A WARNING TO CALLITIIUMPIANS —We observe by the papers that Isaac Barker, of Tiverton, who was indicted for shooting Samuel Negus, has been acquitted, notwithstanding it was proven that he wounded seven persons at the first fire. The party had gone to the house orßarker on the night of his wedding, and serenaded him with tin horns, and kettles, &c. This mode of annoying citizens who have just committed matrimony, might as well be dispensed with for ell the benefit it accomplishes, and we ; take the liberty of saying that if it should he here. after discontinued in Columbia, the peace and corn. fort of our marrying folks will be hest consulted. It should be the duty of all to suppress it ; and if parents and masters would properly attend to those juveniles they have in charge, this kind of sport would no longer be tolerated.

This is, indeed, a subject that should ever be kept before the eyes of the public, as there in, perhaps, nothing of mere importance to man and which has a more direct bearing on his happiness, than the cultivation of the mental faculties and the aegoi.ition of sub. stantial knowledge. It is this that makes man truly a rational being. It is, emphatically, the foundation of all success and happiness. It is the only essential distinction between man and man ; the first and most essential clement of power; the germ of all prosperity; the means of all enjoy ment. To the attainment of this primary good, an earnest, dilligcnt, persevering application of the mental faculties is requisite. This, indeed, is the only effectual mean, of making the mind powerful in itself. Mere accumulation of knowledge is not the thing most desirable. It is strength of mind— discipline more than acquisition. The faculties of the mind bear a close analogy to the powers of the physical frame. It is a law in the animal economy that the action and power of an organ are commensurate, to a great extent, with the demand made upon it. When a muscle, for in stance, is called into frequent use, its fibres increase in thickness and become capable of exerting a greater force. It is only on condition of continual exercise that the muscular system can acquire strength, firmness, and endurance. The arm of ; the blacksmith, who exercises daily at the until, is firm and energetic. It is in vain to nourish the ; body with most luxurious food. Sickness will.bc produced not health, weakness not strength, unless there goes with it powerful action, continual emir. cisc. Thus it is with the brain, the organ of the mind. The brain, being an organised part, is sub ject, as far as regards exercise, to the same laws as 1 the other organs of the body. If it be duly exer cised the mind will acquire readiness and strength. Mere desultory and miscellaneous reading, such as novels, romances and other trash, is more apt to be pernicious than useful. It is morn likely to en. era ate than strengthen the mind. It must be sill. died to attain strength of mind. The intellect can only become powerful and vigorous on condition' of frequent thought and meditation. The mind thus disciplined grasps, with firm and tenacious hold, any new subject presented to it, which is, in deed, the only true test of a sound education.— Such a mind is able to make ui a solid judgment, to decide with promptness and to act with energy. Since, then,the cultivation of the mind is the thing most desirable and not the mere treasuring up of facts in the memory, the question, what arc the , means best adopted to develop and invigorate the mental activities 1 naturally suggests itself. In ' answer to this, I remark, that the studies most to be relied upon in an academiweducation arc Mathe matics and Metaphysics. These are calculated to give strength and vigor to the mind by accustom ing it to dwell for a long time on one subject, to grasp and retain a mere abstraction. They pro duce habits of accurate thinking and rapid educa tion, habits invaluable to a man of any business or profession. If a knowledge of these be at all desi rable, it can only be acquired by hard study and perseverance. hence their efficacy in the cultiva tion and strengthening of the mind. The study of languages, too, deserves our noticc,espccially that of ancient languages, the perfection of which arc in every respect unrivalled. By studying a language we enrich our own mind; for, every word entbo- dies a thought, and every thought received in our. selves is like u spark, that kindles a new flame. It may, however, be studied to exercise our think ing, which , indeed, is the chief object of its study in our colleges; as, there is, perhaps no science that will teach us better to think correctly, and logically. For Grammar contains the categories of thinking, it is full of rules and laws, all of which arc those of reason. Studying grammar we study the logic of understanding in its simplest form."— lii translating, there must ben close application ot the mind, its energies must be called into action, and then it acquires strength and the power of concentrating itself upon any soh', et. The natu ral sciences, though nut so well calculated to cul tivate the mind, are indispensable to a thorough education. A knowledge of them ts, indeed, of far more utility, in a practical point of view, than that of either :Netaphysics or Languages. lint, as the cultivation of the mind is the foundation of a sound education, these studies, together with that of Ma thematics, are requisite to the laying or this foun dation. Parents who wish their sons to become in. tellectual and strong,.minded men, will most likely realize their wish by rutting them to the study of Languages and Mathematics. When the mind is once properly cultivated and disciplined, knowledge is easily and rapidly acquired. Rooks of the most profonnd authors may there be re,d with pleasure and satisfaction.

