MAGNETIC TELEGRApH.--One result of
this astonishing invention, which even vet
seems 10 US more like magic than reality,
has not, we apprehend, been thought Of by
our brethren of the quill. Ii is the change
in the channel through which the most i'm
portant news will pass, and consequent
change in the sources ofearliest information.
These have hitherto been the papers, or
those nearest the seat of news, or at lhe very
spot where much of the news is found or
manufactured.
This important advantage the newspapers
Of the large towns will lose. They will no
longer contain for distant country readers
the latest intelligence. The news of gener-
al interest or importance will reach the
whole line, or the varied lines of the tele-
graph, as soon as it reaches the great towns.
The consequence is that the earliest infor-
nation, heretofore mouopolized by the city.
press, is at once transferred to the various
country presses, each for lis own neigbor-
hood. Each considerable town along the
line ofthe telegraph will have its morning
and evening bulletin, and be discussing the.
very same news, at the ucry same time it is.
discussed IN the. newspapers of the towns
hundred or thousand miles off.
Tine consequence will be, that the latter
will become to their distant readers "stale,
fiat and unproftable." They will treat of
things already known, discussed, and half
forgotten. Dr. Mott, Of Schenectady, told
friend of ours that he frequently read Eas-
tern news frstin the Utica papers. 1t was
one hundred miles west in the
morning by telegraph, printed, and then con-
veyed by railroad eighty niles back, before
Albany papers had travelled sixteen miles
west. This is but specimen beginning
the very fruits, as it were, of the system!
What are we to expect from it, when compile

THE GREAT MARCH HOLIDAY.
ny FANNY FORESTER.

BE FANNY FORESTER.
THE boistcrous, busting, blowing, chilling
month Of March! Uh? it makes me shiver
to think Off! Even its smiles are undesire-
ablU---mud-pfoducers as they are. But yet
it brings, like every other part Of the year,
its own peculiar pleasures Il is, indeed, a
season of the utmost interest and Importance
TO large class,qaile us likely tosupply US with
future statesmen as college walls or city
boundaries. It is strange how much, and
yet how little, we are indebted TO position and
education for what we afterward becomc.--
The pale student, with his elastic face, soul
boauiing eye and graceful step, bows himself
from our presence on commencement day;
while ourhopcs and good wishes go him on
what we believe will be bright career; and
we never hoarof him again. The awkward,
square-shouldered county country lad comes
lrudging into town with bis grain, perhaps at
evening slips away to the leciure-roon.--
We observe neither lis coming nor going,
But if VIC did we could scarce sec the strong
intellect bursting its rough kernel Years
pass, and Suddenly agreal man rises sefe'o
us-,-a kind ofihtcllcciual miracle. The dis
trict school was The nursery Of this intellect;
a couuiry newspaper lent lis aid to foster it,
books, old dry books that those acquainted
with modern literature would never think OF
reading, hedged ii round with common sense;
occasional visiters and occasional visits ad-
ded TO the fund of information which the
newspapers supplied; thought driven to feed
upon itself for want of other food, wrought
itself into giant; and so the wonder grew.
So the district school is very important
thing; and hence we are not disposed to un-
dervaluo the holiday at its close--a great and
important day, not TO be surpassed by Fourth
ofJuly independence Or Christmas teastlng
and frolic. The close of the winter school
is very much like the breaking up of half
tanned menagerie. AS some OF the more
loving sort of animals linger around their
keeper, for old affections sake. SO Lucy OF
Tommy hang, finger in mouth, upon the door
latch, or creep, pussy-ke, near the desk,
halfashamed, yet loath to 60 without the
farewell smile. Others stand undisturbed
and unmoved, like sturdy bruin or Moses
Meecham; while few of the widest, inclu-
ding the whole catalogue of apes, enter up
on some mischievous prank, as Zeke Brown
removes the doorstep or Fred Lightbody
purloins the schoolmaster's spectacles, and
kindly adjusts his wig on one side his head.
But by far the greater par. of these freed
prisofiers (fom both manageries) scamper as
though for dear. life; and scarce knowing
whether their feet are in the air or on the
ground, give such an idea Of Babel as your
Imagination never conjured upon. Oh, those
are very desperate hopefals that in March

Mrs. Schoolcafl was born on Sugar Island,

Her voice is soft and musical, her teeth very
white and handsome, her smile peculiarly
pleasing, and her manners re fined and

