MELODEANS.
THIRTY-FIvE THOUSAND NOW In USE
Every Instrument warranted for FiveYears

1 n presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, We
l. boldly announce the greatest triumph in must
cal instruments of the age. During the past half
century, the French ana Germans have msnufac-
tured reed instruments with double bellows, and
two pedals Tor the feet operate, but the OF
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (wh en- is the
only bellows used Ia instruments, ) made il i'm
possible Tor them to produce the mellow, rich and
musical tone tor which our instruments are eele-
brated.
Another objection to this method OF blowing
was, that both feet being occupied, no opportunI-
~ was offered for the management of the swell.
within the past two years, instruments construct
ed on this European plan OF 80 double blowers
have been manufactured in this country, and to
eounteract this difficulty (want of swelI) lever
has been projected from the centre of the instru
ment, TO act upon the swell, and operated by the
knee. The inconvenience and contortion neces
sary TO effect this object, disagreeable enough
to gentleman, but To lady the use OF such an
aPpendage Is nearly apostolic.
Our Autmatlc device o6vlates this difficulty en-
tlreiy, the simple act OF blowing with less
force giving the desired increase decrease IN
the volume OF tone. For seventeen years the
superior excellence OF our Mcleod cons has hot
been questioned, and tor two years past the enor-
nous demand has made 1t impossible for to
meet our orders promptly. With increased
facilities, we feel warranted in assuring our pat.
rons that their orders will be promptly met, and
solicit continuance OF their patronage.

IN Presenting to the public another volume
record of the most turbulent year which the coun-

secure its completeness and accuracy, and to pre-
it free from every mark of partisanship.
The principles adopted in the previous years
have taken effect, and many new and most I'M
portant questions arose under them, and were
discussed during 1868 such confis cation, eman-
cipation, indemnity official and peeuniary, the re-
lations Of the nsurrectonary states to the Union,
personal liberty, martial law prize, the liability OF
Great Britain for damages done by the Alabama,

CAUTION FROM THE
American Watch Co.

II having come to our knowledge that limitations
of the American Watch have been put upon the
market IN great number, calculated by their utter
worthlessness to injure the reputation of gen.
uine products, to protect our interests and
the public from imposition, again publish the
trade marks by which Watches may invariably
be known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches.
The First has the name
'sAMERICAN WATCH CO., WaItham, Mass"
engraved on the inside plate.
The Second has the name
"APPLETON, TRACY & CO., Watham,
Mass engraved on tho inside plate.
The Third has the name
'P. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass en-
graved on the inside plate.
All the above sty les have the name American
Watch Co. painted on the dial, and are warranted
IN every respect.
The Fourth has the name
"WM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass, - engraved on
the inside plate, and is not named on the dial.
All the above described Watches are made OF
various sizes, and sold in gold or silver cases,
may be required.
1t is hardly possible for us to accurately des-
cribe the numerous limitations to which have
alluded. They are usually inscribed with names
so nearly approaching our own to escape the
observation of the unaccustOmed buyer. Some
are represented made by the sSUnlon Watch
Co., OF Boston, Mass~''-no such company exist
ing. Some are named the s'Soldier's Watch" to
be sold Fourth VIM. ElIery style, usu-
ally known the ''Soldier's Watch,'' Others
are named the appleton Watch Co. 20 others
the 'sP. S. BARLEY, - instead OF esp. S. Bart
lett;'' besides many varieties named IN such
manner to convey the IDEA that they the
Variable productions of the American Watch
Company.
We also caution the public, and particularly
soldiers, against buying certain articles called
Watches, SO freely advertised in illustrated papers
as "Army Watches - '' Officers Watches -
"Magic Time Obseryers,'' ssAroana Watches"
&c., the prices OF which are stated to be from
seven to sixteen dollars. A good Watch in these
times, cannot be afforded for any such money.

protect them from gross imposition

Garibaltli ON the War.

The following is a translation ola letter
which Garibaldi had addressed to the editor
of the London Public Opinion on the relations
between England and America:
Sir; always considered from the begin
ming that the American question was one
which concerned all humanity and the whole
world, and was grieved to see that part of
the English public were opposed to the rcsto-
ration of Union in the great Republic, which
arose it is well known, from causes of rancor
which pre-existed between England and
America but it was sad thing that the good
sense of the people who first established the
principle of the emancipation of the slaves,
did not manifest itself in applause to the
North Americans, who showed themselves to
be the instruments of Providence in carrying
out that sublime idea.
Nav these lords of the ocean agree, then
for the good of oppressed humanity! Son'
of the same mother, may they see that thcl
noble race is now a-days the buiwark of thu
right of nations, and that despotism foments
disscnsion between them because it fears
them, and because it knows that if they were
on good terms it would be impossible for i
to execute its designs, which are fatal to lib
erty everywhere.
Yours, &C., &. GAETDALDT.

is beautiful trim vessel, and sits on the wa

Pomeroy weekly telegraph. [volume] (Pomeroy, Meigs County, Ohio) 1860-1866, 1865-06-15

Vast bodies of soldiers lately attached to
the Potomac and Tennessee armies belonging
to the Northwestern States, and among 9th.
ers numerous veteran corps in transit most
probably for Texas, have passed over the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroads to the head waters
of the Ohio river, aud from thence the stream
for several days has baen constantly down the
river by this place in numerous steaners
pressed into the service for such purpose, to
various destinations westward, including Gin
einnati, Louisville, St. Louis and down the
Mississippi-some to be mustered out Of the
service which they have served so faithfully
and efficiently, and others to the performance
of duties, as yet unknown to u.s. The
boys on their passage by this port, crowded on
the comfortable steamers like so many bees
on hive, were very jubilant and happy, and
appeared quite hoarse from cheering the 10y
81 people who lined the shores, welcoming
them to the western waters: we bid them God
speed, and laden rs they are with honors won
in the defence Of our noble country, wish
them numerous and happy days, many o
which we trust are in store for them. and also
hope and believe the country will in all future
time award theinthe homage Of well dom
good and faithful servants" After view o
these hardy apdbronsed soldiers who have il
manner passed In revisw before us, SOM
criterion may be formed ofthe late numerica
strength Of the grand armies lately under tn
command of Generals Grant, Sherman, Mea'
and Sheridan.
