ing and resolute Of those very heroic and
adventurous men from the n,ble State of
Tennessee. Nothing was too hazardous
to deter him in any enterprise in which
he could promote the interests of his
country, and at the same time work the
discontinue of the prowling, plundering
bands of guerrillas which have enacted
so many narrowing scenes of blood and
carnage within the boundaries of bis ma
tive state. 1t having been ascertained
that band of these marauders was scour-
ing the country in the vicinity of the camp
Of Ned, together with six other intrepid
fellows, set out to intereept them, and, if
possible bring them to grief. Nothing
definite was known as to their number
more than rumor, which placed it at a.
bout twenty. This was a large odds
against these seven Union soldiers, but
they had little lear as to the result, hav-
ing frequently encountered and defeated
three or four times their number before
in hand to fight.
They have certainly taken the left
hand road here arc unmistakable signs
of their having passed this way" said
Ned to his eager companions.
Yes; and they cannot be far in adj
vance either, as these snfoldering ruins
clearly prove. Curse them they are at
their old game of burning, plundering
and hanging But hope there will be
less Ire ones by night" and spurring their
horses into brisk gallop they renewed
the pursuit.
They had not proceeded very far when,
on turning a sharp angle in the road, they
beheld a dwelling in flames end surround
ed by these desperate men, who were ev-
identity preparing to hang the occupant
Of the house. After few moments con-
sultation they determined 90 surprise them
by a dashing attack, and, if possible, to
capture Or kill the entire party, who,
thinking themselves secure from danger,
had dismounted and laid aside their pie
ces to facilitate the business of plunder-
ing and the delightful job of hanging
Union man, which they were just on the
point of carrying into execution. Ned,
who was the leader of the Union party,
now gave the order
Charge! and fight to the death y
With a wild yell they rushed to the at
tack. The rebels, though taken by sur
prise, rallied after the first ouset, fight
ing with that desperate reck cklessness which
generally characterizes the Western guer-
rilla. The odds was terrible, and for
time it was very doubtful whether Ned
and his companions would be the victors
or the yanquished. Not less than three
or four at time would rush like fends,
wild and demoniac, upon him, but with
his strong, herculean arm they we're strick-
en- down or put to rout. Ten of the trait
ors were now either killed or wounded,
and the rest, seeing no hope against these
daring, invincible soldiers, surrendered
Ned and three others of the party had
received number of slight wounds.
Another was severely wounded, and one
brave fellow hadrsealed the victory with
his life. The occupant of the house who
was in such imminent peril, joined them
with his family, when these Union he
roes set out for camp, with ten prisoners,
and twice that numbero horses as troph-
les Of that days daring and valor.

CAUTION FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY.

It having come to our knowledge that i'm
itations of ihe American Watch have been
put upon the market in great number, calcu-
lated by their utter worthlessness to iDJure
the reputation of our genuine products, to
protect our own interests and the public from
imposition, we again publish the trade marks
bv which our Watches may invariably be
known.
We manufacture four styles Of Watches.
The First has the name
AMERICAN WATCH CO.. Waltham,
Mass.," engraved on the inside plate.
The Second has the name
"APPLETON, TRACY & CO., Waltham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The THIRD has the name
"P. S. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass" en-
graved on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the name Amer
lean Watch Co. painted on the dial, aud are
warranted in every respect.
The Fourth has the name
"WM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved
on the inside plate, and is not named on the
dial.
All the above described watches are made
of various sizes, and are sold in gold or silver
cases, as may be required.
1t is hardly possible for us to accurately
describe the numerous limitations to which
we have alluded. They are usually inscribed
with names so nearly approaching our own
as to escape the observation of the unaccus.
toned buyer. Some are represented as made
by the "Union Watch Co., Of Boston, Mass
no such company existing. Some are
named the 'Soldier's Watch" to be sold as
our Fourth or VIM. Etlefy style, usually
known as the Soldiers Watch" Others are
named the "Appleton Watch Co. )" others
the P s. Ba1tLEY," instead of our "P. S. Bart
lett )" besides many varieties named in such
a manner as to convey the idea that they are
the veritable productions of the American
Watch Company.
We also caution the public, and particu-
larly soldiers, against buying certain articles
CALLED watches. so freely advertised in illus
trated papers as Army Watches" "Ofticers
Watches" +" "Magic Time Observers" "Arcana
Watches" &C., the prices of which are stated
to be from seven to sixteen dollars A good
watch, in these times, cannot be afordedfD'
any such money
A little attention on the part of buyers will
protect them from gross imposition.

which comprised four sleeping cars. main.
tanned its place upon tho track. Two per.

The Situation in North Carolina

Our latest news, aa has been tho case uni
versaily throughout the last glorious three
months, is tho best. 5herman, Scbofield
and Terry. who have been in com m MICA tjou
with each other for some days, have united
their forces, and their armies, now made in
vincible by union, are Or essinp on to ami.
hilate the feeble remnant of Jobnston's
army at Raleigh.
Schofeld occupied Goldsboro on the 2Ist
week ago to day. On the next day he ef.
fected complete junction with Sherman
and Terry. somo milos beyond Goidsboro.
General Sherman at once forwarded his
official report Of operations since leaving
Fayetteville to General Grant, and that Off
Ger reports its reception to the Secretary
of War.
II is evident Sherman's advance from
Fayetteville to Goldsboro has been stub.
bornly contested. Blu. in view of tho ia cts
revealed by last nights telegraph, the vic
tories which the robols have so persistent;y
claimed Cor the last week vanish into thin
air. True. as they claim. they did fight
Sherman at Averysboro, at BeutonviIle. and
at Boon Hill. but zach of these fights far
from being rebel victory. resulted in the
advance Of our troops and the retreat of tn q
rebels. This very thing coupled with the
tact that Sherman has united with Scho-
field, proves the utter falsity of tho rebel
claims to victories at these places. Even
their loss seems to have been greater than
ours, though, as our forces wero tho attack
ing party, il might havo been expected that
the contrary would DO tho case. Sherman
reports that nis total loss since leaving Co.
lumbia is less than 500, while tho loss o.
the enemy. in prisoners alone. between
Fayetteville.and GolJsboro is 1000.
The enemy doubsIoss used their utmost
efforts to check aud turn back Shcrman's
advancing armies. before they could unite
with Schofold. For this purpose they
fought three desperate battles. at Averys
5oro, al Bentonville, at Boon Hill. OH the

after he has been in the field for seine time

fOrgets all dangers bo has passed through

old soldier sooner than harshness, for hard
treatment he is used TO, bot kindness be

But perhaps slight description of this

Secretary McCulloch.

Two years ago, had any one said that
Hugh McCuliOch would. before the close
OF Mr. LiDcoln's Administration, occupy MIR.
Chase position, he would have been laughed
at, not because of his unfituess for the
place, but from the fact that he had no
political prominence. Mr.. McCulloch's
choice es Secretary of the Treasury is a
wise one. His long experience as leading
banker in this State, his unusual ability, bis
practical sense and well.proveu sagacity.
qualify him for the position given him. Mr..
McCulloch many years since was prao,ic.
ing lawyer at Fort Wayne. but abaudone
1t for the more lucrative and concenial busi.
ness Of banking, being for long time Pres.
ident of tho Fort Wayne branch of the old
State Bank.
On the organization of tho now Bank OF
the State in 1855, he was elected President
which position no held somo eight Years
and until in 1868 he was appointed Comp
troller of the Currency. This position he
held until his recent promotion to scat in
tho Cabinet.
IL is compliment of no ordinary charac.
ter, that the entire West united in bis favor
when public sentiment demanded the strono.

does now require strong man, with the in
