More Than 100000 Watches


More Than 100000 Watches,
have given our productions the very highest
rank among time-keepers. Commencing
with the determination to make only thor
oughly excellent watches, our business has
steadily increased as the public became &C
quainted with their value, until for months
together, we have been unable to supply the
demand. We have repeatedly enlarged our
factory buildings until they now cover three
acres of ground, and give accommodation to
more than eight hundred workmen.
We are fully justified in stating that we
now make more THAN ONE-HALF OF ALL
THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED
STATES. The different grades are easily
distinguished by the following trademarks
engraved on the plate:
l. American Watch Co." Waltham. Mass.
2 Appleton, Tracy & Co." Waltham

FRAUD ON THE REvENUE.-It has been as
certained that great frauds are practiced in
San Francisco upon the Internal Revenue
Department. The charges according to an
exchange, are that some of the employees of
the Department are in partnership with the
distillers, sharing profits; and in other in
stances bribes are accepted from persons who
are manufacturing spirits, with a view to de-
frauding the United States out of the two
dollars per gallon excise tax. The tempta-
tons to dishonesty by distillers and Govern
ment officers are very great, for the tax upon
single barrel of whiskey is some sixty-four
dollars.

AN EXPLANATION,
THE GLASS INTEREsT.


LauEuiShInE Condition of the Glass
Trade---PrOPOsed Suspension of
MauuEactuFeFs---PrO Needed.
To TIE Editor Of the Pittsburgh Gunner
cidt:
In your Mondays issue, you spoke
of the tariff on wooden interests" and
the anxiety felt in regard to the report
of the House Committee on that sub
ject. It is not generally known, but it
is fact, that so great is the interest of
the glass manufactures in regard to
their future operations, that on Thurs
day last eighteen flint and lime houses
Including three from Wheeling) were
represented in convention at the office
of James r. Lyon & Co., of this city.
In the discussion of the tariff question,
it was stated that lamp chimneys were
imported into our market three months
ago, as low as thirty-five cents per
dozen, that being ten cents per dozen
less than the price of chimneys of the
same quality, in this city at that time.
A committee of three were also APP
pointed TO report at an adjourned
meeting) TO get the views of those not
present, in regard to a general suspen-
sion of operations for three months.
Here is one of the strong arms of the in
dustrial interests of the West laDguish-
ing, and perhaps to be for a time para
lyZed, for want of proper protection.
Thirty furnaces (about three hundred
Pots}, furnishing employment to about
eighteen hundred men, women and
children, paying into the United States
Treasury the sum of three hundred
thousand dollars per annum for inter
nal revenue alone, and this only one
branch of the glass business, makes the
subject, when properly considered, one
OF vast importance. Will Congress
allow such an interest to be neglected?
Can the United States afford TO lose so
much revenue? Can the American
Congress refuse to the great loyal West
the encouragement she SO richly mer-
its? We trust not. r,
birmingham, December Is, 1866.

The National Banks.

The n. Y. Herald is agitating the ne
cessity and expediency of abolishing
the National Banks, and replacing their
Issues with greenbacks. The theory Of
the Herald is this That the Govern
ment pays AN unnecessary interest, say
eighteen millions per year in gold, on
the bonds held by the banks, and, in
the next place, loses the benefit of a
non interest bearing circulation, which
1t could supply in place of the National
bank notes. There is nothing in the
suggestion that the Government pays
any more interest on its bonds on ac-
count of the National Banks, than it
would were every one of those institu-
tons blotted out. The same number
of bonds would still be held by some
parties, and the interest would be ne
cessarily paid all the same as now.
But there is something in the idea that
we would have better and cheaper
circulation, and that the Government
would be able to take up very
large amount of interest bearing debt
with It's non-interest bearing green
backs. To say that the establishment
OF the National Banks was an original
mistake is to hazard a good deal on
mere opinion. 1t would be difficult
now to estimate the cohesive power ex-
ercised by those institutions during
the war. They were the financial agents
Ofthe Government, and not only bought
its bonds, and thus raised immense
sums of money for the war, but induced
thousands and tens OF thousands of
sales among the people. They are not
therefore to be judged wholly by their
position to-day. We must view them
from first to last. As to the future, we
incline to the opinion that the popular
Idea will be that preached by the Her
aid, and that the day will come when
the National Banks will not be popu-
lar. Apurely greenback policy would
now, and from this time on, undoubted-
ly be the better policy for the Govern
ment. We should haye no banks of
issue, but banks of deposit simply, and
the Government would furnish the cis-
culating medium. There is no denying
that we would thus save large amount
OF interest. II ever the talked OF
proposition becomes law compelling
the banks to redeem their issues at New
York, or in any other principal finan-
cial centres, the banks themselves will
not be unwilling to see purely green
back circulation.

