ABi. Hearted Conductor

Conductor WOodall, of the Little Miami
(0bio) Railroad, noticed young girl in his
train going east and came 10 collect her fare.
He observed that she had but four dollars, al
though she was going to New York, as she said.
He became interested in her, learned that she
lived in in New York, but came west TO work,
and had been taken sick. This story was told
so caudidly that the conductor, who had watch
ed the narrator closely, could not doubt the
truth.
"If that is the case, cannot take your
money" he said
" Indeed, sir, It is true"
Then, take your money back" was his an
swer, and he passed along
After getting through with his collections, he
related the circumstance to a couple Of gen
tlemen passengers, and proposed to head sub
scription list If they would go through the
train and take up a subscription for the
girl The gentlemen readily agreed TO this,
and IN 3 few minutes had the pleasure Of hand
ing to the girl some seventeen dollars, enough
to pay her way to New York. She knew
nothing OF the movement until she received the
money, when her grateful feelings gave vent In
eopious tears No one doubted her honesty.
But Woodall was not satisfied. Before she
left the train, he gave her q memorandum set
ting forth the route she should take, and card,
which he requested her to use instead Of tickets.
On the card was written the following:
To NJ Brother ConduefOrs-I have passed
this worthy young lady on my train to Colum-
bus. A collection was taken up for her, and
seventeen dollars placed in her hands BY the
passengers. For Gods sake, don't take cent
Of it. WOODALL,
Conductor Little Miami r. r.
This, no doubt, enabled her to reach home
safely, and with money in her purse.

A Visit to Professor Morse.
OoTfesloluelle hlVHIsIeI DVIllol113'
PorGHKEEPsIE. Tuesday, Aug. ~, Il


PoUGHKEEPsIE, Tuesday, Aug. IL. 1858.
FRIEND DENocRAr: few weeks since l
had the pleasure, and may say the honor,
too, of a call upon Professor Samuel +. b.
Morse, at his residence, two miles below this
city, upon the old Post Road, over which many
Of your readers have made Winter journeys by
stage in days of yore. / do not intend TO pass
an euIogium upon Mr.. Morse, but this fact Is
impressed upon my mind-that he Is one OF the
most gentlemanly, kind-hearted, unassuming,
and respectinspiring men with whom It has
ever been my lot to meet. / should think HIM
to be about fifty years of age, nearly slI feet IN
height, hair some grey, countenance clear and
healthy. / am told that he eftentmes has his
house filled with visitors, strangers, many OF
whom trespass greatly upon his hospitality.
The Professor has q splendid mansion, situated
forty or fifty rods from the road, upon grounds
extending to the Hudson. From his verandahs
and observatory an almost unriyaled view Of
the river and highlands is obtained. His lawn
Is well planted with rare and beautiful trees
The garien and grsPery show that he has fall
ing fer early Vegetables and good fruit. Before
the telegraph wires upon the Post Road were
taken down and put upon another route, he had
" switch" from the main line 10 his study, where
he could sit and, with the simple instrument
of his own construction. talk by lightning with
his friends throughout the country. W hen some
new company succeeds in laying cable from
another European point, direct to New York.
hop, they will have enough LETT to continue on
up the " American Rhine" and land an end on
the telegraph inventors own soil, SO that he can
reach London, Paris or ST. Petersburg without
going off his domain.
Thirteen times has he crossed the Atlantic,
and, as he called July "a, at the same time he
was nearing the English coast, no doubt pom
dering upon the obstacles of the submarine ca
bic, God was pouring out His blessings upon the
expedition, and crowning mans greatest work
with full success How think you Mr.. Morse
felt when the news was brought TO him that the
cable was successfully laid, and the signals
passed to and fro Must it not have been the
happiest, if not the proudest day of his life
Contrast it with his condition when struggling
to get the capital necessary to make his tirst
experiment on the line from Baltimore to Wash
mgton. Said J. ?. Giraud, Esq, celebrated or
nithOloEist, residing next to the Professor, "Our
Government ought to give Professor Morse five
hundred thousand dollars for his invention, and
throw it open to everybody" The French Gov
ernment has voted about $4,000 to him, and
It is supposed the Russian and some other Eu-
ropean powers will follow IN the same course.
Let US hope they will.

