Register to his partner, Hiram B. Enoch. Mr..

1t is understood that the 4th Heavy Artillery

probably to be mustered out.
Leslie May has commenced walking feat in
Paducah-thirty-six hours continuous walking
without sleep. Like the eclipse, it is free

Church last week. The Register says he was
formerly Rector of the Parish and one of the
ab.est cleTgymen in the Union.
The Paducahites are jubilant over the estab-
lshment of a daily mail to Cairo. They feel
that they are getting out Of tho woods. The
beautiful and staunch steamer P1ai@ CITY is

Rev. f. T. Slater, an clog uent preacher and
agreeable gentlemen, has recently returned to
Paducah, from the Methodist Conference. lie
was formerly pastor Of the Methodist Church
in that city.
The city authorities are macadamizing the
streets in Paducah, and Messrs Briggs, Little
& Co., have opened an auction house there.
Common sense is being doled out to tbs
people of Paducah with variations" through
the columns of the Register, by wrtar who

The Register complains of the high tariff t,

The States are one by one waking up to the
requirements made upon their patriotism-are
uniting in convention, repudiating the doctrine
of secession and the higher States Rights doc.
trine ignoring the Confederate debt and adopt
ing emancipation ordinances Radicals COM
plain that the rebellious States are choosing
for representative officers men who fought in
the rebel army. True they are so choosing.
But each and all Of them, so far as we have
been able to learn, were originally opposed to
secession, and were forced by the damnable,
though popular doctrine of States Rights, to
war has put quietus on their political heresy,
and it is now question whether it were better
for the Southern people to elect representative
men, those who met defeat with them and as
keenly and sensibly felt the depth and breadth
of their error, or to choose men who had neither
the courage to talk or fight FOR or against the
National Government. The Southerners have
exercised their prerogative and chosen the
former, and we very much miss our guess if
they be not sustained when the fruits of their
labor is made manifest
We therefore argue that the rebellious
States, by their act os rebellion have forfeited
their political rights under the Federal Con.
sttution, notwithstanding the fact that
they have never been out of the Union.
As criminal forfeits his civil rights while
under arrest and yet member of society, so
do States lose their political rights, though
still forming integral portions of the Govern
ment. They declared themselves aliens and
were conquered as enemies. Terms have now
been made them upon which they can resume
their rights equal with the loyal States.< They
are accepting the situation with commendable
promptness, and no doubt will soon fill chairs,
which, during the past four years, have been
vacant in the Congressional Halls of the Ma
tion, after which their political status will cor
respond with those of the loyal States Then
let the policy indicated by the President in our
dispatches of yesterday, be adopted, viz rep
resentation be governed by the number of legal
voters instead of population, and bright and
glorious future awaits US as a nation.

AMERICAN MANUFACTURES THE AMERICAN
WATCH Co.-Our readers, we are sure, are
not generally aware of the great impetus
that has been given to manufactures in the
Atlantic States since the beginning Of the
war. The high rates of exchange, and the
necessities of the army, have made the East
ern hills and valleys resound with the hum
of busy machinery, as our own do with the
sharp blows of the miners pick and the i'm
patient stamp Of the quartz mill.
And nowhere has machinery done more or
created a greater revolution in production
and trade than in the manufacture of the
watch. What was once the toilsome, slow
and uncertain result of hand labor, is now
the swift demonstration of unvarying me-
chanical forces. The same class of genius
that invented the telegraph and the sewing
machine invented the dcilcate and wonderful
mechanism that takes hold Of the raw mate
rial the brass, and steel, and gold, and
precious stones, and under competent direc-
ton, turns out that daily wonder and necessity
"a perfect time keeper. That genius is es-
sentially american and has been found, col
lected, assimilated and made productive by
the American Watch Co.. at Waltham, Mass.
Taking the best fruits of several years expe
riments, they established their factory near
ly ten years ago, which they have been COM
PEELED to enlarge from year to year until they
now employ over five hundred workmen, and
turn out product valued at million and
half of dollars per annum-or equal to that
of all other watches now sold in this country.
The secret of this Company's success is that
they have done what they promised-that
they have furnished first-rate substantial
watch at moderate price-and this is the
great difference between their watches and
the ordinary importations from Europe. Ex-
cept certain very high-priced varieties. the
European watch, which is the result of cheap
and unskilled hand labor, never goes well,
and in short time "costs more than it comes
to in repairs" The American Watch Co.
give guarantee for the quality of all their
products, that is good with any dealer that
sells them.
The Shasta courier., 1865-01-28
Things in General and Shasta County in
Particular.

The real wealth of this county is but just
being developed. Heretofore its status as q
rich placer mining district has been second
to none in the State; but for the past two or
three years it has stood on the list of mining
regions as one worked out f; and notwithstand-
ing the face of the country presents to the
eye of the careless observer groupings of good
looking quartz, but little interest has hereto-
fore been taken in the development or prov
ing the value Of the 50 signs" Recent efforts
in testing the indications have been surpris-
ingly successful. Hardly day passes but
that we do not hear of some new and valua-
bic discovery-some prospect in quartz that
borders On the marvellous as compared with
the experience of earlier davs-and yet the
work is but begun and discovery is in its IN
cipency.
Another year and Shasta will rank with
the richest quartz mining counties in the
mineral regions of this State or any adjoin-
ing. This fact, connected with another and
better demonstrated one, viz that the placer
diggings of this county yet pay well and will
continue to do so for many long years, should
be abundant source of congratulation to our
citizens and all mankind.
Our agricultural resources are second to no
other mining county in the State. We have
superabdndance of the best agricultural
lands uncultivated and awaiting the occu-
pancy of the farmer, besides there is sufficient
under cultivation aud well farmed by good
population to more than supply the present
wants of our population-a product that could
be largely increased by even the present pop
ulation if proper stimulus could be gotten
up This stimulus is necessarily greater
demand for agricultural products, which of
course must be consequent upon an increased
mining population and that mining popula-
ton can only be obtained by keeping con
stantly before the people the superior induce
ments this district presents over any other.
To do this we need the assistance of any and
all engaged in mining, and again we invite
the contribution of information on the sub
ject.
Our grazing lands are inexhaustible. The
foot hills and the mountains within our boun-
daries are innumerable and covered with feed.
Springs gush forth in thousands of ravines,
gulches and from the mountain sides, afford
ing abundance of that beverage SO desireable
to-brutes Timber for lumber abounds.-
Wood is plenty and roads are good. Above
all this, no people are more healthy, more
moral, more happy in their virtue than tho-e
of this most favored county.
Fruit, too, we have ii abundance and of
quality unparalleled. And then we have
wine of Il quality and flavor that maketh the
mouth water and the partaker of the beverage
to feel rich, not only in pocket, but in love
for the whole human family.
All this would seem to be enough but
who ever had enough except in the way of
beatirg? We want some experienced men in
quartz mining and milling who know when
they have good thing, and possess the 'kale'
and the disposition to improve 1t. That's
just what's the matter

The Grass Valley Union would find the
COURIER more valuable exchange if on
copying its editorials without credit, it would
correct the punctuation and orthography.-
Carelessly our leader of some three weeks
ago, entitled State Rights" escaped our
Office with many errors typographical, and
we felt mortified on seeing it duplicated in
the Grass Valley Daily Union, verbatum.-
We like to see our ideas appreciated. 1t is
little fattering even to have them stolen,
but for Gods sake, we ask that hereafter
any one eabbaging will have the decency to
put good clothes on them.
