Tin internecine war between scholars, when they to viarrol, is us bitter as the wrath of Minim. There is, new proceeding in the cOlututs of the London Timm a philological dispite,'dreadfully learned and remarkably angry respecting the new word TemantAm. As Sr Lucius O'TnionEn would say, " it is a very pretty quarrel as it stands." We take loetfio.interfere in it—first, on the safe prim ciphof, being tar away from the scene, and next because we want to claim, as American, the hrention of the word which supplies the sublet Of dispute. Avery ugly word it is—but it is likely to be WM:ed. It was formed to express, Mere brick'', what has hitherto been conveyed by 010 IWO WOlll3 " Telegraphic Dispatch." Soindprinter'a devil, out West, who wanted to condom; started " Telegram," to represent the;Oundabout expreSsion of news convoyed by tie medium of the Electric Telegraph. Amp the water, they say, that, in the abun danteisure attbrded by his nearly sinecure ki th:olm in the foreign department of the C ircum leaden Office, one of the Government clerks naidcbto word. No such thing. It was the printes devil in Chicagow.i 1 o manufactured it. Tb; rival Universities of Oxford and Cam brichn have sent forth letter-writing dispmants on tie word "Telegram," which, by the way, mauttbe Included In may future English die tionrry, so The Times has adopted and Con. atanty uses It now. These learned disputants have ,freely quoted Latin and Greek, and WOW( as freely employ ifindostunee and Syria', (to show of their learning,) if the nowtmpers bad fonts of type in these lan guagts. Oxtbrd argues that Telegram is " a word constructed, as every Greek scholar knows, on perfectly sound principles." Cain. bridge as positively idnntr; that this assertion Is wholly erroneous—that the Greek tele gram/la is not a possible form, and that Wu &mn does not convey a possible sense— that the ending "graph" had its 1160 re strietal, by usage, (as in autograph. chirp graph, holograph,) to the writer or the thing written, until the close of the last century, when telegraph was invented—that photo graph, also a nineteenth century word, is an exception, but constructed according to strict analogy—and that, as telegraph cannot now mean the despatched, instead of Telegraph Despatch, we should use the word telegrapheme, instead of telegram, which (Cambridge says) is a barbarism. NATHANIEL Lyn, tho mad dramatist, declar ed, over a hundred years . ago, that "whoa Greek meets Greek, then Nunes the tug of war," and flict literary battle about Telegram shows it: Oxford contends that analogy (as in anagram, epigram, &c.,) is in favor of Tele gram. Also, that the word is not half so barbarous Jut as telegrapheme," and that the Greek word tele, used in the new com pound, not as a noun but a preposition, the final o in grapho, in composition with it, would remain unchanged, and that telegraph and tele gram (in Greek, telegraph eia and telegramma) wotiabo compomnis correctly formed. We believe that awkwardly 119 the word may sound now, " Telegram " will live. There really is too much philological pedantry In the suggested “tolegrapherne." Henceforth tele irrallA Is the news sent, and telegraph the way Of sending it. disputing-on this word, they brave In cidentally dragged In reliable, which Is do'. nounced by one sot as cc a vile Americanism;" while, on the other aide, a Cambridge “First Class" man declares that it is as good English, and formed in much the smite way, as g , deni able," “unduniable," "eatable," ' , drinkable,' pitiable," and a thousand other such words. Say what men may, reliable Is a good word, perfectly in accordance with the analogy of the language, and it• is too usethl and well established to be written down by all the pe dants in the world. But, as wo are trenching on philological grounds, let its point out a mph+ of words which really may ho called 66 rile American- Ono is the word loaned—manatctured into a participle, out of the noun-substantivo loan. Instead of saying 4, 1 lent hint the book," wo often say "I loaned it." There is no occasion for such a word, and almost the only justification for the coinage of a new word, or the use of an old word in a new sense, fn that it was neemary. Another no velty, and a very miserable one, wholly inde fensible, is the substitution of the Latinizod donate lin the 5AX01117.1.41 give. What can he more absurd, and even affected, than the words " ho donated a thousand dollars to the charity," instead of "lie gore" the money. Thu Latinized word donation evidently sug gested tho coinage of donate as it substitute for the verb give, but nothing can justify