full in its operations putting TO blush the old systems
of treatment, which have quite often done harm
good. Below give the certificate of Rev. p. S.

of this remedy they may learn of its practical
value by addressing note of inquiry to Mr.. II.
PHILADKLPHIA, Oct. IL, ls62.
From injuries received in my right eye. when
boy, chronic Inflammation had been produced, in
consequence of which suffered constant martyr
dom. Every moment of my waking life ives embt-
tered, and was frequently unable to sleep At night
variety of remedies had been rcsorted to with
out success and entertained the purpose a last
resort of having the ball taken out of its socket, in
the hope of thus finding relief.
In the meantime. most providentially. i noticed
one day in shop window bottle of POOR RICH
ARDS EYE WATER. Thad never heard OF it be-
fore. but determined TO try it, and did with the most
delightful results. In very few days the painful
irritation removed; could bear the strongest
light and went forth to the enjoyment of new life
now keep bottle of ii always in the house, and if
my eye seems at all disposed to annoy me, give it
dose and that is an end of it. would not be with
out it for any amount of money. take occasion to
say further. that my wife used suffer severely at
times from protracted pain in and her eyes. and
cregn specific in her case giving her almost instant
relief Grateful to God for the benefit that have
personally received, cannot but commend the prep
aration to all who have been sufferers like myself.

POOR RICHARDS
EYE 81 EAR WATER |!

NO Organs of the human system are more impor-
~ tant TO health and comfort than the EYE and
EAR, and yet none are less understood more neg
lected. They seem TO pass common observation.
and yet every part of the body is dependent upon
them for life and health.

Don,t Flght RIght.

A correspondent of the Springfield Re-
publican, Captain in the Army of the Po-
tOmac, has theory to account for our
want of success in Sthe recent battles,
which is worthy of attention. He admits
that our men do not fight as we'll as the
rebels, and says:
"Still, in spite of all have said, it is by
no means the truth that our men are q
parcel of towards and bathrooms. They
are as brave as the average of people
quite as brave as our enemies are But we
don't,hght in such II common sense way as
they do. Shall tell you how one of our
lines of battle engages? They go in in
fine style, steadily, in a good line and
without any tiinchiug, halt at what is held
to be desirable point, and at the COM
mand commence firing, standing, kneeling
or lying down, as may be ordered
Then, Us in oil their previous training,
they have been taught to load and FIRE as
rapidly as possible, three or four times q
minute, they go into the business with all
fury, every man vieing with his neighbor
as to the number of cartridges he can ram
into his piece and spit out of it. The smoke
rises in minute or two SO you can see
nothing where to aim. The noise is deaf.

ing anything about the effect produced up
on the enemy, very likely having scarcely
had one glimpse of the enemy at all, begin
to think they have fought about enough
and it is nearly time to retire. Meanwhile
the enemy, lying quietly hundred or two
yards in front, crouchiug on the ground Of
behind trees, answer our fire very leisure.

that the enemy has survived such an ava.

being.pretty much out of ammunition, re-
tire. Now, if had charge of regiment
or brigade, I'd put every man in the guard

more than twenty rounds in any one bat.

We are Informed that the Executive
Committee have procured the Linsley In
stitute for the use of the Legislature. The
building is the best in the city for the pur-
pose. 1t contains suitable halls for the
House and Senate, and rooms for the Off

consequently be retired and quiet. This
arrangement will be infinitely better than
the one last winter, by which the Senate
sat in the Linsley, and the House in the
court room at the Custom House, for the
double reason, that both bodies should be
under one roof, and that the street il
front of the Custom House is one of the
noisest in town. During the sittings Of
the Convention and House in the Court
room, it was often impossible to hear read.

Po.t u,d.on.

Port Hudson is about twenty-five miles
above Baton Rouge, on the east side OF the
Mississippi river. 1t is point where
bend forms almost right angle, thus COM
pletely commanding the river both ways.
On the north, for distance of eight miles,
1t is protected by an impossible swamp,
which is bounded on the side nearest Port
Hudson, by Thompson's creek. the either
bank of which is precipitous bluff, crown
ed by an intrenched abattis. This abattis
extends from the river eastward, till it
joins series of intrenchments, nine or ten
niles in extent, sweeping to the south IN
semi circle till they rest upon the river on
the crest of a range OF hills. The country
in the rear is rolling, and possesses many
natural advantages in favor OF the enemy.
Between Baton Rouge and Port Hudson 10
long stretch of territory difficult of access
at all times, being covered by dense woods
and underground, and Astounding in bay
Gus and marshes. The place, both by na.
! tnre and art, is unquestionably one of
.lgreat strength. The Southern people in
the vicinity call,it their Gibraltar, and pro-
tess to believe it to be impreguable.
j The water defences of Port Hudson are
Isaid to consist ofeeight batteries, number
ing between twenty and thirty guns. One
! of these batteries is stationed on a bluff
eighty feet high. Another is planted just
below the mouth OF Thompson's Creek
The most of the guns are 24's, 32s and
42's, but there are one or two 100 pound
ets. The land defences were chiefly built
after the advance of the Federal forces to
Baton Rouge. They mount in all some
thirty or forty gnns, some of them OF
heavy caliber, and in addition to these
there are at least four field batteries which
can be readily moved TO any part of the
works. The position seems to be entirety
enclosed in series of Qualifications of the
most elaborate and Formidable character,
but whether there are any interior lines
remains to be revealed. The probability,
however, is that the rebels would scarcely
rely on single line, aud that the exterior
Entertainments include several others, as
was found to be the case at Vicksburg.-
Indeed, the general plan of the defences al
Port Hudson appears to be the same as al
the point just mentioned, the only devIn-
tons being such as required by the varia.
tons in the surface of the country.
Port Hudson District is commanded by
the able Maj. Gen. Franklin Gardner, q
veteran soldier and au able officer, who
was assigned to duty there on the 9th o
December last.
The troops of the post were until re-
Gently, if they are not now, under CON
maud of Gen. Beall.
