r. .* individual obligations to aid tbeir usfcrt’inale
ueighbota, by making the Government their agent
ro distribute the ir ckaritic#. if they believe that
‘ th** moat and sore mode.
We prrp ae cow to notice the provLiona of our
prteiu!p.arj, and suggest rose amendmeula to it; <
acd then to estimate the enormous expeu?e of Mr.
Cobb’s scheme, and the many d.fii:ult:es attending i
Under the plan nowin operation, the Stale ap-
propriates anr.ua.’y about $20,000, to be divided
ec‘ among the several counties, e&ou receiving an
at pr port.oned to its number cf poor chi!•
drea. The Ordinary of earth county, is empowered
aleo, to !evy a tax iu the c unty, as much aa may
be recojunended by the Grand Jury, to increase
tins fund. At the end of the year, the teacher# in
the county preeect :o tLe Ordinary their aoccuots
for mstracticg thoae cvildren, whose parents are
unabie to pay fjr it. Tie Ordinary pays each a
percent on these accounts as the faodi in band
wiil enable him. In every county where the
peop.*? de*?re the poor to he v\ii educated, they
have but to urge their Grand J ariei* and Ordinariee
to increase this t ucci, eo as to eacourage teachers
to look h f.er the chi.dren of the poor and gather
them into school*.
I r-ugg"‘. some amendments to this system.
Ist. A liberal increase of the amount appropro
priated by the Slate. Tnu would stimulate the
counties to increase the amounts raised by them.
I believe the ia-ft Legislature did increase its ap
propriation to SIOO,OOO. I deeire to see it still
Partner increased.
I *grec wi’hMr. Cobb that it would be well to
appropriate the nett earnings of the State Road to
educational purposes rather than leave them in the
Treasury to st imulate a system of “1 g rolling, *’ by
wnich ii woo’d De worte than squandered. While
this amount, however, wcu and be scarcely a “drop
n the bucket 1 ’ :or the establishment of a Free
School syetem, it would, in addition to the sums
raised by the several courtier, pay the tuition fees
(a r liberal rales) of all our poor children.
2d. Aga-n I wcu and suggest that the amount ap
piopria *> by the State, be divided among tee sev
ers.! c untile in proportion to the Lumber of poor
children actually raugbt, considering also the length
of tune they were taught; or, in other words, in
proportion to the summations of the teachers ac
counts, as rep: ried tu t be Governor by tbs several
Ord.imri* -. Thu plan would stimulate each county
to secure the attendance ot the poor children at
school, in order to draw il* portion of the earnings
of the b at< Road.
3d I would have no restriction as to the age of
the children, or the studies to be pursued. Onr pre
sent plan id detective,confining ihf benefits to chil
dren from 8 to 18 (formerly 8 to lf>.) Many children
might be taught to read before they arc 8 years old,
while they are of littie u*e to their paren s about
the farm or house After that age their parents feel
unable or unwilling to spare their, to go to school.
Again, many poor boya when 17 or 18, leave
home by their lath ir’a permission to labor for them
selves; and alter a while they conclude to go to
school a year or two, but as the law now is, they
are exciuusd from its benefits. I would say let
tiiem go, and it they have a noble ambition,
prompting them to advance beyond the elementary
studies, let their tuition, at least, be paid out of
this Jumi, whether they go to e primary school,
academy or college.
I h. 1 would provide also that no Ordinary
should draw from the Slate fund unless he furnished
a certificate that a!l the teachers presenting claims
through him, had been examined by a suitable com
mittee and pronounced competent to teach, and
men of good moral*. This would drive cut of the
luiners those drunken, ignorant, worthless vaga
uds who now pretend to teach and draw funds
from the public.
Our Colleges are annually graduating a large
number of worthy young men of limited means,
who do ire to engage at once in the business of
teaching, it .lie £>tate should appropriate the
amount suggested, so a-j to pay proper ratea of tui
tion, they would go at once into these destitute
counties and gather up the poor children and teach I
them.
bach would be the it reused demand for good
teachers that inuny a poor young man wouid easily
find friends To advance him the rneana to prepare
h uibe.f for this bmiinese, and thus th education of
the poorer claeMes would be doubly stimulated.
