WEST POINT, May 22.-Thirty soldiers of the Sapper Corps deserted on account of alleged harsh treatment. Tho Go? vernment has offered fifty dollars each fdr their capture. A large number of the poorer citizens of West Point have joined tho soldiers in pursuit. PHILADELPHIA, May 22.-The spirit of the General Assembly of tho Presbyte? rian Church, in session in Philadelphia, in reference to organic union with the Southern Presbyterian Church, is most favorable, and of a cordial character, as was evident when" resolutions were intro? duced, and made still moro manifest by utterances of prominent ministers. The sentiment seems to bo unanimous. It was particularly noticeablo in eloquent S'assag?s of Dr. McCosh's discourse to? ny, in Assembly Church. He said dele? gates will be sent to tho General Assem? bly sitting in Louisville, to convey the salutation of the Assembly here, and ?ireseut resolutions that were uuanimous y adopted. Tho delegates who will bo Bent are spoken of as men of great libe? rality of sentiment, aud notwithstand? ing they have been prominent men in Northern Assemblies, will still faith? fully represent tho earnest desire of tho Assembly for re-union. NEW YOBK, May 23.-Tho cotton movement for the past week is larger, both in receipts and exports; receipts at all points, 44,055 Indes, against 38,220 last week, 57,836 previous week, and 50,504 three weeks since; recoipls at all ports for tho expired portion of cotton year, 2,719,023, against 2,020,025 for the corresponding period last year, showing au increase of 098,771 bales; exports from all ports 45,787, against 51,240 lost week and 41,020 for same week last year. Total exports of unex? pired portion of tho year is estimated at 1,884,933, against 1,318,952 for tho cor respoding period last year. Receipts for the past week exceed tho previous week 5,000, but exports fall off in a cor? responding degree; receipts at tho ports in immediate future will depend some? what on tho prospects of tho growing plant. If tho crop promises well, plant? eurs will market tho balance of tho crop rapidly; but should the new crop meet serious drawbacks, and there are already complaints from some sections, planters will hold cotton for botter prices. Tho bulk of cottou has beeu marketed, and tho season is drawing rapidly to a close. Bankers have advanced tho rates of sterling, in consequence of the falling off in exports, to within a fraction of tho specie shipping point for gold coin. Already Canada coin has gone forward, and on Saturday the stoamer Dauan took $350,000 in gold bars. This shows an important bearing of tho cotton trade ou foreign exchange, and is likely to bo fur? ther illustrated iu tho immediate future. Government's aro relatively higher hero than in Europe, and railroad securities have received a severo blow on tho other side; this leaves the country tho alterna? tive of shipping of other produce than - cotton to lill tho gap, or to ship gold. As an instance of tho dullness of export.?, some European steamers have gouo out with stone ballast, owing to tho small amount of freight and low rates. Stock of cotton at all the ports 317,519, against 322,399 last week, and 188,810 this week last year. Stock in interior towns is 59,709, against 03,715 last week, and 31,572 this week last year. Stock iu Liverpool 590,000, against 383,000 last year. Stock of American cotton aflwat for Liverpool was 122,000, against 184,000 last year. Stock of India cotton afloat for Europe 197,000, against 448,000 last year. Begarding tho now crop, advices are generally favorable, though some complaints of cold and unfavorable wea? ther. Estimates of tho now crop were somewhat decreased during the week. HAMILTON, May 24.-The Ontario train of Pullman cars, with tho Boston Board of Trade, passed to day, at tho rate of fifty milos an hour. The Trans? continental, a morning newspaper, is published on thc train. BJiBKBH ST. LOUIS, May 24.-There has been a lightning storm in this vicinity. As far as heard, thrco persons have been killed.

Tho Committee of Conferenoe, on tue bill enforcing the fifteenth amendment, agreed upon u report, which was signed by Senators Stewart and Edmonds, Representatives Bingham and Davis Senator Stocktou and Rcprescutivc Kerr declining to sign it. The principal amendments aro on tho thirteenth nnd twenty-first sections, aud they do not alter the general sense of the bill, but make it moro explicit.

Nov 3_WM. A. WRIOTTT. WALTHAM WATCHES. THE extensive uso of theao WATCHES for thc last lifteon years by Railway Conductors, Engineers and Exproaomcn, thcmoBt exacting of watcb-wearorS) has thoroughly demouatrat cd tho strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy of tho Waltham Watch. To satisfy that chins in all t liceo respects, is to decide tho question as to the real value of these time? keepers. Moro than -450,000 of these watohes aro now speaking for themselves in tho pockets of tho people-a proof and a guarantee of their superiority over all others. The superior organization and great extent of tho Company's Works at Waltham, enable them to produce watches at a prico which renders competiotion futile, and those who buy auy other watch, merely pay from 25 to 50 per cent, moro for their watches than is necessary. Wo aro now selling Waltham Watches at less prices in greenbacks, than tho gold priceB before thc war. There ia no other manufac? ture of any kind in tho United States of which this can bo aaid. 'lheso timc-piecca combine every improve? ment that a long experience bas proved of roal practical use. Having had the refusal of nearly evory invention in watoh-makiug origi? nating in this country or in Europe, only those weru finally adopted which severo tosting, by thc moat skillful artiaans in our worka, and longUBC on tho part of tho public, demonstrat? ed to bo essential to correct and enduring time-keeping. Among tho many improvements wc would particularize: Thc invention and use of a centre-pinion of peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the train by tho breakage of main-springs, is original with tho American Watch Company, who, having had tho refusal of nil other con? trivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion ns he ing the heat and faultless. Hardened and tempered hair springs, now universally admitted hy watch-makers to bc tho best, are used in all grades of Waltham Watches. All Waltham Watchos havo dust-proof caps, protecting thc movement from dust and les? sening thc necessity of tho frequent cleaning necessary in other watches. Our now patent stom-winder, or keyless watch, is already a decided success, and a groat improvement on any stem-winding watch in the American market, and by far thc cheap cat watch of its quality now offered to the public. To those living in portions of the United States whero watch-makers do not abound, watches with tho above mentioned improvements which tend to insuro accuracy, cleanliness, durability and convenience, must provo invaluable. Every watch guaranteed hy tho Company. To prevent imposition, buyers should ace that every watch should bear cither of tho following trado marks: American Watch Co.Waltham, Mass Am'n. Watch Co.Waltham, Mass American Watch Co., Crescent St. .Waltham, Mass Appleton, Tracy A Co.Waltham, Mass Waltham Watch Co.Waltham, Maes P. S.
