GOLD WATCHES.

The question What becomes of all
the pins p now sinks into insigni6cance
beside another inquiry of more serious
moment. What has become of all the
gold watches This country has been
famous for these glittering time-pieces,
Not well-to-do gentleman in any part
of the land but had his gold ticker they
were an indispensable portion of yousg
lady's daily attire and even beardless
boys were eager to possess the coveted
treasure, and could not wait for it until
they came to mans estate. But, unfor-
tunately for the happy owners of these
elegant articles, the eye Of the greedy
tax-gatherer was caught by their glitter,
and they were to be made to contribute
to the national revenue. Any gold
watch in use, worth less than one hun
dred dollars, was to be charged one dol
lar, and when valued at over one hun
bred dollars was to pay two dollars cash
per annum. AT this precise moment,
by singular coincidence, large part
of the gold watches in many States dis
appeared from record. The sudden
vanishing of much valuable property
should be a matter of public concern,
and we desire to direct toward it, the
attention Of all who are interested, in the
hope of obtaining some explanation of
this remarkable phenomenon. The fol-
loving, from the latest official return Of
the Commissioners of Internal Revenue,
exhibits the extent of this startling loss,
and may partially aid in its recovery:

Like leaves on Autumn's bougb, old friend
Our ripest hopes depart;
There's little left US now, old friend,
To cheer the Patriots heart.
The affairs where we knelt, old friend,
Grow desolate and cold,
And faint is the faith we felt, old friend,
In the valiant days of old.
In bloody shrouds they SLEEP, old friend,
Who could not live as slaves;
The living only weep, old friend,
Above their Martyrs graves
Freedom hath many a wound, old friend,
And, ring'd by hounds of hell,
She wraps her purple round, old friend,
To fall as Caesar fell.
The men Of blood prevail, old friend,
And, stricken in the night,
The peoples weeping wall, old friend,
Goes praying for the light.
And yet their day shall come, old friend,
Though we may never hear,
The shouts Of haryest-home, old friend,
Nor see the golden year.

ExT THE MEN who have indicted
Jefferson Davis, according to the Rich
mond Examiner, are not like Caesars
wife, above suspicion. The editor says
they are all known in Richmond as mem
bers of the notorious " Ferret Club, :"
sworn to hang Jefferson Davis, if pos
sible. These creatures we're ordered TO
Norfolk by Underwood for the occasion
and to accomplish the purpose. As for
Wardwell, who is party to the finding
of the Indictment, he was disqualified by
his already expressed prejudice in the
case. We heard him declare no longer
than ten days ago, that if he sat on the
jury that was to try Jefferson Davis he
would " hang him to the first tree that
would bear his form" It is very clear
that these men, composing the Grand
Jury ofthis court, assembled with malice
aforethought, and brought in the indict-
ment as matter Of course.

"We have some considerable pity for

to commit all sorts Of outrageous tricks,
that must eventually tell ID tenfold force

SO close to the filthy contraband
1t may be added that the women even

MIsoEeENATIoN IN VERMoST. Some
time since there was family in Sand
gate, Vermont, with a sable black man
as husband, from so to IS years old,
and white woman sonic ten or fifteen
years younger as wife, with four children,
three Of whom were white. aud the
fourth mulatto, the issue of this white
and black married couple. The woman
had been the wife Of white soldier who
was killed in battle, and tho three
children were the offspring Of this mar
riage. The woman was in bad health
and in the first stage Of consumption.
The family became town charge, and
had to be supported at the expense of
the people of Sandgate. The cute Sand
gatians concluded, however, not long to
bear the load of their support, and they
accordingly forwarded this black and
white family to Chicago, where, having
no means of supporting themselves, they
became public charge on the poor fund
of that city. The Chicago authorities
inquired into the facts about this family,
and learning the nature Of the present
sent them by the Sandgate officials, they
Immediately started the family back to
the place from whence they came, paying
their railroad fare thence. This family
arrived in Troy on Saturday night,
after the train had gone North, and
having no place to stay, and not sufficient
means to pay hotel bill, they applied
to the Second Police Station house for
lodging and shelter until they could
take their departure by this mornings
early northern train. The request was
granted, and they were guests at the
Hotel de Police all day yesterday The
woman was in feeble health and evident
ly has the consumption This whole
affair is little creditablo to the humanita-
rians Of SYNDICATE. who seem to prefer
sending their contributions to the freed
men Of the far South, rather than to ex-
pend them in taking care Of the colorcd
poor at their own doors. Troy Wing.

New Orleans daily crescent., 1866-06-08


We are glad to see that there is but little dispo
slton shown by cur people to 90 far from home
to spend the summer. The experience Of many
years has demonstrated that when there is no ep-
demio there is not a healthier country in
the world than Louisiana, summer and winter
Take the statistics of mortality and twill be found
that Louisiana people, generally, live to the ave
rage duration of existence; and there are many
| cases where extreme old age has been reached
by persons who are not only natives of the State
but have never gone beyond its boundaries.
There is, then, no sanitary reason why any one
should go from home to spend the summer. In
respect of comforts, it will be universally allowed
that one can always procure more of them at
home than abroad. We have a longer summer
here it is true, than they have in more northern
attudes--but the thermometer never shows such
extremes of heat nor does warm weather feel so
oppressive as in the crowded cities of the North
where no breeze comes to relieve the sultriness of
the atmosphere.
Some, however, may be tempted by desire of
reoreation-an anxiety to be clear of the cares of
business and the annoyances of everyday life-to
spend portion of the summer away from home
In such case one need not go beyond the sea shore
of our neighboring State, Mississippi, or the
pleasant resorts of the eastern shore of Mobile
Bay From Bay st. Louis to Point Clear there are
seaside villages along the coast where one may
have recreation, comfort, amusement and tbetter
than ALL health. Nothing is more delicious than
to 'inhale the nYigorating south breeze, to bathe
in the salt water, to pluck the ripe fruits which
grow in such abundance, to indulge in the sport of
the angler, Or to rest supiey under the spreading
branches Of the trees, and dream away existence
in building those. castles in the air which, in de,
fault Of real ones, we can always have the salts
faction of erecting.
But il there are those who prefer to go still far
ther from home, we see noreason why they should
travel beyond the mountains of North Alabama or
Virginia. We do not urge any political or social
reasons favor of our Southern resorts over those
of the North We assert, what is undeniable, that
more of quiet, more Of comfort, more of health,
can be procured in the mountains of Virginia dur
ing the summer season than in all of the Northern
watering places from Cape May to Saratoga, If
there is region where Hygeia, the goddess of
health, has specially erected her temples, it is
within the grand old mountains Of Virginia, where
