prices.
Raising the Water. We have often
heard of men concocting plans to raise
the wind, but Capt. John B. Hall, of the
middle wharf boat, has hit upon a plan
to raise the water. He has constructed
a wind-mill to pump out his wharf boat.
We do not know how it will work, but as
experience 13 a good schoolmaster we
presume he will learr in time.
The Mystery Solved. Some misap
prehension may exist in the minds of!
our readers in relation to the notice in
yesterday's paper that a portion of a
woman's skeleton had been exhumed in
the excavation in Locust street The
word 'skirt," added to "skeleton," wi 1
probably elucidate the matter somewhat.
The portion found was made of steel, it
is supposed.
CiRctiT Court. The arguments in
the case-of Hudspeth vs. Allen & Cferke
were closed about 6 o'clock last evening
i v Mr. John B. Chandler, on behalf of
the plaintiff, and after a brief charge by I
9 j
Judge Parrott, the Jury retired to, if j
possible, unravel the Ion?; web of test:- j
tnonv, and to clear away the fog thrown j
, , , , , . , .
around to? case by the counsel in their
twelve hours speeches. When the Jury
will rer.uVr a verdict, it is impossible to I
,,. . ,. . , '
conjecture. If tt shall not be necessary lo I
sf". ve out a writ f Inquerendo Lunatic-
in behalf of one of the jurors, it shall dt -

iKa?" Indianapolis is either very poorlv
sup J lied with schools, or unusually welj .
Supplied with children. To such an ex. ,
tent are the primary schools of that city i
,
crowded, that the chtldren have to be dl. !
vided into two classes one-half going to i
school in the forenoon, and the other i
i w .1 i mi s j m '
nan in tue anernoon. mat Kina ot an
arrangement don't speak well for the en
terprise of a great city like Indianapolis.
In this particular she had better copy
after Evansville, which builds larger
houses, and more of them, when her
school rooms become too crowded.
Jggr The Vincennes Sun says a little
daughter of Mr. John Richardville, near
the city, strayed from her home last Sat,
urday. Like young Lovel's bride,
In the highest, the lowest, the loneliest spot.
They sought her ia vain, but found her not,
until about nine o'clock the next night
when she was found by a faithful dog,
sleeping on the ground a few rods from
the house.
Rebkl Outrages in Kenton Col xty,
Kt. We learn from the Cincinnati pa
pers that, for a week or two past , the
loyal people of that portion of Kenton
county lyiug south of Independence have
been kept in constant terror on accoun
of the presence in their midst of a gang
of outlaws, who seem determined to kill
all men who have been consipcious in
their devotion to the Union cause. The
dwellings of a number of Union men
have been attacked, recently, by parties
supposed to be in the interest of the re
bels, and, although no one has been in
jured, so far, the people in that section
are daily expecting to hear of some bar
barous murder, similar to the Wiletuan
affair, is Pendleton county.
A few nights ago at soldier was shot
at while riding. along a road, near Inde
pendence, and many other circumstan
ces oave occurred to warrant the belief
that there is a regularly organized ganir
of rebel guerrillas mid murderers inflat
ing the upper portion of Kenton county.
We trust the military authorities will give
immediate attention to the matter.

Pap Price Again in T rouble Mutiny
Among the Rebels They Fall Back
from Arltadelphia.
Cairo, Oct. 22. The Memphis Argus
has Little Rock news to the 11th.
All was quiet there.
On the 26th nit, Kirby Smith visited
the rebel army at Arkadelphia, and find
ing Price's forces demoralized, relieved
him from command, and placed General
Holmes in his stead.
The men have harbored hard feelings
against Holmes ever since the battle of
Helena, and consequently after the
placing of Holmes over Price's army,
both officers and men swore they would
not submit to the change.
The streets of Arkadelphia are crowd
ed with officers and men in confusion.
Between Saturday afternoon and and
the Thursday morning following, from
500 to 700 men deserted.
The whole command of the trans-Mississippi
are estimated at less than 20,000
effective men.
Owing to the disaffection on the part
of the men, to prevent desertions, the
army removed further south. The com
missary and quartermaster stores have
been removed farther south on to the
Rio Grande.
Gen. Smith's headquarters are at Mar
shall. Shelby had crossed the Arkansas
river in the direction of Missouri, to look
after a number of Missourians who had
deserted. He had SOO well mounted
men. Col. Cloud had went in pursuit.
Nothing has been heard of him.
Since the defeat of the (.'on federates
at Helena a better feeling had existed
between Price and Holmes, but after the
supercedure of Price by Holmes the ani- ! ge
mosity had increased, which had result- '
ed in a cWilenge to fight a duel. The j -difficulty
was settled by friends of the j
two officers, and they are the best of
friends again.
The reconciliation had a good effect
on Holme's command.
A strong Union feeling begins to mani- j
fest itself in Northern Texas. About
the time the news of the surrender of
Vicksburg and Port Hudson secret or- i
ganizations were formed, a number of j
men holding situations under the Con- j
federate Government becoming mem- 1
bers.
At the August election Morgan, the j
Union candidate, was elected for Con

ams' rebel cavalry, numbering 200 Our
loss one killed. Rebel loss fifteen killed
and wounded. The rebeis were driven

