DIRECTOR OP THE POOE
JOHN BUYLE, Indiana:
GREAT indignation is expressed by Demo
crats and among honorable men of all parties,
at the treatment received by Judge Wilkins,
in the hate Democratic Convention. His snow
white hairs, his years, his services at least
demanded a decent respect. Often in Alle
gheny county Conventions, when not a dele
gate, he has been invited to a seat on the
floor, and frequently called upon to address
the Convention. !Jinn his recent visit to
Washington, at the bequest of Mr. Buchan
an, he remained his guest for two weeks, and
was everywhere treated, by the most distin
guished men of the day, with the greatest re••
spect. Yet here, in his old home, where he
_has spent his days, he is denied the privilege
in a Convention—a Democratic Convention—
of offering a resolution endorsing' Mr. Bu
ehanan'a efforts in rescuing the American flag
from settling a quegtion which has
been the subject of negotiation or bickering
sines the last war with Great Britain. There
was no Lecomptonism in that—no nigger in
the wood pile—no distracting element ; but a
plain, respectable resolution, which every true
American should have rejoiced at ; every Dem
ocrat having one particle of respect for his
party or love for his country, have voted for.
Yet it was ruled by the Chairman out of or
der. We regret the introduction of the fashion
which rules Democratic doctrines out of order
and "leads men to skulk behind policy and
evade principle. Why this fear to speak
-the truth ; but above all, why refuse the old.
est prominent Democrat in Allegheny county
the priyilegeOf even reading a complimentary
resolution of a Democratic President. Well
may he exclaim, "save me from my friends."
The letter of Judge Shaler shared the same
fate—it was decided too strong on the ride of
the Administration, and slumbered with the
Committee. Mr. Shaler is in favor of the
Lecompton policy of President Buchanan,
and has sustained him throughout. Fur this
he fell, and at the hands of men who should
lie.Ve taken better care of him.
FUN P.i Y
The comments of the press on the fir-t
sage announced from the Queen, in the al..
breviated form in which it reached them, are
quite interesting. Some, anticipating more ?
from Iler August Majesty, set up the cry of
"hoax," and ignored it as not being the pros,
duction of a woman, owing to its brevity.
Others admire it for the same quality, and
called it perfect, while many, who had
plicit faith in its genuineness, said it was a
poor excuse and amounted to nothing in
reality. The President's reply was conced
ed on all hands to be " the thing." But when
the conclusion of the Queen's message WaP
given to the world, all doubt was at once
removed. Like all of the sex she was deter
mined to have the last word, and when her
say was said, the multitude of scribblers
raised their voices and shouted "God cave
the Queen 1"
Now, that the excitement attendant upon
the two pioneer messages has, in a manner,
subsided, the press is flooded with puns,
squibs and quotations concerning the cable.
Every sentence containing the words link,"
"connection," " cord," &c., apt or inapt,
wheth l or from Holy Writ or profane Shake
spear6,' is pressed into the service of the
generfil theme, and called a prophecy, many
of them without a syllable which can be
tortured into any application to tilt') present
And then, too, every unscrupulous gentle ,
men who has a . smattering of science is scrap•
ing among his old documents to find some•
thing which can be construed into a forshad'
owing of the principle of the telegraph, and
strenuous exertions are being made, by silly
pretenders, to filch the honors from those to
whom they belong.
But, seriously, Professor Morse is in danger
of losing his laurels. By a letter from ]lon.
Ellis Lewis, in another column, it will be
seen that the idea of telegraphic communicaa
tion, by electric wires, was suggested by J.
Redmon Cox, in 1816, which, if true, would
certainly give him the honor of the invention.
Yet the fame of Morse and of Field can not
be ignored by any revelations of this charac
ter. To them must be conceded the praise of
carrying into effect the crude ideas of others.
We think Cyrus W. Field fairly entitled to
the commendation and heartfelt gratitude of
the inhabitants of the entire globe, as having,
with a perseverance and energy, under diffi.
culties - which would have discouraged an
ordinary man, consummated the crowning
event of this age of progress and improve
ment.

The meeting which has been more than
half anticipated Letween George D. Prentice
of the Louisville Journal, and R. 'l'. Durrett,
of the Courier, growing out of their old diffi
culties and their recent newspaper controver
sey, involving personal allusions anything
but creditable, will not come off. The Demo
crat of Thursday contains the correspondence
between the two gentlemen in which their
difficulties are amicably adjusted and promises
of peace made for the future. A very sage
conclusion as the weather at this time is en
tirely too hot for personal encounters.

