" Could such a discovery be actually

vehicle for the communication of an
equally elementary idea; and that the
Combinations of the Elementary Sounds

Our readers need scarcely be reminded

up the doctrine that a regard for the
welfare of Great Britain should lead
that nation by force, if nccesssary, to
prevent "the calamity" of the su.bjuga
tion of the Southerners. After - the sack
of Lawrence, the massacre of Fort Pil
low and Plymouth and the horrors of
the Richmond prisons, it would require
an extraordinary and an immoral bold
ness to profess such a doctrine. The
visions which English tories entertain of
t the belligerent designs of America to
'wards, their country and which they de
sire checked in the bud, are only second
to the nightmares they suffer from an
ticipation of ' , French invasion.: The to

TYPE SETTING MACHINES.
The May number of the Atlantic
_Monthly contains a graphic account of
the attempts made to , substitute ma,
chinery for the • tedious hand-labor: of
type setting. For above four centuries
--since the first invention of moveable
types—composition or type setting has
been carried on, with scarcely any ; ; re
tic this tiresome and expensive, man
ner. . "Combination-type" .bas.. been
employed 'to some extent, by means of
which the composer finds a'group,' of
two, three or' more letters commonly 'oc
curring together„ cad on '.a' single shan,
so that one;movement of his hand:bringe
them all iproperly arrayed, into thO
"Stick?' A-New York. mechanic, tamped John K. Tobitt received a medal'
at
the London 'Exhibition in- 1851 for
bringing this invention, suggested by
others som:es,iiixty years ago, to 'a prac t
tical and successful; issue.
But type-setting machinery proper
began with the inventor of the calcu
lating tmachine, Charles Babbage of
London. His calculator was so con
trived that it would record in type, the
results of its own • computations. . This
was over forty years ago. Two,
Englanders, Prof. ,Treadwell, of
bridge, Mass. '
and Dr. Williams of Vt.,
experimented upon machines abont the
same trine, but without practical results.
The pioneer machine was invented by .
Timothy Alden of _New York, and yit
ented in, 1857, after seventeen years of
persevering and unrequited toil. The
worn out mai died two: ears afterward•
a real martyr .to 'scientific progress.
The Alden machine is in the hands of
hisscousin who has organized a company
for its mannfactare. Composition and ,
distribution are carried oti. at the, same
time by this machine., The types, as
they are composed, are fed out in.'s con
tinuous line 'at the left' of the keyboard.
They must be, spaced and divided into
proper lengths (" justited") by band.
Another, machine, patented in 1853,
by William H. .Mitchell of Brooklyn,.
N. Y., is ,, different in . the mode of. its
working, but like • the former feeds out
the,•type in a long line, and requires
hand labor for " justifying!' The mat-'
ter for the Continental .is set up
and, distributed by, Mr. Mitchell's appti
ratus, in:the office of John:F. Trow,, Ne
York: , l The machines are also known,
and, to some extent, employed in the
printing houses in London, and are,
found to be economical. '
Superior to these two, machines is one
invented by, a, mechanic of Salem, Mass.,
named lCharles W. Felt. , It is original
and quite distinct from the .Others; and
performs with accuracy and 'speed all
the work of composing and distributing;
justifying and leading the type's.' (Lead
ing is placing strips of metal between'
the successive lines to give the work'
greater clearness.) The history of Mr.
Felt's invention is curious. The idea of
applying machinery to the 'process of
composition haunted him from early
boyhood. The first wooden model of
his machine, was made when he was but
eighteen years of age.' He applied his
first earnings in carrying out his ideas.
By and by a few friends; then, quite a.
number of liberal patrons, furnished him
the necessary funds for the wOrk. Dr:
G. Henry Lodge, of Sciarnscott, Mass., is
especially worthy of Mention as a wise
counsellor, and a steadfast and generous
friend of the inventor. Thus aided, Mr.
Felt has triumphed over all obstacles.
His device hao been submitted to the
inspection of printers and men of sci•
once in: various cities of this country
and of Great Britain, and has eVeryL
where won approval; his first patent
was issued in 1854. A wealthy corn-,
pany for building the machines has been
organized in Salem, Mass.
The merits of Air. Felt's machine are
manifold. It is comparatively simple
in construction, it is strongly made and
durable, it cannot easily get out of order,
and it does its. IVork thoroughly. All
that is required of the operator is to read
the copy and touch the keys. The pro.
ceases proceed, then, as of their own
accord. ,Bat the Supreme excellence of
the machine is that it justifies the matte?
which it secs. The possibility of doing
this by machinery has always• been
doubted, if not entirely disbelieved, from
an erroneous idea that the process must
