PROOFS OF THE SUPERIOR QUALITY
OF THE
AMERICAN w ATCH
MADE AT
WALTHAM, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of Waltham,
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 125 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 arnactured by you
have been in use on this railruad for several
years 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-keeper. Indeed, 1 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 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 H. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent.
American Watch Co., Walthan.
We make now five different grades of watches,
named respectively as follows:
Appleton, Tracy & Co., Waltham, Mass.
WaItham Watch Co., Waltham, Mass.
p. s. Bartlett, Waltham, Mass.
VIM. Ellery, 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 a reliable time-keeper. Every deal
er selling these Watches is provided with the
Companys 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.

CHARLESTON, 8. c., May 20, 1867.

GENERAL ORDERS,
1t appears from sundry petitions and official
representations that the present scanty supply Of
food in the Carolinas is seriously diminished by
the large quantity OF grain consumed in numerous
distleries, put up and worked in defiance OF the
revenue laws of the United States 1t is represen-
ted that few none of the requirements of law
observed in any Of these establishments that
the officers of the internal revenue service while
endeavOriDg to assess and collect the whiskcy tax
are frequently treated with disrespect and some
times menaced with violence; and that when
offenders are prosecuted in the civil courts and
violations of the internal revenue laws indisputa-
bly, proved juries fail to convict the parties it is
further shown that this unlawful traffic makes
food dearer in places where large numbers arc de-
pending upon public and private bounty; that
the Government is, besides, defrauded of large
amount of revenue that the authority of its civil
officers is brought into contempt; and further
more, that the mischief complained of tends to
increase poverty, disorder and crime; therefore,
in the exercise of the authority vested in the
Commanding General it is ordered that,
l. The distillation or manufacture of whiskey
or other spirits from grain is prohibited in this
Military District. Any person so engaged or en-
ployed will be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
The possession of still or other apparatus for
this purpose will be considered presumptIve evil
dence of a violation of the revenue laws, and the
party or parties using the same, or on whose
premises, or in whose possession the same may be
found will be arrested and brought to trial before
military tribunal composed of the Commanding
officer OF the POSt ana TWO Objects Ol Inc uInly
next in rank on duty within the territorial limits
of the Post. If the exigencies Of the service do
not permit the detail of other officers, that fact
will be duly certified and the Post Commander
will hear and determine the case.
II. The penalties, punishments and forfeituree
prescribed by the several acts of Congress for dis
filling or manufacturing whiskey or other spirits
in violation of the revenue laws, will be imposed
and executed by the military tribunals hereby au-
thorized.
III. No sentence extending to imprisonment,
forfeiture of stills, liquor or other property, or
the imposition of fine other penalty viii be
carried into effect until reported to these Head
quarters and approved by the Commanding Cen
eral.
". All troops of the United States, Magis-
trates Sheriffs, Constables, Police and others in
authority are required, and all citizens are sois-
giving information of the violation of these OK
ders. Commanding officers viii be held respoa-
sible for their enforcement.

also stating that in his Judgment this extension
is necessary to full and fair registration, and that
the time should be thus extended because other
district commanders will not get through before
that time
Nv reasons for closing registration in this city
were because had given the city two and half
months, and there were no more to register.
have given the State two and half months and
registration will be exhausted by that time. L
did not feel warranted in keeping up boards of
registration at large expense to suit new issues
coming in at the eleventh hour. The registration
will be completed in Louisiana at the time speci-
fled, unless am ordered TO carry oUt the law
under Mr.. Stanberys Interpretation, which practi-
cally in registration is opening broad nacada-
miZed road for perjury and fraud to travel on.
1 do not see why my registration should be de-
pendent On the time when other district com
inanders get through. I have given more time for
the registration of Louisiana than they propose
to give in their commands, foEl commenced six
weeks before they did. 1 regret that 1 should
have to differ with the President, bat it must be
recollected that have been ordered to execute a
law to which the President has been in bitter
antagonisn.
If after this report the time is to be extended,
please notify and it will be done. 1 would do it
at once, but the Presidents telegram con-
