Many of these deecriptions conveyed but a partial and inaccurate idea of the Telegraph as it really is, and some of them have led to posi ‘That the curious and scien- tifie may have a just conception of this admirable and astounding triumph of art, we have collected facts from sources alone to be relied on, and pre- pared the following statement:— —__ i The generator of the galvanic fluid, consists of 50 glass tumblers of the size in common use, in each of which is a zinc hollow cylinder reaching from the top to the bottom of the glass, and almost filling it up. From the top of the zinc cylinder projects an horizontal arm of the same metal, ex- tending two inches beyond, to which is soldered platinum foil, 34 inches long and half an inch wide, and hangs vertically from the end of the arm. In the hellow of the zinc cylinder is placed a small porous cup 3 inches long ‘and 1f inch in diameter. The glass tumbler is then filled with dilute sulphur- ic acid, and then the small cup filled with pure ni- tric acid. Being thus prepared, the platinum of one glass is put into the small porous cup of the other, and so on through the whole series. The last glass at one _end of the row has its platiaum soldered to a strip of copper, which terminates in a cup of mercury in the platform upon which the pomes stand, Atthe other end, the projecting arm as also a copper strip soldered to it, and terminates inacup of mercury in the same manner asthe otherend. These twoends constitute the negative and positive poles of the battery, which is at Wash- ington. ‘rom one of these cups, of mercury proces a copper wire, of the size of common bell wire, ex- tending to Baltimore, upon poles 25 feet high and 225 feet apart. Here it entera the ‘Telegraph office and passes around first one prong ot a bar of iron, bent in the form of a horse shoe, and from that around the other’prong, and then the wire returas to Washington upon the same poles as the other. At Washington the return wire is soldered to a lim flatteued slip of brass, the one end of which is fastened upon a pedestal, andthe other end, with an ivory button upon it, stands over a brass plate of the size of a five cent piece, without touching it. To the under side of the brass plate is soldered a wire, which extends to the other pole of the bat- tery. The battery being now ieady for action, you have but to place your finger upon the key and press it until it touches the brass plate below, and instantly the galvanic fluid flies its 80 miles. Take off the pressure of your finger, and instantly the fluid has ceased to flow : We have alluded te the bar of iron bent in the form of a horae shoe at Baltimore, around which the main wires are coiled, It is perhaps not gene- rally known thet if a bar of eoft iron 1 encircled with copper wire weund with some insulating sub- stance like bonnet wire, and a current of galvanic fluid passed through the wires thus surrounding the iren, it becomes instantly a magnet. If the current. is made to cease, that instant the magnetism of the iron is gone. If over the ends of the two prongs of the bar of iron, where it pro- jects beyond the coils of wire around it, a sinall flattened straight bar of similar soft iron is placed, being hung upon one end of a lever, and the gever supported delicately upon pivots, so as to rise and fall—it is clear that whenever the bent iron is made @ magnet, the iron directly over it, upon the lever, will be attracted down with considerable force. The lever recedes when the magnetism is destroyed by meaus of a spring. On the other end of this lever are three steel points pointing upwards, and directly over them isa steel roller with grooves turned in it, corresponding to the three points, so that when they strike the roller by the power of the magnet, each of them fali into its own groove. Between the three points und the steel roller, the paper passes, at a0 unitorm rate, being drawn along yy, two roliers,conuected with the clock work, which is driven by a weight. The paper is in rolls ldinches in diameter and 14 inches wide, forming a ribbon of a continuous length. This roll is placed upon a spool which turns easily uponits axis in front of the pen, as the paper is drawn off by the movement of the clock werk. The alphabet is as follows :— A B c D E F GJ H Hee et a Oe OE oe Bee ae MNT IEE Mi Make ok RE e000 ca eed Saar ies nits 1 2 8 4 6 ipa [ti ann lame: sana st We have now the battery and key at Washington. The wires from Washington to Baltimore, and the magnet and writing appatatus at Baltimore. At every touch of the key at Washington upon the plate below, however rapid the fluid passes and evases to pass to Baltimore and buck. At every ofthe fluid, the pen, by the attraction of the iron to the ends of magnet, is brought up against the with such force as to indent it, and in- tantly rec jeé—vo that the paper moving over the pen feceives & succession of dots, and an intermediate spuce. By holding the key down a little longer, a line is marked By this means, at the option of the oper- ator at Washington, dots, spaces, and lines of mf combi. nation are made upon the paper in Baltimore with perfect ease. At Washington the operator desires to inform his correspondent at Baltimore that ‘ The Senate is in -xecu- Sen. Ex. Sess. With the akes first eight rapid touches upon the brass which at Baltimore notifies the attendant that a ge is avout to be sent, by the ringing of a bell, which motion is produced in the same wey as that for moving the pen.

