ble' better adapted for general use, and more
easily kept in order and repaired than any other

ture and therefore stronger and less likely to be
injured than the majority of foreign watches,
Which are composed of from I25 to 300 pieces,

Gentlemen: The watches manufactured nv Won
have been In use on this railroad for several wears
by our enginemen, to whom we furnish watches
as part OF our equipment. There are now some
three hundred of them carried on our line. and we
consider them good and reliable time -keepers
Indeed, have great satisfaction in saving vour
watches give US less trouble, and have worn and
do wear much longer without repairs than any
watches we have ever had in use on this road As
you are aware, we formerly trusted to those of
English manufacture, of acknowledged gaod repri-
t6tion but class they never keep time as cor
rectly, nor have they done good service as
yours
In these statements | am sustained by my pred
ecessor, Mr. Lewis whose experience extended ov
a series of years.
Respectfully,
EDWARD II. WILLIAMS,
general Superintendent
Amisrican Watch Co., Wattham.

most approved principle, and to possess every
requisite for reliable tine-keeper. Every dealer
selling these watches is provided with the Compa-

Last Sunday evening at shutdown COM
menced the Jewish New Year. All corre-
spondence and dated writing properly Jewish
will now be marked 562s. The old date
which twelve months use had made familiar
has passed away into the recoverable past
5627 will be written BY Jew no more forever.
II Is not becoming in Q metropolitan city
which numbers in its population perhaps
seventy thousand Jews. and in a country where
they number not less than million and o half,
that we should be Indifferent to the fe ,lings
and practices Of SO large portion Of our fellow
citizens during the first week of the New Year.
The beginning Of year is felt to be season
Of much importance by us Christians II is
not less o season Of importance to the Jews.
Their history Is long one. It is as checkered
as 1t is long. No people have suffered more.
No people have so completely triumphed over
suffering. To no people do we Christians
everywhere all over the world owe so much.
To no people are we so ungrateful and unkind.
It Is . peculiarly Of our American civilization
that the Jew takes bis place among us natu-
rally as one Of ourselves. Here we know
neither Jew nor Greek, barbarian nor Scythian,
bond nor free. Men Of every class, Of every
kindred, Of every country, Of every race, meet
here on terms Of perfect equality. That the
Jews have found out the advantages Of this
country IS compared with most parts Of the
Old World is evidenced by the large numbers
who annually flock to our shores. II IL .
growing fact Of our American experience that
there Is no more active, useful and enterprising
element in our population than the Jewish.
We wish them, though Il is somewhat late, .
happy and prosperous New Year. and many
returns of the same.

The Radical Epic and Roscoe Conkiins.
We find that we inadvertently did injustice
the other day to the Hon. Senator Conkling,
in regard to the way in which we printed the
magnificent verses he delivered before the
convention at Syracuse. We looked upon 1t
as sort Of niad. giving, in the heroic vein Of
the blind old man Of Solos rocky isle, an ac-
count Of the great war by which the radicals
destroyed the citadels Of Southern chivalry.
We were in error. The whole performance
was clearly in the vein Of Milton, and gives an
account Of new Paradise Lost, and expresses
the regrets Of the radicals at their enforced
absence from Eve and Eden. Our attention
has been called to this bya communication
through q well developed medium from the
spirit Of John Milton. Indeed, John has been
30 complainant as TO point out the ends Of the
lines through the whole speech, and thus to
show that, without any changes In the diction,
this splendid effort resolves itself into an epic
Of the highest order. We give this poem,
printed in its true and proper shape, on another
page.

fnture greatness of New York. This city Is
not only the centre Of commerce in this repub-
lie, but Is 50 also for the whole Of the American
Continent The time is coming when 1t will
be the commercial centre Of the world Every
day almost there is some new development,
something occurring in the way Of progress,
that indicates this mighty future. There is not
day that steamships are not going to or
arriving from different ports OF the world, and
new lines are being established in every direc-
ton. Look, for example, at the number be-
tween New York and the different ports of
Europe, at the splendid line lately established
to Brazil, which probably will shortly be made
weekly or semi-weekly line, at the other
steamships passing to and from the other ports
Of South America, the West Indies and Central
America, and at those on and across the Pacific.
All these connect either directly or indirectly
with New York The trade created or done
by them centres here. So 1t is also with the
wonderful network Of magnetic telegraphs
that are covering all the continents and run
ming under the great oceans. There Is no end
to the progress in this respect. Since the At
lantic cable was laid many others have been
put down or projected. 1t is but the other
day that Cuba was connected In this manner
with the Continent. In geographical point Of
view we are in the centre Of the world, and
everything is tending to make New York the
centre Of ideas, Of commerce and Of financial
power.

