DODGE.” • Tho readers of «Oliver Twfst,” wlio hud the pleasure and advantage of an introduction to tho ingenuous individual commonly dis tinguished by the appellation of “ The Artful Dodger,” (a young gentleman of much pro mise in the prigging line, who was transported for picking pockets,) will understand, very plaihly, from what circumstances he obtained his sobriquet. It strikes us that Lord Palmkk stok, among living statesmen, is the greatest and 1 most effective dodger of his time. He never meets a question frankly, boldly, openly. Ho slides by it. He dodges it. Sometimes be does more, and instead of thus passively re sisting it, puts into play one of his sleight-of hand tricks which show him the equal of Monsieur Godard, and the superior of that arch-humbug, and theatre-consuming charla tan, "Protessor” Anderson. Long ago, Sir Robert Peel likened Palherston to a man who kept a thimble-rig table on a race-course, and.Punck endorsed tho comparison by two or three happy and facetious caricatures. There is no doubt about it; Lord Palmerston it a very “ artful dodger.” For example, take his very last manceuvre, aDd judge of the aackhy the sample. India is in a state of revolt, and tjie whole power of England lu Hlndostan is at stake. Delhi, the ancient capital of India; is in the hands of the insurgents ; if they succeed; History will call them Patriots. They have inaugurated, as Emperor and King,'one of their aticient dy nasty of princes. The British force against them is very small. Ail along it has been wholly inadequate to the command it.was in tended to uphold. A handful of British troops, amid hosts of trained natives, is reaily. nothing. The .mere prestige of British rule, which has been great, has long kept Hlndostaii in ajve; but (Says Sanoho Panza) « familiarity bree&is contempt,” and the Hindoos have gradually learned to estimate ’thoir, tyrants properly, and, as Caliban exclaimed when he saw jwhat manner, ,of man drunken Tiunodlo was;, they are angry with, themselves for having,taken auch dull fellows for demigods. The BritSsh''fWee ''i« Y 'Tnaii^Tfst~-iWtBfctdnt : 4t fi -at, was greatly weakened by two outside 1 infltiphces-Mho war with Persia, and the war with! China. When the double drain of effi cient soldiers was at its utmost, and British India had only o few thousand Anglo-Saxon, (or, (more properly speaking, Anglo-Coltlc) soldiers to maintain British ascendancy, the organized conspiracy broke out—a vol canic eruption, in which bate, revenge, anger, suffering, pain, oppression, toil, exaction, tyranny, and wrath, were ail Inextricably blended, as if they bubbled over in one of the seething caldrons of Gehenna. They foil, in' fierce rage, upon all the Europeans within reach. They slaughtered man, woman, and child. They shook off their constitutional and national Inaction, and, making a hurried march to prevent opposition, seized upon Delhi, the seat of their ancient sovereignty, and there entrenched themselves. Fortunately for them, that city contained arms and ammu nition sufficient for a myriad of soldiers. They have held that strong post., The British, attempts to dislodge them have failed, as yet. Under ordinary circumstances, nows of this charictcr, so tinged with disaster, would have made the heart of England throb and tingle to its Core. And so it ought. But how bos it been Received? The Overland mail, of a fort night’s laterdate than tho lastprecedipg, arrived a day before the departure of the mail-steamer Jtmtrica, and brought the news that, though the whole available force of British India was arrayed against Delhi, the Sepoys continued to bold good their occupation of that city. That is—for it is necessary to bear dates in mind— they | had been over seven weeks in posses sion of Delhi. Wo have narrowly watched the whole course of this revolt, carefhlly noting day and date of each leading event. The London journals have done the same, no doubt: at least; it was part and parcel of editorial duty to do, so, for every public writer should keep a running record of events, and not rely wholly, or largely, on his memory alone. We, of The Press, have no motive, aa our London fraterni ty may think they have, for concealing, or cloaking, or clouding the truth. Still less have we for exaggeration: So we are content with repeating, as showing how great is the force of’t lje insurrection in Hindostan, that the revolted Sepoyß have held the city of Delhi for Seven weeks against all that k tho disci pline, numbers, and service of the opposin g British army could do, and did do. No doubt, this was felt as a great disaster in London—which is the heart of England as much as Paris is tho heart of France. What do we learn from the Intelligence received by the America/ That the London Times re ports “more buoyancy in tho Stock Exchange than ' had been for many weeks previous”— that “ tho Indian news was considered favor able (/!) and the East India Company had raised the rate of bills,” and that “ Consols closed at 90f to 90| for money, and 90J to 91 for the account.” Such news as the continued resistance of the insurrectionists