M ny a neighborhood, where now they cannot raise
quit j enough paying tcholars to employ a good
Letcher, would then, by the aid of the amount paid
by the fctaie for the tui ion ot the poor cuildreu
among them, be enabled to sustain an excellent
school. Thus thoee who tire able to pay the tuition
ol their children, would be aided, in That they would
then have a good school n.ear home instead of send
ing their children off.
It j Luis plan, the State would greatly stimulate
the cause of education, aid the needy, and yet be
relieved from ail complicity with the vexed ques
tions of locating Academies and selecting Teacners.
Now, the only plausible objection urged against
this plan, is, that the neydy class will not avail
themselves of its benefi a. because it is a charity
bestowed by the State, jlut would it be any the
less a chanty to this claea under the “ Free School”
system 7 Would there not be the same objection
to both 7 1 am not prepared to admit, however,
that is a valid otj iction to either. If there is upon
ua an obligation to aid the needy among us, there
is, oi necessity, a. corresponding obiiga ion on them
to receive tbai aid ; aud, it necessary, we ought to
instruct them as to their duty in this matter 111 had
a large numnar of children, and were providentially
rendered uuabie to educate them, 1 thiuk I should
fee! it a duty to accept any aid which kind friends
or the public might elf r lam inclined to think
that the objection is u.agnithd. Whatever of such
lec mg there may have been many yeara ago, I
think lucre is little of it now. 1 have witnessed
tue operation of this system for several years and
have not yet seen any who refused its benefits to
their children, uimply .because it was a charity.
There may be a tew in some places: I believe,
however, they ar e few. I conversed recently with
cue of our Ordinaries on this subject. He informs
m that wheu the eyetem was fi st inaugurated,
there were a lew in Lis county who ra sed this ob
juotiou i but of late, he hears no objection on this
tcore.
Let ua estimate now the cost of Mr. Cobb’s “Free
School'’ system, aud exsinine the ditficulties attend
ing it There seems to be an impression that some
oi ib N rlheru State., furnish free education to the
people. Connecticut bus a large fund, over a mil
lion oi and bais, obtained from the sale of her Ohio
lauds, which is set up art as an educational surd, the
interest on which is divided out among the several
counties to cheaper* education. I believe, how
ever, that no State Legislature has undertaken to
levy a tax large enough to make education free.
L-t us sue what a tax the Georgia Legislature
j would have to levy. The census of 1850 gives
over 200,000 children iu the State at that time at a
proper uge to go to school. It the population has
continued to increase tiocs in the same ratio as be
fore, there are now about 270,000 children for
whi-in the State must provide at once.
At an average rale of SJS a scholar for tuition,
(saying nothing as yet about text books and houses)
the S 1 ate would have to raise $0 750,000 tax, about
!8 times as much ms she new raises so that a mau
who now pays S2O tax to the State would then pay
*3o0; one now paying SIOO wouid then pay SIBOO.
if the Legislature sbou.d undertake to levy such a
tax, the tax collector j would bo afraid to take out
their commissions and tlie legislators would have to
bid aa eternal farewell to Mil’ edge villa, if not to the
State.
1: any say that the amount is too large because I
have inade the average rate of tuition too high, 1
answer that there are all over the country umny in
telligent men, who are unwilling to send their chil
dren to those wandering pedagogues who go about
teaching little three mouth schools at low figures,
jurt to get money enough to have a month s spree.
And it woithy intelligent men teach at low figures,
they have to luge so many scholars, to make their
wages equal to what educated men make in other
avocations, that they neneesatily neglect some,
ilence many are seeing the wisdom of employing
competent teachers at liberal salaries, and giving
them but tew scholars. Among this class which is
constantly increasing, the rates of tuition average
above S3O
Now it the Mate undertakes to manage this
whole business of education, it must meatlbe views
oi this close, w hich all admit to be sound. It ought
Uot to compel them to sustain, and send their chil
dren to schools ot lower grade. And if it furnish
one class good schools, it must do tbe same for all.
The Mate dare not make invidious distinctions.
