Proofs Of the Superior Quality
of the
American Watch
made at
WAxTHAM, MASS,

The American Watch Company, of waltham
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches are
cheaper, more accurate, less complex more dura-
bic, and better adapted for general use, and more
easily kept in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. They are simpler in
structure, and%herefore stron ger, and less likely
to be injured than the majority OF foreign wateh-
es, which are composed of from 125 to 300 pieces
while in an oldEnglish watch there are more than
700 parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let
ter:

GESrLEMEN-The watches manufactured by
you have been IN on this railroad for several
years by our-engi Remen, TO whom we furnish
watches as part of our equipment. There are
now some three hundred of them carried on our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
. time keepers. Indeed, have great satisfaction
IN saying your watches give less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches we have ever had in use
on this road. As you are aware, we formerly
trusted to those of English manufacture of ac-
knowledged good reputation; but as a class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done
as good service yours.
In these statements / am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experiences extended
over a series Of year. Respectfnliy,

named respectively as follows:

VIM. Eilery, Boston, Mass.
Home Watch Company, Boston, Mass.
All of these, with the exception of the Home
Watch Company, are warranted by the American
Watch Company to be of the best material on
the most approved principle, and to possess every
requisite for reliable time keeper. Every dealer
selling these. watches is provided with the Com
pany's printed card of guarantee, which should
accompany each watch sold, so that buyers may
feel sure that they are purchasing the genuine
ticle. There numerous counterfeits and mi-

their guard against imposition. as f#EF
Any grades of Waltham Watches may be pur-
chased of watch dealers throughout the country.

Cur cotsmporary Of the Charleston
Mercsuy, in discussing the question
as to when ,revulsion in feeling at
the North will come, has the follow
ing paragraph: M
~ tsThsre is nothing to be gained by
kicking against the pricks, END we
care not to trust to o hope that o.
moment may sweep away. It may be
that the Northern people arey1nore
cruel in spirit than they were two
years ago-that they are more dis
posed to .crnsh us now than they
were sixnmonths since. It may be
that Congress hut represents the feel
ing Of its onstituents; that it is but
the moderate mouth piece of in
censed' Northern opinion. It may be
that measuresS harsher than any of
which We yet; have knowledge may be
proclaimed against us; that confsca-
tion, incarceration, banishmert may
brood over us in tnrn. But I'll these
things will not change our earnest
beief-a belief las earnest as our be-
lief in our own being that there aDiA
6e'0 reDulsion Of popular feeling IN the
North, and that there aoW be a tide in
oa1- Gfdirs, upon The bosom Of achich
oto' people may safely ride to .fort,ne. "
! For some years before the war, and
for all the dreary years since its COM
mencement, we have hoped-al-
though we must confess not with o
very lively faith-to see and realize its
benefits, this long-promised reaction
in the popular feeling at the North.
But every succeeding opportunity
these people have had to manifest
this popular feeling, it has only de-
veloped as more deep-rooted and
bitter than those which went before.
Experience has taught us and the
Southern people not to "trust q hope
that a moment may sweep away"
and which has been swept away so
often, that we thought no sensible
man could ever be induced to trust
to it again. No, the only "tide in our
affairs, upon the bosom of which onr
i people (that is to say, the present
generation, may safely ride to for
tune"-good or bad-is to mount the
platform, or Chamber into the raft,
which Congress has constructed for
us, and make the best of it, using our
exertions in the most efficient me-
thod to reach a harbor of peace.
This thing of waiting for 20 revulsion
Of public feeling"at the North is all
moonshine, and has already led the
South into almost inextricable diff
culsies, and brought upon her de-
voted head all tho innumcrable evils
she now groans under. .a $.

