MADAME E. F. THoRNToN, the great English
Astrologist, Clarivoyant and Psychometrician,
who has astonished the scientific classes of the
Old World, has now located herself at Hudson,
N. Y. Madame Thornton possesses such won

to impart knowledge of the greatest importance
to the single or married of either sex. While in
state of trance she delineates the very features
of the person you are to marry, and by the aid
of an instrument of intense power, known as the
Psychomotrope, guarantees to produce life-like
picture of the future husband or wife of the ap-
plicant, together with date of marriage, position
in life, leading traits of character, &c. This is
no humbug, as thousands of testimonials can as
sert. She will send when desired certified GER

what it purports to be. By enclosing a small
lock of hair, and stating place of birth, age, dis
position and complexion, and enclosing fifty

A CARD FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY
WALTHAM, MASS.

THIS Company beg leave to inform the public
thatthey commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than a million dollars, and employs
over 700 operatives. They produce Is, 900 Watches
year. and make and sell not less than half of all
the watches sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly this European Watches
are made almost entirely by hand and the result
is of necessity lack of that uniformity, 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 the
watches of the higher grades European watches
are the product of the cheapest labor of Switzer-
land, and the result is the worthless Azores, Le-
pines and so-called Patent Levers-which soon
cost more in attempted repairs, than their orig
inal price. Common workmen, boys and women,
buy the rough separate parts OF these watches
from various factories, polish and put taem to-
gether, and take them to the nearest watch mer-
chant, who stamps and cngraves them With any
name or brand that may be ordered.
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American Waltham Watch is made by no
such uncertain process-and by no such incom-
petent workmen. All the Company's operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion of the Watch, are carried on under
one roof, and under one skillful and competent
objection. 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 a
hundred parts of every watch is made by ma
chine-that infalliblJ reproduces every succeed
ing part with the most unvarying accuracy. 1t
was only necessary to make one perfect watch of
any particular style and then to adjust the hun
dred machines necessary to reproduce every part
of that watch, and it follows that every succeeding
watch must be like it.
The Company respectfully submit their watches
on their merits only. They claim to make
A BETTER ARTICLEF Or THE MONEY
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the old-fashoned handicraft sys-
tenn. They manufacture watches of every grade
from good, low priced, and substantial article,
in solid silver hunting cases. to the finest chrome
meter; and also ladies' watches in plain gold or
the finest enameled and jeweled cases; but the
indispensable requisite of all their watches is that
they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. 1t should
be remembered that except their single lowest
grade named " Home Watch Company, Boston"
ALL WATCHES made by them
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
bya special certificate, and this warrantee is good
| at all times against the Company or its agents.

of Distemper, Worms, Bots, Coughs, Hide-bound,
Colds, &c in Horses; and Colds, Conghs, Loss
of Milk, Black Tongue, Horn Distemper, &C., in
Cattle These Powders were formerly put up by
Simpson /. Tobias, son of DR.. Tobias, and, since
his death, the demand has been great for them,
that Dr. Tobias has continued to manufacture
them. They are perfectly safe and innocent; no
need of stopping the work of your animals. They
increase the appetite, give fine coat, cleanse the
stomach and urinary organs; also increase the
milk of cows. Try them, and you will never be
without them. Hiram Woodruff, the celebrated
trainer of trottng horses has used them for years,
and recommends them to his friends Col. Philo.
P. Bush of the jerome Race Course, Fordham,
N. Y, would not use them until he was told of
what they are composed, since which he is never
without them He has over twenty running
horses in his CHARGE and for the last three years
has used no other medicine for them. He has
kindly permitted me to refer any one to him.

HEADQUARTERS SECOND MILITARY DISTRICT,
CHARLEsToH, s. c., April "a, 1857

HEADQUARTERS SECOND MILITARY DISTRICT,
CHLAlRRLEsros, s. c., April q, 1857.
In reply to letters received at these headqusr-
tiers, asking information as to the operation in
particular cases Of General Orders No. 10, current
series from these headquarters, am directed by
the commanding general to state that the provis-
ions of the order will be interpreted and enforced
by the courts. The order is to be deemed and
taken as an ordinance having the sanction and
authority of the United States for the regulation
Of certain civil affairs therein specified within so
much of the territory occupied by the military
forces of the United States, lately the theatre Of
war, as is embraced within the second military
district created by act of Congress. Ia
Although some of the former political relations
of the Inhabitants are in allegiance, their private
relations, their persons and property, and their
remedies for wrongs remain as heretofore within
the cognizance of the local tribunals and subject
to the laws of the provisional government hitherto
in force, except SO far such laws are in conflict
with the Constitution and laws OF the United
States, or with the regulations prescribed by the
commanding general.
Amongst the consequences necessarily incident
to the military authority established by Congress,
and Indispensable to the objects Tor which the
authority is established, is the appointment and
control of the civil agents by whom and measures
by which the government Gd interim is to be con-
Quoted. In the exercise of this authority, such
regulations and appointments will be amour
ced from time to time as may become neces-
sary; and so far as these regulations concern the
ordinary civil relations of the inhabitants, they
will be administered by the courts and by the
proper civil officers in the usual course of pro-
cedure.
Whilst it will not be convenient to respond to
particular inquiries made by citizens as to the
Interpretation and application of these regula-
lions, such interrogatories will be answered when
addressed to the general commanding by the ap-
pellate courts of law and equity.
