PORTER, 011 PIMADELDILL YOB CANAL CONNISSIONSIII, WESTLEY FROST, Or rAirr 001:1377'Y Diissouri 'Election. The official returns for Congressman in St. Louis county foot up as follows: Samuel M. Breokinridge, American 5,618 Francis P. Blair, Jr., Free Democra. 6,452 J. Richard Barrett, National Democrat 7,214 giving the latter a majority of 762 over Blair, the Emancipationist. Kentucky We have official returns from 70 counties in Kentucky. In these Revill gets 45,800, and McKee 43,792 votes, and Revill's loss in the same counties is 946, as compared with the race of Garrard and Jones in 1857. In the 31 counties to hear from the vote for Gar rard was 16,263, and for Jones 9,566. Should Revill . lose nothing in these counties,his major ity would be 11,705. We apprehend there has been a..comparatively small vote cast in the' 'irstDistrict, which may occasion a fur ther loss. Revill's majority will, however,cer tainly exceed 10,000, and may reach 12,000. Who doubts the Democracy of Kentucky ? Senatorial Elections in Ohio A correspondence appears in the Cincin nati Enquirer between several gentlemen and the Hon. Geo. E. Pugh, asking the opinion of the latter upon the constitutionality and le gality of an election of Senator by the pres ent legislature of that State, whose term shall commence at the expiration of Mr. Pugh's, which will occur on the 3d of March, 1861. He gives the opinion that the election will properly devolve upon the legislature to be chosen in October, 1859, as that will be the legislature actually in existence in March, 1861, when the senatorial term expires. Mr. Pugh argues the point at some length, alleg ing that the present legislature, neither unc der the law of the State of Ohio, nor accor ding to the constitution of the United States, has the power to make an election for the term to commence in 1861. The Hatters Bank Robbed of $66,000. BEITEEL, Connecticut, August 10.—The Hat ters Bank of this place was robbed on Sunday night of $86,000, chiefly in its own bills. The officers caution the public ciainet taking the bills at present. What is the necessity for such caution. Spill the bank refuse to redeem its own notes? The case has been decided over and over again, that a bank shall not repudiate its own notes, whether issued to a thief or for a onsideration. What a Name The New York Evening Post goes off on the Atlantic Cable, and calls it the .` Umbilical Cord." We du hope Queen Vic. will hurry up that little inaugural to the "favorite son," for if she ever sees this New York paper she will give way for the private despatches. The Moral Rectitude of John Oovcdo. The Blairsville American, in an article devoted to Mr. Covode, says that his representation in Congress has been one of "unbounded national popularity—an example of moral rectitude which spreads its brilliant light and vivifying influence from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean and from the Frigid to the Torrid zone—an example of statesmanship, unflinching integrity and perse vering industry, for which his fame has already reached to the centre of every civilized nation of the world. " It is said Covode wrote the above, but didn't like to put it on thick, for fear people might imagine he was a candidate for the Presiden cy—of some Westmoreland Coal Company. A Disappointed Editor. There is excellent sense in the following, from a late number of the Pittsburgh Horning Post, the editor of which was a candidate for the post office of that city. It is fall of the right spirit. Barr, you had better be independent in the Post than dependent in the post office. It will teach your children that it is a great deal better to set up and distribute their own letters than to be made slaves by distributing the letters of others. —Philadelphia Press. All very fine talk, Mr. Forney, but just think of those four thousand a year, without sacrificing "nary" principle. On the contra ry, it would have assisted our expression, nerved oar arm for the fight, and „made us just as impudent as the statute admits. We feel convinced the President is very sorry for what he has done, and was often heard to re peat, before he made his sign manual at Be d ford, after a big drink of iron rust-magnesia barr-beate water, "If it were dunn, when 'tie dann, then 'twere well it were dunn quickly," and down it went. We never did cry over spilt milk, but we don't like to see the cream wasted, and the only thing that consoles us is, that the President says he won't do it again. Tam Chronicle of yesterday, pitches into the True Press editors in classic style. Per haps the Chronicle editor is not aware_ of the conspiracy on the part of the True Press men, to write down the newspapers of Pitts burgh. The very Cataline of the group is John Beefhead Kennedy. • An Excellent Suggestion. The New York News has the following, which we think a good suggestion. It is em inently proper - that the consummation of the great event should be properly celebrated, and we know of no more appropriate manner in which it can be done. An illumination of the public buildings in the cities and towns where there are telegraph offices, might be added to the programme :—" We learn thd the Vestrymen of Trinity have determined on celebrating the event of the first successful working of the Atlantic Telegraph Gable, by ringing a merry peal on theit bells for an hour after the transmission of the first mes sage. We would suggest that all the churches throughout the country should follow the ex ample of Trinity ; and also, that at the same hour a general salute be fired throughout the Continent. The suggestion is worthy of gen eral attention. May not the entire suggestion be acted upon? The occasion of such a con summation