CouyeutiOn in Giddnss District

At late hour of going to press last even.
ing, we learned, through the kindness Of our fel-
low citizen J J. Elwell, Esq, that John Hutch
ins, Esq, of Warren, was nominated late yes
terday afternoon, for COngress,in place Of Josh
ia r Giddings, on the third ballot
THIRD BALLoT.-Hutchins, 49; Giddinga, 81;
R. W. Taylor, .; Jesse Baldwin s-tOtal, sc.
In his speech, accepting the nomination he
said he should never lower the standard raised
and so ably sustained by his distinguished pre-
decessOr one jOt, and the Convention resolved
he should raise it still higher.
Mr.. Hutchins is an able lawyer, and stands at
the head of the bar in TrumbuIl County, hav-
ing been for long time regarded as the best
advocate in that county. He is in politics as
fully radical as Mr.. Giddings, having been q
Liberty Party man since its organization.
Mr. Giddings in his remarks said that he
should go back to Congress this winter and tell
them that he was to be succeeded by younger
and ADLER man, who would fully sustain the rep
utation of the District.

The Put.in-Rnr Celebration.

Great preparations are being made for q
grand turn out at the forthcoming celebration
at Put-in-Bay. Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland, San
dusky, Toledo, Detroit. and all the minor VII
lages and towns on the five Lakes will send
forth their delegations, and Put-in-Bay will see
bigger crowd on the 10th Of September next
than was ever assembled on that famous isle
since the universe was created. The monument
to be erected to Perpetuate the memories Of the
gallant Perry and his brave tars, will soon loom
up on " Gibraltar" at the entrance of the Bay,
and thus become prominent landmark for the
passing vessels for the next indefinite period of
time
It Is intended to have an oration delivered,
commemorative Of the victory of Lake Ere
The celebration of the laying of the corner stone
of the Bunker Hill Monument was immortal
ized by the delivery, by Webster, of the great
est Grafton the world ever heard. So was the
celebration of the Landing of the Pilgrims, in
1870, at Plymouth, signaLzed by the delivery
of another Grafton by the same distinguished
speaker.
Why should not the Put-in-Bay Celebration
be grsced by the presence of an orator, who
would indelibly impress on cur minds for all
time to come the heroic deeds of the youthful
Perry. Such an one is the Hon. Thomas Cor
win. Should Mr. Corwin consent to act as the
orator of the DAY, the magic Of his elOquence
will charm even the rock which cOmpOses the
rugged "Gibraltar," and attract thousands TO
the celebration, who otherwise would not attend.
The selection of Mr.. Corwin would be mani
festly appropriate, and we would respectfully
suggest that he be invited to accept the post of
OrstOr Of the day.

A PoET NEIRLY DRowNED.-On Monday
morning last, as Mr.. Staigg, the artist and Mr
Henry I. Tuekerman, the author, were bathing
at Newport, the latter became disabled. They
had been swimming on race, beyond their
depth, and Mr.. Staigg's skill and strength, it is
probable, alone rescued Mr.. Tnckeman from a
wsiery grave Hearing his companions cry Of
distress, he sustained him until assistance was
no longer needed, and Mr.. Tuckerman was taken
home, where he was quite i'll for day or two
afterwards The accident is attributed to sun
stroke, OF, perhaps, to oyer-exercise in the wa
ter.

PARALYSIS RESULTING FROS TOBACCO I'm
FonED.-Within a few years past TN ioll has
come into very general use in the place of pa
per, as an article in which to put up chewing
tobacco for general use. The change was con-
venient, aud the new article grew into favor
among tobacco ehewers. At hrst consumers
had to pay pretty good price for it, but of late
the article has been cheapened- But it has just
received blow that we think must terminate its
entire use. 1t is now ascertained, and with Sc
we're experience to support 1t, that the TIN foil
has dangerous poisonous qualities. Two cases
have Just arisen that are calculated TO give a
great celebrity to this belief Police Justice
B1gg Of Detroit, and a prominent citizen OF
Cincinnati, have been attacked by severe strokes
Of paralysis, induced. as the physicians declare,
by the poisonous influence Of tiE foil used by
tobacco yenders. If this judgment be sound,
we may expect to see at once general aboli-
ton of the use of the article.

