among time keepers. Commencing with the de-
termination to make only thoroughly excellent
Watches, our business has steadily increased as
the public became acquainted with their value,
until for months together, we have been unable to
supply the demand. We have repeatedly en-
larged our factory buildings until they now cover
over three acres of ground, and give accommoda-
ton to more than eight hundred workmen.
We are fully justified IN stating that we now
make more than one-halt of all the Watches sold
in the United States. The different grades are
distinguished by the following trademarks en-

SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY II.

Some Of the Northern papers talk about
the "defant'' attitude of those former hostile
to the government, and adduce some reported
instances to show this. Now, if they will only
recur to what has taken place since the late war,
they will find other instances to record, OF exact-

are quoted to the injury of the South, why is
no account taken of the other cases., to show
the submission 2" Alas! for human nature.
Such exhibitions as we have mentioned, are
recorded in all countries, in all ages, and on all
great occasions, and are fewer in the South,
than elsewhere. 1t is not strange that they
should, occasionally, be shown here, and at
this period by some. There is but one straight
forward way, in such amatter. Submit to the
laws, properly respect the authorities, and
never needless|y and heedlessly bring mischief
upon yourself and others. This course Will
not require the fawning and cringing Of which
we have spoken, and which, in the end, is sure

It is understood that the Congressional
Committee on Claims takes the broad ground
that as it has never been the practice Of gov
ernments to make compensation for the rava-
ges Of war, ever when committed by their own
armies on their own soil, the question of COM
pensation to sufferers in a hostile region cannot
be entertained. This will blight the hopes Of
a large number Of claimants at the South.

at Richmond was severely thrashed by Col.
