New DREss.-The Detroit Adoerti-
ser and Tribune, which, by the way, is
an enterprising, wide-awake and relia-
bile newspaper, has recently donned a
new dress, and now presents beauti-
full and tasteful appearance.
We regard it as one of the best pa
pers in the Northwest. It is ably con-
Quoted, and in enterprise is second to
none in the State. 1t furnishes the
very; latest news in advance of all
other papers. 1t is reliable, we'll edi-
ted Republican journal. and as such
we commend it to our readers. Its
army reports alone is worth the price
of subscription. Subscriptions re-
.ceived at the Postoffice in this village.

az Rev. A. G. Hubbard, formerly
pastor of the Universalist church, of
this village, is meeting with gratifying
success in his new field of labor at De-
troit. which will be hailed with Joy by
all his old friends in this section. A
recent sermon is thus noticed in the
Detroit Adcertiser & Tribune:
PATRIOTIC SERMoN.-Rev. A. G. Hib-
bard preached discourse Sunday morn
ing, in the Unitarian Church, setting
forth, in the first place the worth and uni
versal adaptation of the principles en-
bodied in the life and found in the
words of Jesus of Nazareth secondly,
the claims of the sanctuary upon the
community, especially in these dark
hours of our national life, showing that
now, more than ever, should the Chris
tain altar be kept fragrant with prayer
and faith, as we know not how soon it
may he the refuge of many who shall
be driven there by sorrow, or drawn
thither by the great joy that shall be
experienced at the return of friends
who arc now periling their lives on the
field of battle. The sermon was an
appeal that warns the heart and lifts
us nearer to God-teacbing his beau
tiful truths, and appealing to all to
stand true to God, their country and
their fellow men. The discourse will
bear repeating, which we hope the
preacher may be induced to do at no
distant day.

-Gents; deem it due to you to state the magical
elect of that one bottle of Peoples Cure which
obtained from you in November last. Seeing an
advertisement of your Society, offering to give
your medicine to clergymen for the poor of their
parishes, 1 obtained a bottle for a poor girl of
my congregation, who had long been nearly help
less from Rheumatism, and strange to say, that
one bottle cured her entirely. / write this, hop
ing 1t may aid the Society in its efforts to intro
duce the medicine, and bless those who may need
such remedy: and use strong terms, as l be-
lieve its merits will fully justify the most supcrla-
tive forms of speech.

UNION BANNER.-Thea above is the
title of new literary, weekly paper
just started in Chicago. If the first
number is a fair sample of what all fu-
ture ones are to be, it certainly ought to
take the place, to great extent, of
Eastern papers that Western readers
have SO literally patroni zed. We have
long felt that We had talent and enter
prise, if well directed, in the West,
equal to the task of editing and con-
Quoting paper equal in every respect
any to literary paper published in the
Eastern States. And we have also
been of the opinion that Western read
ers required a literature of higher tone,
and morals more liberal and expanded
than is generally taught in our Eastern
literary papers. Ftom an examination
of the first number ofthe Union Banner
we have come to the conclusion that it
will be just what Western literary read.
ers should have. We find stamped on
it's pages a higher grade of moral lit
erature than we have found in Eastern
publications OF. the same character.
Aside from the equal literary merits of
the Banner, Western readers should
patronize it because it is Western pa
per, gotten up and conducted by Wes-
tern enterprise and edited by Western
talent. Itdoes seem to us, that, IVES
tern readers will at once see the pro
priety and the necessity of patronNing
and building weekly literary paper in
the great Northwest, that shall become
q welcome visitor in every family in
the land and more moral teacher of a
lighter literature to the rising genera
ton. The Banner is large sheet, of
eight columns, published dtthe price of
81, 90 per annum payable in advance.

