MONDAY MORN1NG, Al NIL ~
The Assassination of the President
The assassination of President LINcoI
will be regarded by every rejecting ma
in the country as the greatest calamity tina
could have befallen it. For no man hac
or win have, the power and influence tina
he possessed to bring Peace to this dis
tracted country. He had been elected b.
an unparalleled majority; he had the con
fidence OF the mass Of his own party
while his political opponents relied OF
him. more than on any other publi
man, for measures Of wisdom and mod
Grafton; he had the affection OF tn
army, and, at the same time, was ia
less disliked by the South than ANDREW
JOHNSON, his successor. He could, there
fore, WELD power in the pacification o.
the country, that Mr.. JOHNSON, even
were his character and intentions the
best, cannot possess. The country will
not, at first il ever, have that con-
fidence in him that it had in MIR
LINCOLN, and, consequently, his pow
er to do good, however good may
be his intentions, will, we fear, be
far less than was that of the deceased
President. Under these circumstances,
every right minded man must regret, for
public reasons of the gravest character,
the untimely death of the President; and
we have never seen so universal manifes-
tation of sorrow as the news of that event
has produced.
We have so far spoken of this event in al
single point of view alone; but in anyI
point of view, it is most deplorable. OF
all crimes, assassination is the basest; for
to the sin of murder is added the stain of
cowardice. And hence, the assassination
of the humblest individual shocks every
sense of honor, religion, and morality. But
the assassination of Magistrate, and
especially a Chief Magistrate, is an infi-
nitely deeper crime, for it affects not one
man alone, but Nation, and sets pre-
cedent dangerous to all law and civil order
1t is most deplorable to think, that just
at the tine when influential men, North
and South, were engaged in devisingI
measures of Peace; when LEE had sur
rendered his army to obtain Peace; when
HUNTER and CAMPBELL, and others, had
been in consultation with President LIN
colin, with a view, as it is said, to put an!
end to strife; when the prospects OF PeaceI
were gladdening every heart and prof.
ducing unparalleled rejoicings; the mani
who, of all others, could do most to real
ize these bright prospects, and who was
sincerity dnAlOus w w oo' onNN ~
fallen by the hands of an infamous assas-
sin and that such miscreant could have
it in his power to leopard the safety and
happiness of the people.
In conclusion, we have only room to sayI
now, that, whatever differences of opinioni
there may have been or may hereafter be-
in regard to Mr.. LINcoLN's political course,
yet all who knew him intimately concur in I
the opinion that his purposes were good
and that he was naturally a pure-minded,i !
moderate man; and for his own sake, andI
that of his bereaved family and country.
every one will deplore his untimely end.

AFEw REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Is THE BEST.

q II Is made on the best principle, while the foreis
lwatrh is generally made on no principle at all. Tho
2foreign watch is mostly made by women and boys
HBY HAND. While theirlabor is cheap their work
4dear at any price. Such watches are made without
dtlan and sold without guarantee. They are irreg-
ular in construction and quite irregular in move
3ment. They are designed only TO sell. and the buy
or is the party most thoroughly sold. Those who
Ihaye kept "ancres," }" "lepnes" and Swiss levers"
Hin professed repair for few years will appreciate
< the truth Of our statement.
d THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH.
a Instead of beipg made Of several hundred little
pieces screwed together. the body Of the American
1 Watch is formed of SOLID PLATES. No jar in
gterferes with the harmony Of its working, and no
sudden shock can throw its machinery out Of gear.
In riding or any busine IS pursuit, 1t is all held To-
gether as firmly as single piece Of metal. 1t is just
what all machinery should be
4 lst. ACCURATE. Cd. SIMPLE. Sd. STRONG.
g4th. ECONOMICAL. A
We not only secure CHEAPNESSb by our system
lbut QUALITY. We do not pretend that our Watch
lean be bought for less money than the foreign make
6eeces but for its real value it is sold for onehaf
sthe price. AZ
OUR SOLDIERS WATCH tnamed VIM. Ellery)
is what its name indicates Solid, Substantial. and
always Reliable-warranted to stand any amount Of
Marching, Riding or Fighting.