be directed by immediate intelligence.
Mr. Felt's invention demonstrates that
this operation is clearly within.the scope
of machinery.
The machine stands in a substantial
iron framework, five feet by four, within
which the mechanism is nicely disposed,
so that there may be ample room for the
four operations of setting., justifying,
leading,. and distributing. In front is a
keyboard of forty keys, which corre
spond to two hundred and fifty-six
characters,.arranged in eight - cases. A.
single case consists of thirty-two fiat
brass tubes, standing perpendicularly,
side by side, each one being filled with
a certain denomination ,of.-type. 'Seven
of the keys,determine from which case,
the desired letter shall be taken. Thus,
the• small letter a is set by touching the
a key; the capital A • by, touching Atte
"capital key" m •connection with the as
key; the capital B by toucbieg the
" capital key" in
,connection with the b
,key; and so on with every letter. There
are also keys called them small capital,"
the " Italic,' and the " Italic capital,;":.
so that the machine contains all the
characters knoWn to the compositor.
The operation of these "capital" and
"small-capital keys" is similar to that
of an organ-stop in modfying the effect
ofother keys. .
When the machine is in motion,—and
I should here mention that it is worked
by steam,—a curious piece of mechan
ism, called " the stick 4 ---which is about
as large as a man's hand, and' quite as
adroit,—plays to and fro beneath the,
cases, and acts obediently to the opera;
tor's touch. The spectacle of this little
metallic intelligence !is arausing.
'armed wif,hlinoers, which. it uses- much ,
a the olophatit dim Wit trunk though,
• : New :1 1, THUD DAY, MAY 12, 1864.
-with-infinite celerity. Everytime a key,
is touched, these pincers seize a type
from: one of the tubes, turn it downward
and, as it were, put it into the mouth of I
the stick. And so voracious is the ap
petite of this little creature, that in a
few seconds its stomach is other
words, the line is set. A tiny, bell gives
warning of this fact,. and the operator
finishes the word or syllable. He then
tenches the justifying-key, and the
spacer seized the line and draws it into
another part, of the machine, to be justi
fied, while the empty stick resumes its
feeding. - - No time is lost; for,while the
stick is sating a second line, the " spacer"
is justifying the first; so that, in a few
ft
moments .aO'starting, r the processes
are going ''forward simultarie6usly.•
That ,of justifying is ; perhaps, the most
ciccoinfiliShed in !this
, Wise. The sticknAver 8 0 4 afi lino, but
leaves room fop spaees, and with.the last
letter_of; each -word inserts a piece of
steel, to separate the, wOrdo. When the
line has been drawn into the spacer, the
piepes of steel, which are furnished with
nicked heads for the purpose, are with
-aia;cvn, and ordinary spaces are substi
tuted. All this requires no ',attention
whatever from the operator. The mat
ter, thus - set and justified, is now leaded
by the • machine, and deposited upon a
galley ready, for Kees.
In this_ machine, distribution is the
reverse of: composition, and is effected
by simply reversing the motion of the
shaft. ,
Thus the aspiration of inventive ge
nius, in this department of art, is nobly
fulfilled. 'Thus the links in the chain of
progress are Comp , lete, from Laurentius
Coster, 'walking in the woods of Hol
land, in 1430, and winning, from an ac
bidental shower bath, the art of making
Movable typos, down to, the wide awake
Massachusetts Yankee, whose genius
will-make printing as cheap as writing,
and therefore a thousand times more
available for all purposes of civilization,
--44-besides lighteningthe burdens of toil,
and blessing the jaded worker with a
bright prospect of health, competence,
and ease._

'RELIGIOUS STATISTICS OF THY,
WORLD,
The Nationgl Almanac and Annual
'Record for' 1864, published by George
; .W. Childs, of this city, gives us the world
as it is in a nut-shell. Among the great
amount bf valuable statistics which it c6n
tains, its 'compendium of the religious
world •will: be to many a highly interest
ing feature.. '
• The total population of the five valid
divisions of the world is set down at
1 284 738 000 'of Which number the to-
tal Christian, population is estimated' to
be 361,718,000, or little more than one
fourth- of the Whole. The proportion of
Protestants to Roman Catholics in this
estimate is about 1 to 2, the fortner
numbering 96,915.000,and the latter
185,041,000. This relative proportion
is approximately maintained in America,
Europe, Asia-and Africa; whilst in Aus
tralia and Polynesia, (the fifth grand divi
sion,) it is very strikingly reversed, the
Roman Catholics there numbering but
280,:000, to 1 100 000 Protestants.
It is evident from Mr. Childs' great
book, that 'our own country takes down
the world in the number and variety of
her ieligiinis denominations. Their num
ber and, relative membership are esti
mated as follows : African Methodist
Episcopal Church, 26,200 members.—