such a solecism. NAUTICAL SIGNALS Wo print below, tho report of a cot mission appointed by tho English Adm ratty on tho subject of signal lights, to be ca riod by vessols navigatmg at night. The n morons accidents that occur iu our hay and river from the want of a properly regulated system of such precautions, and the awful dis asters which we have been called onto chroni cle between vessels encountering each other in tags on the high seas, give considerable ill forest to the recommendations of the commis sioners. It will ho seen that they apply to all vessels under the British flag, in v,hatever part of the world they may be. Similar regulations for American chips would save many lives and an immense amount of property annually. Llghto for Strum and Vesorto. Coll , 7llllfell BOOM, rally, March 211th,1857 Rut : The committee appointed by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, to inquire into the expediency of altering the present system of lights, established for steamers and sailing vessels, assembled on the 7th of Maroli, and have continued their meetings until the 28th instant; and leaving fully considered the subjeet lin which their opinions have boon required, hero unanimously agreed to the following roport : Thu committee having considered the instruc tions of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, together with the memorial of four hundred and thirty-five musters of colliers from Shields, praying that colored lights, red tend green, may be os tablished in till sailing vcosels, to point out their respective tacks, and a bright light when going free; and the committee having also made them selves conversant with the evidence given before the committee in 1852, judged it necessary to call for ouch further evidence no might enable them to come to a satisfactory conclusion. For which pur pose, the committee requested that members of shipowners' associations, the most intelligent masters, pilots, and other persons, might ho nos looted front the ports of London, Glasgow, Liver. pool, Shields, and Bull, and also naval alums, who had had experience of the working of the present system, sines its adoption in 1852. From the information obtained from these per sons, it appeared to the committee that (here was an uniform opinion that the system now in use in I steamers is perfectly oatiofactory; hut with respect to sailing vessels, directly the reverse; and all agreed that colored side-lights, similar to those carried in steamers, should be adopted in sailing vessels, in order that vessels approaching each tither might know which way each is standing. The general opinion also woe, that the Sailing vessel should not carry (ho bright white light at the mast-head, the smite no in steamers, so that this would become a distiognishing mark between the two classes. The next consideration was, as to whether the colored lights, red and groan, should designate the port and starboard tarb, or the port and starboard sides, when shown in sailing vessels. Tim first impression, iu most instances, with the persons ex amined was. that the run should be designated; but when it wits explained to them that either colpred light might, according to the direction of the wind, denote a sailing vessel going in the 0 1 1- poke direction to that which would ho indicated by the exhibition of the seine colored light in a steamer, and if the white light of this latter ves sel were not visible, it might toad to collision, they readily admitted the propriety of the color of the light designating the side without any roforenoo to the tack or the wind, and that they would then instantly know which way the vessel showing the light was Standing, the same as now in steamers, and that the same rules would apply to all vessels. It then became a serious question, whether those colored lights should be shown only occasionally, when a vessel was seen, or be kept fixed. It (ho fo r mer, (oecasionally,l it was feared the present groat evil of indifference and want of n ' 'good look out," from which so largo a portion of all the cob Miens arise, would still exist. On the other hand, it is certain that the smaller vessels and coasters could not carry fixed lights in bad weather. After weighing all the opinions and objeotions on this subject, the committee consldei that the host mode would be to recommend strongly that the colored tights should bo carried fixed, when practicable. leaving with those who cannot do so the responsi bility of neglecting to show such lights by band, when approaching ether vessels. Tf the foregoing suggestion be adopted, it should be made impera tive that