JUDGE C., of Goreia, was very
Democratic, both in politics aud reli-
gion, and especially 50 in the latter.
Several years ago he was in attendance
on the superior court. The Presbyte
rians of the place, headed by their zeal
Gus and energetic minister, were at that
time actively engaged in an effort to
build new house of worship. The
Rev. Mr. Collins was zealously enlisted
in the good cause, and never let an OPP
portunity slip without presenting his
subscription list to all whom he might
meet. One day, when court adjourned,
as the Judge was passing out of the
court house, the reverend gentleman
touched him on the shoulder and asked
him to step aside with him a moment,
when the following colloquy took place :
This is Judge c., I believe 2
said Mr.. Collins. 1t is said the j.
We are engaged, said Mr.. c., I'm en-
deavoring to build US house of wor-
ship. Perhaps this (handing the j.
his subscription list) will inform you
of my object better than I can tell you.
Here the Judge looked very profes-
sional, took out his spectac!es, ezamin-
ed the heading Of the list very critical
ly, and for moment seemed engaged
in profound thought; then turning to
the expectant parson, the Judge, with
sly twinkle of the eye and the bland-
est smile imaginable, remarked, that
lCW bind them, sir-that will bind
them; no doubt about it-that will
bind them This took the reverend
gentleman little aback. But rallying
again, he renewed the attack in the
following style:
But, Judge, you don't understand
me; | want you to help US. We are
going to raise
'Ah ? said the Judge, you are going
to have raising, are you? Well, just
let me know when it is, and | will send
up three or four hands with pleasure
Here Mr.. C's countenance exhibited a
good deal of disgust, and he appeared
to be perfectly bewildered at what seem
ed the Judges stupidity.

How American Watches
Are Hf1fsn.

The American Waltham Watch is made by
no such uncertain process-anl by no such
incompetent workmen. All the Company's
operations from the reception of the raw ma
terials to the completion of the Watch. are
carried on under one roof, aud under one
skilltul and competent direction. But
the great distinguishing feature of their
Watches. is the fact that their several parts
are all made by The finest the most perfect
and delicate machinery ever brought to the
aid of human industry. Every one of the
more than hundred parts of every watch is
made by a machine-that infallibly repro
duces every succeeding part with the most
unVarylng accuracy. 1t was only necessary
to make one perfect watch of any particular
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 must be like H.
The Company respectfully submit their
watches on thei' merits only. They claim
to make a

can be made under the old fashioned handi-
craft system. They manufacture watches of
every grade from a good. low priced and
substantial article. in solid silver hunting
cases, to the finest chronometer; and also
ladies watches in plain Gold or the finest en-
amcled and jeweled cases ; but the indispens-
able requisite of all their watches is that they
shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. II should

The Two Races.

Speaking OF the late laws. tnc .A.u-
gllsta CH1'o'4ic}s tn,a Sentinel says:
With the enactment Of these laws,
we OF the South had nothing to do,
bat with the results growing out Of
the radical changes in the organic
law, we alone are most interested.
Misfortune to the black man affects
the white man. Prosperity to the
white :aa,;, uadcr tho pcc9!i:r cir
cumstances in which this section is
now placed, viii also be prosperity to
the black man The one has capital
the other has labor. Capital and
labor divided, and working in oppo-
site directions, can accomplish no
thing; but labor and capital united
work harmoniously together, and are
productive OF beneficial results to the
employer and employed
There must be confidence. The
black man must trust and confdc in
the white man, and the latter in re-
turn must deal fairly and Justly with
the former Our interests are the
same. The same destiny is before
US. The negro and the white man
OF the South We're born and raised
here. Here they will live and die.
There is and there can be no diver
sity Of interests between the two
races, Both should, therefore, work
harmoniously together for one COM
mon object, and zealously strive to
incnlcate friendly relations. This
object can be accomplished. The
blacks have confidence in the promi-
nent men OF our State. The intelii-
gent colored men of Augusta have
confidence in our leading citizens.
They mistrust the itinerant fire
brands who are seeking to SOW dis
cord and strife between their former
masters and themselves they ear
nestly desire our people to combat
the evil influences which are now at
work.
1t is, therefore, the duty of our
best citizens to assure the coIored
people that they are their friends;
that justice will be done them upon
all occasions, and that there is but
one law for the black man and the
white man. Let the good men of
the State see to it that their enemies
and our enemies do not succeed in
their wicked schemes. Teach them
their duties as citizens, the obliga-
tions which are assumed in exercising
the right of franchise; but, above all
things, let us be just and kind to a
class who are strongly attached to us
by ties Of birth and affection.