. A CENTURY.
The completion of the Atlantic Telegraph
will hereafter be regarded as the most im-
portant event of the year 1858. This occur
rence constitutes the middle of the present
century, a point from which men will look
backwards and forward to estimate the pro
gress of civilization. The attention of Amer•
jeans is thus naturally drawn to their own
AuGust 21 1868
history, and unto is forcibly led to contrast tlit‘
state of things now existing with the past.
The wonderful progress made and making
on this western eon tinent may be imperfectly
realized by comparing the present year with
175 N But one century has since elapsed ; yet
that period has sufficed to changv the face of
the globe. And numerous as have been the
alterations elsewhere effected, the greatest and
most wonderful of them all have taken place
in the t nite'd States. The year 175 found
England at war with France. The prize for
which these great powers contended in Amer
ica was the possession of the aanadas and the
fertile valley of the Ohio, which then had
been but recently explored. All that region
west of the Alleghenies, now the seat of so
many commonwealths, was a dense wilder
ness, and mostly unknown to the white set
tlers of the Atlantic border. The very exist-
enee of the English settlements, indeed, seem
ed to be threatened by the French and the
savages who pretty generally acted as their
allies. The imbecility of the advisers of the
British government had given great advanta4
ges to the French in America. The defeat of
Braddock, three years before, had awakened
apprehensions which the bad management of
the British generals in the north and east
served to increaseand it was not 'Until Pitt
became premier that better councils predom

war, which then came to a favorable issue.—
The tide began to turn in 1758.

unfrequently accused of indulging in self
glorification, and and there is some foundation
in the charge. But when we reflect on all
that has been accomplished by our country
within the limits of a single century, it is not
surprising that we should be given to boast
ing. One hundred years have sufficed to
raise us from the condition of dependent col
onies to the rank of a first class power. In
stead of the occupants of a narrow strip of
the Atlantic seaboard, we have spread over
the whole continent, and cities are rising on
the Pacific, which at no very distant time will
vie with those of the east. The trackless and
dreaded wilderness has given place to cultiva
ted fields, to villages, and cities, and become
the home of civilized men. In the same time
all the modern improvements in the arts have
been introduced and especially those last and
highest products of the mind and skill of
man, steam and the electric telegraph. Pop
ulation, wealth, and general intelligence have
increased in a manner never before witnessed.
All the arts have made wonderful progress
amongst us : and altogether it may safely be
asserted tilat the United States has accom
plished more within a licnitd period than any
1 other nation.
But the most important features presented
Lv the United States are political. Our ma•
terial development is net se significant as that
great struggle whieli Lag went ou between
the euluuies and i',reat Britaiii, terminating
in the war the rer,dution. Aud a la:re
surprising I , pectaele heheld in the ad-
miraide wanner in v,lCl.kih governments were
framed and ever:, where"put successful oper
ation in this country, after independence of
:the mother country was declared. Nowhere
else has so great a genius for government been
displayed, for nowhere else has so fine an
opportunity been otlered. And it ought to be
remarked that these gov ernments are all of
them popular. Whatever power is exercised
is derived from the people, and the officers
are finally chosen by the peopl6. This is a
weighty circumstance, and will be so consid..
ere , " by all those who have made government
a subject of reflection. And, moreover, it
ought to induce every friend of popular gov , ,
ernment to put forth exertions to prevent
abuses which are liable to arise under our
system for in so doing they are vindicating
the capacity of the people for self govern ,
ment.
The Vaults of L. Sepulchre, London
ftemarkable Presereattou of n Corpse
A correspondent of the New York Evan
gelist, now in London, gives the following cu
rious narrative of his visit to the vaults of
the church of St. Sepulchre, in that city
"A strange sight was recently disclosed to
me in St. Sepulchre, one of the oldest, if not
the very oldest church edifice in this city. It
stands opposite Old Bailey, the hoary old pris
on, and not far from St. Paul's cathedral.—
This church was partially destroyed by the
great fire in London, but early rebuilt. It is
an immense edifice, with a very wealthy par
ish, yet only two ur three hundred persons
are ever in attendance at their place of wor
ship. Beneath the church are a series of
great burial vaults, where interments have
been made for many hundred years. The
sexton told me that it was estimated there
were 15,000 coffins now entiro,under the build
ing, and from an examination, I have no
doubt of its truth.
"The atmosphere of the vaults seems to
have a remarkable effect in preserving the
coffins, if not the bodies, from decay. De
scending through an iron door from the church
the other day, we entered a very large apart.
ment,but dimly lighted,where piles of mouldy,
black looking coffins were piled upon each
other. These coffins, with all their elegant
and costly trimming, had not yet been deeom •
posed. Climbing np over a heap of them, the
sexton opened a large wooden bus, and out
to it took an entire female figure, in a remark•
able state of preservation ! The limbs were
unbroken, and the body- perfect, except the
flesh shrunken, yet it was still soft and flexi.
ble to the touch.
" The sexton stated that the officers of the
church had recently been examining the
vaults, as the burials there had long ceased,
they designed to close the entrance. Before
doing so, they had been making a careful sur
vey of the premises, and under a mass of rub
bish in one corner, they found a stone enclo
sure, a sort of sarcophagus, out of which the
female figure was taken. It is believed to be
over three centuries old, and evidently, from
its position, it was a female of rank. It
a strange sight in this subterranean charnel
house, with blackened coffins "riled up to the
high ceiling all around, to see this entire hu
man figure raised up bodily fr..ru its resting
place, and standing erect upon a coffin before
you ! The fact of its ex,istence is probably
known to but few persons, and before this
reaches you, the entrance of it will be eb.sed
to all further inspection.
"Why I happened to have the privilege of
seeing this strange sight extended to me, was
rather curious in itself. The sexton's wife,
seeing me looking in at the dour of this quaint
old church, made some remark which led to
the disclosure that I was an American. She
then inquired if I knew a relative of hers in
New York„ o Upon giving his name, and
showing me his daguerreotype, I discovered
it to be an old acquaintance, secretary of a
public institution on Broadway. Of course
they were delighted, and were unusually civil
to me."

