I had die tope that he was 'about to explain to the public the wore generil! use of this instrunieut,—which, With a stupid fatuity, the public has, as yet, fail ed to grasp.. Because its signals have been first applied by means of elmfirc-tna , -- . iactism, and afterwards by means of the chemical power of electricity, the Many- headed people refuses to avail itself, as it • might do very easily, of the game signals, for thesimpler traustuissioh of intellogence, —whatever the power empi4ed. The great invention of Mr. Norst is his register and alphabet. 'He himself eiger ly disclaims any petensiOns.to the !origi. ual conception. of the use of electricity as an errand-boy.-- Hundreds of people had thought of that and suggested it; but Morse was the first to give the.errand-boy suoh a written message, that he could not lose:it on the way, nor mistake it when he arrived. The public, , eager to thank Morse, as he deserves, thanks' him for something he, did not. invent. For this he probably , cares very little.. lipr dot kare more. But the public does not thank hial for what he' did originate,—this in valuable and simple alphabet., Now, as I use it Myself in every detail of life,; and see every hour how the publio ,might use it, if it those, I am. really sorry for this T. .1.

The commUnitiaticu of usefiLl information is never trifling. It is as im p.ot.int to save a nice child from mortifi cation cn examination-day, as it is to tell Mr. Fremont that he is not elected Pres ident. If, however, the tvader Is distress ed, because these illustrations do tot seem to his more benighted observation tO be long to the big how-wow attain of human life, let him consider the arrang,ement which ought, to have been made years since, for loc-shores, railroad collisions:. and that curious class of maritime acci dents where one steamer runs into another under the impression that she is a light house. Imagine the Morse alphabe.t. ap plied .to a steam-whistle, which is often heard live miles. It needs only lo;ig and short ::gain. "Stop Coma," for instance, when you send it down the railroad line, by the wire, is exp Yessed thus : •• • -- Very good message, if Comet happens to be at the telec,raph station when it conies ? . But what if Cowet has gone by' Much goad will your-trumpery uiessage do then ! i If, however, you have the wit to sound your long and short on an engine -whistle,' thus :---Sere sere, acre; screcee; acre Sere; 'sere sere acre sere; acre sere=—sere;. sere ' acre, sereeeee sereeeee; sere; screeeee ; why, then the whole neighborhood, for 1 fiv'e.miles round, hill know that Comet l must stop, it only they understand spoken Ilanguage,—and, among others, the . en -1 eineinan - of Comet will understand it, and Nnet will nut run into -that wren's Of worlds which gives the order,—with his nticleits of hot iron and his tail of five hurl ! dred tuns of coal.--So, of the signalswhich fog-bells can give, attached to li g lit,lm;e. f flow excellent to have them . proclaitn . through the darkness, " I ain Wall" ! ~ O r Of signals i for steamship-enr:ineers.

The long and short of it is, that who. ever Can mark distinetions of time eon use this alphabet of longeind-short. die-ever he may mark them. It is, therefore!, with-- in the compass of all intelligent beings,! except those who are no longer conscious of the passage of time, hating eseliangedi its limitations for the wider sweep of eter-! nity. The illimitable range of this alpha-1 bet, however, is not hallAiselosed when this has been said. Mess' articulate lan - gunge , addresses itself to one sense, or at i most to two, sight and sound. I . see,, I write, that the particular illustrations have given are all of them confined to sig nals seen Or signals heard. Rut the dot-.: and-line alphabet, in the few vee. , -s of its history, has already shown that it is not restricted to these two senses, but makes itself intelligible to ail. Its message, of' course, is heard as well as read. - Any! good operator understands the sounds of! its ticks Upon the flewlime strip of paper.! as well as when he secs it. As he lies in his cut at midnight, he will expound the passing ink-see:les: with6ut striking a to see it. But this is only whet Oay be! said of any written language. You carf! read this article to y;mr wife, 'or she call; read it, as she 'prefers; that is, shwelio6s-: es a hrther it shall address her,e.ye or her. ear. But the long-and-short alphabet of . Morse and his imitators despises such nar row range. it addresses whichever of the five senses the listener choo , ees. This f a c t is illustrated by a curious set of anecdotes I —never vet put in print, I think—of that , critical dispatch which one night i imuneed General Taylor's - deeth to this; whole land. Most of the readers of thes'e: lines probably- read that di-patch in the morning's paper. The compositors and editors had read it. , To them it was a die , - patch fo the eye. But leathe operator:l -at the stations heard St tic'eed out, by the! register stroke, and anew • it bee:ore-they wrote it down for the press. • To them It was a dispatch to the ear.
