GREAT ATTRACTION
In the Southern Trade!
TXTILLIAM SMITH, Watch- JgS _
Ts maker, No.Bl Broad street,
begs to inform the respected in- [/j /
habitants of Columbus and its /augl
vicinity that bo has relinquished JSKsS 1 ‘dXv
for the future the sale of
Watches, and intends to give his whole attention
to REPAIRS ONLY. Watches are such delicate
machines that if in fixing them the inind is at all
abstracted from tho object in view it is very un
certain about them being pioperly done, and if
you employ a workman to do them for you it is i
still as uncertain —for where you get ont done
properly and to yonr satisfaction you are likely j
to find three not fit to put iuto a customer’s
pocket; and Mr. S. does not hesitate to say there
is no one so likely to do them justice as the i
master that knows his trade, and whose whole !
and sole interest is absorbed in them.
Mr. S.has a good stock of well-selected Watches
by him, and which he will dispose of at a great
reduction, providing too much time is not taken
up the sale, otherwise they will be sent to public
uuction. The unprecedented success of bis pro- J
decessor, L. Gatawskey, is the cause of hiH adopt
ing tho same principle.

CHEROKEE REMEDY!
Cures from
AN UNFAILING CURE FOR
Gonorrhoea and all Diseases of the
Urinary Organs.
11HI8 RFIMEDY cure when all other prepara
tion! fail. It i entirely unlike every other
compound; containing no mineral poieon or nau
seous drug, as it is prepared solely from Roots,
Barks and Leaves, and lias been handed down,
from one generation to another, by the Cherokee
Indians. It is offered to the public on its own In
trinsic merits. It performs Its dnty quickly and
thoroughly. The unfortunate of either sex will
be repaid by using this Remedy, instead of placing
themselves at the mercy of some Quack or Pro
fessor. This Remedy strikes at the very root of
the disease; its tendency is not simply to suspend
tho poison, but to remove the cause on which it
depends. Full directions in pamphlet form ac
company each bottle. The speedy and permanent
relief afforded by this Remedy, in all cases of
Gonorrhoea, Gleet, Gravel, Strleture,
Fluor Albua (Whites in Females), and all dis
eases of the Urinary Organs, has astonished the
most scientific men of the age. This Remedy not
only eradicates all poison from the system, but
invigorates the most delicate constitution.
It does not affect the breath or interfere with
any class of business, or require any deviation
from the usnal diet.
It requires no assistance from other medicine.
And what enhances its value is the entire ab
sence of all nauseous taste, being a pleasant and
delicious syrup.

Washington, March 2d.—lntelligence
has just been received here and it was
laid at once before the administration
that commissioners arc new in New Mcxi
■_ >, Athens, Honora aud Chihuahua, des
patched hence, by the independent State
of Tcaii • to coufer with tbd people of these
Territories iu relation to tho present po
litical crisis, and to invite (heir co-opera
tion in the formation of the Southern
confederacy to be composed of such slave
States as may unite themselves for this
object. The commissioners uso the fol
lowing significant language in their ad
dress to the people of those Territories :
“ Every argument aud every appeal hith
erto made .u behalf of the prosperity of
our once glorious country seems to hovo
proved inadequate to the task of crush
ing out the black fanaticism of the North,
and the current of secession, impelled on
| by a sense of duty and hereditary honor
by tho South, caanot be turned to its
fountain. Irreconcilable as the thought
may be to American patriot, the stern
fact is palpable that the bonds of our
Uuiuu are severed. The beacon light of
hope, which a few days ago loomed up in
tire heart of every lover of his country,
now flickers dimly iu the socket, and ap
parently no earthly power can avert the
dissolution of the slave and non slave
States of tho Union. It must be deter
mined whether you will loDger, feeding
upon hope, live in anarchy, or forget a
government by whom you have been dis
carded, even turning a-deaf ear to your
supplications, and at whose duor you can
justly lay lives aud fortunes of many of
your best citizens.
The matter seems to be well received.
The commissioners are invited to atteud
a convention, convened to meet on March
111, at Messilla, for tho purpose of taking
into consideration the present political
crisis of the country. This convention,
it was confidently believed, would adopt
some plan for the carrying out of the
movement contemplated by the Commis
sioners.
This intelligence lias caused great un
easiness on the part of the administration.
This is another embarrassing question ;
but it has to be met, and that promptly
too; for the administration clearly sees iu
the movement the designs of the South
towards the fertile plains of Mexico.
The ICxtra Scanlon of Congreia,
Washington, March 24.— The Cabi
net session of yesterday was protracted
until a late hour last night. What de
termination, if uny, they came to has
not transpired. It is more than probable
that they failed to reach anything defini
tive in regard to tho policy to be pursued
towards the seceding States.
The question of an extra session was
before them, and a gentleman who lias
the run of the kitchen at the White House
stated to day that be did not see how the
administration could get along without
an extra session. He received his im
pression undoubtedly from the President,
b'everal members of the Cabinet are
known to favor an early assembling of
Congress. Thero are others who fear to
tako such a step, lest it may, as in for
mer administrations, be the precursor of
speedy downfall.
There is a rapidly growing sentiment
here among conservative men favorable
to the adoption of the constitution of the
Confederate States. They regard that
instrument as a great improvement upon
the old one, and what is more important,
they assert that by its adoption the Union
is again restored and peace and fraternal
feeling between the sections irrevocably
cemented.
Catkollcu and their Political Dutlea.
The following is tho conclusion of Arch
bishop Hughes’ address at New York, on
St. Patrick’s Day :
He said that in our own country, where
there had been lately so muoh excitement
—all of which he trusted would termin
ate amicably—[applause]—for every man,
North and South, (they called it North
and South,) though they talked about
division nnd civil war—there was but
one rule fora Catholic wherever he was:
that was to do his duty—to do his duty
as a citizen. If, living south of Mason
and Dixon’s line, ho thought those on
that side were right, he ought to fight
there; and if we here thought the other
way, we would fight too. [Applause
and laughter.] But no matter bow deep
and wide they might contrive to make
the chasm dividing the North and South
in their political relations, they could not
divide the Catholics on both sides of the
line: for, though they might not be very
distinguished engineers, so far as reli
gion was concerned they could throw a
bridge over the chasm. [Great applause
and laughter.]
Prairie CltlckeMa at Washington.
The astonished backn.cn in Washington
say the Republicans are singular chaps,
for they are all walkers. They walk to
the White House, they walk to the Capi
tol, they walk to the Navy Yard, they
walk to Georgetown, they walk the ave
nues all dny, and then walk to a hall, and
walk home and take another walk after
they get there to straighten their legs
before going to bed. Such chaps are
good for shoemakers, but a poor set for
the hackmen. One of these prairio chick
ens, they say, can walk down any haok in
Washington.
