When ho returned to America, he published his opinion that, with the present discoveries of scionco, he did not see hew a galvanic or magneto electric current from Newfoundland to Ireland could be practicable for telegraphic service. He tells us, now, after what wo have experi enced to the contrary, «I have seen nothing; in the working of the recently laid telegraph to ohange tbiß opinion.” Mr. Siiaffher now disclaims any preten sions to credit in getting up the British Atlan. tic Telegraph Horn Ireland to Newfoundland, but claims that np to the spriDg of 1851, Mr. Gyrus W 7 Fieri) was utterly ignorant upon the principle and working oi' tho eloctric To legraph ; and that, having been “ posted up ” upon both by Mr. Shaffmeb, the idea of the Atlantic Telegraph Company was originally received by Field from SirarraEß.

On June 10, 1845, Mr. Jaood Brett, an English onginoor, provisionally registered, at the London Registry of Joint-Stock Compa nies office, a prospectus of the General Oceanic Telegraphic Company, declaring tho business purpose to bo “ to form a connecting mode of comjnunicatfon by Telegraphic means from the British Islands, and across the Atlantic Ocean to Nova Scotia and tho Canadas, tho Colonies, and Continental Kingdoms.” In the throe next following years, Mr. Brett’s docu ments explaining tho practicability of Ills pro ject appeared in various English journals, viz: The Standard, Weekly Times, Sun, Morning Chronicle, Morning Post, and Illustrated Lon ; don News. Moroover, while Mr. Sbayrmek did not go oast, until IBSQ, then “ having in view tho Atlantic Telegraph,” tho route of tho line aorosa tho Atlantic was marked out by Mr. Bbett upon ono of Wtld’s charts ot the Atlantic Ocean, and pHbllcly exhibited in 1851. Every date here Is dead against Hr. Shaff. her. He may have been the first to give Mr* Cyrus W. Field any ideas upon Ocean Tele graphs, but be was not the first, by a great Seal* to suggest any practical plan for laying a lino across the Atlantic. In truth, Electric Telegraphing, whethor by sea or land, is, at best, but a cumulative pro cess, long in hand, and slowly built up by the labors of many persons, "Wore we to go back to the fountain-head, Franklin would unde niably bo considered, however remotely, the Father of the Art. After him come Galvani and Volta, who showed how Eloctrlcity could ho produced by the chemical action of acids upon metals. Twenty years later, Oer sted discovered Electro-Magnetism, followed by Ain»ERE*B practical application of the prin ciple, and Henry's producing the mechanical effects of transmitting and controlling the cur rent to a distance. Th© labors of Araqo and Faraway also contributed to the develop, ment of tho laws of Electro-magnetism. In 1837, tho application of those laws was practically made, in England as well as in America—it had been the subject of suc oossfUl experiment a very long time beioro, even long anterior to Franklin. Wherever the priority of invention may be, one fact la moat undoubted —the first electric telegraph in the world was that which Morse set op, be tween Baltimore and Washington, in 1844. That done, what has followed, Including the Atlantic Telegraph itself* has been compara tively easy. The result la 85,000 miles of telegraph lines in this country, 10,000 miles In England, and 100,000 miles in all the world.

