MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH LINE BETWEEN TaR
ATLANTIC AND MIssIssIPPL-By an article in
the Albany Argus we learn that Amos Kendall,
agent for the patentee, Mr.. Morse, is making
arrangements TO construct a line of magnetic
telegraph from the Atlantic 10 the Mississippi.
1t will commence at Philadelphia connecting
with The lines from New York and Washiny.on,O
and run SO as to touch att the state capitals and
large towns that can conveniently be reached on
the route TO st Louis.
Branch lines will run Southwardly from this
main route to the capitals Of Kentucky and Ten.
nessee, and to the cities below Pittsburgh on
the Ohio River, SO as to include Wheeling,
Cincinnati and Louisville; and other branch
lines will run Northwardy from the main route
so as to include the principal places along the
lakes, between Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, Nil.
waukie, &c. The arrangements for completing
this great central line are entrusted by Mr.
Kendall to Henry O'Reilly; and it is UNDER
stood that en- ugh OF the work will be finished
with despatch for transmitting to Harrisburgh
(if not to Wheeling via Pittsburgh, or even to
Columbus in Ohio) an abstract Of The President's
message at the commencement Of the next ses.
sion OF Congress,
Energetic arrangements are already ia prog
ress for completing the seaboard line Of tele.
graphs, at various points-between New Orleans
and Mobile, between Baltimore and New York.
between New York and Boston, and between
Boston and Buffalo. A line from Troy TO Schs-
nectady, and another from Troy TO Greenbush /.
would enable our citizens to avail themselves.
at slight cost, OF the advantages TO be derived
from the great line leading from Boston TO Buff
/ falo. In case, however, it should be deemed
advisable to have continuous line Of wire from
Boston to Buffalo, instead Of using the Hudson
river as a conductor between Greenbush and
Albany, the Troy route would of course Be
adopted for the main line.
The expense Of constructing the magnetic
telegraph need not exceed $3.50 per mile

ROBERT BURNS.

The last number of the Christian Examiner
contains review Of Rev. Mr.. Putnam's Phi Be-
ia Kappa Grafton. The writer pays the follow.
ing eloquent and just tribute TO the character of
Burns -" The class is not small of the sons of
genius and song to which Byron belongs, and OF
which he is the head. But there is one whose
name sometimes is put with it, whom we can
not consign to such an association. We mean
the bard of Scotland. Burns is not of this class
and we could not even mention him in this con-
necton, had not his example been introduced
as a warning,-not much to the purpose of his
argument, as it seems to us,-by Mr.. Putnam in
his grafton. 1t cannot be said of Burns, that
Judged by any standard, even the highest he
failed of success, as poet Nor will it be saiS
that he owed his success to his head and not tc
his heart,-to his intellectual gifts rather thar
to his moral graces. Burns was not bad man
man destitute Of good principles. To him witt
looks beyond the outside of character, who pier

LET THERE BE LIGHT"
BY EBENEZER ELLIOTT.

God said let there be light;
Grim darkness felt his might,
And fled away;
Then started seas, and mountains cold
Shone forth, all bright in blue and gold,
And cried, IT'S day It's day!
Hail holy light! exclaimed
The thunderous clouds that famed
Der daisies white;
Aud 10! the rose, in crimson droes'd,
Leaned sweetly DER the lily's breast
And bushing murmur'd "Light."
Then was the SIX lark born;
Then rose the embattled corn;
Then floods of praise
Flowed DER the sunny hills Of noon,
And then in stillest night the moon
Poured forth her pensve rays;
Lo! heavens bright bow is glad!
Lo! trees and flowers, all clad
In glory, loon.
And shall the immortal sons of God
Be senseless as the untrodden clod,
And darker than the tomb ?
No; by lhe mind of man,
BY the smart artisan,
By God, our sire!
Our souls have holy light within,
And every form of grief and Sin
Shall see and feel lis fire.
BY earth, and hell, and heaven,
The shroud of souls is riven.
Mind, mind alone
Is light, and hope, and life, and power,
Earth's deepest night from this blest houl
The night of mind is gone!

the place in which he lives should do all he
can to encourage its mechanics, and he who

WHEELING AND LOUISVILLE,


We published on Tuesday a letter from a
correspondent then in Cincinnati. suggesting
the formation of a Wheeling and Louisville
line OF steamboats,. Ii j. a subject that we
Nave often suggested; hut the remark made By
our correspondent lead us to reflect again upon
the matter as worthy of consideration par
,i%cularly at this period. and we would take
this opportunity of presenting the subject in
form To our citizens, as one worthy of serious
consideration and action. Tn r. now exists,
proicsscdly, n line of boats from Pittsburgh to
Cincinnati, made up OF boats mostly owned
at Pittsburgh. They leave that place at nine
or ten o'clock in the morning, and arrived
here in the evening. Here they design Ia
make up ileir freight and passcuger RS and COON.
On their return trip they labor as hard as pos
sible, ling owned in Pittsburgh, To induce
every passenger To go on up. The custom
thay receive IN this place, is thus paying the
greatest portion of their profits, while theil
whole influence is thrown against us. The
same state of facts exists in regard To Louis
vile aud Cincinnati. Ii seems to us there
'oiV bIdN Nuc ilttIcsl Oh pplu places requires
a decided and effective cnort TO counterac,
this opposition to our interests, and we can
see no better rcsource than in the establish
mcnt of a line of boats to run between this
city and Louisville.
This purpose would bc accomplished more
easily, by the fact that all southern travel
will, by existing circumstances, he thrown a,
preferable points TO Louisville and Wheeling.
The abolition spirit existing in Cincinnati
and which has been a serious Inconvenience
to Southern travellers, of stopping in Cincin.
natl or Pittsburgh, would be avoided, and
that line would be patronizcd BY all
Sou,hcrncrs, in addition to the ordinary pat
Tonagc OF the public.
The freight and business of louisville is by
no means small, and the shipping business oil
this city is now heavy, and would afford am.
pie support for a line from this point. Would
it not be well for the board of trade and citi.
e n generally, to take some action i'll thi.
matter!
