book. We read a smell portion of it, a short time

with the manner in which the author there simpli
fied the'details of soienoo. Mr. Prescott’s object
was “ to explain the principles and operations of
the various systems of eleotrio telegraph iu such a
manner as to ho readily comprehended' by every
reader.”. An Introduction, full of Interest, plainly
describes, what the book contains. This Is followed
by a treatise upon eleotrioity In theory and prso
tioe : noxt is a ohapter upon the general principles
of the Eleotrio Telegraph; after that a minute
account of the apparatus used in oaoh system of

progress and various applications of the Eleclrio

Mason Jack Dowijuto’s Letters.—Twsnly
five years ago, the famons and faootions Letters of
Major Jack Downing attracted universal attention.
They woro'commenced in the Portland Courier,
which they onlivened for seven years, and after a
pause of some time woro resumed in the National
Intelligencer at Washington, coming down to a
period near the close of President Pierce’s Admi
nistration. - The continuation, from the period
when General Jackson ’ retired from public life,
was mnoh inferior to the earlier portion, whereof
" Old Hickory” was the hero. Ti|o letters were
pnt intobook-form during General Jackson’s time,
and largely circulated thus. Moreover, their
genuine humor so muoh interested Murray, the
London publisher, that he republished them,
and, we beliove, they bad the honor of being
considerably praised in .tho Quarterly Review.
Last, year, Mr. Seba Smith, their author, re
produced 11 Major Jack Downing's Letters" in
book form, and with considerable ingenuity, as if
for the purpose of disguising ibo work, gave it the
title of 11 My Thlrty Years Out of the Senate,’ - —a
silly and petty parody oh Mr. Benton’s well-known
work. This year, Derby A Jackson of Hew York,

humorous engravings, and if f-iiy otto has a desire

[Corrwpoadenoe of Tho Press.]
Wasbikgion, July 28.
Can tho American Union be dissolved ? That
question has for a long time occupied the minds of
tho people of both hemispheres. ‘ln Europe there,
exists a confldeooo, among politicians of every
shade and class, that its days nro numbered. The
mistaken agitation of the subject of slavery,
North and South, in this country, has also rather
increased than diminished the numbor of thoso in
our midst who are recreant and ungrateful
enough to spoil or destroy that great inheritance
wbioh wo have rooeived from our forefathers,, ce
mented with tho best blood of all sections of the
country. The happiness of at least twenty mil
lions of whito people is about to bo exchanged for
annroliy and confusion, our strength to booorne
weakness, our commeroe to fall into decay, and
tho rule of contending and ambitious States,
like those of ancient Greece, temporary, un«
stable, and bloody, to usurp tho benignant
away of peaceful and liberal Institutions. .Alas’
people in our own midst talk of dissolving the.
Union with as much 'nonchalance and carelessness
as if it oonoerned the result of a municipal elec
tion, or any other small affair, and not the des
tinies of a great nation—aye, of the wholo civilized
world. In anoient Rome op Greece, they hung or
crucified traitors. 'Arnold had to fly this country,
although his crime, in comparison, was less hideous
than that of our Disuniontets. We patiently and
leniently listen, in some parts of the country, even
without reproach, to the daily declamations and
exhortations of the enemies of our happiness, pros
perity and greatness the American Union.
Amongst the extremists of both sides, it is even
considered a virtue, a high grade of patriotism, to
talk against the protecting roof which covers tho
whole oountry against outside storms and dangers—
oar Union. The unfortunate being who disgraoes
the seat once occupied by a Washington, Jefferson',
Madison, Monroe, and Jackson, patriots who as.
slated in forming this glorious Union, instead of
following the example of those illustrious .men,
seems to envy tho laurolsof a Cataline, Ephialtroa,
Arnold, ©to., glorying to be permitted by a merci
ful Providence to llvo long enough to break down
the greatest fabrio that ever yet existed! This
old man, childish and iu hia dotage, as>* r fs> has
taken to liis bosom the Disunion!***f has used his
high position, and all tho jiiflaefioo eonneoted with
it, to force tho very placed him into that
position to submit to tho diotatesof traltofs&nd
open enemies' of Ibo Union. Ho has legalized
treason: Yancey* Rhett,and consorts, formerly
on account of tbeir hostility to the Union tho out
casts of all parties, are now tho acknowledged
leadors of tho so-called t( truly” Democratic or
Buohanan party. High treason stalks unblush
ingly in tho White House, and in the Oapitol of
the nation. Instead of rewarding the adrooates
of tho same with a pieoe of rope around their neoks,
as tboy deserve, the President of the United-States
himself is anxiously striving to heap upon their
guilty shoulders offices and other official favors.
Catilina is not before but already within our
doors. Are the American people asleep?
Bot us suppose the Union should bo dissolved to
day. Wbatwonldbo the consequences? Would
the two seotions continue to livo in po«oe, or would
not, by the oonatant agitation of the nogro. ques
tion, by the repeal of the fugitive-slave law in the
Northern States, by inroads made by fanatical
Abolitionists into the Southern territory, for the
purpose of inveigling the slaves against their
masters, very soon ensue a bloody war ? Would
not the material welfare, tho happiness, and peaco
of both sections be ruined forever ? And in a case
of war between them, would not European Infiaenoe
soon bo brought to bear against one or the other?
All know that this Union is tho thorn in tho eyes
of the despots of Europe, who fear that, sooner or
later, our successful example will bo imitated, by
their own oppressed people, or that this, nation
may become so powerful as to drag them from their
own shaking thrones. And Ureal Britain, which
spent seven hundred millions of dollars to subjugate
the American ooionles, how would she rejMco, if
this glorious Confederation should go to decay!
Borne one may ask, what has England to gain by a
dissolution of tho Union? Everything. At first
our political preponderance as a nation on this con
tinent would bo entlroly gone. England wquld do
just as she pleased in Mexioo and Central Ameri
ca. And, more than that, what seven hundred
millions of dollars and large armies and fleets
could not do, will bo accomplished by suoh an
event: she unit once more come into possession of
her best and rickest u colonies.”
We are now her rival on the sea, and measure
with her ton for ton In the groat race of steam and
sail for the carrying trade of the world. She knows
that out shipping is owned almost exclusively in
the Northern coast States. She knows well that,
the Union once dissolved, the most inveterate hos
tility must ever aftor exist between the North an <1
South. Being unable to do without tho’ cotton
from,,the, Southern States, sho would assist tho
South against the North with her navy ; she would,
with all her power, prevent the North from aboll

