PERILs OF EDITING A NEWSPAPER IN
THE SoUTH.-The following from the
Vicksburg Miss. } Republican, reviewing
the history of newspapers in that city, IL
Illustrates some Of the dangers of editorial
life IN the South during the chalcyon
days" before the war:
CDR. Hagan took charge in 1889, fought
duel with the editor of the Wing, par
ticipated in number of free fights, and
was finally killed in 1912, in a street
fight, by D. w Adams. His assistant,
Isaac Partridge, died with yellow ever, IN
1849. DR.. j. S. Hall, asso dated with
MI Partridge, was a noted duelist, and
had "a number of affairs, in one of which
he was severely wounded The next un-
lucky editor was James Ryan, who In
indicating his honor was killed by Il.
E. Hamit, of the Wig Next in the
list came Walter Hickey, who INDUCED
IN several street reWs, and was repeatedly
wounded he killed Dr. Macklin, and
was soon after allied himself in the Lone
Star State 49,.
"The dext editor was John Lavias, who,
it seems, declined glory on the field OF
honor, and consequently is not entitled
to place in the niche of fame. He in
dulged. however, in the usual amount of
Southern indiscreet abuse, and atoned
for his folly by serving a time in prison.
Mr.. jenkins, his successor, in aspiring to
immortality, came to an untimely end IN
street fight with Ell A. Crabbe Mr..
| Crabbe was assassinated n the same man.
ner in Sonora Mr. r. G. Jones succeeded
Jenkins, but not finding the editorial
chair an easy one, he did the most sensi.
| BILE thing an editor could do, and drowned
his sorrows and body at the same time
in the Father of Waters. William Roy,
Esq, subsequently assumed editorial
charge of the Sentinel, and soon after he
celebrated the event with a street fight.
This exercise was repeated at intervals
until finally he was assassinated in street
row by his book-keeper. The book-keep-
err died natural death about two years
since.
Out of nine editors enumerated above
no less six came to violent deaths-five
being fatally shot or stabbed, and one
committing suicide by drowning; one was
severely wounded, one died of yellow few
er, and one bad experience in prison
Yet Southern journalists still mourn oV51
the good times past, and sigh for their
return. -.-..

SOLDIERS BoUNTIEs.-The Chicago
Republican says: Two discharged I'm
ion soldiers-one in Illinois and one in
Kansas, the latter having lost an arm in
the service-write to us to know the rea-
son for delay in the payment of the extra
500 bounty, under the act of 1866
Both state that they made their applica-
ton year ago, and still have failed so
far to obtain anything. There has un-
doubtly been some delay in the examina-
ton of these claims at Washington but
a class Of them which go to Paymasters
for settlement are now being rapidly paid
by the officers Of the Pay Department
located in this city. Another class (to
which those of our correspondents pro-
badly belong) are paid by the Depart
ment at Washington, and we know of no
reason for delay except informally in the
application (of which they ought to be
informed), or negligence of their attor-
neys. The best means for onr CORES
pon6ents to pursue to obtain satisfactory
information on the subject, is to address
their Military State Agent at Washing
ton, if the State has one, + in the alb
sence of such agent, tIeir Representative
in Congress. Such a course will gener-
ally bring the desired information.

.sl A CARD FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH co.
WALTHAW, MASS.

This Company beg leave to inform tie pub
lie that they commenced operations in 1850,
and their factory now covers four acres of
ground, and has cost more than million dol
lars, and employs over 700 operatives. They
produce IS, 600 Watches year, and make and
sell not less than one half of oil the watches
sold in the United States .r-etaT
The difference between their manufacture
and the European is briefly this European
Watches are made almost entirely By hard, and
the result is of necessity lack of that uni
formity, which is Indispensable to correct
time-keeping. Both the eye and the hand of
the most skillful operative must vary But it
is fact that except watches of the highez
grades, European watches are the product of
the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and the re-
suit is the worthless Azores, Lepines and so
called Patens Levers--whch soon cost more in
attempted repairs, than their original price.
Common workman, boys and woman, buy
the rough separate parts of these watches from
various factories, polish and put them together,
ank take them to the nearest watch merchant,
who stamps and engraves them with any name
or brand that NAV he ordered -0# Ez#