The Judiciary system is now supported by the
State. Think you, that she wouid avei dare to
make thssalaries ot Judges iu the Wiregrass and
Mountain regions, lower than in Middle Georgia /
Would she ever dare to pay the wool-hat members
ot the Legislature less than the educated lawyers
in the same body T
But we have said nothing aboot text-books and
school-houses, it the State be bound, as Air, 0.
say... to educate hr children, certaiuly the good
old mother w ill give them books and build school
bouses for thsci, even if she do not feed aud clothe
ibsui while at school. Many poor children are una
ble io buy bo, k*, and as they might refuse to ac
cept them from the States if others bought for them
selves, there would have to be a Urge tund provi
ded to buy books tor these 270,000 children.
We haven't room to do more than call attention
to the wrangling and quaireliug about locating
buildings. As they wouid all be paid for by tbe
State, every mau would claim that they ought
to be located as convenient y for him as for any
body else, ami that his community should have ss
fine a building as any other. Jnsome sparsely set
tled portions, there would have to be a fine souool
house for every half dexen scholars. Sir it is, every
community builds according to its means, and it
sparsely settled, they gather the children from a dis
tance It tbe State had adopted the plan of build
ing t e tbe corn t houses in the connty-towns. Dade
am ifabun would have claimed as fine buildings as
Kiohaioud or Chatham.
in Connecticut, where almost every forty acres is
a tarni with from three to ten children, there is no
difficulty in having schools convenient to every
man Not so here. Our peculiar Institution is all
the time changing the character of communities.
Iu tbe Cherokee counties, there was a time when
school houses might have been located conveniently
for every man, eo os to have bad large schools, and
none have to travel a mile to get to them. As tbe
original settlers prosper, they begin one to buy ont
me other, ‘ /or tibo w racei,” until where once there
was no difficulty m finding fifty scholars convenient
to ont point, soon they wIU not be able to find a
dexen. This is exactly the history of a community
in Burke County, where I was raised, and of a
thousand others iu the State Thirty or forty years
ago U.-v o. aid sasiiv get thirty or forty scholars.—
Now to'get ad isn they have to come three or tour
allies.
I conclude then if the State were to go to the
enormous expense of establishing such a mammoth
system, (requiring nine or ten millions of dollars the
first year it would be impossible to keep it at work
on account of the Constantly ohauging character ot
nur communities. Tooolieytand disburse so large
an am’ unt of money would require a large number
of Government agents who would have to be sup
ported out of it, and give opportunity for increased
Os the funds now raised, SIOO of every SIO9O go
to the collecting and disbursing officer*. At the
same rate, there would be more paid out to agents
uuder the new mammoth scheme, than is sufficient
under the present system to pay the tuition of all
the poor.
Let the Legislature pause ana ponder wed before
adopting any such plan, even though it be recom
mended by men of high authority.
Wbi.eon the subject of State aid to education.

A Decided Character. — Miss Lucy Stewart,
of South Scitnate, Mass , recently died at the great
age ot ninety-six years. The following account is
given of her strange personal history :
Her father was a white man—a sea captain—and
ber mother a fali-blooded Indian. Sae was brought
up in one ot the first tarailies of the town of Scitc
ate, and had within a year or two lived in the
family down to the fifth generation. Within that
time she had been unable to support herself, and
become an inmate of the almsh use. Sue was a
worn an of good maimers and pueeeeeed a great deal
of pride. She was much averse to going to the
almshouse, and until the day of her death was in
I tie habit cf dressing herself in a very gay style.
I She requested, iust before she died, to lie laid out iu
her bright pini dress, and to have on her lace tur
j ban, w hich was decked very gaily with feathers
j and showy ribbons,and her ‘kerchief round her
j neck. She a .so wished her effin to be lined with
flowers. She also requested to be ouried in the
burial ground with and near tbe family she had
lived with most of her days. She wieoed to be
carried to the Methodist ehuroh, and have the
Epacopai minister to state (which be did) that sbe
had never been out of tbe Unfits of tbe town, and
had never entered a church until she wad carried
n for burial.

Law Reboot in ArbeoN.
Mp- Editor Allow me to take advantage of
this occasion in writing you to refer to the fiat
terirg pro3pect for a Law School in ou? town The
opening lec ure, by J-dge Lumpkin, before an in
te..:gect and appreciative audience, was delivered
the 4th of October. To day the cumber of students
in actual attecdancei: twenty-three.
