THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH
Instead OF being made of several hundred little pieces
screwed together, the body OF the American Wach is
formed Of SOLID PLATES. No jar nierferes with
the harmony of its working, and no sudden shock can
throw its machinery cut OF gear In riding any busi-
ness pursuit il is all held together as firmly single

list; ACCURATE. I'd. SIMPLE. I'd STRONG.
We moi only secure CHEAPNEss by our system,

be bought for less money Than The foreign make believes,
but that for its real value il is sold for hall the price

The Attack on Gen. Sheridan.
PARTICULARS OF THE FIFTH COhPS
MOVEMENTS.
Great Capture of Prisoners.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY PoroMAc,

|
ksaS April l.
The greater portion of this army has not
been occupied with the enemy to-day The
time has been occupied in erecting works on
| new line and repairing the roads connecting
| with the different corps. The late rains had
rendered 1t impossible to move the wagon
trains as fast as the troops advanced One
train took As hours to move five miles with
the assistance of 1000 men, but through the
Industry and perseverance of the officers and
men the army has been almost as well sup
Piled as while in their old quarters.
When the news Of Sheridan's repulse reach
ed here last night part OF the 9Th corps was at
oace dispatched to bis aid, and it is expected
that tonight or in the morning we shall re-
ceive good news from that quarter. 1t APP
pears that Sheridan was moving in the road
leading to place called the Forks, where two
cavalry brigades of Picket's division came
down In rush, moving from Switzerland
Station as Sheridan's cavalry had mostly all
passed the junction. This movement threat
ened to cut him of. He however discovered
his danger in time to get back with slight loss,
at the same time taking about 100 prisoners
Botd the Lees were present. but one of them
kept at a respectable distance.
On being reinforced by the 9Th corps the
rebels fell back SO rapidly that their dead and
many wounded fell into our hands, as well as
those of our own that were unavoidably left
behind.
Yesterday afternoon an attack was made on
the rebels in front of the oath corps by Fosters
division, and about 200 prisoners taken. We
also gained 400 yards of ground. At A. M.
this morning the position was assaulted by
the rebels and few of our men captured We
took go prisoners and a stand of colors
SECOND DISPATCH.
Midnight, April IA courier from Major
Gen. Sheridan has just arrived with the most
cheering news. The combined forces of cav
airy and infantry advanced against the enemy
this afternoon, driving them several miles and
capturing about 1000 prisoners and number
of pieces of artillery. They retreated to five
Forks where they were fanked by the 9Th
corps. 1t was here that the prisoners were
taken. The rebels then retreated south and
were vigorously pursued by Gen. Sheridan,
while McMenzie's cavalry advanced towards
the Sopthside railroad, aud when the messen-
ger left was only three miles from it, and
would undoubtedly reach it before morning.
Sharp cannouading is now going on near the
centre of the line held by the left of the 9th
corps.
