WALTHAM
w A Z G. III E. s.

The true value of Msci inery applied to Watch
making is not that by its use Watches are made
rapidly, but that they are ma de correctly. Very
fe people know why W altman Watch should be
superior to any other. Iu the first place, at Walt
ham the Watch is regarded as only machine, to
be constructed like any other machine, on mechan-
ical principles. If the Watches good it is be-
cause the machinery is good. OF course there
must be defect in the princi pie or plan of the
movement-no mistake in the sizes or shapes of
the pieces of which it is composed-notbingw want
ing in their properties. and in their posi-
tions. These points once thoroughly settled,
rests wholly with the machinery. constructed with
infinite diversity of form and function expressly
for the purpose. to produce the finished pieces. By
means of multiplying guages and microscopes. tests
and inspection for the detection of in the cut
ting TOOLS and for faults and flaws in steel stone
made to accompany the work in every stage
from beginning to end. As q necessary result, the
Watch goes together a perfect machine. Every
part is found to fit properly in its place. Every
pin may be pushed till it pinches, and every screw
turned home. Instead of q sluggish and feeble ac-
tion. the balance, even under the pressure of the
lightest mainspring vibrates with wide an free
motion. and the beat has the clear ringing sound
always characteristic of the W Waltham Watch. Tho
| machine is tim ekeeper from the start.
| This system of watch making is unknown in for
eign countries, and is entirely original with the
Waltham Com any. The Company clsim that by
it they produce Watches that cannot be equal ed
| for every quality which makes Watch valuable.
Simple in plan and correct in principle. the move
ment is not only beautifully finished, substantial,
accurate and cheap, but is uniform in the miuuest
details, not easily damaged and when repaired al
ways as good as new. There different grades
of finish in the different variei of W atches made
by the Waltham Company, as there are different
sizes and shapes to suit all tastes and means; but
every Watch that besrs the genuine trademark Of
WALTHAM" is guaranteed to be good one, and
| nobody need be afraid to buy it.

MEssRs. EDITORS The Wilmington Dis
patch in commenting Oh the marriage of Mr..
A. G. Thornton, white, to Miss Elcy Black
man, colored, says they were married by
negro preacher, in direct violation of the
laws of North Carolina, but as we learn by
an order from Gen. Sickles." In this the
writer fails to do the General justice. The
Dispatch intimates that the General acted
without the authority of law, than which
there could be no grosser misrepresentation.
This will be seen from the language of the
Order, which is as follows: The command
ing officer is of the opinion that under the
Civil Rights bill, intermarriages are legal, and
Rev. Mr.. Hood is authorized to solemnize the
marriage, notwithstanding the objection of
the County officers" Thus it will be seen
that the General does not act above, or with
out the authority of law, but in strict con-
formity with the law which nullifes all laws
that makes distinction on account of color,
even in States which are recognized as hay
ing legal governments. Underthis law General
Sickles has acted in this matter and by it all
parties will have to be governed. Men speak
would be Jchnsonized State of North-Caro-
lima, as though they expected an American
citizen to hold it in reverence
And poor, silly lawyer must get out q
warrant to arrest minister of the gospel for
solemnizing marriage by license granted in
accordance with the supreme law of the
land And we are told that a grand jury
will be found who will be silly enough to
find bill of indictment
1t is sad comment ON the religion of this
community that white men who have coored
women filling all the functions of wives, can
be tolerated in the best society and as men,
bers of the church, and yet when a man hon
estly (and in accordance with law. both hu-
man and divine) asks and obtains the hand
of a lady in holy wedlock, the whole town
is thrown into state of confusion, journal
lists have no language to express their indig-
nation. OH shame, where is thy blush
Messrs. Editors, you are aware that am
no advocate for amalgamation I have al
ways taken the opposite side of the ques-
ton. But if white men will have colored
wives think they ought to be legally mar
ried, especially when they are candidates for
membership, or actual members of our
churches. Others can enjoy their lust. I
but speak the sentiment of my church when
l say, that prefer loyal amalgamation to
concubinal amalgamation. In my three
years pastoral relation to the African Meth
odist Church in Newhern, nothing gave
me more trouble than this. The parties
averred that they would marry, but the
law forbadeit, and on that ground they ought
to be excused. If we had tolerated fornica-
ton where one of the parties was white we
must have done so in all cases or been charg-
ed with Partially.
To their credit be it said, and I am happy
to be able to say that there are many of our
best citizens who take this common sense
view. Of two evils, they prefer the least.

