CAUTION FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY

1t having come to our knowledge that i'm
itations of ihe American Watch have been
put upon the market in great number, calcu-
lated by their utter worthlessneSs to injure
the reputation of our genuine products, to
protect our own interests and the public from
imposition, we again publish the trade marks
by which our Watches may invariably be
known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches.
The First has the name
"AMERICAN WATCH CO.. Waltham
Mass" )" engraved on the inside plate
The Second has the name
"APPLETON, TRACY & CO., WaItham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate
TIE Third has the name
"P. S. BARTLETT, WaItbam, Mass" en-.
graved on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the name Amer
lean Watch Co. painted on the dial, and are
warranted in every respect
The Fourth has the name
s'WN. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved
on the inside plate, and is not named on the
dial
All the above described watches are made
of various sizes, and are sold in gold or silver
cases, as may be required.
1t is hardly possible for US to accurately
describe the numerous limitations to which
we have alluded. They are usually inscribed
with names so nearly approaching our own
as to escape the observation Of the unaccus.
toned buyer. Some are represented as made
by the "Uni0n Watch Co., of Boston, Mass
no such company existing Some are
named the "Soldiers Watch" to be sold .as
our Fourth or VIM. Ellery style, usually
known as the 'SoIdier's Watch" Others are
named the "Appleton Watch Co. )" others
the P. S. BartLEY," instead Of our "P. S. Bart
lett :" besides many varieties named in such
a manner as to convey the idea that they are
the veritable productions of the American
Watch Company.
We also caution the public, and particu-
larly soldiers against buying certain articles
CALLED watches. so freely advertised in Illus
trated papers as Army Watches" aOficer's
Watches" "Magic Time Observers" "Arcana
Watches" &C.. the prices of which are stated
to be from seven to sixteen dollars. A good
watch, in these times, cannot be afforded
any such money
A little attention on the part of buyers will
protect them from gross imposition.

High Prices,

We call the attention of our readers
TO an article on our first page entitled
''High Price of Living" taken from
Forney's Press. This is q remarkable
article, for several reasons; One is,
the channel through which it finds its
way.to the public; and another, that
one of the authors (Forney).of "thiev-
ing high prices as be properly calls
them, should, in this truthful manner,
upbraid himself aud his confederat es.
If this is not crucifying and putting
to shame the political vagabonds who
are devouring the country and its
inhabitants, we know not what is.
But why did not the Press talk this
way before the electiong Why was
not the bread, butter, match, milk
stamp and tax story rehearsed before
as well as after the election? We
fear that a stray calf has jumped into
the editorial pasture of the Press.
Forney is good at slandering others,
but he seldom goes back on himself
in this truthful manner He asks
Is there any h.nesi reason Why pound Of but
ter formerly sold At u to u cents, should nov
fctch 20 TO IS, or why 10 TO u cents should b
charged for quar-, Of milk, which cost to seen,
before the war;
We answer Nothing in the world
except the teachings and the practice
ofyour party. Put the Democrati
party in power, and the Union wi
soon be restored money, instead {
rags, will become the circulating mt
dium; and the stamp and tax-gathel
crs will become as scarce as befor
the war Your party is unfit to GOV
free country, as has been demor
strated in a thousand instances With
the past six years.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-lt will be
recollected that some time ago four
citizens of South Carolina were arrest
ed, by command of Major General
Sickles, and having been tried by n
military court, under the orders of
that officer, were sentenced to death.
The sentence was commuted by the
President TO imprisonment for life,
and the prisoners having been first
dispatched to the Dry Tortugas, in
order toevade writ Of habeas corpus,
were eventually incarcerated in Fort
Delaware. Here they were demanded
by the civil authority, under writ
of habeas corpus issued by Judge
Hall. the District Judge OF the United
States for the district Of Delaware
Judge Hall is magistrate venerable
alike by his years and by the dignity
and firmness with which he has,
through long career, administered
his high Office. The mandate of his
court was obeyed the prisoners were
brought before him, and after patient
hearing of the case, they were dis
charged, on the express ground tha
according to the law of the land thu
prisoners ought not 10 and cannot bC
held under the commuted sentence o
this military commission, and tina
they be discharged"

The EMPEROR OF BRAzrL.-It has
already been announced that Don

Paris Exposition, intends to pass
through the United Statas, and it is
now stated that his Majesty will take
advantage of this opportunity to make
an extended tour through the States.
lie has long desired to see this coun-
try and TO witness the progress we
have made in the arts and sciences.
He is a good chemist and civil en-
gineer, accomplished linguist, and
a great admirer Of American insti-
tutions and he is animated by that
desire, so strongly expressed by all the
world, TO make good friend of the
United States government.

The Rev Dr. Pressly, of Pittsburg,
one of the leading divines of the Uni
ted Presbyterian denomination in wes-
tern Pennsylvania, has just been ex-
PEELED from the ministry for "inhuman
treatment of his wife and children, in
decent and blasphemous language,
and for having illicit intercourse with
a portion Of the female members Of
his congregation We wonder if q
heavier charge could be brought
against a New York Five Pointer?
The Rev. John Douglas has also
came to grief, having been censured
by the church ofiiciary for general i'm
morality. What the specific charges
were we have not learned. We OBJ
serve by our western exchanges that
these two gay and festive "cusses"
have for several years past been very
'loyal, delivering lectures and stump
ing that section of the State for the
candidates put forth by the party con
trolled by "grand moral ideas" Al
Franklin, says the Spectator, they dc
nounced Democrats and sinners terri
bly,, and insisted that "Copperheads'
should be expelled from the Churcf
for disloyal practices. Nice chaps t
talk about and denounce their neigh
bors.
We may be called to an account fol
this expose by some 1oyalists," anC
charged with assailing religion; bu
as we have good authority (see Mat
thew, XIV, 6, Z, 8, 8; also XXlll, ID
IL, Is, and 23 TO 33,) for denouncinI
these wolves in sleeps clothing, w
feel like warning tho public agains
their insidious wies. The great Apos
tie, Paul, seems, from the warning h
gave, to have had them hanging
around his flock, or anticipated tha
they would arise, because in first Tin

Th1 Clnrrn On PoIifics.

