POOR RICHARDS
EYE & EAR WATER!
NO Organs of the human system are more impor-
tant to health and comfort than the EYE and
EAR, and yet are less understood or more neg

and yet every part of the body is dependent upon
them for life and health.

full in its operations putting to blush the old systems

as good. Below we give the certificate of Rev r. s.

Letcher ON Lincoln.

The annual message of John Letcher, Gov
ernor of Virginia, delivered to the Legisla-
ture of that State on the 9th inst, after
abusing Secretary Cameron for his propo-
sition to use the contrabsnds in army service,
recites the rebel indictment against the
President in this amusing style:
1.-THE history" of Abraham Lincoln "is a
history of repeated injuries and usurpations,
all having for their object the establishment
OF an absolute tyranny over these" Con-
federate States.
To this end 'he has affected to render the
military independent of and superior to the
civil power"
He has combined with Pierpont and other
traitors in Virginia ITO subject us to a iuris.
diction foreign to our constitution and unac-
knowledged by our laws, giving assent to
their acts of pretended legislation"
He is endeavoring to quarter "large bo-
dies of armed troops among u.s."
| he is endeavoring to cut off "our trade
with all parts of the world"
He is endeavoring to impose takes upon
us without our consent"
He is endeavoring to deprive US, Tin
many cases, of the benefits of trial by Jury
He has abdicated government here by
declaring US out of his protection and wa.
ging war against u.s."
HE has plundered our seas, ravaged oui
coasts burned our towns and destroyed the
lives of our people,"
"He is at this time transporting large bo
dies of mercenaries to complete the work oil
death, desolation and tyranny already begun
with circumstances of cruelty and per6dy
scarcely paralleled in the most barbarouI
ages, and totally unworthy of a civilized
nation"

Resignation of secretary Cameron.


The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune writes under date of
January ID, as follows:
If bombehell had fallen into the Senate
Chamber it would not have produced q
greater sensation than did the Presidents 8
nomination of Mr.. Stanton to the Office of
Secretary of War, followed by the nomina-
tion OF Simon Cameron as Minister to Rus.
sia. 1t was felt to be the solemn condemna-
tion by the Administration aud the regular
army, of the policy of emancipation and
arming the slaves of rebels, so strongly rec
commended in the report of the Secretary
Of War. Senators saw in il an open issue
with the Anti Slavery feeling of the North
snd West, and shrank from the prospect of
evils so suddenly opened to the eyes Of men
already weary with watching this war. No
vote was taken on these unexpected nomina.
tions, although Senator Sumner promptly
moved their confirmation. They were laid
over till tomorrow, with the silent acquies.
cence that wishes to measure danger before
graphing with it. Mr.. Cameron was nomi
mated by the President as Minister to Russia,
as a testimonial of his personal regard and
a recognition of the value of his great serV-
ices as Secretary of War. If the acce ptauce
OF this mission should be interpreted by the
public as a compromise of his Anti. Slavery
views, there can be no doubt that Mr.. Cam
eron would unhesitatipgly decline it.

Messieurs Senators and Representatives |
let the Reform begin within the walls of the
Capitol itself Look at the following items
Of expenditure for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1861, and see for how many of them
you can answer to the people who are endur-
ing such unparalleled sacrifices in behalf of
the common cause For the single item of
stationery, there are expended for the Senate
$4,000, or about $l90 for each Senator; for
newspapers $780, more than $50 for each
Senator; for 'niscellaneous" 500, 900; for
$1,000 for each; and for binding, lithograph-
ing and engraving $3.50, 72l 10, or nearly
$4,000 more each, making in all more than
$4,000 for each Senator. This does not in
clude the expense for printing. The total
for the items enumerated amounts TO $751;
555 IL, sum greater by $3.50 IS than
that drawn for compensation and mileage.
In the House 1863 SO was expended for
stationery; $l2,5O0 for newspapers; $l27,-
727 2s for miscellaneous" $3lS,0o0 80 for
folding, binding, engraving and lithograph-
ing; 1914 "a for the Congregational Globe;
$237997 sc for paper; and $l74,lA 75 to
meet deficiencies in appropriations made for
paper and printing in the same year, making
a total for these items of $966, 042 55 for the
House, and for the Senate and House of
81, 1857 &C. And this does not include
the cost of the public printing office. The
amount drawn for mileage and compensa-
tion for Representatives for the year was
1851, $40 SO, 30 that each Representative cost
the country in addition TO his salary and
mileage nearly SO, 500 for stationery, books,
etc. The expenditure for pages, clerks and
other employees is on an equally lavish scale,
and the total expenditure for both Houses,
for all these purposes exceeds So 000, 900.

