Gods compositions are not ex-
hausted.
There is a lost woman in the
street. Can yoa love her-pity
her help her? Can YOU let her
know that YOU care for her: This
is pretty good test So many
peoples goodness consists in such
large measure in scorn for the sin
ful and abandoned, that it is we'll
to ask if ours is of any better sort.
Women are especially vindictive
and unrclenting towards those of
their own sex who have lost their
womanly good name. Your roof
can not shelter, nor your fire warm
her, she has no claims,-is utterly
undcserving. Exactly. W hat
claims have you upon God for his
grace and compassion? This wo-
man is your sister. How do You
know where YOU would have been
to-day if You had had only her
chances in life. if you had been
fated to battle against such odds ?
In short, is there any body that
you can not pity and love, any
body that you do not long to save?
If YOU have not learned the lesson
Of the Christmas time, ponder its
meaning now.
The angels sang also of peace
Oh earth. While there is evil in
the world there will be fighting
and disturbance of some kind
There is a necessary antagonism
between good and evil, which can
not be reconciled or compromised.
There will be strife and pain and
unrequitcd labor until all that IS
wrong is outgrown. But their
song is a prophecy. The time will
come when sin and suffering shall
perish together. Love will fill
every heart and inspire every life
on. earth. There will come a
Christmas morning when the voice
of universal humanity shall join
in the angels song, sending n tide
of harmony up through Heaven s
open doors to the very throne OF
God. and all the world shall lie il
his smile.

A WORD ABOUT
AMERICAN WATCnE S,

After thorowgh trial OF more than ten
years, the time pieces manufactured by the
Amer can Watch CO., of Waltham, Mass,
have gained finn hold upon the favor of the
public, and now, no less than 5000 of them
are speaking for themselves in the pockets
of the people. From very insignificant bc
ginning 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. Repeat
ell enlargement of our factory buildings, and
the labor of $40 operatives, still fnd Us un
equal to supply the constantly increasing de-
mand. And We may here observe that not
withstanding the high price of labor and
m ,tcrals, We actually sell our products at
less prices than those current five years ago.
We refer to these facts only for the pur-
pose Of properly Introducing another subject
relative to our manufacture of Watches
! Hitherto our chief object has been to make
! good watches for the million at the loves
possible pricc-something to take the place
Of the mike-beleve watches called can
crcs," "Lepines, ""English Patent Levers"
etc, annually thrown upon this market. in
countless numbers, by European workshops,
watches which are the refuse of their fac
tories, unsaleable at home and perfectly
worthless everywhere.
This object we have accomplished, md
now we have to announce, that we have COM
menccd the manufacture of watches OF the
very highest Grade known To Chro-
nomctry. anequallcd by anything hitherto
made by ourselves and unsurpassed BY any
thing in the world. For this purpose We
have thoAmplest facilities. We have erect.
ed an addition TO our main buildings OK
pressly for this branch of our business, and
have filed it with the best workmen in our
service. Profiting 10y our long experience,
We have remodellcd the form of our watches
introducing sneh 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 com
pensation. New machines and appliances
have been constructed, which perform TIA cir
work with consummate delicacy and exact.
itude, and the choicest and most approved
materials only are used. Nothing ia fact is
wanting either in mcdaniel principles, ma.
teriai or workmanship to ensure perfection
in the result.
! We continue to manufacture our other
we'll known qualities under the following
names:
appleton, Tracy & Co.," up 5.
Bartlett" And the Soldiers Watch
SWIM. Ellery."
The latter, the lowest priced watch we
make, is substantial, reliable timc-piece,
cased In sterling silver-hunting pattern. and
is not liable to get either out of order in
marching riding or fighting. All the above
described watches, including the .fresf,
which is named AMERICAN WArcH Con-.
rASr." are sold by watch dealers generally
throughout the country.