is sufficiently grand to justify a general " glorification." But there is no time to be lost in arranging the matter ; for it will be seen by the latest despatches froth 'Trinity Bay, that the first message may be expected every hour. Let America rejoice in one un broken harmony - over the most important of all achievements in the history of human undertakings." North Carolina. Judge Ellis, Democrat, is the Governor elect of North Carolina. WE have some important news relative to Cen tral America. It seems that the Presidents of Costa - Rica and Nicaragua have amicably ar ranged all their diEdculties, and jointly appealed to Great Britian and France for protection against the United States. Oar government has taken up the matter-spiritedly. [Oarrespondance of tha Pittsburgh Post.] Si. PAUL, Minnesota, July 28, 1858 Dear Post :—A few day's experience of this city, and the country adjacent, has convinced mo that no exaggeration is need when it is spoken of in such superlative terms by the inhabitants, for its appear ance is certainly calculated to create admiration and enthusiasm in the mind of any one. The natural beauties of tho landscape that greet ono on every aide, the charming and plc° d lakes that abound so plentifuly, filled with the finest and choicest fish, the magnificent prairies, together with the clear, in. vigorating atmosphere, combine to render it the greatest resort in the Union. In addition to the pleasures to be had after reach . ing here, the voyage from Prairie do Chien, by one of the splendid steamers that ply en the Mississippi, is the most satisfactory a tourist can take. Tho great variety and magnificence of the ever-changing scenery, the beautiful and picturesque views, the grandeur and sublimity of the towering bluffs which line the river on both sides, now precipitous and rugged, rising to a height of five or six hundred feet, and again sloping gently to the water's odgo, with as smooth and well cleared a surface as a now mown lawn, present a series of views impossible to be equalled. St. Paul has all the appearance of the flourishing and growing city it is said to be. Spread over a large and uneven surface, it gives the idea of a town of twice the population claimed for it, which is about twelve thousand, I believe, at the present time. The streets are narrow and irregular, not paved, and lighted with gas manufactured from Pittsburgh coal. With many fine public buildings and elegant private residences, the predominance of small wooden build• ings, and unsightly shanties, usual in all western towns, creates rather an unfavorable „impression, un til opportunity is had to examine it in detail. There are a number of very fine public buildings in the city, among which, the State Capitol is, per haps, the - largest and best. It has en elevated and handsome location in the rear of the town, and is one of the first objects seen as you approach by the river. The Legislature is yet in session, and is about as tumultuous and noisy a body as our own, and other Legislatures, if not more so. Tho bitterest feeling seems to exist between the two parties, which is displayed almost continually by the grossost per sonal attacks and vituperation. Yesterday the orposi tion were united on a contest relative to the repea of a rule which interfered very much with the trans• action of business, and as an offset, a protest was got up and entered on the proceedings, comparing the presiding officer of the senate, Lieut. Governor Hol comb, to Judas Iscariot. The whole affair was cer tainly disgraceful to any party, but shows to what an extent party feeling is carried. Much interest is felt hero in relation to the estab lishment of an overland route to Frazer's river. Soy_ eral public meetings have been held for the purpose of directing attention to the subject. Interesting statements and documents Nero read there, which establishes the superior advantages of St, gaul as a point of departure for that region. The distance from here to the gold fields is about 1700 miles , through a country which is said to abound in all kinds of game, plonty of grass, and not molested by Indians. One or two parties have alrsady started, and others will soon follow. It is thought the jour ney can be made t:n about seventy days, at an ex pense of less than two hundred dollars. It soems a cheap and safo way of reaching tbla new found aurif erous region, and certainly offers inducer:ie. - 44 to ad venturers desirous of going there. A's this is the season of the year that the traders of the Red river lay in their semi-annual sup• plies, the city is full of them and their queer looking vehicles. The far trade of Northern Minnesota and Dacotab, which at one time was very extensive, is almost entirely in their hands now. It is still con eiderable, and the amount of their purchases, en the occasion of each of their visits, is a valuable item in the business of this place. Tho peltries are brought down in a clumsily-constructed wooden ox cart, bound together with a Buffalo hide, in charge of a half-breed or Indian. They come a distance of from six hundred to a thousand miles, twice a year. Their hunting grounds lie adjacent to the Hudson Bay Company's possessions, who are beginning to pass through this port the supplies used at their factories, instead of bringing them through Canada, as has been the custom heretofore. A few days since, five hun dred packages of goods, for the use of this company, passed through here to Pembina, the northern fron tier of Minnesota. . In the southern portion of the State, tho crops are in good condition, and the farmers feel well satisfied. In this vicinity, the heavy rains are interfering with the harvests, which are just now commencing. M.

