GALVANTC TELEGRApu

we observe that the managers Of the Great
western Railway, have already adopted the
new galvanic mode Of communicating intel.
l'gence upon their road. The following de.
scflpt'on Is from London paper; and the
Liverpool Mercury. in introducing it states.
that the rate at which the electric Huid ira.
vels, has been discovered by accurate expe.
rlment, to be not less than 900 900 miles in
single second Of time! The space occupied
by the case containing the machinery. which
simply stands upon table, and can be reno.
yea at pleasure to any part Of the room) is
little more than that required for a gen.
leman's hat box.
The telegraph is worked by merely pres.
sing smell brass keys similar thnse ON the

likewise cross (x) upon the dial, which in.

questlon-such, for instance, as the fol.
lowing: How many passengers started from
Drayton BY the ten o'clock train?-and the
answer could be trasmitted from the terminus
10 DraytOn and hack in less than two minutes.
This wasproved On Saturday. This mode of
communication is only completed as far as
est Drayton, which is about tbrteeu miles
and halffrOm Paddington. There are wires
las may be imagined) communicating with
each end, thus far completed, passing through
hOllow lion tube, not more than an inch i
and half in diameter, which is fixed about
SIX inches above the ground, running parallel
with the railway, and about two or three feet
distant from it. II is the intention Of the !
Great Western Railway Company, to carry
the tube along the line as fast as the comple /
ton of the rails takes place, and ultimately I
throughout the whole distance to Bristol.
The machinery, and the mode of working it,
are so exceedingly simple, that child who
could read, would, after an hour or two's
be enabled to transmit and re.
ceive information.

Of hope which at the moment promised safet

cables and drive ashore. There was, how
ever, danger to be apprehended, if the WING

both the shipping and the tewn. Of the t"o
evils. H,itfeidt choose the least. He CAV

NINE Pm

Bennett, who IS now at Saratoga. sneaks
thus of the game Of nine pins as played BY
Goits.
Rolling the balls appears to be quite a
fashionable amusement with the fair sex at
the springs This amusement (,olIing nine
pins, 1t IS now entirely taken out of the hands
oil the loco focos, and converted into one Of
the most sentimental and elegant pieces of
amusement that marks the present civilized
age do not knew any sight more novel
anu interesting than TO see beautiful Young
woman take up ball in her right hand
with epare bali in the left, put out her ex.
qulslte left foot, so that you can see bit OF
the delicious ancle--then half bend with a
graceful sweep towards the pins-theR shake
her flowing riuglets--then blush like angel:
then start back, afraid of what she is poino
60 knock down; then smile like a ser.n6
fresh from heaven when he first comes down
on earth to drink Congress water for his
health; then pluck up courage second time:
then swing her beautiful right arm; then lie,
by; then knock down seven out of the nine
pins, with as much ease as she knocks dow
seven out Of ninc silly ,beaux that flutter
around her and impede her way to the para
disc of coquets and coquetry. Playing nine
pins was never made elegant and sentimental
bcforei and il may justly be loo, ed upon as
one OF the best evidences of the march of
civilization in the 10Th century.

COL. PLUCK.

The ignorance of the local and traditonary
history of this country, betrayed in the fol
lowing paragraph, would almost induce one
to believe that it was translated from the
French side Of the Bee. This is the kind OF
stuff with which foreign scribblers concoct
their libels upon the character Of the Ameri.
can people. If the French editor Of the Bee
had seen this article, what precious morsel
II would have been for him. II is droll to
hear the name Of John Pluck associated with
such high sounding ePithets as are here
bestowed upon it. After noticing the death
Of that notorious dolt in the Philadelphia
Almshouse, the Montreal Herald proceeds
in strain Of pathetic defamation against
the lngratitude of America, as follows:
LouisiGnian.
''Is it not monstrous," he exclaims, s.that
after fighting the battles of his county, and
winning, by his gallantry, numerous laurels,
this aged and war, woIn veteran should have
been suffered TO die in friendless poverty,
amid the wrecks of humanity that are cluster.
ed in lazar-house, and without the ordinary
decencies that accompany the closing mo-
ments of the most abandoned and destitute?
Shame upon the government that thus base
~ neglects its faithful servants shame upon
the people that can thus forget their blavest
defenders"

FATE RIGHTS AND DENOCRATI, UNION.
BY w. III. TOLBERT d. co.

Having heen solicited ~ me united request O
he state Rights and Democratic parties Of Missis-
sipp and especially of this section of the state we
have been prevailed upon to publish weakly new
spapsr, TO support that creed OF politics. which the
name we have assumed demonstrates. Firmly pre-
suaded that the liberties, prosperity, happiness and
indepcde.cs Of south, are deeply involved in these
momenIons questions, now agitated throughout the
Onion. The period is at hand, when il behooves
every friend ofthe South to and support those
principles Of right and interest, which soemly
claim by the charter of confederation; TO mai-
tain the integrity of the constitutions the purity Of
the administration OF the general government, and
the sovereign independence, to which we Untitled
to ne people.
The welfareof the south has been too long neg
lected-hrr original n,agnanmity and honor are fas1
sinking into disrepute-our own state is striking
instance of this fact, and our supineness well nigh
reduces US TO northern vassalage. has disorgaBized
community at one time emnsntly prospeFous-and
destroyed the means Of recovery from embarrassment
fer years.
Such policy has prostrated our energies, lead
US into uuWise projects, heaped upon corrupt and
Improbable corporations which almost cast stig-
npon the good faith and honor of The state. These
errors should be corrected-thc times demand it,
let then resolve to rid ofthem and assume that
enviable condition we formerly proudly held
Our might and means should be exhibited to the re-
publicit is just to ourselves should do it, in or
der to relieve US of that cTcduliy of dependence,
long habit has engendered among It's.
We hear speak to men of Southern principles, aud
to those devoted to that original of government
under which the constitution Of this republic was a.
greed upon and settled.
Our object is not to mar the good feelings of the
north and south, shake that amty which should
exist between them, nation, but merely vind-
cate those rights we are entitled 10, and explain the
constitutional remedies by which We are protected
We are nuequivocally opposed to "a national Bank
Ito the elevation of Henry Clay, to the Presidency,
which we consider would be most destructive blow
to the south stability OF the union we will also
oppose that system of Internal Improvement by the
general government advocated by the federal party
opposed TO all abuses and extravaganza in the
administration oil public Enthusiastically opposed
to asuperfuous revenue, or high TaGT--in favor oil
free and direct trade, with the choice offoreign or
domestic markets, and in all other respects zealo1sly
advocating the doctrine Of the Republican and State
flights school, forth in the Virginia and Ken
lucky resolutions of '99 and '99.

We believe there will not be realised any
thing like general commercial prosperity in
our land, until SHE party" shall have been van
pushed. By a series of experiments they
have already furled the wings of commerce
stiled the hammer Of industry-and paralysed
the energies of domestic enterprise. Those
experiments will be repeated, if the Van Buren,

our ho,es shall be swept away, and nothing
but Individual and national ruin left u.s. 1t is
Important, therefore, that they should be dis
placed, and competent men engaged to repair
the ruins as well as they can, and arrest our
public affairs in the progressive road to des-
truction which they are now pursuing.