in India would have naturally operated very depreSßingly on the Funds in London. The steamer of the 12th inst. brought tho news that Consols, which have been as high as 96 in the year, were as low as 90}. At that time tile last news—the disas trous news—from India bad not been re ceived. Yet, when it does come, instead of sending down the prices of Consols, in a regu lar hesd-over-heels somersault, up they go. No doubt of it—for “ the Indian news was considered favorable,” and John Company 11 ha 4 raised the rate of bills,” When we read the news that the “ rebels ” continued to hold Delhi, we eagerly glanced at the financial and commercial “ flimsies ” of our telegraphic despatch, and there found that, instead of Con. sols having had a panic-fall down to 86, or at least to 87, they actually had advanced from 90}, at which they stood on the 11th, to 90J tor money, and 91 for the account, on the 14th ofAhgust. This ia unnatural. Then, how waa this done, why, and by whom? The answer Is plain, and We give It in ad vance—far .in advance, perhaps—of what Btltlsh journalism will tell us, by and by j ; for some of our newspaper friends across the ] great waters will' not—sonic cannot—and Some dare hot tell the truth. ,Two things operate in this matter. First, within ten days or so of a prorogation of Farlla PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1857. mont, (following which, Palmerston will have at least six months unchallenged dictatorship,) to make things easy, and keep them, easy, so that neither Brkuit, nor Roebuck, nor any other plain, spoken man, can find any salient point on which to attack, embarrass, interrogate tho Executive. In England, the state of the Money Market (that is, of the shares ahd other gambling on the Stock Exchanged) has loiig been tho index to public feeling'.,, AU, things are well, thinks honest John Bull, if t|ie Funds are high \ all things are gloomy, Npvomborish, bankruptiy, and suicidal, if thoy aro:fou>. Any changes in politics may bo made, with scarce a comment, bo that the price of Stocks holds up. Further, the East India Company want fl loan of $50,000,000. If ‘ the money-market bo “ easy,” they may borrow it on easy terms. If money be “ tight,”, they must pay largely for it. , , ■ . Therefore, taking both these points into view, wo suspect that Palmerston, aiding the East India Company (and himself) has been «bulling” the London money market. Ab a matter of course, he would have private, tele graphic despatches via Triosto, at loast twenty- Cour hours in advance of tho market, ami he would use them to raise the prices of the public securities, and thus give the appearance of pub. tic confidence in the existing condition of affairs* Tho operation would he simple. He would desire the Government broker (Sir Robert Carden, of 'thc Tfmes, we think) to raise the market! Garden wonldomploy a hundredbro kors,' and twice a hundred “ outsiders,” to buy largely forthe account, (thofiratand fifteenth of each month,) and the demand would instantly swell the value of the supply. Tho public, flnd ingthe prices running up,woiild also hasten to operate. Tho fictilious would thus create the real operations. In the end, perhaps, (in this instance the settling day would be August 81,) all thingswould come square, and Palmerston would lose nothing by the « dodgebnt even if he did, and it sorvod his purpose, ■ two things would protect him—first, he would proba bly have rescued tho public mind ftom despair at a crisis when he wanted them to he in good spirits; and next, the operation would not fall on his own private moans. What is Secret Service Money worth, if it he not available in such a case as this f It is thus that, to the beßt of our judgment, and with much personal knowledge and long observation of the man, that we believe Lord Palmeubton to have manoeuvred. He re ceived bad news ftom India, and he has inge niously managed to make it operate on the public mind as if it were good. Who will deny that Pam. is equal to his situation 7 AN ELOQUENT ORATION. From the able oration of the Hon. Geoboe W. Brewed, State Senator from the Adams and Franklin District, delivered before the people Of Chamborsburg on the 4th of July last, we make the following beautiful extract. His theme is the character uf Washington : “ And now the smoke of battle had passed awe}',and left the sky clear, serene and beauti ful. j Peace, like the shadow of an angel’s wing, smiled in all her loveliness over this blessed land. l The clang of arms melted into the whisperings of joy—the noise of the con fllctj was mellowed into the music of the reaper’s song. Glad nature once more wore the gorgeous livery of verdure, beauty and fragrance- The nation, that like, Judah be neath her palm trees had mourned the desola tion of her temples, was now clad in the bridal garments of the altar.rejoicing in the beauty of her heritage and the promise of her days. The country that, like Rachel, had wept over the fhte and the sorrows of her children, now clapped her hands on the hill-tops, In the valleys made glad her heart, and on her lips murmured