WEST PENN SQUARE,
Philadelphia, August 18, 1868. }
Editor., Pennsylvanian :-I.la our public re
joicings over the greatest achievement which
the world has ever witnessed, (the electrical
union of England and America,) it will, I hope,
be in order to render due honor to our venerable
fellow citizen, Professor Redmon Cox. In the
year 1816, forty-two years ago, ho addressed a
letter to a scientific gentlemen iu London, on the
subject of electricity. That letter was written
in Philadelphia, and was published in London,
in February, 1816. It is to be found in the
" Annals of Philosophy," published in London,
in February, 1816, page 163. From that work
I have carefully copied the following extract
from Professor Cox's letter:
"I have contemplated this important agent (elec
tricity) as a probable means of establiehieg tele
graphic communication with as much rapidity and
perhaps less expanse than any heretofore employed.
I do not know how far experiment has determined
galvanic action to be communicated by means of
wires, but there is no reason to suppose it confined
as to limits, certainly not as to time. Now, by
means of apparatus fixed at certain distances as tele
graphic stations, by tubes for the decompositing of
water, and of tnetalic salts, &e., regularly ranged,
snob a key might be adopted as would be requisite to
communicate words, sentences and figures,
from one
station to another, and so on to the end of the line.
Howiverfanciful and speculative, I have no doubt
that sooner or liter it
J ill be rendered useful in
practice.JOHN REDMON COX.'
"PHILADELPHIA, 116."
In communicating the foregoing extract, of
course I do not announce a new fact. I merely
wish to bring an old'one prominently/at° view.
Nor is it my wish to detract from the merit of
those great practice' minds who have so sue
oessfully applied the theories of philosophy to
useful purposes. As Americans, and especially
as Philadelphians, we may feel a just pride in
the recollection that the system of telegraphic
communication by electricity was conceived by a,
citizen of Philadelphia, and communicated to a
citizen of London, more than forty-two years
ago. Yours, ac.,
ELLIS LEWIS.
A Petrilied Elan.
An extraordinary narative having much of
the long-bow or canard appearance, is given
in a late number of the Alta, California.—
One " Friederich Lichtenberg, M. D. Ph. D.,
writes the circumstance of the death and pet
rification (Not putrefaction) of his friend
" Ernest Flucherspigle," near Fort Langly,
in the Frazier River region. Both were Rus
sians, and both were scientiffc men. Ernest
and a companion named Wilhelm Fiedler,
were in the habit when no gold was to be
found, of gathering and opening geodes, which
are masses of quartz, containing cavities lined
with crystal. Sometimes these contained a
fl id, called the water of crystallization. Er
nest one day broke open one which contained
a half pint of water. With a jesting remark,
he drank it off. Before he got back to camp
be began to feel ill, and soon afterwards
died. His body immediately - hecame very ri
gid, and Friederich undertook a post-mortem
examination.
The knife grated on the flesh ; the blood ves
sels were hard as if ossified ; the stomach and
its contents were turned into stone ; the heart
was like a piece of red jasper ; and a little
while poor Ernest Fluoherspiegel, was a mass
that could only be further dissected by stone
cutters. Having cut out the heart and a few
other choice bits of his old friend, Frieder
ich buried the rest of him. Ile made some
ekperiments on the specimens he had, and
found that they were densely impregnated
In fact by drinking a halt pint
poor Ernest had himself turned into a quartz.
' Friederieh Lichtenberger, M. D. Ph. D." is
highly delighted with his discovery, and say s
he is going to send the specimens he has to
the Academy of Natural Soienee, Philadel
phia, for examination.
Hui! P !—Terrill, of the Lafayette Journal ,
is pretty good on a sharp reply and a play
upon words. A correspondent wishes to
know the reason of the hump on the camel's
back. Terrill replies:
We will mention for our correspondent's bene
fit, that the Arabs have two legends in regard
to it. One is that the camel took offense at not
being allowed to head the procession into the
Ark, and got his back up ; and Allah as a jitst
punishment for his vanity and presumption, and
as a memorable and perpetual warning to others,
never permitted him to get it down again. "Ao
other is, that he was grazing at a distance from
the Ark, when Noah put out his bills for sailing,
and in order to reach the boat in time, was com
pelled to hump himself in a most extraordinary
manner. We give these orientalisms for what
they are worth.
[From the Savann anti Republican.]
The Blount-De ILlverle Ai:Tatar—A Slight
Some of our cotemporaries in writing of this
this curious romance, seem to think the object
of the Zouave is to marry the subject of his ado
ration, Miss Blount. This is a mistake. The
young lady asserts unqualifiedly that they were
lawfully married before they made the tour to
New York, and had lived as man and wife for
weeks before the separation The secret of
his pertinacity then is simply to hold on to the
prize already won. The fact of his having
another wife now living in the State of Penn
syluania seems to be, in the present status of
the case, the only family obstacle to his suc
cess.
By the way, we learn that the romantic Cap
tain grew quite chivalrous on the eve of hie de
parture from Savannah. He remarked on board
the steamer that fighting was simply a pastime
with him, and if any gentleman desired to be ao
aommodated in that way, he was always ready
to satisfy him after breakfast hours, as he was
generally at leisure the remainder of the day.
He would lie over till the next steamer to oblige
a beligerant—meet him half-way, or rather than
be nice aboutit, go to the whole distance him