In yesterdays HERALD we published the
speech Of the King Of Holland on the occa-
sion of the opening of the Legislative Cham
bors in that city. Holland is small kingdom,
and comparatively Insignificant beside the
immense empires which now divide Europe
among them. Holland, however. has history,
and proud history; and considering the
sweeping changes which are now taking place
all over Europe it would be unkind not to
give her the attention and the consideration
to which she is so justly entitled. To US
the speech which the King delivered on
the 18th Of September is interesting chiefly
from the contrast which it presents to the burly
and full blown speeches to which, of late, we
have become accustomed from his imperial
brother of France and bis royal brother of
Prussia. The Luxembourg question, which
so lately threatened q European war, is
with grace and dignity dismissed in one short
sentence. He cannot afford to bully, and with
becoming wisdom he does not make the
attempt Holland lives and quietly prospers !;
and to many minds the fact will be full of i'm
portance that the ancient Batavian republic has
property which she can call her own beneath
almost every sun. Holland, in days Of dark
ness, was the home of the brave and the free.
Hundreds, thousands, millions on the American
Continent will echo the sentiment, long may
she continue to be 80.

From Brazil we have an account Of . new
scheme to pay OF the debts Of the empire.
Maria 4 Co., that banking firm which has
grown 80 fat out of the troubles on the east coast
Of America, have hit upon an idea which
has been adopted by the Financial Committee
Of Brasil This Is simply to apply the same
lottery system which almost every broken
down spanish-American government resorts to
when it can no longer bleed its people directly.
The enormous debt Of Brazil IL, however,
rapidly increasing; and 1t will probably reach
a much higher figure than at present, if the
Paraguay war be continued This war threat
ems TO bankrupt the whole OF Brazil and La
Plata valley. In effect it spreads its malign
influence far into the interior of South America,
and deadens the progress of Eastern Bolivia.
Brazilian finances can have but little hope for
q healthy future if the war goes on.
In tie midst Of the war it is, however,
pleasant to note some effort at the internal de-
velopment Of the country. Although her
resources are far less than those OF La Plata
valley, still they are capable of an immense
unrolling. Under wise laws and an energetic
administration the country might become
among the first on this Continent One
Of the progressive members of the Bra
lillian Chamber Of Deputies has proposed
several wise enactments referring to mar
riages, naturalization, the opening of ports
and emigration. 1t is Brazilian as well as
Spanish-American habit to make many laws
in favor Of progress. Generally there the
matter ends, Tor they imagine that the laws are
all that is required. They do not appreciate
the fact that some activity is necessary to
shape the progress of the country, and give it
such an impulse that q law is demanded occa-
sionally to decide those questions which en-
ergy brings TO the surface. A decree (num-
Der 3,89s) giving q contract for the nayi-
CATION Of some Of the branches of the
Amazon has been concluded with Bra
lillian. We hope now that this is only the be-
ginning Of the commerce upon the great
Mother Of Waters, and that the Brazilians will
avail themselves Of the advantages given to
them by this wonderful stream to open the
heart Of their empire. Had they applied half
the cost Of the Paraguay war to this object the
empire would have been twice Is powerful as
1t is to-day.
We have now fine line OF steamships rum
ming TO Brazil; but we want an increase Of
steamship and commercial trade with our South
American neighbor. Not only with her, but
with the great valley Of La Plata The whole
trade of the latter il being absorbed by the
French and English, who both have fine lines
Of steamships running in connection with their
lines to Rio Janeiro. We are now about laying
the whole Of South America under tribute to us
by telegrapAic lines. Let us, by active COM
mercial effort, prepare ourselves for all the adj
vantages which Geographic and geographical
position give us to turn the trade currents
Of Brazil and oil those countries towards New
York, where . little energy may make them
centre.

from the wreck. They reached Charleston
to-day, their names are DR.. J. Cass, Law
renee Sweeney, james Brady, Jno. Stemen,
and Angelo Garrifah, passengers, Charles

following members of the crew: N. Lloyd,
Patrick Harrigan. Thirty-one persons in
all from the Raleigh have arrived here,
and twenty-four are still missing, of whom
ten were certainly drowned. Hopes are
entertained that Capt. Marshman and
those who remained with him on the
steamer, when the. first boats left, have been
rescued by some passing vessel. Tugs from
Charleston were cruising yesterday at the
scene of the disaster, but without success
in finding any of the missing boats.

THANKS To HANCOCK.

The following is the resolution, not yet
acted upon, introduced in the House Of
Representatives by Mr. Boyer of Pennsyl-
vania, in accordance with the recommends
tion of the President:
Whereas, 1t has been officially an
nounced to Congress by the President of
the United States that an order was isyued
by Major General Winfield s. Hancock,
commander of the fifth military district,
dated headquarters in New Orleans Lou
isisna, on the 29th day of November ult.,
in which General Hancock announces that
he will make the law the rule of his con-
duct; that he will uphold the courts and
other civil authorities in the performance
of their proper duties that he will use his
military power only to preserve the peace
aud enforce the law; that the sacred right
Of trial by jury, and the privilege of the
writ of habeas corpus, shall not be crushed
out or trodden under foot, and that the
principles of American liberty are still the
inheritance of this people, and ever should
be; therefore,
Resolved (by the House of Representa-
tives of the United States, the Senate con-
curring,) That the thanks of Congress are
hereby rendered to General Hancock for
the patriotic example of duty he has set
and for his timely vindication of the SUI
premacy of the civil law as guaranteed by
the constitution in the United States"