In perpetual praise the hymn of freedom! But, although the lion of England had quailed before the pride of American arms, a mighty and mqjcstlc work remained yet to bo accomplished. ' The jewel of great price, purchased bycopinus blood and herblc <«P-ta'be’-niiiite-teteiseeuWii* perpetual. The. discordant elements of na tional greatness and , growing prosperity were to be moulded into just and substan tial forms of strength, harmony, and propor tion. The illustrious spirits of that day were .equal to the task. Under the eye and counsels of him who had led armies to victory and de livered his people from tbe house of bondage, the Constitution was framed, marked by talent, attainments, and statesmanship which are still the wander and admiration of the world. Upon its wide platform of wisdom, justice, and equali ty, in the simple majesty of eternal truth and with, the massive columns of undecaying strength, sprang the proud temple of tho American Union, chaste, towering, and sub lime ! And now the new and gallant ship of State lay upon the tranquil breast of an unexplored sea, ready for her first voy age. Her hull was strong—-her rigging well appointed—her. main-mast wplrcd up like a beam of light—her yard-arm,? stretched themselves ojit'in the pride of strength—-her spari glittered in the morning sun, and her white sails fluttered in tho balmiest breath of heaven. Should that noblo vessel come back again or go down in tho first heavy gale 7 The whole nation conducted to the crowded shoro tho saviour, thedeliverer, the fatherofhia coun try, George Washington! His step was still elastic, and in the calm blue of his eye slum bered yot a world of energy.. The cloquenco of that paternal voice, that Idolized form, with its charmed life, kindled hope and inspired confidence. Amid the smiles of heaven and the plaudits of tho people he stepped on board j his chart .was the Constitution—Liberty his compass, and the Union of ?tho States his guiding star. That majestic ship, bearing the hopes and destinies of a gazing world, moved away upon its path of wators like a thing of life. For eight adventurous years his hand guided that vessel safely through the perils of the sea, and when ho brought her back to the haven, no timber was shat tered—no spar broken—her beauty unmarred —her strength uncrippled and her sails untorn. His great mission was ended, and he bade fare well to the cares and honors of public life for ever. Tearing himself away from tho em braces of his loved countrymen, he found for declining years a sweeter happiness and a more grateful tranquility at his own hearth, in the honored shades of retirement. And there the greatest man of all this world set his house in older, and, sustained by an unfaltering trust, was gathered to his fathers, “Like one who wraps the.drapery of bis couoh About him, andlies down to pleasant dreams.” President Buchanan.— A Washington cor respondent of the Charleston Mercury thus de scribes the personal appearance of Mr. Buchanan, formorly and at present; “I remember tbo ap pearance of Mr. Buchanan In the olden times, when Jackson wa3 President, when ho was broad, firm, strong, and energetic in appearanoe, and quiok in motion. He is now quiet in Ms move* mentis, gentle In his manner, and seemingly con scious oi tho necessity of constant care of himself, as well as of everything else.. His features are longer, and bis skin has that soft, white appear ance, which we only see in elderly persons of tem perate life and absunenoe from out-door exposure. The pictures represent him as having a crooked neok; but this proceeds only from a aifferenoe in the fool of bis eyes, which he ought to have had remedied by the optician in early life. The eve of lesser power he advances toward the objeot ho looks upon, and ojf course depresses tbe opposite aide’of the bead. I often pass him In the evening hours within or near the presidential gardens. His honors rest so easily upon him that those who talk with him, like himself, forget that bo is Pre sident, and they think only of the urbane gentle mqn*” New Flour and Wheat.—Tho receipts of new wheat and Dour are becoming more liberal and prioes are declining rapidly, and must stil continue to decline for some time to come as the stock here accumulates. The first Important re ceipts of new wheat in bulk were received yester day, the schooner J.

Homo small parcels have been received in bags for some weeks past, and also a few small lots in bulk; but yesterday the receipts were quite fair. In all some 60,000 bushels arrived before noon. White wheat is selling at $1.40, and red at $1 80. 8,000 bushels, for which $1.45 was refused a few days since, sold yesterday at $1.30. A further reduction of prioes is anticipated In view of the large supply.

