testify there affection for the old flag.

testify there affection for the old flag, 1t
was well known at the commencement of
the war that in no State, if we except
South Carolina, were the pcople--the
great middle claes-who compose the
bone and sinew of The south, ready, of
there own free will, TO enter into the con-
flict. They were driven into it by every
description Of appliance, and now hail
tho Union armies ms their dclivercrs from
bondage MS calling as mortals ever wore.
1t might be expected that if any insuper-
able hostility existed any where, it would
be between the soldiers of the respective
armies But we have any amount of
evidence that they are ready to fratcr-
nize on every possible occasion.
The truth is, the rebel rank and file, in
and out ofthc army, have come TO thorough
ly understand that they have been fighting,
not for themselves, but for the oligarchy,
who have been their masters, and who
had no other motive than TO strengthen
and confirm their power. They cannot
fail TO learn that their true interests are
incompatible with the interests and pur-
poses of he chivalry. And having learn
cd this they will not be long in learning
that their true friends are those they
have been falsely taught to believe were
their deadly enemies.
That the war will result in the destruc-
ton of slavery is now admitted b. every
body. This is grand consumaiion, but
the work will be incomplete till the last
vestagc of southern aristocracy is ground
down to dead level with the southern
yeomanry. When this is done the way
will be open to make the American peo-
pie, north and south, Homogeneous
result which TO human ken could be
reached only by such terrible expert
cnce as these years have given.

AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS - The

AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS - The
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY. - Our
readers, we are sure, are not generally
aware Of the great impetus that has been
given to manufactures since the beginning
OF the war. The high rates of exchange,
and the necessities of the army, have
made the Eastern hi Is and valleys re-
sound with the hum of busy machinery,
and nowhere has machinery done more or
created greater revolution in production
and trade than in the manufacture of the
watch. What was once the toilsomc,
slow and uncertain result of hand labor,
only, is now the swift demonstration of
unvarying mechanical forces The same
class of genius that invented the telegraph
and the sewing machine invented the del
icatc and wonderful mechanism that takes
hold of the raw material---the brass and
steel, and the gold, and precious stones,
and under competent direction turns out
that daily wonder and necessity per.
feet timc-kecper. That genius is essen
tally american, and has been found, col
lected, assimilatcd and made productive
by the American Watch Co., Mt Walt
ham, Mass. Taking the best fruits Of
several years experiments they establish
ed their factory nearly ten years ago,
which they have been compelled to en-
large from year to year until they now
employ seven hundred worknen, 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 Promsed-that they have fur
nished first-rate substantial watch at a
moderate prce-and this is the great diff
ference between their watches and the
ordinary importations from Europe
Except certain high-priced varieties, the
European watch Is the result of cheap
and unsk;lled hand labor, that never. goes
well, and in short time ''costs more
than it comes to- in repairs. The Am
crican Watch Co. give guarantee foi
the quality of their products, that is good
with any dealer who sells them.-Er.

O-The trial of the St. Adams raiders
is concluded and they were discharged
Judge Smith decided that they had the
rights of belligerants and that the extra
diiion treaty had been annulled by the
order of Gen. Dix, that raiders be shot
down wherever they could be found. 1t
is well understood that his symp,thies
were wholly with the rebels. The pris-
oncrs were Immediately re-arrested on
charge of murder and it is expected that
they will be taken to Canada West for
trial. 1t is reported that the money has
been refunded to the banks. The affair
has caused intense interest in Canada
and this movement for a new trial nat
urally makes great excitement among the
rebels at Montreal and their Canadian
friends. The Montreal Herald, the lead
ing organ of the secessionists, issued an
extra, Saturday, violently denounc-
ing the conduct of the Canadian execu-
tive in making efforts to put aside the
judgment of the Montreal Court, and ac-
cusing tho executive of conspiracy to
deliver up the raiders. The charge is
grounded on the action of the executive
in transferring the case to st. GATHERINGS
and the Herald declares it the peoples
duty to prevent the preparation of such
an infamous outrage.

g. Almost everybody predicts that at
no distant time we must have "A great
financial break down, and il cannot be dis
putcd that there is danger of this kind,
but we think the reasons for this belief
are not so numerous as many think. In
former times, great financial disturb ,nccs
have resulted from an enormous cxpan-
sion of credit system. In the general de-
tail of business there was never so little
of this as now. Many large Spectators
may fail. We hope they will, but their
failure need not involve general disaster.
There is reason to hope that the worst
point is already reacned-pcrl,aps passed.
Within three months gold has fallen IS
per cent, and prices generally have had a
corresponding diminution, with no seri-
Gus results TO trade. Gold has for some
time stood at about $50, and there is no
good reason TO expect that it will 90 much
lower very soon. The price of gold
must be governed very much by the
amount of circulating medium, and this
ia, and must continue to be, very much
in excess of the wants of trade. 1t is
true that it is fast being absorbed in gov
crnmcnt bonds, but these are not abso-
lutcly retired. They can be very con-
vcniently used in large business transac-
TONS
The financial affairs of the country are
now very much under the control of the
government, and there may be per-
feet confidence that the treasury depart
ment will be so managed as to cause no
needless disaster to the general interests
of the country.

CT The late acct. of Congress, tax
ing the issues of State banks 10 per cent,
is a finisher to all State institutions. Very
soon the bank notes that have been SO IA
miliar to us will be seen no more. The
banks generally will take their places
under the wing of the government and
adopt the green livery. With the best Of
feeling for our old banks, which have an
swered their purpose well, there will be
few regrets for the change. We shall
then have no necessity for so close scan-
ming of bank bills and frequent reference
TO detcctors. There will be no necessity
for changing our money, if we desire to
travel beyond our own locality, for money
that is good in our own place will be
good every where.

CT During the week we have had a
large batch of peace rumors. The !res-
ident is at the front and the peace enthus-
lasts assume that he must be seeking for
peace. Sec. Seward has been there, and
it was reported that Mr.. Fillmore had
been sent for that a conference with the
rebel chiefs, etc. That something of the
kind was on foot was vouched for by what
claimed to be high authority, but the

The Petersburg Express says early
Wednesday morning heavy force of the
enemy consisting Of cavalry, infantry and
artillery, supposed to be headed by Sher-
idan's cavalry, made a detour around
our lines and advance toward Boydtown
plank road, and between 7 and O'Clock
struck this thorougfare some six miles be-
yond Dinwiddie Court House. Toward
IL o'clock this force was in the vicinity
of the court house, and our forces were
skirmishing heavily with their advance.
1t was afterwards reported that the en-
envy had reached the Court House, and
was demonstrating toward Burgess mill.
1t is believed the destination Of this force
is the Southside railroad which Grant
wishes to destroy and thereby cut off
Gen. Lees communication and diminish
his supplies. While demonstrating on
the plank road it is thought the mnin
body of cavalry struck out through the
country in the direction Of the railroad,
but this is not particularly known.