Knowing that lottors from absent Philadelphians are gonor&lly woloomo to jour columns, I take ad* vantago of a few hours of waiting to write you nrt account of thing* we hare seen and heard. We left Philadelphia by the Heading Railroad, whtoh carried us to Port Giinton. Karo wo changed cars, and wore curried over the tracks of three railroad companies, the Little Schuylkill, the C&tawiaaa, Williomsnort and Erie, and tho WilUamipott acd.- 'KlnHrtrJfcil'ibto/ folJfraira^in ihc StSo ofr 'JTaw York. These railroads pass through the grekt anthracite coal region of .Pennsylvania, and amid mountain and river scenory, which, if it was In Massachusetts, or anywhere in New England, would hare its beauties proclaimed to ail the world, and half mankind would bo annually making pilgrimages to see it. It wmld baVo copies of some of Its beauties hanging in every col lection of paintings, and be sang by poets, and famed by the story-writers until Its every mouri* tain peak and waterfall beoapse as a household word. ' j It is the begetting sin of Pennsylvanians to he top stlonfc respecting tho groat natural advantages of thoir own S f ato, and we would suggest to Mr. Thomas Kimber, tho president of the Catawissa railroad, to*»hose zeal and enterprising industry Philadelphians almost wholly owe the privilege of rapldraiiroad travelling over this-moat beautiful jortton of our Btato, that there is yet one thing or him to do as soon as his arduous duties will give him time, and that is, to devise some moans by whioh the advantages of sceuery, possessed by his railroad over all others, shall be generally published to the travelling public. Elmira is growing faster than any other rail road city with which wo are acquainted) It hoe already eleven thousand Inhabitants, and is des tined to become a great place. Its stores would be creditable to any city in the Union, and there are few hotols any whoro in tho country that sur-‘ mss its well-known Brainard House. ItexcUos he most lively and pleasing astonishment to find; whole blodks of stores like ours on Chestnut street,' and hotols not much inferior to the Girard House,, in a city that but yesterday, as it were, Was scattered little collection of oheaply-bullt hottsos. i Prom Elmira we passed over the Erie Railroad to Dunkirk, and thenoo along the Lake Shore to : Erie, whore wo left railway travelling, and took to the more primitive conveyance of stages for onr destination, Meadville, the seat of two quite fa mons theological schools. We put ourselves into the bands of the hotel-keeper at Erie, -who under took to put us into the Meadville stage, bnt through accident or design, handed us Into one which only went to Waterford, fourtoen miles on the way. There were nine passengers and a baby in tho coaoh, and John happened to get the middle seat on the middle bench. On the right-h&od seat of the front bench sat the baby’s mother, and on the left-hand scat of the back benoh was its grandmother, and every few minutes it was found neaers&ry tooh&nge the baby from one lady’s hands to those of the other. John was in the direct line of transit, and in hU good natured way soon found himself aotively engaged in the labor of periodically .forwarding the baby to and fro. As night drew on, thepreoionsdar ling was well wrapped up and pinned in a travel ling shawl, bnt still the changing of nurses went on. Finally, John either tired of bis business or in search of amusement, qulotly turned the darling upside down as be banded it across to its mother, who ombr&oed it tenderly, talking the mosfcenter tafning small talk, and patting its feet affection ately. It was only when tho little one got its breath under the shawls, and commenced roaring and kicking simultaneously, that the mother dis covered the situation of the dear little innocent, which was rewarded for its sufferings by kisses and,caresses Innumerable, 4 -while unlucky John ,wea talked at to baby in a way that made us sorry -we ooutd-pot see the glances of Indignation mast have been dashed si^hls'ofFcodtaghead.* The baby was not entrusted to Ais hands any more till we renohod Waterford. »ws, hopes, and Then there was no connecting stage for Mead vilie, and we had the alternative of waiting till the next afternoon, or getting a private convey ance. Deciding not to wait, we found we were considered fair game, and wore to be fleeced. John, however, Mid we need never fear to take ourselves from the hands of euoh Philistines, and trust to the hospitality of any Pennsylvanian-born farmer; so we started early next morning, and went a short distance nlong the road, where we found a aentloman who oarried us (twenty-two utiles) to Mendville, waited till we were ready to return, brought us back, insisted on our staying a day or two at hfs house, took ns out equirrel gbooting, and generally laid himself out to enter tain us with true old-fashioned hospitality. The orops In this section this year are generally no or. The wheat crop is 6mall, corn not above a half crop, oats small In quantity and poor