/ My lamented predecessor, in his procla-
nation Of the LIST Of January, 1868, ordered
and declared that ell persons held as slaves
within certain States and parts OF States
therein designated, were and thenceforward
should be free; and further that the Execu-
tive Government Of the United States, in
Guiding the military and naval authorities
thereof, would recognize and maintain the
freedom of such persons. The guarantee
has been rendered especially obligatory and
sacred by the amendment Of the Constitu-
ton abolishing slavery throughout the
United States. l, therefore, fully recognize
the obligation to protect and defend that
class of our people whenever and wherever
IL shall become necessary, and to the full
extent compatible with the Constitution of
the United States. Entertaining these SEN
timents, it only remains for me to say that
| will cheerfully cooperate with Congress
in any measure that may be necessary for
the preservation Of the civil rights Of freed
men, as we'll as those Of all classes of per-
sons throughout the United States, by judi
cial presses under equal and impartial
laws, or conformably with the positions Of
the Federal Constitution. now return the
bill to the Senate, and regret that in con-
sidering the bill and joint resolutions, AZ in
number, which have been thus far submit
ted for my approval, I am compelled to
withhold my assent from second measure
that has received the sanction Of both
Houses Of Congress.

The Alden Type Machine.

The Alden Type Machine is thus spoken
of by 7Ae New York Tribune, in whose office
one Of the machines has been in operation
for several months:
II is proved beyond peradventure that
the machine can, set 1000 ems per hour.
with one operator and one ''Jusllner. To
set geo ems per hour is the task Of an or
binary type setter ut the case. After careful
and patient observation, we can see no rea-
son why this amount Of work may not be
the practical result of the machines labor
from years end to years end. Of course
it must have skillful operators, and in its
continuous use it is not impossible that III
some minute details corrections and i'm
provemens are yet to be made, as the case
is in all new machines. But patient and
candid trial, it seems to us Is all that - ne
cessary to put them as fast as they can be
manufactured, into our book and newspaper
offices tosdet that work in which. since the
invention Of printing, there has been no
advance The almost universal belief hlth-
erto has been that until mechanism has been
made to think, it could not be made to sup
ply the place of the hhman eye and fingers,
and brains in fixing the intelligent juxiipo-
sition Of types for printing. The curious
and ingenious adjustment Of parts to parts,
multiplied and duplicated in indcfnite varl-
ETY., in the Alden machine, has overcome
the limit beyond which it vas thought ma
chinery could not GO Given an automatic
type-setter perfect in that work, and the
rest is easy This the Alden machine IS.

Buried Alive and Dug Out-A Strange

army Of the Potomac, in 1868, was taken

remains of his dead comrade Avolley was

ably discharged, and he had forgotten, in
the rush Of events, his comrade sleeping by
the banks of the Rapidan, when the other
day, in Hartford, who should appear before
him but the same dead and buried soldier.
It is not strange that he felt curious sem
sation come over him; that he looked at the
figure before him without speaking; that he
stepped aside when the other advanced TO
him with outstrctched hand. The denouc-
ment is thus given:
"Old chum, don't you know me- ("
Said I, "Yes, l do But what in the
name Of God are you doing heres helped
to bury you once, in Virginia."
- know that ssme one buried me, and
always thought that you was ono Of them,
as you were always SO kind to me! But

me, that am flesh and blood. +"
shook hands with him, and he told me
that he was in a trance when VIC buried him
and that he was digging has scdy out, and had
got his head out, when the rebels came
along and assisted him. They then SEN
him to Libby Prison, where they kept hin
| in DURANGO for year. They then sent hin

was ended, when he was released.

| SMOKING HAns.-T think the quality Of
hams as much depends upon the manner OF
smoking them as upon the mahnerpf cnr-
| ing them. If ham is well cured, bad
smoking will spoil it. The ordinary man
ner of q Nructing smoke house, of gem
Grating the smoke i'll close proximity with
the hams, is bad economy. And if not in
/ bad taste, ii is generally the means of max
ing bad taste. BY this method the hams
are generally heated: and if not heal ed, or
rather if not to that degree that willrender
them soft and greasH, they contract . bad
| flavor from hot, or crude and acrid smoke
| Smoke should not be allowed to reach a
ham until it is perfectly ceol, and purified,
as it will be, if it has time TO cool.
Build no fire iii the smoke house. In
stead of doing 50, dig a small trench in the
earth, extending from the smoke house
thirty or forty feet upon slightly descend
ing ground, if practicable: cover it with a
! slab, or board, replacing the earth at its
! termination construct an arch, or fire place.
/ with brick or stone. Two hours labor will
/ complete the job. Do not substitute stove
pipe, las some do,) for by that means you
partly defeat your object. Generate your
smoke in the arch as you would inthc smoke
house. In the absence of smoke house,
| a very good substitute can be made by using
an old hogshead; or section Of a hollow tree
