War Meetings
"ill be held in the County, as follows: :
At the Hilliard meeting house to-night 1
(Friday.)
At Hooker s school house on Saturday
night.
At th' meeting house, in Stringtown,
on Monday night.
The meeting will be addressed by R.
A. Hill, Esq., Chas. E. Marsh and oat
Ma A war meeting was held night be
fore last at the McCutchionville school
house, at which much interest was man
ifested. After addresses by R. A. Hill
and Cbas. E. Marsh, a committee of five
influential and energetic men was ap
pointed to procure enlistments. A fur
ther number will be added to the com
mittee at the meeting on Saturday night
at Hooker's school house. Centre town
ship is getting in earnest.
EVAXSTLLLE MECHANICS. We doubt if
any city in the State possesses more me
chanical skill and ability than Evans
ville. We every day see evidences of
this fact in all branches of industrial
pursuits, in masonry, carpentery, stone
cutting, and painting. In the latter
branch, Evansville is particularly rich.
The sign painting just finished on the
wholesale establishment of L. Loewen
thal & Co., corner of Main and First
streets,. Uy Mr. Zumstein, is a clear vin
dication of our boast in that branch.
Handsome Paintings We have no- i
ticed, for the last day or two, a couple of
handsome paintings, at Mr. Healy's
Book Store, the work of Miss Julia Horn
brook, which are highly creditable to her
as an amateur artist
They are both copies from sketches,
one of a child and the other a landscape,
with cattle, sheep, &c, the latter a par
m ticularly well executed work of art.
As a conception of the original artist,
there are several points subject to criti
cism, but we are assured it is a close
copy of the original greatly amplified.
The execution of these paintings indi
cate a high degree of artistic ability, as
Miss Hornbrook has had but few lessons
and those not by masters in the art of
oil painting.
The coloring is particularly well exe
cuted, and there is a life and freshness
about the paintings which we seldom meet
with in works of this kind.
We hope the gifted authoress of these
handsome paintings will cultivate her
talents in this line, as we are confident
she will excel.
Bold Attkmpt to Commit Robbery.
We are informed that on
Wednesday :
evening, while the guests and boarders
of the Washington House were at supper,
some bold thief concealed himself in the
room of Major Mank, under the bed.
After the Major had retired and had
fallen into a light sleep, the villain com
menced his operations by slipping tbe
Major's revolver from beneath his pil
low. He then proceeded to search the
body of the Major for further booty, but
his manipulations wakened the Major,
who at once seized the robber by the
the throat with one hand, while with the
other he felt for his revolver under his
pillow. The robber, however, succeeded
in freeing himself from the Major's grasp
and left in a hurry, carrying the Major s
revolver with him. No clue to the thief
has been discovered- Our city is full of
rogues, and people cannot be too careful
of guarding their premises.
The Evansville Journal charges
us with copying not an item but an
idea, from its columns! We beg your
anion, Bro. Silverthorn, we saw the
idea in Godey's Lady's Bc''k two weeks
before it appeared in the Jox'.rnal. Sil
verthorn says he intends to copyright his
fun hereafter! Of course, tou take the
right to copy, but the next time you do
so, and claim it as original, do not copy
from so widely circulated publication as
Godey. Wabash Express.
"That cat won't jump," Perry. We
have not looked into a copy of Godey's
Lady's Book for more
than a year, and
are not aware that
any Such an idea is
contained in that widely circulated pub-
lication.
We took our idea from an actual oc-
. ,
currence that transpired in front of our
office, and our idea suggested to you the i
idea of profiting by the idea contained
n Godey. A candid confession, Perry, I
is good for the soul.
A Handsome and Appropriate Pres

Josh. V. Throop, sent him yesterday an !
exquisite lithographic representation of

The scene represented is tho wooding

fire streaming from her tall " stacks," the

dappled clouds, and the Diana coming

ble Treatment of Union Prisoners.
Washixgton, Nov. ". Mr. Bohaven,
who was captured in the vicinity of Oco
quan Creek last Christmas, and lately
returned to his home in Alexandria, has
informed the Journal that Castle Thun
der is the only prison in Richmond
where prisoners are allowed to purchase
anything.
Shortly after the battle of Chicamauga
about 200 Union prisoners arrived at
Richmond from the field. They were
almost all in a famishing and starving
condition. They were four days between
the two points, and all they had to eat in
that time was four hard crackers eauh.
On their arrival at Richmond they were
taken to Libby Prison, where they laid
two days longer without having their
wounds dressed, and during all of which
time they had not a mouthful to eat.
Some of them, who were fortunate enough
to have a little money, offered $4 for a
loat ot bread, but ihe othcers in charge
would not let it be carried to them. Mr.
B. left Richmond in a flag of truce boat
ii company with about 200 persons.
When the vessel neared Drurv s Bluff,
the prisoners were made to lie flat clown
on the deck, and a special guard was
placed over them, that they might be
prevented from seeing the fortifications.

most accurate adaptation of the Convex Concavo

smoked Lense, adapted for weak sight when
strong light, snow or wind affects the vision
These Spectacles are a perfect preventative by nse
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 alls
to know from the peculiar anatomy of the eye the
nature of the defect, whether arisi ng from weak
ness of sight, flattening of the pupil, or other
misfortune occurring to the visien. The eye be.
ing the most delicate organ, 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 upon themselves tbe 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 ol the different sights of those
needing spectacles, thousands have lost their
vision entirely from not applying to those oaly
qualified to know the different defects in each in
dividual's sight, and how to remedv it hv wearing
the proper kind of spectacles. I. Bittenberg,
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 rase, and in almest everv one secure good
eye sight to eld age. Ncir sighted persons can
also obtain of him th- latest improvement in
spectacles suited to them, being a new invention.
