For the test ten days depre- ati ys upon the lives and preperty of our citizens, eta ; yevelatious, implicating parties of high po- sition in their prepetration, end s absequent secret executions by the Vigilance Committee, have kept the public mind ina state of constant irritation. The heppy delesion of the enjoyment of an uninter- cupted woral calm after the days of violence and retribution in the latter part ef July has altogether passed awey, and it is now all but certain that the atter anerehy under which the fifty thousand in- habitants of this region are compelled to live, owing to the sins of omission of the last Congress, will continue to result in occasional conflicts be ‘tween the largely agglomerated criminel elements | div of a disci of our social body, and those that, for the sake of self preservation, must from time to time by forme ‘Seoure the respect of their rights of both person amd property. But to the record of the events of the last two weeks. On the evening of the 3d inst. Joho Shear, ene of the pioneer miners of this region, was called @ut of his boarding house by two indtviduals, the features of whom were not recegnized by his land- lord. He was heard to engage in earnest conver- gation with his visitors in front of the building, on erry street, in West Denver. After a while he was geen walking off in company with the same persons, fm the direction of the Platte river. Harly next morning his body was found in the river bottom, about one mile and a half above town, suspended by the neck from a branch of a cottonwood of tree. Pinned to his vest was a slip paper on which the announcement was written that he had hecn executed tor having been fora tong while at the head of an organized band ef horse thieves, highway robbers and assassins. Great was the surprise produced by the disco- very of Shear’s body. He had been known to many, 2nd, altuough he was averse to hard work and rather unscrupulous in some of his business Wansactions, but few suspected him cf being a Professional criminal. It now appears, however, that she victim of the Regulators had met but a well deserved John Shear, indeed, came here in April, 1859, afugitive from justice. He had Bed from the town of Newaggo, in the State of Michigan, where he had been arraigned on the @harges of seduction, bigamy and forgery. Short- ly after Lis arrival in this country he was arrested and tried for theft. Subsequently he was often ac- @used of participation in horse and cattle stealings, Dut want of evidence and the abseace of all laws protected him from punishment. Recently, however, a horse thief, caught in | ante delicto, made some disclosures, which | ly enadl » had taken’ the vind @ation of ju n nds to fasten his guilt | jon him, and hene i 1 of his career.

The parties then separated, each pursuing his way rejoicing. On the following morning Lincoln was aroused from his slambers by the strains of a brass baud that was playing a parting tune in honor of Doug- las, who stupped at the same house. Lincoln, oa looking out, was greeted with three tremendous cheers tor the Littlke Giant, and whom did he per- ceive in the crowd, most prominent in shonting and i his het in gloriileation of his opponent? ery son of the Emerald Isle that had eted his quarter.

Observing im prominent journals ofthe day recurring commentaries upon the African slave trade, and the con- nection of the Unitea States equadron therewith, and judge that these are influenced by correspondence from the coast, suggeet to me the probability that many of the Henato’s readers would be glad to have their im- pressions of an offposite existence of facts confirmed; and I address myself the more willingly to their supposed wishes, from a confidence that the Marion’s over two years continual investigations into the legal and tllegal Proceedings on the west coast of Africa enable me to present as nearly the ‘acta in connection with thia trade—especially its appliances on the soast—as is possi- bie for an uninitiated to obtain, as wellas a refatation to those opprobrions statements usually characterizing the articles of those writing upon such matters in their con nection with the United States African squadron. And here permit me to express surprise thatithe press ere s0 inclined to publieh the uninformed commaunica- tions that a certain ciase of ambitious penay a- liners are constantly scribbling, without requiring far- ther evidence of the correctness of such statements— that frequently are personally offensive to many of their readers—than an»nymceus signatures appended to this every-word a-fact- correspondence. I know of eeveral communications that were dated from the weat coast of Africa within the month the writer arrived, filied with “facts” attainable by the initiated alone; and even those of a later date, pretending to get information from reliable eourcee, putting thom- selves before the public as tho initiated, bat gene rally etuffed by their informers with a weil-digested purpose that the “ true facta’? shat! appear in the papere It will be readily acknowledged that all statements re- ceived by those inquiring into eubjects relating to the slave trade should be by them, and from thom, by the pspere, taken cum grano; it being an incredulous suppo- eition that it ig a subject opon which those interested are likely to be communicative, and thore on the coast who are free from the taint are like exceptions which prove the rule. As neceesary to a partial understanding of the opera. tions of slavers on the coast of Africa, it requires a knowledge of the geographical limite of the “ ground,” with its localities, as now admitted. ‘The late exceptional, but now abandoned, intention of the King of Dabomy to reopen the traffic ia his dom'nions is the only evidence, for some years past, of an attempt being made to run off cargoes from the “ Bight;” iadeed, I believe the trafflc im those waters to Lave entirely ceased: it certainly has to the westward of Cape 8:. Pauls, which, in trce geographical terms, is the west- ward point of the “ Bight,” though it is an accustomed error to class al} that line of coast to Cape Palmas as io- cluded in that term; but, with the knowledge that Silli Ooffeo, near Cape St. Paulie, and a few places along the “Bight,” until reaching Lagos, which would inelade Whydah, are still available for cargoes to be arranged for, and run from, a watchful guard is continued upon ite waters by stationed American and Eaglish war craisers, ‘The trade, therefore, is at present confined within the coast line i'mits of Mayumba north, sad Babia Foods south, embracing a cruise distance of 270 miles, The im. portance of other intermediate stations within this limit are comparatively trifling to that of Panta de Lenba, in Oopgo river, which is, unquestionably, the heart of the traffic; the pulsation, quick or slow, may be traced to the state of things there bearing on this trailic, and naturally, the principal slave statious oluster ncar this river, toeir localities depending much upon the facility of iniaad communication with she Congo. Along this range of ‘‘elave ground,” or on any other part of the coast where the traffic has been, or may be carried on, it would be impoasibie to give correct distan>se between barracoons, or even within the range of probabili- ty, as they are not established with regularity. Poiats, which at one time are favorable for shipment of cargoos, may be sonn entirely deserted, as, for some cause, the facilities may be decreased or interfered with. Generally, three or four stations along the coast are the favorites during ove season, and are changed again for others near by, which bave become unused aud unsuspected. Nor ig it desirable that there should be many pointe for sbip- ment, and near iegether, as it would euable our sqaud- rom to eflect an easy blockade. The unavatlableness for an ‘opening’? for this trade along parte of tne coast unused to its practices ren. dere {is cops ieration impra ticable. Where geographica obstructions do not interfere, the steady though slow advance of legalized purtu't has put into disuse tue traffic, which would require much time and patient desi- ing with the suspicions m@tive cnieftains to agaia renew and that there is considerable legal trade carried on is demonstraved by tbe various American, Eaglish, French, Dutch, Danish sod other factories ending aloog the west couat from El Miva to Bevguela, engaged ia quite an extensive trade with the interior, the products of whieh they ehip io large quantities to their respective countries.

