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.

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

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

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.

WASHINGTON CITY, August 7 0.--The Secretary
of the Treasury has awarded the two millions of
a loan to Robbins S.; Son. 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. This loan at one hundred and
eight pays the same rate of interest as the Gov
ernment six per centum loan at one hundred and
fourteen and a half.
The Secretary of the Navy loft this morning
for Connecticut. He will be absent about three
weeks, and before returning he will inspect the
navy yards. Chief clerk Welah will be Acting
Secretary.
From present indications, it is supposed at the
Navy Department that the Paraguay expedition

Ago and Debility.
As old age comes creeping on, it brings many at
tendant infirmaties. Loss of appetite and weakness
impair the health, and want of activity makes the
mind discontondod and unhappy. In oases where
old age adds its influence, it is almost impossible to
add vigor and health, and although many remedies
have been tried, all have failed, until IRERHAVE'S
lIOLLAZTD BITTERS were known and used. In
every case where they have been employed they
have invariably given strongth and restored the
appetite. They have Name a great agent for this
alone, and are used by many people who are suffer
ing from lose of appetite and general debility. In
cases of long standing chronic diseases, they act as
a charm, invigorating the system, thus giving nature
another opportunity to repair physical injr.ries.

RETT, OF TEE NEW YORE LUNG INFIRM
AIIY.—My connection for the past eight years with the
above Institution, as Chief Physician, and a twelve yells'
course of steady devotion to the Cure of Pulmonary Con
sumption and its kindred diseases, together with my an
rivalled opportunities and advantage of pathological research
—aided not a little by a perfect system of Medical Inhala
tion—has enabled mo to native at a decisive, direct and sue
celeste' course of treatment for the positive and radical care
of all 'Themes of the Throat, Lungs, and Air-Pas:ages. By
Inhalation, the vapor and curative properties of medicines
are directly adreesed to the diseased organs and the integu
ment. Ldo not advise the use of Medical Inhalation of any
kind, to the exclusion of general tresbnent; and although I
consider it a useful adjuvant in the proper management of
those fearful and often fatal dimities, yet I'deem it very no.
canary that each patient should have the benefit of both
geceral and local treatment. The samosa of my treatment
In the above diseases, and the high character of the Institu
tion over which I have so long had the honor to preside,are
too well known to need any eulogy or comment from mo.
At the solicitation of many private and professional friends,
through whose philanthropic aid the above charity has been
long and liberally supported, and after due consideration, I
have concluded to make such arrangements as will bring
the benefits of my experiments and treatment within the
reach of all, and not confine myself, as heretofore, to those
only who entered the Infirmary, or who were able to visit
me at my office. hoping therefore that the arrangement
will give entire satisfaction, both to thy professional broth
. ran and the public, I would respectfully announce in con
clusion, that loan note be crnsulled personally or by /etteron
all diseases as above, and that the medicines, the same as
used in the Institution, prepared to suit each individual
case. Inhaling Vapors, Medical Inhalers, cin., de., will be
forwarded by express to any part of the United Rates or

as follows, viz: $l2 per month for each patient which will
include medicine sufficient for one month's use; also, In•
