A CARD FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH CON PANY,
WALTHAM, MASS.

-
This Company beg leave to inform the
public that they commenced operat. ons in
1850, and their factory n1w covers four
acres of ground, and has cost more than a
million dollars.and employs over 700 oper.
tires. They produce $4,000 Watches a
year, and make and sell not less than one
half Of all the watches sold in the United
States.
The difference between their manufacture
and the European, is briAy this. European
Watches are made almost entirely by hand,
and the results Of necessity q lack Of that
uniformity, which is indi ensi bic to cor
rect time. keeping. Both the eye and hand
ofthe most skillful hand must vary. But IL
is q fact that, except watches of The higher
grad a. RuroFs~av wetehes uro the prvduot
Of the cheapest labor of witzerland, and
the result is the worthless Ancres, Lepines
and so called Patent Leyers-yhi, h soon
cost more in attempted repairs, than their
original price. Common workmen, boys
women, buy the rough seperate parts Of
these watc he's from va rious ia etc ries, polish
and put them together, and take them to the
nearest wa.ch merchant, who stamps and
engraves them with any name or brand that
may be ordered.
Hoo Americdn Watches are Made.
Tho American Waltham Watch is made BY
no such process-and no su oh incompe tent
workmen. All the Company's operations,
from the reception Of the raw materials TO
the completion of the Watch, are carried on
under one roof, aud under one skillful and
competent direc ion. But the great distin.
gushing feature Of their Watches, is the
fact that their several parts are all made by
the finest, the most perfect q nd delicate ma
chinery ever brought to the aid Of human In
dustry. Every one Of the more than q hun
doed parts Of every watch is made by q ma
chine-that insrllibly reproduces every
succeeding part with the most unvarying &C.
curacy. IL was only necessary TO make one
perfect watch Of any particular style and
then adjust the hundred machines necessary
to reproduce every para Of that watch, and
1t follows that every succeeding watch must
be like it.
The Company respectfully submit their
watches on their merit only. They claimto
mako
a Better article for the Money
by their improved mechanical processes
than can be made under the old. fashioned
hundicraft system. They manufacture watch,
es Of every grade, from o good, low priced,
and substantial article, in solid silver hunt.
ing cases, TO the finest oh%ronometer /; and
also ladies' watches in plain gold or the
finest enameled and jeweled cases ; but the
Indispensable requisite Of all their watches
is that they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERs.
II should be remembered that, except their
single lowest grade psmed "Home Watch
honpany, Boston," ALL WATCHES made
by them
Are Fully Warranted
by q special certificate, and this warrantse
Is good at oil times against the Company or
its agents.

A Singular Dream.

The Quebec Mercury relates the fol.
lowing in connection with the death Of
Capt. W. D.. Spear, a soldier who had
formerly served in India This spring
he made a long tour through the States
and West Indies aud returned TO Quebec
before leaving for the west. Strange to
say, he stated to several gentlemen Just
before setting out, that he had a dream
in which he distinctly saw q coffin with
the name "W. D. Spear, died June 18th,
1867" on III and in writing to q lady,
about three weeks ago, he said in o Joke,
that n reason for addressing her was
his W approaching end as foreshadow
cd by bis dream, The date Of his death
is not known, but 1t must have been on
the day named or very near it. 1t ap.
pears that he was going to his cabin on
board q Mississippi steamer, which was at
aochor somewhere in the neighborhood
Of the Indian disturbances, when 10 the
middle Of the night, he was shot dead BY
. sentry, who omitted to challenge him..

Of the Cleveland Leader, (RadicaD the
following, which is not very fattering as
to the progresslofthe blacks Of Richmond,

since the adjustment Of slavery:
"a directory recently published in
Richmond gives in its local history Of the
city the singular and significant fact that
three hundred and sixty-eight houses in
the city are owned by negroes, all Of
which were acquired while slavery exist

Pertinent Questions.

The Rockport (Iudiana) Democrat
makes the following pertinent inquiries
"Maimed and crippled soldiers have
no special legislation in their behalf, and
while they periled life and limb for the
country, the bondholders risked nothing
but their money. The soldier finds no
laws that relieve him from paying taxes
because Of his mutilation. Why should
money-lendiug loyalty" enjoy priv.
leges that are denied in the patriotism
that fights, and bleeds, aud dies These
are questions which the hard times arc
forcing people to consider"
The soldier, too, was paid in green.

The Transfer OF Power to the
Negro.


1t was we'll observed by Mr.. Pendle.
ton, in his speech at st. Paul, that the
policy Of the Radicals led not simply to
negro suffrage, but to the entire transfer
o. power IN six States from the whites to
the negroes. These States are South
Carolina and Mississippi, where the negro
population is much larger thae the white,
ADD Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Louis.
lana, where they nearly equal the white
population, and where the d~isfrapchise.
ment of the latter prevails will throw the
scales Of power 10. their favor. Is not
this q matter Of some concern to the States
OF the North 7 Do they want to be in
partnership with q negro Southern Con,
federacy? Is that going to strengthen
the Union and give US domestic peace
and tranquility |? Shall we have better
markets for our produce, better markets
Tor our commerce when the white popu
lation is driven as il will be, by hostile
Legislation, from the Gulf States, and the
whole country there is abandoned to the
negroes That portion Of our country
Radicalism has destined for the fate Of
Hayti aud Jamaica. The white popula.
ton being moro numerous than it was 10
those islands, will struggle harder against
il, and it will trke q longer time to effect
it, but the general result Of q white exc.
dus and en,ircSnesro supremacy will be
realized. These Radicals; who would not
allow their own race to found a new con.
lederacy in that magnificent region
known as the Gulf Statss--a region that
was once so rich and productive-will
give il over to tho negroes to make an
African Empire. that will have no more
real sympathy with US at the North than
Dahomcy or Hayti now have Eng.