lis put up in great variety Of patterns. many Of
them of rare beauty and worbmanship, is quite
small, but warranted to Keep time.
OUR YOUNG GENTLEMAN'S WATCH is
neat not large and just the thing for the pocket Of
lY oung America.
THE PROOF Of the merits Of our Watch may be
found in the fact that we now employ over seven
hundred workmen in our factories. and that we are
sll unable to supply the constantly increasing de-
lmand.
OUR THREE QUARTER PLATE WATCH is
thinner and lighter than the others we Lave describ
led. Its fine chronometer balance Is delicatey ad-
jused to correct the vibration caused by changes Of
Temperature. These watches are the fruits Of the
latest experiments in chronometry, and made BY
Jour best workmen, in separate department of our
factory For the finest time keeping qualities they
challenge comparison with the best works Of the
most famous English and Swiss makers.

Secretary Seward.

Soon after writing the foregoing article,
last Saturday forenoon, we received tel
egram announcing that Mr.. Secretary Sew
ARD died that morning at 9:45, of the wound
inflicted by the hand of an assassin on Fri
day night; and we Immediately wrote the
announcement Of his death for the EXTRA
which we issued in the evening-adding the
following paragraphs:
The President and Secretary Of State, the
two principal officers of the Government
and the two most influential men in the
whole country, after going unscathed
through a four years war, now, when the
rebel power is virtually overthrown, and
Peace and united Country are
within the reach of wise craftsmanship
and when they were maturing measures OF
pacification that all hoped would prove sue
cessful, just at this critical moment just al
the moment when they were about to ado
to their laurels gained in the War, the less
snowy but sweeter civic wreath of Peace
, they are cut of by the basest assassination

BAUGH's RAw-BoNE PHOSPHATE desire to
call the special attention of our readers to the
advertisement i'll another column, of "Baugh's
Raw-Bone Phosphate" which is sold by Mr.
Dugdale, the agent in Baltimore, and his agents
throughout the State. Since the high price of
Peruvian Guano has put it out of the reach of
farmers generally, the attention of the agricultu-
raj community has been turned to some of the
Fertilizers most prominent before the public, in
order to find less expensive and equally eff
cient substitute.
"Baugh's Raw-Bone Phosphate" the article
alluded to, can be safely recommended to all
who desire Fertilizer sufficiently active to for
ward the growth of the crop, and permanent
enough to insure heavy yield of Grain, as well
as to leave in the soil sufficient quantity of
fertizing material for the action of future crops.
We therefore recommend those of the community
who have not used this popular Fertilizer to give
it trial, as TO those who have used it, this hint
will be unnecessary.

Holiday Hicks died at Washington, on Monday,
the 18th Instant of paralysis, at the age of sixty
eight years. His health had been declining for
some time previous to his death. He was born
in Dorchester county, and has filed several inn
portant Offices and was United States Senator
at the time of his DEATH but took but little part
in the active duties Of that body. Mr.. Hicks was
an attentive member while his health permitted
him to be so. In his native county he was pop
ular, ana always regarded as a kind neighbor
and sincere friend, and though not man of
great intellect, he was nevertheless, y man Of
much business talent.

ty of Hatcher's Run, mentions the resignation of
Gen. Gregg.
On Tuesday last about dozen Confederate
soldiers dashed into the town of Centreville,
Upshur county, and took the natives by surprise.
Two or three stores were almost Quilted, and a
number of valuable horses taken off.
Guerilla parties are still active in the vicinity
of Washington. On Friday last some of Nose
by's men captured, within few miles of Alex
andria, number of carts and horses. They
left the carts behind, but carried off the horses
and their drivers. On the evening of the sape
day body of guerillas, numbering less than fif-
ty men, made dash at the pickets near Fort Ly-
ons. Shots were exchanged and one of the guer-
illas is supposed 10 have been wounded, but no
captures were made on either side.

WAR NEWS.