At all events, it wonid bave been a tight equeeze bad such a temptation occarred to them when reduced, om several occasions, to ‘salt horse and hard tack,’ and that in devilieh pinching quantities.

Whether in View of the great speed which has been attained In tho- tranemission of messages by mears of this instrument i. will be accepted by the owners of the Morse patent re- mains to be seen. Bradley's improved telegraph apparatus exabraces ali the cements of the Moree instrument, together with in~ genious and simple devices fir transmitting and record- ing with great rapidity by means of type and composing. aticks, operators who read by e2und having nothing new: to learn in practising their usual mode wit thie new in- strument. Messages, when prepared for transmission. can be communicated and legibly recorded at tne rate of from eight to twelve thousand words per hour. On a. short circuit fifteen thousand have been attained. From» one thougand to two thousand five hundred is good work on either the Morse or the printing iustruments now in use, which shows large gain in favor of thet of whiclr we are writing. The preparation of the messages is performed by set- ting them up in type, and when thus set the types sade composing sticks coutalning tL m are passed through the- inetrument, where they meet with such appliances av- cause the opening and closiag of the cireult in. such order an to produce the record at the receiving office in the moet regular apd mechanically accurate manner. Tho: record is made on sheets of paper with ink im reguiar lines and pages, and as compact ax closely written manu- script. ‘The inventor has also conceived and constructed o. | machine for making the type, by which d0 prodecesin p.. | finished state from five to ten thoueand in an boar, each represent the dots and times of the common tolegrapn let- ters, with the Roman letters stamped on the front, thut~ epabiing any ove to set and distribute them even shoukt be not be familiar with the telegraph letters.

By these meane any two correspondente will be able 40 com-- municate with the greatest secrecy by simply changing. the denomination of the types and forming 5 cipher of’ | their own, It may be well to state that the re. cording instrument can be constructed with four- cylinders, on which three copies can bo taken, stopping: only one at atime, aod changing the paper ia such a ternations that the transmitting apparaive peed not be - interrupted. Having testd the instraments on tho line between: | New York and Washington to the satisfaction of super- intendent and operators, and finding their preetical operation to be equal to hie most sanguine expectations the inventor next turned his attention to the improve- ment of the receiving magnet, or relay, as it is commonly calied, for it was in this instramest that be found the limit, or rather the first interruption, in the epeed of bit» operations. The result has been the production of ar electro magnet more active, and possessing maay advap- tages in practice over those now in use, He commeacec: by discarding entirely all the old forma, and proceeding etep by step, and with aneye to the latest discovered» priveiples of the science, to construct an instrument ea- tirely new. Availing himself of the suggestions pre- fenied by the helical ring, that most powerfal of all: electro magnets, 80 commonly shown im elc~ trical exhibitions, be uses but one helix, with omiy> one-third to one baif vhe quantity of- wire com monly used, thus diminisuing in proportion the resietance- consequent upon the introdastion of retays into the hme, and at the same time producing a more sensitive and powerful magnet. The soft iron pasees through the heii and extends around in close proximity to its ovter sur- face withia the poles, in close proximity to each other om the outaide of the coll, one of which standing ia # Itne sc far to the right of the other as to admit the armatore be~ tween them, which being hung at its coatre by thim. metallic sprivg is free to move with excecdiogly rapic vibraiins, Beside the mato spring which draws the armature irom the magnet, there is ® cougier epring aci- ing in the opposite direction, making {t neseseary to. place the main spring in a higher state of tension, where. by more rapid vibrations end Irmer comtacta are secured. The helix is arranged in concentric sections, with Switches, by which avy portion of it may be thrown ou. of the circuit, no as to adapt it to long or sbori iiaes, or to strong or weak circulte In contemplating the advan- tages of th's powerful mageet, the inventor conceived the: idea of adapting it to some appliance by which the licks of the armature might be made to profuse sounde: sulficiently audiole fur practical purposes without the in- Vervention of @ local ciresit.
