Professor morse,s Electric Telegraph.

We were highly eratifec yesterday by
Witnessing the practical operation of the
Electric Telegraph, invented by our coun-
lryman, Prof S. F. B. Morse-of which
ali Of our readers have heard, but with
the principle and beautiful operation Of
which, we apprehtnd, but few are ac-
quainted. We regard it as among the
most useful applications Of science to the
great purposes of life which the present
age has seen. 1t proposes, and for aught
we can see, with good success, to an
nounee in every part of the country, to
which it may be extended. any informa-
ton with unerriog certainty and at the
same instan. Of time.
This stupendous result is to be accom-
| plished by the power OF galvanism and
the instrument by which it is to be done,
though perhaps difficult Of description, is
yet simple and its operation easily under
STOOD. In the first place, by an alphabet,
10 which the twenty-six letters are repre-
sented by different combinations of the
dot and the dash, the communication is
written upon paper at The remote extremi-
ty of the Telegraph. The machine by
which this is directly done is small and
simple, moved by a weight like clock
work, the slip of paper being wound
4 about cylinder and carried under the
! style by the operation of the MACHINERY.
4 To The style or pen which makes the
mark is attached, in convenient method,
piece Of iron which rests just above a
mass of soft iron. which is Instantly rem
dered magnet by the transmission OF the
{ electric current The operation of the
Telegraph is therefore easily seen. Sup
pose one extremity to be in Washington
and the other in New York = the com.
, muRication being formed OF protected
: wires lraVersing the immediate distance.
A person at Washington wishes to con.
5 vey news to this city. He has before
5 him the two extremities of wires and the
t means of sending along thema current Of
the electric fluid. The instant be brings
them together the soft iron mass in New
; York becomes a magnet-the iron above it j:
5 drawntowards it and the style to which it i:
attached is pressed upon the paper, and this
> being carried forward by the machinery
: which Is at the same Instant BY another

magnet set in motion, receives the impress
ion. As soon as The two wires are separ-
ated, the soft iron is no longer a magnet
the iron above is no longer attracted and
the pen no longer rests upon the paper.-
BY bringing the wires in contact and I'M
mediately separating them, dot IS inade'
by keeping them in contact for lille
time. dash; and by the combination OF
these two all the words in the language
may be written and read.
BY the most accurate experiments that
have been made, it is found that the cleo
trio fluid moves al the rate of268,O 900 miles
In second: and as this is the only limit
10 the speed with which news may be
transmitted by Prof Morse's Telegraph,
1t is evident that for all terrestrial purposes
il promises all the most Interesting neaOS-
papers could desire. Fifty letters can cas-
ily be made by it in minute-so that the
Presidents Message. or any other docu-
ment could easily be sent to any part OF
the continent faster than a compostor
could set it up. The notifications TO
which it may be subjected are almost end
less. Prof Morse has already invented a
method to make his Telegraph speak as
well as write; another 10 enable the loco

IA DAY IN KENTUCKY.
BIZ WiLliam r. Claiming.

A tap with a ridingwhip on the door
reused me from my book. and, opening it,
| saw before ne an elderly man, of some
sixty years, tall in stature. erect as an In
dian, with a cheek where the brown and
red were blended in perfect health, and
whose long, white hair foated over his
shoulders.
"Allow me-" said he, with an air of
sweeping and graceful courtesy, ITO an.

will be glad 10 see you; my sons are no
bic fellows; promise you a pleasant
time; and will take no refusal" And,
shaking me by the hand, with the warm,
yet dignifed welcome, he seated himself
till should be ready.
The morning was glorious, as he said |;

curled steadily up from the brush-fires
long silvery lines of gossamer foated on

cling down upon our path. The air and
scene unloosed our tongues and hearts
and, as we passed along, with the swing
ing lrot Of the Kentucky horses, we talk
ed with the openness of old friends.
Slavery, Of course, was one OF the top

alton; when utterly overcome with ia
tigue and hunger, he fell asleep and was
taken. Then, as | have told you, he
!" played 'possom." as the negroes say, till
he caught the hint of being sent away;
when he again escaped. And now See
how a kind Providence aided those poor
creatures. Would you believe ii The
men who pursued them came 10 the very
barn, into which they had crept for con-
cealment when the dav broke; they trod,
over and over again, upon their bodies,
which were covered by the heaps ofstraw
and hay; they cursed and sWore, and
vowed to take them, al the very ears ofthe
victims; and yet they were kept safe.-
As soon as it was night. they set of again
through the snow, and hid themselves a
second time in the wood, half frozen and
half famished. The third night, they
reached the Ohio, by good fortune found
boat, padded themselves over, and were
safe. Friends forwarded them 10 Cana
da; and, when we saw them they were as
happy as people could be, with every pros
pect Of success. And now" said the
beautiful girl, drawing herself up 10 her
full height, and folding her arms, L

of you northerners seem to me, with all
difference, 10 have the spirit Of slaves
yourselves; but, Kentuckian as [ am,
and on this slave soil. | dare to say it,
Ned is hero-a hero, who, if he had
lived in the good old days OF Greece,
would have had his deeds immortalized
in the strains of some Homer
The conversation of this spirited woman
gave rise to some thoughts, which | will
briefly state, for the benefit of those dull
folks, who are too lazy to crack nut and
pick out the kernel.
|. AL shareholders are not insensihle TO
the great outrages daily committed by
slavery upon justice & affection; nor indil-
ferent to the welfare of those whom they
know to be brethren. There are pure,
hearted men and women al the South, de.
serving our respect, our sympathy, coun
sci, aid, and prayers.
/ 2. If a northern man relishes contempt
Iand insult, he can find it, ia any quantity
and intensity, by protesting to be an admir-
er oftheir peculiar domestic institutions
at the South. Southerners rarely believe
such professions. and are apt to think him
who makes them, hypocrite; or, ifthey
suppose him sincere, to despise him fol
a mean-spirited stupid BOBBY.

Elittering myriads seem to press
Where but now was solitude
Bear her, in her loveliness,

Now her high behes, is heard,
Peers and ladies, silent grown,
Strive 10 catch her slightest word;
And, above each other gem,
Shines that trear.wove diadem.
She is in the council hall.
To decide nations fate
She has designed of grace the bali

Perfumed every breath around,
Hnshed 10 music every sound.
She has gone forth to the chase,
And she hunts right royallyi
See her milkwhite chargers pace,
Who can curb his rage as she!
On the throne, or on the green,
Moves she every inch queen,
Harki the hounds, and hear! the horn
Yes. they hold the stag al bay;
But from out the woods is borne
One shot hath chanced 10 slay;
Al her palfrey's feet is laid
A Youthful form iu bloody plaid.
How she filings her from her horse!
How she lies upon the ground,
Hanging DER that gentle corse,
Staunching with her hands the woundl
oh! tits not royal blood.
But her life is in that food.
What change comes DER her now!
Her lips have no command 10 speak,

But where shas flown The harghly queen1
Court and courtierss fade away,
For she neither sees nor hears,
Her world is now that lifeless clay,
Her only treasures are her tears,

She will share her lovers tomb.
