Coppei'lieadism vs. Patriotism.
The Philadelphia Age, a paper which
during the war sided with the Southern
rebels as far as it dared and evidently do-1
sired the triumph of the secessionists, last
week published the following editorial
paragraph:
" We put it to the sober thoughts of the j
people of Pennsylvania, whether they
would not have all thesegrave impending :
questions decided according to law, and j
not according to war, just 111 fact as they j
would have been decided had they arisen '
eight years ago, or had no war taken !
jila.ee.' 7 • |
The Age is recognized as the leading
organ of democracy in the State, and we
therefore commend the above unpatriotic
sentiments to those democrats who are fol
lowing the tenets of that blue-light sheet.
. Let us see what would have been our con
dition had Abraham Lincoln proved as
faithless to his oath of office as did James
Buchanan, and let the Davises, the Breck
inridges, the Stephenses, the Tombses,
the Pryors, the Wises and other traitors
have had their way. 11 is true there would]
have been no war JUST THEN ; but where
would our boundary be? The rebels;
claimed Maryland, Tennessee, and Ken
tucky, To have no war, let them go, says
the tory copperhead! Washington City
is in the District, and the district is in Ma
ryland. To have 110 war, let it go, says;
the tory copperhead. Next, the whole
world would have ridiculed the giant
North and West as a race of cowards, un
lit to govern either themselves or any
body else. All right, saysth c democratic
Age! After that, His Highness Jef Da
vis would have demanded one-half pf the
Navy, a division of the public lands, and
perhaps modestly asked us to pay his ex
penses in preparing for war. Don't goto
war, the patriotic Age would say—better
do all th is than create taxes and debts.—
Then some day a few runaway slaves, j
panting for freedom, would cross the j
Pennsylvania line, followed by a hundred
or two of chivalrous dealers in human ,
flesh and blood, and failing to catch their;
property , would make reprisals on the!
live stock of half a dozen farmers and |
drive it off. Bear it patiently with Chris- \
tian forbearance, .says the democratic Age;
you ought to watch and catch these run
away negroes, and keep them safe until
our Southern brethren called. *fhen too,
when the South would become a semi
monarchy, with its dukes, earls, lords and
ladies, they might get an idea that an im
aginary line is not a good boundary for the
Southern Confederacy ; the Susquehanna
river, the Alleghany mountain, or even
the Lakes, are more natural, it would!
be better to submit, the Age would say,;
than go to war!
Such is modern democracy! Compare!
it with the democracy of the old Hero of (
New Orleans, and the impartial, reflect-'
ing man will find that the measures of j
the republican party, in the hour of our
trial, were the democracy of Gen. Jack
son in 1832-3.

The Reconstruction Kill.
Oil Saturday last the Conference Com
mittees of the Senate and House agreed
on the following bill, which passed the
Senate by a vote of 31 to 6, and the House,
by 110 to 23.
Mr. Johnson of Maryland said he had
voted for the original bills, and had seen
no reason to change his opinion since; he
voted for them because lie believed that
under them the South would be restored
to the Union. He thought so still; lie
thought it would be restored without
any. additional legislation. He should
vote for the report of the conference com
mittee. If he should vote against it, it
I might be that a more objectionable bill
would be passed. He hoped this would
be the last legislation that would be ne
: cessary to restore the Union, and lie looked
| to an early restoration of fraternal feeling
1 among the people.
Mr. Buekalew said the report was more
favorable than he expected, but when lie
i came to record his vote he could not vote
: iu the affirmative, because he was opposed
!to the entire principles of the bill. [He
! might have added that he was also op
i posed to the war and in favor of letting
Jef Davis do as he liked.]
Mr. Cameron said if the executive offi
eerof the Government had let well enough
alone there would have been no necessity
for this legislation. He voted for this bill
with a desire that it should be an end of
such matters, but if the rebels were de
termined not to take it, Congress would
come back and give them something else.
If this did not satisfy them then lie should
for one be willing to come back and legis
late tliein into Congress.

American Naßufaclurce.—The Ameri
can VVatcli Company of Waltham,
Uasaucliusctta.
Our readers know that the best mech
inisni of the best manufactories of this
; -oilntry is unsurpassed anywhere in the
i world. The genius of American invent
ors and mechanics produced the cotton
| rin, the mechanical reaper and mower,
j the sewing machine, the best telegraphic
| instruments, and last, but not least, the
! wonderful machinery of the American
! Watch Company of Waltham, Mass., a
neehanism that takes hold of the raw
material—the brass and steel, and gold,
md precious stones, and under competent
lirection turns out that daily wonder and
necessity —a perfect time-keeper.