when the vessels are under Way, those lights should be on dock "from sunset tostinrise," ready for use, and kept en their diatinotire aides of the vessel, no as to prevent the possibility' of chewing the wrong light. In all vessels that Carry their lights fixed, it Will be twee:vary to adopt Havens, no in steatiorS, that the light may not be seen on the opposite bow or side to that intended. In the smaller classes at vessels, the committee are of opinion that the weather board in moderato weather may ho made to answer that purpose; and at other times the lan terns, when used by hand, may he so screened as to show a light only in the proper direction. With respect to vessels at anchor, the opinions have been very conflicting, varying between car rying a white light, as at present, or a rod light; and agate, whether the lights should be fixed, or only sheen occasionally on vessels approaching These points 'having been duly considered, the committee ennui to the conclusion, that it would be desirable that nn uniform single white light in a globular Motel n, so as to show nil round the hori zon, should be continuously dxhibitod at anchor, "where bust seen," at a height not exceeding twen ty feet above the hull. In recommending this system of lights to your lordships, the committee are aware that some ad ditional expense will be loured ; but they dd not anticipate nay objection. Theowners and masters of vessels who have boon examined by the commit tee, have themselves proposed the adoption of two colored lights and a white light; it may, therefore, be presumed that the cost of ono more light in ad dition to that now In use would not be objected to es a means of obtaining a greater security for life and property. The eubjeet of lights' to distinguish jrllot•vesaols having been brought before the committee, it was found that lights for this purpose were in general use, but subject to no particular regulation, each port having its own signal With a view to este:. fish one uniform system for all pilot-vessels, it is suggested that, in addition to the lights proposed fur sailing vessels, they should show a white light on the eame level with the colored light. A moulorial from the pilots' coiumitteo of Liver pool, praying that they may be permitted to have two lights exhibited by vossole at anchor within that pert. having been laid before the committee by their lordships, the committee consider that such oireamstances have been 'stated respeeting the numerous ferries; by the persons from Liver pool who have been examined, so as to justify their suggesting that this should bo made a speoial ease, and the prayer granted. And as it appease to this committee that cases may arise at other ports, from the crowded state of the anchorage, and the great length of the vessels, in which it may be necessary to define both extremities, the committee recent- mend that, on the application of the toed authori ties to the Admiralty, their lordships should au thorize a white light to ho exhibited within the limits of their port by vessels at anchor, In addition to that now preposed. Although not coining immediately under the subjects of lights, the propriety of establishing sig nals for avoiding collisions during fogs, has boon so strongly impressed upon the committee, that they have given it their consideration, and, submit that their lordships should recommend an uniform practice in that respect. The mostecommon instru ments for this purpose in use at present aro the stoma-whistle er bell, and tho horn, and the coin mince think that the use of these might ho ad vantageously limited as follows, via; that as the coasting and other smaller vessels do not all carry bells, it is desirable that their lordships should re commend, 113 a general rule, that all steamers should, in a fog, use the strarp•tuhistle or bell, and all Hulling-vessels a fog-horn, and that these sounds should be made within short intervals. A pattern of a cheap and useful horn, known as the Ameri can tog horn, lies been forwarded to the committee as one much usod at Liverpool; and the commit tee think it well adapted to the purpose. The pat torn accompanies this report. Iu conclusion, the committee, fully impressed with the importance of the subject broughtender their consideration, aro unanimous iu their opinion, for the reasons above stated— Firstly—That no alterations should bo made in the menet system of ateamers' lights Secondly—That the bright light now exhibited by sailing vessels, when under sail or being towed, should he abolished, and that instead thereof each vessels ehould exhibit, between sunset and sunrise, to any vessel or vessels, a red light on the port side and a green light on the starboard side, cor responding to the colored side-lights now shown by steamers, without any reference to tacks, Thirdly—That thou colored lights should ho fixed, whoa practicable; and that when such lights are not fixed, places should bo provided iii ihluh the lights should ho kept on their respective sides ready for exhibition. 