There. through long ages past, those SUBMITS shone,
W hon morning radiance on their state as thrown:
There, when the summer days career done,
Played the last glory of tho sinking sun:
There. sprngling beauty DER tho torrents shade,
The chassened moon her slitterns rainbow made;
And, bient with pictured stars hes lustre lay,
Where TO still wales the free streams leaped away.
Where are tho throngpg hosts of other days,
Whose banners foated DER the Alpine ways,
who through their high deiles to battle wouad,
While deadly ordnance stirr'd the heights aroundl
Gone like dream which mel,s early morn,
When the lark's anthem through the sky is borne;
Gone like the hues tina, melts oceans spray,
And chill oblivion murmurs-where are they.

M0KSE's TELEGRAPH.-We learn from the
Baltimore American. that the Improvements which
are in contemplation. and which havo already
been projected by Professor Morse. show that his
newly-inyontcd Electro Magnetic Telegraph, al
though apparently perfect at first. is yet in its in
fancv:-and there is very little doubt that before
long detailed and minute communication can be
made BY It with the same rapidly that an crdl-
nary letter be written. Some experiments re-
Gently have been made which have been attended
with great success, the results of which Will DO
given TO the public soon they are tested 70 be
OF undoubted utility.
The American intmatos that project Is IN
contemplation to establish Immediately 4 line OF
ma ghetto communications between Boston and
New York and that the funds necessary for this
undertaking are nearly all subscribed. II IS not
impossible that the line may be completed before
the winter sets in. The principal object IN con-
temptation is to receive in New York the earliest
news by the English Steamships: and III order to
effect this desirable object with the greatest pos
siblo despatch. an improved mode of telographic
communication Of great simplicity, is to be ado
pied board Of the steamers. SO that rs soon as
tho steamer approaches Boston, signals, either by
sight or tho sound of cannon, will be made to the
Geographic station on the coast, aHd the news
Immediately transmitted to New York. Thus,
before the arrival of the vessel in Boston, the
news brought by her will be known IN the city
of New York.
A project has also been started to erect a line
between New ! orb and Philadelphia but we learn
that very little has yet been done 10 carry out the
plan.