‘Tis unnecessary to refer to the gentlemen who
have charge of the school. Lumpkin has a
reputation over the Union; and Meters. Cobb and
Hi ! rack deservedly high amorg the prominent
Lawyers of our State.
We understand that the impression ;n Georgia's*
that a* Judge Lumpkin is on the bench, acd Meet:*
Cobb ana Hull are parralng their professions, sta
den?s might be neglected. This is a mistake, for
each one ij regularly at his poet, and never have
we seen men enter more cheerfully upon a work,
or exhibit a greater desire to advance tae interests
of those they were teaching. Young men disposed
to replenish thfrir minds with knowledge, will find
in this echcoi every expedient and encouragement.

Mr. Editor :— I find that the impression gene
rally prevails that all the “Bank Cases" —that is,
the suite and claims c.f the billholders and other
creditors of the broken Banks at this place have
been settled. This is a mistake. The lacts are
theco : La?t eummer during the session of the Su
preme Court, at Macon, a compromise was proposed
and t e terms agreed on, so far as the liability of
the Stockholders and Directors of the Planters’ and
Mechanics’ Bank of Columbus was concerned.—
That arrangement itself, has not as yet been fully
carried out; but it is being done, and it is believed
will soon be consummated. When that is dene, it
wili not extend to auy other Bank, nor embrace any
other liability, than that of the Stockholders and
Directors of that particular Bank to pay its debts.
The amount to be paid will not pay the debts
against that Bank- The creditor retains tLe balance
ol h.a claim and the right of pursuing the assets of
the Bank for its satisfaction ; which he is now doing,
and lor which suits are pending.
There is the Chattahoochee Railroad and Banking
Company, the old Bank of Columbus, the Bank of
St. Mary’s, awl the Manufacturers* and Mechanics
Bank, whose indebtedness and outstanding liabili
ties in the aggregate amount to two or three hun
dred thou and dollars ; and for tbs portion in bills
the stockholders are made liable by their respective
charters, except the Bank of St. Mary's. None of
these are embraced in, nor in any maruer affected,
by the arrangement or compromise befora alluded
to. Many of the holdeia of these claims are pressing
their collection —suits are pending against the
Stockholders aud Directors of most, if not all, o
these Banks, aud the rights aud liabilities of the
parties have yet to be adjudicated by the Courts.
I have deemed it not only just to the parties im
mediately interested, but also due the public, that
toe erroneous impretaions which teem to prevail ou
tbii subject, should be corrected; and ask the
privilege of doing so through the columns of your
paper. Very respecfully, yours, fcc.,

The Wanderer none to the African Const after
argo of Negroes*
We published yesterday an account of the theft
of the yacht Wanderer, and cf her escape to sea,
in which we stattd that Capt. Win. F. Black, a
Shipping Master, and Edw. Talbot, a runner of this
porl, had been carried off by that vessel. The
anxiety ol the friends of thse individuals for their
fate was rolieved yesterday morning by their return
to the city in their boat.
From what we have been able to learn, it appears
that Capt. Martin, alias Patten, who repsneented
himselt to Mr. C. llussey as being in negotiation for
au interest in the Wanderer, some time in the lat
ter part ol last week engaged him to ship a crew
for that vessel for a voyage to Matanzas. Mr. 11.
engaged to do so, aud furnished Martin with a
number ot his cards, after which one by one men
came to him with his card, upon the back of which
was endorsed—
“ Ship the bearer for the Wanderer.
D. S. Martin.”
Fourteen men were shipped by Mr. Hussey, all
of whom signed regular articles, and for whom he
intended to render his bill and expeoted to receive
his usual fees, according to custom, alter the vessel
had cleared at the Custom House, which the Cap
tain informed him would be done at 11 o’olock on
Wednesday morning.
The following are the names given by thirteen of
the crew shipped by Mr. H. :
Thomas King, 2d Mate —.
James Kenny, Steward, Ireland.
George Cbiiieter, Cook, Maine.
John Smith, Maes.
Ned Allen, Pit ladeiplfia.
Harry Somers, Mass.
Peter Lynch, Ireland.
William Davis, Maine.
Albert Morgan, “
Charles Brooks, New York.
