Mr., EDIrOR:-In your article yester-
day, under the caption, THE way to
make Money" you, doubtless innocently,
damaged the aforesaid property, viz:
Two store houses, situated corner Main
and First streets, and occupied by
Messrs, Elliott and Healy, by placing the
value OF the improvements for insurance
at only $1,000 Oh. Towhich add the city
appraisement of the ground, say 40 feet,
At SIS per foot, and add $500 additional
for the corner, and you have s., 800; to
which add 1000 for Improvements, and
you have for ground and improvements,
Sl3, 500, according to your own valuation
Of the Improvements and the City Board
Of Equalization for the valuation of the
ground
TIE Board of Equalization is said to
be infallible as regards placing too low
a valuation on Real Estate; therefore
we must suppose the error to be yours, in
placing too low valuation on the i'm
provements The property ought to
bring more, for it looks as good as new

The Missouri acknowledgements
man Rollins Opposing the DeIega-
tion-What the President promises.
Especial to the Post. I

WASHINGTON, October 8.-Mr. John
Rollins, NJ c. from Missouri, is here,
working against the delegation from that
State in the Schofeld case.
President Lincoln promises that an
order shall be issued in Missouri similar
to that issued by Gen. Burnside in Ken
lucky, preventing rebels from voting in
the election to be held
This goes but little way towards
removing the real evils of which the
loyal men of Missouri complain, and
failing to reach that point, can hardly
prove satisfactory to those who desire to
see the government sustaining Office by
those men who Internationally support
every feature of its policy.
Subscriptions to the 500 loan are so
large that it is now certain that Mr.
Chase will not call for another loan this
year.
Gen. Hartsuff is here from East Ten
nessee.

Il. splendid assortment of Optical Instruments
which he will dispose of at greatly reduced

large variety of Spectaeles from the most common

most accurate adaptation Of the Convex Concavo

These Spectaces are perfect preventative by use-
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 0ptician, making that his sole
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, hattening of the pupil, or other
misfortune occurring to the vision. The eve be-
ing the most delicate organ, and of the most vital
Importance to the happiness and prosperity of
man, should never be tempered with. either by
the individual or by those who, for mere profit
take upon themselves the selling of Optical In
struments, and who know nothing of the anatomy
of theeye, or how to discover the proper glasses to
suit the popularity of the different sights of those
needing spectacles. Thousands have lost their
vision entirely from not applying to those only
qualified to know the different defects in each in
dividual's sight. and how to remedy it by wearing
the proper kind of spectacles.- i. 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 thew
can get the very right kind of glasses adapted to
their case, and in almest every one secure good
eye sight TO old age. Near sighted persons can
also obtain of him the latest improvement in
spectacles suited to them, being new invention.

News from the North West-E'isIx's
Expedition Massacred Report
Probably Untrue.

CHICAGO, October S.-A special from
St. Paul says: Intelligence was brought
by half breeds to Pembina that Captain
Fisk's overland expedition to Idahoe,
has been massacred by the Sioux Indi-
ans. Nothing definite was given of the
time or locality except it was on Big
Bear, tributary of the Missouri river.
The half breeds say the Indians dis
play as trophies, guns and other articles
known to have belonged to persons con-
nected with the expedition The special
says one hope for the report proving un-
true is that it may be another version of
an attack on party of miners who came
down the Missouri, accounts of which
have been already published.
