Iohn 9. Rhltrtsr o. ths cri.i..

John G. Whittier has written a letter to a
Republican meeting at HaEerhiIl, Mass, in
which the following passages occur
"a great responsibility is laid upon u.s.
We must prove that we deserve our success
by asking nothing Of any class Of our fellow
countrymsn, North OF South, but what i
morally and legally right, and yielding to
nothing which is morally and legally wrong.
We must be firm, but not defiant; we are too
strong in the right a d in our maiorities to
answer railing with railing. We can afford
to be moderate and generous. With slavery
in the States we have no right to interfere,
and no desire to do so beyond the mild per-
suasi6n Of the successful example of freedom;
but outside of state sovereignty, slavery has
no more legal right or constitutional guaran-
ty than polygamy u of Utah, Its home is
only in the States; everywhere else it is an
outlaw.
81 cannot but regard the menace of disun-
ion from the South as more likely to prove
~misehieYous than really dangerous. It may
do injury to the industrial and financial in
terests of the country, but the evil will work
its own cure. Business menRt the South will
not long indulge in the childish folly Of set
ting FIRE to the clothes on their backs, in the
expectation that their neighbor's fingers will
be scorched in putting it out. The clamOr
that the Union should be dissolved, because
extensionists are out-yoted, for the first time
in twenty years, is simply ludicrous. 1t is a
quarrel with the census tables, and Greenleafs
arithmetic figure three complaining thatitis
not equal to figure 6ve.P

A Youur Nan RObbsr.

A transaction, or rather a series Of trans
actions have come to light in Chicago, which
show that a young man named John Camp
bell train boy on the Chicago, Burlington
and Qainey Railroad, has carried On a sgs-
tematie robbery Of the mails in t~Eansporta-
ton over Tlat road, until the amount of his
-deprsdaGons reaches the SUN Of tOelUs thOus-
andaoHrs. Campbell is the son Of Alexan-
der Campbell, a retired clergyman of New
port, Mich. He is about twenty years Of
age. and ran away from home some three
years since. he had been train boy for
about three months. he frequently lay up
on the pile Of mail bags in the mail car, and
thus had too frequent opportunity Of practie-
ing his theirs.
His manns Of robbing the mails was to
select always one Of the canvass sacks, in too
common use and as he lay upon the pile,
break up and crush apart the packages IN
the bag, then slowly work them down to the
mouth, where by introducing a finger or
tFo the letters would be drawn out. He
never opened a mail bag, and yet once ac-
tually distracted the entire contents Of a bag
sent from Chicago to Quincy, leaving moth
but the wrapping paper and twine of the
package, within, to the greatesthysfhcation
Of the Post Office officials. ia.
Campbell has been committed to jail in
default Of $1,000 bail. lass

A Big Pile of Money.

Near Rockport, Ind, is a coal mountain
which is now being worked by three firms,
who prodnce. coal of very superior quality.
The ROckpsrt Democrat thus estimates the
wealth Of the mountain:
Allowing the "knob" where the mines are
worked to cover two sections Of thirteen hun
dred acres of land, we have but a small part
of the area of the knob locality" A single
acre gives an area Of over three thousand
square feet and thirteen hundred acres of
over thirty-six millions. The average depth
Of the vein exceeds five feet-Mr. Stevenson's
vein being five feet and a half-and at five
feet average we have a cubical quantity of
more than two hundred and eighty millions
Of feet One foot of coal makes one and a
fourth bushels in quantity, and the thirteen
hundred acres gives three hundred and thirty
millions Of bushels. Allowing duly for coal
slack and waste, three hundred and thirty
millions Of bushels. at eight cents per bushel,
amounts to over $~26,O0O,00O. The county
of Spencer is now yaluedRt about $4,000
900.

His Highness, the Bey, went to Algiers to
meet the Emperor Napoleon on the occasion
of His Majesty's late visit to the French col
onies in Africa. The Emperor received His
Highness with great courtesy and respect
and conferred upon him the grand cross of
the Legion of Honor. Several thousand
mounted Arabs, in their costumes and equip
ments, went over to the Algerine territories
to assist at the military review which took
place during the Emperor's visit. About
0 1000 Algerine Arab hOrsemen were also
present and it is said that never before was
witnessed a more gorgeous display of Ara
bian magnihcenee, as regards costumes, hor-
ses and Craftsmanship. The Bey's wife sent
the emperor q rosary composed of pearls and
diamonds of immense size, and worth over
$4,000. ibis rosary has been for nearly a
century a much valued heir loom in the reign
ing family Of this regency. It was once the
sacred relic of Catholic convent on the coast
of Sicily, and was carried off from thence by
a renowned Barbary corsair at the pillage of
the conventduriHg the time of Hamuda Basha
whose reign is looked back upon by the ma
lives as the golden age of the country. The
symbol of Christianity came into the posses
sion of Hamuda Basha, and has ever, until
lately, been the property Of his royal descend
ants. It is now again restored to Christian
keeping, in the person Of the Empress Euge-
ME. The Bey's wife wrote a letter. to the En-
press, and ehtrested the latter to remember
in her prayers her Mussulman sister.

History Of T~eIesraphs.
A writer in the New York Every saturds.

A writer in the New York Every Saturday
gives the following interesting facts;
The first telegraphic line ofany importance
was established between the cities of Washing
ton and Baltimore, in 1871, having two insul-
ated copper wires covered with thread soaked
in resin, which answered simply the purpose
that one wire does now. The fact that one
wire, with each end connected to the earth,
was all that was nessessary TO complete what
was termed electric current, was not at that
time established, it being considered that a
continuous metallic conductor was required
for practical purposes.
It was soon discovered that iron wire, from
its strength, though not so go0dan electrical
c5ndaetora as copper, would be more, service
able; consequently continuation of the line
from Baltimore to Philadelphia in 1857 was
constructed by running q three-ply iron wire,
and from that time every subsequent line has
been built of the SAM material, mostly galV-
anized to prevent oxidation. In the year l949
Alexander Balm brought out to this country
from England a chemical telegraph, an ord
mary needle resting on q chemically prepared
piece Of paper, which when the electric cur
rent passed through, deeomposed and left a
udIh Dlu6 sld4lj WHICH w q elmNAE meSudu4C-
cal arrangement to the Morse manipulation,
could be divided into dots and dashes, a COM
bination Of which formed the characters rep
ressnting the Roman alphabet. Some enter
prising gentleman (among whom was Henry
J. Rogers, Esq, Of Baltimore, and with whom
the writer was at once took hold ofthis new
system, secured a patent and constructed a
line from Washington to New York; from the
latter place other parties continued east and
west. It was on the line from Washington to
New York that the first underwater wires
ofany Importance were successfully worked;
they were covere d with gutta-percha, and
laid at the bottom of the Hudson River from
Bull ferry to the opposite shore, thence over
land into Wall street. the only obstacle at
that place being the anchorage Of vessels, in
connection with which a very amusing Incl
dent occurred, which sndedin 3 lawsuit.

correspondent Of the New York Courier and

/" When young ] lived in HartEord-at the

alternately. They called on Drs. Strong and
