Something more wonderful than the Magnet ic Telegraph. —George and Thomas Bates had ot'tcn ezpressed a desire 10 visit the tele. | graph office. The, had heard oi this strange doings of this womlorlui machine, and had of- ; ten stood and looked at the wires stretched along from one high post to another, seeming like cobwebs ill tin* air. One da\ Georg* asked Thomas how it could be that on those wires unseen messages passing j to and fro. •* 1 don’t know how it is,” replied Thomas ; “l ather says it is by means of elec- I iricity, and iightniug is electricity, and that is j the reason news travels so quickly ay the Mag- , netic Telegraph,” One day, alter school, these hoys went into j their father’s store which was just opposite the j Telegraph oltice, and asked hun if he would he j so kind as to take them to see this wonderful ■ invention. Their lather assented, always glad to gratify his children and at once they were by the side of the agent, looking at the performence of the little instrument that noted down intelligence like a living thing. The boys asked their father to send a rues ssage to their uncle in Washington, but the lit tie machine was so busy that the agent could not gratify them for some time. Tic, tic, tic, dot, dot, click, click, click, went the little pointer, lly and by it ceased for an instant, hut just as the agent was going to put in his claim, it began again.* 1 hat is 15 lor Buffalo, said the agent, wo must wait till tne message is finished, as soon as that sentence was written, there was an AU for Auburn, and then U for Utica ; and the boys were almost out of patience, as little boys are apt to be, when their wishes are not immediately gratilied. Afier while their turn came. The agent hurried to put iu a W for Washington, and “aye,” “aye,” was the reply to let him know that his wish was attended to, and the message was sent. Returning home (he boys could talk of no thing but the wonders of the Magnetic Tele graph. “Is it not the most wonderful thing you ever heard of, father ?” said Thomas. “No,” replied his lather, *•! have heard of things more wonderful.” “ Bub father,” said George, “you never heard ot any message being sent so quickly as by this means, have you ?” “Yes, 1 have, my son.” “And receiving an answer as quickly ?” ad ded George. “Yes, much sooner, replied his father, “Are you in earnest, father V said Thomas, looking eagerly in his face. “Is it possible you know of a more wonderful way of commu nication than by Telegraph ?’ “I never was more iu earnest, my son, than I am when I say ‘yes’ to your question.’ “Well father,” said George, “do tell me what it is, and in what respect it is belter than the Telegraph. “In the first place,’said hie lather, “you do not have to wait to send your message while others are attended lo ; for your message can go with thousands of others, withe ut any inter ruption or hindrance.’ “ So that is an improvement,’ said George, for we had to wait a long time, you know,’ “And in the next place,’ continued his father ‘there is no need of wires, or electricity, or any machinery, to aid the mode of communication of which I speak : and what is more wonderful than all is the fact, that you need not even ex press the nature of your communication, as, be tore you do so, your answer may be return ed, though it is quite necessary that you truly and sincerely desire a favorable reception for your request. “Besides all this plan of communication of which I speak is superior to all others, Iroin the fact that you need not resort to any particular place to send your request. In the lonely des ert—on the trackless ocean—in the crowded city—on the mountain top—by night or by day in sickness and health, especially in trouble and affliction, the way of communication is open to all. And the applicants can never be so nu merous that the simplest desire of the feeblest child, properly presented, shall not meet with immediate attention.’ “Is there any account published of this won. derful manner of communicating your wishes !’ inquired Thomas. “Yes, there is, my son : it is to be found in the Bible.’ “ In the Bible, father!’ exclaimed both the boys. ••Certainly my sons; and if you both will get your Bibles I will tell you where to find the pas sages. “The children opened their Bibles, and found as their father directed them, the 24th verse, of the liv chapter of Isaiah, which Thomas read as follows : “AndJl shall come to pass, that before they caK,^ ry ’ r answer : and and while they are vet S]l aste’ 1 WILL HEAR.’ Nextpc. jorge found and read the oth verse of the Iviii. chapter of Isaiah. “Then slialt thou call, and the Lord will answer; thou shall cry, and he shall say, Here 1 am.’ “Now turn,” said their father, “to Daniel, 9th chapter, 20, 21, 22, 23, versos. “And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin ot my poo pie Israel, and presenting my supplication be fore the Lord my God;” “yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel,” “ being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he in. formed me, and talked with me, and said, ‘ > Daniel, lam now come tortii to give thee skill and understanding. At the beginning of thy supplication the commandment came forth, ami I am come to show thee A-c.’ _*'l ,ee > lather, from these passages,’ said j Thomas “that you refer to proycr. “And I am sure you w ilt both agree with me I that this mode of communication with heaven is more wonderful than any other, |Vr bj this means our desires can bo immediately known to our heavenly Father, an 1 w ■ receive an an swer.’— Am. Messenger abridged. The Death Pcmsiihunt.— The following is related by Sir John, Ross--we commend it to the attention of the advocates of capital punish mant: “ Among the Esquimaux, the crime of murder very rarely occurs. When it does, the* murderer’s punishment consists in being banish •d to perpetual solitude, to bo shunned by every 1 individual of his tribe ; insomuch that even the sight of him is avoided by all who ma y inadvert ently meet him. On being asked why his life is not taken in return, it was replied “ that this w ould be to make themselves equally bad ; that the taking of his life would not restore the other: and that they who should commit such an act would be equally guilty.” Zack Taylor.

