LOCAL AFFAIRS. Found Dead. A man by the name of Fairweatber was found dead Saturday night, on liroid street. He was a tailor by trade. The Hon. ChorlesTlvilliams, has our thanks for pamphlet copies of the evi dence in the case of Win. A. Choice, and Hon. I. Butler King’s report ou State Aid. Steamer Ouviehee. The above steamer will leave for Apa lachicola and intermediate landings Wed nesday morning at 8 o’clock. For freight or passage apply on board. It A New Enterprise. We are reliably informed that a compa ny has been organized for the purpose of erecting a building in the lower part of the city, near the old Market House, the upper story of which will ba suitably arranged aud appropriated especially to theatrical and other exhibitions. About SII,OOO ot stock in the enterprise ha3 j already been taken. We are pleased to announce the arrival from the North, where he has been en gaged for several months iu getting up ttie machinery, &c., for the Water Works iu our city, of W. F. Serrell, Esq. He informs us that all arrangements have been completed, and that the contracting ! parties will be on in a few weeks to com mence the work of construction. He feels sanguine that the work will be com pleted in the course of next year. This will be welcome news to many of our citizens, who have loDg felt the want of au abundant supply of water in our city. + A Dangerous Place. At the corner of Randolph and For syth streets, the ditching made for the jurpose of draining, are so defectively covered as to be decidedly dangerous to vehicles passing over them, particularly at night. Monday night, a carriage full of ladies and gentlemen, coming in to the Concert, was overturned there, owing j to the above cause. Fortunately, the ac cident extended no farther than to dam age the carriage, but it was a Darrow escape for the occupants. We hope those having the supervision of such matters, will see that such accidents may not oc cur from the same cause again. Colton’s General Atlas. The agent for Columbus and Muscogee county, has exhibited to us a copy of Colton’s General Atlas of the World. It is gotten up very elaborately, and on a scahi more costly and extensive than auy we have ever before seen. The work is voluminous, coutaining accurate maps of all portions of America, Europe, Asia, Africa aud Oceanica, that has yet been visited or traversed to the latest times, tlirongh the efforts of commerce or travel. Each map is accompanied with statistics, historical, agricultural, and otherwise, and greatly increases its value. The work is invaluable, and is well worth at tention. Our Rad Road Enterprises. We invite special attention to the two Rail Road articles in this impression of the Sun Just now that subject is of vital and practical importance to our city, and should elicit the sober consid eration of every citizen. We regret to perceive the differences of opinion that prevail, but discussion will at least re sult in exhibiting the advantages and dis advantages of the several enterprises in contemplation. We are glad to see the matter discussed and elaborated ; it is decidedly a favorable sympton, and indi cates a healthy state of public feeling. Slack Water Navigation Company. In another place will be found the provisions of the bill introduced into the Legislature by Mr. Cook, of Early county, to incorporate the “Chatta hoochee Slack Water Navigation Com pany.” It has already passed to a second reading in the House, and has been re ferred to the proper Committee, as we are informed, and will probably be acted on in that body to-morrow —or iu a short time, at least. The bill, in our opinion, is one in which the citizens of Columbus are interested, and we invite particular attention to it. —: ♦ Woman’s Book of Health. The Augusta Southern Medical aud Surgical Jour mil, alluding to the above work, by John Stainback Wilson, M. D., says : We are gratified to learn that the above work, which we noticed in these pages some months since, will soon be issued from the house of Messrs. J. B. Lippin cott&Co. ’ The readers of this Journal are too well aware of the ability of the author of the above forthcoming work, to require from us, his recommeudation, as he has long been a frequent and val ued contributor to our pages. On the appearance of the work, it will afford us pleasure to call attention again and more definitely to its merits. The West minister Review, For October has been received. The present number is full and varied in its contents, which are as follows: Militia