In concluding my lettor this mornlngj I pro

The fow momenta remaining before leaving for
home (at 2 P. M.) will admit of bat a rapid! outline

better adapted to care plethora. Jft. the region of

is only equalled by the giant aoafe cty whlL visi

mean the outStdc leachoa, of course, who beset
strangers from themomehtof their arrlvaljto lend
a helping hand in‘‘showing them all thaj’stoie
seen. 1 ’ The betels are not unreasonable lh their
charges, and, if the eight andpleararewieker is

at a oost not exceeding the expenses of fashionable
watering-places generally; but for this tie must
keep hit eyes open. ]
After breakfast every morning scores of arnngry
guides and baokmep promenade in front of the

who steps from the piazza; though these solicita

fancied this ohapter of our adventures slightly too

thinks It would not pay oven to repeat the experi

The Democratic County Convention met to-day
to nominate a county and district tloket. The at
tendance was large, every district being repre-.
seated but a few. Tho following persons were nomi
nated by acclamation. Congress—L. Z. Mitchell.
Assembly—Captain Jacob Zelglor and A. Barkley.
The Republicans have a majority of 500 in ‘our
county, but all are certain of the election of Gafef.
Jacob Zeigler. ’Marshal Campbell-was on hand
with his employees, trying to have J. C. Breckin

The above resolution was passed without one dis
senting voice, to the amassment of Pensioner
Campbell, who expected to control tho Convention.,
Every man on the tioket is in favor of pouglaa.
There are not enough of Breokiaridge men in our.
couniy to form a tioket. The charge of represent
ing this district at Baltimore was first entrusted to
James G. Campbell, who, fearing the indignation
of the people at home, as well as fate master at
Washington, transferred the charge over (o Alfred
Gilmore, of Philadelphia, without the knowledge
or consent of the 'county committee. {Gilmore;
thinking he could play a better part as Bigler’s
servant, hands the, same over to a gentleman by
the name of McGee, residing in Allegheny county.
The records of that Convention will show that he
voted for Breckinridge every time, whild the De
mocracy of this distriot wero demanding the nomi
nation of Douglas. Marshal Campbell has already
mot with a just rebuke for this corrupt transaction.
The people onoe elevated him ra the office of high,
constable, wbioh was the only public: petition
tho Democrats of this town over thought he was*
competent to fill, until he was numbered with the
"faithful.’* And I venture to say that ho oannot
even seoure the Domination for high constable (A

“Dear Sir 4 Our village has been in a furore
q€ excitement for the last two owing to in
formation hfcving been received by theTeaders of
tho Republican party that there was an armed
foroe fiQipiug hero on Friday next for-the purpose
of destroying their pele. A meeting was held in

must come down. The Joßti coming in
jtom the npper part of the country kept adding to
the news, and appeared to beveryanjjotta to know
whether the Republicans would fight. : '
“ On Monday night the Republican* held a meet
jpg, and despatched parries to Alexandria and
‘Washington, and it wa* reported on Tuesday that
they had sent up for ; ammunition, and had deter
mined to build 4 fort around the,pole end protec:
it at all haaarda. This report oaly added to the
excitement,' as it wEs' supposed they could muster
bat twenty m«n, and it would appear like wasting
thelc lives w oppose ao many. They commenced
fixing tbeir guns, Ac., and sent a despatch to Gov.
Letcher that they were threatened by* on armed
force, and that they looked to him for protection ;
hat if he did not protect them, they would takeup
arras and protect themselves. The Governor
answered by saying that he would Immediately
order GeceralHotton hem with his regiment to
protect them. This will be bad new* to the Gene
ral, as he has said that the pole.should oome down
at therisk-of his life. When the Republicans re
ceived the news last night therejra* great rejoicing.
They fired a salute in honor of the tidings, wbioh
were brought by a messenger despatched by them.
We are now waiting to hear from General Hutton,
and suppose he will be here this morning to see
about the affair. There have been sixty volunteers
from the Republicans to die by the pole.” Some
of their friends advise them to. givf im if Hutton
does not oome, hut they,swear they wifi not.