Charles Hunter, Maine.
George per, Ireland.
M. F. Donnell, Maine.
On Tuesday eveniEg about half-past nice o'clock,
Capt. Black who is engaged with Mr. Hussey in
the shipping business, met Capt. Martin, and know
ing that he was soon to eail atked him for the
amount of the shipping bill. Capt. M. invited him
ou beard the Wanderer. He went, with Edward
Talbot, in the boat which was conveying provisions
to the yacht, then lying in the stream near the
lower Rice mill. When on board he was inviied
by Capt. Martin to take a glass of wine, which he
did. Shortly after, he observed certain movements
which convinced him that the Wanderer was about
to put to s? a, when he proposed to go on shore.
Capt. Martin then stated to him that he was goiDg
to leave the port, and ttiat no liviog soul should
leave the vessel That under the circumstances he
would not trust his own brother, and that he would
blow out the brains of any mau who attempted to
leave the vessel. It being useless to offer any
resistance, Capt. B. obeyed the order to go below,
where he laid down upon a so u, and, alter some
time, neing much fatigued, fell asleep. Between
three and four o'clock in the morning he was
awakened by a commotion on board, and found
that the yacht was aground. Capt. Martin was in
a towering passion at the mishap, and was very
uneasy until about 10 o’clock, mhen the tide en
abled the Wanderer to float, and she was again got
under way and eN)od cut to sea. Capt. Black aud
his kidnapped companion now’ renewed their ap
peals to be put on shore, to which, Capt. Martin
rep led that he could not release them, and that if
they wouid go the voyage witb him it would bo
greatly to their advantage. Persisting In their
entreaties to be put ashcre, the Captain of tiie
Wanderer dually consented, when he was well out
of the harbor to let them go. While the vessel was
uuder full sail, aud going at a rapid rate, they were
allowed to jump iuto their boat which was towing
astern. As the line was cast off the Captain said to
them —“Now gc—my name is Patton, lam bound
to the coast of Africa for a cargo of Negroes—give
my respects to the people of Savannah, and tell
them to The conclusion of his
speech which was not distinctly heard may be
imagined by the reader.
The men thus released, alter a hard pull, arrived
here yesterday morning, thoroughly convinced that
the present cruize of the Wanderer has no oonneo
tion whatever with the marooning party, as is sug
gested by our neighbor of tbe Republican in his
editorial of yesterday.— Savannah Next.
The Republican gives the following very im.
probable account of the affair :
The Departure oe the Wanderer—ls the
general impreseion be correct, the disappearance
ot the yacht Wanderer from our waters is the moat
daring instance of robbery on record. We intima
ted in our city edition of yesterday, that she had
perhaps gone on a marooning expedition, as tbe
tacts then to our possession seemed to justify that
a hoax was attempted upon the public. As re
ported to us, however, ana on good authority, tee
following seems to be the real sttaus of the affair:
Tne Wanderer had been tying iu our port during
the summer and fail. Some days ago, a man calling
himself Captain Martin, arrived in the oity and
proposed to purchase the famous craft. Being
unprofitable stock, the owner, Mr. Lamar, was quite
willing to part with the property. A price was
named and agreed upon by the contracting parties,
the condition of the sale being cash. A few days,
however, were neeee.-ary to make the financial
arrangements, and in the meantime Martin was
allow ed to take possession of the vessel and pre-
pare her for sea. Several days were fixed for the
payment, but in every instance the purchaser failed.
The vendor became restless, if not suspicions, a
fact which seems not to have escaped tbe ob lerva
tion of the wily vendee, for, between midnight and
day of Wednesday, the Wanderer, with a supera
bundant crew (numbering 27 when 12 is her full
complement.) weighed anenor aud set sail for parts
unknown It seems, according to the beet infor
mation that we could gather, that she was “armed
to the teeth” in all respects, and amply provisioned
for a long voyage, the latter comforts having been
obtained free of cost, as no bill* were paid previous
to the departure. It is aiso said that these supplies
were taken on board by daylight and without the
tightest effort at coaveakneni.