Forces ; Rousseau, his Life and Writings ; Spiritual Freedom; Modern Poets and Poetry of Italy ; Physical Geography of the Atlantic Ocean ; Garibaldi and the Italian Volunteers ; Tennyson’s Idylls of : the King; Bonapartism in Italy. One J feature of this periodical that deserves i special notice, is the brief critiques of Cotemporory Literature, such .as is not j made the subject of elaborate review. The price of the Reviews is $8 a year; “Blackwood” and the four Re- j views, $lO, re-published by L. Scott & 1 Cos., 54 Gold street, New York. The price of the Westminister one year is $3. . The Election Saturday, Did not come off, owing to the over sight iu the appointment of managers. The City Council at its regular meeting to-night, will, we presume, reconsider the matter, and prepare another proposition to be submitted to the city. As it must necessarily be acted on de novo, it is sup posed the question will be put in a differ ent shape from, the former one Whether it would be better to act upon the ques tion of aid to both routes jointly or sep arately, we are not fully prepared to say, but with the lights before us, we are more inclined to favor the submission of each proposition to the people separately, as a [ consolidation might hazard the success of either. The postponement of the ques tion will resu.t iu good. It has never been sufficiently canvassed to enable all those to decide upon it to vote under standingly, and for this reason os well as the discussion of the question in all its | bearings, we feel no regret on account ot I the failure of t:he election. Our columns will be cheerfully opened to cominunica y tions from the friends of both enterprises. High Price for Negroes. In Charlotte county, Va., lately there were sold six negro slaves, the property | of Mr. David Comfort. They were four girls and two boys, and ranged from 11 | to 21 years of age. They averaged $1,350 I each! One girl, seventeen years old, sold ; for $1,625. All were sold to parties in i the country, and for cash. “A Friend to Columbus,” Over this communication appeared in the Enquirer of Saturday, commenting upon the following language, used in an editorial article in ihe Sun of the 2d instant : “ she friends of the LaGrange connec tion urge that it would bring to Columbus the trade of Harris and a portion at least of Troup and the country adjacent, and I “ Iso , the valuable trade of Chambers, j Randolph and other counties in Ala bama.” He would not violate a rule prescribed by us, which is not to notice the effusions of anonymous writers, behind the masked battery of a fictitious name, but the com- 1 muuication of “A friend to Columbus” is couched in terms so respectful, and the purlieus of billingsgate are so carefully j avoided, that we deem it due to ourselves ; to explain the language above, lest we remain in a false position. Prompted by a desire to awaken an active interest in our Rail Road enter prises, we wrote and published a short series of articles, under the caption of “Columbus and her Rail Road Interests.” j Among other objects advocated, was a ! connection with Charleston. There were as now, two projected Roads competing for it, viz: those via LaGrange aDd Thomastou. Uncommitted then to either, we simply enumerated, without comment, j the peculiar advantages claimed and j ur god by the friends of each, and iu that i connection and sense only, did we use the language quoted in the coinmuoica- i tion of “A friend to Columbus”—the principal object being to elicit informa tion and induce practical reflection on the subject. * Tlie Sacred Concert. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, a select auditory assembled at Temperance Hall Monday evening, at tracted by the occasion of the second Co- j cert of the St. Cecilia Society. In ac- | cordance with the request of maDy friends and citizens, the programme of their first j entertainment was repeated, and this in ; connection with the undivided attention | given, is perhaps the highest evidence of the brilliant style in which the pieces ! composing it were rendered. The Organ Melodeon, owing to the dif ference in ttdaptation of the two Halls to its power and volume of tone, was ex- ; hibited with better effect than before ! The Solos, Duets, &c., were rendered by I vocal powers of surpassing sweetness, compass,Jand flexibility—in fact the first two Concerts of the St. Cecilians have made their Society a permanent institu tion, and to the lovers of vocal music—a necessity. We venture to suggest