Watches, and intends to give his whole attention
to REPAIRS ONLY. Watches are such delicate
machines that if in fixing them the mind is at all
abstracted from the object in view it is very un
certain about them being properly done, and if
,on employ a workman to do them for you it is
still as uncertain —for where you get uni done
properly and to your satisfaction you are likely
tu find thru, not fit to put luto a customer’s
pocket; sud Mr. 8. does not hesitate to say there
is no one so likely to do them justice as the
master that knows his trade, and whose whole
and solo interest Is absorbed in them.
Mr. 8. 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 bo tent to public
auction. The unprecedented succost of his pre
decessor, L. Gatawskey, is the cause of his adopt
ing the same principle.

From Yesterday’s Noou Edition .
Ou the i!oth iDst., the Texas Conven
tion passed an ordinance to confer juris
diction on the Confederate States over
all forts, arsenals, lighthouses aud dock
yards iu the State.
■ •
The Belton (Texas) Democrat says that
a man named Gardner was killed in Ham
ilton County, recently, by a party of citi
zens for expressing abolition sentiments
and stealing cattle.
The Providence Post says; The Burch
divorce case cost $15,000 —a small sum of
money for the noise it made. The par
ties are negotiating for a permanent aud
peaceable separation, with prospects of
success. Neither is willing to endure
another trial if it can be avoided.
Capt. Draper’s Company of over sixty
stalwart men who left tlus county laßt
Saturday, says tho Jacksonville (Ala.)
Republican, were nearly one-half married
men—not more than ten or a dozen have
any interest in negro property, and the
three Lieutenants aud Orderly Sergeant
are all grandfathers.
Planting Corn.
We are pleased to learn, says theCuth
bert Reporter, that nearly all of our far
mers are planting large crops of corn and
other grain, so that there will be no scar
city of breadstuff's in this section.
Army Officers Beslgncd.
The resignations of Assistant Surgeon
W. A. Carswell, of S. C., and James 11.
Berrier, of Georgia, and of Brevet 2d
Lieutenant Harold Borland, sth Infantry,
of Arkansas, a son of ex-Senator Borland,
have been received at the War Department
of the United States.
First Shipment.
On Tuesday, the 26tb, the first ootton
from Thomasville was shipped by the
Atlantic & Gulf Railroad to Savannah.—
There were sixty-four bales in all, done
up in home made rope aud twine. The
Reporter Bays the cars arc expected to
make regular trips from that place to Sa
vannah early in next month.
The Brenham (Texas) Enquirer learns
that on the receipt of the exciting news
from Brazos Santiago, at that place, Mr.
F. P. Sawyer made a handsome donation
to several who expressed a willingness to
go to Brownsville, consisting of five fine
horses, a splendid gun and six-shooter,
the whole valued at SI,OOO. This was
done on the spur of tbe moment, and
speaks volumes for the contributor.
In Hamilton County, Texas, recently,
a resolution ordering James Mcßarron,
Chief Justice of the county, to deliver up
the books and papers of his office, and to
leave the county, in the space of five days,
or else abide the verdict of an indignant
community, was signed by 65 citizens.
Mcßarron had been tried by a jury of
twelve good and substantial men, and was
found guilty of Abolitionism.
Estimates of the cotton grown, it is sta
ted, are now less than four millions of
bales, and will fall short of last year’s
crop ncorly, if not quite, one million
bales. Having received to March Ist
3,100,000 bales, there is but little more
to come forward, and reports from all
sections South state that the crop has
nearly, if not quite, all gone forward to
market. These facts will have an impor
tant influence upon future prices, and all
grades of cotton will rule higher.
A meeting was held at Enterprise, Mis
sissippi, on the 21st ult., the object of
which was to take into consideration the
building of a railroad from that place to
Grenada; also, to devise some plan for
the speedy completion of the contempla
ted railroad between Enterprise and Sel
ma, Alabama, via Linden. A committee
of eight influential gentlemen were ap
pointed to take all proper steps necessary
in the premises.