scriptions, I herewith enclose - ou--tsithout receiving any
benefit. About ono year ago, I took a very bad cold, "think
ing a good cathartic would help me," I procured a box of
your Inane's Liver Pills, alter the very first dose of which
I was happy to find they not only relieves! me of my cold,
but very sensibly checked my Diarrhoea. I continued tak
ing them until I had taken a little more than one box,when
I felt that I was not only relieved of my cold, but entirely
cured of my Chronic Diarrhoea, and have enjoyed uninter
rupted good health ever since. Eloping all who may be
similarly affected, may be induced to give your illane's
Celebrated Liver Pills a trial, I remain yours, truly,

come here with extraordinary powers, and to act
in conjunotion with Ythisari, his government be
ing apprehensive that the latter would not be

ho has full authority to make due reparation or
apology, and to arrange the Treaty.

steamers at Liverpool, respecting the disaster
11 hioh occurred to the steamer Europa.
Resignation of Mr. Field.,
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—Mr. Field persists in

The Laying of tho Cable in England
New Yang, August 20.—The Cunard steam
ship, Arabia, arrived We morning at au early
hour.
The regular packages of newspapers are mis
sing, and are. supposed to have been lost during
the eollision with the Europa, or while being
transferred to the latter. There are no pap,re
later than Friday morning, the 6th inst.
The British frigate Agamemnon arrived at
Valencia on the morning of the 6th inst., and
the successful laying of the cable sent up the
telegraph shares in one day from 260 pounds to
850 pounds. The Evening Express says that
there is general satisfaction felt at the result,
and shares have risen to 800 pounds with buy
ers, but seldom demand 1000 pounds A sale at
900 pounds is reported.
The Liverpool papers contain the following
despatch:—Vcdencia, August 6.—The Agamem
non arrived to-day. The Niagara is in Trinity
B sy, and there are good signals between the
ships. A breach of continuity occurred in the
cable on the evening the day that the Niagara
and Agamemnon parted when in company in
mid ocean, which lasted an hour and a half.
The Agamemnon was stopped and the injury re
paired, though not until the hopes of holding on
to the cable had been abandoned.
On Friday, the 30th nit., the Agamemnon en
countered a gale against which the ship, under
fall steam, could hardly make headway. The
three succeeding days the gale continued with
violent squalls, the sea running tremendously
high, and no one expecting the cable to hold
from one minute to another. On Wednesday
the weather moderated, and all went well until
the Agamemnon anchored in Doolas Bay.
The German papers state that the Queen of
England's visit to Berlin is to arrange the ques
tion of the Regency, with a view to protect the
interests of her daughter.