MEXICO.


that the subject of Mexican annexation
has been already seriously preached to
several radical Senators. This is as we
expected The hour is not far distant
when the decision of this question will
be presented to the people of this country.
We rejoice in the overthrow of MACMILLAN,
although in doubt as to the policy of bis
execution.
We do not, however, rejoice because we
deem it the harbinger or forerunner of
order and free government in Mexico.
We indulge in no such delusion as that
We simply rejoice because one sees in it
the defeat of European scheme to sta TT
a monarchy on this continent, a constant
and perpetual menace to our free institu-
tons. For us the overthrow of Maxi
milan has this extent of joy. We can
see, however, in the triumph Of Juarez
nothing which Of itself promises perms-
nent good to the Mexican people. We
can see in it only the temporar y triumph
of a faction against foreign usurper.
To us it is no pledge whatever of the fu-
ture unity or h armony of the Mexicans.
With them harmony and unity are i'm
possible The fact is too obvious for ar
gument. No one dreams that Juarez can
hold the reins for any great length of
time. A successful revolt against his
authority may be expected at any mo-
ment We are not surprised, therefore,
to see the annexation question cropping
out. Butfor this government, the French
legions would undoubtedly not have been
withdrawn, and unquestionably at this
| moment, scion of the House of Haps-
burg would rule in the halls of the Mon
| tezumas. i
Macmillan intended to introduce into
Mexico law and order, despotic it is true,
but nevertheless law and order new and
strange features in the history of that
unhappy republic. BY the conduct OF
this country, the scheme has been de.
feated, and it is a serious question what
the precise 6uty of this country is in the
premises. 1t sounds very well for Mr..
| Seward to express the confident hope
| that if let alone the Mexicans will them
selves restore order and harmony The
world, however, knows better. Our
Government having defeated the attempt
of Macmillan, the world will hold us to a
| strict (moral though it be) accountability
in regard to Mexican affairs. In our
opinion, we had no right to defeat Maxi
milan, and then suffer the Mexicans to
fall back into disorder and anarchy. We
by our conduct are charged with the duty
of preserving peace and order in that dis
tracted country Nor can we escape the
responsibility We have applied the
| Monroe doctrine. 1t IS true, We have not
fred a gun, but yet all the world knew
that we were ready to meet combined
| Europe in defence of that doctrine. Louis
Napoleon at least knew it, and acted ac-
cordingly. Had we sent into Mexico an
army of twenty thousand men to achieve
what our simple demands have achieved,
our responsibility in the premises would
not have been greater. This will be. the
| judgement of posterity, and from that
judgement there is no appeal. It is time
then tor our Representatives in Congress
to begin the consideration of the Mexi-
can question. "

POSSIBLE RUNIC DISCOVERY ON THE
PoTo.IAC.-A Danish antiquary travel
ing in this country thinks he has found a
wonderful Runic inscription on rock
near Georgetown D. G. According to
this sauan, the inscription reads as fol-
lows
"Here rests Syasy Cor susan) the fair
haired, a person from the east of Iceland,
the widow of Kjoldr, and sister ofThorgr,
children Of the same father, twenty-five
years of age. May God make glad her
soul. 1O51."
In digging at the 70 t of this Runic
rock, the dscoverer further found some
human teeth, two "Roman coins," and
"three bronze trinkets."
Finally, just above the Rune is carved
the name "W Langley: 1853"
OF course, the Danish professor 1mrne-
diately builds theory on this slender
foundation. He says his discovery is I'M
questionable proof of the visits OF the ee-
landic voyagers to this continent, and that
this is confirmed by a manuscript dug
out of some old ruins at Skahldt, Iceland,
not long ago. lin which it is affirmed that,
under the command Of Herbardur, his
countryman sailed in a southerly direc-
ton from Vineland Cor Martha's Vine
yard), where they wintered, and thence
up a sea and various rivers, the ascent Of
one of which was stopped by succession
Of falls, to which, from their shape and
foamy appearance, they gave the name of
Hvidsderk, or white shirt; and the man
uscript further states that in this neig b.
borhood the illegitimate daughter Of
Sore was killed by small spear Cor ar
row., and buried near the spot where
she fell .-.-,-r -.
This may all be true. But there is
such a thing as "hoax" practiced not
intrequently upon enthusiastic gentlemen
of the "Monkborns" persuation, and the
learned Dane had better read his Rune
many times and with an exceedingly
skeptic eye, before he lays his discovery
before the Copenhagen Royal Society,"
of which he is member.

