The Case of Calvin G. Perkins.
On Saturday last the case of Cabin G. Perkins,
|of Wayne County, was investigated in this City be;

sued by Judge Battle, and served on Capt Mccoy
in command of the Confederate prison at Salisbury.
The writ was applied for by J.H. Everett Esq, Of
Wayne one of Mr.. Perkins counsel and was served
on Capt Mccoy by the Sheriff Of Rowan County.
Messrs. Moore and Phillips appeared for Mr.. Per.
kns, and Messrs. Caldwell and Love for Capt Nc
Coy. 49,.
We learn that the only point of,importance made
by the evidence against Mr.. Perkins was, that after
the writ had been served but without his Lnouledge

that he did not look for protection to the Coneder-

TYPE-SETTING MACHINES,

lecture was delivered on this sui ject,
on the evening of the lO.h of October. al
Stacy Hall. Boston, by Charles w. Felt, the
inventor of type'setting machine Il was
given before the Boston Printers Union, hy
invitation. Abiding 20 the etlors made by
Others recently to facilitate the comp iliou
of type, he said: "Thomas n Rocker, and
John II. Tubitt, of New York, and Mr. A.
H. Bailey, of the Boston Transcript, were
mentioned as having devoted moro or less
time to improving the prevailing methods.
Mr. Rocker has introduced into the Tribune
office forty cases with movable bottoms
In these cases the bottoms may ways be
kept conveniently full in composition, and
in distribution the bottoms may be lowered
SO as to receive n iul quantity of type. Mr..
Tohit's plan, and also that OF MIR. Bailey,
is that of uniting two or more letters upon
one body, so that 10y one life two or three
letters are set up instead of one. Mr. Bailey's
system Of Composition is calculated t. save
from 20 to 40 per cent in compositio1.
When it is considered that the word the
forms six per cent of the language, id and
about four, while many Others exceed about
two per cent, The advantage Of combina
ton system is evident. The difficulty in the
matter. as Mr.. Felt alleges, is as to how
many and what combinations may be used
with profit The use of type-settng machines.
it was claimed, would aid 25 per cent. to the
earnings OF the printer; bat the stronger
argument in its favor is that it will add 20
per cant to his life. Though the subject of
combination type is one of primary imporu
ance, because SO simple, and because yielding
a gain which is profit Of itself yet the
great reform in printing is to be made by
introducing machinery. In all machines
hitherto invented no attempt has been made
to justify. The possibility of justtying by
machinery has long been doubted but Mr.
Felt contends confidently that there is no
impossibity in the case The type are set
up in his machine in the usual order as the
keys are touched, and the words are separat-
ed not by the usual spaces, but by pieces Of
steel with beads by which they may be
drawn out"
