This very delicate and beautiful
nrgan is exposed to many injuries.
,.va.ll protected by by several a'lni-
rabIs contriyances. which demon
.,,ate design Il considerable kindness
d, the part Of the Creator.
A fact is stated in the newspapers,
which ought to be generally knowo.
4 pers0l entering ropm where q
a,mtlenan was sitting, placed his
hands over his eyes in a playful!
muod, requiring the gentleman to
guess his name-a practice not un-
common, but, as it proved in this
Ease. a dangerous one. The gentle-
man .sade strong efforts tn disengage
hlnself. and when realeased. he
aund himself entirely blind. No vi
shle injury had been sustained by
ria eyes; bat it is at least probable,
thai in the struggle. the optic nerves
were either ruptured or otherwise
rendered useless. II is well kn0wn
taNt the eye is merely an instrument.
2y means Of its huianrs, which an
sser tic purpose of lenses, the rays
Of ligh, are brought to focus on the
retina, forming an image OF the ex-
ternal object. The retina is al, ex-
tension of The medullary potion OF
the optic nerves, which are connect
ed with the brain. IF these nerves
are divided, the communication is
destroyed, and the eyes are rendered
useless, though otherwise perfect.
The following case, related by an
English sargeon is IN point:
In going through an hospital on
the Quay at Ostend. in order to as
sst the wounded French officers that
arrived from Waterloo the night be
fors, | was accosted by a tall man of
about fifty years of ages Brigadier
General. He was a true picture Of
the old Napoleon soldier-tbe thick
mastachio-the dark cured and care
less Iocks-the stern Countenance-
the round earrings the decoration
Of the legion Of honor-all marked
him out as one of the sons Of glory.
He advanced towards me bowling.
and seemed to fix his full black eyes
ON mine, as he asked for my assis-
etance. begged to knew where be
was wounded; and he informed NE
that he had been shot through the
head, that the wounds were nearly
healed, but that he was quite blind.
Il looked at his eyes aud saw no al
teration in them from the natural APP
pearances; but on closer Inspection.

He then showed me the entrance and
exit of the ball. 1t entered between
the top line OF the ear and whisker.
and having passed across the head,
came ont exactly opposite between
the other ear and whiaker. 1t was
therefore evident that the loss of Vi
sion was 0ecasioned by the optic
nerves having been totally divided
by the ball in its passage. From the
intensity with which examined his
case, he seemed to gather hopes OF
relief. hesitated as / told him OF
the ilreparabIe loss of his sight; and

i Virginia unhappily remained in bon.
dage--and by the census of 1920 in
stead OF population of TWO millions
and half, which she could probab,
have attained if free, had little more
than one million, OF which 445 600 were
slaves; exposing deficiency arising
from this source in that single state oil
tzvo millions Of free persons.
In the value Of land, and the amount
OF manufacturing and commercial CAPT
tai, and oil capital vested in public insii-
tutions--canals, hospitals, seninaries OF
earning, &c. the con rast is still more
remarkable; a tenfotd proportion in Ia
, vor OF the free states is probably below
the truth. To this add the number and
vast superiority of their towns and cities
and cultivated farms, with the industry,
tranquility, and security of the inhabi-
tants.
PGrsue the comparison throughout
the Union, and such is the lam enlable
result; misery and vice restraining po-
pulation where slavery prevails, and
drying up all The sources of prosperity.
We are assembled this day to make
our election between freedom with its
blessings, and slavery with its curses
unut,erable: between good and evil.
Indiana, our sister state, has given Us
an example 81 wisdom by an ovei whelm-
ing majority against, a slave-making con-
ven,ion.
Ohio, another sister, rejoicing in her
own freedom is exerting herself in the
generous hope of laying foundation
Tor universal emancipation; as appears
by an earnest appeal to the Union lately
issued by her legislature.
United as we are with these states in a
solemn ooupac, against the admission
of slavery. let Illinois approve herself
worthy OF their Affinity: and coming for
ward with one consent on the side OF WIS
dom and virtue, let us disappont the
hopes Of shor.sighted parry among
us, whs would sacrifice our permanent
interests TO their mistaken views of tenn
porery advantage.
The individual who presumes thus O.
address you is no politician; has no oD-
Iects at variance with the general well
fare no ambition but to be the friend o.
mankind, and especially Of his brethren
and feliow-citlzens OF this state.

