PROOFS OF the SUPERIOR QUALITY;
OF THE
AMERICAN WATCH
H'v MADE AT
WALTHAM, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of walthsm,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
are cheaper, more acrurate, 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 from 125 to 800
pieces, while in an old English watch there IRE
more than 100 parts. How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, Is shown by the
following letter:

OFTIcE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
~. ALTOONA, Pa, 15 Dec, 1856.
Gentsmep The watches manufactured by You
have been in use on this railroad for several

in saving your watches give us loss 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 &C.
knowledged good reputation but as a class they
never kept time as correctly, nor have they done
as good service, as yours.
In these statements am sustained BY nv pre-

Sm:-I am in receipt Of your order Of
this date, directing the assignment Of Gener-
al @. h. Thomas to the comAsnd Of the
Fifth Military District, General Sheridan to
the Department of the Missouri and General
Hancock to the Department OF the Cumber-
land; also your note of this date enclosing
these instructions,) saying: Before you is-
sue instructions to carry into effect the en-
closed order would be pleased to hear any
suggestions you may deem necessary ne
speeding the assignments to which the order
refers"
am pleased to avail myself of this invi-
tation to urge earnestly urge-urge in the
name Of patriotic people who have sacri-
feed hundreds OF thousands of loyal lives
and thousands of millions of treasure to
preserve the integrity and union Of this coun-
try-that this order be not insisted on. It
is Enthusiastically the expressed wish of the
country that General Sheridan should not De
removed from his present command. This
is republic where the will Of the people Is
the law of the land. beg that their voice
may be heard.
General Sheridan has performed his civil
duties faithfully and intelligently. His re-
moval will only be regarded as an effort to
defeat the laws of Congress. It will be in
terpreted by the unreconstructed element in
the South-those who did all they could to
break up this government by arms, and now
wish to be the only element consulted as to
the method of restoring order-as tn
umph. 1t will embolden them to renewed
opposition to the will of the loyal masses,
believing that they have the Executive with
them. 5s
Theservices of General Thomas in battling
for the Union entitle him to some considera-
ton. He has recently entered his protest
against being assigned to either of the five
Military districts, and especially to being as
signed to relieve General Sheridan.
General Hancock ought not to be remov-
ed from where he is. His department is q
complicated one, which will take new
commander some time to become acquainted
with.
There are military reasons, pecuniary
reasons, and, above all, patriotic reasons
why this order should not be insisted on
beg to refer to letter, marked private
which wrote to the President when first
consulted on the subject Of the change il

subject of this removal, and I had hopet
would have prevented it. aF

reference to the cotton crop in Mississippi

likely to prevail, and be useless as field
hands, or for any other service.

insensible on the ground. Aaron re-
covered first, and walked away, assist

ried off by his friends. A physician
pronounced Collyer blind, and 1t is said
that Aaron has three or four OF his ribs
broken. Immediately after the rounds
the appearance Of the men was disgust

bleeding from their wounds from which
the seconds would Immediately COM
mence to draw the blood with their
mouths. Aaron's friends appeared the
most enthusiastic, and after some of the
rounds they would run up and caress
and kiss him. The brutality of the
scenes all through the fight is indescri
babIe. OF the two men, Collyer is
undoubtedly the heaviest fighter and
bravest man. There is no trickery
about him, and he fights in square
manner. or Aaron the opposite can
be said, although his conduct was in
accordance with the rules of the prize
ring, yet he failed to stand up like Col
lyeT, and to this he principally owes
his victory. He'is the better sparrer,
but Colleyer's bravery and heavy blows
offset this. Collyer has been taken to
Baltimore, and Aaron reached here to-
night.