FIRST PIANO IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS. During the summer following the termination of the Black Hawk War—being among the first downcast emigrants to the country then barely evacuated by the red men of the forest—Dr. A. of Baltimore, removed to what has since be come a small town near the Illinois river, by the name of I* . The doctor’s family was com posed ol thijfc young ladies and Ins wife, all of whom were performers on the piano, and one of them the possessor of the instrument in ques tion. As is usually the case in all newly settled places, when a “newcomer” makes his ap pearance, the neighbors (that were to be) had collected together for the purpose of seeing the doctor’s “plunder” unpacked, and making the acquaintance of its possessor. Dr. A.’s “household ” was stowed away in several large wagons—being first packed into plain boxes, on which were painted, in large black letters, contents, address, &.c. One wagon after another was unloaded with out much sensation on the part of the little crowd oflookers-on, except an occasional excla. mation similar to the following, from those who had “never won the like before.” “Glass? This side up with carol Why 11 thought lids ero fellow was a doctor. What on ! yearth is be going to do with that box full of windows V ‘ 1 his side up with care !’ exclaimed one.— ‘ He’s got his parygorick and ile-of-spikc fixens in that. Won’t he lizic them agur fellows down on the river!’ In the last wagon there was but one large box, and on it were printed the words “ Piano Forte ; keep dry, and handle carefully.” It re quired alt the byestanders to unload this box, and the curiosity excited in the crowd upon reading the foregoing words, and hearing the musical sounds emitted as it struck the ground, can only bo gathered by giving a few of the expressions that dropped from the spectators. • Pine fort!’ said a tall, yellow.haired, fever, and-ague.looking youth ; * wonder if he’s at'eerd ol the Injuns ! He can’t scare them with a pine fort.’ • K-e-e-p d-r-y,’ was spelled by a large, raw*, boned man, who was evidently a liberal patron ui old bald face,” and who broke off at the let ler y with ‘d n your temperance karacturs; you needn’t come hero with your tracts !’ He was interrupted at this point by a stout built personage, who cried out: • He’s got his skeletons in thar, and ho is afeered to giv them licker, for they’ll break out efhe does!’ Poor fellers! they must sufler powerful.’ 1 Handle carefully !’ said a man in a red shirt, and the size of whose fist as he doubled it up was twice that of an ordinary man. ‘Thar’s some live critter in thar. Don’t you hear him groan V This was said as the box struck the ground and the concussion caused a vibration of the strings. No sooner had all hands lot go of the box, than he was beseiged by his neighbors, all of whom were determined to know what were its contents, and what were the meaning of tho words • Piano Forte.’ On his telling them that it was a musical instrument some “ reckoned it would take a tarnal sight of wind to blow it;” others that “ it would take a lot of men to make itgo!”&c. The doctor explained its opera, lions as well as ho could, but still his descrip, tioit was anything but satisfactory, and he could only get rid of his inquisitive neighbors by pro mising a sight at an early day. Three days—days that seemed like weeks to tho persons above mentioned—elapsed before the premises of Dr. A. were arranged for the reception of visitors : and various and curious were the surmises among the settlers during the visit. Dr. A. and his “plunder” were the only topics of conversation for miles around. The doctor’s house had but one lower room, but this was one of double tho ordinary size, tad the carpets were all too small to cover the , entire floor : hence a strip of bare floor appear ed at each side of the room. Opposite to and lacing the door was placed the “ Pine Fort.”— All wits ready for the admission of visitors, and , Miss E. was to act as the first performer. The doctor had but to open the door, and half a score of men were'ready to enter. Miss K. took her seat, and at the iirst sounding of the instrument •he whole party rushed in. Somo went directly “P • the “ erittur,” as it had been called, on account of its having four legs—somo more shy, l ,pm ain**d dose to the door, where if necessary, I they could more easily mako their escape; while others who had never seen a carpet were observed walking round on the strip of bare floor, lest by treading on the tmndsum kali, kur, ’ they might spoil it 1 1 The first tune seomud to puyL, whole com* m dJ§©©©Hi pany in extasies. The raw-boned man, who was so much opposed to temperance tracts, pull ed out a flask of whiskey, and insisted that the “gal,” as he called Miss E. should drink. An other of the company laid down a dime, and wanted “ that’s worth ” more of the Forty Pains,” as the name of the instrument had come to him after travelling through some five or six pronunciations. Another, with a broad grin on his face, declared that he would give his claim and all the truck on it if his darter could have such a cup.board !” The “ pine for®” man suggested that if that sort of music had been in the Black Hawk War, that would have skeer ed the Inguns, like all holler !” It is needless to say that it was late