The weekly pioneer and Democrat., 1864-04-29

The Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Democrat, after stating that he
is not FREMONT man, speaks thus of the
canvass for that gentleman
1t is being managed with great a.lroit
ness. aud prosecuted with wonderful ener-
81. Some of the keenest and most expe
rienced politicians in the country are
enlisted in it, and every move counts. The
friends oe General Fremont sre going to
make an effort to control the New York
State Convention cn the 25th of May. A
gentleman occupying high position in the
West Ohimself not Fremont man) said 20
me .ew days ago, after returning from a
visit CT a number Of days to New York
city, that the moss influential politicians of
that city were really for Fremont, and that
better work was being done for him
throughout the State than tor any other
candidate. 1t is not noisy work shut en-
erge,ic. persevering, and well directed.
1t appears there are two classes of Ere
mont men: those who are in favor of go
ing into the Baltimore Convention. and
those who are opposed to doing SO. The
former consists extensively of Germans
the latter of Americans Horace Greeley
is understood to be at the head of the lat
ter class. Extensive. arrangements are be-
ing made for the great meeting to be soon
held in New York city by the friends of
General Fremont, which will develop his
strength. 0seH-f

'Ghc only Sound Doctrine.

The House of Representatives in Wash
ington have disposed of its proceedings
against Mr.. LONG, and having succeeded
in giving that gentleman's peculiar views
circulation and publicity they would
never otherwise have attained, it is we'll to
consider what he did say, and, if possible,
to point out the errors of his doctrines.
He advocates peace-the immediate nego-
tiation for peace. Negotiations with
whOm7 To negotiate for peace upon
basis Of the rebels returning to their alle-
glance is an abSurdity, because if there
was any hope fot such a result to be Oh
tanned by negotiation, there would Do hope
for it by another and more prompt and
more certain mode The confederacy has
only to dissolve, and each State resume
its political condition under the old consti-
tuition, aud there is an instantaneous
peace.
The New York Worlti, in an elaborate
article reviewing Mr.. LoNe's speech. thus
most clearly and admirably disposes of his
theory when it says:
Mr.. Longs is q mere paper logic: it ignores
the more cogent logic of events. A war once
begun, ceases to be within the control of
either of the parties to it, until they are mutu.
ally exhausted, or one of them has gained such
decisive military advantages that it can dictate
terms to the other. In the present balance of
advantages, neither the North nor the South
could propose anything which the other would
consent tn accept, nay, which 1t would not
resolutely reject at the cannons mouth. The
war can, at present, no more be stopped than
could skiff midway in the cataract of Niagara.
If, then, we should adopt Mr.. Longs stand
point, and regard the South as a foreign ma
ton. every patriotic instinct, every impulse of
national pride, demands that our support be
given to our own nation. If the Southern
people hare beconss foreigners, the logical infer
e,,ce scould be that they are no longer entitled to
our synpatties and consideration as felloso-ooua-
srua.en. In that view the national honor re-
ouires that we should wrest from them their
territories with as little compuction as Eng
land conquered the Canadas and all her
North American possessions from France in
the seven years war.
If the South should infiict ON us succession
of overwhelming military disasters, it would
of course extort the recognition of its inde-
pendence and dictate its own boundaries But
If we infict on it series OF overwhelming dis
asters it will Re for us to dictate terms; and
if the Democratic party should then he in pow
er, the Southern States will be prodgious idiots
indeed if they do not prefer their old poeition
as equal members of the Union to sustaining
toward Us a position like that of Poland to
Russia or Hungary TO Austria

With reference to the list of promotions
In the Fourth Regiment, which we nuh.
lished yesterday, It is proper to say BY wav
of explanation, that most of the officers
named,as promoted from the ranks, have tor
some time held commissions, and in some
cases have for months performed the duties
of commissioned officers. They were not,
however,permit ed to muster as such, ON ac-
count OF tho regiment being below the
minimum standard of numbers. Hence
the new issue Of commissions. For in
stance First Lieut.. Lambert of this city,
set down as promoted from rauk of Hos
pital Steward, has since July 9th of last
year held commission from the Governor
as Assistant Surgeon and has performed
the duties of that Office with the regiment.
