NEW AND IMPORTANT INTENTIONAL MAG
NETIC PRINTING TELEGRAPH

lELEORAPH.
The application of this hidden ard mysterious
power, TO the purposes of the rapid transmission
OF intelligence is yet in its infancy. There is
now in this city telegraph moved by the power
of electro magnetism, which performs that which
in our boyish days. we would not have believed,
IT we'had read it in the Arabian Nights. Wehave
seen specisen OF printing done with the usual
letters Of the alphabet, and as legible to child
as the clearest type, which was executed at one
end of a magnetic wire, through direction given
at the other. 1t is true as incredible as the state
ment may seem TO be, that man might, if the
wires were laid, now sit at New York and, with
more rapidity than our best compositor can set
type, print az New Orleans a letter or despatch
In the ordinary letters OF our language.
In a few days this invention will be made more
generally known. when we will be at liberty to
speak of it more fully. At present arrangements
are making for the perfection of the patents here
and in Europe. The telegraph itself we have not
seen,.and in making the statements with regard
TO 1t are obliged TO speak little incautiousy from
hearsay. But as far as our inquiries go, there is
no reason to doubt the representations that have
been made TO us on this subject; and as the prac-
ticability of the thing itself, that il has been
discovered, carries no mprobability upon the face
OF 1t, 1t need not be questioned. The effects of
this invention can hardly be anticipated. The
substitution Of the usual alphabet for the hero
g'yphlcs of Morse's telegraph. is an important
wonderful discoveries of the age.-N Y Post.
The New York Courier noticing the recent
treaty between England and France, with regard
TO the Slave Trade, says "the Paris Constitution
al states that the French government has pur-
chased from the British Cabinet the concession
OF The revision of the treaties, by pledgng itself
to oppose the annexation of Texas to the United
States. The assertion that such pledge was
required and g wen, is made explicitly. and it is
further alleged that the President of Texas had
been induced by the French and English agents
| In that country, to postpone Till late day the
convocation of Congress, by promise to procure
the recognition of Texas by Mexico, and the a.
doPtion by England of the debt of Texas, in re-
turn for Treaty TO be hereafter entered into IA
vorable to the admission of English manufactures
into that country. 1t protests very energetcally
against such arrangement, as evincng bad faith on
the part of the French Government towards the
United States, and insists that France should
have remained entirely neutral in the matter.''

Friend Chandler: There Is one enterprise TO
which beg leave 10 call the attention Of the
cilzeus of your goodIy cily Of broiherly love,
as of more importance to them just now than
any Thing they have on hand. according TO my
Judgment You have long complained of The
efforts made by New York TO carry off the trade
of The northeastern portion Of the state, and yet
you let all these efforts be carried into effect
without even attempting, by the only feasible
plan you could adopt, TO prevent them. My
theory always has been to give 10 the citizens
OF each stale the opportunity OF going TO the
nearest and best market, without regard 10
whether in this or that of The states of The Un-
ion; and if | can show you that, by improving
the conveniences which Philadelphia possess
es, she can not only compete, but compete with
decided advantages in her favor with New York
for The trade Of all the counties in Pennsylvs-
that of those of New Jersey and New York
bordering on the same stream, aud can push a
better communication than by any other route
nearly half way TO Lake Ene, 50 as to inter-
sect The New York and Erie Railroad in such
manner as TO give Philadelphia al least equal
advantages from that road with those which
New York will derive from it. | trust that
shall be enabled to waken up The sleeping en-
ereies of YOUR citizens and call them ino &C.
tion for these purposes
The enterprise propose is a railroad from
Philadelphia TO Carpenters Point.
The distance will mol exceed l25 miles,
The road, with very ltlle exception, will be as
regular and steady grade rs The Reading raL-
road, and the cost will not exceed lwo millions
of dollars.
The route which ! propose is to leave the
state railroad (not from Phladelpha to Colum-
ba) on the east side of the river Schuylkill at
Peters Island bridge, thence up The Schnylkili
and Wissahiccon 10 Montgomery Square, thence
by the vicinity Of Doyleslown 10 Lnmbervil!e
on the DelaW are. and thence up bas stream by
Easlou, the Delaware Wafer Gap. &c, 10 Car
penier's Point, at which place YOU meet the
New York and Erie Railroad.
The distance by this route from PHILADELPHIA
to Eason will be less than 90 nile,, and lhenee

Parting Song.
BY ELIZA COCK.

ALi6A SONh-
Come let US part with lightsome heart,
Nor breathe one chiding sigh,
To think that wings of rainbow plume
So soon should learn to fiy.
We scarcely like the chimes to strike
That tell of pleasures flight,
But Friendships chain when severed thus,
Is sure TO e-unite.
Then why not we as merry be;
Though this song be the last,
Believing other hours will come "
As bright as those just past!
The wild birds song is loud and long,
But the sweetest and the best
Is whisied as he leaves the bough,
To seek his lonely nest
The suns rich ray shines through the day;
But flashes deeper still
While darling forth his farewell ray
Behind the Western hill.
Then why not we as merry be,
In this our parting strain.
For, like the bird and sun, we'll come
With JOY and warmth again.
The moments fed, like violets dead,
Shall never lose their power
For grateful perfume ever marks
The Memory's withered flower,
The sailors lay, in peaceful bay,
With gladstone mifth rings out;
But when the heavy anchors weighed,
He gives as blithe shout
Then why not we as merry be;
In this our parting strain,
And trust as gallant sailors do,
To make the port againl

And mOcks the threatening gale.