at night before Miss E. and the other ladies of the house could satisfy their delighted hearers that they were all “tired out.” The whole country for twenty miles around rung with the praise of Dr. A.’s “consaru,” and the “ musikel kub bard !” The doctor immediately had any quan tity of patients—all of whom, however, would come iu person for advice, or for a few “agur pills,” but none of whom would leave without ; hearing the “ forty pains.” With an easy way and a good natured dispo. sition, Dr. A. soon formed an extensive ac quaintance, obtained a good practice and be came a popular man. He was elevated to some of the most responsible offices in the gift us the people—one of which he held at the time of his i death. So much for the charms ol a Piano forte. From the New Orleans Picayune. Thk Nigiit after the Battle of Buena Vista. —Tiro night of tiro *23d of February last, was one of most intense anxiety to the partici pators in the bloody fight of Buena Vista. After twelve hours of obstinate fighting, with the final result yet unknown, nothing but water having passed the lips of tin sa gallant men during those twelve hours, the flower of their respective corps dead or wounded, and the certainty of a renewal of tho onslaught the next day, it is hard to imagine a period more calculated to “try men’s souls ” than that night. After the cessa tion of the fight, came the lassitude superinduc ed by the extraordinary excitement of the day ; men full exhausted, and bivouacked in line— “the weary to rest and the wounded to die.” The depression ol physical energy was so great, that neither hunger nor danger could incite them —that bloody field, at 8 o’clock, was as silent as the grave. It can only be surmised what were the feelings of that “great old man ” up on contemplating the result of that day’s work. No ofiicer sought repose, and the camp fires, which on other occasions had been the scene of jest and merriment, were now still, and the deep anxiety depicted on the faces of the various groups of officers impressed you with a solem nity, a foreboding oi ill, that was truly painful. All eyes were turned ever and anon to tho tent of one upon whom all their hopes were placed; but not a light, not a movement could be dis corned. The occasion made that single tent an object of intense solicitude. Some wondered it he was alone ; others would have given their earthly wealth to have known tho thoughts, the hopes, the wishes, the intentions of (he old hero;’ but all was dark and silent as the tomb. Capt. 1 L. of tho topographical engineers, had visited the battle ground at night. He had made some discoveries he thought important to bo commu nicated immediately to tho commander-in-chief. On approaching the general’s quarters, he over took his servant, who bad been attending to his master’s cavalry, and inquired if the “ old man ” was alone and awake : “ I ’spec he fast asleep, caplin, for he eat a monstrous hearty supper, and when he eat a big supper he sleep berry hard and sound, and I reckin you wont see de > old hoss ’ ’fore 4 o’clock in de mornin’. Listen! you hear him snore clean out here.” When tho. captain made a report of this last reconnoisance, joy and satisfaction were diffused through the camp. They knew that all was safe. Courting. —A lawyer, whom wo well knew, did his courting off hand, lie had got a good practice and a high reputation, as well for what his noddle contained of Coke and Blackstone, as for being a very eccentric chap in all his ways, sayings, and doings. His eccentricity got him into the notion that it wasn’t “meet that woman should be alone,” and so, of a de lightful summer’s evo, when the roses smiled and tho cowslips laughed—Sunday evening, too, mind ye, gentle reader, that— “ Delightful hour of witching love,” he caught up his hat and was seen ascending the steps of the cottage beside the hill, where tripped “A lovely damsel, bright and fair.” She opened the door, and he politely asked, *ls the Chief Justice within V ‘No sir,’ said the pretty one, • hut will bo shortly.’ *Ah ! it’s no matter;’ saftl tho counsellor, as he was cur lesied within the. door—‘l did not come to see the father; my client is interested only in the testimony of tho daughter. My client, madam, owns tho mansion you see from the window, and tho pith of the suit is to ascertain if you would have any objection to becoming its mis tress. I’ll call next Sabbath evening for your answer.’ ‘Why sir, it won’t be necessary to suspend the suit; I think your client’s case is founded in justice , and I am sure he will win his point without any special pleading ; but, as the father has been twenty-one years upon the bench, it would be but decorous to see if his opinion does not confirm mine.’ ‘ Certainly, madam,’ said the lawyer, as tho father entered the apartment. It is needless to say that the full court did not reverse the decision—and the happy pair signed the bond, and went into possession in four weeks from that night. A Musical Reply. —A gentleman at a mu sical party, where tho lady was very particular not to have the concord of sweet sounds inter rupted, was freezing under the performance of a long concerted piece, and seeing that tho fire was going out, asked a friend in a whisper: • How shall I stir the lire without interrupting the music V • Between the bars,’ replied his friend.