the propriety of interspersing the Concerts for the future, with nowand then, a piece of instrument al music. The amateurs of the city would doubtless volunteer their services on any occasion. In common with many citizens, we congratulate the community on the independent and inexhaustible resource of home amusement, which the St. Cecil ians have so successfully inaugurated. Cotton Planters’ Convention. EXTRA SESSION. Macon, Ga., Nov 16, 1859. Pursuant to a call of the President, the Convention met in the City Hall, Hon, Howell Cobb, presiding. The Constitution and rules were read by the President, when an opportunity was extended to gentlemen to become members of the Convention ; quite a number came forward aud signed the Constitution. By resolution offered by J. V. Jones,, the following gentlemen were elected honorary members: James A. Nesbit, George Logan, R 11. Ward. The President then read his communi cation, containing many important items of information respecting our relation with the Continental Direct Trade Asso ciation of Europe; and he also read sev eral very interesting letters from leading commercial gentlemen of Europe. The communication, together with the letters, were referred to a committee con sisting of Hon. Howell Cobb, J. V. Jones and Col. Jesse Havis. J. V. Jones read a very able and inter esting report on Fairs, which are pro posed to be held annually, in the city of , Macon, under the auspices of'the Cotton j Planters’ Convention. Resolution by Col. Thomas. Resolved, That this Convention appoint two gentlemen whose duty it shall be to visit the large cities and towns of Eu rope, engaged in the manufacture of cot- j ton goods of all descriptions ; and that 1 they be requested to communicate their information upon the cotton trade of this i country, at as early a day as practicable. The resolution was laid on the table for ! the present. Col. Thomas, chairman of the Commit tee on Banks, then read his Report; which was adopted. Adjourned for dinner. Afternoon session—met pursuant to ad journment. The resolution of Colonel Thomas was taken up; and after a free interchange of opioion. the resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote. Col. Howell Cobb and 1 Col. J. S. Thomas were elected delegates to Europe. By J. V. Jones, of Burke. Resolved, That the President appoint, | at his leisure, one gentlemen from each county represented in this Convention, . whose duty it shall be to raise funds to defray the expenses of the delegation to Europe, and the said gentlemen shall also be empowered to call county meetings, and use all laudable efforts to promote, in bis county, the great object contempla- j ted by this Convention. 2. Resolved, That the President appoint I a board consisting of himself, and all i i other officers of the Convention, together | with one delegatefrom each Congressional ! : District, who shall meet in the city of Macon, the early part of the next year, j j (the time to be appointed by the Presi j 1 dent) for the purpose of making prelimi i nary arrangements for the Fair, such as arranging a premium list, fitting out pro- I gramme, &c. By James West, of Burke county. Resolved, That the President request one or more gentlemen, from those cotton I counties not represented in this Conven tion, to get the people of those counties I interested in the objects of the Conven tion, and to send delegates to our meet ings. Resolution by Colonel David James, of Randolph. Resolved, That the proceedings of this j Convention be published in the city pa pers, and by all papers in the State friend ly to this Convention. Adjourned to meet again on the 2d Tuesday in June next. HOWELL COBB, President. S. H. J. Sistrunk, Secretary. The page Murder—Startling Devel opementa. The Montgomery Advertiser of Mon i day, says: A rumor reached this city on Saturday i last, to the effect that the murderer of Mr. Page, and also an accomplice, had J been arrested in Couecuh county a day or two previous, and immediately burnt by the former neighbors of the unfortu nate deceased. It is also stated, that these two fellows, before passing through the terrible ordeal to which they bad been subjected, confessed that they belonged to a regularly organized band of highway robbers, composed of nine other individ uals besides themselves. These are in deed startling developements, and it is to be hoped that the inhuman wretches, who have alike trampled upon the law of j God and man, will be eventually brought to the most condign punishment.

