ROsecFans Before the Battle.


The correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing of the battle of Chicka-
manga, says:
The General, who had been up all
night, though seriously i'll, indefatigable
as ever, had donned what his staff call
"his fighting coat "a great coat of the
style in common use among the private
soldiers. He had early slung the can
teen of his orderly around his own neck,
and this, said his staff, who had watched
and studied his manners, meant fight"
He was to me that morning an interest
ing study, for l had found him in a new
character He has three distinct eharac-
tiers, which 1t requires three different cir
cumstances to reveal In garrison, as
at Murfreesboro, lively, good-natured,
pleasant and agreeable, fond of social
games and conversation, he had grown
painfully less to one who approached
him with reverence for him as great
warrior; for he could see no traits of it.
In moyements-during his maneuvres l
mean-quick, lively, yet reserve, his
nerves strung to their greatest tension,
and somewhat disposed to be excited
over his plans and calculations, he Gre
ates in the beholder curiosity as to his
real nature, and one gets bewildered in
seeing the opposing traits of the man.
But on the morning of the 18th, when
it was evident that everything was mar
rowed down to an engagement, his man
ner assumed rigid dignity that was
painful. He spoke in low tones, neither
soft nor pleasant, nor harsh, nor rough
His nerves become solidi6ed, and he is
a man of iron. He sees everything
and notices nothing. He stares and
says nothing. You speak, and he looks
at you for moment and then turns
away. All distinctively felt on that morn
ing that Rosey was not in his approacha-
Die humor; for, ike the oracles, he
talked with fate"
| shall never believe that Roseerans or
Thomas entered into the first battle of
the Chickamauga with that degree of
confidence which should have been felt
by them. There appeared to be some
thing over which Rosecrans had no con-
troll, urging him to battle. and the
knowledge of it made Thomas, who
blanches at nothing, look black

:. When This Cruel War is ever.

We shall rejoice greatly when this
cruel war is over. We shall rejoice when
people get over singing and whistling
and humming, "Wh-e-n this cruel war
is DOVER IF there is one thing char
acteristic of the American people more
than another, it is their talent for run
ming tune to death. We could recall
quite a list of once popular melodies
that have been sent to early tombs in
this way. Their ghosts haunt US occa-
sionally now in the wheeling of decayed
hand organs IN
For centuries Luna, the empress of
night, per0rmed her duties with regu-
larity, and no one thought of prompting
her; but time came when everybody
was exhorting her with more or less dis
eordancy or pathos to Roll on Silver
Moon, ETC., as though she did Mt know
enough to roll on when she ought to. A
sort of musical lunacy overspread the
entire community, but il passed, ana the
silver moon rolled on the same as usual,
continuing the thankless and unremu-,
nerative task of guiding the traveller
on his way" unmindful whether the
nightingale's song is in tune or not.
There was time when the "Old
Folks at Home" couldn't enjoy the quiet
and repose which age so imperatively
demands, but the fever for singing that
melody being over, they sleep well.
We remember how "Old Dog Tray"
was fayed alive across the keys of every
piano in the country, dragged by the
tail through convoluted brass, and whis-
tied at by every boy big enough to
pucker his mouth. Now, like the canine
whose mistress name rhymed with cuu-
board, "the old dogs dead died of
too much playing, singing, and whistling.
Old Uncle Ned F." had his personal in
frmities shrieked from one end of the
country to the other at one time. and at
another the Poor Old Slave" suffered
more martyrdom from the hands of inu.
steal amateurs than be ever did from his
Southern master But he has now
gone to rest, and it is satisfaction to
know that he is free"
For season, Way down South in
Dixie" was barped upon to such an ex-
tent as to induce the wish that everybody
who played, sang, or whistled the tune
was down" in the locality alluded to.
"John Brown Body has been disturb.
ed in its Wondering by thousands of vo-
cal resurrectionists, " as we go marching
on.
Now the popular tongue is singing
when this cruel war is over" 1t has
had the run of the theatres and fashion
able concerts, and is now all the rage
with young ladies' who play the piano,
young gentlemen who affect the flute or
guitar, and shrill whistling boys. There
isn't one in fifty that knows more of the
song than the words quoted above, yet

