THE TELEGRAPH THE GREAT BAROMETER OF
THE acknowledgements are now in pro-
gress by which the telegraph will be made to
perform still more important part than it has
heretofore played. It has been hitherto al
most exclusively used for the purposes of COM
munication between distant places; but when
the arrangements of which we speak are COM
pleted we shall know the state of the weather
at any given point within the limits of the
United States nearly week ahead. 1t is i'm.
possible at present to calculate the great ad-
vantages which must result from this new ap-
plication of the telegraph.
All parts of the earth once placed in commu-
nicaAon with each other, we shall be put in
possession not only of its daily history, but we
shall be informed of the great atmospheric
changes of the world. The barometer was.
and IL still, very valuable as an indicator of
the condition of the atmosphere; but It
will DO to sroat extent superseded
when the new system shall have haen fully
perfected and in successful operation. 1t is .
valuable old domestic servant, and renders
good service in telling several hours ahead
what kind of weather we are going to have
whether umbrellas or parasols will be re-
uuired-whether it will rain or shine, be
cloudy or pleasant whether 1t will keep fair
or storm. In limited sphere it worked and
still works well; but here is gigantic, uni
yersal barometer, which will tell us the pro-
press and the forces of the wind in every part
of the world, the direction Of storms, and at
what hours they may be expected to arrive at
different places, and, in fact everything re.
lating to the atmospheric currents of the globe
Thus we shall know at what precise hour the
gale, which commenced yesterday or the day
before in Florida, will reach New York-what
time it will get to Halifax, and where its force
will be spent. We shall also know what kind
of weather they have in France, in Russia, at
the Cape of Good Hope, up among the Eastern
archipelagoes, away south in the great island
continent of the Pacifc-in word, all over
the earth. The effects of this Geographic ba-
rometer will be prodigious, and will create q
revolution in science, commerce and other de-
partments Of civilized life.

The DRPERENcE.-When Henry Clay
was candidate for President in 1874, b.
went to a place of Summer resort, as haG
been his custom for years. and of cours,
was frequently compelled to speak to as.
sembled crowds as be travelled. Nearly
every Democratic paper in the Union ex
pressed its disgust in the following para
graph, which went the rounds during tina,
year:
He is the only person who has travelled
over the country personally electioneering
for the highest Office in the gift of The
people.
Senator Douglas is now on an cleo
pioneering tour in the East. delivering in.
sipid political harangues almost daily
and this is the way it is noticed by the
same Democratic papers that were SO
abusive Of Henry Clay:
Mr.. Douglas is making triumphal tour
through New England. Everywhere he
meets with 3 splendid ovation. At each
stopping place the people rally around
him with the utmost enthusiasm. He
will poll vote in New England that will
astonish the abolitionists.

Execution of the Alleged Texas Con
guirators,

A letter from Dallas, Texas, dated Ju-
ly "a, says:
This evening, at 4 o'clock, the thres
ring leaders. Sam, Cato and Patrick.
were escorted from the Jail, under strong
guard, to the place of execution. An
immense concourse of citizens and ne
groes assembled to witness their exit
from the scene of their wickedness. As
they passed through, they surveyed with
composure the ruins of the once flourish
ing town that now lies in blackend mass
before them. Patrick Jennings $50 call
ed remained calm and collected during
the whole day, and betrayed no remorse
of feeling whatever in view of his ap-
preaching doom. He it was who fired
the town, and that night, after its de-
struction, glorifed himself for the deed,
and pronounced it only the commence
ment of the good work. These facts
were obtained from many witnesses who
testified to the same facts without hesita-
ton, or contradiction of each others
statements. Sam Smith, so called from
the name Of his master, was an old ne
gro preacher, who had imbibed most Of
his villainous principles from two Abo
lition preachers (Blount and Mckinney
who had lived in the country a year be-
fore, and had had much intercourse with
said negro. This old negro was q deep
dyed villain. Cato had always enjoyed
bad reputation. They met their fate
with a composure worthy of a better
cause. Patrick Jennings, with unparal-
leled nonchalance, died with a chew Of
tobacco in his mouth, and refused to make
any statement whatever. They were
hung on the bank of the river above
town, and are buried beneath the gallows.
Investigations are still going on through.
out the country, all of which tend to CON
firm the facts elected at this place The
evidence obtained before the commit
tee will be published in due time. More

MANY others that 1 cannot just now call
to mind. We have discovered in the
possession of several noted Black Re
publicaus, boxes Of Sharp's rifles, Colts
pistols. and from letters found with Them
we learn that several boxes are en- route
to this place, and other points, with
which to arm the slaves. / just learn
that the Citizens Committee has hung
two men in Dallas county. and on day
before yesterday a man BY the name Of
Crawford, from Minnesota. was hung 10
Fort Worth, in this county. They found
in his house twenty-five Sharp's rifles,
twelve Coils pistols, fifteen muskets, and
eight common rifles. and bill Of twenty
four Colts Navy skies, and forty eight
Sharp's rifles, which had been forwarded
to him from house in Boston, and
which had not yet arrived. They also
found documentary evidence, showing
widespread conspiracy, duplicating pro.
minent Republicans at the North ; and
while write, three more persons are I'M
dergoing an examination before the citi-
GEMS committee in our neighboring city.
A call appeared this morning for pub
lie meeting in our town this evening
God only knows what is to be the result,
but do hope every Abolition emissary
may be caught and made to suffer the
Just penalty of his crimes in death. 1t
is true that it may seem hard to hang q
man without judge or jury; but when
the lives of our families are at stake
when those that are most dear to US are
in danger of being not only murdered in
cold blood, but perhaps to meet worse
fate, then it is time to take the law into
our own hands, and to protect our fam
lilies.
have Just returned, since writing the
above, from our town meeting. where we
organized a Committee of Safety, Of
which l was appointed Chairman. and
have summoned four or FIVE persons be-
fore us tonight, aud / think from the
high standing of the Committee that
there will be no rash steps taken, but
their course will be marked BY modera-
ton and justice. Ihavejust learned that
q white woman was shot by a slave,
twelve miles south of this place. and af-
forwards was ravished. The negro. /
presume, was burned at the stake on that
night. l will write soon.

The Nicaragua Expedition-Walker

one, and the whole feet passed down the
coast in splendid style.
The expedition irst came to anchor at