A WORD ABOUT
RIM EAICAN WATCHES,


AFTER A THOROUGH TRIAL OF MORE
THAN TEN YEARS, the time pieces manufac-
tured by the American Watch Co., of Waltham,
Mass, have gained firm hold upon the favor of
the public, and now, less than "a, 900 of them
are speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
people. From very insignificant beginning the
business has increased until we are justified in
stating that WE MAKE MORE THAN ONE,HALF
of all the watches sold in the United States. Re-
peated enlargement of our factory buildings, and
the labor of 500 operatives, still find us unequal
to supply the constantly increasing demand. And
we, may here observe that notwithstanding the
high price of labor and materials actually sell
products at less prices than those current five
We referto these facts only for the purpose of
edoldrlS introducing another subject relative to
manufacture of watches. Hitherto our chief
object has been to make good watches for the mil
lion at the lowest possible price-something to
take the place of the the make believe watches
called "Ancres." "Lepines," ''Engish Patent
Levers &C.. annually thrown upon this market,
in countless numbers, by European workshops
.,
unsaleable at home and perfectly worthless every
where. tsr
This object we have accomplished, and now We
have to announce, that we have commenced the
manufacture of watches of the very ia =.
"a y HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO cHRoNoMsrRY. +,
unequalled by anything hitherto made by ourselves
and unsurpassed by anything made in the world.
For this purpose We have the amplest facilities.
We have erected an addition to our main buildings
expressly for this branch of our business, and
have llei it with the best worknen in our service
Profting by our long experience. we have remod-
elled the form of our watches, introducing such
improvements as have been suggested and proved
to be good from time to time, and have instituted
new and severe tests of isochronism, adjustment
and compensation. New machines and appliances
have been constructed, whichperform their work
with consumate delicacy and exactitude, and the
choicest and most approved materials only are
used. Nothing in fact is wanting either in uechan-
cal principles, material or workmanship to ensure
perfection in the result.
We continue to manufacture our other we'll
known qualities under the following names:

ANNOUNCEMENTS OF cANDIDATFq.
Rebel Promises what has been Done

/ Correspondence of the Nashville Union
All men of whatever business or pro
fession, find it necessary at short pc
riodical intervals, to institute an exam
ination into their profits and losses by
way of ascertaining whether in wisdom
and prudence they should continue or
change their pursuit; and he who does
not resort to this wise precaution is of
ten found unexpectedly and hopelessly
involved in ruin. If this be true in
common enterprises of individuals, how
much more necessary and important is
! it that nations, and would be nations,
should institute such inquiry and ex-
animation into the progress and pros~
poets of their great national enterprises
And we think it would be wise and
prudent in the north, and especially in
the south, to make such examinations
without delay.9ne- T aa-
Such inquiry will necessarily lead Us
to consider the state and condition OF
the country before the rebellion; the
avowed cause and object Of the rebel
lion, and the progress and present pFos-
pect of ultimate success. As to the
state and condition of the country pre-.
vious to secession, all know that peace,
happiness, and prosperity unexampled,
with freedom of speech and opinion
security of he, liberty and property,
prevailed throughout the borders of
the then United States as ever since the
adoption of the Constitution. But
where now is the security for these cher
ished and sacred rights7 Gone; as ut
terly valueless as If abrogated by uni
verssl consent, Notwithstanding the
Confederacy have adopted the same
constitutional provisions for their pres
ervation and enforcement. All ex-
changed for war, for civil war, with it's
multiplied evils and aggravated calam-
tiles
The public journals of the South, for
the last thirty years, and the speeches
of the members of both Houses of Con
gress, anterior to secession, disclose full
ly the determined purpose of the lead
ers to bring about rebellion; sometimes
complaining of one thing and some
times OF another in all of which they
inferred violation Of the constitution.
But as TO the real objects of secession,
for the sake of breyity, and to consne
ourself mainly to documentary history,
we viii refer to president Davis inau-
gural address In that document, If
memory deceive as not, he said slave
territory must expand, we can and win
subjugate and annex Cuba, Mexico, and
part Of South America in it he also
said, II know we will have war, bat it
