DAYS ago short account of Bain's new Tele-
graph which is soon to go into operation at the
East. AS our readers may feel an interest in
the matter we copy from the Louisville Courier
of Tuesday, the following extracts respecting
the invention, from several papers at The East.
Our first quotation is from the New York Ex
press, of the 81 inst; in an editorial article Of
that date. the Express says:
From ONE THOUSAND LETTERS TO ONE THOU
SAND WORDS IN A MINUTE.-The most extraor-
binary invention of the age is the chemical tel
egraph of Mr.. Balm, now IN this city. Won
derful as are the present systems for transmit
ting intelligence, this, upon an entirely new
plan. appears 10 excel them all The rapidity
/ of communication from one to an almost int-
mite number of stations, is among the wonders
of this instrument. This intelligence may be
prepared in England, or on board steamer,
ready for the electrical machine, and the ma
chine once started, the news flies, If possible,
with more than the Tapidity of thought. By
this rapidity, one wire is made TO take the
place of many, and thus the expense will be
greatly diminished Mr.. Balm is the fortunate
Inventor of several systems of telegraph. There
is the hey telegraph, the expense of which Is
not more than ten dollars, and this serves ad-
miraby for way stations, and is as apid as any
now in use.
The Copying Telegraph transmits a fac siuiie
of the band writing OF the party sending the
lcomuunication the advantage of which must
be obvious to every one. The last though not
the least of advantage of these telegraphs is
that they are based on the direct and continu-
Gus application of single science, that had
not been so applied previous to the completion
of Mr.. Bain's inventions, therefore the public
have an assurance, first against interference
with the rights OF others, and second, that 9th
ers cannot interfere with these.
! Another curiosity here is that all these ad-
yantages likewise apply TO clocks, which Will
run three years and upwards without cleaning
and without any attention 10 the source oil cleo
tricity, and the same time is regularly lndlca
, ted, the year through, without winding or any
other attention TO the instrument. however
many clocks may be employed in dwelling
mandatory, or hotel, each will Indicate the
same time as all the others. All the clocks II
{ city or district may be made 10 indicate th'
some time, and this may be corrected Tor th'
meridian of the place and the correct time, aut
il may be- arranged as extensively and effective
ly in the general operations as the usual sup
$ ply of gas or water.
These are certainly very wonderful results
e but our readers are we'll prepared for them, fo
e we gave minute detail of Mr.. Bain's entir,
: apparatus some months ago, which We extract
ed from "Sharpe's Shilling Magazine" Wher
the apparatus was exhibited inithe city Of New
!. York BY Mr.. Balm, several months since. The
: work was 50 perfect, and so extraordinary, tina
Mr.. Kendall, as the Argus Of Morse's monopo
e ly, was constrained to admit lis merits. Ii
e did not shower upon it his usual stereotype
N phrases of piracy, humbug, &c. &c, but as
( sailed il BY declaring that Prof Morse had al
e ready entered cGuedt in the patent office for
S similar invention, and as Mr.. Kendall admit
ted that Mr.. Morse claimed to be the inyento
N OF an apparatus similar TO Mr. Bain's, of cours
d it is perfect in his estimation. Ii will not
oi to call Mr.. Balm hnmbug now, for that woul
Il involve Prof. Morse in the same charge. MI
r Balm killed of Prof. Morse's cqucat by show
t, ing that his English patent bore a date nearly
u gear older than the date of Morse's cGreai, all
20 thus Mr.. Balm is triumphant.
b. The New York Express" of the 4th inst
IL quotes the following articles from the papeI
q credited by it. The Express" says:
