/. With a view to the entertainment and in-

struction of a passing hour, we give some facts* wbidh? will* be found'inStKpdtive ft© those who are not familiar with too subject.

Telegraphic comorunicatiorf ,(* was-con-ceived in tlie"nrinds'oPscietUTfic men over a hundred years ago, but it is not until within tb/i last twenty, years .that it hiss boon brought into general usc. lii 1747 an Englishman named Dr. Watson applied thpshock emanating. the I^yileujar to metallic 'wires, and succeeded ih transmitting a specie's of signal over a distance of four miles. The object of this contrivance was to ,supplant the Semaphore, an ungainly machine used for the purposes of telegraphing war news from hilltop, to hill top, across a broad extent of countryby waving of ldiig wooden arms.

The application of electricity was made through tho medium of pith balls, a light substance, "which is very sensitive to the action of the electric currcnt. Two small balls of. tlii3. material-suspended by threads close to each other, on the transmission of electricity, immediately diverge from each other like two pendulums swinging apart. They remain apart so long as the circuit is complete, b:it when it is stopped they ilrop their original position. In tji.i§ ina:itifcr by tlitj use f? numerous pith balls and many complicated divergencies, the inventor managed, to communicate signals for a short distance, bat the use of twenty-four wires was required, ami the force of his clcctric power- was limited, so: that his plan und those of ninny other inventor? of his day fell to the ground. The operation was somewhat simplified by the experiments of the next fifty years, and bo fit theLoy- .-, den jar and friotional glass machines were brought into use, without however accomplishing .a-.ij'lhing liktv u:r approach to the (stupendous results of the present day.—

The pith ba|l telegraph was reduced to ,mich an cstout tjnfc it worked imperfectly with two wires a id on:: pendulum bail, but the electric force which w.ts to revolutionize tho world was yet to be discovered, and the invention'attracted great share of attention.

"ing entirely different from the American for that distan .system, is worthy-of notice. It was im-land 'proved ti tew years afterward by Baron de

Schilling, who constructed «t St. Pctersbnrg a machine composed of live magnetic iicedl.es. 'lhesc needles were suspended on pryots' ia suou a manner tliai, when free Cfrdtn 'magnetic in tine nee, they hung perpendicularly, but when the circuit was made, they. .Vi ere ,de ]ece-.l. to. the, right or left,-and by tho establishment of a code of signals, made to indicate ail the letters of the alphabet-.

This spccics ot" electricity was appliod in lSQOjrby ^Soemmering, to a very "complicated system embracing the inevitable twenty-four wires which it seemed impossible for early inventors to dispense with. His recording fcsti-iira jrta simply »*trpngfr£)f' Water in which the wires were immersed. Each wiro was named after a letter of the alphabot, and, when the -voitiiic current wa3 transmitted, tho wire which was charged gave off bubbles of gas which fose" to the "surface, thus indicating, one after another the letters required to spell a word. This instrument was made to answer the requirements of experimentalists for a namberbf yearC but the spirit of progress could not rest satisfied with snch meagre results, and in 1816 a Mr. Ronalds perfected the first apparatus by whiok intelligible communication" could"be established through a single wire. His method was "to resort to the old fashioned pith balls, with the aid how_cycr of additional machin,"ery._ xJBfo.:£ct xtp IciocV at eacbf-and otitis line, the minute hand of which made the circuit of a dial upon which were printed the letters of'the alphabet The clocks irere set exactly alike, and when the poin?ter iiniliieaJted the desired letter at the tikasmittin^ station, the circuit iras broken m«ing the pith at the other end of the wire to fall.

The silent, movement: of the vibrating needle was again resorted to, and in 1837, Cooke & Wheatstone's single needle apparatus was put into operation with one wire, the conducting power of the earth for a return circuit having been discovered and'made available in order to, dispense with the second wire. This is the machine now-in use in Europe—a^maehine as much inferior to the American invention under Morse's patent as the primitive efforts of fifty years ago arc to the present results. It consists, of a needle liur.g in the centre on pivot, in s\ieh a maimer that it will deflect td thecriglrt er'lcf'-under the influence of tfic magnetic currcnt and by a scries of slow and quick movement-? combined, indicate tho various letters ol the alphabet.

cinct and correct history of the action of: the Convention proper, and of the scced* ing. delegates. He spoke earnestly and ably for the Democratic party and its old organization defended Judge Douglas warmly, and declared that lie was the man for the crisis—sound, trite, able, and with power to do good. He boldly avowed his advocacy of popular sovereignty, the right of the people to rule, and against Congressional meddling and dictation, which had always heretofore been against slavery.— The Democratic party was in danger of disruption and of defeat unless people come to the rescue by sending new delegates to Baltimore. Ilis speech was well, received by the lilrge audience.. Mr. Walker defended the scceders, and advocated the new organization and the proposed Convention at (Richmond. The Advocate evidently is of the opinion that the Democracy there are against the seceders.

But one opinion is heard of the fraternization of the delegation of Louisiana with the avowed and proclaimed enemies'of the Union. No man is impudent or bold enough to defend a proceeding so directly contrary to the past history and well- understood wishes of the loyal and.devoted Unionists, of Louisiana. A re'pellant spectacle truly it is to see men calling themselves, delegates of the Democracy of Louisiana, uniting with the proclaimed and vauuled advocates .of the dissolution of the Union, and co-operating with them to degrade,, defeat, and destroy the great conservative Democratic party of the nation, at'a time too, .when their brethren of thefree States .are making matchless efforts for the overthrow' of our enemies in the approaching contest for the Presidency.

Vi'c make the follovring extracts from two leading Southern papers "Mr. Douglas has takerfhis position in a fair and open manner. |lt is unjust to him, and unfair to the host of friends who sustain him and his doctrine, that any compromise candidate shall be allowed to steal his thunder. Much as we oppose his doctrine of territorial government, we would infinitely prefer to see him elected on the honestly avowed platform of territorial sovereigntv-, rather than witness the election of a man who shall consent to go before the, people on a platform speaking one sentiment at the north and another at tho South." -*r vt

So discourseth the Iticlimond Enquirer. What a rebuke that to those who withheld their votes from Mr. Douglas after the Cincinnati platform had been reaffirmed aud readopted, and he had received a vote greater than a majority of the electoral college And what a rebuke to those presidential aspirants, who after abusing 3Ir.