The ob ject is to form a Gaping. Corps, to be in attendance at the Church door on each Sabbath before the commencement of Divine of divine service, to stare at the females as they enter, and make delicate and gentlemanly remarks on their persona and dress, All who wish to enlist in the above corps will ap. pear at the various church doors next Sabbath morning where they will be duly inspected, and their names, personal appearance, &c. reels. tercd in a. book kept for that purpose, and published in a newspaper. To prevent a general rush, it will be well to state that none wilt be et - dieted who pos sesses more than ordinary intellectual capacities.— Exchange paper. Mr. Editor :-1 clip the above from the Phila delphia North American of this day, and bandit to you for publication, thinking that probably Colum bia can furnish a large delegation if not the full number required for the Coping Corps. I feel. quite confident that out of those who crowd the yes. tibule, and form in line, facing inwards, so beauti fully, on the pavement of the Methodist Church every Sabbath evening one hundred and seventy five at least may be found, who will not he rejected if the closing qualification of the advertisement is strictly adhered to. Seriously, dear sir, Ido hope that those possessing intellectual capacities suffi- cleat to entitle them to the respect of their friends, will desist from this most abominable practice.— From those who do not claim this merit it is use less to expect better conduct. A. LADY. HYDRAULIC TELEGRAPII.—We lately inspected a new species of telegraph, produced from the action of water, patented by Mr. Jowett, which appears to us very simple-and ingenious, and is likely to ex cite some attention, both from it its own merits and from the interest which is taken in this means of communication at present. The idea of using wa ter as a medium by which to communicate from place to place arose from its well-known incom. pressibility, and we find Mr. Jowett quoting, in his prospectus, from Dr. Lardner, the following pas ; sage, which conveys the leading feature of his in vention :—Liring Age. A pressure excited on the liquid at one end of the tube will be communicated to any surface in contact with the liquid at the other end, whether the tube between the two extremities be straight, curved or angular, or whether it pass upwards, downwards, or in an oblique or horizontal direction. it may be carried through the walls of a building, through the course of a river, under,over, or around any obstruction or impediment, or, in fact, accord ing to any course or direction whatsoever. If a tube, filled with water, extended from London to York, a pressure excited on the liquid at the ex- tremity in London would be instantaneously trans mitted to the extremity at York." There is per. h a ps, n limit to this doctrine, where curves and un- I data lions are to be overcome, and also from the cu. lICSIVO power of the particles of water to that I , with which they are in contact. The model row exhibiting consists of a small tube with a piston and indicator at each end. An upright plate con tains the letters of the alphabet, the first letter be ing at the top of the plate at one station, and at the bottom of the plate at the other. As the one pis ton descends, the other, from the pressure of the water, ascends in exact proportion, each indicator pointing to the same letter. In the model, as we have stated, the plates containing the letters are placed upright; but it will be easily seen that a horizontal dial can also ht. used, by means of a rack upon the piston and toothed pinion to guide the indicating hand. This dial may contain two or more circles, into which contracted sentences on , any number of sobjects can be inserted, the indi cator being shortened so as to meet each circle. It' it were wanted to communicate any intelligence upon railways, as an example suppose the contract ed sentences relating to this subject were in the in ner circle, the first intimation would be to shorten the indicator, so that its point would exactly touch the words which are to be communicated. If a line of pipes were laid down from any given dis , lance, each intermediate station would he commit. nicated by means of branch pipes. To each piston a bell is attached, and the first motion would sound this, putting every one on the qui rice. If the , communication were intended for the first station, the bell would strike one, and so on for the others. Withouflpassing any atrong opinion as to the incr. its of this ins ntion, we must say that its ex extreme simplicity struck us as an advantage of great importance. The difficulties which may at first sight strike the observer, such as getting over heights above the level of the stations, are what upon consideration it will be seen can be got over by local appliances. 