About the time of her departure, Capt. Black, of
the Richard Cobdeu. and a pilot named Ned, went
aboard to collect Certain dues while the opportunity
was offered. These parties were Dot allowed to go
ashore again, bat were taken ont to sea and dis
charged in the own good inns of Cast. Martin. —
They were put into a email boat about three miles
outside the bar, and returned to the city yesterday.
Upon setting sail, Capt. Martin—who seems to be
a buccaneer of tbs first water—to. I Black tha* he
was now master of the ship and had things ali his
own way, and that it any one on board attempted
to intefere with his plans, he would blow his brains
out in go insi&nt. Upon B.ack's lea sing the ship,
Capt. Martin requested him to give hie very best
compfiments to the people ot Savannah, tell them
to , and that the Wanderer was sate on
her way to the “t'other side of Jordan. 1 ’
Such is the version ot the story ge- oily believed
in oar city. We have no opinion on tbs subject
It is gecerauy agreed that Mr. Lau.;x oas been
thorough-y “soid” and nefariously robbed of bis
property.
Martin is represented as a taoroagn bred despera
do, and a* having been engaged for seme years in
the sieve made. His appearance wan’d justify a
suspicion of that character.
Quite an interesting operation was snccersfuily
completed late y in Port Dund&s, Scotland, for the
reetoration of a chimney which had settled out of
the perpendicular, xuis was aocompihbed by
sawing several of the mortar beds between the
courses on the side from which the chimney ieaned,
thereby allowing it to come back by its own weight,
without tbe application of any external force. Only
one draft was cut at a time, to guard against any
shock which might have endangered the stability
of the bui.d.ng, and by keeping the saws wet a bed
of mortar was prepared for the superincumbent
weight to settie down npen Twelve cute were
made in this manner on different parte of the
structure, which generally set before the taws had
passed through ha sos the circumference, particu
Ur y in tboee made nearest the ground, where the
weight was greatest. Tte principal dimensions of
the chimney ore : tota height, 468 feet i from sur
lace to top of eope, 154 feet; outside diameter at
foundation 50 test; at snrfaee, 34 feet; at cope,
14 feet.

tbe rebellion, and after stating that it had been
brought about by only fourteen white ruffians and
five who in the night time had taken
possessionof the arsenal, extinguished the lights,
cut the telegraph wires, and made prisoners of tbe
two or three hundred artizane in tbe worka, said it
was a burning shame that euch should have been
the case—that the works had been left exposed to
capture because no guard were stationed there—
and regretted that the arsenal had not been re
taken by Virginia soiffiere instead of U S. Mar-ire-.
Tbe Governor then gave a description c. G s .
wattomie Brown, the Border Ruffian , his plans for
insurrection; the implication of leadipg men of the
North in the rebellion , the paptqre of Col Wash
ington and private citijecs La Frederick and the
honesty, coolness and courage of the leader. He
said that (jo question of jurisdiction arose, and that
be Lad carried Brown to Charlestown to be tried,
bat that had the question come up he should have
asserted the right to hate Crown tried on Virginia
soil and by a Vnginia Court, and would have
maintained it until he was overpowered. The Gov
ernor oonclaped by saying that he had stationed a
guard of citizens at the Ferry, to prevent in future
another attempt upon the arsenal—that he had arm
ed the yeomanry of Berkeley and rrcqe.icx with
Sharp e rifles, belonging io tne* invaders—that he
> intended io ostaoiish mote convenient depots for tbe
arming of the people for self protection—and thst
he intended to urge ‘die people of the State to iorm
volunteer companies, fill np their regiment;, fit
t lemselvee for soldiers, and be prepared to repel ail
invaders, come from where they “jv. Hi; reinaike
were listened to with great interest."and the deafen
ing oheers, burst forth spontaneously from the
mass of citizens in attendance, showed that they
approved ail he had done, and ffiily appreciated tbe
Dromptness with which he had gone so Harper’s
: Ferry to oheck the rebellion.
On Sunday last snow fell at Chateaquay, N. TANARUS.,

THE WATCH QUESTION,
AMERICAN vs. FOREIGN WATCHES.
