We were not many—we who stood Before the iron sleet that dsy, Yet many a gallant spirit would Give half his years, if he but could Have been with us at Monterey. Now here, now- there, the shot it hailed In deadly drifts of fiery spray, Yet not a single soldier quailed When wounded comrades round them wailed, Their dying shout at Monterey. And on, still our column kept Through wall of flame its withering way, Where fell the dead, the living stept, Still charging on the guns which swept The slippery streets of Monterey. The foe himself recoiled aghast, When, striking where he strongest lay. We swooped his flanging batteries past, And braving full their murderous blast, Stormed home the tutvers of Monterey. Our banners oil these turrets wave, And there one evening bugles play; Where orange boughs above their grave Keep green the memory of the brave Who fought and fell at Monterey. We are not many—we who press’d Besides the brave who fell that day; But who of us has not confessed He’d rather share their warrior rest, Than not have been at Monterey. The Yumbrr Seven. In six days creation was perfected, and the 7th was consecrated to rest. On the 7th of the 7th month a holy observance was ordained to the chil dren of Israel, who fasted 7 days and remained 7 days in tents: the 7th year was directed to be a sabbath of rest for all tilings; and at the end of 7 times? years commenced the grand Jubilee; every 7th year the land lay fallow ; every 7th year theie was a general release from all debts, and all bondsmen set free. From this law may have originated the custom of binding young men to 7 years apprenticeship, and of punishing incorrigi ble offenders by transportation for 7, twice 7, or three times 7 years; every 7th year the law was directed to be read to the people: Jacob served 7 years for tbe possession of Rachel, and also another 7 years; Noali had 7 days warning of the flood, and was commanded to take the fowls of the air into the ark by sevens, and tiie clean beasts by sevens; the ark touched the ground on the 7th month: aud in 7 days a drove was sent; aud again in 7 days after. The 7 years of plenty and the 7 years of famine were foretold in Pharaoh’s dreams, by the 7 fat and the 7 lean beasts; and the? ears of full corn and the 7 ears of blasted corn. The young animals were to remain with the dam 7 days and at the close of the 7tli taken away. By the old law man was commanded to forgive his offending brother 7 times; but the meekness of the last revealed religion extended his humility and for bearance to 70 times 7 times. “If Cain shall he revenged 7 fold, truly Lantech 70 times 7.'’ In the destruction of Jericho, priests bore 7 trumpets 7 days; on the 7th day surrounded the walls 7 times, and after the 7th time the wall fell. Balaam prepared 7 bullocks and 7 rams for a sacrifice; 7 of Saul’s sons were hanged to stay a famine; Laban pursued Jacob 7 days journey; Job’s friends sat with him 7 days and 7 nights and offerred 7 bullocks and 7 rams as an atonement for their wickedness; David in bringing up the ark, offered 7 bullocks aud 7 rams; Elijah sent his servant 7 times to look for the cloud; Hezekiah, in cleans ing the temple, offered 7 bullocks and 7 rams and 7 lie goats for a sin offering. The children of Israel, when Hezekiah, took away the strang altars, kept the feast of unleavened bread 7 days, and again other 7 days. King Ahasuerus had 7 chamber lains, a 7 days feast, and sent for tbe queen ou the 7th day: and iu the ?th year of his reign, she was taken to him. Queen Esther had 7 maids to at tend her. Solomon was 7 years building the temple, at the dedication of which he feasted 7 days; in the tabernacle was 7 lamps; 7 days were appointed for an atonement upon the altar, and the priest’s sou was ordained to wear his father’s gar ment? days; the children of Israel ate unleavened bread 7 days; Abraham gave 7 ewe lambs to Abimelech as a memorial fora well; Joseph mourn ed 7 days for Jacob. The rabbins say, God em ployed the power of answering this number to perfect greatness of Samuel, his name answering the value of the letters in the Hebrew word, which signify 7-wlience Hannah, his mother, in her thanks, says “that the barren had brought forth 7th.’’ In Scripture are enumerated 7 resurrec tions; the widow’s son, by Elias; the Shunamite’s son, by Elisha; the soldier who touched the bones of the prophet; the daughter of the ruler of the synagogue; the widow’s son of Nain; Lazarus, and our blessed Lord. Out of Mary Magdalene was cast 7 devils. The apostles chose 7 deacons. Enoch, who was translated, was the 7th after Adam, and Jesus Christ the 77th in a direct line. Our Saviour spoke 7 times from the cross, on which he remained 7 hours; lie appeared 7 times: after 7 times 7 days, sent the Holy Ghost. In the Lord’s Prayer are 7 petitions expressed in 7 times 7 words, omitting those of mere gram matical connexion, Within this number are con tained all the mysteries of the Apocalypse, re vealed to the 7 churches of Asia; there appeared 7 golden-candlesticks, and 7 stars in the hand of him that was in the midst; 7 lamps being the 7 spirits of God. The book with 7 seals; 7 kings. 7 thunders, 7 thousand men slain. The dragon with 7 heads, and the 7 angels bearing 7 vials of wrath. The vision of Daniel 70 weeks. The fiery furnace was made 7 times hotter for hhadrach, Meshach and Abednego; Nebuchahnezzar ate the grass of the field 7 years. The elders of Israel were 70.— There are also numbered 7 heavens, 7 planets, 7 stars, 7 wise men, 7 champions of Christendom, 7 uutes in music,? primary colors 7 deadly sins, 7 sacraments, in the Roman Catholic Church The 7t.h son was considered as endowed with pre eminent wisdom; the 7th son of a 7th son is still thought by some to posssess the power of healing diseases spontaneously. Perfection is linked to gold 7 times purified in the fire; aud we yet say "you frighten me out of my 7 senses.” Ancient ly a child was not named before 7 days, not beiug accounted fully to have life before that periodical day. The teeth spring out in the 7th month, and are shed, and renewed in the 7th year when in fancy is changed into childhood. At thrice 7 years the faculties are developed, manhood commences, and we become legally competent to all civil acts: at four times 7 man is in the full possession of his strength; at five times 7 ho is fit for business of the world; at six times 7 he becomes grave and wise, nor never; at? times 7 he is in his apogee, and from that time he decays. At eight times 7 he is’ in liia first climacteric; at nine times 7, or 63, he is in his grand climacteric, or year of danger; and ten times 7, or three score years and ten, has by the Royal Prophet been pronounced the natural period of human life. There weie 7 chiefs before Thebes. The lilood was to be sprinkled 7 times before tiie altar; Namau was to be dipped 7 times in Jordan; ApuIcing speaks of dipping of the head 7 times in the sea for purification. In all solemn rites of purgation, dedication and consecration, the oil or water was 7 times sprinkled. The house of wisdom, in Proverbs, had 7 pillars. Gymnastic Feats In California, Frank Wheeler, of the Pioneer Gymnasium, worked ten consecutive hours at wliat is called in gymnasiums a breast box. The weights which he lifted weighed 14.j pounds, and lie pulled them, one after the other, right and left. He thus lifted 14 i pounds 56,617 times, or, as the tally was kept:— 1st hour 2d “ 3d “ 4th “ 5th “ 6th “ 7th “ 8th “ 9th “ 10th “ Total, 6,250 times. 5.850 “ 6,660 “ 6,400 “ 5,612 “ 5,370 “ 5,690 “ 4,775 “ 5,475 “ 6,535 “ 58,617 Savannah,Ga . Aug24, 1858. HARDWICK St CO. 13 8t. At the conclusion of the feat, Wheeler made a little speecli saying that he lmd done the work, not on a wager," hut to show the subscribers what a man trained to gymnastic exercises could do. He commenced work at 7 o'clock A. M., then weighing 1754 pounds. He was fed on broiled beef while at” work, by attendants, and drank several glasses of champagne wine, and was oc casionally rubbed with coarse towels. He was stripped to the waist, and sat at his labor. At the end of the ten hours, at 5 o’clock, he was again weighed, and was found to weigh 1714 pounds, having lost four pounds by perspiration, as it is supposed. A printer named Moody, lifted 14 pound weights 27,727 times at the Plaza Gymnasium, in five hours and a quarter, some time ago, and this last feat seems to have originated in a desire to excel that feat and bring up the fame of the Pioneer. It is said Moody will now attempt to excel the last work. Moral Courage.—Have the courage to acknowl- edge your age to a Hay, and compare with the average life of man.

