O9TT BANK, JOLIET, ILL.
Dr.. LIGHTHMI-DEAR SIR: It affords me
the greatest pleasure TO be able to inform
you that | am still improving, and have
the highest hopes that my ear will be en-
tirely well by the time you frat mentioned
it would take 10 elect a cure. T can say
that am truly thankill to the kind prOVf-
dence which directed me to you. Since
the FIRST few days use of your prescription,
my ear has improved, and almost at once,
was relieved from depressed state of feel
ing and an almost intOlerable ache, TO an
elastic and hopeful state of mind. What
DR.. John Mott replied TO me as his expert
ence, has been mine so far. My catarrhal
trouble seems very much better also, and ,
indeed, altogether, my health never was 30
good. am weighing some five pounds
moro than is usual for NE, iand more than
[ ever weighed belorc.l
! can but hope that it may be the good
fortune of many with like troubles, 10 fall
in the way Of the benefit of your
skill, and knowing how great the fear of
imposition is with those who, in times past,
NAV, like myself, have suffered by it, and
feeling a wish, sincerely, at this time, to
sid and commend you in establishing q
hhiS-an deserved position among US in
your profession, beg, therefore, that you
will not hesitate TO refer to me, as it may
be Of use. ! also inclose herewith Professor
Motifs reply TO my letter of inquiries, which
deem highly creditable TO you, and OF
great importance TO others, as it has been
to me. I will visit you again soon. In
the meantime, believe me,
Yours, very sincerely,

Cen. BntIer,s Dutch Gan Canal.

Certain movements on the enemy's lis
before Richmond on Tuesday gave risc >
the belief among some of our officers lit
the Yankees perhaps meditsted an at K
yesterday. The day, however, passed #
without such an event. Wethinkit SCI g.
ly likely the enemy will attempt anything
on the north side unEil Buffers canal shall
have been completed. 1t, therefore, is
matter of much interest to know how this
work progresses; but it is difficult toobtsin
any facts in relation to it. The general
impression, however, is that it draws near
completion, Our batteries she'll the work
ing parties engaged upon it daily, and, no
doubt, somewhat retard their operations,
but not, we imagine, materially. 1t is a
prodigious undertaking, and, if success,
will stand unrivalled 10 magnitude in the
catalogue of military ditching in modern
times. Richmond Examiner Oct. IS.

The Daily News On the Democratic
TRIUMPH in Pennsylvania

The Nes0s, the chief organ of the Peace
Copperheads, don't see the great Demo-
cratic victory in Pennsylvania.
"The Democratic State Committee of
Pennsylvania and Mr.. Belmont, Chairman
of the Democratic National Committee,
have congratulated the Democracy upon a
"victory in Pennsylvania" This claim of
victory is, however, based upon the returns
of the home vote. Practically, this is no
victory at all, as it does not insure Demo
cratic triumph upon the entire vote of the
State. A Democratic majority on the
home vote is. of no avail if, as will un-
doubtedly be the case, it is wiped out and
overwhelmed by the soldiers"
Thst is good sense, and all but blusterers
and braggarts see it. The Neaos then
berates the men who urged McClellan's
nomination in the army says, athe shadows
show that the army vote will be strongly
Black Republican, if the present attitude
of the candidates is preserved" 1t then
calls upon Mcclellan, while yet there is
time, to put himself upon the Chicago
Platform and promise the country an un-
conditional cessation of hOstilities.

To the Editor of the Ne0 York Tribune:
SIR: A most outrageous deception is
being practiced on the soldiers here in re-

raj Ticket has been circulated among them,
labelled Union Soldiers Vote" By this
outrageous misnomer, many who desire to
vote for Lincoln and johnson are deceived
into voting this contemplate ticket Of
ioers of Copperhead proclivities help to
promote the delusion, and some have ac-

why are not the state CenraI Cont
mfttee at work.


We see no indication as yet from Colum-
bus that the State is to be thoroughly
reused with great meetings between this
time and the sth Of November. If it is
their opinion that no work of this kind is
necessary, we think they are very much
mistaken. We need to roll up large
majority next month, and in order to do
SO, the State must be thoroughly canvasSed.
We must not only elect Abraham Lincoln,
but we want the moral effect of overwhelm-
ing success. To do this the State must not
be asleep. The effect Of hearty enthusi-
asm in this State will manifest itself in
other States. Let us goto work therefore,
We appeal to the State and County Com
mittees to set the ball in motion and all
will be well.

Mr.. L'ncOIn's Election Certain.

The success of the Federal arms at At
lRnta had the immediate effect Of chang
ing the political tactics Of the Democratic
party. The managers, into whose hands
General Mcclellan, as their candidate for
the Presidency, must commit himself, re-
pudiate the compromise with the section
that proposed to make some attempt to OBJ
tain peace and the short lived party COM
bination was broken up. The chance. of
re-uniting the divided forces by any ex-
pianation was very slight indeed, even be-
fore the 18th of September. But the re-
suit of the battle fought that day on the
northern border of Virginia must have to-
tally destroyed all prospects of an accomo-
dation. At the commencement of the pO-
litical contest it was forseen that the least
CLEAN of military success on the part of the
Federals would revive the warfke spirit,
dropping under defeat, and supply the Of
fetal party with exactly the kind of in
huence it had been losing. The capture
of Atlanta made Mr.. Lincolns reelection
possible. The victory gained by General
Sherman has, we may assume, rendered it
almost certain.-LoHdOn Times, Oct. 8.
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-10-20

The Richmond Examiner, of October
I4th, says
We must add that in military circles it
Is not thought improbable that the fighting
may be renewed this morning, and that it
may become a general engagement.
Indeed, this may be expected now on
any morning. The enemy will not tell US
when their canal is completed. Wesh
know it by the commencement of the
grand assault. That we repeat, may pe
made at the break of any day. In these
times the decks must be clear for action at
all hours and on all days. Before this
month is over, the struggle will begin and
and end, but the day is unknown, and will
remain unknown till it comes.
Along all the rest of our lines, even unto
Petersburgh, everything was quiet during
Yesterday There is always more or less
skirmishing on our extreme right, along
the Vaughan road, south of Petersburgh; /;
but has now become SO common as to be
taken little account of. 1t amounts to
nothing, but shows the restless activity of
the enemy in that quarter.

Description of dutch Gap Canal.

Description of DHtch Gap Canal.
The 75iBuae's correspondent thus de-
scrsbes it:
As, howey er, some of onr readers may
not have attentively read description of
Dutch Gap, will undertake to describe
the same By consulting a good map
of Virginia it will be perceived that the
james River bears due south from Rich
mond for some seven or eight miles, then
defects to the southeast about five miles
further, where it abruptly turns to the
southwest at or near what is called Cox's
Landing. Sweeping off in this direction
about three miles, it runs abruptly. upon
itself, and comes back within three hun
dred yards of its own channel, having
made q circuit of some seven miles in its
course, and then bears off to the eastward
toward Aiken's or Varinas Landing,
where for the present we have nothing
more to do with it.
About third of mile below Cox's Land
ing, where the neck of land is narrowest,
the General some time ago conceived the
idea of cutting new channel for the river,
which should save it about seven miles OF
hard running, over a bed wherein the
Rebels had been at great pains to sink for
midable distractions for the purpose OF
preventing the ascent of our gunboats be-
yond this point. As to conceive Is to COM
nence, and as to commence a thing in
this Department is to execute it, the work
was straightwsy begun, and is rapidly
approaching completion.