Murray, the publisher, undertook to give him two thousand pounds out of the pro ceeds of the first edition of twelve thousand cop ies. When the second edition was called for, the publisher wrote to the author that he should have a third of the profits. A third and a fourth impression was demanded, and this princely pub lisher informed the traveler that he should have half of the profits of all , the editions together, first, second, third and fourth. Moreover, Mur ray paid up the money at once, and Livingstone had it in his pocket before he left Scotland. Egcapo of a Murderer Oa June 6th, a man named Stone, who killed Mclntyre, a coalboatman, on a steamboat, was committed to the Louisville jail for 60 days to await a requisition from the Governor of Lonisi ans to answer for the murder, which was of great atrocity. The requisition was brought here on Thursday by a New Orleans officer, who, with policeman Kirkpatrick, wont to Grayson Springs for Judge 1 uir, through whose action only could the prisoner be given. up. The 60 days wore oat on Friday night, and on Saturday, Stone's lawyer went to the jail and demanded his release. The jailer refused to comply without an order from Judge Johnston, who had previ ously had the prisoner committed to await the requisition. Judge Johnston informed the jailer that the man was entitled to his liberty, and, act ing under his advice, Stone was released and of course fled. The New Orleans officer returned in the evening and found tho bird flown. Cer tainly, the exhibit of the requisition construct ively placed the murderer in the custody of the Lousiana officer, and there Vas no authority to discharge him. The public would like to know 1 why this was done. The requirements of justice ahoald have held this murderei against sny tech nicality of law, if such existed. [Louisville; Courier. M'lntyre was a Pittsburgher, and received twenty-one stabs from the fiend Stone. It was one of the most brutal murders on record. Yet the jail cliqu e of Know Nothings at Louisville thrust the murderer again on so ciety, or perhaps to assist at the polls on election day. The Telegraph Across the Atlantic-4143w It will be worked. Th e New York Times, in a history o f the Tel egraph, gives the following information how the Telegraph across the Atlantic will be work ed:— TILE BATTERY TO BE WED IN TELEGRAPHING The primary source of the influence whioh will ba charged with the service of AtMafia Tele graphy will be a giant voltaic battery, of ten capacious cells, which may appropriately termed the " Whitehouse Laminated or Perpetual Main tenance Battery," on account of the one mark ed peculiarity which especially fits it for the employment it is designed for. This battery is made upon the Sale principle, so far as the adoption of platinized silver and zinc) for its plates is concerned ; but it differs from every form of combination that has hitherto been in use, in having the plates of each cell so subdi vided into subordinate portions, that any one of these maybe taken away from the rest for the purpose of renewal or repair, Without the ac tion of the rest af the excited surface of the cell being suspended for a single moment. The bat tery, in fact, may be entirely renewed a hun dred times without its operation having been troubled with even a passing intermiesion. So long as a fair amount of attention is given to the renewal of its zinc element, piecemeal, it is in deed, literally exhaustless and permanent. This very desirable quality is secured by a singular. ly simple and ingenious contrivance. The cell itself is formed of a quadrangular trough of gut ta peroha, wood-strengthened outside, in which dilute acid is contained, tho proportion of acid to water being one part in 15 or 16. There are grooves in the gutta percha into which several metal plates slide, in a vertical position. These plates are silver and zinc alternately, but they we pairs of plates in an electrical Benne. Each zinc plate rests firmly at the bottom on a long bar of zinc, which rues from end to end of the trough, and thus virtually unites the whole int) one continuous extent of zinc, presenting not less than 2000 square inches of excitable sur face to the excitable liquid. Each silver plate hangs in a similar way from a metalic bar which runs from and to end of the trough above, the whole of the silver being thus virtually united into one continuous surface of equal extent to the face of the zinc. The zinc does not reach as high as the upper longitudinal bar, and the silver does flat hang down as low as the inferior logitudinal bar. The battery is thus composed of a single pair of laminated plates, although to the eye it seems to be made up of several pairs of plates. Nature has set the example of arranging an extended surface into reduplicating folds, when it is required that eneh surface shall be packed away in a narrow space at the same lime that a large acting area is preserved, in the laminated