in quality, and potatoes almost the only Grop that has repaid the farmer for his toil and expendi tures. Oats, for instanoo, aro selling in the dif ferent markets in this section at sixty to sixty two cents a bushel, and poor in quality at that. Politics in Erie and Crawford district nre, as Stephen Blackpool would say, “ nil a muddle.” The Republicans have nominated Elijah Babbitt, of Erie, for Congress, but the Democrats have not agreed, as yet, upon a candidate. The Crawford County Convention has named Gaylord Church, E?q., of Crawford, a Leeompton man, woll backed an by the postmasters and other office-holders. William Galbraith. Esq., of Erie, is tho ohoice of the F.rio Democrats. He is said to he of strong anti-Leooropton tendencies. Whether the contest between the two counties for tho nominee can he adjusted before the election is uncertain. It ie said that John A. Walker will ran as an indepen dent Republican candidate against Babbitt, if the Democrats do not agree. For tho State Senate, theDemoor&tic conference, held on tfao first of OoUbor, nominated Benjamin Grant, Esq., a Leaompton man, and a commission er under tne fugitive-slave l&w. The Republicans have nominated D. A. Finney, Esq. Mr. Fionev was formerly the Senator from this district, and engineered through the Legislature the bill by which tho Erio Railrood war was compromised, and tho obnoxious track allowed to remaio, on condition that half a midion of dollars should be snbsoribod by the stockholders of the Franklin Canal Company towards building a railroad from Erie to Pittsburgh. His coure© on this mattor made Mr Finney many'bitter enemies la Erio, and as many warm friends in the region through wkioh the new railroad will pass, and this railroad question will enter very largely inlo the eleotion contest. Finney is an able man, a shrowd politi cal manager, with troops of devoted friends, and a strong Republican district at bis back, and it scorns hardly possible to defeat him. Vet a vigor ous effort of a united Denworaoy might accomplish this, espoolally as many independent candidates could be got to volunteer against him on the rail road question. Our party oondidafo, however, has the Leoompton millstone suspended round his neck, and a&nnot fail to sink with it If we must bavo a Republican Senator from Crawford and Erie, we do not know anybody that we weuld prefer to Mr. Finney. Ho is a sound lawyer, and a good parliamentarian, and is a oredit to his con stituents. Thoro Is anothor war raging at Harbor Creek, a famous place since the railroad riots. A Mr. Ferguson tied his horses by tho roadside while ho went into the woods to shoot a few squirrels. A blaok man fired a gun off beside the horses and frightened them. Mr. Ferguson came book to his horses, and remonstrated with tho blaok man, who coolly said ha would shoot him if bo said much, and forthwith levelled his gun at Ferguson and fired. The bull passed through Forguson’s cloth ing across his breast, outting his shirt and skin slightly. Ferguson returned tho flro inoffeotually as the man was moving through tho woods Somo of his neighbors tarnod out to approhond tho follow, and one of them oamo upon him and oalicd to him to surrender. He replied with a shot, which went through the other’s cap,’ slightly wounding his head. He was stunned by the shot, so that his aim In returning the fire was not very good, though ho thinks he wounded tho assassin. All the country round has turned out to hunt tho fellow up. We saw one man tying a huge bull-dog into a wagon in Erie early this morning, as he said, “ to track the nig ger,’ * nnd John took his oarbine and said ho would go* gunning as far as Harbor Creek, and perhaps he should boo some of tho sport. Ho has just come book, and reports more than two hundred men out with arms, hunting for the blaok man.

He is inolinod to think that they love oolored people so in this Republican district, that if they were to see any colored man under the oirounrstanooa named, they would “loso distinction in their joy,” and Bhoot him, and, perhaps, makohim into minood meat, without reference to his identity.

Publication* Received* TWO CENTS. Arrival of the Chinese Treaty—Account of its Negotiation* [From the New fork Tlmes.j * ■VVAsniNaToif, Monday, Oot lI.—I telegraphed you this morning that Dr. 0. W. Bradley, United Siatea consul at Nlagpo, bad arrived here, bring ing our treaty with‘China, which was to-day handed oyer to the State Department, together with a full synopsis of the English treaty. Oars w drawn from the English and Russian treaties, with a few newgranta, wbloh those Fowera intend to avail themselves of. Secretary Cass was too unwell to be at his office to-day, and the doouments wore sent to his nri vate residenco. The autograph letter from the Emperor of China is written on silk, two by seven feet, and elegantly executed. Dr. Bradley communicates to the State Depart ' ment a variety of interesting and important n«we Trade was entirely prostrate at Hong Kong when he loft, on the 22d of July.