MILITARY PUNISHMENT

Thomas Campbell, the poet, in his Letters
fiom Algeria, gives the following description
OF a military execution, fearful indeed, but
still, perhaps unavoidable, SO long as war
continues to be recognised as mode oi
settling nations quarrels:
Troops of cavalry came down from the
lAasbah, with trumpets blowing as gaily as if
it had been military triumph, and regi-
ment of infantry marched beside US out Of
the city gate. We passed the prison where
the victim was confined, and Lagondie
pointed ont TO me the grated windows of his
apartment, through which he was listening
to the last music he was ever to hear in this
world.
'Shorly we reached the ground where his
fate was TO be enacted. We took our stand
on the top ofthe lime rocks, whilst the troops,
one thousand in number, formed three
fourths of square on the plain beneath
AT last, from the prison gate came forth a
company-their drums muffled with Grape
and the victim in the centre on foot, fol-
lowed by the horse and cart which was to
carry back his dead body. lie was quite
unclaimed, and had no priest with him At
first, they beat slow march, but we saw
him wave his hand to the drummers, and
understood it was signal for them TO beat
quick time, which they did, whilst dare
say more hearts than mine quickened their
pulsation. When they halted on the fatal
spot, the commanding officer pulled out
paper, which was the sentence of death, and
he read with a loud and stern voice. Every
syllable that he uttered was audible, though
we stood at considerable distance. Mean
while the sufferer took his station, with bis
back 20 The lime-rocks, with twelve muske-
teers, who were 10 be his executioners, in
front Of him; his air was free and rosolute,
and his step was manly, as | remarked il to
have been all the way down from the prison.
He threw away the segar he had been
smoking, and | could see its red end fading
into blackness, like a foregoing symbol of
his lite's extinction. He then made his
last speech, with a voice that was certainly
not so audible as that of his sentence had
been; but, considering his situation, it was
very firm, and its plaintiveness--oh, talk not
of Sddons's tones!-was more piercingly
and terribly touching than ever heard from
human lips. | cannot pretend that he said in
so many, or rather so few words, what fol-
lows; but though may give more point to
the substance Of this speech, the following
was its substantial meaning.
"Comrades, what my sentence of death
has told you is all truey except il has unjust

desertion--for seduced nobody into il; on
the contrary, was persuaded into it by
Others. The motive ofmy crime was merely
an intense desire to see my fathers family

shed, and my, bFains are 10 be scattered on

where wider than 100 miles, while in partsit
is but so miles in width. Sir Francis Drake
called il new Albion, and the Gulf of Cali

by the shadows of the mountains, gave it
that rich tint. The climate .is course yar-

MORE VOLUNTEERS FROM MIS-
SISSIPPI.

It is now confidently believed land we
think may be regarded as certain that's
demand will shortly be made upon Mlssls'
sppi for an additional number of volun-
teerS.
twill be recollected that when the call
was made upon Mississippi for single
Regiment of Volunteers only, the impress
sion prevailed at Washington, that Gov.
BRowN had, responded TO 1.-The unauthor-
lied demands of Gen. Gaines, aud that
Mississippi had probably sent to the field,
even before the call Of the Secretary Oh
War, 1000 or $500 troops When the
call of the Secretary was received tor. one
Regimentonly, Gov. BRowN demonstrated
with the War Department, and urged that
more Justice should be done TO Mississippi
ans. TO theremonstranceS ofGov. BRowN,
the Secretary of War replied, and gave
positive assurance, that when more troops
were wanted, Mississippi would receive
call.
When, therefore, we consider the posi-
ton which affairs in Mexico have assumed,
coupled with the determination OF the Ad-
ministration at Washington TO prosecute
the War with renewed vigOr, we arrive at
the conclusion, that a call will be made
upon the Southwestern States for the
nul2ber of Louisiana Alabama and Mis-
souri, Volunteers that were discharged at
the end of three months service. Ten
Regimets returned, and we take it that
call will be made upon the Statos OF Mlssls-
sippi, Louisiana and Alabama, for from a,
600 TO 5000 men.
Governor BRowN is daily expecllns nd
vices from the War Department, and we
shall seize the earliest opportunity to lay
any information which may be received,
before the public MiSSiSsippiGn.
