Our friend w. A. Giles, of the Jewclry

just receiving his fall invoices Of Goods

More silver in the way of spoons, forks,
tea sets, ETC., both plated and solid, was
exhibited to us than We have seen before
for months. Some of them would make
most excellent holiday or birthday pre-
sents. (This item is for gentlemen's ears
alone.) The stock Of Jewelry also en-
braces some very handsome specimens, and
nothing is sold for gold, which is an inferior
metal. There are watches, gold and silver,
of various prices and qualities, and cords Of
clocks which will be sold from 81 to $15.

ment of commercial and recording pens

holidays.
Viewed as whole, the stock of our
friend Giles will compare well with that of
aay other, outside of the Metropolitan cities,
and more affable treatment and better
schedule Of prices cannot be found in the
country. This latter fact accounts for the
thriving business he is carrying on.

w. S. Wells & Co, have new advertise
ment in our columns to day, to which we d.
rect attention. A cursory look over their es-
Enlistment satisfies us that their facilities
for clothing the people are ample for all
ofthe wants ofthis community and the vastre-
gion round about, their counters and shelves
are literally heaped with goods,
according to the latest mode. If the pur-
chaser prefers to have clothing made to
order he has but to select his material and
fall back the the rear, where Mr.. John
Forsyth, an experienced cutter from Boston
will take his measure. "Call to morrow
afternoon, Mr.. Jones, and your coat will be
ready" We arc informed by Mr.. Terry that
they have six knights of the needle continu-
ally employed in manufacturing goods
chiefly to order, and this force is scarcely
sufficient to keep up with the demand.
E. r. Barron & Brother have brief an
nouncement in today's paper Of new goods.
We may as we'll state that they contempla-
ted a change If their regular advertisement,
but trade has been so brisk with them that
they positively have not had time to write
it out. We have looked several times into
their establishment within the past week
and every man we saw within it
each time was the perfect type of &C
tivity. All this comes from the habit this
firm are subject to, of selecting the best
goods in the market and marking them
down to very narrow margin Of profit.
Edward P. Allis & Co., of Milwaukee
publish their Reliance Works." and an.
nounce their facilities for supplying every.
thing needful for the furnishing of a mil

commended for their excellent bushes,
qualifications and honorable dealing, ant
their stock is very heavy. Milling mer

note Of this.

The Union Movement.


The skies Of our future are Frightening.
The Union movement designed to consoli-
date the loyal sentiment of the country
into spirit of concord till the close of the
war, is rapidly gaining ground. The sell
fish, the sche,ning, the disloyal, the am
bilious of the Republicans and Democratic
parties, are falling hAce-~ ',.~ sturdy honest
sentiment Of the American people who are
seriously inquring the necessity for parti-
san broils, and heated political discussions,
when this greatest and best of all govern.
ments on earth is trembling in the agony
of mighty local rebellion.
In the great states of New York and
Ohio, the Union movement is fully inaugu-
rated, and will sweep the old party organi-
cations away like cobwebs. Throughout
all the western states, it is regarded as the
only movement through which the good and
patriotic sentiment of the masses can be
continu d efficient for the service of the
government
We copy with pleasure the following no.
BILE utterance from the Chicago Tribune the
western organ of the Administration:
"In Ohio and New York these great
States which exert SO profound an influ-
ence on American politics-the Union
movement, by that we mean the effort to
sink parties and partisanship, and unite the
whole people in defence Of our country un.
til the close of the war-goes swimmingly
on; and save among those who have offices
to hope fer, or places to guard, by continu-
ing in now useless and barren disputes,
there is little objection made to the consum.
nation of the popular wish. We hope to
sec those States an unit for the popular
cause, to sce Pennsylvania throw her heavy
weight into the proper side of the scale,
and to see the example of all initiated by
Illinois, next in population and importance.
The result is not unlikely. II speople have
new instincts to help out their reason, and
they know that the issues of the past are
dead and buried, never to be resuscitated.
They have full &C apprehension of the over
whelming magnitude of the crisis, in this
respect being far ahead of the kecncst pol
iticians. They feel that there must be
unanimity of action and harmony in coun-
Gil, or our cause is lost. These facts will work
out their results as soon as the masses can
act; and the little managers of caucuses
and conventions, the selfish seekers after
place, the patriots who put party before
country and self before party, will be
crushed by the movement, if they dare op.
pose it."

Disgraceful.

The Tribune of Buenos Ayers, of
February l, comes to us in mourning,
says an exchange, for the events in
San Juan, the details Of which are as
revolving and heartrending as any
that have ever disgraced the Spanish
American name. Colonel Saa fol-
lowing up his victory over Aberas-
tin by causing that brave but unfor-
tunate gentleman to be wantonly as
sassinated on the road, after having
made him march barefooted and al
most naked till he dropped down
with fatigue, and because he was I'M
able to walk furtherhis savage guards
murdered him and chopped his body
into fragments. Saa continued his
progress to the town Of San Juan,
which he delivered up to three
days pillage. He had the three in
teresting daughters of Aberastein
dragged into the street and publicly
violated by his licentious soldiery.
Every grown man found in the place
he ordered to be shot; declared the
town in state of siege for period
of forty days; and then, in the
midst of more than six hundred vic.
tins, he writes to acquaint the gov