United States steahir “ Minnesota,” ) Tuesday, July 0,1858. J Aftor the conclusion of the now treaty, on the 18th of June, the duty next in order was to restore to the Chinese the original copy of the old one. This, instead of being deposited in the imperial archive? nt Fokin, bad been found by the allies, on their occupation of Canton, snugly seoreted'in the pal&oo of the Viceroy. The commissioners that it was left there by orders of the Empe ror, ue the most suitable plaoe for all documents relative to foreign affairs. This also acoountsfor the discovery, at the game time and place, of another important State paper. It is a memorial of Keying, in which he sets forth the principles of his foreign policy. 11 The barbarians,” ho says, ! { umn be maniged. byatratogeitfi” and' he'hid aosorduigly tought to flatter them by condescend /fig attentions as far as ho could without compro mising the dignity of a minister of Btato. He ridlouies their gormandizing and uxorious habits, derides their gullibility, and boosts of having trumped them on sundry occasions. In this docu ment, which was intended Hg a confidential con}' munioaxion to his sovereign, the wily minister completely unmasks hlmsolf, and shows that all tho oaudor and liberality for whioh be obtained credit in his intercourse with foreign officials was an elaborate deception. t Little did he imagine, whilo recording with suoh gusto the trium'phs of his dapUoity, that that very document would, fifteen years later, fair flung into his face by the indignant bands of those whom he boasted or having duped. But such is the reward of falsehood. Called from the Ob scurity from whioh he had sunk, as a man whose known skill in “ managing barbarians” qualified him for directing the course of negotiations in the present crisis, he hastened to the arena, pre] suming on his established character. But what was his dismay to have that unluoky memorial presented for his perusal in the very presence of his colleagues! Unable to face the foreign pleniJ potentials, with whom he had blasted his own? reputation, bo hastily rdfarnod to Pekin; or colleagues, it may be\ embarrassed by his pre« seqoe, procured bis teoatl. : that may be,I he*, was placed under arrest,' as I mentioned in my 1 lasi, ana is now under sentence of death. But to return to tho old treaty—the lucky hoar ‘ selected by the commissioners for reoeiying it was! fourP. M>, on the 19th ult. At the time appoint-! ed Dr. Williams conveyed it to their office. They' were extremely busy, and we remained bat a short j time. They were about despatching a courier with' the memorial to the Emperor, and, as usual on such j occasions, bad just been engaged in invoking the j “ et Augustus ” of the Northern capital. This is done by burning incense, and lighted tapers' before a tablet marked with the title of “ King Live-forever, ’’ and adoring it with nine prostra tions. The object of the memorial was to learn the pleasure of his Mujsaty touching seme point in the English or French treaties. The demands of the allies had thrown the commissioners into a sad state of perplexity; and old .Kwelliang remarked despondingly, that ‘‘ however faithfal they might be in discharging their commission, it would be impossible for them to escape being censured by their master.” He denonnoed Keying as a hollow hearted deceiver, and commended himself and col leagues as men of unimpeachable integrity; at the same time he protested that neither of them bad oxeraisod the remotest agency in bringing Keying to his unhappy fate. On the morning of the 25th our Minister had a parting interview with the Imperial Commission ers, at the Temple of ißolas, or the Wind-God, where ho had mot Keying. It was not, however, tbo last time that ho saw them; for he had hardly reached his lodgings when a messenger came with an earnest request that he should come to their office on urgeut business. A similar invitation was sent to the Russian Minister. On arriving they wore told that an imperial edict.had been received, in whioh H. I. M. positively rejected 'several of tho most important demands of tbeEng lisb. A paper was produced whioh professed to be an extract from it. In this the Emperor was !made to say that he would “ negative with'ten ■thousand vetoes any proposition toplaoe a resident Minister at Pekin, aha that unrestricted inter course with all parts of the interior oould by ho means be allowod.” J . ;• . “ Von sec,” said KwoiHaug, addressing, himself "to-tbe twoministers, MhowiipportuDatejyiheEng-, lish urge their demands, ana bow deoldedly our great Emperor repeats them. Between the two,' our lives aro in jeopardy. If we sign a treaty containing those oonoessions, we shall- be con demned as traitors. If wo refuse, and the English renew hostilities, we shall be pat to death for fail ing to obeck their progress. But, for myself, if I must die, I prefer to fall with hands unstained with the guilt of hetrayiug my country. In this emer gency it is to you that we look for help. Your ho norable nations have always been oar friends, and w& have just confirmed our friendship by renewing our treaties. "Wo entreat you, therefore, to use your combined influence to induce Lord EJgin to recede from these unreasonable demands. Our every hope depends on your exertions.” During this speech, the voioe of Kweili&ng. en feebled with age, became tremulous with emotion. Tt was deeply touching to see this veteran states-' man of a proud empire suppliant at the foot of barbarian ministers. The latter assured him of their sympathy, (what could they do less?) but wero unable to quiet bis apprehensions with any thing better than the vaguest promises. Through out the interview Hwosbana maintained a stoical composure. He is the military ohief *f the blue bordered banner, and his bearing on this, as on all other public occasions, was characterised by severe dignity. From the tone cf this interview I was disposed to augur unfavorably for the fits whioh our An glican and Gallic