Afterthesentence is completed, the same rapid succession of 8 dots are made to signify that it is finished. The clock work whieh moves the paper is started by the writer at Washington, by his removing, through the agency of alever moved by the magnet, a break falling upen & smooth roller on the little fy of the cloek train— and is Stopped after the end of the mess: has run out 8 from the pen, io Ke) break’ ing upon the roller through the action of the clock work itself. We have now described how mes may be sent from Washington to Baltimore, and it be asked, how is an answer returned? Imagine the same machinery, as has now been described, reversed, with the exception that there is no battery in Baltimore, and the whole is com. plete for sending and receiving communications, cither way. re We hat id that from one of the poles ef the battery in Wash ma wire extends to Baltimore, and there en- circling the iron bar, returns to Washington. The re turn wire is not absolutely nee rer? From the first commencement of the working of the Telegraph at Baltimore, but one of the wires upon the aoe has been used, The wire, instead of goin, Baek to ‘ashington after it leaves the coils, deecenda to the ground and is soldered to a copper plate buried in the ‘arth in Baltimore. At Washington, a copper plate of the same dimensions is buried in the cellar A the Capitol, from which a wire ken and soldered tothe key, So that the fluid travels upon one wire from Washingion to Baltimore, and returns to Washington through the earth ‘as its conductor. Prof. Morse has his alphabet so arranged upon a square board, that by drawing a slide, one letter is substituted for another, thus chenging throughout the common alphabet. By this means a merchant in New York may write to his correspondent in Philadelphi ‘ithout tl ibility of ite being intelligible to any one except individual to whom it is addressed. Not oven the writer upon the in- atrument in New York or the attendant in Philadelphis can decipher it. With perfect ease the key can be changed every day, or atevery 10 words of the correspondence, This mode of secret correspondence is more suro and safe than that of ordinary eiphers used for that purpo Our limita will not permit us to go into a further descrip- tion of other plans which Prof. M has for condensing much in a little, when long communications are sent. This beautiful and wonderful invention was made by Prof. Morse in 1832, five years before any thingof the kind was known in Europe, The Electric Telegraph now used in England, and invented by Prof. Wheatstone, does not record its communications. The attendant is obliged to watch the movement of sevéral magnetic needies, upon whieh are the letters of the alphabet, and ‘aa they appear in sight to note them dewn. If one should ‘axcape his eye, it is lost and cannot be recalled.

Cuarteston, June 12, 1844, Atrocious Murder in the City—Great Excitement— Serious Suspicion— To wh2t are we coming? Dear Sin,— Our usually quiet city is full of excitement, and, at this moment East Buy is thronged with citizens, all with mouths wide open, and staring eyes, each one asking questions, and none answering, except to repeat every kind of rumor which may be afloat. This morning the store of George Lyon, a jeweller on East Bay, next door to the French coffee house, remained closed long after othershops were opened. About 9 o’clock, some gentlemen, who are ac- quainted with Mr. Lyon’s habits and domestic ar- rangements, went to the store, and on pressing against the dvor, found it unfastened, They went in, and Shae vite the show cases in some con- fusion, became alarmed, and continued their exa- mination. ‘S'wo or three went up into Mr L.’s sleeping room, and the first exclamation trom the one who eutered first, was ‘Great God what a a spectacle; he is cut to pieces,” and sure enough, lying on his bed, was Mr. L., with his head nearly severed from his body, and with severs) stabs in diflerent parts of his person. He appeared to have been dead some hours. The jury of inquest are at this moment pursuing their investigations, and an immense crowd are Waiting in the streets the re- sults. The most unpleasant rumors are about in relation to certain persons, but I would not feel authorized to name fies without more authentic information. (ir. Lyon’s store is said to be rifled of nearly ali its con- tents. He had a pretty large stock of jewelry, and was in the habit of keeping his funds in his own iron chest, which is also rifled. He has been known to have, at times, large sums of money, and no doubt his murderers were fully aware of his habits. He has no family, and no one slept on the premises with him. A negro woman, his cook, oc- cupied the kitchen, but she is said to be sick, and has not been out of her room for come days. The whole thing is mysterious and horrible. Oyx o’cuuck.— The Jury are still in the house. The excitement is increasing. Rumors implicating some one or more of the Mexican officers attached to the Montezuma and Guadaloupe, are rite among the crowd ; but, so far, all is doubt and uncertainty. Har Past One.—I have just left the scene ot the excitement. The Jury is still engaged, and the crowd is increasing. ‘The Captain of the City Guards, with some of his subordinates and several constables, have just gone off in haste from Lyon’s house. New rumors are afloat. _ , Two o’cLocx.—The mail is closing—nothing fur- ther has been discovered. ASHLEY. Further Particulars of the Murder—Political Af: JSairs, &c. Cnaruxston, June 14, 1844. Nothing further has transpired in relation,to the murder of Lyons, the jeweller. The rumors in re- lation to the Mexican officer and the consequent excitement has passed away. In fact the otticer against whom suspicion rested, has accounted for the suspicious circumstances in the most satisfacto- ry way. But the great question is yet to be answer- ed: who did kill Lyon? The city authorities are on the alert, and 1 understand some arrests will be made to-day, Whereupon suspicions are abroad and strange facts are developing one after another; a day or two more and no doubt some light willbe thrown upon this dark, mysterious murder. We have no news of moment. Political parties are quiet. The only noise made is by the ‘“ Native Americans,” and by those who are attempting to oppose them. The better way would be for the opposers of the cause to keep quiet, and the thing wouid die of itself—perhaps, at any rate opposition only keeps iton. Our people are beginning to leave tor the interior and the North,and our city will soon be as dull and dreary as if a plague pacientes it. SHLEY. Imvortant From Mexico.—By the Virginia An- toinette, Cupt. Delville, eight days from Tampico, we have received letters and verbal accounts,but no news pspers. Not a little excitement exists in the Northern depart- ments of Mexico, in relation to the annexation question, and all sorts of threats against the United States are made, in case the treaty is ratified. The cousequence is, that the Americans are now frequently annoyed and insulted— they never were treated with any marked ame Kevolutions,in price eurrent phrase, are dull im Mexico, no recent outbreaks having occurred ; but many of the wise heads think thutthe political air is charged with pro- nounciamentos, or in other words that the present calm in the Atlantic departments portends a revolutionary storm. Arista, a popular officer, is said to be at Monterey, with plenty of materials about him for :aising a commotion whenever a favorable opportunity offers. When he does deciare—and there are those who think the day is not far distant—it will be for a liberal federal government. Urrea is in Sonora, one of the States towards the Pacific, and the revolution egainst the Government is still going on. Report has it that Urres has been ha al torily ordered to the city of Mexico, an order which he will obey or not, as may best suit him. ‘There are six regiments of troops at Tampico, miserably fed and clothed, and ready ut any time to raise ‘a revolt. A large conducta from the interior arrived at Tampi onthe 17th ult. There were 600 mules, escorted by a atrong guard of soldiers, each mule packing $4,000—mak- ing in all the heavy sum of $2,000,000. Ot this amount it is said that $1,600,000 had been shipped by a steamer for England, and the balance had gone to Jamaica in the Eng- lish frigate Pique. Three or four of the Mier prisoners, who had escaped by digging under the walls ot Perote, had been sven in the in- terior, making the best of their way towards ‘Texas ‘The schr.

Mr. N. brought dispatches for our Government from Okina, which came overland from the Pacific. From Matamoros we have dates to the 30th ult., brought by the Equity. According to the Courier of last even ing, she reports that about 600 troopa had entered that place from different parts. They belong to what is called the Congres: These troops had been ordered 10 Mexico by Sa ina, but were unwilling to go, and con- gregated at ras, ua above stited, (The fact had created some sensation.

Arrams 1N Frrponta.—Two or three incidents of astartling character have oceurred here this week to break the usual monotony of our usually quiet community. On Tuesday @ Mr. Henry Dalrymple com mitted suicide in Stockton, by shooting himself, because his father left his property to a brether instead of himself. He was given to intemperance. On the night following, arespectable young lady of the seme town, of the ni of Todd, tie from her father’s house to follow to whom she had been engaged to be married, but ceremony had been broken oft in consequence of his being taken up for larceny, had left hia bail'and abaconded. But the most melancholy circumstance occurred in our own village to-di A dP k Mox Intyre, was instantly killed by the discharge of a gin in he hands of Mr. Nathaniel W. Sherrill, with whom he rd words in Consequence of some diffi- in from anything more then Elopement in Low Life. ‘What pity tia that regularity Like Isane Shove’s, is such a rarity. Since the days of Punch and Judy so well known for their amorous eccentricities, or the renowned ; courtship of Mr. Barney Brallaghan,who was wont | to repair “of a Saturday night at 6 o’clock in the | morning,” to the domicile of the amiable Judy Cal- | laghan, tor what purpose beside that of serenading | her—no matter—but since those well known * ucts | and monuments” it doth not appear that there is upon record any other equal to the event which we propose to relate in as few words as porsible. he parties concerned were servants in one of the | fashionable Hotels, and as it seems from the lute | development, have been upon the best of terms for the last three months. Our heroine, an accomplish- pecan teiciald was considered of elevated habits, wing Charge of the very highest department of bed making. In that she was next to attic—in her con- versation she was attic out and out; she had a taste for books—had thoroughly digested Ovid’s Art of Love, drank deep