Gen. Sickle,S Letter.

Gen. Sickles has written letter to Mr.
Senator Trumbull, in which, among other
things, he says:
CHOW it seems to me that that the true
conservative guarantee against reaction is in
the addition made to the loyal vote by the
REIMBURSEMENT of the colored people. That
being done, the occasion for the Guallfica-
ton clause ceases. Hence the true solution,
| believe, is to declare with universal suf-
frage general amnesty, naming the eXcep-
tiOns. A more liberal amnesty is, in my
judgment, essential to the success of the
congressional plan of reconstruction. 1t
will enlarge the range of popular choice for
the important judicial, legislative and exc
cutive departments of the State governments
otherwise inconveniently confined to classes,
very few of whom are fit to hold Office The
people can surely be entrusted to Judge and
select from those who took part in the re-
bellion the men at once qualified and sincere
in their adhesion to the new order of things.
Such men, being eligible to Office, will have
motives to identify themselves with recon-
struction, and to support the views of the
majority"
1t would be we'll if the Congress, during
the progress of reconstruction, would relieve
a few persons from the disability imposed
by the Howard amendment. This should be
done, however, with great care and caution.
Every rebel State has now, we believe, a Re
publican State Committee. The Congress
might safely relieve such persons as can Sc
cure the unqualified endorsement of two
thirds of such Committee, but beyond this it
is not advisable to go at present.
We do not agree with Gen. Sickles, that
very few of the enfranchised classes in this
State are " fit to hold Office" This State,
at least, can be reconstructed without
the aid of any who are excluded by the Sher-
man act 1t may be different in South Car
DINA, but it is our opinion that there are
many loyal men, especially in the Western
part of that State, not excluded, who are
" fit to hold Office" 1t may be that Gen.
Sickles knows but little of the true I'm
ion men of his district. We have not heard
that he has shown any disposition to know
them, so far as North Carolina is concerned
universal suffrage and universal amnes-
ty" would result in the substanti.. re-estab-
lishment of the Southern Confederacy. This
would make the South Hayti. The domi-
nant rebel power would Cypress and scourge
the white Unionists and the colored people
until they would rise, as the worm will when
trodden on, and sting their oppressors. We
should thus have war and ruin, ruin, world
without end. The loyalists of the South
can not protect themselves or preserve liber-
ty, if the great mass of the late rebel leaders
are permitted at once to vote and hold Office.
AS might have been expected, the rebel
press is much pleased with Gen. Slckles'
letter.

tions of the locality referred to, but there are

The Republicans of this State are law

But this is their State. They intend to re-

prevent them from assembling together

AN HONEST COLORED MAN,

On Tuesday morning of the 18th inst,
either by accident or carelessness, I left my
pocket book in Mr. S. d. Harrison's store
open on the counter, and containing over one
hundred dollars. Missing it late in the af-
ternoon of the same day, I fastened to Mr..
H. IS store where traded last, and on inqui-
ry, learned from him that John Sledge-a
man of color, found and might have kept it
without his knowledge Through some con-
straining power or influence, however known
only to God and himself, he did not conceal
but handed it to Mr.. H., in whose care
found it, telling him to take possession OF it,
that the owner may call for it, &C.
I commend such spirit, and hope that
the rest will follow the example, for by so
doing, they will not only merit esteem, but
show themselves worthy of our patronage.

Sunday for Havana, where they propose to
organize movement against the Jaurez par

few days be again on Mexican soil, allied with
powerful party, and under the lead of
powerful chiettain. Steps were taken in

is believed is already nearly completed for

The Reported Shooting of Santa Anna


Senior Romern, the Mexican Minister,
has received an official letter from the
Governor of the State of Yucatan, dated at
Marida, on the 21st, stating that General
Santa Anna was arrested at Sisal ON the 18th
and sent the next day to Campeachy, to be
kept in prison there until President Juarez
should dispose of him.
The Governor of Campeachy, in an official
letter dated June 10, states that General San
ia Anna had arrived there, and that he
would be kept in prison accordingly. There
is, therefore, no probability that he has been
tried from the 18th to the 25th, and much
less that he would have been shot Wash.
Erpress.
We hope this report may turn out to be
true. The execution of this ilustrious old
man would be an ineffaceble blot in the his
tory of Mexico, after what he has dared and
done for her.
