MoRsE's ELEcTRo-MAGNETIc TELE-
GRAPH.-Since the adjournment Of Con-
gress Professor Morse has been engaged
in series of experiments which have re-
suited in simplifying the structure ofthe
Telegraph, and by dispensing with the
large battery, at once expensive and
cumbrous, have adapted it both in cost
and form, to the convenience and means
ofindividuals and neighborhoods. In the
experiment designed to exhibit the prac-
tical utility ofthe apparatus to Congress,
the Professor used eighty cups, and his
original estimate of the number necessary
to effect communication between Wash
ington and Baltimore comprehended at
least one hundred. But he has now re-
duced the battery to ten cups, and by
this battery the two independent instru-
ments are operated at the same time, with
out the slightest interference of one with
the other.
The practicability of crossing rivers
without subjecting the conductors to dis
turbancc from anchor, sc if laid at the
bottom, and without mourning the expense
and inconvenience of carrying them on
spars above the the tops of vessels masts,
has been completely established by repeated
experiments, which prove that no ~ires
need pass through, ADORE or beneath the
mater, in crossing ricerS nth the Ieie-
graph. The ocater itself is made by Pro-
fessor Morse's arrangement the efficient
conductor Of the electrical luid.-Ne
can do no more American, from which we
have ascertained the foregoinging facts,
than to give suggestion which we learn
was made by the Professor himself, that
should there be constructed line of Tele-
graphic conductors along the Connect
cut shore of the Long Island Sound, and
also along the Long Island Railroad,
every town Of the Long Island Shore and
also on the Connecticut Shore would be
in certain and constant communication
with each other, without the necessity of
any other connection but the water Of the
Sound.-Jour. of Com.

though we have not rcciprocated since the
great failure, March 81. 1874, it appears
from letters published to and from brother

are itineraling at the West, last at Cleaveland
and Cincinnati. The ground now taken is,
that the failure (only mans time proves
nothing, and that the advent and destruction

come. 1t will, next, like aGti- Slavery, take

AND STILL ANOTHER.

DAVID LEE CHILD, the former editor of
the Anti-Slaveiy Standard, the best
Liberty" paper in the country, was pre-
sent at a whig Ratification Meeting in
northampton, Mass, held short time
since. He delivered an address, says the
Gazette, replete with fervid eloquence
and unanswerable augmentation, against
the doctrines and conduct of the Loco
focos, and in favor of Wing principles
He regarded the Wing party as the great
est instrumentality now existing for the re-
moyal of slavery. He should therefore g..
into the political campaign for the Wing
candidates with his whole soul. We hail
Mr.. Child as powerful coadjutor in the
Wing cause No imam can render i, bet
ter service.

WooL.-A Market has been opened at
Nashville for Wool. A French house, of am
pie means, will, it is said, purchase all the
wool produced in that section ofTennessee,
to the extent of million of pounds.
Does not the State Printer think 1t is very
hard that the foreign consumer of this article
of domestic produce should be compelled, by
the operation of a Wing Tariff. and solely to
benefit the home producer-the farmer-to
pay higher price than he will have to pay

A HAPPY OmEN.-During the speech
ofGen. Coombs at New-Haven on the 4th,
most pleasing incident occurred, which
is thus alluded t" in the report of the New
Haven Courier;
If we fail to elect Clay now continued
Gen. {. the experiment of Free Govern
ment is failure. If a man like James
X. Polk can be elected over a man like
Henry Clay, there is no use in talking
hereafter of rewarding public services.
Look at the pedestals upon which all the
Presidents rose to power. George WASH
ington Thomas Jefferson, all of them down
to Van Buren,. whom the Democrats lately
called from Lindenwald to New-York to
be pail bearer at his own funeral. Tyler
we will not mention. But oh, where will
Folks pedestal be found! l tell you that
the Democrats who may vote for him now
will be ashamed to acknowledge it to their
posterity, and they'll deny that they were
al home or at all rather than confess to
their indignant offspring that they voted
for James K. Polk. Now look at the
pedestal of Henry Clay, rising higher and
higher for the last forty years. Aye. see
him like an eagle with untiring pinion,
soaring against the sun. (Here the au-
dience were starteled by the cry of "An
Eagle, An Eagle" Every eye was raised
towards the Heavens, and there with
outspread wings, the proud bird of our
country seemed to pause as if delighted
with the scene beneath him. Gen.
Coombs looked up and exclaimed-"Oh,
pround bird of my country's banner, ac-
cept the omen. Long, long may you soar
in majesty above those banners waving

