No ono can Lave kinder feeliDgs towards
the peo[)le of the South than the
writer of this communication, but not
even President Johnson himself can be
firmer in his belief that the principal
traitors?the military and political leaders?should
suffer the extreme penalties
of the laws now re-established throughout
the land.?Army and Xary Journal.
Tlio following General Order was obtained
by Dr. E. if. Bieber from one of
the Union prisoners who lately arrived
within our lines at Jacksonville, Fla.?
Not only this order, but the condition of
the three or four thousand poor fellows
who have recently passed through this
Department on their way home from
the rebel prison pens, is an evidence of
the " high civilization " of "the Christian
people of the Confederate States."

General Order, )
No. 2. )
1. In consequence of a recent meeting
and attempted escape of prisoners from
tho military prison of Cahawba, Ala., it
is ordered: That, if any prisoner or
prisoners of war confined in any of the
military prisons in the States of Georgia,
Alabama, or Mississippi shall engage in
any meeting, or attempt by force t? escape,
the guard shall instantly tire upon
tho mutineers and, if necessary, upon
tho whole body of prisoners until penect
order is restored, and every prisoner
found with arms in his hands at the time
of any meeting or possible attempt to escape
shall be instantly shot to death, and
this penalty will in no case be remitted
where such armed prisoners are overpowered
by surrendering to the guard on
the suppression of a meeting.
II. The Prigadicr-General commanding
directs that all prisoners of war who
conduct themselves in an orderly manner
hall be treated with that humanity becoming
the Christian people of th6 Confederate
States, who, notwithstanding the
barbarous atrocities inflicted upon them
by a cruel and merciless foe has not yet
learned to forget-their own high civiliza

those confined in the prisons of this Department,
and their own conduct will
then determine whether their lives are
spared or not.

18 THE BEST.
It is made on tho best principle, while the foreign
watch is generally made on no principle at
ali. The foreign watch is mostly made by women
and boys, by hakd. While their labor is cheap, !
their work is dear at any price. Such watches
arc made without plan, and sold without guarantee.
Thoy are irregular in construction, and quite
as irregular in movement They are designed
only to sell and the buyer is the party moat
thoroughly sold. Those who have kept "ancres,"
"lepine.-,". and "Swiss levers" in professed repair
lor a few years will appreciate tho truth of
our statement
THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH.
Instead of being made of several hundred little
pieces screwed together, the body of the
American watch is formed of SOLID PLATES.?
No jar interferes with the harmony of its working,
and no sudden shock can throw its machinery
out of gear. In riding, or any business pursuit,
it is^ill held together as firmly as a single piece
of metal. It is just what all machinery should

? U uui UUI) ncturv oy OUT system, I
but Quality. Y.'e do not pretend that our Watch
can be bought for less money than the foreign j
make-believes, but that for its real value it is sold i
for one-half the price.
OUR SOLDIER'S WATCH (named Wm. Ellery)
is what its name indicates?Solid, Substantial,
and always Reliable?waranted to stand any j
amount cf marching, riding or fighting.
OCR NEXT HIGHER QUALITY OF WATCH '
(named P. 8. Bartlett) is similar in size and gen-1
oral appearance, but has more jewels, and a more J
elaborate finish.
OUR LADLES' WATCH, recently brought out, !
is put up in a great variety of patterns, many of |
them of rare beauty and workmanship, is quite
small, but wan-anted to keep time.
THE PROOF of the merits of ourwntchmaybe
found in'ihc fact that we now employ over seven ].
hundred workmen in our factories, and that we
ire still unable to supply the constantly increasing
demand.
OUR THREE-QUAP.TER PLATE WATCH is
thiner and lighter tlun the others we have
Inscribed. Its fiue chronometer balance is deli
:r.te;y adjusted to correct the variation caused by j1
jbangea of temperature. These watci.cs are the
'raits of the latest inventions in chronometiy,
in:l are made by oar best workmen, in a separate J
lepartrucnt of onr factory. For the finest time-1
rceping qualities they challauge comparison with ,
he best works of the most famous English and !
Jwiss makers. ''
