Electric Telegraph on the Great Western Raii,ray

Electric TcIeg,aph on the Great Western Rait,cay
Our readers are NJ doubt, aware that the cleo
trio telegraph, invented, by Mr., Cook and Profess
or Whea,stone, of Kings College, has been for six
or nine months past in experimental operation, on
line ofabout thirteen miles, previous 10 it's being
extended from Paddingtoh to Bristol. When COM
pleted il is calculated that a communications may
be transmitted from London to Bristol and an ans
yver returued in about twenty minutes. IL has
been ascertained from arefnl md often repeated
experiments that the electric lid travels at the
tonlshing and nconceivabie velocity Of too hun
dred thousand miles in a second of time ; so that if
a wire were passed round this Globe of ours, this
subtitle agent would traverse the circumference,
about twenty four thousand miles, in the eighth
part of second. According to the statements Of
the newspapers the ethereal spark was last week

Although the electric spark moves, as WEI have
already stated, at the miraculous rate of two hun
bred thousand mile in second Of time, we need
hardly observe that teleraphic communications
cannot be transmitted at the rate, because as
each signal only represents letter, the process
must be repeated often TO complete sentence !;
and if each sigma instead of signifying a single
letter, represented figures corresponding TO word
in the telegraphc dictionary, time must be lost IN
referring the book and it appears that, on an
average, one minute Of time is required for the
transmission of about thirty ignals.-LiperpoOl

Lowe was then called for. lie came to the win
dow of another room, and addressed the crowd for
n minute. He said bully, the travelling compan-
ion of Gen. Harrison, with his associates, had shed
his blood, because as a freeman he had dared to
express his honest opinion about Harrison. He
said the Reign of Terror had commemorative Gag
Law was revived-that DULLES were employed now
TO beat, bully and assassnate freemen who dared
TO express their opinions--that he had expressed
his opinion about Harrison, and that if he weltered
in his blood he would never give up his opinion
that neither DULLES, nor gag-law, nor reign of ter
ror, nor bloodshed, nor the certainty of his death
should prevent him from proclaiming his opinions
to the world. lie would go on to speak what he
thought of men and measures, and would live and
die freeman.
If this now takes place when Gen. Harrison is a
candidate, what will be the case if he should get
the power of President? If he is now accompanied
by men to knock down, beat and shed the blood
of lreemen, when they dared TO express an opinion
against him, what will be done if he should be
elected President' Will he then be surrounded by
armed guards and hired DULLES to accompany him,
when he travels, and to be sent out from Washing

was shed for freedom. They repealed the British

in regard to the circumstances which lost Cum

This result is not to be attributed to any actual
changes against us since 1898, but to the culpablc
rcmissness of our friends in some three or four
towns and to local causes, which will not at all al

democracy have done nobly, and nave actually

INDIAN AFFAIRS.

Notwithstanding Gov, Harrison claims dcciSire
riciory, in the extract we have seen of his official
letter. private letters, which were not intended for
publication, gire different aspect
Take the following extract from an officer in the
action, for instance:
"Forty-fye Indians were found dead on the field,
and no doubt many were carried off, according to
the Indian practice. A chief Of the Potuwatames
is now n prisoner. There can be no doubt we
made great slaughter among them.
Yesterday was employed in taking care OF our
wounded and burying the dead. And this day
we should have attacked the savages IN our turn IN
their town; but it was last night abandoned in the
greatest confusion, and the buildings are now in
flames. They carried of 500 bushels OF corn, which
our horses want very much"
Most Of the private letters hold the same Ian
gnage.
The Mercury Of Nov. 80, n very ably edited de-
mocratic Gazette, printed at Pittsburgh where cor
rect information on this subject, would naturally be
expected, observes:
ssThc movements of the Governors troops since
the engagement are not fully known. On the morn
ing after, he proceeded to the Prophets town which
he burnt. 1t is said to have contained about 900
bushels of corn. As the Indians had carried away
his provisions, he was induced, by want, and the
fear of another attack, TO return to Nmcenncs; ana
ii Is reported that The troops on lheir re'rn "c'c
under the necessity of using the flesh OF the horses,
that had been killed in battle"
If this be true they were certainly driven to very
great distress. II seems M0t his whoie business
has been badiy managed. That they were poorly
supplied with provisions, and even the little they
had was not taken care of; for they let their van
quished enemy run away with it.
THE GovERNoR's ORDERs.-The Lexington
Reporter, paper Of good democratic authority,
previous to the battle, had the following remarks:
awe are informed that Gov llarrsons FIRST or
ders from the President, were to march with the
regulars he has under his command, together with
the militia he could conveniently raise, up the Wa
bash some distance above Nincennes, then TO build
fort and dismiss the militia, retaining only the
rcgulars-aoi 10 attack the Indians unless attack
ed Those orders we discover have not been OBJ
served, and report says that he has lately received
new orders from the President.
"This is the sum of our normalion; what men
-versed in Indian fighting will say to this method OF
maintaining peace with the Indians, we cannot ex.
actly say, but had always thought, that this kind
ofmodcraiion, on such an occasion, betrayed weak
ness

Peter =. Lowe, Esq, an excellent citizen OF Day
ton, formerly member of the Legislature, and
chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, some
weeks ago, at a meeting at Fairfield, in Greene

ion that Gen. Harrison did not act like brave man
during the war, and may be, said Harrison was n
coward. OF this, one off the travelling companions,
and nephew Of Hen. Harrison. was informed by n
naval officer. Copeland, llarrlsOns nephew, was

suspected any design TO injure or assasslnate HIM
When they arrived there, and entered the room, an

and up stairs-near the door were The associates o.

Lowe resisted bravely and manfully, and left hi

and Lowe received severe blow on the head will