A CARD.
only eutlrely *ntl*factory proof of n
good Watch is, that it tel s correctly; and without inter
ruption, the true time of day. All other tests are illu
sory. If the Watch will not perform equally and with
accuracy, it is to no purpose whatever that is elaborate
ly finished, that curious shapes and patented devioes
are adopted, that novel escapements and ingenious con
trivances for compensation are introduced, or that the
whole is covered by a famous name and by a massive
and costly case. Hundreds of worthless Watches are
beautifully finished, and some are exquisitely contrived
to run badly and wear out quickly. A great deal of
work is most often a great deal of complexity, and all
will admit that no amount ot mere polish will advantage
any piece that is radically malformed or inexactly fitted.
It is SIMPLICITY OF CONSTRUCTION, and such
mathematical correctness in the size and shape of every
part as the application of maebienery to the purp.se
alone insures, that, with sufficient nicety of finish, ac
comp.i-hes the desired result.
The founders and managers of the American Watch
Company of Waltham are determined to make TIME
KEEPERS, whether they make money or not. They
do not under value ornament, but they feel that they can
not overvalue Time. This is the meaning of the whole
establishment. Thoroughly familiar, by practical expert
encc, with the evils inherent in foreign watches, evils that
all Watch dealers will bear them out in saying, render
nearly worthless for all purposes of time-keeping a large
majority of foreign Watches—they aim, through the
substitution of mechanical science, for tho uncertain
judgment of the eye and imperfect skill of the hand, to
produce an article that shall not only look like a Watch,
but perform the duty of a Watch, adorning it with such
a degree of finish as is sufficient, and which, through
oostliness, will cot put it above the reach of any class in
the cc mmunity. AND THAT THEY HAVE DONE
THIS, AND ARE DOING IT, they confidently appeal
to the thousands whose daily coming and going is regu
lated by Waltham Wat'hes, to say. In every system,
even the best, there will be imperfection, and instances
of failure doubtless occur in the Waltham manufacture,
but in a system vt liich produces Watches which are
IDENTICAL, rather thaD SIMILAR, the propertioncf
such must be reduced to a minimum.
Having achieved this decisive victory—a victory with
a reason for it—the American Watch Ccmpany is far
from being disappointed at the frequent and unscrupu
lous opposition it meets from many in the importing
business. This opposition was to have been expected
and the ocaasisn cf it will be apparent to any one who
considers the extent of the importers trade and its high
ly profitable character. The Company has no reason
to be dissa'isfied with the amount of patronage it re
ceives, since it is obliged, by the multiplication of orders,
largely to increase its force, and to work by night as
well as by day; but it is not content that any portion of
the community should be misled as to the real merits of
its Watches. Unfortunately there is no article in com
mon use which people generally so little understand as
a Watch, and a man’s watchmaker is his only reliance
for Judgment. So long, therefore, as imported Watches
yield a rich profit to the importer, the Company ex
pects a good deal of decrying and disparagement, wise
haklugof the head and faint praise.
The Company is gratified to be able to say, however
that there are hundreds in the trade whose supreme in
tercst is not in importation, or in an old stock on hand,
who have no national antipathies to an American
Watch; who, indeed, from patriotic motives, would
rather distribute them, even if they were not twice as
sound and hone.-1, and cheap as any other—with whom
Waltham Watches may be feund. The Company con*
fidently maintaiu that its Watches will abide the con
clusive test of time-keeping, and upon that ground it Is

AMERICAN GUANO COMPANY, N. Y.
riIJIIH Guano, far superior to any other Fertil’zer
A known, and of PERMANENT VALUE to the soil,
is sold at THIRTY PER CENT less than Peruvian
Guano. Its peculiar natural combination of the Phos
phates and Sulphates of Lime, enables it to restore to
the soil tbe properties lost by constant cropping, and the
Planter will be enabled not merely to reap from Its nse
a present crop, but find bis land at tbe end of the season,
healthier and stronger, requiring a lefi i amount of Guano
for the next planting.
This Guano feeds, but does not stimulate to excess,
the roots of plants, and they are thereby enabled to
withstand the effects of drouth to a greater degree than
by the use of any other fertilizer known. The universal
objection to the use of Peruvian Guano, from its fatal
results during a dry season, is obviated by the twe of the
Amer can Guano.
The application of this Guano, 75 to 100 pounds per
acre, will ensure wonderful crops of Cotton, Corn,
Wheat. Rye, Tobacco, Vegetables, See.