Nearly all the parsons who preached
in the City Of Churches on Sunday,
the 4th instant, devoted their dis,
courses 10 the elections, recommend
ing how their focks should vote today
and dcnouncing the corruptions OF the
"ring." Politics belong not TO the
parsons, bat to the newspapers and the
politicians. Morals and religion come
properly within the province OF the
clergy. They know nothing about
the "ring" except what they get from
the newspapers, and as to the saliva
ton of souls, no one supposes that
the "ring" has any connection with
that, Why don't the parsons give
little attention TO the theatres for ex-
ample, the model artists theatre on
Broadway, where from five to fifty
Young ladies are dancing every night
nearly naked, exhibiting all the beau
ties OF nature, and its consequences.
There the parsons might find some
thing touching morals and religion.
They ought to go and see this piece
of practical morality, and then they
would be able to tell their congrega-
tions the naked truth about it. There
is Mr.. Wheatley, the elegant gentle
man, Wheatley the practical moralist,
Wheatley, the fast growing million
aire, making fortune out Of his art
lists while the other associated theatres
are going to the bad altogether Here
Is pun ~alleslE in an awful strait for
want of houses, and poor Stuart al
most seedy. The parsons may learn
from this fact how morals and relig-
ion may be affected by the theatres,and
how much more becoming subjects toi
their solicitude they are than the in
nocent elections or the immaculate

Wednesday Morning, Nov. %, 1866.
The ".GdrOcafes.''

W. were ccnsured Dy our nelghpor,
last week, for referring to the course
of the Methodist advocates. We sup
posed that it was our duty as a jouin-
alist to call the attention of the pub
lie to the fact, that leading journal,
protesting to be the organ Of a large
class of religionists, was actually ad-
vocating the election to Congress OF
two leading Infdels and avowed dis
unionists-the one white and the 9th
er black; while another of the same
litter was advocating the social equal
ity of the white and negro races. We
NAV be a little nervous upon these
two points, and unnecessarily alarmed
at the bold allegations ofthese organs;
but we belong to the class that pre-
pares for war in the time OF peace,
and therefore merely called the atten-
ton of our readers to the monstrosi-
ties these modern Judas sheets were
about perpetrating upon the people.
We publish the two articles referred
to this week. The Bishops named
Campbell, Roberts and Payne-are
negroes. The editor, however, states
that "a reasonable amount Of sense
and piety and ten men, could settle
this question in an hour" This is an
admission that up to this time these
chaps have possessed neither, and
therefore, they design to amalgamate
with infdels and negroes in the fu-
ture, to acquire these necessary attri-
butes. This is a bad confession to
make after a trial Of a hundred years.
What blind old fogies the Westley's
must have been What pity they
did not have the Illuminating rays OF
these two Advocates to assist them to
increase their "sense and piety y If
we find the flank movement made
by these raiders to be generally ap-
proved, we will notify the men OF
"sense and piety" to put their guns in
position.
Now, if any individual will tell us
why protesting Christian should ad
vocate the election of infdels, or O
man brim full Of "loyalty' seek the
elevation Of avowed disunionists tC
positions high in the Government, We
will know exactly how to attack tho
hypocrites who have been braying re
ligion, loyalty and negro equality fol
the past few years. AS the case nov
stands, we are terribly befuddled.
The social eqality Of the two race
in Church affairs, as advocated by th'
St Louis organ, is not half Us incom
prehensibe and unnatural an alliance
as that advocated by the New Yorl
BROTHER which may perhaps suit tn
taste OF large portion of his North
western brethren, who have nevc
seen a negro. We hold that the adop
ton of negro equality in church al
fairs, is not half so repugnant as tha
of political equality. If any or all Q
the religious denominations see fit {
come down to this point, those {
whom it is unnatural and rcpugnan
can withdraw, and remain separat
and distinct; but in political reli
tion the negro would be as potent Q
the ballot and jury boxes as the "whit
trash" and would adhere TO it as tel
aciously as the seven years itch. W
must exclaim, from these things goo
Lord deliver us.

The shysters and scallywags who
now lead and control the Disunion
party are as prolific in Matching and
propagating schemes of political do
baachery, as a dog is in producing
feas. The glorious feast they enjoyed
during thcreign Of A. L., by plunder-
ing the Treasury and the people, to
forward their infamous schemes Of
party success and consequent disunion,
has received serious check since the
accession of Andrew Johnson to the
Presidential Chair and Mr.. McCul-
Tough to the Treasury. These Provi-
dental changes disconnected the
Bumpers for while. Defeat at the
then approaching election stared them
in the face, unless they could concoct
some scheme by which they could, as
heretofore, corrupt the people. John

Tough in the Treasury was Bull Run