The establishment of a complete manufactory for the production of American watehea of uniform And unfailing- excellence ai timykaanera. marka «n era in onr mechanical progress wmeh prom- ises to revolutionize the watch trade of the world. After yews of continued and costly experiment, under the direction of Mr A L Dennison and Messrs Appleton, Tracy A Co., a complete and comprehensive watch manufactory has been made permanent at Waltham, Mass., where patent le vers, adjusted chronometer balances, and un- eqnaled timing pieces and movements, are pro duced by the aid of machinery and intelligent skill that will in ail respects compare with the finest work of the most famous artisans of Eu rope. The highest perfection of form with the completest simplicity of parts, have been adopted, so that durability and reliability are the uniform and necessary characteristics of the Waltham watches. Hitherto England and Switzerland have been the watchmakers of the world. Coventry and Prescott in Lancashire and Warwickshire in Eng land, und Locle and La Chaux de Fends in the northern cautons of Switzerland, by Lake Gene va, have been aud are the world’s famed seats of watch manufacture; but now it seems that Wal tham, Mass., has surpassad these old world com petitors, and with machinery, system, intelligent skill, unaided by protection of any kind, already produces the most thoroughly exact time-keep ers. at about half the cost of the best foreign watches. All imported watches are made by hand, tha movements and parts of movements by different persons, and at different times and places; and each watch is finally finished with special refer ence to itself—every part being made to suit only one place, and the whole movement fitted to a case which will suit no other movement—no two watches being in all respects approxomately alike. A large majority of these watches are worthless, as timekeepers, aud a constant bill of expense to their owners, over $5,000,000 being annually thrown away in vain attempts to improve them. The American watches are constructed upon the most scientific and approved principles, design ed to secure uniformity, simplicity, durability, cheapness and unvarying perfection of movement, and are sold with a certificate of warranty in all cases, for ten years, signed by the manufacturers. The specific advantages of the Waltham watch es to dealers and wearers,as compared with tbe best imported watches,will be most readily apprehended by the following enumeration, to wit: Each watch, and each part of every watch of a given style,is the unvarying counterpart of every watch of the same style, so that any single part exactly fitted, and may bo transposed indiscriminately to make lip any one of any number of watches The move ments are made to fit any one of any number of cases, thus enabling the dealer to keep a large and varied stock of movements with a limited number of cares, to suit the demands of trade. The ease and facility with which any pari can be restored when broken or lost by accident— part being registered at the factory—a counterpart can be lmd tor the mere cost of reproduction, and with whole movements changed, and sent by mail or express to auy part of the world. Dealers are thus brought directly in contact with the manu facturer, and a single retail profit is the only added cost to the wearer, to manufactur’s prices. There is no article of common use that is so lit tle understood, and about which so much decep tion, charlatanism, and swindling may be and is continually practiced as attaches to the watch; and it wilt be a great comfort to honest dealers and legitimate buyers and wearers, to know that they can have a substantial and reliable pocket time keeper, at a moderate price, made at home, and about which there can be no deception or mistake that may not be easily, promptly, and cheaply remedied. In many parts of the country great difficulty is experienced in finding good watch repairers and reliable time keepers. By the introduction of Amer ican watches this difficulty may be almost entirely obviated; so that the country merchant can obtain adjusted watches as a part of his miscellaneous stock, and tbe customer will buy his regulated time-keeper, wind it up, aud go about his business as he would after puichasiug any other article without mystery or humbug. The watches have fewer parts, are more substan tially made than any others, are easily kept clean, and the chances for failure by breakage are dimin ished four-fifths as compared with the English watch, which has upward of eight hundred sepa rate parts, while the American watch has but one hundred and twenty-five parts, and most of these are so substantial, and all so perfect, that it would be very difficult to break them. The Waltham watches are eminently adapted for railroad purposes, where exact time is of the ut most importance, and when the continuous jar of the moving train offers the most trying test to prove the quality of a watch as a time keeper.