'Perhaps the most serious would arise from the fact that the pipes will re quire to be placed under ground so far as to keep them from atmospheric influence, for in the event of any breakage taking place, it would be difficult indeed to tell the precise locality of the accident. 111 the case of wires as used at present, any dam. age they may sustain is easily found out, and can be as easily remedied; but in the case of under. ground pipes filled with water, unless indeed, this agent be in sufficient body to force itself to the sur face, we do not see how an accident can occur without causing conch labor and cost. The iaven• for claims fur his plan over the present electric tel egraph greater economy in construction to the ex tent of two•thirds, no expense whatever after the first outlay, and the impossibility of any physical impediment interfering with its working. The plan, whether generally adopted or not, is certainly well worthy of attention, and no one can examine the model without bring struck with the principle which it so beautifully illustrates.—/'ost. I=l Psetsts:g Mrt.svon.—Thc adage is a true one, that "man proposes and God disposes," as thu fol lowing fact will show King Louis Philippe, (that was) under the pretence of ill-health, gave out his intention some time ago of going to Pan the corn. ing spring. The voyage tens to lead to two ends. To leave, during his absence, the provisional regen cy to the Due de Nemours, not to accustom hint to the management of State affairs, but to give him an Lnteeedent as a tole. " Toeu at my death," thought the King, " the regency will be allowed to ht:n naturally." And Louis Philippe was to con duct the young Duchess de Montpeosier to Mad rid, to he confined. The child being then Spanish born, no obstacle could have been thrown against it inheriting the Spanish throne. And this was the bum total of the patriotism of the Citizen King, sacrificing the interest of his country to the well. being ul his family. his insatiable ambition lee- eller! him lew, and—sic 1101118 ii glwia mundi, bat let him crime umnng us, ;Ind he will be a CITIZEN SovritrlG, again.

The Prince Royal of Monaco being in the Toil !cries, and in gloomy mood, was asked by a lady the cause of his prc.occupation. "My father and I," replied the Prince," are in a painful predica ment. Oar subjects must be given a constitution similar to that of France." " What hinders your father and you from gising it to them 1" "Oh, no thing. It is the easiest thing to give them a multi tution,liut only think, if there must be in Monaco a Chamber of Deputies, a reigning king, ministers, and officers—every 0110 will be busy, whilst I will remain alone to male the roam of the people ?" The lady, meeting the Prince a few days alter, said to him:—" Well. Prince, I would advise you and your father to give a constitution to your people otherwise they will lase one, and then you would not be the whole mass of the people, but a cipher, which position would be a base one indeed." "Be tween the coke of the people and divine right one may well hesitate," said the Prince. Between the voice and the wif/ of the people, ething Louis Phillippe did not hesitate, and you will be wise to take warning, for truly nor populi is ear del.— ..The people ! the people!" thought the Prince, their will is a mighty engine !" The Victims, of the Sanderbund.—A short lime ago a well dres sed man put up at a hotel of a small frontier town. Rumor becomes at once busy that he is the son of General Sonnomburg, his costume, manners, and conversation confirm this opinion. Immediately the priests, mayors and notaries pay him a visit; lie expresses to them his sympathy for the Sonderbond. "I am going to Paris," said ha, "I will see then the King and Guizot, and at the hood of 200,000 French I return to overthrow the radicals; only, am I have been disposed by the Bernesc, and as the propertTof my father is under sequestration, I am in want of money."