Mankind, Inaga of purs, have censed to won der. About 4ns'hundred years ago there com menced Upon thi'Wtha new era, in wbloh all ob -structions to huififm progress appear to have been removed, usd advent of truth, and wisdom, and progress established. Mighty wars, in which evory.jjart of Christendom was engaged, marked the ooßHuoucement of this notablo -time, effecting vast changes in the political relations of States and natioo*. and great revolutions in the ecclesiastical,ootjtyituUous of Christendom. Men began to think iji&t there was something preterna tural lu the of the times; but at present they either feel fWr bosOms expand with tho hope, or thoir hearts j|mnd with tho conviction/that the opening of and happier day than the world hu*.‘ ev£v yet seen Is dawning upon mankind. Inftlie hist One hundred years the population. Of uiV earth ’ lias increased ill a ratio never before but not so fast as the rate of progress in thq jiclence and practice of sgrioutture, multiplying tht productions of the earth—-not so fast as the augmentation of manufacturing skill and power— as the astonishing appronoh to perfection iq machinery—nor by any moans so fasti as the houjly multiplied outpouring of Divine energlos to reaper human thought and human la-. bor pr(HluctivB. Look back-over the records of .ope hundred. years*/ see tho science *o£;geosjT rise from Its cradle to robust manhood; ‘sec &that all men (out of the Oiroumlocu tion'Office) have learned to listen respectfully to! the announcement of every new discovery, and to I put a firm and abiding trust in tho revelations of the Scientific explorer and the patient investigator. 1 Has this millennium come ? I Probably before the end of this weok—perhaps: in a few laying of the cable with the 1 electric telegraph wire ooross the Atlantic will have been successfully consummated. In the full: hope that this, the most marvellous undertaking that ever entered tho mind of man, will bo brought to a satisfactory issue, we propose to throw to gether a few facts, partly to show how the idea of the tolegrapb has grown in the minds of inou, and the enormous rapidity of its advances within the last,half centiiry in contrast with the slow and painful progress in oarlier times. The telegraph, in its approach towards perfection, Is but a type of all subjects of scientific study during the jut century. As the means of commu nication between 1 distant portions of the earth have been advanced, first by improvements in sailing vessels, then by the application of steam to the pur pom ot travelling by land and water, and now by (ho discovery of the wondrous power of the electric telegraph, and tbo extension of its magio wires to all parts of Christendom, so ovory branch of science has advanced and is advancing under the ijlght of this new dispensation, which appears to be creating our earth anew by developing to us ita hitherto wiknown powers, and which is nowhere so powerfully operative as in our own favored land. Our Country sprang into existence simultaneously with} the commencement of this now era in the world’s history, and it has grown with a growth only paralleled by the rapid strides of science and learning under this immeasurable outpouring of hithtjrto unknown wisdom. But we are wandering away from our subjects From earlyageM&eatteutionof individuals, as well as of Governments; has boon directed to the means of rapidty communicating intelligence b&twebn distant points. The most simple of these was.tho boactm-fire, ‘Such fires wore used to announce the approach urf an enemy, or to telegraph the news of victory ipr, defeat, from the most ancient tithes. TUcijr the Bible, Jeremiah Vi, ,l, and by the Homans and the ancient im asked for across the Irish chan .'ne) r jm&bplies given, during the wars that raged in^lreland, by fires lighted on Falrbead, in‘Tre loud; and on the Mull of Cautf re, in Scotland. It was proposed,in case of tho invasion of England by Bonaparte, to telegraph tho event from one end of Great Britain to the other by immense fires i on the tops of tho highest bills. This is an obvious mode of conveying informa tion,and is said to bo practised by tho Bosjes mans, a race of being* of the lowest grade of In telligence. It is similar to tho natural tolcgraph used by tho Indian* of North America, to oon vey information from bill to hill by throwing out thoir arms with or without clubs in them, spread* ing out cloaks, or holding up skins. Whatever the signal may bo, the party making it, and the party for whom it is intended, must have previous ly arranged a certain meaning or sets of menningg to the signal?. A singular application of a natural telegraph, which was nn exception to this last remark, occurs to our memory. This was in the case of a oanal boat wbioh broke from its fasten ings and drifted out upon Lake Erie from the har bor of Buffalo, in the night. After drifting about all day, too low down in the water to attract at tention from distant vessels, or the shore, the cook saved the lives of the party on board by a tele graphic application- She caught the rays of tho setting sun upon the bright tin cover of the boiler from her stove, and reflected them into the cabin windows of a distant steamer so effectually as to bring her to the rescue. Though he&een fires have been used for this pur tposo for so many centuries, it is only in compara tively reoent times that special machines have been contrived for this purposo. Tho