antennae of the cock chafer. The antennae, indeed, are the types of the White house battery. If any one of these reduplicat ed segments of either kind of metal is removed, the remaining portion continues its action stead ily, the effect merely being the same that would be produced if a fragment of an ordinary pair of plates were temporarily cut away. The sil ver laminae are of considerable ihickricas, and scourely platinated" all o ver— th at is, plati num is thrown dowa upon their surfaces in a compact metallic form, and not merely in the black palrerulent NtatO ; consequently they are almost exempt areas; wear. Each zinc lamina is withdrawn as soon as its amalgamation is inju riously affected, or:so soon as its own substance is mainly eaten awey - by the action of the chem ical menstruum in widen it ie immersed, and a freshly e.malgamated, or new zinc lamina, is in serted into its plea:a. ''he capability of the piecemeal renewal of the eoassim p tive element of the battery In this interpolatory and fragmen tary way is then the came of its "perpetual main - taining" power. The intensity of a voltaic ar rangement de a l:elide upon the number of its pairs of plates, or cells. If, in the experiment, the intetaity of the electricity had been increas ed w ith ou t 8 4 alterat;on of quantity, merely by multiplying the numiaj! of (vb. Dona . engaged, or by some =ale-gone modification r lasu`rtzwo l eta f i agency, the body which resisted the our::"' of the battery with such complete effect, would have been bashed through and burnt no, like the fragment of metal that had inferior powers of resistance. NEW DEVICE TO AVOID A DESTRUCTION OF THE The flashes of light and crackling sparks produced on making and breaking contact with the poles of this great battery, are very undo sire,ble phenomena in one particular. They are accompanied by a considerable waste of metal of the pole. Each spark is really a con siderable fragment of the metal absorbed into itself by the electrical agent, so to speak, and flown away with by it. To avoid thie danger, an ingenious contrivance of the Electrician of the Company will be used. First he arranged a set of twenty brass springs, something of the form and appearance of the keys of a musical instrument in opposite pairs, so that a round horizontal bar, turning pivot-ways on its centre, and flattened at the top, could lift by an edge either of the sets of ten springs ; right or left, as it was turned. This enabled the contact to be distributed through _the entire length and breath of the brass springs, and the course of the current to be reversed aocerdingly as the right or left edge (the bar being worked by a crank-handle) was rsised to the right or left of the springs—the right set, it will ho un deretood, being the representatives of one of the poles of the battery, and the left set of the other pole. By this arrangement four-fifths of the sparks were destroyed, simply on account of the large surface of metal through which the electrical current had to pass when contact was completed. Still there remained enough to con stitute a very undesirable residue. This was disposed of finally, after sundry tentative at tempts, by coiling a piece of fine platinum wire and placing it in a porcelain vessel of water, and then leaving this fine platinum coil in con stant communication with the opposite poles The battery is unquestionably one of the most economical that has ever been set to work, con sidering the amount of service it is able to per form. It is calonlatedithatthe cost of maintaining the ten-celled attery . operation at the ter minal stations on either side of the Atlantic, in cluding all wear and tear and consumption of material, will not exceed one shilling per hour. —Buffalo THANBMIS SION OF THE CURRENT The primary voltaic current prooured from this battery, will be used to " stimulate and call up " the energies of those fleeter messengers, electrical in nature, by the aid of which alone can the message be expedited. The voltaic cur rent therefore passes to a silk covered wire, in innumerable coils, enveloping a bar of soft iron immediately sheathed in gutta-percha. lieveral miles of this fine wire (No. 20,) are twined about this iron centre ; then comes another coat of gutta-percha, then another coil of wire,thick er this time, (No. 14.) and 14 miles in length. The voltaic current, passing through the wires and reaching the iron core, converts it into a powerful magnet, exciting a current of electri city, which is delivered to the No. 20 coil, and thence to the cable, whence it departs on its transatlantic voyage. Electricity having thus produced in the first instance magnetism, and magnetism having reproduced electricity, a trans missive power is obtained, which the original current did not possess. THE RECEIVING INSTRUMENT The transmission current generated in these double induction coils, on reaching the further side of the Atlantic, will of course have become