ITHAS LONG BEEN A CAUSE
 OF DEEP COMPLAINT, THAT THE
 s@ SpectaCles, 9@

E USUALLY to De procured make the Eyes | SJ ache, and create a feeling of unpleasant es, the 1st being the usually inaccurate grinding of the ordinary Lenses, and the 2d, The want o1 Skill in the fitting. It is we'll known by the in- itiated that no one can become a perfect Opti- elan without having profound knowledge of that most intricate subject-Ths Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Eye
 Mere theoretical knowledge of the subject will prove of but little avail to any person, un- less-liks the advertisers, they have superadded long and careful experience in the practical part of their profession. The SpectacIes offered by
 Messrs. Lazarus & Morris, arc entirely free from any such objections as oc- cur with those ordinarily sold. and their perfect knowledge of .he profession enables them to fit the Eye most skilfully and accurately.
 To these wavering between the WANT ot SPECTACLES, and the DISLIKE naturally felt at being obliged to wear them,
 NlESSRS. LAZARUS & MORRIS Would say that timely adoption of their beau tiful Lenses will obviate the continuous use of them for many yearS-mere occasional use, when the Eyes feel tired from close application -sutficing to restore them, and so to enable such persons, whose sight is just failing, to avoid the constant use of Spsctscles-a dsside- ratum most valuable.
 In cases of Impaired or Diseased Vision, these Specsacles CAGSCT BE TOO HIGHLY CoElEsDab The system II EssRs LAZARUS X MORRIS inra- riabiy pursue of examining the Eye, and So ac- curately fitting it-let the defect be what 1t may -conjoined with the quality of their Improved Lenses have of conferrilg distinctness and drall- iancy of vision. enables hem to afford great and unexpected relief in cases almost hopeless.
 The advertisers cannot here give the numer- o,ls recommendations they have received from the very large and highly respectable portion of thc community who have favored them with their patronage, but for the satisfaction of all who may be unacquanted with the 3l,ssrs. L.. x NJ they can produce an unlimited amount of written tss tim onials for their inspection.
 The whole business of the advertisers Is con ducted under their constant personal supeIvls- ion. and they pledge themselves that it shall be conducted in the future in the same .n.
 Honorable and Fains-taking Manner as has so sninently distinguished it in the past They have always on hand an immense stock Of their
 Celebrated Slsecsacies, in Gold Silver and Steel Frames, at strictly moderate prices.

AIamance Comfy.

r. Y. McAden, Esq, and DR.. E. F. Watson are
the Conservative and Reform candidates for the
Commons in Alamance. They are good and true
men, and we trust our friends to man in Alamance
will vote for them.
We again caution the Conservatives of Alamance
and other Counties to beware of divisions. Vote
for the right men, and for just enough of the right
men to ensure success. Our opponents, having de-
SPARED of defeating Col Vance, are bending all their
efforts to carry the Legislature. We can beat them
in this aso if we will unite and cork for the Con-
sentative candidates. Col. Vance will not be able
to carry out the reform which is so much needed,
unless he is sustained by the Legislature; and a
Legislature of ul:ras and hot heads would be sure
to embarrass him all they could Let US all remem-
Der this and act accordingly.

The Latest News,


We gather but few items of news from our ex-
changes
There are indications about Richmond of restless
ness on the part of the enemy. He appeared in
small force at the White House on the Pamunky
on Saturday last and drove in our pickets. 1t is
rumored that Mcclellan has removed some of his
forces higher up the river.
portion of Pope's army is still in Cupepper,
laying their hands upon every thing they choose to
steal At Fredericksburg the reign of terror had
commenced. The Yankees were still at Winches-
ter, and some of Pope's cavalry are said to have
been in the valley.
The Richmond Dispatch says that the cartel for
the exchange of prisoners was signed on the 22d,
by Gems. Hill and Dix. This does not agree with
the Enquirer's former statement that negotiations
had been broken off on account of the condition
that private citizens should not be arrested, being
proposed.
Halleck has been appointed by Lincoln Comman-
der in-chief of his land forces
From the West, we learn that the Yankees were
advancing into Mississippi.
The grand army Of General Bragg is said to be
moving Northward 1t is said that the people OF
Memphis will soon have cause to rejoice. Several
officers had resigned in Curtis army on account of
the slavery policy of Lincoln.

We doubt much whether there are many of our

association, his education and every thing about