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.
SIXTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
The Steamship Hibernia, Capt. Judd
kins, arrived at East Boston on We'd
nesday morning, at half past seven o.
clock, bringing sixteen days later intel
ligence from Europe. She experience
ed very rough weather and storms off
the coast. she made her passage,
however, in sixteen days.
1t will be seen that Gen. Duff Green
has arrived in the Hibernia.
The fine steamship Britannia, Capt.
Hewitt, which sailed from Boston on
the 10th ult., and from Halifax on the
10Th, arrived out at an early hour on
Thursday, having made the run from
Halifax in ten days. AT all seasons OF
the year and fin all emergencies, these
noble vessels maintain their high char
acter for speed and regularity.
Trade has been dull, but business had
revived little just on the departure Of
the steamer. The stock of cotton
in Liverpool at the present time is
heavy; 100000 bales American against
100000 in the corresponding period
Of last year, which leaves an excess Of
the present over the former year of
less than 100000 bales. If the rumor
which prevails. that government in
tends to allow a drawback on the sta
pie, be correct, such a measure will o.
pen wide field for export.
A writer says:-"The prices being
so much lower here than in the United
States, i, is probable we shall have a
fair export demand; this and the small
comparative import up 10 the end OF
the year wiz cause our slock to approx
innate near TO the corresponding peri
cd OF last year"
There has been tolerably good de-
mand during the last week, says the
European, and the prices of middling
and inferior descriptions Of American
have advanced shade, while in the
better qualities little or no change has
taken place. The sales durln. the
week have averaged about 1000 bales
per day, which, considering That This
is the dulest period of the Manchester
market, is a tolerabiy fair demand

J.. @. ~PATTEnsoE, Esq.-SirI noticed in
the Gazette Of the 30th March last, certain in
terrogatories p~ropounded TO The candidates for
the convention which are TO meet in August
next in the town Of Jackson.
LIST. My views has always been that when the
delegates meet in convention they have the
power to alter amend or change the donstl-
tuition as they may deem proper.
I'd. That all Public officers should be elected
by the voice of the people, exceptthe Dis
trict and Supreme Judges, to be elected by
the joint ballot Of the geaeral assembly, for
a short term and not be eligible for q second
term.
Sd. That the right of suffrage should be exten-
ded to all free white male citizens Of the
United States, of the necessary age and res
idencs, regardless to any property quail
ifications.
4th. No debt SHOULD be contracted by the State,
beyond the usual revenue, nor the faith OF
the State pledged, unless something Of an
unusual occurrence, such as instruction
or invasion.
5th. have always been opposed to have the
salaries Of public officers fixed in the con-
stitution, believing It should be leftin the
power Of the Legislature to raise or lower
II according to the pressure Of the times. ]
could suggest many more Of my views, but
as / deemed il Unnecessary, as | stated
above that ! believe that the convention
had full power to make such alterations as
they see proper.
/ am respectfully your obedient servant.

Vaughan.
GENTLEMEN.-I see in the Baton Rouge
Gazette Of last week, some in~terrogatories
pnt to me by you and a request for me to an
sWer them as early as possible, relating to
the powers of the Convention, which is to
meet in Jackson in August next, which I
shall answer in as plain and short manner as
/ can write them:
1st. My opinion is that when a majority of
the delegates meet in Convention, they will
not only do what they think best, but will
have a perfect right to do so-either to alert
amend or change the Constitution as they
think proper or right.
Cd. I believe all the officers of the state
should be elected by the people, and for short
terms, except the judges of the District and
Supreme Conrts-those officers, | think,
should be as independent as possible, and
if elected by the people, should hold their Of
fees for six or eight years, aad should not be
eligible for a second term. But if choaen by
the Legislature, i should be by the joint bal
lot Of both houses, and for short terms. /
have no opinion that any officer of this state,
should be for life or hold an Office for lie.
Id am of opinion that every free white
man of2I years Of age, having lived in this
state for one year and in the parish for six
months, shall be entitled to vote, and every
man having a right TO vote, must have a right
to hold office, if he can be elected by the peo-
pie.
4th ! am Of opinion that the Legislature
should not have the power to pledge the faith
of the state for any thing, except in case of
invasion, insurrection or education.
There are many other questions which
might be asked and answered, but / refer
you TO the address of Messrs Scott, Read and
Combs. think that address comes up to
my opinion, as near as can be, except relative
to the judiciary and on that point / have Civ
en- my views above.
Respectfully your obediapt servant.

L Rock GAZETTE Of the 18th says
The late freshets in Red River, Washita
Sabine, arkansas and White rivers, have
done immense danger to property along their
whole extent, and greatly disappointed the
Just expectations Of the farmers and planters.
Along The arkansas river, the damage done
to the crops, and the loss Of stock, &c, must
amount TO from eighty to one hundred thou
sand dollars. The high water came when
the cotton was just up, and continued until
a period TOD late successfully TO plant. Even
If it were not TOO late 10 plant, the fences are
generally swept Of, and, before they could be
repaired, tile season would be too far advan-
ced. In addition to this, seed is very scarce,
and it is mare than probable half of the plan
tiers will not be able to procure it.
The RED RIVER, REPUBLICAN, contains &C
counts Of 4 great overflow and immense loss
Of property on Red River, The town of Al
exandria was under water the leVee had Civ
en- way In several places, and much further
damage wac anticipated, The loss sustained
BY the planting interest on the river connoI
be less than a million and half of dollars.