'Fourthly—That ail lights, whether fixed or ex hibited by hand, should Mese bareetkod as to render them invisiblo on the opposite bow or side of the vessel, -which the committee consider quite practi table. Fifthly—That the ilghtiproposed tdbo exbibitid by sailing 111.4015 should in no owe hu of leas siso or power than the lantern which the committee recommend, and which shows an uniform and un broken light oversixteen points of the compass. Sixthly—That all vessels at Anchor, whether steamers or sailing vessels, should exhibit "whore beg seen," between sunset and sunrise, a white light, of uniform size and power, in aglobular lan tern of six incites diameter, at a height not ex ceeding twenty feet above the hull of the vessel. SevullthlY—The entillitildeo consider it desirable further to recommend, that the pilot vessels of the United Kingdom should be designated by particu lar lights. They would, therefore, submit that, in addition to the rod and green lights now proposed f o r oil classes of stank...vessels, pilot vessels should be permitted to exhibit a white light, on a level with the red or green light. Eightlily--The committee having taken inconsid eration the subject of signals during fogs, would re oommend, for the regotons stated in the foregoing report, that SteIIIHOIA 011011111 nee either the steam whistle or hell, anti that all other roacha should use a fog-horn. Finally—The counnitteo taro of opinion that tho above regulations, if approved of by their lordship'', should apply to all vesnis of the United Kingdom, in every part of the world, unless especially ex cepted by the Admiralty. The committee cannot close their report7without stating that the evidence adduced proves that the minutia' of collisions Is chiefly attributable to the neglect of a "good look-out," and they submit that it y6uuld be strongly impressed on the masters of all vessels that this huportunt duty be more rightly attended to.

Some m coke ago none from Carson Valley was published which told of the almost total destruction of no emigrant train by the lndians. A woman, who was one of the train, was scalped and loft for dead. It turned oat, however, that she was not dea 1, nndshe has since recovered to tell the extra ordinary story of her sufferings and hor resolute endurance, which deceived the savages. The lted Bluffs Bearers, of the 10th of September, thus NHS the story : An instance of the most remarkable fortitude nod heart-rending cruelty wo over heard of is related to us by a black man by the name of Scott, who has recently arrived hero from Missouri, by the way of the Plains. He informs us that a short time before ho arrived at Stony Point, on the Humboldt river, the Indians attacked n train of six mon, one woman, and a child. The moon were all killed but one, who made his mope. The child was also killed, and its mother shot in seve ral places with arrows, evolved, and left for dead. All the while they wore scalping her and strip ping the clothes front her body she was perfectly conscious of what they were doing, hut feigned death, and lot them tear the skin from her bona without even giving signs of life, knowing that if she did they would either despatch hor at once or Luke her into hopeless capthity. At one time, when they had left her fur a moment, she ventured to ehange her position, in order, if possible, to re• limo herself from the uncomfortable posture in which she was lying; but on roturning they soon discovered that she had moved; and, for fear that life might not be extinct, they took hold of the arrows that were still sticking in hor heel, and worked them about in her wounds, and pushed them deeper into her flesh, and stamped upon her with their heels. All this rho endured without uttering a groan or drawing a breath that could be perceived by the savages; and in that condition was loft as food for the wolves Fortunately, howevor train came along bolero eho had lain long in dint condi tion, and dressoil her wounds and hreught her along with Ihmn; and not the least remarkable fool attending the whole matter is that she is fast recovering from hor wounds. liar head, wo aro told, is nearly well, and Um arrow wounds doing better than nay one expected.