A Vicksburg letter of the 13th, says :
We shall, in all probability, have a
Provisional Government established in
Mississippi in two or three weeks. Col.
Markland. of Ky., is spoken of as most
likely to fill the gubernatorial chair.
A letter says important movements
are on the tapis, and in two weeks there
will be no armed foe on the soil of Mis

Official Report of General Burnside
-The Enemy Driven from the State
Six Bridges, Three Locomotives,
and Thirty-Five Cars Destroyed.
"2b Major-General Halleck, Washing
ton: "Knoxville, Tenn., Oct 17. On the
8th inst the enemy held down as far as
Blue Springs, and a cavalry brigade of
ours held Bull's Gap, supported by a
small body of infantry at Morristown.
I accordingly dispatched a brigade of
cava'ry around by Rogersville to inter
cept the enemy's retreat, and with a con
siderable body of infantry and artillery
moved to Bull's Gap. On Saturday, the
10th inst, 1 advanced a cavalry brigade
to Blue Springs, where they found the
enemy strongly posted and offering stub
born resistance.
" Skirmishing continued until about
five o'clock in the afternoon, when I sent
a division of infantry, who charged and
cleared the woods gallantly, driving the
enemy in confusion until dark. During
the night the enemy retreated precipi
tately, leaving their wounded in our
hands. We pursued in the morning
with infantry and cavalry.
" The interceptingjforce met them at
Henderson's, but owing to a misunder
standing withdrew and allowed them to
pass with only a slight check.
"The pursuit was continued until
evening, when I withdrew most of my
infantry, and returned to this place.
Gen. Shackelford, with his cavalry and a
brigade of infantry, continued the pur
suit, the enemy making a stand a', every
important position, but has driven them
completely from the State, capturing the
fort at Zollicofier, and burning the long
railroad bridge there, and five other
bridges, and destroying three locomo
tives and about thirty-live cars. His ad
vance is now ten miles beyond Bristol.
Our loss at Blue Springs and in the pur
suit was about 100 killed and wounded.
The eneaiy's loss was considerably
greater. About loO prisoners were ta-

. splendid assortment of Optical Instruments,
which he will dispose of at greatlv reduced
prices ; bis goods being all of the very "latest im
provements In manufacture, consisting of a very
large xti, ty of Spectacles from the most common
to the vrry best, vis : The finest quality of Gold
Spectacles, these Glasses being constructed on the
most accurate adaptation of the Convex Codcavo
Periscoplc principles. Also, Sliver of three dif
ferent grades of Glasses, No. 1 being on the same
principle as the Gold Spectacles. No 2 is a Peri
focal Lenae ; No. 3 being a fine Achromatic Lsnse,
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 bo fine as to be scarcely visible. No. 2
of steel is Perifocal No. 3 the globules of a
smoked Lcnse, adapted for weak sight where
strong light, snow or wind affects the vision.
These 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 aud business for years, he alone being able
to know from, the peculiar anatomy of the eye the
uature of the defect, whether arising from weak
nessof s ght, flattening of the pupil, or other
misfortune occurring to the vision. The eye be
ing the most delicate ...rjraji, and of the most vital
importance to the happiness and prosperity of
man, should never be tampered with, either by
tho 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 theeye, or how to discover the proper glasses to
suit the peculiarity of the different eights of those
needing spectacles, thousands have lost their
vision entirely from not applying to those only
3 uallfied to know the different defects in each in
ividual's sight, and how to remedv it bv wearing
the proper kind of spectacles. I. Kittenberg-,
having had over twenty-five years experience as a
regular practical optician, can assure those giving
him their patronage that by applying to him they
can get the very right kind of glasses adapted to
their case, and in alniest every one secure good
eye sight to old age. New sighted persons can
also obtain of him the latest improvement in
spectacles snited to them, being a new invention.

with Astromical eye pieces, being very suporior
to tha old opera glass arrangement. All kinds ol
