The New American Watch
MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS.

In order to meet the requirements of gentle
men who prefer a thinner Watch than those usually
made by us, we have lately issued new style of
Watch on the three-quarte plate model especially
designed for this purpose.
In establishing this new series, it has also been
our design to produce Watch in every way superb
or to the best and highest priced products of the
most reputable of English and Swiss Watch manu-
lecturers and no labor and expense has been spar
ed to this end.
In all respects of fine and durable material, of
external aud internal finish, of accurate compensa-
tion and adjustment, of mathematically just pro-
portions, and of practical results, our new three
quarter plate watch challenges comparison with
any in the world

CAUTIoN.-As our Watch is now extensively
counterfeited by foreign manufacturers, we have
to inform the public that no Watch is of our pro-
duction which is unaccompanied by a certificate of
genuineness, bearing the number of the Watch,
and signed by our Treasurer, R. E. Robbins by
our predecessors, Appleton, Tracy Co.
AS these Watches arc for sale by jewellers gener-
ally throughout the Union, the American Watch
Company do not solicit orders for single Watches

Since the issuing of his last circular and adver-

Nothing can excel the beauty and cleanliness of
the continuous gum work. 1t is without seam
crevice. Checks that sunken can be restored
to nearly their original contour by this style of
work, and also by the use of the Vulcanite, Coral

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, June 25.-Several persons
arrived to-day from the Southwest portion of the
State, one of whom brings proclamation issued by
John Ross, of the Cherokee nation. The Rev. I.
Ramsey missionary, left Follitah the 9th of June
and reports that Ben Mccullough and Albert Pike,
of Arkansas had been there, urging the chiefs to
reconsider the position taken in his proclamation,
but they failed in their object and had left for the
Greek Nation, hoping to get aid from them.
Capt Pike had an escort of IS men.
Mr.. Price. Pdymaster OF the Iowa regiment at
Bonneville, is here.
The following is the proclamation referred to
above:
Owing to the momentous state of aif4 irs pending
among the people of the several States, !, John
Ross principal Chief hereby issue this my prOcla
nation to the people of the Cherokee nation, re-
Winding them of the obligations arising under their
treaties with the United States and enOinlng them
II the observance Of said treaties by the mAlnten
ance of peace and friendship towards the people OF
all the States.
The better to obtain their important ends, earn
esty impress upon all my fellow citizens the propri-
etv of attending to their ordinary avocations, and
TO abstain from an Improbable discussion OF the
events transporting in the States and from partisan
demons ratlons in regard to the same. They should
not be alarmed by designing men, but cultivate har-
mony among themselves, and observe good faith and
strict neutrality between the States, Threatening
war With these means alone the Cherokee people
hope to maintain their rights unmpaired, to
have their own soil and fresides spared from the
hateful effects of a devastating war. There has
been no declaration of war between the opposing
narties. and the conflict may yet be averted with
a ,npromise or peaceable separation.

SUMNER COUNTY, June -, 1861.
EDITORS UNION AND AMERICAN: In view of the
great pocical CONFUSION of our country, it is inn
pOrtant that we should have the right men in the
right place to ill every political office made vacant
by the expiration OF the term for which the present
incumbents have been elected. The term for which
our present Legislature has been elected will soon
expire and as I 1t body has been called together
on two extra occasions, amidst the great crisis
through which sc have passed, the present mem
bers are perhaps better acquainted with the press
ing demands OF fhe country than it were possible
for ertire new body of men to be- and where
every thing also is equal it is but just and proper
to those NJ hbers who have made the right record
TO be again returned by approving constituency,
to participate III the councils of the State, on the
great aud important questions which will come be
fore our. LeM Legislature. Amongst the many
distinguished gentlemen. whose bold, noble
and pauiouc course in the Legislature en-
titled them to the full confidence of their
constituency none have stronger claims or deserve
a renewed evidence of the appreciation OF his cOun-
trymen more than Capt. z. II. Bennett, of Sumner
county. lie has ever been right on every important
question, ard Iabored with as much patriotic zeal
and devOt 4 for the coed of his country any
other -ufing his entire representative career.
He jealousy espoused the cause of Southern rights
at a time when none but men of the most unfiiuch-
ing rmness dared to DO So fearing TO encounter the
long cherished sentiments of their constituency;
yet regardless of his own personal popularity and
at the hazard OF blasting any future political pros
poets, he became the earnest advocate of Southern
freedom, and nobly and mSnfuly battled in behalf
of the cause, when at length he our glorious
cause triumphant and our Legislature again called
together TO sever her connection with the Old gov
eminent. Although confined, TO his bed for months
from an unfortunate accident, he left his home
when unable to walk in his room, to record his
vote in favor Of the independence Of Tennessee.
And now, our Senatorial District in view of the
removal Of DR.. Thompson, our former Senator,
will be forced 10 bring another man in the field we
do not know any Zone who is more worthy the
position than Captain Bennett. Sumner being en-
titled by rotation to the candidacy we hope he will
meet with no opposition on the stump, being fully
tried and true. We hope lie will Immediately de-
clare himself candidate and he will receive the
unanimous vote of SUMNER COUNTY.

Earr Tennessee.

We are gratifed to observe, in the action of the
present General Assembly, spirit Of Cancellation
towards the patriotic citizens Of East Tennessee,
who by false representations and gross SANDERS Of
disappointed leaders, have been wildly encouraged
TO a bloody rebellion against the sovereign State.
A resolution was passed in the Senate by unani-
nous vote declaring it iuexpedlent and improper to
pass any law imposing test Oas treason aloS, cal
cuated to suppress liberty Of speech. This resolu
ton passed the House by vote Of i6 ayes S noes
1t is evident from this spirit that the ordinance
providing for the election Of Congressman shall be
strictly executed and the election to be submitted
n the people "a good fdih soon as practicable.
There will certainly be draft upon the citizen
soldiery unless the State shall be unfortunately IN
udded by foreign foe as it is understood that suf-
ficient number Of patriotic volunteers have already
been received for present service, and there are
thousands of others ready to enlist for any possible
future emergency. Thus, the demsgogues who
have deceived the honest masses, by appeals to
their passions and fears, are dIsarmed Of ewes
~ pretext to deceive them longer.
