A Trim to High Point and Greensboro

A Trru to High Point and Greensboro
Leaving Raleigh on Sunday night, the
train reached High Point at two IN the morn
ing, Monday, where we turned In LOT a nap
until day light. Ill,
During The run there was one thing only
70 he remarked, the scarcity OF passengers
from Raleigh to Greensboro, at which point
the Richmond connection brought in not
few. Evidently of travellers, Southwark
bound. a goodly number prefer this new IN
land route
After breakfast, we met many friends at
HIGH Point, among them 81. Adams, Esq,
former Senator from Davidson, in line feather
and high spirits, George Riley, Esq, Col. ~.
F. Henderson, DR.. j. L. johnson, and Col.
Sherman of Wilmington.
Shortly afterwards about one hundred and
fifty representatives from different parts OF
the State were assembled, composing the
bone and sinew of the country. we hearo
from all of them and there was but one sen.
timent politically-THE UNION. Ana all
were in favor of immediate reorganization.
The last bill introduced by Mr.. Stevens met
with the warmest approval.
We also saw petition to Congress IN cir
culation, having the signatures OF hundreds
of Union men; and were assured that many
Others were being signed and forwarded.
High Point is thriving little village, with
two good hotels, and several substantial
store buildings.
Next day was spent in Greensboro. There
we met Mr.. Tourgee, Editor of the Register,
who seems determined to drive his Union
team straight through. The Register is very
popular with the Unionists, and will WELD
strong influence in the Western portion OF
this State.
Greensboro will ere long be large City.
1t has much room for improvement; and we
feel sure that in short while many changes
for the better will be consummated.
Gen. o. O. Howard passed through Green's
boro' from the South for Washington at
noon; and we had the pleasure of seeing
Gems. Avera and Bomford during the same
day, looking after the interests OF the gov
eminent in that section of the State.
At 10 o'clock at night we took the east
ward-going train, and landed in the City of
Oaks early in the morning.
The snow was everywhere, and the wheat
crop invisible, but we understood neyerthe-
less that the farming prospects were very
good.
Altogether the time was probably spent.
More hereafter concerning our business, per
haps. J.

MEssRs EDITORS Il have just perused ar ar
ticle in your worthy paper, speaking OF the poor
widow sitting beside a &c cheerless hearth" Yes,
there is many poor widow whose hearth is made
lone and cherries To this fact can testify, be-
ing one of the unfortunate number, whose hus-
band was forced into the war, alas, to return no
more Can you bid us hope, or is ours hope
less case? Here are our little fatheress ones left
to eat the bread of charity, growing up in igno-
rance. Oh secessionist! what hast thou done
Would that could speak to thee in thunder
tones! Hadst thy heart been anything but ada
mant, and minds anything but insane, our nus
bands would not have been torn away from
their happy homes, from weeping wife and chill
dren Heart-rending, it's to realize the sad re-
suits of the late rebellion. Behold our children
growing up with minds uncultivated! and as we
dare not ask, nor expect any thing at the hands
ola secessionist, we beseech You to ask the peo-
ple through the columns of your worthy paper,
if the widows of those who were forced away do
not justly claim their sympathy and assistance
Pardon my intrusion, and should you deem this
worthy of notice, speak word in behalf of the
unfortunate.
Respectfully yours,

REASON WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Made at KALTHAA, MAsSA CHUSETTs,