SIR--M reply to your note of this morning,
the following brief statement is subritted
The amount due by you to this Bank, at this
time, OF note bearing date the 30th October
1921, is $40.
The Bank, at the date above mentioned,
held one other note on you for $500. but that
note asbeen longs passedinto other hands.
The above mentioned two notes, embrace
the only claim the Bank either now has, or
ever had against you, individually, of which
have any knowledge.
have nothing in my possession which would
shew that you stand as an endorser for any
other person than Gen. Payne on any note
discounted by the Bank"
The books Of the Bank shew that yon are
the proprietor of fifty shares of its capital
stock, on which the sum of five hundred dol
lars has been paid. Very respectfully.

GENTLEMEN,
lam one of Gen. John Payne's endorscrs, in
a sum exceeding twelve thousand dollars, in
the Banking Institution over which you pre-
side, and h, reby require of you to bring suit
against said Payne before he leaves the state,
or shall consider myself discharged from all
liability therefor. He is now in this county,
and on his way to Kentucky. Respectfully,

1t WILDE seen by this statement, that at
this time owe to the Bank $40, which is to
be paid in state paper, and which. in consc-
qnence Of my holding larger amount of the
capital stock of the Bank, (that being S500,)
has not been called for. 1t will also be seen,
that did heretofore owe $500, besides the
sum now due. Neither Of these sums, how
ever, were borrowed by me tfrom the Bank.
They were debts due by others, and which, in
the course of my own business, assumed to
pay.
The note for $500 was assigned away by
the Bank, and have since paid it.
On my endorsement for Gen. Payne, it may
not have been known to the Kaskaskia editor,
that I am not liable, nor SO considered by the
Bank reference, however, to the notice
which gave to the Bank, and here published,

merce and improved agriculture, says {:
" We have been far oulstripped ID The

United States from Virginia, and one Of
the abIest men OF that body, has long
been distinguished for his extensive
knowledge Of agricultural pursuits, and
is the author of several highly valuable
trea,ises on farming. He has thorough
ly investigated the effects OF slavery upon
the farming interest in Virginia. In
treating Of this subject he says that "the
fertility Of Virginia has long been de-
cIining" and observes, that "the decay
in the culture Of tobacco is testimony te

COMMUNICATIONS.
TO TIE PEOPLE or ILLKvOIS.

EbLhW CITIZENS,
kiy protracted absence from the state has
enabled my opponents to assail me on some
subjects, probsblv so much to my prejudice as
rot 10 leave it in my power, owing to the short
period that remains to elapse before the cleo
zion, to satisfy you all CT the uninstness Of their
attacks. Your candor and Justice. however.
on all former occasions, in deciding on my
conduct, when i, has been the subject Of sub
lie investigation justly inspire me with conf
ience that they will not be withheld on the
present occasion. Had either or my friends
pursued system of attack or abuse towards
Gov. Bond since he has been candidate, nv
hopes off, dispassionate decision might not be so
strong as they are. But, much TO my satlsfac-
ton, AS well as to their credit, as humbiy con-
ceive, they have carefully avoided every thing
of tfat kind and should a different course be
adopted hereafter by any of them. hope and
believe it will be on the principles Of defence
only.
q Distracted and agitated as the state has been
for years past, by political contests, it seems
still TO be daomed to the same unhappy fate,
and that q few restless and ambitious men are
determined to keep up the strife until by some
favorable turn Of the wheel Of fortune, they
may be put into place and power, seems
scai.ely to be left to conjecture. but that
your favorable opinion OF my capacity and
sepvices, should render me in any degree aux
Hilary to the causes of this strife, is not less
painful to me than it is unfortunate for you
and were sure that such sacrifice would
reconcile them to more moderate and pacific
policy, should not hesitate to restore to your
bands the portion of official authority which you
have thought proper to confer upon me. Such
course, were my services even more valuable
IN Won than NV hest friends may conceive the IN