The statistics, as presented in detail
concerning the state of, religion in every
nation throughout the world, constitute
an inexhaustible mine of comparative
comment, awl the notes with which' the
tables 'are interspersed, contain much
late andr important information., From
the :latter we extract the fact 'that 10,-
700 Christians of Russian America be
:long to the Greek Church; that the
protestant population of South America
consists 'of a steadily increasing number
of congregations of Germans and Swiss
immigrants in Brazil, of a colony of
Waldensians in Uruguay, of German,
English, American, and other , foreign
residents in all the 14rge towns of Sbuth
America, and a small number of native
converts to Prbtestantism ; that in 1863,
a. plan of union was agreed upon by the
General Assembly of the (Old School)
Presbyterian Church of the Confederate
States, and United Synod of the Pris
byterian Church, and that it is probe le
that most of 'the other Presbyteri n
bodies of the slave States, in partieu ar
the Associate 'Reformed' Synod of the
'South, and the Independent Presbyterian
'Church will join this union.—Press.

Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent
Mefileines in general, through distrust of their ingre.
clients and effects; I yet know of no' sufficient reasons
why a man may not testify to the benefits he believes
himself to have received from any simple preparation,
in the hope that , he may thus contribute to the benefit
of others: '
I do this more readily in regard to.Hoofland's German
Bitters, prepared by Br. C. M. Jackson, of this city,
because I was prejudiced against them for many years,
under the 'impression that they were chiefly an alco
holic mixture. I am indebted., to my friend, Robert
Sholemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice.by
proper tests, and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and long continued debility. The
use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of
the present:year, was followed by evident relief, and
restoration to a degree of bodily and mental 'vigor which
I had not felt for six months before, and had almost
despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my
friend for directing me to the use of them.

PARTICULAR, NOTICE.
There are many preparations sold under the name of
Bitters, put up in quart bottles, compounded of the cheapest
whisksu or common rum, costing from 20 to 40 cents per
gal X the taste disguised hy Anise or Coriander Seed.
• . This class of Bitters has caused and will continue to cause,
as long as they can be sold, hundrals to die the death of the
drumrord. By their use Me system ist continually under
the influence of
. alcoholic stimulants o kep f the worst land, the
desire for liquor is,areated and lap t up, and the result is all.
th is horrors attendant upon a drunkard's life and death.
Por a Liquor Bitterd, we publish the fol/owing receipt.
(hot ONE . BOTTLE 1100 FL AND'S GERMAN BITTERS
and mix With THREE QUARTS OF GOOD BRANDY OR
IVHISKEY, and the result will be a preParation that will
FAR EXCEL in medicinal virtues and true excellence any
of the numerous liquor bitters in the market,- and will COST
MUCH, LESS. You will- have all the virtues , of HOOF
LAND'S BITTERS in- connection with a good article of
liquor, at a mach less price than these inferior preparations
will coat you. • •
, Attention, Soldier's ! and the Friends of Soldiers.
We call the attention of all having relations or friends
in the army to the fact that " HOOFLAND'S GERMAN

the lists, published almost daily is the newspapers, on
the arrival of the sick; it will be noticed that a very
large iwoportion are: suffering from debility. Every
case of , that kindy can be readily cured by Hootland's
German Bitters. Diseases resulting from disorders of
the digestive organs are speedily removed. We have
no hesitation in stating that, if these Bitters were freely
used among onr Soldiers, hundreds of lives might be
saved that otherwise will be lost.

The underatitied laving used .the a RICHARDSON

their tunnies, deem it but justice to say, that their
many excellent qualities deserve their approval, and
richly merit public patronage. They are well calcu
lated for what they were intended, and as all end joints
are discarded by the invention of circular ends, they are
much more durable, and greatly relieve the minds of
those who may be called to mourn the loss of the
revered and,tlelbxed of unhappy impressions.
