NUMERALS.

The operator has before him the two cNtre-
mites Of the wire taversed by the electric flu
id. "By bringing the wires in contact and IN
stantly separating them, a dot is made; by
keeping them in contact for little tlmo, ddSh;
aud by the combination OF these two, all the
words in the language, and all the numerals,
may be written and read"
Communication by telegraphs is very old
invention. We find the remains Of old towers
all over Europe and OH the sea COASTS, which,
in ancient times, were used as modes Of rapid
intelligence, and communication telegraphs
on shore, and tclegraphic signals and commu-
nications among ships OF war OF the same nation,
are now in general use. Lines OF telcgraphs
from London and Paris to the naval stations and
sea coast, have been many years III operation,
and questions and answers are transmitted and
received in the space OF few minutes from sta
/ ton 10 station but it is the rapdty with which
/ orders NAV be transmitted through the magnet
| ie telegraph, particularly in time OF war, which
constitutes its greatest value. For the trans
mission of orders to purchase goods, the rise oI
fall in stocks or in cotton, the drawing ol lot
tcries, and other speculative objects, it is qGes
tionable whether this mode OF communication
managed by private individuals, is al all desra
bic, as it may give advantages to one class Owe
another; hence the very great importance o
it's being connected with the United State
Government, and under the control of sworl
officers. Congress will undoubtedly see tn
, importance of this suggestion, and pass laN
establishing a telcgraphc bureau in connection

You Remember it--Don't You!
BY THos. HAYNES BA1LY.

by TIIos. HAYNES BA1LY.
You remember the time when first sought your
home,
When smile, not word was the summons to
come,
When you called me friend, till you found, with
surprise,
That our friendship turned out to be love in dis
guise.
You remember it-don't You?
You will think of it-won't you
Yes yes, of all this remembrance will last,
Long after the present fades into the past,
You remember the grief that grew lighter whe"
shared,
With the bliss, you remember, could aught be
compared;
You remember how fond was my earlier vow
Not fonder than that which breathe to thee now.
You remember it-don't you?
You will think of it--won't you?
Yes yes of all this the remembrance will last
Long after the present fades into the past.

MORsE's MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.


The successful illustrations of Professor
Morse's Magnetic Telegraph, during the sit
tings of the Baltimore Conventions, and the ra-
pidity with which questions were sent to Wash
ington aud answers returned, distance of for
ty miles, have awakened curiosity as to the
nature of the invention, and the applications to
which it may be directed. Scientific persons
understand perfectly the modus operandi, but
the great mass only witness its wonderful ef-
fects, without comprehending the manner by
which they have been brought about The in
vcntion may not be considered original with
| Professor Morse; the principle, it is true, is
old. But the Professor has been many years
employed in bringing to perfection the appica-
ton of the principle to the purpose under con-
sldcration. Fulton lost no reputation because
the steam engine had been invented before he
applied it to the propeiing of boats, and for ma
! tional and mercantile objects, this rapid trans
mission of questions and answers may be spc
cially useful. True, it is not an invention or
| Improvement like the steam engine, which can
be applied to great variety of useful objects
and purposes, manufacturing and locomotive
The principle of this telegraph is the same pre-.
ciscly as the electric or galvanic machine.
| Many Of our readers have surrounded the ma
/ chine in the museums, each holding on the
chain, and each receiving portion Of the
shock from the spark. The spark, running
with the rapidty oflightnng, may extend a.
| long the wire thousands of milcs-around the
world if necessary-and the great ingenuity OF
the present improvement is the application o.
electricity to the rapid conveyance of intell
gence. Colts submarine battery is on the sane
principle. copper rctort Of powder is float
ed under ships bottom, from which covered
wire is appended, and the powder ignitcd a
any distance by galvanism. The turning of tht
glass plate or cylinder in an electric machin,
produces electricity, which, like air or water
seeks TO establish an equilibrium. The inven
ton of the galvanc battery by the immersion
of different metallic plates in acid produces c
lectrlcity as by friction, and this is the smpl
and rapid agent OF communication. One ofth
connecting wires is always immersed in a Gu
of mercury, into which other wire is dippc
whenever a stream of electricity is TO be sen
along the entire line. The agency is perfect
understood but the method of uniting or al
breviating Of sending message by mere line
or dots, is a species of handwriting novel i
application and in which there is great mer
, and ingenuity.

with some of the departments, before adjourn.
ment We add the following from the Balti-
more Sun.
This is proverbaly the lion of the day, and
its performances have won for the inventor
much applause. Its practicabilty and useful
ness have been fully tested. No sooner will
the country hear Of it than they will demand
its extensive introduction. It is happy cir
cumstance that with the latest improvements
it is erected with little expenditure; even a
single wire will answer for communication if
the ground is used for half the circuit-ths is
all that is now used between Washington and
Baltimore. 1t is WELL however, to put up two
wires, to insure n circuit, if one wire should be
injured. The whole expense of this Telegraph
is within 5000 per mile, exclusive of the pa
tent.
The question arises, why not make immcdi-
atey an appropriation to extend the Telegraph
during the summer at least TO New York, and
thus see how far Git may be added, how ,rlum-
phantly) it would sustain itself without aid from
the Treasury atlordng Government and in
dividuals the opportunity ofmaking the tcrmi-
nj and intermediate locations, places Of con-
slant communication. 1t is said that a few
hands will put up easily one mile of Telegraph
per day-several gangs could, if required, COM
plete the Telegraph to New York in sixty Or
ninety days. Who would hesitate TO cxpcnd
$4,000 for this laudiblc object, and this sum
is fully adequate ! Railroad companies seem
willing to allow the privileges of setting posts
near their tracks, and might in return have the
benefit of placing on the same posts wire fol
their private use.
And would not the superintendence of thi:
work, under the general direction OF Professor
Morse, be well performed by officers of the army
some Of whom need active service, whicl
would cost the government nothing additiona
to the present pay. May there not be DANCE
in delay! The people wiH hare a Telegraph
If the Government refuses to establish it, thi
dangerous monopoly may fall into the hands o
those who will not only make eXhorbltant de
mands upon the Treasury, but upon the people
Ought not the Government to secure, before
is too late, the right at least to use the inven
tion so far as they found it expedent Thi
privilege would shield them and the people ais
from an cxhorbitant tax for communication c
important news. A single instance of Tcle
graphic despatch is given. The vote for Poll
as nominee for the Presidency, by the Bait
more Convention, was sent 10 Washington
when three cheers were given for him, an
three more for the Telegraph and Mr.. MorS
and all this sent to Baltimore and exhibited
writing to the Convention, before the prcsldiu
officer announced the official result OF the ba
loting TO the Convention. The distance tr
versed was eighty miles, besides about half
mile between the terminus ofthc Telegraph al
the place OF the Convention. The velocity
the Telegraph is, at the lowest com7utatio
t,oo hundred ihoussnd mites per second.