somewhat faint and weak from the extent of the journey it has performed. It will not therefore be set in this state to print or to hard work ; but it will be thrown into a sort of nursery. known as the receiving, instrument, where its flagging energies will be restored. The conducting strand of the cable will be here made continuous with a coil of wire, surrounding a bar of soft iron which will become a temporary magnet, strong in proportion to the number of turns in the coil, whenever the current passes. This temporary magnet will have its precise polarity determined by the direction in which the electrical current passes along the wire. The pole which will be north when the current passes in ono direction, will be south when the current runs the opposite way. The apparatus relied upon by the €ompany to effect this object is an improvement upon the relay magnet, which figured in Messrs. Cooke and Wheatstone's patent. The advantage of it is, that the temporary magnet has no other work to do than to make the small permanent magnet traverse upon its almost frictionless pivot. On account of this peculiarity of construction, it possesses the utmost sensibility. It may be put into vigorous action by a sixpence, and a frag' ment of zinc placed on the moist tongue. When two or three of these instruments are scattered about in the room where the large double induo tion coils are at work, they are then merely tra versing upon their pivots, obediently to the meg netio attraction of the great bare, having their magnetism succeesfally reversed some two or three yards away, and curiously enough, are sympathetically reFording,at th su ro e u h gh tim th e e s, tr4 mission`pre cisely the same signals and messages that the groatm c ar us. ets are sending iir TILE BECORDING 14410IIINEILY The:actual recording work of the telegraph will be performed by the ordinary instrument of Professor Morse. In this recording instrument a ribbon of paper is unrolled from a hollow oyl- inder or drum by a train of clock-work, and as it is unrolled, asharp styleonagnetioally directed, indents a series of dots or lines upbn the paper. When the style is thrust down, only for an instant, ' as the paper is dragged beneath a dot is impress ed. When it is kept down for a little more than an instant, s lengthened line or dash is left on the onward moving paper as a track. But how is the style thus magnetically controlled ? It is ' held up by a strong spring. Beneath it there is a soft iron bar, which becomes a magnet when~ ever a voltaic current is turned on from the local ! battery along a coil surrounding it. Whenever the soft iron bar'becomes a magnet, it is stronger than the spring, and drags down the style to make its dot or dash, as the ease may be. When it ceases to be a magnet, the spring comes into play, and lifts the style up, eo that the paper traverses on beneath, traceless and free. The style is held down an instant, or more than an in stant, accordingly as an instantaneous or as a prolonged current is sent from the transmission coil, and therefore from the local recording bat tery through the short circuit, for as it has been seen, the two will be in magnetic and electrical rapport, although severed by the Atlantic's breadth. There will be only one conducting strand laid down in the Atlantic, but yet enough distinct signals can be transmitted by this one wire, to accommodate all the letters of the alphabet and the several numerals. When a message is sent across the Atlantic, the crank handle of the mighty battery will be worked backward and forward, making its contacts instantaneous or prolonged. When they are instantaneous, dots will be formed on the paper ribbon by the re cording style at the other side of the Atlantic ; when they aro protracted, dashes will be traced there. Words will be spelt according to the way in which instantaneous and protracted con tacts, and therefore dots and dashes, are causs'd to succeed each other. The trace on the paper in America will correspond to the movement of the hand in Great Britain, or vice versa. The clerks who attend at the recording instriameut become so expert in their curious hieroglyphics that they do not need to look at the printed re cord to know what the message under reception is ; the recording instrument has for them an in telligible articulate language. They understand its speech. They can close their eyes, and listen to the strange clicking that is going on close to their ear, while the printing is in progress, and at once soy what it all means.

Although that house, by telegraph, wished to reduce their proposals to one million, the Secretary acted on the prin ciple that nothing but sealed proposals, to bo first opened by him, could be considered. One of the bidders of the premium of five per cent., telegraphed, offering five and a half per cent. for, twenty thousand, but the Secretary would not consider the telegraph despatch, and made the award at fivo.