ALPHONSE 'DE LAMARTINEL- ,— The ladViCea by the Caledonia make this statesman-poet the life and soul of the great movement by which France promises to be made a Repnblic, in the most liberal sense. A correspondent of the New York Her ald says that Lamartine is fifty-five years old; but we suspect he is at least ten years older. One authority says he was born on the 21st October, 1780, at Macon, on the Seine—which would make him nearly sixty-eight. The first recollection he had of his father was that of a prisoner during the French Revolution. Lamartine has been a hard student, and has travelled considerably—having been absent on a tour through the Iloly Land thir teen months. He travelled in great state and with much splendor. His literary compositions have made him an enduring fume, and his last work on the Girondins," has acquired an immense popu larity and circulation in this country. He has oc cupied several diplomatic positions, atid has been for many years a liberal member of the Chamber I of Deputies. As a parliamentarian he occupies a very high position. Nobody doubts his integrity—the purity of his motives—the generosity of his soul—not withstanding many believe he is more a transcen dentalist than a statesman. Although a man of . immense wealth, his whole heart is with the pee pl.. Ilk speeches in the Chamber, of which he has been a member for years, have always been on the democratic side; and it is recorded of him that he spoke in a drenching rain for several hours at one of those great assemblages which led to this powerful revolution, of which he is now claimed to be the head. Being a poet, his imagination is lively and happy: he lies a capacious and reten tive memory: a manner never disconcerted by in terruption: a perfect self•possession: a rare felicity in the expression of hie ideas: a power of pointed reply : abundance of imagery : a fine voice, and j an elegant and rather aristocratic bearing—noble gestures—tall person—blue eyes—prominent fore head, &c. All these are striking advantages to a speaker, and especially to a lender in such a revo. lution as the present, and of such a people as the French. A recent French writer, who does not like La. marline's politico, after a harsh criticism of his public acts, says : •' By instinct or sentiment, be is generous, charitable, devoted to the people, ready at all times to do whatever is useful, elevated and rational; independent and courageous in his opin. ions, sometimes on the border of being a radical. He cannot hate liberty; for his is a noble soul." His speeches in the French Chamber on free trade, in favor of the freedom of the press, against the death punishment, and for extended suffrage, are pronounced to he master efforts by thoseswelio have read them. • It seems to us that this is the picture of a great statesman—a genuine republican—a high.souled and disinterested patriot. France has many, very many, great minds in her cabinet of intellectual jewels; but none of them outshines the lofty intel. feet and intrepid integrity of Alphonse de Lamar_ tine. These are the men that made her Free.— May they keep her so :—Pennsylvanian. AT ArCUSTA, MAINE, When Dr. Coolidge wan naked if he had any thing to say why sentence of death should not Ire pronounced upon him for the murder of which he had bccn committed, he re. plied "The verdict is against an innocent man. I I thank God there is a court higher than this—a tribunal before which we must all appear, where witnesses cannot swear falsely. I had much ra ther be in my own situation than in the situation of him who may be now within the sound of city voice. I shall leave after me something in writing which will show the public where the guilt is. I ' bid, both my friends, and my enemies, an affection. ate farewell. I tun ready for mylsentence." Mr. Evans now rose and requested the court to suspend sentence until lie could have time to in ' quire into the nature of some newly discovered tes timony, which might place a different aspect upon the terrible tragedy. The court granted this 41. dulgence, and adjourned till the next morning, at which time sentence was pronounced upon the prisoner, as the Lvidence discovered would not pro ' heady have changed the verdict. The great multitude attending the trial caused a great scramble for seats, especially for those near ; the witness' stand, where the proceedings could be heard and understood. When the doors of the house were opened, the multitude would rush up the aisles at full speed, with lurid yells, some with hats off and coats streaming behind to secure their seats—a most disgraceful scene on such an occa sion. There was also some scuffling, ton, we be lieve, among the ladies (7) in the galleries to se cure the best seats. GRAVITATION OF TIM Ei.t:crarcFl.utn.