Marquis of Wor cester (1663) proposed a plan to hold discourse with a correspondent from a window, as far os the oyo can distinguish blaok from white, without noise mode or notice taken; and Bishop Wilkins, in a work'oalled “Mercury, or the Secret and Swift Messenger," gives a plan for conveying messages by night by means of torches, and another by which in the day-time distant signals are proposed to bo model out by “G&lUeus his perspective," the fash ionable sane in his day for a teleseope. Dr. Hooke, in 1684, ii England, and M. Amontons, twenty years aftervards, in France, proposed telegraphs of signals representing the Utters of the alphabet, of which the operatives were to know us much ns a postman docs of tho contents of tho letters he do livers, the icy being known only to tho two parties at thfc ondsof the lino. None of these plans, how ever, were put into operation during the times of their projectors. In 2791 H. Claude Ch&ppe, a French engineer, put his invmtion of a telegraph into operation ex perimentally. Like all inventors, he met with greBt'oppo4tion and discouragement. The people were opposed to telegraphs entirely; thoy destroyed his first telqjraph and the station, and when ,tho second wat erected by his persevering efforts, a mob burnoc it to the ground, and ho narrowly es caped withbls/life from their hands. They wished to make for him a funeral piU of bis machinery, and burn tie inventor and invention together. Subsequently, the matter was taken up by the French Government) a commission was appointed, at the hoadof which was M. Barero, who recom mended it .o the Convention, and the system was ordered tobt adopted, Chappehimsolf being honored with (he appointment of TolegrAphic Engineer to tho French jovermnent. Tho aerial telegraph be tween Parifand Lisle was constructed in 1794, on his plan, aid two minutes only were occupied in transmitting intelligence between those places. This form o’ aerial telegraph was afterwards much used on the continent, and nearly all the different systems employed were but modifications of Oh&ppe’s id*a- It has been >ometimos called the T telegraph from its position when at rest. It consisted of a beam of wood, moveable on & pivot at tho top' *f a post. At each extremity of tho beam m a moveable arm. by which ar rangement the beam might be moved to any angle with respect to tho vertical post, and the anus into any position with respect to the beam! Two hundred and fifty-six different signals may bo obtained from this simple ma chinery ; bit as the messagos were conveyed letter by tetter, Cbappe simplified its working by using an aljoabet of sixteen letters only. These, of course, had an arbitrary signification, which could be obmged at any timo for the purposes of secresy, or rendering worthless any former boy that might lave fallen into unfriendly bands. The first public use of the telegraph was to put the Committee tf Public Welfare in Paris in commu nication wib their army la the Low Countries; s&d Barerestated that tbo rows of the recapture of Lisle retched Paris an hour after the troops of the Republic had ontered that place. A signal could be repeated from one station to another In four second!, but it was found difficult for the ordinary clw* of operatives to report the signals correctly. In 1705 telegraphs on the shutter principle were invented inEngtand, by the Bov. J. Gamble and Lord G. Murray. These consisted of boards placed one above another in a proper frame-work, And so arranged that, by opening one or more, aa many signals k eoull be obtained as there were permuta tions in the Jumbef of shutters. The First Admi- rally. Telegraph was ereoted on Lord Murray's plan, with; Bii shutters. It wan first worked on the 28th of January, 1790, and conveyed a message from London to Cover in seven minUtes. It conti nued In ugo until 1810, when it was superseded by the Semaphore telegraph. Wo way remark, in passing, that telegraph Is a word compounded of the Greek terms rr/s, distant, and gtapho, to write; whilst semaphore is made up of the words jtfma, a sign, and phero, I bear. The Semaphore telegraph was ,a hexagonal post, or most, turning on a pivot at its foot and in a collar intho roof of the station-house In which it was placed. In the beat form of this telegraph, there were two movable arms near the top by a pivot and an indicator on one Bide of It. Each arm could be placed In seven positions, which were numbered froju one up to seven, and an indicator on one side showed the low numbers 1,2,3, and pre vented, their being mistaken for 6,6, and 7. By fix ing lanterns to the ends of the arms, and at the in dicator, and the contre or pivot on which the arms turned, this telegraph was made to work by night as Well as by day. It Was invented by Rear-Admiral Mir Howe Popbam, and improved and simplified by Major General Pasley. • The Semaphore telegraph remained in use until the electric telegraph super seded it, notwithstanding its many inconveniences The expense of building so, many stations and machines as ware,.necessary was very considerable, and it cost a great deal to maintain end work it. The line' from London to Portsmouth cost more than sixteen thousand dollars, and that from Liver popj to Holyhead about seven thousand five hun dred'dollars per etaWni.