Pupctuality is a cardinal virtue. We al
ways like 10 see people punctual, whether at
church, lecture, wedding or funeral.
The habit of being tardy, at all times and
under any circumstances, seems to be peeu-
liarly attached to many people. No matter
what the occasion, they are always behind
time, disturbers of the peace and quiet of the
punctual.
1t is decidedly pleasant TO be seated in a
lecture room, and while the lecturer is in
one of his brilliant periods, Or perhaps, Civ
ing fine passage upon the poetry of words,
to be disturbed by the entrance of one. half
dozen tardy ones, who forget to come till a
late hour, when they should have forgotten
to come at all. Job, we opine, was never
troubled in this way, or he should surely
have lost his title to being the most patient
Of men.
The habit of punctuality can be as easily
acquired as any, and certainly is COM
mendable virtue. The Bible commands US
to be in season but not out of it. The
man who meets not punctually his pecuniary
obhgatiOns is deservedly censured by his
ieioW-men. Then why not he who is ever
late AZ the public gathering, where, of all
places, every thing should be done with de-
cency and in order2 This habit of being
forever late is one OF the greatest annoysnces
OF life. To be disturbed at the lecture
church, or any assembly, by those entering
late, and thus interrupting both speaker and
listener, is, to say the least, a public nui-
sance. Time is thus wasted, the attention
distracted, and much that is useful and valu.
able lost. Punetuality should be inscribed
upon the doors of our churches, over the en-
frances Of our lecture rooms, upon our ban
uers, Sad written all over, so that he who
runs may read.

Are All Doing Their Dutrs

1t is believed that near ten thousand per-
sops have gone from this city into the ranks
of the army. Many of these left behind
families, supplied to but limited extent
with the necessaries of life, depending upon
the work that might be obtained from day to
day for subsistence, until their protectors
could send them portion of their pay. There
is some suffering in our city now-yes, q
good deal of it. The recent suspension Of
Government work here has thrown several
thousand out of employment, who managed,
by close economy, to get along with the pit
tsnce earned by sewing and otherwise.
Should work not be resumed again, there
will be still greater want and suffering before
spring.
Under these circumstances should we not
all look about US and see if we are doing our
duty in the premisesP Those who have
gone to serve their country in arms, are
doing their part-are we doing ours Every
one can do some good. And there is no
better time than just now for showing the
sincerity of our faith by appropriate deeds.
There ia not an individual among US in good
health and employment who can not render
some service by kindly acts toward uu-
fortunate neighbors-toward the wives,
widows and children of those who have
risked health and life in struggling for all
that we hold sacred in our nationality.
Let not our giving be limited to the con
tEibutions made in churches, or by a few
garments presented by a Relief Society.
These are well enough as far as they go, but
something more is required. The families
ofVolunteers should not be looked upon in
the light of paupers; they are justly entitled
to share of the attention which generous
persons usually bestow upon families suffer-
ing under penuniary or other bereavements.
The courtesies shown to a soldiers family
in his absence would stimulate him to in
creased zeal in discharging his duties
Those who are disposed to aid in putting
down this rebellion without taking up arms
for that purpose, may perform an important
part by contributing of their means to re
lieVe the pressing wants of the families Of
those now absent. Let US all look to it thai
we thus give cheer and encouragement
thereby doing our duty and strengthening
the arms of our brave volunteers.