Made at WALTHAA, MASSA CHUSETTS
Is THE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle. Its frame is
composed Of SOLID PLATES. Nor jar can in
terfere with the harmony of Its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Itself
famous for its novelty as well as for its effective
ness) and is therefore properly made. The watch
is what all mechanism should INACCURATE,
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Ex-
cept some high grades, too costly for general use,
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and
boys. Such watches are composed of several
hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together,
aRdrequire constant repairs to keep them in any
kim of order. All persons who have carried
"ancres" "lepines" and English Patent Le-
vers," are perfectly well aware of the truth of
this statement
At the beginning of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, it vas our first object to make
thoroughly goo6 low priced watch for the mill
ion, to take the place os these foreign imposi
tions the refuse of foreign factories, which were
entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly worth
less elsewhere.
low well we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that SO many years of
public Trial, we now make MORE THAN HALF
OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES, and that no others have ever
given such universal satisfaction. While this de-
partment Of our business is continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work, We arc at pre-
sent engaged in the manufacture of watches of
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CHRONOMETRY, unequaled by anything hither-
to made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by any
thing made in the world. For this purpose we
have the amplest facilities We have erected an
addition to our main building expressly for this
branch of our business and have filed it with the
best workmen in our service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed which per-
form their work with consummate delicacy and
exactness. Tho choicest and most approved ma
terials only are used, and we challenge compari-
son between this grade of our work and the finest
imported chronometers. We do not pretend to
sell our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign
watches, but we do assert without fear of contra
diceion that for the SAME MONEY our product is
incomparably superior. All our watches, of what
ever grade, are fully warranted, and this warran-
tee is good at all times against us or our agents
in all parts Of the world.
+ CAUTION.-The public are cautioned to buy
only of responsible dealers. All persons selling
counterfeits will be prosecuted

REGULATORS OUT IN FORGIVE have
late information from Greene and some por-
lions of Pitt Counties, which indicate most
alarming state of affairs in those sections.
Large numbers of desperadoes have orga-
nized themselves into regular companies,
and keep the whole country in state of up
roar and confusion. Several attempts have
been made by the Militia to put an end to
their depredations, which has always result
ed in the defeat of the latter, until now a
perfect impunity seems to attend all their
outrages.
Our informant states that certain loss of
property awaits every one, who ventures in
that locality.
Powerless ourselves to repress these acts
OF plumber. rapine and murder, we are fain to
cali upon the Federal Authorities to do so
for us.-Tarboro' Southsrner.
TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME.-Our
readers will recollect, that some days since,
it was announced that gross and brutal
outrage had been perpetrated upon the per-
son of Mrs. r. X Miller, of Greene county,
and that the ruf1ians, one white, and five ne
groes, had been arrested, and confined in the
county Jail.
Last Tuesday night an armed band OF
men visited the Jail, arrested the jailor, took
the keys from him, removed theSprisoncrs
and inflicted upon them punishment which
the brutal crime charged upon them richly
deserved, although the mode of punishment
cannot be approved by law abiding peo-
pie Lynch law cannot obtain the sanction
of the good citizen though he may believe
the criminal richly deserved the punish
ment
1t is thought. one or more of the perpetra-
tors of the outrage upon Mrs. Miller is Turk
ing about the country. We are authorized
by Mr. Miller to say that he will pay 81, 900
for the apprehension of any one of them,
with proof sufficient to convict-Neo6ern

Monday night short distance from Colds

to identify them could be obtained.

MEssRs. EDITORS Thinking it not out of
freedmen drop few lines in reference to the
freedmen's school of Waughtown. The freedmen
of this village and vicinity deserve praise for their
efforts in raising and supporting school, as it is,
believe, the first and only freedmen's school in
Forsythe county. They, l learn, applied to the
Benevolent Societ! for assistance, but failed.
Not discouraged, however, they organized a
school within themselves for few months. This
school is taught by Mr.. W. G. Kerner, good
loyal man of high character. This school is pro-
crossing finely, and the pupils are fast improving
The teacher is native son of N. C. He favors
colored suffrage, and thinks it the best for the
South. He also fayors the Stevens bill, and
wishes it to pass without delay.

A REMNIscESCE OF ONE OF THE GIANTS,
In celebrated cause on which Gen. Tay-
lor and Gov, L. W. Tazewell were the op-
posing counsel, the General had made one
OF his most powerful speeches, to which Mr..
Tazewell replied with his usual transcendent
ability, and though it was not very common
with him to indulge in rhetorical. flights, he
ended his speech with the following antithe-
sis, one oft the most splendid which we have
ever met with in ancient or modern litera,
ture:
Fraud is like the mole, which burrows in
the earth, seeking concealment but Truth
is like the eagle, which, perched upon the
mountain crag, rufaes his plumage in the
evening breeze, inviting observation"
