The American Watch Company, of Waltham,

cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more dura-

easily kept in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. They simpler in

Apprenticeship

Under this head Horace Greeley gives boys
the following advice:
They say that apprenticeship is distaste-
full to and out of fashion with the boys of
to-day if so, regret it for their sakes. To
the youth who asks How shall obtain an
educaie,l? would answer, Learn a trade
of good MASTER | hold firnh, that nlost
boys may thus better acquire the knowledge
they need than By spending four years in
college"
II is much better for a young man to de-
vote three or four years to le; rniilg song
respectable trade, which will support him nj
after life, than to waste his time and money
in preparing to enter the professions Of law
and medicine, lich are already overcrowd-
ed In the present state of the country .
trade is certainty, and the youth who
wishes to raise himself to Independence with
out hurdening his friends or relatives, will
certainly prefer good trade to the unproft-
able title of doctor or lawyer. There are
too many Of the practicing lawy ers and ply
siclans whose average incomes are not equal
to that of a skillful mechanic, aid many
whose emoluments will not pay current cx-
penses. Let no false pride defer our young
men from securing prize in the lottery Of
lie If they feel within them as-pirati, ns
for public life, still let them acquire trade;
for that our future legislators, in the State
and national councils, will be taken from the
working Glasses, is as certain as that the sun
will rise Tomorrow. Skill and energy will
command success in trade; the former is on
ly to be acquired ny constant practice uuder
a competent master. The latter will come
by the habit Of daily labor and the 'leternli-
nation to acquire wealth. and position Ivy a

From the Charleston Courier.
The Presidents View or the Elections.
WASHINGTON. Oct. II. 1867.

The President and his Cabinet, including
General Grant, fully rnaerstan and apprcci
ate the meaning Of the late elections. They
view the re ult as the want Of the great con-
sentative interests ofthe country, which de
mand peace, stability and justice untier a
constitutional Union. The elections were
gained by Conservative men, and not by
Democrats, as distinct party. These elec-
tons are only a prelude to "a general uprising
of Conservative young men throughout. the
North and West, the results Of which we
shall see in the November election. and more
decidedly still in the elccti n for Congress.
and for the Presidency in November of next
year.
The fact is, the country is in the hands Of
generation of young men who have sprung
up within the last six or seven years, and
the first thing they will do is to brush off the
old and effcte and prejnliced leaders Of the
Radical party everywhere. The old Demo
cratic chiefs Of the Buchanan school vii! fare
no better with them. They are not going
back to past times or to old dognas but will
take things as they find them in this their
own generation. The Presidentlas EXPIRE =
ed views of the situation in ii manner show
ing that he cmprehends it. 1t is not his
triumph, though he has contributed to it -
He says, however. that j, puts an end to the
impeachment project, and will give him an
opportunity, peacefully and with less ohstruc-
ton than was expected, to sustain, the Execu-
tive Department with its constitutional rights,
in opposition to the factious and dcspotic ac-
ton Of Congress.
The Conservative Republicans. and espe-
cially the old Clay and Webster Wings, are
gratificd by the result and will evidently
support the onward movement Many held
back from tie polls at the late elections be-
cause they would not act with their old OPP
ponents. the Democrats. They will have no
scrupl,: hereafter on that move.
The President will not, IN readiusting his
Cabinet. compose i of Democratic partisans.
lie wiu tohe Cons rrotire men. He has
stated this in unlnistakcable terms. At the
same time lie will seek men of nerve and
holiness, as well as integrity and ability. -
He ought take men representing the pres
ent situation, and probably he will do it.

This estimate probably applies to cases
where the ore and timber belong TO the own
er of the furnace. If the ore and coal were
purchased, as in the case of the stonecaal
furnaces, the cost of the materials would be
much greater. The capital invested in the
charcoal furnaces is much greater than in
stonecoal furnaces.
Timber land which will yield forty cords
per acre sells at twenty dollars per acre !;
wood standing, worth fifty cents per cord !;
common laborers receive 81 rs to 81 so per
dy. 1t appears from the above statements
that the cost of making pig iron in the West
is not less than thirty dollars per ton, whilst
on the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road the cost will not be much more than
fifteen dollars per ton
Notwithstanding the high prices Of labor
and materials, the manufacture of iron has
been extremely profitable in the West
The supply of coal suitable for the manu-
facture of pig iron in the Ohio Valley is ex-
sremely limited Thus far only about three