AwTUL.-It has been thought by some of our
citizens that the burning of store boxes, found
lying around lOose, on the occasion of public
jubilee, was bad enough; but in Louisville they
occasionally add woman to the bonfire by way
of variety. The journal, in speaking of the
telegaphic celebration recently had in that city,
says:
"The celebration Tuesday night generally
passed off very well, but we have to announce
the melancholy fact that several women were
probably consumed in one OF the large bOnfres
in the Second Ward. We rode by shortly after
wards and saic the remains Of the hoops.

WASHINGTON.
Rumor, about the ssNationaI Inreliisencsr.'

Rumors about the ssNagional Inteliiseneer."
COres,osdsnee Of The New YORK Times
The politicians are in a little stir about
pretty well authenticated rumor respecting the
LafeLigsaesr. Your readers may not know that
the time honored LaIelligeneer and Its ProPre-
trs hsve foryears been doing a sad business SO
far as money matters are concerned. The pas
sage OF the State Paper job last Winter was
intended to help Messrs. Gales and Selton. But
notwithstanding that, they are IN ditiicultles.-
The farm of Mr. Gales came near being sold at
auction recently, but by great eIertlons the
threatened diaster was temporarily, at least,
averted. The only mode of relief has long
seemed TO be the absolute sale Of the IntsLligen-
Ger. But to do this would be like cutting the
heart-strinps of its owners. Their names and
Ives are completely identified with it. But SO
severe have been their peeuniary difficulties
that parties have offered TO purchase their jour
nal / understand that prominent American
in this city has offered Is high as 100000 for
the entire establishment. he was met by Hat
refusal to CONSIDER the offer-couehed OF course
in polite terms. The gentleman alluded to
was backed By Messrs. Crittenden, Humphrey
Marshall, and other distinguished politicians oi
that ilk. These gentlemen know that the In
ieIligencer does not pay, but doubtless hope 10
lnfuse new life into it. and at any rate make 1t
the advocate of the principles of the American
party. -
There was a report yesterday that Wendell
himself wants to get the paper not however,
desiring to be k10lrR as its owner. This would
give him two strings to his bow-ifthe OPPosI-
ton comes into power he could put in a claim
70 a good share Of spoils, and in case the De
nocracy win, be as popular, as the Union might
hope for big slice of Government cake he
might hope to make this plan work as well as
he did the State Paper job last Winter.
1t is thought by many that Messrs. Gales and
SeatOn will be forced to part with their journal
ere long in spite of their dislike of seyerlng
their connection with IT, If they do, look out
Tor excitement among the political speculators
and job5ers. ffR.

This morning at ten O'Clock, the administra-
trix sale of the estate of the late Gen. PersIfer
F. Smith took place at the auction store Of NJ.
Thomas & Sons, South Fourth street The
attendance was very large, and the bidding
spirited throughout. Among those present,
and who evinced considerable interest in the
sale, we noticed a number OF prominent eiti-
zens, including a large proportion of military
men. The Hon. John Hickman, Of West Ches-
ter, and others from that locality, were also in
the auction rooms.
After the prompt disposal of q number of fine
cut tumblers, sugar bowls, wine glasses, port
monaies mathematical and musical instruments,
engravings, DC, carbine, Colts Patent, new,
with aPPendages, brought S44; Coils sport
ing rifle, with appendages and cartridges,
brought S47; a pair of very superior pistols,
made by Manton," with apparatus complete,
in mahogany case, brought S47 50.
a pair Of gold eqauletes, sIXty-four diamonds,
made in the city OF Mexico, were then offered
for sale, and induced some quite animated bid
ding. General Patterson led all the competitors.
he bidding 800 apiece, when they were knock
ed down TO him for that sum A large number
of other articles, which we have not time to
specify, were then sold in very rapid succession,
and brought exceedingly good prices.
Among the articles offered for sale, but which
had rot been reached 1t the time we left the
auction rooms, were large amount of military
wearicg apparel, chess table, with backgam-
mon board attached The wood Of this
table is made OF the Notifications Of Vera Cruz,
and is superbly carved The checker board is
made Of wood from the flag staff at the City Of
Mexico, made expressly to order ny George J.
Henkel, and has never been in use.
No. 2II on the catalogue Of articles was a
large military arm chair, elegantly carved, made
by the same gentleman, of wood from the foni-
fcaticns of San Juan D'Ulloa, Vera Cruz, and
cost $50. We doubt not that handsome sum
will be realized from this sale.
