Republican State Convention.

Let the Republicans of the State
bear in mind that State Convention
will be held in Raleigh, on Wednes-
day, September 4th.
We trust meetings will be held in
every County, and every neighbor-
hood in the State represented. Let
us give such an impetus to the work
of reconstruction as to render the re-

WAsHINeroN Cry, Aug. 4, 1867.


Marshal Goodloe, of the district of North
Carolina, has reported to the Attorney Cen
eral that the process of the United States
Circuit Court, lately held by Chief Justice
Chase, is INSTRUCTED by order of 1t. Col.
Frank, commanding Post of Wilmington.
The ground is expressly mentioned in the
order to be that, in each of the cases OBJ
structed, the cause of the action adjudicated
upon by Judge Chase occurred between the
10Th of December 1860. and the 10th of
May, 1S65-Gen. Sickles, in order No. 10,
having forbidden Judges to entertain any
suits for matters accruing between those
dates.
The Marshal supposes that Gen. Sickles
did not mean to include the Courts of the
United States. ,c
Col. Frank interprets the order different
ly. Marshal Goodloe has suspended action
until he hears from Gen. Sickles or receives
instructions from Washington, being anx-
ious to avoid any collision.
This matter is regarded as a very grave
event, although the impression prevails that
the Commander at Wilmington has acted
without the knowledge of Gen. Sickles, who
is confidently expected to disapprove his ac-
ton Goodloe's course has been approved
at the Attorney Generals Office, but no step
will be taken until the time has passed for a
report from the Commanding General.

The Providence R.I) Journal lifts
warning voice against immoderate muscular
exercise, of which there is some danger in
the present passion for base bal, rowing, &c.
That these pastimes may be followed to an
injurious excess, it says, is shown by facts
developed in connection with the recent
death of student of Brown University, MIR.
Lemuel Grosvenor Perry. A post mortem
examination of his remains showed that the
death was caused by an abscess resulting
from Inflammation of the psoas muscles,
brought on by excessive exercise at the time
of the University match game of base ball,
between the students of Harvard and Brown
some two weeks since, in which he engaged
with great ardor He had been remark
ably healthy and vigorous young man; but
after the day when he engaged in this
game, be left the house no more.

The trade of Russian America in 1855
amounted to 81, 100000 in skins and furs.
While Russia possessed the territory whalers
were not allowed to land on the coast for
business purposes, but this restriction is now
removed. As an evidence of the prosperity
to result from the acquisition of the territory
by the United States, it may be stated that
a fur company, with capital of 100000
to operate in the new territory, has been Or
ganized in San Francisco. The character of
this company is said to be in the hands of
some of the principal business men of the
Pacific slope.

PROOFS OF THE SUPERIOR QUAllTYs
OF THE
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT
WALTHAM, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of Waltiiam,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
are cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more
durable, 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 therefore stronger, and less
likely to be injured than the majority of foreign
watches, which are composed of from lbs TO 800
pieces, while in an old English watch there are
more than 700 parts How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, is shown by the
following letter:
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY.
OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
ALTOONA, Pa, Is Dec, 1866.
Gentlemen The watches manufactured by you
have been in use on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches as part of our equipment There are
now some three hundred of tn I'M carried on our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
time keeper. Indeed, have great satisfaction
in saving your watches give us 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 in those Of English manufacture, of ac-
knowledged good reputation; but as a class they
never kept time as correctly, nor have they done
as good service, as yours.
In these statements am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr. Lewis, whose experience extended
over series of years,
Respectfully,
EDWARD n. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent.
American Watch Co., Walthan.
We make now five different grades of watches,
named respectively as follows:
Appleton, Tracy & Co., Waltham, Mass.
Waltham Watch Co., Waltham, Mass.
p. s. Bartlett, Waltham, Mass.
VIM. ElIery, Boston, Mass.
Home Watch Co.. Boston, Mass.
All of these, with the exception Of the Home
Watch Company, are warranted by the American
Watch Company to be the best material, on the
most approval principle, and to possess every
requisite for reliable time keeper. Every deal
er selling these Watches is provided with the
3 Company's printed card of guarantee, which
should accompany each watch sold, so that buy
ers may feel sure that they are purchasing the
genuine article There are numerous counter
feits and limitations of our Watches sold through
out the country, and we would caution purcha-
sers to be on their guard against imposition.
Any grades of Waltham Watches may be pur-
chased of Watch Dealers throughout the country.