friends were expecting to cele brate on the two following days. I feared Lord Elgin would have to defer a while the wearing of his oooked hat, whioh he despatched a gun-boat to bring up from the outer anchorage, and that the officers from the squadron, who were invited to witness the signing of the treaty, would be parties of a less pacific speotaole. But his lordship was not to be thwarted. At 6 P. M., on the 26tb, the marine companies -were drawn up in front of his lodgings, and he came forth amidst the salute of a military band and the choers of the allied squadrons. Banners of every color floated in gay festoons from tho mastheads, and the yards wore manned to do honor to the oc casion. Aftor an absence of two hours he retnrred with tho sign and the seal of the Imperial Commis sioners to all hi 3 demands. By what arguments they were persuaded to com pliance it is not difficult to divine It is said that, notwitbstafiding'he had just received instructions not to maroh on Pekin for any consideration, he overawed the commissioners by threatening to storm the capital, whioh was, under the oiroum stanoes, a proceeding of very questionable mo rality. Bat whether the edict was a myth, the extractions it aforgery, and their pathetic appeal to the intercession of the neutral ministers only a subterfuge of baffled diplomacy, or whether they have devoted themselves to a future but inevitable doom to avert from their country a present ca lamity, is a question which does not admit of so ready a solution. On the evening of the next day (Sunday) the French treaty was signed, and the return of the ambassador and his cortege was hailed with a brilliant display of fireworks and prolonged and enthusiastic cheering, as tho grand finale of the second war with China. Tbo four treaties were now combined in one des patch, and sent to Pekin by a fleet oourier, while tho commissioners waited in breathless suspense for the imperial rescript. At length the Vermil lion pencil deigned a reply: “We have received the treaties of the Four nations—this is from the Emperor.” The commissioners felt relieved, and thought tho foroign plenipotentiaries ought to be satisfied. But this was not a r&tifioation; and nothing short of an Immediate ratification could warrant the allies in withdrawing their forses; for what assuronoe have thoy that on the removal of the oxisting pressure that the Emperor will not repudiate the acts of his ministers, and undo all that they have expended so muoh time and trea sure to accomplish. They resolved to apply the eorews and extort a ratification without delay. Gunboats were sent to the outer anchorage, with orders to bring up a thousand* additional troops; and just after the signature of treaties of peace, we have the anomaly of preparations of war. It is not likely, however, that anything more than a display of foroe will be required to obtain the de sired document. _ Having allowed a year for the exobange of rati fications, and having no doubt of obtaining tho Jm- Sorial sanction, our Minister prepared to retire. ount Ponciatiuo, with the oharaoteristio jealousy of a Russian diplomatist, remained to watch the proceedings of the allies, and, with great genero sity, offered Mr. Reed the use of his own steamer to descend the river, as the vessel chartered for the American Legation had been sent to Hoag American Minister was the last to join In this confederation and the first to loave it-not, however, until all Its legitimate objects had been “jriwsai: commenced neg ij oros’ determination to who t,a» not nominally a pleni n°At Tien-tsin ho oonoloded his treaty advance of theirs, and then retired in foil confidence that the Emperor would sanc the aots of his ministera, while they thought it recessary to assume a threatening attitude and extort an immediate ratification. For its othor memhcrß it may be said that though there has been some co-operation, there has boon no oordlnlity. Between the English Lord and Frenoh Baron mutual distrust has been ill oon ooaled by an interchange of ofiolous courtesies, and the agent of the Osar has watohed them both with the vigilanoe of one who feele that he is en trusted with the preservation of the balance of power in Eastern Asia.

They had made claims In that Territory, and were re— turning for their families. Needing supplies for their journey, they hod gone into the stow of Mr. John Rhodes, where they were engaged in making some purchases; while so engaged one of them fell to tho floor, gasped two or three times, and was no more. Physicians were called, who gave their opinion that he died of rupture of the heart. His name was David Poss. He was about forty years of age, and to all appearance enjoying robust health. He had lived several .years in Waubnra. Payette county, where he has a wife and five chil dren.

But it was only another Instance of tho truth of the pTecept, that u In the midst of life we >re in death!” Goa help and protect his stricken and helpless babes. Thebe is a lady in Peoria, Illinois, who In twenty-one years has been married three times. On each oooasion of her marriage she was united to a man younger than herself,' and the last time to a man who was twenty-three years her junior. She lived happily with the first, unhappily with the second, but prefers the last. At the age of twenty she was wedafid to a man aged nineteen, with whom she lived six years. At the age of thirty site married & man of twenty, with .whom' she lived only two years. • After a lapse of nearly nine years of “ single blessedness, at the end of whioh time she was forty-one years old, she mar ried again, and, in this instance, capped the cli max, the man she married being only'eighteen years old, her present husband, with whom she. has lived very happily for two years. New Dodge.—An honest countryman (says the Detroit Advertiser) waa walking about the . : dock lately, looking at the shipping, when an indi vidual named Daniel Cooney stepped up to him ; and demanded twenty-five cents.