— Many eminent engineers and conductors on the leading railroads of the country have been sup plied with these watches and now will have no other. The manufacturers, with their present means, can furnish 20,000 watches per annum, and they intend to furnish, from time to time, as the wants of the trade may require, other styles and sizes of watches, including an entire new form of sporting or timing watch, which will indicate the minutest divisions ot time with more accuracy than has ever before been attained. Arrangements are now being made to supply small and elegantly finished watches for ladies. The manufactory stands on the banka of Charles River and occupies a site of surpassing beauty, covering an area of one hundred feet square, form ing a quadrangle with an open court in the center. The building is two stories in heighth and has eight hundred feet of floor line, with about sixteen hundred feet of bench line, for the accommodation of tie one hundred male and female artisans em ployed. The motive power is a twelve-horse steam en gine which gives motion to lines qf shaft ing in all the rooms, to which are attached the number of delicate and wonderful machines which are used in the various processes of manufacture. Appleton, Tracy & Co. have added about a hun dred acres adjoining their manufactory, which af fords admirable locations for home sites for their workmen, several of whom have already pur chased lots and erected comfortable homes iu the immediate vicinity ot the manufactory. Every facility is afforded to encourage and at tract the attention of skillful workmen, tvhoare here offered largely remunerative wages and con stant employment, under the most pleasant con ditions, with an opportunity, in a few years, of se curing a competency and an independent home, with other advantages and attractions such as are nowhere else to be found, Among the remarkable transformations in the Value of materials by the addition of labor we were shown, while visiting the establishment of SMessis. Appleton, Tracy &. Co , a pound of steel, originally worth fifty cents, which had been made jnto 100,000 small screws, worth $1,100, and when jiold with watch movements set up, would realize nearly $10,000. About one half of the artizans employed are young women, and many of them demonstrate beyond all doubt that the delicate skill of woman is equal to any emergency of this wonderful manufacture: where pinions and jewels are measured to the ter. tbonsandeth part of an inch by means of a guage of the most exact nice ty- The following we find in a morning paper of New York city: The latest attempt to introduce an important do mestic staple into our own market, and into tho markets of the world, is that of the Waltham Watch, manufactured at Waltham, Mass., by the aid of machinery and intelligently directed skill, under the auspices of Appleton, Tracy A Co. It would he interesting to detail the inception and development of this new enterprise, but we can only speak of it from its commercial stand point, and of its probable bearings upon foreign importation. For a number of years past we have imported, chiefly from English and Swiss manufacturers, watches, parts of watches and watch materials, to tlieamount of more tlitu $5,000,000 annually.— A large proportion of these watches have been de fective, and a large number of them worthless, all being made by handicraft, under the pressure of on active competition in prices, and by discon nected processes; no other result could have been reasonably expected. Tbe moral effect of this vast influx of worthless watclies has been excessively injurious—in fact, the watch has become a basis and a bye-word lor all sorts of cheating and petty dishonesty among us. The time has fully come for the introduction of American watclies, and we should not be sur prised to witness a complete revolution in tho watch trade of this country within the next five years, aud see American watches successfully com pete with the best English and Swiss watches in European markets.
