GREAT DIsCovERY.--Fo months
past we have longed to lay before
the public the fact, that most won
derful discovery had been made in
the art of telegraphing, by two of our
fellow-citizens, George NJ. Dugan,
Booker Ford and Col. Coleman, of
Memphis; and shall now proceed to
record what we have seen in opera
ton at the telegraph Office in this
place for weeks past. The discovery
made does away with all the jars and
fluids heretofore used in telegraph
offices. and current of electricity
sufficiently strong for all purposes is
drawn from mother earth by means
of one sheet If copper and one sheet
of zinc, which are buried to the
depth of two feet, and having about
four inches of earth between them.
To the copper plate wires are attach
ed, and the current thus procured
seems inexhaustible. The operators
ut the telegraph Office here, long since
dispensed with fluids of all kinds, aud
every message sent from Bolivar now
is recorded by an instrument, which
IcCcifeS ltS power from tne Durleu
battery, and which consists of moth
ing but one sheet of copper and on @
of zinc. The inventors have applied
for q patent, and it is hoped that
their prayer will be speedily answer
cd, as this discovery of theirs is
destined to work most wonderful
change in the art of telegraphing.
Hereafter we shall endeavor to give o
full and complete account of this
truly great discovery, and are proud
to say that to Hardeman County
belongs the credit. Those who doubt
the truth of what we have related,
can go to the depot and see for them
selves, as the new battery is in full
and constant operation, and hns
never failed to do oil, and oven more,
than the old costly jars and fluids can
do. This invention will save thou-
sands of dollars to the telegraph COM
panies, and is destined to bccome e
universally adopted on account of it's
cheapness and durability.

WHTrrEMoRE, THE IAIMACULATE.-
Captain Gilbert, one of the speakersat

on Tuesday evening, read n letter
from the editor of the Boston Courier,
alleging that Whittemore was not q

ought to be; not to put too nice d
point on it, the letter said that the
said w. M. G. from reconstructed

$5, 900 short in his cash, for which
he was unable to give the necessary
vouchers. This we have been told
by one.who was present at the meet
ing in Florence, and heard the letter
read. There is o singular ooinci-
dence in this. Only q few days ago,
during the meeting of the Repu6li-

GREAT MASS MEETING AT KINGS
TREE. "A mass meeting of both poll
tical parties was held at Kingstree,
on Tuesday last. It had been previ-
ously agreed that there should be q
discussion of the great questions now
agitating the country, by n few
speakers on each side. At early
dawn, the streets were filled with
freedmen and freedwomen, of whom
it is. estimated that about 1,2CO or
1900 must have been present. The
white people, unfortunately, from
some mistaken notion, did not turn
out near SO strong, though there
were goodly number present during
the day.
1t would be impossible. without
doing damage to the speakers, to
give an outline of the arguments
used on each side. Suffice it to say,
that all the most important ques-
tions which now agitate the country
were ably and fully discussed. AS
to the effect, the indications were
that the last two Democratic speeches
made considerable impression upon
che negroes. as they gave them the
most respectful hearing, and seemed
to be much interested in what was
said. The best of order prevailed
during the entire day. and every
thing passed of as quietly as could
have been, wished. The discussion
ended at 6 O'Clock precisely. n.
