from the expectation that 1t will be cheaper at
some future time. The test of ten years and the
manufacture and sale of
MORE THAN 100000 WATCHES,
have given productions the very highest rank
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, have been una BILE 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 more than eight hundred workmen.
We fully justified in stating that 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-
graved the plate:
l. "Americau Watch Co., - Waltham, Mass.
.. ssAppleton, Tracy l. Co.. Waltham, Mass.
3. s'P. 5. Bartlett,' Wai,ham, Mass.
a. s'Wm. Ellery.''
5. OUR LADIES WATCH OF first quality is
named Appleton, Tracy s Coz Waltham, Mass.
6. Our next quality of Ladies Watch is named
up. S. BARTLETT Waltham, Mass. These watches
furnished In great variety of sizes and styles
of cases.
The American Watch Co., of Wsltham, Mass,
authorize US to state that without distinction OF
trade marks price
ALL THE PRODUCTS OF THEIR FACTORY
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
to be the best tlme-keepers of their class ever
mad in this or any other country. Buyers should
remember that unlike the guarantee of a foreign
maker who can never be reached, thsswarrantee
is good all times against the company or their
agents, and that if after the most thorough trial
any watch should prove detective in any particu-
lar, it may always be exchanged for another. As
| the American Watches made at Waltham, are for
sale by dealers generally throughout the country,
we do not solicit orders for single watches.
CAUTION. The public cautioned to buy
| only of respectable dealers. All persons selling
counterfeits will be prosecuted.

SINGLE BOX OFF BRANDsETH,s

A SINGLE BOX OF BRANDRETH's
PILLS contains more vegetable extractive mat
ter than twenty boxes Of any pills in the worl
besides; fftv-6ve hundred physicians use them
in their practice to the exclusion of other purga-
tives. The first letter of their value is yet
scarcely appreciated. When they are better
known, sudden death and continued sIcknesswill
be of the past. Let those who know them speak
right out in their favor. 1t is duty which will
save life.
Our race are subject to redundancy of vitiated
prevalent but Brandreth's Pills afford an nvalu-
able and efficient protection. BY their occasional
use prevent the collection OF those impurities
which, when in sufficient quantities, cause SO
much danger to the body's health. They soon
cure Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Loss OF Appe-
title, Pain in the Head, Heartburn. Pain in the
Breast bone, Sudden Faintness and Costiveness

Applications ior Pardon.

We call attention to the communi-
cation of Senator Perry, in relation
to this subject, as regards pardons in
this State. He gives q plain state
ment Of the connection of Col. CT.
Elford with these applications, and
certainly exonerates the latter from
any attempt to make money out of
the proceedings; and we .cheerfully
add our testimony that Col. Elford is
incapable of speculating on the sup
posed necessities of applicants.
1t will be seen that large number
OF pardons is now in the hands of
Senator Perry. Those who have ap-
piled, had better refer to him at once,
and our exchanges throughout the
State would do we'll to notice, if not
publish, the card of Senator Perry.

Rev. w. Il. Capers.

This reverend gentleman has gone
North to solicit aid for the rebuild
ing of the Washington Street Metho-
dist Church and Sunday School
Room, which was attached to the
Church. The New York :MeMolia
of the 7th inst, says of him, that he
preached in st. Paul's Church.
Newark, n. j., last Sabbath evening.
He was present in the Preachers
Meeting i'll the city, on Monday
morning, and addressed them in
regard to the state of feeling in the
South. His kind and conciliatorv
words were reeiprocated by the meet
ing. MI. Capers is a gentleman of
fine spirit and engaging manners,
and such inter-communion between
the North and the South cannot but
be promotive of mutual amity and
good feeling
Wherever Mr.. Capers may 60 he
will win golden opinions, from his
truly christian and courteous deport-
ment, manners and address.

States are placed in precisely the
same legal condition in which they
stood previous to the rebellion. If
their relations to the Federal Govern
ment have been temporarily suspend
ed or interrupted, it was solely by
the existence of rebellion; but the
rebellion being now officially declared
at an end, all the constitutional rights
of the insurgent States revert. Those
States can hereafter be subjected to
no exceptional disabilities without a
plain and palpaDle violation of the
Constitution, as completely without
legal excuse as would be the inhiction
of similar disabilities on Massachu-
sets or New York"
We think the Ho,lds argument
unanswerable, and we therefore give

ton. AS Gen. Green Clay Smith, Of

The BANKRUPT B1L1.-A general

HE BANKRUPT B1LL.-A general
bankrupt bill has been pending
before Congress. Its provisions are
as fair and just between creditor and
debtor as could be devised. It was
defeated the other day in the House
of Representatives, by vote of fifty
nine to seventy-three The New
York World says:
''There is to be no bankrupt law
during the life of the present Con-
gress. SO much is very clear from
the action of the House yesterday.
There is to be no relief for unfortu
nate white debtors. Many a good,
honest, enterprising man has failed
IN business, often from no fault of
his own, and the decision of the two
last Republican Congresses has been
that there shall be no relief, no means
of extricating themselves from the
bog of bad debts"

A Washington despatch says the
President concurs in the opinion of
the Secretary of the Treas ury, that it
is desirable that the State of Alabama
and other Southern States should be
allowed to assume and pay their pro-
portion of direct taxes now due, and
therefore, recommends the necessary
legislation by Congress. The virtual
sum assessed on real estate, bv an
Act Of Congress, is 10000, OOO-thc
proportion of Alabama being nearly
$3.50. 900.

There is great agitation in East
Tennessee on the subject of forming

both sections to get divorce. Let the

OUTRAaEs.-The Presidents Proclama-

effect upon the peaceful habits OF our

one OF them, an orderly, was yesterday
reduced to the ranks in presence Of the

other had not been made.
On yesterday, some of the troops a--
saulted our old and esteemed fellow-citi-
zen, Maj. T. w. Radcliffe, infiicting a
severe confusion. These outrages ought
to be stopped, and VIC commend the mat
ter to the attention Of Col. Green, who, We
understand, is a gentleman and an honor
able officer and gallant soldier.

An Ancient lent Dinner r.

The excavations at Pompeii are going
on with an activity stimulated by the i'm
portant discoveries made at almost every
step, and the quantities of gold and silver
found, which more than suffice to cover
the cost OF The works. Near the Temple
Of June, Of which an account was recent
ly given, has been brought to light
house belonging to some millionaire of the
time, as the furniture is of ivory, bronze
and marble. The couches of the trincli-
mum, or dining-room, are of especially
extreme richness.
The flooring consists of immense mosa-
10, well preserved in parts, of which the
centre represents table laid out for a
grand dinner. In the middle, on large
dish, may be seen splendid peacock with
its tail spread out, and placed back to
back with another bird also of beautiful
rlumage. Around them are arranged
Holsters, one Of which holds a blue egg in
its claw, a second an oyster, which appears
to be fricasseed, as it is open and covered
with herbs; a third rat farci, and a
fourth a small vase filled with grasshop-
pers. Next comes circle of dishes of
fish, interspersed with dishes of partridges,
Iares and squirrels, which have their
heads placed between their fore feet.
| Then comes row of sausages of all
forms, supported by one egg, oysters, and
olives, which in turn is surrounded by a
double circle of peaches, cherries, melons,
,and other fruits and vegetables. The
walls of the trinclinium are covered with
iresco paintings of birds, fruits, flowers,
game and fish of all kinds-the whole in
terspersed with drawings which lend a
charm to the whole not easy to describe.
On table of rare wood, carved and in
laid with gold, marble, agate, and lapis la
:.uli, were found amphore still containing
Wine, and some goblets of Sailing
Magazine.