The Richmond Wing of Friday contains des.
patches from Charleston, announcing that Gen.
Sherman's troops have appeared on the South
Carolina Railroad. Gen. Fitzpatrick, with three
brigades, on Wednesday, was at Backville,
which is twenty-eight miles from Branchville,
and forty-seveu from Augusta. The bridge over
the South Edisto river has been destroyed, and
the enemy's communication with Augusta cut
off. The enemy withdrew towards Branchv;lle
on the advance of the Union army. A despatch
from Cincinnati says that as soon as it was as
certained by the enemy that portion of General
Thomas's army was being sent east, they sent
ten thousand troops belonging to Hoods army
to Augusta, Georgia.
Information from the Army of the Potomac
has been received. The total Union loss in the
recent engagement is put down at 81 officers and
Lib men in killed and wounded. About 200
men are missing. Deserters who came into Gen.
Grants army state that rumors were current
in their lines that General Sherman was in pos
session of Branchville after sharp engagement.
The Navy Department has received commu-
nication announcing the destruction of a block
ade-runner off Charleston. She was discovered
aground by the Potomac and Wamsutta, OF
the outside blockade, which vessels moved to-
ward her when she was abandoned and fred by
her crew. She was burnt entirely out. Her
hull was of iron.
One hundred and fifty bales of cotton arrived
from Memphis at Cairo for Louisville General
Lew Wallace will probably act on the court mar
tial in the stead of Gen. Darlington, who has
been relieved. 1t is reported that the court will
adjourn to Paducah.
Further information in reference to the Bor-
deaux steamer, said to have been obtained by
the rebels, is looked for with interest. The Dan.
ish Minister, Mr.. Raasliff, denies the report that
the vessel was sold to the rebels by the Danish
government. The information has been obtain
ed from an authentic source.
A Washington special to the Herald states that
the Danish government has sold one of the Dor.
deaux rams to the rebels, and that Consul Dud-
ley, atsLondon in informing our government of
the fact mentions the recent shipment of fifty
s,ilors to man her for immediate service.
A special despatch to the Herald from Wash
ingtoD says it is understood that despatch has
been received from City Point stating that the
Richmond papers Of the ! 18th confirm the reported
cal ture of Bran, hville. They also contain re-
port that Charleston were evacuated.

it) stirred up the sectional, anti-slavery
opposition and discord. which brought
about all our national troubles, and which
has we'll nigh destroyed the country
Now, when the nation is convulsed from
centre to circumference by a bloody civil
war, after having violated the Constitution
in almost every clause, the AboIitionisis
seek to amend it in order more eTectually
to gratify their sectional hatred Such
time as this is no time to amend the Con-
stitution aud men who bave no respect
for the Constitution, and who have issued
proclamations and passed laws abolishing
Slavery as we'll as destroying other rights
of the people in violation of its provisions
are not the men to tinker with the Con-
stitution framed by the Fathers.
More than this, the adoption of the
amendment will render restoration
of the Union as it was, impossible, aud
will greatly protract the war. We hope
for no speedy peace when such counses
prevail, and if our Abolition rulers had
desired to make suhjugation and extermi-
nation necessary, they could have pursued
no better course. What pioture to see

A NEGRO IN CoNGREss-Rev. Henry
Ii. Garnett, negro minister, preached in
the hall of the House of Representatives
on Sunday morning, by invitation of Rev.
DR.. Canning, the Chaplain of the House.
A large crowd of both whites and blacks
were in attendance, the negroes furnish
ing their own vocal music.
This is the first instance of negro
preaching at the capitol, and occasions
much comment in all circles.
1t is true, that many people arc weak
enough to object to the elevation of Sambo,
to the bar of the Supreme Court, and to
the desk of a Congressional chaplain
But that is the result of the old fogy
teachings of Washington, Jefferson, Clay
Jackson, Hancock and other statesmen
of the olden time, whose patriotism had
nothing but the fires of the Revolution as
a purifier. They had not the benefit of
the wisdom of Sumner, Wade, Fremont,
Butler, and the balance of the Solons of
the present age, as we have.