show you that we were honest n our
devotion to slavery, by treating you
| Justly and kindly as freemen. Choose
your wisest and best men for con-
sultation with us; let them tell us
what guarantees you require for your
rights, and they shall be freely ac-
| corded. We are of different races,
and must remain so; but we are all
Americans and Southerncrs; and, if
we do not henceforth live in har-
mony, it shall not be our fault
We might go on and fill our paper
with similar extracts from our ex-
changes, North and South. The
meeting Of the colored people of this
city, and the speeches OF Gen. Hamp-
ton and the colorcd speakers on that
occasion, has created intense interest
throughout every section Of the
country. The journals of the domi-
nant party at the North betray anxiety
lest, by the Congressional legislation,
they have strengthened, instead of
weakened, the hands of the Southern
people; while the conservative press
of the North and nearly all the jour
nails of the South see in the policy
enunciated ut that meeting the only
hope of political salvation to our
section. And we believe this to be
the case; the cause of the colored
voter is that Of the white voter; their
great interest in the prosperity of
the South, and Of her advancement
IN all the elements which make any
people great and influential, are
identical. Here both have to live,
and it behooves both to dwell toge-
ther in harmony, and especially
should they be united i'll opposition
to any party opposed to the welfare
and prosperity Of the land they live
III. It Is for this reason that we write
as we do and extract from our cotcm-
porarics. We believe the South has
reached y turning point Of the ut
most Importance to her future veal,
and it is therefore that we urge unity
Of action among all her people, white
and colored, to bring her up ont OF

activity, greatness and prosperity.

cit is very desirable" writes Mr..
johnson, 'that this long and ruinous
struggle between the sections should
be terminated in some way-in the
best mode possible, in view of the
situation" Mr.. Barksdale's appeals
are yet more significant The init
mate friend of jeff. Davis to the last,
his recommendation to accept the
''ine Sitable fact" which cannot safely
be resented with impotent malice
nor treated with stolid Indifference, y
possesses popularity second only to
the conversion of Wade Ham, on.
These demonstration have 20
tency beyond the States in which
they occur. In Louisiana, for in
stance, influential journals point to
them by way of rebuking the folly
and obstinacy Of our Legislature
Gould our Legislature, says the
New Orleans Bulletin, ''be prevailed
upon to cease their futile efforts to
annul the Acts Of Congress by pre-
ambles and resolutions, the State
might be benefited This tendency
to practical effort is strengthened by
the admirable spirit in which some Of
the commanders of military districts
have entered upon their duties. Gen.
Schofield's order, upon assuming com
mand in Virginia. is the subject of
much friendly criticism, The opinion
is received, that while the law will be
faithfully, un1iinchingly admins
tered, only indiscretion on the part
Of the South Will provoke the rigors
Of military rule. And this impress
sion naturally Strengthens the dispo-
sition to yield to conditions which
cannot be evadel, and to bow TO an
authority which cannot be ,ietieG with
impunitv.
Here and there m appeal to the
Supreme Court is still talked OF. The
common sense Of the people, how
ever, revolts against Il process which
could not by any possibility bring
deliverance. The New Orleans Bee
expresses the prevailing opinion OF
tho Southern press when it warns the
people against delusions. and against
the idea of dependence on the Su-
preme Court as the widest delusion
Of all. Mr.. Barksdale's newspaper,
the Jackson Miss Cin'ion, declares
that, ''as plan Of practical relief, it
is utterly worthless. II is like the act
OF the drowning man who grasps at a
straw. In his desperation, he may
clutch it, but it will avail him no
thing" The South is evidently rapidly
escaping from the era Of delusions.
With stern realities before it. its peo-
pie are no longer disposed to rely
upon the guidance OF the men who
have ruined them.

Every loyal citizen, black or white,

Acts, to have voice in the good work

tifths of those who have been rebels.

enfranchised very soon. Congress
has provided for that in the pending

New York C&DEHGRoCND HAL-

New York C&DEHGEoCND HAu.-
wAY.-The New York Past SAYS:
The underground railway bill,
which passed the Senate, Il few days
since, by 4 vote of 20 yeas to - nays,
provides for an underground railway
from the Bowling Green. passing
under Broadway to the City Hall
Park; thence diverging by two lines,
running on the East and West sides
OF the city, to Harlem River. It
also includes the right Of laying pneu-
matte tubes under the Hudson and
East Rivers, to connect the cities
OF Brooklyn and JERSEY CITY with
New York. 1t has been objected TO
the proposed underground RAILWAYS
authorized by the bill, that the con
structlon OF the tunnel lines will ma
terially obstrJct travel in the crowded
thoroughfares of the city. The pro-
lectors assure MS that this is not the
intention. Where the streets are
narrow, or crowded-ike the lower
part of Broadway-thc surface, thev
say, Will not be broken at all. The
material cXci,yated and used in the
construction OF the tunnel, will be re-
moved and brought in through
buildings temporarily acquired for
the purpose. Wherever the work is
going on, the surface Will be covered
by Il movable bridge or shield, even
or nearly level with the present sur
face OF the street, 50 that those who
pass over it on foot or in vehicles will
have bat little idea of The worh going
on beneath them. In neither case
will the street traveller be interrupted.
and traffic IN the stores will proceed
as usual. Neither will the gas pipes,
the water pipes, or the sewers be at
all interfcred with. The rights of
locomotion will in no way be impeded
thereby. The crossing of the rivers
will be done by sinking wrought iron
tubes, thirteen feet in diameter, in
lengths of from three TO five hundred
feet, joined at Golfer dams made by
iron cylinders, sunk vertically. The
interior Of the tubes Will be lined
with brick, and the whole will be be-
low the level of the bed of the river.
