AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT Va
WALTHAM, MASS.

The American Watch Company, Of Waltham,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
IRE cheaper, more accurate less complex, moro
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 arc
more than 700 parts. How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, is shown by tho
following letter:

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 arc aware, We formerly
trusted in those Of English manufacture, of &c.
knowledged good reputation; but as class they
never kept time as correctly, nor have they dols
as good service, as yours.

Southern Generals to follow Longstreet's
Example.
The New Orleans Republican, in announc-

that (" other prominent generals who served
in the Confederate army are about to guar

arms and acknowledging the Confederacy
and irretrievahly lost cause by following
the footsteps of Gen. Longstreet, and com

Ny Dear Sir.-f it were possible for me to
consult my personal wishes l would be with you
at Raleigh on the 4th proximo A session of
Congress is called for the 3rd of July, and feel
it to be my duty to aid, far possible, in max
ing aquorum for business. Never has it been
more important to secure session OF Congress
1t is now plain that the work of reconstruction
cannot go on under the lead of Mr.. johnson.
Congress must again and constantly assert its
power, or the South will be given up once more to
the domination of those who ruled during the
war; and after the war; previous to the legislation
of last March. fsr
The opinions of the Attorney General have
robbed the legislation of Congress of all its be-
ngn and healing qualities.
1t is due to the South and the North that such
perversity in law and morals should be controlled
BY the Legislative Department of the Govern
ment. Very respectfully,
GEO. S. BOUTWELL,.

There has been much more enthusiasm
and activity amcng Republicans than with
their opponents, and the proportions of
those to be registered will be greatly chang
ed, though do not believe the majority
now secured will be much reduced.

DRowNED.-We regret to learn that two
colored boys were drowned on Sunday morn
ing last, in the Rock Quarry, near this city.
They ventured into the deep water, and it is
supposed that one of them was drowned in
the effort to save the other. When taken
from the bottom they were both dead.
There is large quantity If water in the
Quarry that ought to be let out. 1t may
occasion sickness in that part Of the town.

The Sentinel that is, our copy of the Sen
tinel-says that the Resolutions adopted by
the Republican mass meeting in Raleigh on
the fourth instant, were not distinctly heard
by more than five hundred of the crowd, and
that 81 not more than one hundred of them
were capable Of approaching the character
and designs of the resolutions" The colored
people are very intelligent as long as there is
hope that they will vote with the Demo-
Gratis or secessionists, but as soon as it is as
certained that they will not, they are told
that not more than one in every five of them
can understand the English language. The
character" of the Resolutions was patriotic,
and the chief design was to urge Congress
to abolish the existing State government
The colored people understand that. This
State government is not only depressing
them with heavy taxes, in many cases re-
quiring their employers to give them in to
be taxed, as in the days of slavery,
put it is preventing that which the col
ored people so much desire, to wit, recon
struction. The colored people have sense
enough to understand that. They have
enough sense, too, to know who their friends
are, and to steer clear of their enemies.

Excessive and bitter party spirit has been
the bane of all Republics. Partizans de-
luded by passion look at every thing through
jaundiced, vicious medium. Some. of
them spare neither enfeeb!ed age nor the
dead in their graves The Sentinel calls Mr..
Stevens "a bad old man" as he is described
by the Heralds correspondent "feeble and
tottering, apparently in the last stage of de-
bility" Mr. Stevens has served his country
forty years, and is regarded with respect and
reverence by large body of his countrymen.
Such attacks are not only unjust and wicked
in themselves, but they serve to rouse the
North and bring upon the South those very
punishments which the Sentinel seems so
much to fear

The illusions made by the Sentinel and
Progress to the falling of the platform at the
celebration in this City on the fourth, are
fippant, not to say hcartless It is surpriE
ing that none Of those un the platform were
hurt. Two persons, who were under it, were
injured, but we are glad to say not seriously.
We are as determined and jealous as any in
our political opinions, but we can truly say
that we could not hear with pleasure Of any
injury to the mind, body or estate of any
living human being. We do not war on
men, but on their principles The journals
referred to should bear in mind that state
of feeling which would be gratifed at per-
sonal calamity or injury to political oppo-
nent, argues spirit in the community which
I is only restrained by fear Of consequences
from kindling the fires of civil war. Such
illusions may please certain class of read
ers, but the applause of such, especially when
won by supposed violation of the proprie-
ties and charities of civilized life, should be
rejected and despised. 81

Dear Sir:-Nothing would give me greater
pleasure than to accept your kind invitation to
meet my fellow-citizens of Raleigh in their cele-
bration of the anniversary of our nations birth.
Imperative public duties forbid
Nothing can more awaken patriotic memories
or strengthen the attachment of every true Amer
lean to the Union than the reyerent but joyful
observance OF that day.
Now that the waves of war have rolled by, it is
an earnest OF returning love to the Govern
ment in those who have faltered in the past, and
renewal of the hottest VOWS of those who have
never changed in their devotion, to unite in such
celebration
Let us, then, all unite on that day in reviying
the glorious memories OF our fathers; in burying
all that has separated us in the past and, as one
people, give heart and hand in carrying forward
our beloved land in her glorious path of civilian
ton, education and liberty under the law.

This body assembled on the Sd of July,
pursuant to adjournment Thirty-tour Sem
ators and one hundred aud twenty Represen
tatives were in attendance
Several bills were at once introduced pro-
viding for carrying out in good faith the
Sherman act. They all look to the ADOLF
ton of the existing State governments as in
dispensable to reconstruction. S
In the House, on the Sd, on motion of
Gen. Logan, seven of the eight members
from Kentucky were excluded from seats,
and their credentials referred to the commit
tee on elections on the ground that they
had been elected by the rebel element
through intimidation and corruption in the
elections. It does not follow, therefore, that
every man who can take the test-oath can
obtain seat in Congress. The member
elect must not only be acceptable, but the
element which elects him must not be rebel
lious.
This session of Congress is an exceedingly
important one, and we shall endeavor t.
keep our readers well posted in what is done

was unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That we cordially endorse the North

nent of Republican principles.
The following letters were received and
ordered to be published:

DeIr Sir :-On the day of your proposed meet
| ing Congress will be in session to consider how
best to counterfeit the nisehievous conduct of the
4 President No patriot can afford to be absent.
| We must all be there.
Thus does the misfeasance of one man arrest
| for moment, the work of reconstruction, and
interfere with our personal desires. Senators and
Representatives must leave their homes or turn
away from opportunities of activity elsewhere, in
order to provide protection against the President
the marplot end author of evil.
| am sure, in ADVANCE, of your sympathy in oul
work. You will pardon me, therefore, If foregC
the opportunity with which you honor me. Yor
in North Carolina and vein Washington can hav.
but one object before us, which is to establish
