Correspondence of the Argus.


Mr. EDIToR--The following is an advertisement
in late number of a German newspaper, printed at
Pittsburg the ':West Pennsylvania Noats Zeitung"
We have translated it from the German rather
strictly so as to give the peculiar language of the
author, though this may be somewhat at the ex-
pense of euphony If the proposal will stand the
proffered proof, he can certainly claim to be q
leete' ahead of the times, and if government cam
not afford to buy the secret, (though with it they
nav as quick as tightening and with whole-Soul-e-
pierce into that dirty business of the Black Warrior
and Cuba authorities and pitch into them without
-marcu) perhaps one of our cnterprising Express
Offices will pay for it, and run it in opposition to
anything in the steam, air, or wire line. say, Mr.
Editor, you had better with this manuscript to
Adams 4 Co., or to Wells, Fargo & Co-they will
pay you handsome sum for not inserting this COM
munication and will forthwith send to Pittsburgh,
Pa to monopolize the business.
Now the advertisement; it is headed:
EFFECT OF MUTUAL MAGNETISM.
However admirable the performances of the
magnetic telegraph, yet there remains much to de-
sire for our human wants. Leaving aside its
pensiveness, that it requires complicated appara-
tus, that for we're distant places, for instance
across the vast oceans it has not yet been able to
establish communication, and that a secret is not
sufficiently secured by t-there are relations of such
delicate nature and many situations in life, where
this medium of communication cannot be employed.
But there is another, till now unknown way, by
which through the most simple process two persons
may be placed in mutual intercourse, and thus at
any minute, under all circumstances, in manner
impercepble for any body else and in at the great
est distance have communication with each other.
Thus could parents and children, lovers, husbands
and friends be they ever so far from each other,
propagate the tenderest ties, and could hourly call
one to the other Think of thy far-of beloved! !"
"Bc faithful to virtue y 'Do not forget the admo-
nitions of your family nor break your promises and
oaths !" and many perfdies may thus be prevented,
many a temptation which threatens to envolve ruin,
could be overcome. The pang of separation has
ceased, as indeed separation does not exist where
the souls are thus united.
But also for practical life in the restricted sense
of the word, the secret is of incalculabe bearing
The merchant the specuatOr can at any moment
and with velocity mocking time and space, give
orders to his partners and receive from him COM
municatons respective the price OF goods about the
state of the money market and of all and every
thing which may be of interest to them the general
can in case of necessity call together in the quickest
manner all the different divisions OF his army or
give any other necessary ORDER and the scout IN his
death hour even can give him uun n9ticed an account
of his discoveries The ambassador Of a state could
at any moment inform his government respecting
the changing conditions and political events of
foreign country and receive instructions how to act
in short for the varied situations in human life is
this new mode of communication of infinite import
ance.
The possessor OF this secret is inclined to give it
up for suitable indemnfcation to such can ap-
preciate its immense significance; individually he
is actuated-on the one side by misfortune and
considerable losses sustained Immediately after his
arrival in THE country, the other by present po
liticrl relations and lastly by the state of his mind
which attracts him more to quiet scientific studies
to offer it to others for the proper appliance and
gain and for sole and exclusive USE it being itself
understood, that he will demonstrate to the desirous
the test-proof of it.
America is the country which seems destined to
carry out practically the ideas and discoveries of the
old world, and he who puts himself in the possess
sion of this secret will not only remain in the most
delightful and uninterrupted mutual communica-
ton with his beloved family, but he can amass i'm
mense riches and make himself master of the money
market. Yes, people whose sovereign would en-
ploy this expedent properly, must conquer in every
war, must become the first people of nations and
ruler of the world.
About the nature of the process thus much may
here be intimaed, that it is based upon the same
natural connexion in nature, which causes the wine
to foam up in the barrel when the vine branch
blossoms on the hill side. 1t is sympathy of living
nature elevated into the sphere of consciousness
power to employ and to make subservient must be
as much permitted to mankind as is any other
power of nature. Dr. RUDOLF RINDER.