The Register and Mayor Sweeney.


The editor Of the Register made very
short and feeble response yesterday to
our comments OF the day previous on
his eulogy on Mayor Sweeney's ad-
ministrstion OF our city affairs. he
claims that we came down a peg" to
quote his own language, in admitting
the reduction of taxes, &c, during the
last two years, and that we virtually
conceded all that he had claimed for
Mayor Sweeney's administration in the
way of peace, good order, sc. Now no
one knows better than the editor of the
Register that this is an entire misrepre-
sentation. He can not quote a single
passage from our article to justify any
such remark The point we sought to
make was that Mayor Sweeney could
lay no claim to the merit of having
either reduced our taxes or given US a
better municipal government in the
way of decrease in crime, &C., and
that, therefore, tine Register must not
undertake TO practice upon the sup
posed gullibiIity of the people, as in
years past, in regard 10 the Mayors
record. We have no special objection
10 the editor of the Register assuming
any amount of virtuous indignation
over our comments, even to the extent
OF saying that they were Outrageous
and despicable beyond expression.'
And it may be. as he says, that these
words have been applied to them
in his hearing, by some OF our party
associates Be that as it may, he viii
allow us to say, on the other hand,
that our comments have been
but the echoes of a considerable num-
Der Ofhts party associates" quite as
many, We judge, as he can quote from
on our side in support OF his asser-
tious. We have not aimed 10 be per-
souaIIy abusive OF Mr.. Sweeney TO the
slightest degree. He is public man
and is a candidate for public Office, and
all his acts and qualifications, so far as
they may bear upon his fitness for that
office, are Legitimate subjects of dis
cussion. We have stated nothing that
has not been substantiated to us as
fact, and if there were any errors in our
statements it was the duty of the Regis
ter to have pointed them out. But it
does not instance a single one, and
therefore virtually admits them all.
The editor says that he will not
dignity our comments by "ofering
denial :" but will leave 1.-the people
OF Wheeling" TO reply at the
next Municipal election Very we'll.
We have no objections to that. That is
jury To which we also are willing to
submit the facts as stated. If the peo-
pie shall still considerthat Mayor Swee-
ney is the best man for their Chief Ex-
ecutive officer, we shall certainly take
our chances in the same boat, as We
have heretofore, and submit to their
verdict.

IT SEEMS from the testimony of Mr..
Garrett, the President of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, that the
Fast Freight business on that road is
done by the Company, and that the
Company runs its trains so rapidly that
this business is done with more des-
patch than by the freight lines on other
roads; and the fact is demonstrated
that a railroad can do its own traffic as
expeditiOusly as it does the traffic of
others, to whom it makes concessions
on its line. Mr.. CARROTS testimony is
especially valuable as pointing out the
evil results which ordinarily follow.
when private companies undertake an
enterprise which belongs legitimately
to the railroads, and his observations
are worthy of the attention of all rail-
road stockholders and managers.
We add to this testimony that of Mr.,
Gather, an express superintendent,
who sees peril to the express interests
in the action of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. There is a certain busepess
which may, with propriety, be given up
to express companies, but the vast mass
of the freiShtiug traffic, now so largely
in the hands of private organizations,
belongs to the railroads, and should be
done by them. to the immediate increase
of their profits and the advancement of
the interest of stockholders.

DR.. HOLMES NEW NOVEL, The
Guardian Angel, opens in the January
Atlantic with brilliant display of his
delicate fancy, his subtle philosophy,
his rare Wit, and his impressive sug-
gestiyeness. Portions of the first chap
ters are just delicious. This probably
contains the keynote to the story
ut Is by no means certain that our
individual personality is the single in
habit2nt OF these our corPoreal frames.
Nay, there is recorded an experience of
one of the living persons mentioned in
this narratiVe-to be given in full in its
proper place-whicb, so far as it is re-
ceiyed in evidence, tends to show that
some, at least, who have long been
dead, may enjoy a kind of secondary
and Imperfect, yet self-conScious life,
in these bodily tenenents which we are
in the habit of considering excl usively
our own. There are many circum-
stances, familiar to common observers,
which favor this belief 20 a ceFtIon ex-
text Thus, at one moment we detect
the look, at another the tone of voice, at
another some characteristic movement
of this or that ancestor, in our relations
or others. There are times when our
friends do not act like themselves, but
apparently in obedience to some other
law than that Of their own proper ma
ture. We all do things both awake and
asleep which surprise US. Perhaps we
have co-teuants in this house we live in.
No less than eight distinct personalities
are said to have co-existed in a single
female mentioned by an ancient phy-
stefan of unimpeachable authority. In
this light We may, perhaps, see the
meaning of a sentence, from a work
which will be repeatedly referred to in
this narrative, viz: This body in which
we journey across the isthm1s between
the two oceans is not a private carriage,