* These telegraphs couth only be used about One-third of'the’year. iiark* htftJ, fogs,, and storm?. of Tain or enow, were otm~ stoutly putting off all, communication. Conside ring all the disadvantages to joe encountered and overcome) the wonder rather is, not that jhe tele graphers accomplished so little, but that they were enabled to do so muoh.- Perhaps the history of no single invention ex hibits the names of so many laboring to bring it to perfection, rfnd we regret that our limits will • not allow us to refer to their names and their many in genious propositions. The .number was legion of those whose ingenuity was put on the rook to pro duce “Telegraphic Dictionaries,” and similar schemes for expressing long sentences by a single combination of figures. It was'found, how ever, that messages oould be * best sent in an abbreviated form, and that the only re liable plan was to spell them out. Somotimos foggy weather, coming on suddenly, wonld intercept a message, and li the important pArt of the commu nication was not condensed into its first words, it might be a long time delayed. Daring the penin sularwar a curious instance of this kind occurred. A telegraphic message was sent from Plymouth to London. The words “ Wellington defeated” were received, when aibgcut off farther communication, and the Government were left for several hours under the impression that the British arms had been But the message was only cut in half, and when the fog lifted, the other half came to re store the ministry from their fright—“ the French at” . - Hod the message read “ the French defeated by Wellington, at” . the effect would have been very different' ‘ o\ir limits will not permit us to advert, to the methods used to oonvey signals and information by vossels at sea from and to each other, through the agency of flags, Ac , nor to allude to the methods in use of advising engineers on railroads of their ap proach to danger, or’their freedom from it, both which are kinds of telegraphing. We paw to a telegraph which sets at deflanee the interruptions that interfered with the Semaphore—that carries its messages with : lightning Speed—‘that works as well by night'ns by day—that carries Its intelli gence with unerring accuracy over (he land, under the earth, or far beneath the troubled waves of the mighty deep. The first eieotric telegraph appears to have been do vf jod by Lesage, at tieneva, in 1774. It consisted of twenty-four insulated wires, eaah having a cor responding letter, and terminating at one end in a ,pith ball. Whop the other end of one of the wires was put in communication with the prime conduc tor of un electrical machine, the pith ball was im pelled, and its motion marked a letter or the mes sage; to be communicated. A telograph upon a principle similar to this of Dosage's was Invented and proposed to the British Admiralty by a‘ Mr. Ronalds, of Hammeresuth, England, in 1810. Seven years aftorwards, in 1823, he retards the re ' salt ofhis application to the Circumlocution Office .Me had all the oalm and patient philosophy necea ««*ry for dealing vrithjhat tima-iionored fnsUtutton. tfe says: “l x one then in uso would be adopted. “I felt very little disappointment, and not aeha dow of resentment, on the occasion, because every one knows that telegraphs have long beon groat bores At the Admiralty. Should they main be come necessary, however, perhaps electricity and electricians may bo indulged by his Lordship and Mr. Barrow with an opportunity of proving what they are capable of in this way.” We note this case, to show the nature of the assistance af lordod by the British Government to an early in ventor in cleotric telegraphs. They would neither consent to an interview with the inventor, nor even ■ inspect his telegraph. In all these experiments the common electrical machine being used, the tendency of the electricity to dissipate Itself prevented any important results from being attained. But the invention of the pile which bears his name, by Volta, In 1800, opened a now field to scientific investigation, and led r&pidly to important resulta. The frictional electricity heretofore usod, though small in quantity, was of high intensity. Tholoydenjar may be compared with the galvanio battery us the hammer of the mechanic striking a blow comperes with his vice, exerting a stoady and oonstant pressure. luone ease the whole force passes in an inconceivably short spaoe of time, in the other tho action may be continued as long as desired. One is liko high pressure steam, and the other like low-pressure steam. It is evidently muoh more easy to make joints and pipes oapable of conveying low pressure steam than that at high-pressure; and just so with tho two states of oleotrioity, the degreo of insula tion of tho conduoting wire which will perfectly ! suffice forthe lowintensity, or voltaic curront, would prove no insulation at all for the high intensity, or