—Mr. Lake, of the Royal Laboratory, Portsmouth, has commit• nica fed to the lancet the singular experiment, which appears to show that the electric agent is really fluid; and that when collected so us not to evert its powers of attraction and repulsion, it o beys the laws of gravitation like carbonic acid and other gases, The electric fluid was received in a Leyden jar, insulated on a glass plate. At the lower part of the jar was a crack on the side, of a star-like form, and from around this the metalic coating was removed. On charging the jar, it was observed that the electric fluid soon began to flow out in a stream from the lower opening; and, on continuing the working of the machine, it flowed over the lips of the jar, descending in a faint luini. nnus conical stream, (visible only in the dark,) un til it reached the level of the outside coating, over which it became gradually diffused, forming, as it were, a frill, or collar. When the jar was a little inclinea on one side, there was a perceptible differ ence in the time of its escape over the higher and lower part of the lip, front the latter part of which it began to flow first. On discontinuing the work ing of the machinc,thefluid first ceased to flow at the lip of tie jar, and then at the lower aperture. On re newing the operation, it firstre.nppeared at the lower aperture, and afterwards at the mouth. This very ' ingenious experiment appears toestahlishe the fact, • that the electric fluid is material, and is influenced, under certain circumstances, by the laws of gravi tation. Mr. Lake proposes for it the name of py ' rogen; but this is inconvenient, because it is ;area ' dy applied to certain chemical products.—Medical Go zeite. I== DAGUERREOTYPE DiSCOVERT..-1t is well known that the edge of the sharpest and most polished lan cet, looks as blunt as the back of a case knife, and as jagged as a saw, in viewing it through a mi croscope. The finest paintinolius viewed becomes rough and uneven, and is entirely destitute of beauty of coloring or outline. It is not so with the photographic art. A professional gentleman of this city, a few days since, applied a microscope to a. daguerreotype miniature, and to his surprise it be came a life like "bust" or cost, with the natural col oring of the hair, the eyes, and the dress, with the natural expression of countenance. The bust will appear as of plaster, of granite, or of Parian marble, according. to the purity of the glass set over the pic ture. To test this discovery, take a microscope— s watch-maker's eye glass for instance—apply it to the eye, and in a proper light, range it at the true focal distance from the picture, and you have a view that is truly wonderful. It may be used to detect any imperfections of the picture not perceptible to the naked eye. Some one at the State House the other day, har ing very warmly expressed himself in respect to the numerous accidents on railroads in this coun try, caused by the walking of persons on the track, and remarking that same very stringent provision ought tribe made against the practice—that in Eng land the penalty for walking upon the railroad track was 110---a wag standing by, quietly re marked—' Pooh! is that all? the penalty in this country is drath r ---- Mr. Allen, of the United States Senate, uttered For the Columbia Spy. in debate, a few slays since, what he called a great I BINGHAM'S LINE AHEAD AGAIN !—lt will be seen truth, and he rightly so designated it.

A hundred thousand bayonets are impotent before the sacred hymn of liberty chauuted by the unarmed people. This is the great truth of the age; more important than all the results of steam and electricity, great as they were. This truth was by far the moat important discovery of the times." The New York Express says of Bennet the crick eter, who went out in the Cambria devo tion to cricket partakes in its intensity, of the ro mantic, if not, indeed, of the marvellous and mirac ulous. He has been known to get up in the night, awake, and practice; and to get up, too, in the night, asleep, and take a spell at bowling, with any convenient, or inconvenient missile, he might find at hand; and the habitue of Hoboken may have of ten seen him putting up and knocking down his own stumps, in the hollow below the entrance to the Elysian Fields, all alone with his bat. He has gone to England, partly on a business errand, and partly (says a Sunday paper N to finish his education by a little bat practice.
