Died:

At his residence in Wake County, on the 9Th
inst, SETH JONES, Esq, in the SOD year Of his
age
s tbs dsceSsed hsia attaincds ripe old age in the
County Of bis birth, in which he was much re
spected and honored, and departed surrounded
by an affectionate family, and by friends who
sympathize with them in their affection. Seth
Jones was the son of Nathaniel Jones, of White
Plains. Wake County. He was the last of several
brothers who were well known in this County,
and who, in their day and generation, were very
useful as citizens and as honored public servants
and respected and esteemed by their neighbors
The deceased had frequently served the people
of Wake County in the State Legislature. He
was always true to his pledges and principles
He was useful and respected member of that
body at time when our best public men con-
Quoted the administration of the State govern
ment; when promises by public men, if made
sparingly, were seldom violated; when profess
sions of economy and of devotion to popular
rights, were not lightly uttered for the purpose
of securing political success; and when the stern
virtues that characterized our revolutionary an
cestors were still exerting benefcent influence
on the public service. But Mr.. Jones devoted
his energies for the most part to agriculture and
its kindred sciences. 1t was observed by Dean
Swift that she who made two blades of grass
grow where only one had grown before, was more
useful to society than the whole race of mere
politicians" Mr.. Jones, as practical farmer,
prospered and grew rich on land by no means
fertile in its natural condition. and by his patient
industry bis enterprise, his excellent discrimina-
ton, and his attention to his blooded stock, and
his fruits of various kinds placed himself, though
not versed in chemistry, or in knowledge of soils
acquired from books, at the head of the farmers
of his County. He was, we believe, the earliest
raiser of blooded cattle in this part of the State
He excelled in the variety and lusciousness of his
fruits. He was also grower of cotton on large
scale, for the most part on land enriched by q
judicious application of fertilizers And in these
or any affectation of superior information In his
calling, he set an example which the present
generation of young men would do well to follow.
But it was in his hospitable mansion, surround
ed by his alniable family, that his character mani
tested itself in it's most attractive features. He
seemed never to know that he had done enough,
in his positive, good-humored, but not obtrusive
manner, to make his guests feel themselves al
home. The writer of this, who knew him long
and well, cherishes the most agreeable recollec'
tions of his steady friendship through every
change He was an honest man and patriot
He served his generation faithfully, and rests IL
hope. His afflicted family, and his friends, il
various parts of the State, will always cherish

10 THE BEST.
III IL MADE ON THE BEST PRINCIPLE.
Its frame is composed Of SOLID PLATES. No,
jar can interfere with the harmony OF its working
and no sudden shock can damage lite machinery.
Every piece is made and finished BY machinery
Itself famous for its novelty, as well ss for its eff
fectiyeness) and is therefore properly made. The
watch is what all mechanism should be-ACCU-
RATE, SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMI-
CAL. Except some high grades, too costly for
general use, foreign watches are chiefly made by
women and boys. Such watches arc composed Of
several hundred pieces, screwed and riyited to-
gether, and require constant repairs to keep them
in any kind of order. All persons who have car
ried "ancres, y lcpines " and English Patent
Levers" are perfectly well aware of the truth Of
! this statement. S1Ss u ss
At the beginning of our enterprise, more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make
thoroughly good low priced watch for the million,
to take the place of these foreign impositions-
the refuse of foreign factories which were en-
tirely unsaleablc at home and perfectly worthless
everywhere. rs
How well we have accomplished this may be
understood from the fact, that after SO mauy
years of public trial, we now make MORE THAN
HALF OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN
THE UNITED STATES and that no Others
have ever given such universal satisfaction. While
this department of our business is continued with
increased facilities for perfect work, we are at

GOV. HAM1LToN's ADDRESS TO THE LOYAL
CONVENTION.
On the cath of May Gov. Hamilton
delivered an address to the Loyal Con-
vention of Texas and an assemblage of
citizens at Austin. He reviewed the
Rebellion and inveighed with great ear
nestness against the criminal folly ofthe
ex-Rebels. Referring to them, he said
You have an account to settle before
the people yet. You have not done
with this. You shall confront them,
and shall answer to them, and if God
spares my life pledge myselfto 60 be-
fore the people of the State and draw
these men up and make them answer
Applause.
l may not get through, but the same
precautions will not be necessary as two
years ago. The ready rope and conve-
. nient limb will not be used as they were
then. There is power in the Govern
ment that will protect people, what
ever may be their opinion or color, and
the power cannot be exercised now to
suppress the utterances of any honest
man III the country.
It is no disparagement to the people
to say that they have had no opportun-
ity to hear the trnth. 1t has been kept
from them for five years. No man dar-
ed to utterit. No paper containing it
could circulate. The great heart of the
people will be responsive to the Govern
ment of the United States whenever
they understand, it generous policy, noble
purposes, and magnanimous amnesty
extended to all except few, and / might
say to many more than deserved it !;
those who accepted and teek the oath
and then dcleaim against it and yet
speak of friends of the government as
public enemies.
Public enemies of whom ? To every
traitor in the land, Of course. That is
the measure of my treason. J was a
traitor to treason, disloyal to disloyalty,
and that was all You want peace and
you want the offices. You wish to con-
troll the destinies ofthe people. / do
not believe you will dot. Rest assured
you will not do it without struggle,
not only now but in all time to come,
and which will never close until loyal
men attain success, or until the Govern
ment of the United States is broken in
to pieces and destroyed. While that
is free Government, and its votaries
can get up and explain to the people,
you will never again be done with it.
It has been fashionable for men here
to sing hosannas to our brave dead. -
Fellow-citizens, have not one word to
say about the fallen. Ipresume have
as much charity as most men, but if they
are permitted to sing hosannas to their
dead, who are so impatient about the
honor of those who have fallen victims
of the fearful strife, the lovers of the
Union will be permitted to speak ofthe
who have persisted in an ignominious
manner on account of their devotion to
the Union.