from cotton and wooden factories,
from iron and steel, to- leather boots
and shoes and farming implements
It says very truly, that the South has
not only the finest region in the
world for cotton growing. but ''the
fbest facilities and greatestadvantages
for cotton manufactures TO any ex-
tent" and adds, that from its gene
rous soil and mild winter climate,
men can live more cheaply and real
ize larger profits from manufactures
of all kinds than can be made in New
England or Old England, if they
only go properly into the business.
The. Herald then says that men of
capital, looking about Nora invest
ments, will find their best field in the
Southern States. .
Nofpaper knows better than the
Herald the true position Of the South
ern States at the presentatime. All
that is said in the editorial to which
we allude is true, and it has not over
drawn the picture in its statements of
the resources of the South. She does
present the best field for investment
las well in manufactures as in agri-
culture) that can be found anywhere;
her resources, both as regards her
soil and its abundant products and
her mineral wealth, nre boundless-
but, as the Herald well knows, they
are not available, because capital and
labor will not come to the rescue.
The Herald is not ignorant of this
state of things, and the expression
that it thinks it strange that such and
such things should not be, is merely
sort of predatory introduction to
the subject to which attention is to be
called.
If the Herald, like the immortal
81. NJ" the peripatetic philosopher,
could cliff the veil and remove the
pressure, its glowing predictions of
the future of the South would no
doubt be speedily realized. But her
future is closely yelled in obscurity,
while the pressure on all her ener-
gies and capabilities is crushing in its
effects. Patience and endurance may
see the accomplishment of many of
the brightest predictions which have
been uttered for the South; but oh!
how many of her people, in the mean
time, will sink, never to rise again,

undeserved adversity.s ar, a

There is one thing that we, desire

ers to, and that is, that the mere act
Of availing themselves of the privilege
Of registration does not commit them
10 an endorsement of the rcconstruc-
hon Acts, or to voting for q conven-
Non. It is simply an act, of qualifi-
cation, comforting upon them the
right to vote as they please on the
questions at issue. They should bear
in mind that, having registered, they
can vote for or against q convention,
can select their men to represent them
in that body, and can vote to adopt
or reject the constitution it may sub
NIT for their approval, 'i'
This is an important point for those
qualified to consider. The mere
registration of their names does not
commit them one way or tho other,
and, indeed, if thoy choose, they
may refuse to vote at all But, by
registering, they will have secured
that option, whereas the neglect to do
so precludes them from exercising
their judgment at the ballot-box of
either men or measures, and disquali-
fies them from voting for or against
either, so long as these laws are in
force. Register, then, if you do not

MEAD's GRAPE CULTURE. full
title of this new work is can Elemen..
tary Treatise on American Grape
Culture and Wine-making," by Pc
ter B. Mead, illustrate with nearly
200 engravings drawn from nature.
A handsome octave of 483 pages,
just issued by Harper & Brothers.
It treats of all the facts and prin-
ciples involved in grape-growing
and wine-making, laying them clearly
in order before the reader, and link
ing them together with just so much
of the theory as is necessary to ex-
plain lucidly their relations to each
other, and unite them in the mind of
the student in one harmonious and
systematic whole. The author,
practical wine-maker, claims to have
given in this book simple record of
his own practice and experience,
stating no fact that he had not re-
peatedly verified, and which may not
be repeated by others with like re-
suits. His idea is, that any man
with common sense can, by the aid
of this book, raise good grapes and
make good wine. anywhere in Anne
rica, South of certain Arctic localities.
He explains how to lay out vine
yards; how and when to plant vines;
how to train them, giving pictures of
different kinds Of frames, and how to
trim and tend them; how to manure
the different varieties; when and how
to gather and preserve from decay
and insects-and, in word, all that
the grape planter need to know.
He then gives detailed descrip-
ton of the different varieties of grape,
from the Iona, which is the best
American grape, down to the Neff-
several hundred in all. He tells how
to propagate the grapevine by bud
ding, cuttings, layers and grating.
The various tools and implements
needed in the culture are described
and given in pictures. Diseases and
insects are discussed carefully.
The chapters upon wine-making
treat of tubs, crushers, presses, casks,
vats, saccharometers, thermometers,
siphons, cellars and bottles; of fer
mentatioN racking, second fermenta-
ton, sulphurizing, sediment, lees,
clearing, adulterations, coloring, gal
lizing, and lot of other things that
the maker must know. ~
Making wine, however, is not the
only object in raising grapes discuss
ed by our author; but table use of
grapes is carefully treated, and the
varieties best suited to this use are
pointed out ill the chapters on va
rieties.
Upon the whole, the author strongly
urges upon Americans the expediency

THOMPSON, THE MARTYR. -ssPal-

I notice that certain radical papers
in the North are attempting to make
political capital out of the insignifi-
cant broil at Columbia, S. c., few
days ago, wherein one Thompson be-
came involved.
I am reliably informed that the
said Thompson is now under bonds
in this city to appear at the next term
OF the Criminal Court, to answer the
charge of assaulting the bar-keeper
at the Metropolitan Hotel, last spring,
because he wouldn't give him credit