friotional oharge. Tho invention, therefore, of the voltaic pile, or galvanio battery, constituted an important era in electrical applications, and it* importance was still more heightened by tho dis covery mado by Oersted, in Deumark, in 1810, that a magnetic needle, free to turn about its centre, placed in proximity and parallel to & oonduotor through which an oleotrio current was passing, had a tendency to place itself at right-angles to such a conductor; in other wdrds, that tho wire through which a magnetic current was passing, assumed all tho properties of tho magnet itself, and that this induced magnetic power ceased tho instant that the current was arrested. Prior to this, in 1810, Dr. Coxc. of Philadelphia, passed signals along a wiro a mile in length, and proposed a telegraph founded on the instantaneous passage of the current, and its property of pro ducing chemical changes upon prepared paper. Oersted’s discovery was immediately followed up with a suggestion by Ampere, in 182(1, that the needle, moved by the galvanic current, might bo made to givo signals at a distance, and a lecture on this idea was dolivered by Ritchie in England in 1830. Other experiments and suggestions were made by investigators, but not acted upon or wide ly known until the success of Mr. Morse iu Ameri ca, and ’Wheatstone in England, iu suddenly de veloping an electric telegraph, far eurp&ssing in efficiency and certainty the wildest exportations, brought into the field the clolms of every one who believed himself to possess a titlo to the merit of having believed in and experimented upon the possibility of such a contrivance. To our countryman, Professor S. F. B. Morse, be longs the two-fold credit of having been the first to successfully transmit messages between distant points, by a practical application of combined elec tricity and machinery, and also of having demon strated, when the successor overland telegraphing was no longer problematic, that it was possible to transmit the electric current through a conductor submerged in water. The idea of the electro-mag netic recording telegraph was conoeived by him while on board the ship Sully, In 1832, on his re turn to New York after a visit to Europe. The conversation among the passengers one day turn ing upon the identity of electricity and mugnetism, and of tho fact that an electrio spark could be transmitted through a great length of wire, Pro fessor Morse remarked that “if eleotriolty could be made visible in any desired part of the oircQit, there was no reason why a system of signs could not be devised by which intelligence might be transmitted between distant points. 1 * This wos tho birth of the telegraph now in use. • The idea of It took possession of his mind, and a series of experiments upon its feasibility resulted In the produotion of & machine, a model of which he ex hibited to a class In the New York University In 1835, bit for which he neglected to take out a patent until Ootober, 1837 Tho operation of the Morse telegraph is substan tially as follows: The eleetrloal current is genera ted by one constant battery, posses from the trans mitting to tho receiving station by a connecting wire, which, at the latter place, is coiled around TWO CENTS. lh« legs of a U-shaped bar of soft Iron; this bar is, Of course, rendered magnetic daring the action of the current. The keeper of the magnet placed upon one end of a lever, tho other end of wbfoh i» armed with one or more points, which, when the keeper is suddenly drawn downwards by the mag netic action, strike upwards into a groove, or grooves, in a steel roller situated above them. Un der this roller passes a slip of paper, which, being Unrolled by machinery from a oylinder, during the action of tho acting agent, receives a mark from the points attached to the keeper. The circuit is completed, or broken, by means of a metallic spring or key connected with one pole of the battery, which may be pressed down by the finger, upon a metal stud connected with the other pole. When pressed down, the circuit is complete; when the pressure /s removed, the spring, rising by it 3 elas ticity, the circuit is broken. , ■ The form of this telegraph is exceedingly effi cient and simple, and was the first devised that recorded the message sent by it, thus dispensing with the uncertain attention of an assistant. The signals in this are not made by indicating the letters of the alphabet, but arbitrary aigns com posed of variously arranged demand lines. Theseoharacters—beingformed by jyorions com binations of dots, or of long and of bourse, oapable of being indefinitely changed, as (nay, from time to time, ba'arranged by.the c6n dnotorsif the telegraph.

