W atch Presentation.
The crowded state of oor eolutans yesterday, I
prevented us from inserting the speech of Bar-
geent A. G. Chisholm, on the pert of tbe **0*14- I
City Guards,” oa presenting a beautiful lady's
Gold Watch to Miss Josephfn# B. Hsnleiter,
and the response of Oen. JohteH. Kloe, on the
>ert of Miss H„ which we now annex :
Mm Hami.bitbb} It becomee my pleaeleg
duty. In the name of the "Gate-City Guards,"
to present you this Watch, as a smsll token of
their good will. Tour repeated acta of kind-
ness toward us, rsader this present but the
more appropriate. Whether we ore called up
on to struggle amid tbe fearful scenes of the
bloody battle field, or are permitted to walk
quietly “ in paths of pleasantness whieh ere
paths of pesos," be assured that the Gate City
Guards will loug remember your encouraging
•miles and valuable advise. Let the beauty
of this watch, as you beer it to learn the hour
as it passes, ever remind you that it eannot be
more faithful in telling you tbe time of day,
then we will be in procuring, with our lives, if
necessary, your best interests, si well as the
chief earthly good of ell true Southern women.
We are now, in m*Dy particulars, in the midst
of the greatest revolution tbe world has ever
known. So far as we are concerned, we are
unalterably determined that this revolution shell
be e success. We have placed our hands to
tbe plow, and rather than look back, in this
glorious deliverance from Northern tyranny
end ioeult, we confidently believe that the fair
women of the sunny South will cheerfully join
us, if need be, in giviug up tbeir heart’s blood
to secure to our posterity the priceless bless
ings of Constitutional liberty. But we shall
net fail. Armed with justice—and hence doub
ly armed—supporter! in our movements by the
voice of Heaven—beconed onward by the fair
hands uf our own fair eountry women—in tbe
name of justice—of woman, and of God, we
have determined to
•• Strike till our last armed foe expires,
Strike for our altars and our fires,
Strike for the green graves of our sires.
God and our native land!"
On one side of this watch you will iiud 13
jewels : these will remind you of the 13 original
Statos, so famous in hi'tory for their deeds of
heroism and noble achievements. These States
were et first controlled by honest men, diapos
ed to do each other justice. But times have
changed. The 13 grew to 33, and a dominant
and unconscientioua majority, acting under the
false philosophy of the "Higher Lay,” and the
senseless statesmanship of “ the Irrepressi
bW-Couflict-Rail-Splitter,” thinking that tbe
spirit of ’76 had fled from tbe dwellers in this
“ Southern land," foolishly propart d to place
upon our necks social and political inferiority,
regardless of written compacts and fraternal
ties. On the other side you will find 7 jewels:
these will remind you that the North sadly
mistook us, taking our forbearance in times
past, for cowardice, and that the spirit of ’76
still lives among us, and that “ the Confederate
States of America" have beeu compelled to in
augurate a new Government—we believe a bet
ter than the old. Your smiles and countenance,
and the smiles and couutenance of such ssyou,
will inspire us to stand by the immortal "Sev
en.” The memories of the "Thirteen,” will
turn your mind to the patriot women of the
Revolution which delivered us from the tyran
ny of the British Lion. The memories of tbe
"seven" w.ll point you (God bless them!) to
many a living woman who will live in histo-
ry, gloriously connected with a revolution
which has freed us from a bondage worse than
England placed upon our fathers.
Having written your name among the patriot
women of '01, you have proved yourself to the
world to be a worthy descendant of the women
of ’70. Again I say, accept this watch, as but
an humble testimonial of the kind regards of
the " Gate-City Guards.”
Gen. Rice then replied as follows:
Sergeant Chisolm : In the name of Miss Han-
leiter, the recipient of this valuable present—
so unexpectedly presented—permit me to as-
■ure you the accepts, with inexprsssble pleas
ure, end that it will be worn with grateful re
membrance of your noble company, who are
now about to take your line of march to the
tented field, and, if need be, to fight the bat
tles of our country. And also, to thank you for
the kind term* in which you have tendered
tbe valuable gift. Rest assured that you, and
the noble company you represent, will be pre
sented to the Throne of God daily, that His
providence may watch over end protect yon
And egeia, in her behalf, end for myself, I ex
press our devout prayer that God will preserve
you, whether In camp or battle, and again re
turn each one of you to your homes end your
friends.

iu connection with the Act. Is plainly expl»natorf of the

confident hope that our fellow-citizer s will approve of
this direct appeal to the people, rather than to foreign
capitalists, for the means of carrying ou our new Gov

it their duty to avail themselves of an opportunity which
enables them to make an entirely sufe and profitable
investment, and, at the same time, contribute nld to the

The debt has the very unusual and important securi
ty of a duty of one-eighth of a cent, per pound, or

duty, under all circumstances, of peace or war, secures
the punctual payment of the Interest, and furnishes a
sinking fund for the redemption of the pilnclpaL The
coupons, when due, are receivable In payment of the
duty on Cotton, and are thus made available as coin,
everywhere In our country. In order to enable all por
tions of our people to take a part of this valuable In

ing funds for the common defence, books of subscrip
tion will be opened at the cltiee and principal interior

Persons desiring to secure their subscriptions, may pay

scription at all points, and to enable all persons con
veniently to subscribe, current bank notes of the place

given first to those who pay down their whole subscrip
tion : next to subscribers of $50 ; next to subscribers of