Mama CniLD, Waylaud, Mass.: Your extraordinary letters to Governor Wise and to John Brown, the man cou . victcd of endeavoring to bathe my neigh borhood in blood and rapine, dated Octo ber 2Gth, together with your note to the “ Liberator,” have induced me to ad dress you as ore Christian woman to j another. God has been pleased, in bis Provi dence, to cause a great many blacks from Africa to be brought by your fathers to this country before you or I were born, that they may be placed here as wards under guardians, to be instructed in the ways of civilization. You call them slaves, but, in reality, they are warJs. Unfit to be left to their own guidance, and, feeling it, they cling to the whites as protectors, and are in their normal condition when so placed. Custom had rendered the connection mutually bene ficial. and, when undisturbed by outside influence, there is no happier home than those of the agricultural districts of our State. Here you may see the absence of the exciting cares that attend too many families among you. There is no preten sion, but much of simplicity and honest content. Together, we and our servants ! spend a life time of mutual services. With us we see the same faces around us i until death or misfortune sunders the tie, whilst with you a constant change iu your domestics is daily to be expected. Your convenience is the only bond that unites you to your help, as you term it; with us, affection, which has strength ened from childhood to age, hallows the connection. In sickness we attend and nurse our servants, in age we maintain them, and when death separates, tears and mourn ing attest our love for the departed. To gether, we and our domestics joy over God’s blessings and abundance; we have one interest and make one family. The’ same gospel we bear they hear ; the same civilization we have we strive to incul cate. That this is so, you may learn from the greater value the Liberian Colo nial Government places on emigrants, who just come from Southern guardian ship or slavery over the free negro emi gration. That we have done our duty to the negro you may learn, also, by com paring the native African, or even the Haytien, with the Southern slaves. Madam, your hero, John Brown, came among us to incite our domestics to rise against us, to break up a peaceful Chris tian community, doing you nor yours no harm. We were happy, and our servants were happy ; we were treading together the narrow path of duty, enjoying our lives humbly and unambitiously, and this man of blood came to change all of this, and you who call yourself a Christian, say in the Liberator: “ My thoughts are so much with Cap tain John Brown, that I can scarcely take comfort in anything. I would ex pend all I have to save his life. Brave old man ! Brave and generous, though sadly mistaken in his mode of operation. Whether they put him to death, or he escapes from their hands, I think this will prove the ‘Concord Fight ’ of an im pending revolution, and that ‘Bunker Hill Battle’ will surely follow. May God make us strong for freedom ! I would say that evil days were near, were it not that no days are evil that lead to good.” Surely your morals must have been de rived from the study of Byron, and not from the teachings of our Lord and Mas ter. That sentimental poet deified pi rates, murderers, and a libertine life in general; you do the same—nay more, you ask our Governor to allow you to play the Medora to the robber Conrad. Is this the lesson you would teach our people? Would you have us first import wild pagans from Africa as your Massa chusetts fathers did : sell them to others, with the reservation that when the pur chasers, after toil and industry, had par tially civilized the barbarians, and a prosperous and piogressing civilization had set in, then that our children should pursue the innocent and useful purchas ers with fire and sword, to devastate the country and return people and land to their native savagery ? If these are the Christian principles you would inculcate, we want none of your teachings. What is your plea for such base conduct ? You say slaves are sometimes whipped ; they are also cruelly treated—are separated from husband, or wife, or children. Such cases are, no doubt, to be found; they are incident to evil human nature. But in your free State civilization unattended with wrongs and horrors ? Alas! I wish it were ; for I desire to see human nature better than it is. Yourpapers are loath somely full of the worst crimes—the most inhuman practices that can disgrace so ciety. For every one unhappy deed perpetra ted on the poor negro, I will engage to find a hundred perpetrated on your own kind among the Pharisees of Massacbu setts. Deity mercifully agreed to spare Sodom if but ten righteous men were found there ; you would destroy a whole people because there may be ten unright eous ones among them. Not to make my letter unreadably long, I will reserve what I have to say farther for another occasion. Your obedient servant, A VIRGINIA MATRON. Accident to Bishop Paine. A Choctow Nation correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, under date of Oc tober 26, writes as fol’ows: Bishop Paine, of the M. E. Church, South, preached an able sermon here yesterday. He is on his way to attend the Indian Mission Conferrence, which convenes at the Creek Agency on Thurs day next. The Bishop had a providen tial escape from death a few days since, near Bentonville, in Arkansas. The stage in which he was traveling upset, the horses took fright, and dashed off at a furious rate, dragging the vehicle over a rocky road, fracturing two of the Bishop's ribs on the left side, and con fining him inside until the top of the coach was broken to pieces.

