THE
ANNUAL CYCLOPEDIA
THE
8 AND r --..r .r-sb-
REGISTER OF IMPORTANT EVENTS

49,. OF THE YEAR 1868.
IN Presenting to the public another volume
| of the Annual cycfopedia, containing the
record of the most turbulent year which the coun-
try has witnessed, no efforts have been spared TO
SECURE its completeness and accuracy, and to pre-
serve it free from every mark of Partsanship.
The principles adopted in the previous year,
have taken effect, and many new and most I'M
portant questions arose under them, and were
discussed during 1868 such as cenfiscaton, eman-
cipation, indemnity official and peeunary, the re-
latons Of the nsurrectionary states to the Union,
personal liberty, martial law prize, the liability OF
Great Britain for damages done by the Alabama,
SC, &c. sastr .U
These discussions are embraced in it's contents,
together with the important civil and Po-
litical measures of the Federal and State govern
ments; an accurate and minute history OF the
struggles OF the great armies and their battles IL
lustrsted with maps and plans of actions taken
from official copies; the debates OF the Federal
and Confederate Congresses; financial measures
| of the government, commerce, &C, &c; the pro-
cesdIngs in the Confederate States to maintain the
war and establish their government; also, all the
velopments in the physical sciences the progress
| of literature; mechanical inventions and i'm rove
ments the stupendous enterprises OF the govern
/ ment connected with the war, such as hospitals
| for the army, the manufacture of ordnance, and
the trade regulations in insurrectionary districts
The present Statistics of the religious denomina
| tions, the Biographical sketches of the sminen
persons deceased in 1868, sc.
The contents are arranged in an alphabetica
| order, and accompanied by most complete In
der. The volume is in the style of the New
! American Cyclopedea, and will match the vols
| for 1861 and 1862, of this annual. The work i
published exclusively by subscription, and is ele
CANT and substantial.

n presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we
i boldly announce the greatest triumph in musi-
cal instruments of the age. During the past talf
century. the French and Germans have manufac-
tured reed instruments with double bellows, and
two pedals for the feet TO operate but the want OF
the reversed Exhaustion Bellows, Twin ch is the
only bellows used in instruments j made IL i'm
possible Tor them to produce the mellow, rich and
musical tone tor which oar Instruments are cele-
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 jean, instruments eeassrses
ed on this European plan Of SO double olowers,
have been manufactured in this country, and TO
has been projected from the centre of the instru
ment, to act upon the swell, and operated by the
knee. The Inconvenience and contortion necss
sary to effect this object, disagreeable enough
! to a gentleman, but 10 lady the use of such an
appendage 10 nearly impossible.
Our Autmatic device obviates this difficulty en-
tirely, the simple act OF blowing with less
force giving the desired increase or decrease in
the Tolume OF tone. For seventeen years the
superior eIcellence of our Meiodeons has not
been questioned, and Tor two years past the enor-
nous demand has made II impossible for Nc to
meet our orders promptly With our increased
facilities, we feel warranted in assuring pat
rons that their orders will be promptly met, and
solicit a continuance of their patronage.