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 4-Captain Samuel
Black has been placed under guard in
bis owmroom and interdieted from any
communication with outsiders
A caisson attached to Battery l, 1st
New York infantry, going down Main
street, near Sixth street, this forenoon,
exploded shell contained therein, which
instantly killed a cannonier wounded
the driver, who died in ten minutes !;
mortally wounded another cannonier,
and badly wounded a third. The win
dows OF stores on both sides of tie
street were smashed by the conclusion.
The Nashville Press of to-day says
terrible explosion had taken place near
Bridgeport. A train of twenty army
wagons loaded with ammunition had en-
camped near the city for the night.
Two negroes quarreled One of them,
Selling shell, accidently let it fall
among the ammunition, causing It to
explode and communicate to other am
munition. Immediately wagon after
wagon caught fre-teamsters and at
PENDANTS running for their lives. The
mules had been removed before the ex-
Pi0oAon' later rePortS say Inat nine or
ten were killed and double that number
wounded. The fire finally reached the
magazine, exploding it, and destroying
vast amount of ammunition.
A special dispatch to the Journal from
Nashville, of the Sd, says:
McMinnville was attacked to-day Re-
suit unknown. The fight was progress
ing when telegraphic communication
was interrupted.
Rebel cavaly are reported crossing the

From Rosecrans' Army.

CINCINNATI, October A special to
the Commercial dated Chattanooga, Sep
TENDER 80, says:
Two hundred ambulanees, sent within
the enemy's lines under flag of truce,
brought in over five hundred of our
wounded While in the enemy's hands
they had nothing to eat but corn bread
The rebels treated them kindly, express
ing regret that they could not provide
better. They refuse to permit the bodies
of wounded or deceased officers to be re-
moved.
The enemy holds ffty-two of our sur
geons prisoners. Our ambulances re-
turned to the rebel lines their wounded
who fell into our hands.
Both armies are busy terrifying. The
pickets are now within a stones throw
of each other.
The associated press report of the
battle caused considerable Indignation
among the troops. The statement that
the divisions of Reynolds and Brannan
were thrown into disorder is incorrect ]
learn from Gen. Thomas that to the OBJ
stinate bravery of those commands the
army is largely indebted for its safety.
Our wounded are we'll cared for and
comfortably situated.

Meetlng All NeHhnrg.7

On Saturday night last, large Union
meeting was held at Newburg, and was
addressed BY Hon. VIM. s. Smith, of
Fort Wayne, The meeting was much
larger, as we are told, than the Butter
nut meeting addressed by Senator Hen
bricks on Friday, and the speech of Mr..
Smith had most profound influence
upon the hearts of his auditors.
Old, life long democrats who had been
led BY dishonest leaders for years, drank
in the sound doctrine as enunciated by
Mr.. Smith, until they were convinced
that their leaders had deceived them,
and had been fast leading them into open
hostility to the government that had fos
tered and protected them through life
time, and with tears streaming down
their faces, they vowed to repudiate the
demagogues and traitors, and stand by
their country and the old flag.
We are glad to know that old Warrick
has shaken off the shackles of bogus-false
Democracy, and her people are deter
mined, neither by word, deed or vote, to
longer give aid, comfort or support to
those who sympathize with the traitors,
thieves and hospital robbers of the
South.

large variety of Spectacles from the most common
to the very best, viz: The finest Qs,ality of Gold
Spectacles. these Glasses being ON the
most accurate adaptation Of the Convex Concayo
Periscopic principles. Also, Silver of three diff
ferent grades of Glasses, No. being on the same
principle as the Gold Spectacles. No. 2 is Peri
focal Lense; No. 3 being fine Achromatic Lense,

In addition to the above have fine assort-
ment of Steel, of the very best quality of Lenses
the frames being grooyed into the Glasses. The
frames are so fine as to be scarcely visible. No.

strong light, snow wind affects the vision.
These Spectacles 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, fattening of the pupil, or other
misfortune occurring TO the vision. The eye be
ing the most delicate organ, and of the most vital
| importance to the happiness and prosperity of
man, should never be tampered with, either by
/ the individual or by those who, for 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. L. Rittenberg,
having had over twenty-five wears experience as q
regular practical optician, assure those giving
him their patronage that by applying to him they
can get the very right kind of glasses adapted to
