Keller Tor Soldier's Families.
To the People of Indiana:
The near approach of winter, and the
high price everything of prime necessity
bears, .induces me again to call the i
attention of the people of the State to
the important duty of making liberal j
and timely provisions for the relief of J
the families of our brave soldiers now
serving in the field. The increased i
price of living, if no other reason were
urged, ought to be a sufficient argument
for the immediate adoption of proper j
measures for relief. Notwithsanding !
the partial loss of crops, and the scarci- i
ty 01 taoor, ine general tnntt and pros
perity are universal. A kind Providence
has dealt mercifully with you under all
your burdens, and His voice appeals to :
every heart, asking that from your plen
ty you will minister to the needy and
destitute. The absent soldier whose i
family or dependent ones at home may
be unprovided with food and cloth
ing, needs, and must have, that encour- ;
agement which will assure him that they
wall not suffer. This is but the simple i
duty of our people, an obligation
which I know, from past experience,
will be promptly and faiithfully ;met.
An efficient working committee in '
each ward and township should
at once be selected, with such assistants
and sub-committees as may be necessary,
who can easily ascertain tie number of
families within their limits requiring aid,
and estimate the quantity, kind and cost
of all supplies needed during the win
ter. Contributions can be taken up ac
cordingly. In this work the Township
Trustees and officers of the various
Churches will doubtless lead a willing
hand. Especially do I desire that the
Ministers of the Gospel should present
this subject to their respective congrega- i
tions, to co-operate, as far as possible, in
carrying out the general plan of relief.
O. P. Morton,
Governor of Indiana.

A Fast Steamer Captured by Rebels
She is recaptured by the D Soto.
Washington, Oct 20. The Navy De
partment has received information that
the steam ship De Soto, during the lat
ter part of October, when in the South
West Pass, received information that a
steamer had been boarded by a band of
rebels and carried out of the river.
After a run of thirty-five miles, she
was captured and proved to be the Le
viathan. She is a new and very fast screw
steamer, was amply supplied with coal
and provisions for a cruise with a picked j
crew.
Captain Walker he feels the greatest j
satisfaction in announcing that success j
as when the Boston, a mac hp nferior ves- i
sel was carried, off some months since
soon fell upon her track and had oppor
ttttuty of witnessing the desolatation she j
spread in her path, blackening the sea

Roiterans's Reception Hla Speech to
the People.
Cincinnati, Oct. 26. General Rese
crans arrived here about 11 o'clock this !
morning, and was escorted to the Burnet j
Honse by an immense crowd of citi- ;
sens.
The General was enthusiastically wel
rnmed throughout the entire
line
march. i
Judge Storer introduced him to the
crowd, and said that his fellow-eitizeus
appreciate the work he has done for the .
country, and assure him of their nn- j
shaken confidence. While he has never
dishonored his native State, the State has
never forgotten him.
Alluding to his removal from the army
of the Cumberland, he said that the peo
ple would require the records upon which
Ikat action was based.
General Kosecrans returned inannsior
uenerai avuoc--." .-v-.
the expressions oi vuira.,ur .y.
which this public reception implied.
While he felt flattered by it he could
not forget that tie heart of the people
.s not go out to individuals alone.
It is the principle for which we ar
contending the struggle for national
life that produces such assemblies.
He asked the people never to forget
their duty to the Government, whatever
might occur to individuals.
The question as to how he had been
used he desired to leave for future time
to answer.
Some friends of mine in New York,
he said, are very solicitous about my
health. The army of the Cumberland
thinks I am well enough, and S3 I am.
As for the quantity of opium I have
taken consult my druggist
The New York and Washington papers
have said that Gen. Crittenden and Mc
Cook intend making charges against me.
They have assured me that they regret
exceedingly that such false stories have
been circulated.
He said since the battle of Chicka
mauga, he had received a letter of ap
proval from the President for his action
; in that affair, and said whatever charges
! might appear in Eastern papers against
! him, he was satisfied that the Govern-
ment was in no way responsible for it
! He expressed his readiness to do what
! ever the Government required of him.
'At the conclusion of his speech cheers
were given for Kosecrans and the army
j of the Cumberland.
Rosecrans' welcome throughout was
j earnest and hearty.

RITTENB ERG 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 the most copmon
to the very best, vix: The finest quality of Gold
Spectacles, these Glasses being constructed on the
most accurate adaptation of the Convex Concavo
Periscopic principle. Also, Silver of three dif
ferent grades of Glasses, No. 1 being on the same
principle as the Gold Spectacles. No. 2 is a Peri
focal Lense ; No. I being a fine Achromatic Lens,
mirror shape.
In addition to toe 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 tine as to be scarcely visible. No. 2
of s eel Is Perifocal No. 3 the globules of a
smoked Lense, adapted for weak sight where
stror.g light, snow or wind affects the vision.
These Spectacles are a perfect preventative by use
ing t hem constantly, causing the eye to gain its
heal '.by power and retain it to old age.
Having had very considerable experience also in
cataract eyes, in adapting glasses to such vision,
would impress on the minds of all persons need
ing ( lasses of any descriptiou, to apply for such
only to a regular Optician, making that his sols
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
ness of sight, flattening of the pupil, or other
misfortune occurring to the vision. The eye be
ing the most delicate orgap, and of the most vital
importance to the happiness and prosperity of
man, should never be tampered with, either by
the individual or by those who, for mere profit,
take npon themselves the selling of Optical In
struments, and who know- nothing of the anatomy
of the eye, or how to discover the 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
quaunea to Know tne atnerent detects in each in
dividual's sight, and how to remedy it by wearing
the proper kind of spectacles. X Rittenberg,
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 vary right kind of glasses adapted to
their case, aad in almest every one secure .good
eye sight to old age. Ne ir sighted persons can ,
also obtain of him the latest improvement in
spectacles suited to ihcin, being a new invention. I
1 have also the most recently new Field Glasses,
with Astromical eye pieces, being very suporior
to tha old opera glass arrangement. All kinds of '
Optical Instruments repaired at the shortest no.
tice, and these havintr pnrchased spectacles of me,

; lenses, can have it replaced gratuitously hy apply- '