LITERARY CRITICISM. SKETCHES ItY isCeL. Isy Clust,ci DICISHIS, Tole T Petersen. Philadelphia The uniform edition of Chatles Dickens' Works, with illustrations by Cruikshank, Cat termolo, and 11. K. Brown, now in enurso of publication by3fr. Peterson, will be completed in twenty-live volumes, the nineteenth and twentieth of which consist of “Sketches by Box." Twenty-two years ago, when Dickens was a parliamentary reporter on the London Morning Chr'onicle, he published, in the tri weekly edition of that journal, the sketches signed "Box," which afterwards, collected into book-shape, introduced Dickens to the reading world as an anther. For it is a peculiarity in -English literature, that--with very few excep tions, Such as Macaulay—scarcely any writer is recognised as an author sinless he has pub lished a book. So tboitre h rh/y was this acted upon, until very lately, at least, that the Litera ry Fund, out of which distressed authors are relieved, made it a point of not even consider ing any case in which the applicant had not published a book—no matter how worthless. A lifagazinlst, however brilliant, would thus ho passed over, and a Were newspaper writer would bo scowled at. Barnes and Stirling, for example, the greatest writers for the London Tinwi, tined not present themselves, if wanting relief,; to the Fund, , because though they had respectively Written scores of volumes, as re .quentity (to say nothing of quality,) neither had published A book. The success of the ISketclies" was so great, that Chapnitui & Hall, Lebdon publishers, wore thereby induced to employ Dickens to write an Olustmted serial for them. Hence came The Posthumous Papers of the Pick wick Glob." There was this difference: the "Sketchps'y made their mark by their own merit alone, whereas every subsequent fiction by Dickens had the advantage of characteristic illustratio as. Wonderful aids to publicity and popularity these have been, for they gave the readers pt Tamed knowledge, as it were, of the various individuals Introduced in each story. litm Pederson has preserved every one of these illustrations, pre tinting well-executed repetitions of engraving, and preserving the spirit, and the grace, and the humor of them all. Here, in these " Sketches by Dos," are twenty engravings by George Crulksharik, the greatest humorist with the pencil and graver, since William Hogarth, and superior to Ho garth 'in many points. The paper, typo graphy, and binding arc also excellent, and warrant us fully irt saving that, not even the best European earn; .of Dickens can at all compare with Peterson's, which has the ad vantage, also, of being sold at a third of the English price. FROM NEW YORK. [Correspondence of The Prose New Yong, Nov. 3. It hi not a part of my nature to kick the dead lion," or to withhold from the lame dog my arAst anee in crossing the stile; but when I behold the position of the New York and Erie Railroad, and BM fermi to listen to the slanders against the Reading by the parties engaged in prolonging its existence—to hear it proclaimed that although they aro in a very tight place, they "area d—d eight better than the Reading "—I feel the necessity of departing from the prinoiples ,that hitherto have governed my notions, and to show to the public the actual position in which they stand. In the expo sition I shall, therefore, confine my remarks to the work in question, and leave the Reading and the Pennsylvania Railroads to tako care of themselves. They, having the location and the distance in their favor, are not in the market for sympathy, and Were it not the gambling and speculative prepare city of the New York operators, they would not be exposed to the influence that is crushing the great mercantile interests of the imuntry. But of this in the sequel. In the conception of the New York and Erie the ostensible'objeet was a monopoly of the trade of the West. One end of the work was to rest upon the city of New York, and the ether eventually on the shore of this NM °, and without considering the later seeing mountains and the otherwise impracticable difficulties, "the capital and pride of the city" was adequate to its accomplishment. It was "a great living artery." It was , tan imperishable monument to New York enterprise." It was "our oottntry's glory." It was, in short, the offspring of 'Wall street, and all Mankind were called upon to retmrerime and glorify the projectors.'

Renee. the abuse of the Camden and Amboy, the Reeding, the Pennsylvania Central, and the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne, and Chicago. On this recto, which here after is to be the trunk lino between the East and the Nast, the distance is not only shorter by ninety to one hundred miles, but the grades throughout are of a character to enable one engine to do the work of three in any other direction. From Chi l i - cago to Pittsburgh them is no grade against the trade exceeding thirty-three feet to tho mile. From Pittsburgh to the sinewit of the Allegheny Mountain, the object is attained by a maximum grade of forty-nine feet, and from thence to the city of Philadelphia, over tho Lebanon Valley and the Reading, a distance of too hundred and fifty six miles, a single engine can do the work of tire on the New York and Erie. These fasts determine the course of the trade, and as the distance is ono hundred unit eighty mi\es iu favor of Philadelphia, which alone will save $5.40 per ton to the producer, we may recognise another fact, that the forty cents per ton would take every ship now rotting at our wharves to Philadelphia fore cargo. But as my paper IS exhausted, soul as the fore going is enough to show that there acre two sides to story, and that people, in glass II noes most not throw stones, I must conclude with tho promise to continue the subject.