To the Physicians of the Southern States : Wolfe’s Genuine Cognac Brandy. Wolfe’s Genuine Port Wine. Wolfe’s Genuine Madeira Wine. Wolfe’s Genuine Sherry Wine. I am now supplying the trade with pure Cognac Brandy, in bottles, both for medical and private use. The immense success that has crowned my efforts toplace a pure Gin within the reach of all, under the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, and to drive out of the market the pernicious com pounds sold as Gin throughout the country, led many leading druggists, apothecaries and medical men, for some years past, to solicit me to pursue the same course in regard to the article of Brandy. I should have complied with these requests from all quarters loDg ago, but was deterred from it by the fact, that owing to the exhorbitant* prices of Brandy in France, consequent upon the shortness of tho grape crop for some years, there was no chance of my being able to inport the choicest Brandy, bottle it and sell it at moderate prices. Fortunately for me, the grape crop for the last and previous year (and the prospect for this) was abundant, and prices of Brandy have fallen to the standard ol ten years ago. The duty on Brandy is also seventy per cent lower, and I have now made arrangements with four Brandy exporters in Franco, of the highest repute, and am regularly receiving consignments of the best Cognac Brandy, which I am bottling and selling as Wolfe’s Genu ine Cognac Brandy. I guarantee, with my seal, labels and certificates, the Brandy so bottled by ‘ me, as the pure, unadulterated article, and it will be found, when used as a medicine, a beverage, or a cordial, healthful and invigorating. It has been a matter of universal complaint, that a bottle of pure, unmixed French Brandy, was very difficult to obtain, and the purchaser, nine times in ten, was deceived with a vile manufactured imitation. Of-all descriptions of ardent spirits, Brandy, from its high price, has been the one article that mixe rs and sellers have turned their attention to, and millions of gallons of the so-called French Brandy have been scattered annually through the land, and have been the primary cause of murders, sui cides, cruelties and crimes, and have sent thou sands to an early grave, self-destroyers, from de lirium tremens, mania-a-potn and horrors, names unknown, until unprincipled men began to make maddening compounds and sell it as the pure Fiench Brandy. The virtures of pure French Brandy need not be told by me. They are known throughout the world as a medicine or mild stimulant. It is, as the French nation poetically call it “Eau de la vie,” the water of life. But this applies to it only when pure and unadulterated. Manufactured with the fearful ingredients that make agood imitation, it becomes a death drink to innocent tens of thou sands of our race. To remedy a fearful evil, I have commenced importing Brandy, bottling it, and selling it as “Wolfe’s Genuine Cognac Bran dy.” lam daily receiving orders from the drug gists and apothecaries in all parts of the Union, to sell it tor medical purposes.

