We are altogether out Of patience With
the way msnters have been going on in
this State with reielencc TO our State

that there is considerable CANNON about
our State patriotism.

The AutOgsaphlc TesesSaPhS
The autogrs.,b,c telegraph of Padre
CassclI, is nov, by the interchangeable la
bors OF its inventor, brought almost to
perfection, and is IN practical operation
on the line between here and Amiens.
by means Of this apparatus q perfect
fac si,n,Ie of . letter, draft, or other
document, or even a picture, may be
transmitted by telegraph. The dispatch
is written upon silvered paper, and then
this is affixed to 3 cylinder which is re-
volved by clockwork. In its revolutions
it Is traversed by metallic point, and
in trave,sing it thus, the ink with which
the dispatch is written being a non-con-
ductor, the connection every time the
point hits upon It, is Of course broken.
This is what occurs at the end from
which the dispatch is sent. At the
other end is another cylinder and point
Of similar construction, and moving
with similar velocity. Upon this
cylinder sheet ofpaper, saturated in a
solution Of prussia,e Of potash is placed.
The magnetic point 10 traversing this.
while the connection is kept up, decom
poses the chemical, leaving it,ot course,
untouched where the connection is
broken that is, where the characters to
be transmitted are formed in ink upon
the s,lvered paper. The great difficulty
with which the inventor has been obliged
to struggle has been to SO regulate the
machinery by which his cy lnders and
points were moved as to have them re.
volve and traverse with the same veloci.
". This be has sufficiently overcome,
at least for all practical purposes, and the
autographs telegraph is now fixed tact.