The Vicksburg Whig says Gov. Pettus
has promoted Gen. Charles Clarke, senior
Brigadier General of the army of Missis
sippi, to the position of Major General,
made vaoant by the resiguation of Gen.
Earl Van Dorn. This leaves a vacancy
in the list of Brigadiers, to be filled by
the appointment of tho new Major Gener
al. Gen. Van Dorn, it will be remember
ed, resigned in order to accept the ap
pointment of Colonel of Cavalry from the
Confederate States.
The Jacksonville (Ala.) Republican
notes the death of Miss Mary Prinson,
who was burned to death on the 20th inst.
She was at home, alone, engaged about
the fireside, when her dress caught on
fire; there being no one near to extin
guish the flames, or otherwise assist her
in this extremity, she was burned so ter
ribly as to precipitate her death in two
or three hours.
♦-
Washington, March 29.—The Govern
ment here has issued orders for the seiz
ure and confiscation of goods arriving in
the W’est from the South free of duty.
The steamship Bienville, seized at New
York for irregular clearance, has been
released, and will positively sail, on her
return trip to New Orleans, Monday nest,
the Ist prox. The owners previously
gave bonds for the payment of any fine
that may be imposed upon her.
The foreign goods on board the Bien
ville are still held by the authorities.
Several other vessels at New York from
the South, without proper United States
clearances, have likewise been fined by
the Collector of that port, and their cap
tains have paid the fine under protest.
| . A Worthy ••Itinerant."
The Warrington correspondent of the
1 Pensacola Observer, pays the following
tribute to Rev. Mr. Campbell, of the
Alabama Conference:
( The Rev. Mr. Campbell, of the Ala
| baton Conference of the Methodist Epis
j copal Church South, deserves a passing
notice. He was stationed here by the
i last meeting of the Conference, ana arriv
ed about the 15th of January lost to ea
ter upon Ins duties lle found his Hock
scattered and unable to give him aDy
promise of remuneration, (aud indeed
were it not for tho kindness of one who
had no connection with his church he
would have been without a place to board,)
yet despite of all obstacles he nobly re
solved to remain at bis post and do his
duty. Many of tbe troops who had ar
rived were of his persuasion, and he re
solved to stay with them and endeavor by
precept and example to steer them
through tbe campaign without their
morals being endangered. Ho has
preached to them every Sunday after
noon at tbe Naval Hospital, and mingled
with them as much as possible for the
attainment of his noblo object. Although
he is but a poor “ Itinerant ,” I trust his
noblo conduct will not be forgotton, and
that should Chaplains be required in the
army or navy of the Confederate States,
such men as he is may be selected rather
than those who have borne neither the
fatigue or burden of the day.
LOAN FOR THE DEFENCE
OF THE
Confederate States.
THE uuilsrsignufi have been requested by the
Secretary ut the Treasury of the Confederate
States of North America, os Commissioners for the
State of Georgia, to bring forward in said State,
five millions of tho loan of fifteen millions of dol
lars, recently authorized by Act of Congress. For
the purpose of affording au opportunity to all
who may be willing to take a part in this loan,
we propose to have books opened on tbe 17th day
of APRIL next, at the foliowing points, and at
such other places as we may hereaiter designate,
viz : Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Columbus, At
lanta, Milledgeville, Athens, and Roue.
(..Special notice of the place where the Books will
he opened, and of the persons appointed for this
purpose, at each of these points, will be in due
time given. Below we submit a statement from
the Secretary, which, in connection with the Act,
is plainly explanatory of tho nature and charac
ter of the loan. And we express the confident
hope, that our fellow-citizens will approve of this
direct appeal to the people, rather than to foreign
capitalists, for the means of carrying on onr new
Government; and that all possessed of ths means
will feel it their duty to avail themselves of an
opportunity which enables them to make an en
tirely safe and profitable investment, and, at the
same time, contribute aid to the cause of patriot
ism and their country.