DAILY SUN OFFICE. ) Columbus, Ga.. November 22,1859. j COTTON—The transactions in our market yesterday amounted to 239 Kales at quotations in our statements annexed. The advices per Canada served to make factors firmer in their 1 demands, which shippers were unable to accede to, being under limits in some instances, and in others regarding prices asked too high. The receipts for the day amounted to 450 bales. Our last weekly report, closing on the 12th ! inst., left the market quiet, Jput- firm, at 10 to ! 10)4 for Middling to Good Middling. The week now under review has been remarkable, as re- 1 spects the large business from wagons on the I streets, and the very limited business in the j warehouses; it might be appropriate to remark just here, that the daily reports of sales does not embrace street transactions, but is taken alone from the sales of legitimate factors. Monday and Tuesday, the two first days under review, hold ers were firm at our last quotations, but in con sequence of the difficulty in shipping and what buyers regarded as high prices, only 263 bales changed hands; Wednesday and Thursday, holders hoping to accommodate the views of buyers, conceded %e., but at this only sold 1.132 bales; on Friday and Saturday holders evinced more anxiety to reduce their stocks, which have increased with heavy receipts very considerably during the week, but at the an nexed quotations buyers were unmindful of the urgent solicitations of holders; the sales of the first day only reached 306 bales, and the last day 484 bales, at an irregular decline for the week of %to %<*. We submit the following quotations, prefacing them with the remark— that difference of opinion exists as to the actual state of the market, the natural result of so small a business: in short, the market closes without a satisfactory understanding : QUOTATIONS: Low Middling 9)4 to 9% Middling 9% to 10 Strict Middling 10% to 10% Good Middling to 10% Middling Fair 10)4 to 10% Receipts. —Notwithstanding the interruption to the Mobile and Girard Rail Road, in conse quence of a recent accident by which the mo tive power of that Road has been materially re duced, they are 5,491, being an increase on the corresponding week of last year of 1,713 bales; the decrease is now reduced to 10,595 bales. Stock.— Continues to accumulate, in conse quence of the difficulty in shipping eastward. the Muscogee Rail Road, with an inadequate supply of cars from the other end, is taxed beyond its capacity. Some improvement in this respect is promised this ensuing week.

MEIGS, Agant. AMERICAN WATCHES, MADE BY THE American Watch Company, AT WALTHAM, MASS. A Iteration is invited to tbe following statement ■nd the accompanying letters of recommendation and testimonials of these celebrated Watches. A gold medal was awarded the Company by tbe Massachusetts Mechanical Association, 1856. A gold medal was also awarded them by tbe i American Institute at New York, in 1857. The Company also received the first premium— a gold medal—from the Franklin Institute, Phila delphia, in 1858. These watches have now been in the market for nearly ten years, daring which time they have t been tested as to accuracy, durability and rclia- { biltty, in every conceivable manner, and have proved themselves to be the most satisfactory time-pieces ever offered to the public. This result has been brought about by a strict application of mechanical science to the construc tion of the Watch from its very inception, render- j ing it, when finished, mathematically correct in all its proportions, and, necessarily, as perfect a-time- ; keeper as it is possible to make. The Company liavo tested their Watches, in many instances, by actual daily noting, and the result of this test has been that tticy hare exhibited a rate equal in regularity to the best Marine Chronom eter. The following certificates are from gentle men who have carried their Watches with them in their daily avocations, and are, therefore, rc-liable indications of what msy be expected from the American Watch when in ordinary active use : Letter from Paul Morphy, the celebrated Chess Player. New York, October 16th, 1869. Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.: Dear Sir:—The American watch, No. 9240, pre sented me by the New York Chess Club, has proved to be a most reliable and accurate time keeper—almost nnnecessarily so for ordinary pur poses It is now nearly five months since it came into my possession, and during that period its variation from standard time has been but a trifle more Ihnn halt a minute. The following is a record of its performance. It was set June 3d, correctly: June 15, fast 4 sec. Aug 15, f*st 18 sec. July 1, “ 6 “ Sept. 1, “ 23 “ “ 15, “10 l5, 2B “ Aug. 1, “ 18 “ Oct. 1, “ 32 “ I give you permission to make such use of this statement as you may think proper. I am, with respect, yours truly. PAUL MORPHY. Boston, Sept. 27th, 1859. Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.: Dear Sir :—lt gives me great pleasure to com ply with your request for a report of the perform ance of the American watch which I purchased of you Dec. 2d, 1858. It was set on that day, and its variation from true time to tho 19th of Febru ary, 1859, when 1 let it run down, was ten seconds fast. From that time to the present, it has run with nearly perfect steadiness, having, during the ; eight months, varied not more than two seconds, ’ and this with uncommonly rough usage I can commend yonr manufacture in the highest terms. Yours truly, JAMES H. CLAPP. Firm of Clapp, Fuller A Brown, Bankers, Boston. The following is from Mr. Porter, the well known Marine Chronometer and Watchmaker: Boston, Sept. 28 th, 1859. Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.: Dear Sir :—I have sold daring the last yuir a considerable number of watches of the Waltham manufacture, and am happy to ray that all of them, without exception, have fulfilled my guar anty, and have given satisfaction to the purcha sers. GEORGE E. PORTER. Willton Bluff, S. C., Oct. 20,1859. | K. E. Robbins, Esq.: Drar Sir: —The three watches of your manu facture which I purchased to be used on my plan tation, have proved to be the most correct time keepers I have over known. I gave my head servant, my head carpenter, and my head engi neer, each, oue of them; and since they have been in their respective possession, everything on the plantation has moved like clock-work, in consequence of the extreme accuracy and regu larity with which these watches perform. Truly yours, LEWIS MORRIS. Boston, Aug. 20th, 1859. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.: Dear Sir :—The “ Waltham,” which I purchased some six months since, has given entire satisfac tion. Its time has boen fully equal to tbat of a “ Frodsbnm,” which I owned more than a year. Truly yours, ALBERT METCALF, 65 Franklin st. Booh Room, 200 Mulberry street, New York, Oct. 6th, 1859. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.: Dear Sir :—I take great pleasure in being able to certify that for the last six months I have car ried a watch from the manufactory of the Ameri can Watch Company, and that it has given per fect satisfaction as a time-keeper. Judging from the one I have, I do not hesitate to predict that the day is not far distant when watches made in the United States will supercede all others. JAMES FLOY, D. D. Boston, Aug. 9th, 1859. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watbh Cos.: Dear Sir :—I take pleasure in stating that the American watch I have of your manufacture, performs to my entire satisfaction, running regu larly at the rate of thirty seconds fast per month. Capt. GORHAM 11. BASSETT. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos. : Dear Sir, —The watch I bought of you—one of your adjusted Chro. Bal. movements—runs to my entire satisfaction. For the past three months it has not varied more than one minute, and is now running at tbat rate. It has seen the hardest service in every way in point of locomotion. Yours truly, C. C. SHEAFE. j New Haven, Conn., Sept. 27th. R. K. Robbins, Esq.: Dear Sir :—Yours of the 23d was duly received. In reply I would say, that the American watch No. 6939, has proved itself one of the best watches for railway purposes. The American watch, in my opinion, is far bet ter than any watch I have used for the last four teen years on railroads. I remain, respectfully yours, G. A. FULLER, Conductor New Haven, Hartford and Springfield R. R. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.: DearStr:—The American watch that I pur chased of you about a year since, runs with great exactness ; its variations being so slight tbat I have not found it necessary to set it for several months. Yours truly, WM. B. SPEAR. CAUTION.—As onr Watch is now extensively counterfeited by foreign manufacturers, we have to inform the public that no Watch is of our pro duction which is unaccompanied by a certificate of genuineness, bearing the number of the Watch, i and signed by our Treasurer, K.

IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO SAY~ SINCE ALL, OLD AND YOUNG AFFIRM ITS TRUTH. VIZ: THAT Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative WILL preserve infallibly the growth and color of the hair, if used two or three times a week, to any imaginable ago. Perfectly restore the gray, cover tbe bald with nature’s own orna ment, the hair; make it more soft and beautiful than any oil, and preserve the scalp free from all diseases to the.greatest age. Statesmen, Judges, Attorneys, Doctors, Clergymen, Professional men, and Gentlemen and Ladies of all classes, all over the world, bear testimony that we do not say too much in its favor. Head the tollowiug, and judge: Hickory Grove, St. Charles Cos., Nov. 19, 1867. Prof. O. J. Wood— Dear Sir: Some time last summer we were induced to use some of your Hair Restorative, and its effects were so wonderful we feel it our duty, to you and the afflicted, to re port it. Our little son’s head for some time had been pei fectiy covered with sores, and some calied it scald head. The hair almost entirely came off in consequence, when a friend, seeing his sufferings, advised us to use your Restorative, we did so with little hope of success, but to our surprise, and that of all our friends, a very few applications re moved the disease entirely, and anew and luxr riant crop of hair soon started out, and we can uow ssy that our boy has as healthy a scalp, aud as luxuriant a crop of hair as any other child. We can, therefore, and do hereby, recommend your Restorative, as a perfect remedy for ail diseases of the scalp and hair. We are yours re spectfully, GEO. W. HIQGENBOTHAM, SARAH A. lIIGGENBOTHAM. Prof. Wood — Dear Sir: My hair had, for sev eral years, boon becoming prematurely gray, ac companied by a harshness which rendered the constant application of oil necessary in dressing it. When I oommenced using your Hair Restorative about two months ago it was in that coudition; aud having continued the use till w ithin the last three weeks, it hag turned to its natural color, and assumed a softness and lustre greatly to be preferred to those produced by the application of oils or auy other preparation I have ever used. I regard it as an indispensable article for every la dy’s toilet, whether to be used ns a Hair Restora tive or for tho simple purpose of dressing or beau tifying tbe hair. You have permission to refer to me all who entertain auy doubt ol its performing all that is claimed for it. MRS. C. SYMONDS. Cincinnati, Ohio. Feb. 10,1857. 114 Third st. Wellington, Mo., Dec. 6,1857. Prof. Wood—Dear Sir: By theadvieeof a friend of mine, who had been using your Hair Restora tive, I was induced to try it. I had the fever, some time last May, and nearly every hair is my head came out. Now my hair has come in a great deal thicker than everit was. Nothing but a duty and sympathy that 1 feel to communicate to oth ers who are afflicted as I have been, would induce me to give this public acknowledgement of the benefit I have received from Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative. Yonrs respectfully. A. R. JACOBS. The Restorative is put up in bottles of 3 sizes, viz: large, medium and small; thesmall bolds a pint and retails for one dollar per bottle; the medium bolds at least twenty per cent, more in proportion than the small, retails for two dollars per bottle; the large holds a quart. 4b per cent, more iu proportion, and retails for (3 a bottle.

WINSLOW, An experienced Nurse and Female Physician, pre seats to the attention of mothers, her SOOTHING SYRUP, For Children Teething, which greatly facilitates the process of teething, by softening the gums, reducing all inflammation —will allay all pain and spasmodic action.and is Sure to Regulate the Bowels. Depend upon it mothers, it will give rest to yourselves and Relief and Health to your Infants. WE have put up • and sold this article for over ten Qj years, and can say, in confidence and truth of it, what we have never been able to say of any other medicine— NEVEß HAS IT FAIL ED, IN A SIN- Qrj GLE instance, to Effect a CURE, when timely used.— Never did we know an instance of dissatis faction by any one who used it. On the contrary, all are do- rf\ lighted with its opera tions, and speak in teims of highest com mendation of its magi- cal effects and medical virtues. Me speak in this matter “what we do know,” af- rK ter ten years’ experi ence, and pledge w our reputation for the fulfilment of what we here de clare. lnalinostev- F-4 ery instance where the infant is suffering from pain and exhaus tion, relief will be found in fifteen or twenty minutes after LQ the Syrup is adminis tered. This valuable prepa- ration is the prescrip tion of one of the most experienced and skillful Nurses in New England,and has been used with never failing success in THOUSANDS OF CASES. It not only relieves the child from pain, but invigorates the stomach and bowels, corrects acidity, and gives tone and energy to the whole system. JQ It will almost instant ly relieve r. Griping in the t> Bowels, and WIND P* COLIC, and overcome convulsions, which if not speedily remedied end in death. Me believe it the best and sur- J est remedy in the world, in all cases of Dysentery and Diarrhcee in Chil- Xfl dren, whether it arises from teething, or from any other cause. M T e would say 2j to every mother who has a child suffering from any of the fore goingcomplaints—do not let your pre judices, nor the prejudices of oth ers, stand between your suffering child and the relief that will be SURE—yes, ab solutely SURE — to follow the use of this medicine, if time- .ly used.