of ** high life below stairs,”—and is suspected to be engaged in a sketch of “low life above stairs.” So exquisite was her taste, that she has been known to throw boots down stairs for da- ring to show his nose em haut, exclaiming * 1 have a neuter divarshin for beggars, blackbali and var- mint.” She had an ear tor music ; could play the first part of ‘Auld Robin fray? withuut a single note skipt; and perform nearly the whole of “*Whis- tle and I'll come to ye my lad,” and “deed aad ye shan’t,” with ease and readiness. In dancing she was not a whit less au fait. She was able to get through two figures and a great part of the third in a quadrille set, and itis said was about to turn her attention to the Polka. Indeed the divine Fanny Elssler was the first who inspired her—her pas grands were the subject of her nightly dreams and daily practice—and of her faux pas she has just Sivena most edifying imitation, The hero, it may be easily supposed, must bea man of no mean pretensions, to inspire this amiable fair one with soft emotions. Such is the fact. ‘The fellow was upto everything from a needle to an anchor—couid scour the knives by day or the streets by night—could baste a roast ‘Turkey, or boust of a Jark; could put on one hat in three ditherent manners; in such a way that one would swear he was not himselt at alf, In fact, he was a devil among the girle, and of the gods in the theatres, and we ave no hesitation ia saying that he would beara comparison in anything with those famous indi- viduals—** the waiters at Long’s Hotel.” | ‘Thus it appears that our Romeo and Juliet were made for euch other, and so thought they them- selves. Which of the two first discovered the tact, remaineth in obscurity; but, for three months after- wards, it is upon record that they turned the disco- covery to the most useful and ugreeable account, until at last some intrusive and impertinent inter- meddler, perhajs a jealous rival, did maliciously and vexatiously turn informer, thereby compelling the subjects of our tate to make themselves scarce at the Astor House, to the great surprise of the man servants, the maid servants, the cattle and the stranger within the gates, whence they have, a8 some say, gone to sujourn in a far country, but, according to others, repaired to ** Gretna Green.” As far as the frail fair one 1s concerned, we have NO inclination to make her the subject otany harsh remarks, or make her case any other tha what it ot course, is an interesting one. but of him, a re- gular scamp—a married nan, who has left a wife and family from whom he had the rascality to swindle the little amount she had saved by her in- dustry—and that to spend it on an illicit connexion of this sort, we record our detestation, and we trust that he may find himself in another big house shortly, where they will take as good care of him as he now does of the mistaken und giddy girl he has taken under his protection. _ Lone Istanp Rairoan>—Tue Tunnen.—The inhabitanis of thus good city of Gotham are certain- ly, im one respec: at least, ‘ sui generis”—I reter to their profound indifference as to what is going on in their immediate vicinity.

Ford and Nathaniel W, Low, an ioneer on the corner of Main and Walnut streets. It appears from evidence elicited in an examination yesterday, before Justice Wetmoi Low, by apromise of marriage, succeeded in « the only child of Mr. k. Ford, und persuaded her to elope from her father’s heuse—that he sent her to New Orleans Monda: her at 8t. Genevieve, his return from New Ori ‘ and on Thuraday arrived alone in thie city. The father learned the facts, of her being in Low’s company, and her stopping 28 abeve mentioned, from the steward of the hoat, and immediately svt forth in search of her seducer, Fem the period ot her leaving home up to the time of the fatal occurrence, he had not ceased to search for her, had employed others to ald him, and in a frenzied state conti- nally raved about bis daughter. He suspected Low, and hal once before ascosted him, Low, in the street, upon which occasion Low produced a letter which he said he had received frem her, stating that she had left the city — the father anatched the letter from him and they paried His suspicions were confirmed from the later evidence of the steward, and it drove him to a state of madness. In this excited state, he yesterday, in company with a fiend, visited the office of Mr. Low, and requested a private in- terview, Mr. Low complied ; ondon the parties adjonrn- ing to his lodging apartment, Ford enquired where his daughter was ow answered, “ that if he came on that business, he had better clear out.” Ford then remarked, that he (Low) had promised to marry her, and by thet promised had succeeded in ruining her—that she was en ciente, ond he wished to know if he intended to falfil hie promise? The witness stated that Low told the father to “ge to hell.” He, the witness, on hearing angry words commence betwoen them, stepped towards the door—and when he turned round, observed Ford standing up with a pistol in hia hand. Ford repeated the question, “Will you marry my danghter ” Lowmgain told him to ‘go to hell,” and the exasperated father fired the pistol. Low was seated at the time he received the wound. The ball tered nearly in the centre ofthe forehead making a ghastly, and it is believed, a fatal wound. Mr. Ford mae no effort to escape, but on contrary yielded himself up to the person who accompanied him, and desired to be condu ed to the Recorder's office.
