Magnetic Telegraph.


Sir :On the 9th Of January last under the head OF
Improvements In the Electro Magnetic Telegraph"
article appeared in the Herald noticing patent hat
for q mode Of establishing independent circuits for
working telegraph registers where but one wire 10
used as the OF the electric between the two
points In communication
That notice called out letter, published In the He
rsid Jan 18th, sigaed 90 Hicks" in which It de-
MED that an the inventor Of the improvement for
which have obtained patent and In which Mr. Saml
Colt is referred to as the inventor
Contamination in answer to the letter OF A Hicks
on the day of s appearance In the Herald accompanied
by an afidav from Mr. Joseph p Nash fixing the time
OF making my invention prort to my acquaintance WIN
Mr. Colt. or his visit to the telegraph once, At ia
Broadway, referred to in the letter Of O hicks"
The crowded state Of your columns prevented the
psarance Of that COMMUNICATION but time has ssetusy
settled the question. by giving Mr. Colt and ". n.
Hicks time to prove themselves ignorant o. nvsn
both ways one wire In that letter, 20. H. Hicks"
says do not deem to add any thing more
the well known fact that Mr. Colt has constructed two
lines Of telegraph be operate on this PLAN one from
isst. ana one from Boston 10 The ong Of that hsrbor
completed about the 2Sh Of the same month during the
construction Of which, the errangemens Of Mr. Colt ior
operating his batteries his improved PLAN could not
have escaped the observation Of Mr.. Cornell"
Now for the facts in the The Boston and odins
operation on any plan, and the New York and tOnsy
slsnd line has been completed as far as Brooklyn and
date Of H. Hicksa the plan OF Nlorse's de.
pendent circuit 1t is true that Mr. tCo has had bate
ries both ends Of his to the present time no
has not succeeded in working his line with Independent
circuits his two batteries when used at the extreme
ends his line have been both thrown in the same cir
cult and his registers worked with the closed depend
ent circuit.
Mr. Colt may (knowing that Independent circuits can
be esabshed ultimately succeed in hitting on the pro.
per arrangement to produce independent circuits but
his failure thus far to effect it, even with the assistance
of o H. Hicks" proves conclusively that there is no
foundation in truth in the assertions made in o. II
Hickss T" letter. Yours, respectfully,