Her message was wor thy of the lt was, ‘What hath God wrought!’ Bottveen that time and the present forty-fire thou sand miles of telegraph have been pUtin operation in tpe United States. On tho 18th of October, 1842, Professor Morse laid, a cable, one-twelfth of an inch In diameter, from Castle,Garden to governor’s Island, in the harbor’ of. New York, a distance of one mile, thrqugh which he transmitted messages success fully, bat which was directly palled up by the anchor of a vessel nearby, and cut by the sailors On the 10th of August, 1843, Professor Morse wrote to the Secretary of the Treasury that a telegraphic communication coaid with certainty be established across tho Atlantic.. “ Startling as this may seem,” said he, “ the time will come, when this project wilt.be realised.” , , 4 « M 2 ho was engaged by night In a small ] boat, rowed by one man, laying his iittlo cable iu Nev? York harbor. Since that day, 950 miles of submarine cables have been laid, connecting the continent of Europe with the adjacent lai&a and" islands crossing the Slack Sea, the Gulf of St- Law rence, the Gut of Canso,.far away in Ipdia* and elsewhere. In 1357 -Professor Morse makes one of the party engaged In layiag.the great Atlantic telegraph, in which four of the finest vessels afloat are (engaged with the best scientific talent in the world, fulfilling the prediction made fourteen years *S°-l The failure or success of 'the boldest experiment ever made by^science, in the serviced mbs, de pends upon the tenuity of a little cable two thou sand miles long. The storm that we know to bare threatened it may have defeated the work, bot it was weUjplsnned, and, with one slight exception, well conducted, and if it fails of soeoess, it will be renewed ageih and egain until it finally succeeds. It-can be laid, and it will bo laid, and it wilt be made to transmit Intelligence between two far-off worlds euo eeufplly. TM question cow is but a question of time, which, ere these words meet the eye of the reader, may be satisfactorily answered. TYho shall pre diet the oonsequenees to' commerce, to politics, to every thing of weal or woe, of this simple little scientific bond of world-wide intercourse? . (Prom the Chicago Prea, Aug. 25th.] fsirlfis Hurricane In WUoenaln—Lose «l Life and Properly* Yesterday morning the Press contained a tele graphic despatch informing cur readers of a terrific hurricane that had passed, over a portion of Wis consin on Friday night last. The Milwaukee papers of yesterday contain further particulars of At Woodland, on the La Crosse Railroad, the Station-house was blown down, oars blown from the track, and others sot in motion. The tation-master, Mr. Fox, while endeavoring to stop one train of freight cars, set in motion by the wind, was rnn over and killed. At the time the building whs blown down there were some ten persons within, seven of whom were more or less injured, and two or three, our informant states, so severely, that fear 3 aro entertained they will never recover. A store near the depot was blown down and a man se verely Injured. The telegraph office was in the freight depot, which was all blown down, leaving nothing bnfc the platform. The instruments were taken off, severed from tho wires, and carried a distance of .forty feet. The operator, whose name our informant did not know, was severely injured. A Frenchman ! was taken up by the whirlwind and carried a dis tance of one hundred feet, and only saved from destruction by being cast against the stump of a tree. When the eating-house was taken up, three women were inside washing dishes. The house was lifted over their heads, and they, strange to say, were not injured in the least. The post office was in the south side of the depot, and the following morning letters and papers were found a distance of two miles off. The tavern was nearly demolished. It was a large-sized building, and when the wind struck the upper story was taken off, and the brick of the chimneys came tumbling down. It was in this building that most of the Injured ones received their wounds. Woodland is laid level with the dust, the only thing standing being the railroad water tank and the log hut. At Columbus, on the Watertown road, the hurri cane was scarcely less fearful. Everything was prostrated. One man was killed —a Mr. Clark— his house being demolished ever his head. Fear ful that & more than ordinary storm was coming, he sent his family into the cellar, and while at tempting to secure the doors and windows tho storm atraok, and in an instant the house fell upon them. Mr. Clark was killed almost instantly, and hU wife was injured so severoly that no hopes aro entertained of her recovery. Several others in the town were more or less injured. The MiJwaukio American says: Items of de-. atruotion still reach ns as we 50 to proas. A gen tleman from ShaukviUe, in this State, informs us that in that vioiulty the whirlwind was no less destructive than at were blown down and trees uprooted. For miles and miles tho whirlwind made its way, laying everything beforo it. We are fearful that the damage to the southern portion of Wisconsin is of great amount. Fields of corn and stacks of wheat were torn up and soattered. Several per sons were slightly injured, but none severely that our informant beard of. From a gentloman vrho arrived in this city this morning from Port Washington, wo learn that at that pluae a large number of bouses were unroofed, buildings blown down, and trees torn up. No lives, however, wore lost.
