LocoMoTIoN IN THE UNITED STATEs.-The
London Times of the Sth has an article of four
or five columns in length on the progress of the
United States in the various methods of locomo-
ton, in which our river, canal, and railway
systems are discussed at length. 1t says:
England has been so dazzled by the splendor
of her own achievements, in the creation of
new art to transport by land and water, within
the last thirty years. as to become in measure
insensbe to all that has been accomplished in
the same interval, and in the same department
of the arts, elsewhere"
The Times closes its account with the remark
that the social and commercial phenomena of
this country are without q parallel in the his
tory of human improvements, and that if the
accounts of them were not founded on inoon-
testable statistics, they would appear to belong
to fable rather than fact.

Correspondence of the American Telegraph
PORTSMOUTH, Oct. II, 1851.


10 The Editors Of the american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: The flags at the Navy Yard,
and Of the vessels afoat, are at half mast and
at noon the ship of the line Pennsylvania thun-
dered forth the doleful tidings that the great
and good lives no more in the person of the
brave and generous Warrington. Peace to his
ashes!
The news of the defeat of Johnston, in Penn
sylvania, was received here with feelings of
satisfaction rather than otherwise, even by
those belonging to the party with which he is
affiliated. All concede that to the course he
has seen fit to pursue, on questions Of momen-
tous interest to this Union, involving the lives
of its citizens, the laws, and the Constitution
itself, is to be attributed this unmistakable
rebuke of the sons of the Keystone State. That
justice, ample and full, has been meted out to
him, none ought to deny. May all who aspire
to fame through the ballot-box, holding similar
views, and pursuing similar policy, no matter
to what party they may adhere, receive at the
hands of the people a just recompense for their
temerity.
The elections in this State, for members of
Congress and the Legislature, will be held on
Thursday next. poll will also be opened for
and against the new Constitution-the latter to
be held for three days. Gen. John S. Nilsson
is the Democratic, and Leopold G.. 2. Cowper
the Wing candidate for Congress in this, the
First district. Both of these gentlemen have
been very active in the campaign, and have
spared no pains to enlighten the dear people,
and obtain their suffrages. Both are men Of
talent, and anxious for seat in Congress but
presume the country will have to wait for the
services of either one or the other of them yet
little longer, and, as there is here difference
of opinion as to which it shall be, we will have
to wait until the people make selection, and
settle the question for the politicians.
Yours, sc. NADEL.

Cato the sentcntious,
Lent his fair lady TO his friend llortcnsius.'

Now, Captain K, on learning the state
of the young Londoner's affections, although
himself q secret worshipper at the shrine of
the same divinity, resigned his own pretensions,
and actually undertook to plead with the fair
enslaver for his friend. Great was the intimacy
of course that succeeded and at the apart
ments of Madame La c., morning, noon,
and night, the young Englishman might have
been found.
Play was cautiously Misunderstanding was
staked but a mere bdgdteUe-beyond the hazard
of trihe, it was evident that any experiment
would be dangerous. The day for the citizen
departure was fixed, and it was pretty certain
the bird would escape the net Of the fowler
Could be have been but led to play, he would
| have been cheated scientifically. That was not
to be done, and nothing could succeed but bold
and downright felony
Madame's birthday returned, as it did some
twenty times year, and she gave n petit SoUpcr.
K sent in the wine, and the citizen provided
the viands merrier evening could not be
spent Two or three ladies', and rs many gen.
tlemen of high honor, favored La c. with
their company. There was play, limited to a
few francs, and, on the Englishman's part, to
gloves and garters. Supper was served-all
was hilarious-the wine circulated freely, and
all the Londoner remembered in the morning,
he had become unaccountably drunk, and got
home he knew not how.
lie strove to get up, but his temples throbbed
almost to bursting. An excess in wine had
never affected him so before; could this arise
from simple drunkenness? The sensation was
altogether new. The truth was he had not been
drunk, bnt drugged
While rolling his aching head from side to
side upon the pillow, his tdcquey de place an
nounccd his dear friend the captain; and, next
minute, Little Joe" was standing at his bed
side.
Good heaven I" exclaimed the citizen, "how
awfully drunk L must have been last night !!
My very brains on fire."
"Drunk ~ returned his companion "you
were not drunk, but mad-what devil possessed
you to play? D--n it, you always sworc you
hated it, and every score Of nGps you lost, you
would, though warned you, lay it on thicker" !"