Beginning in 1850 in a very moderate
way, but with the determination to make
lone but thoroughly good watches, the
Company have continued to enlarge their
works from year to year, (its they wen
inable to supply the demand,) until now
hey manufacture about one-half of all
he watches sold in the United States.
Their factory covers over three acres o'
• round, and as an illustration of its ex
eiit, we may mention that it is supplied
with over sixty miles of iron pipes. These
watches have proved so reliable that sev
eral of the railways of the country now
ur'nish them as a partof theirequipment:
ind while recommending other lines to
ulopt the same precaution against aeci
ients, the editor of the Boston Railway
Times remarks: " We have carried one
>f these watches for the past four years,
md although it has had to submit to
I -ough usage in camp life, horseback ri
j ling, & •., we do not hesitate to say that
j .t is the best time-keeper and less expen
j live to keep in order than any watch we
iver carried." The Company's success
;ias stimulated the manufacture and int
portation of many worthless counterfeits
j IO that buyers should be careful to se
] :hat they obtain the genuine American
! watch made at Waltham.

Naples—ltalian Skies—Bap of Naples—
A City of Churches —Mt. Vesuvius —The
Ascent —The Crater —Pompeii and llcr
culaneum —The Museum, etc.
NAPLES, June 10, 1867.
At midnight of Friday last we arrived j
in this celebrated city. We are stopping .
at a line hotel, the windows of my room ;
1 commanding views of both Vesuvius and !
the Bay. The weather is not near so hot
|iis we expected to tlnd it in this southern
• climate. I have experienced much warm
er at this season of the year at home. I
| am somewhat disappointed in the appear
ance of the scenery of this noted locality,
jlndeed, Italy, on the whole, though itj
lias been called "the land of poets and
i painters," falls far behind my expecta
tions. The "charming Italian skies," of
which you have heard so much, are for
' the most part, the creation of imaginative
Englishmen, who are accustomed to al
ways seeing the sun through a fog in their
own country, and of course would go into'
I ecstacies anywhere over a sun-set viewed ]
through a clear and transparent atmos-i
phere. Excepting works of art, there is
j nothing in all Europe to compare with
the natural attractions of America, and Ij
predict that the day is not far distant
I when Europeans will flock to our conti-1
i nent as Americans now do this.
! Naples is situated on the north coast of |
I a bay which has the reputation of being;
i the most beautiful sheet of water in the i
; world. The entire shore is lined with '
j cities and towns, of which this city is the
j largest. Vineyards, orange and lemon
I groves, and white villas, dot the whole
I country around. Thebuildingsof Naples)
j ire magnificent. There are over three
hundred Catholic churches here. There
is but one Protestant church, in which
service is conducted in Italian. Notwith
standing the great number of churches,;
and tiie apparent devotion of the multi
tudes who frequent them, there is little I
real reverence displayed for religion. Yes-!
t-rday was the Sabbath. We had no
other means of knowing it hut by the date
upon which it occurred. Stores and mar-:
kets were open; horses, mules, wagons j
uid carriages thronged the streets; every
body and everything was on the go. Sab
bath quiet, domestic tranquility and com
fort, and the blessings of good govern
ment are all unknown in this land. Again
tnd again, in my passing observations!
j liming this people, have I had cause to!
thank my God that I was born in free and
happy America.
The crowning glory of this locality is
the great volcano, Mr. Vesuvius, which
rises a vast green cone from the midst of
the plain, constantly emitting from its
•rater a stream of smoke, which presents
the appearance of a pillar of cloud by day !
j md of tire by night. At two o'clock this!
i norning we started out to make the as-J
| cent of the mountain, choosing that hour'
!to avoid the iieat of the day. There is a
j carriage road as far as what is called the
j Hermitage, a small house where an old
| monk used to dwell. From here mules'
| oid donkeys are employed to carry trav
•llers some distance further ; but at last a
I point is readied where the ascent is so
| steep that even mules and donkeys can go
! no farther, and then you are compelled
'to climb up on foot, or be carried in a
! hair, which is the mode usually adopted
jbv ladies. Stout peasants can beempioy
ied to pull you up the mountain side by
| means of a strong strap, oneend of which
j they place over their shoulders, while you
take hold of the other end ; but this metli
| oil is aoout as tiresome as simply using a
I staff to assist you in your climbing ope
| rations. The whole side of the mountain
j where the ascent is made is formed of
slag and scoriae, but the pieces are wedg- i
ed together so as not to move much, and
(lie foot clings to them so that you do not
-dip. On the whole it is good footing.—
| L'he only difficulty is, it is so steep. It is
i i thousand feet up rough rocks, as steep
i as you can go.
On the summit of the mountain we
| found two craters or openings, the largest
|of which looked like the mouth of the
: bottomless pit itself. Its sides are forin
! *d of precipitous cliffs of rock, covered
i with deposits of sulphur. The floor of
Mliis crater is covered with molten lava,!
i which presents an appearance as black a?
| jet. From the centre of this floor rises a
great, black, rounded cone, like the stack
jof an immense blast furnace. It is about
fifty feet high, having an opening at the
j top about ten feet in diameter, which;
glows with a furious heat, and from which,
•very now and then, bursts forth a thun- j
lering explosion, which throws into the
j air a shower of stones and melted lava.—
The crater seems to be from four to live|
| hundred feet across, and its walls from
! eighty to a hundred feet high.
Of course we could not leave here with- |
out visiting the famous ruins of Hereula-I
i ueum and Pompeii. These ancient cities
were buried by an eruption of Vesuvius j
i centuries ago, and arc now objects of great i
! interest to travellers. A great part of
j Pompeii has been excavated, and presents !
| the appearance of a mass of ruined walls,
• little else being visible, as everything
movable has been conveyed to the great
! government museum in Naples, where!
I ire to be seen tools and implements,
j household utensils, mosaic pictures, jars
and vases, articles of jewelry, and hund
reds of other things which throw light
upon the manners and customs of the in
| habitants of these ancient cities. Here, :
! too, is preserved the head of the Roman
sentinel, who stood at his post until bur-;
j led beneath the tide of molten lava, and
| whose fidelity as a soldier has been the!
| admiration of the world.
There are many other minor points of
! interest around and about this place, but
| 1 have neither time nor space in which to
J describe them. Yours, HANS.

A CARD FROM THE
AieiSAtf Willi ED.,
OK
WALTHAM, MASS.
r riIIS Company beg leave to inform the
A- public that they commenced operations In ISSO, and
their factory now covers fouracres of ground, ami has cost
more than a million dollars, an 1 emp 9. over 730 opera
tives. They produce 75,000 Watchesa year, aud make and
sell not lest than one-half of all the watches sold la the
United States.
The dlifereuce between their manufacture and the Euro
pean, Is briefly this: European Watches are male almost
entirely by band, and the result Is of necessity a lack of
that uniformity, which Is Indispensable to correct time
kef pin.;. Both the eye and the hand oi the most skillful
operative must vary. But It is a fact that, except watches
of the higher gra i ;s, European watches are the product of
the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and the resuit Is the
worthless Ancres, Leplnes and so called Patent Levers—
which soon cost more In attempted repairs, than their ori
ginal price, Commo 1 workmen, boys and women, buy
tbe rough separate parts of these watches from various
factories, polish and put tliem together, and take them to
the nearest watch merch .nt, who stamps and engraves
I them with any name or brand I hat may be ordered.
llosv American Watches are Maile.
The American Waltham Watch Is male by no such un
j certain process—and by no such incompetent workmen.
All tyc Company's operations, from the reception of the
raw materials to the completion of the Watch, are carried
; 011 under one roof, and under one skillful and competent
! direction. But the great distinguishing feature of their
Watches, Is the fact that their s -veral parts are all made
by the finest, the most periect and delicate much nery
! ever brought to the aid of human industry. Every one of
the more than a hun Ired parts of every watch is ma le by
; a machine—that infallibly reproduces every succeeding
| part with the most unvarying accuracy. It was only ne
j cessary to make one perfect watch of any particular style
aud then to adjust the hundred machines nece-sary to re
produce every part of that watch, and It follows that eve
j ry succeeding watch must be like It.
The Company respectfully submit their watches "on
their merits" only. They claim to make
A Better Article fur tle Money
: by their improved mechanical processes than can be made
under the old-fashiooe 1 handicraft system. They manu
facture watches of every gra le, from a good, low priced,
and substantial article. In solid silver bunting cases, to the
finest chronometer; and also ladies' watches in plain gold
or the finest enameled and Jeweled cases; but the Indis
pensable requisite of all their watches is that they shall be
: (JXID TIMEKEEPERS. It should be remembered that,
except their single lowest grade named " Home Watch
Company, Boston," ALL WATCHES nude by them
Are Fully Warranted
by a special certificate, and this warrantee Is good at all
! tunes against the Company or its agents.