How American Watches are
made

The American Waltham Watch is made b7
no such uncertain process-and by no such in
competent workmen. All the Company's OBJ
erations, from the reception of raw materials
to the completion of the watch, are carried on
uuder one roof, and under one skillful and COM
petent direction. But the great distinguishing
feature Of their Watches is she fact that their
several parts are all made by the inast, the
most perfect and delicate machinery ever
brought to the aid of human industry Ever
one of the more than hundred parts of every<
watch is made by machine-~tha: infallibly
reproduces every succeeding part with the
most unvarying accuracy. 1t was only neces.
sary to make one perfect watch of any part
cular style and then to adjust the hundred ma
chimes necessary to reproduce every part of
that watch, and it follows that every succeed
ing watch mt st be like it.
The Company respectfully submit their
watches on their merits only. They claim to
make.
A BETTER ARTICLE FOR THE MONEY
by their improved mechanical proce sses than
can be made under the ld-fashioned handicrait
system. They manufacture watches of every
grade, from good low priced, and substantial
article, in solid silver hunting cases, to the
finest chronometer; and ais ladies' watches in
plain gold or the finest enameled and iewelet
cases. but the indispensable requisite of all their
watches is that they shall be GOOD TINE
KEEPERS. It shonld be remembered that
except their single lowest grade named "Home
Watch Company, Boston," ALL WATCHES
made by them
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by a special certificate, and this varrantee ia
good at all times against the Company or its

CoTsWoLD SHEEP. - The Kenosha
Telegraph of the 18th says: owe MOTTO

GENERAL ORDER No. 34.-It is
stated that the cause which led TO the
issuing of Order No. 81 was belief
on the part of General Sickles that
justice was not rs promptly admins
tered i'll some parts of the State as it
might be. This being his belias, he
thought it advisable to make an
order which should allow the civil
authorities to retain the primary con-
troll of civil affairs, while, at the same
time, such information was furnished
the military authorities as would
enable them to revise any action al
ready taken. or to take any further
action as might be considered neces-
sary, General Sickles preferred doing
this to issuing such an order as that
issued, with the same intention and
motive, by General Schofeld
Charleston Mercw'y.

Com AND WHEAr.-It would be

Corn AND WHEAT. 1t would be
interesting to know how much corn is
planted during these pleasant June
days. Owing to the protracted wet
weather, large part of the corn fields
of the North have remained unplant-
ed. But now, through q region o
thousand miles long and three hun
dred broad, from daylight till dusk,
the farmer improves the favorable
hours to plant corn. Whatever the
amount may be, it is certainly larger
than ever was planted before. With
the incentives of high prices, real
scarcity of grain and the growing
season before us, we may confidently
expect yield fully up to the ave-
rage.
While the weather was so unfavor-
able for corn planting, it was highly
favorable for wheat. During those
wet, cold weeks, the wheat plant grew
very slowly, and, in protecting itself,
1T sent out new shoots, which now,
through all the fields, are rising to
sight and adding to n stand which,
by reason of the winter SHOWS, was
already good. This addition will add
much to the crop. Had the season
been warm, the plant would have
grown rapidly and been deprived of
this increase. Hence, one sees that
naturally cold climate, giving q
slow growth, and having tendency
to create self-protecting sod must
in series of years Weld more wealth
than warm, rapidly maturing eli
mate.
Thousands of sharp observers are
noting these facts, for millions of dol
lars depend upon them. The pros
pect OF bOnntiful halvests is having
Il powerful effect on the market. and
we are noting heavy declines. Other
articles of food are also declining.
These may beconsidcred Us sure signs
of speedy revival of trade.