The first ol our sex was made of ribbon, (rib. bone) as the lady said when her husband re. j proved her for drciieing too gaily. Horrid, hut True. —lt often becomes the paiufql duty of editors to record facts which are revolting to human nature, but as faithful journ alists they are compelled to announce to the public such cases as come especially under their notice. We therefore’ give the following statement, which we are assured is correct in every particular : A few days since, a person was seen in our jail, by Dr. Holmes, who had been confined for several months, without a stitch of cloths to cover his nakedness. From extreme weakness he is unable to talk, and cannot therefore tell what his suffering are.— He frequently vents his feelings by tears and sobs, but not a single word of complaint has as yet been heard from his lipg. At tho sug gestion of the doctor he was immediately fur nished with suitable clothing, and is at present doing well. With proper care and attention he may shortly be blessed with the power of speech and if his memory should be perfect, he will probably unfold a tale such as the world never heard. ‘Mercy on me !’ ses Mary ; ‘did you ever hear of such barbarous cruelty? And them’s the kind of people what’s always a making so much lo do over the suflerins of the slaves of the South Sich a dreadful outrage oti human natar never tuck place in Georgy, I’ll be bound ses she. ‘Oh, yes —ther has been many cases in Geor gy on the plantations jest as bad,’ ses I. ‘Why, Joseph, how can you say so ? When did you ever hear of black or white people bein .treated that away in Georgy ?’ \‘Heap of times,’ ses I. ‘Once in our own fife,’ ‘Why, Joseph,’ ses she,’ you must be crazy. Ther never —’ ‘Stop, stop, ses I; don’t get in a {lustration, and wait till I read it all. The editor ses at the bottom : The above is probably the shortest form which our imaginative friends of the Phoenix could find by which to announco the birth of a child in jail. ‘Ain’t you ’shamed. Joseph !’ ses Mary—and her face got reder and redcr the more I laugh ed at her.— Western Continent, Anecdotes of Gen. Taylor. —“At the time Gen. Taylor was conducting the Florida da war against the Seminoles, says the New Orleans National, he became remarkable among the Indians for his singular disregard of danger. lie never hesitated to move about, un attended, and usually when riding out on import ant business, he kept a mile or two ahead of his escort. No matter how many Indians were prowling about, the old General seemed un conscious that they would harm him, and often, when only armed parties could escape attack, Gen. Taylor would trust hitnself alone under some wide spreading tree in close proximity with the enemy, and thus circumstanced, he would eat his frugal meal, and if desirable in dulge in a sound sleep. At the time Indians were most troublesomo to our troops, Gen. Taylor announced Jhis de termination to go from Fort King to Tampa ,Buy, which journey would take him through nearly one hundred miles of hostile country. — The jaunt was considered by every body as a most daring and desperate adventure. The mor ning for starling came, when old Zac’s travr’. ing companions, Major Bliss and a young lieu tenant, began to look wistfully around for the escort. In due time six dragoons all saddled and bridled, made t ieir appearance ; there was a force to meet several thousand wild Seminoles who filled up every nook and corner between Fort King and Tampa Bay ! After some hes itation one of the General’s friends suggested that tho escort was not sufficiently strong, and that a requisition should be made for a greater force. Old Zac examined the six dragoons at tentively for a moment, and then remarked if tho number was not sufficient, ?ieo more might •be added to it. Gen. Taylor singularly displayed this uncon. consciousness of fear at Buena Vista. At the critical time of the battle, when some of the best officers thought it necessary to retreat, Gen. Taylor, perfectly unmoved, would hear nothing relative to such a suggestion, remark ing that when troops were lighting as his wei’e, it was best to let them go on. In the midshof the excitement, Captain Bragg went to Gen.’ Taylor, and stated it was necessary for him to withdraw from his position. lie was as ever, ordered to hold his ground; matters grew worse, and when Capt. Bragg, having no fear for himself, but greatly alarmed lest his guns might meet with capture, again suggested to old Zack that unless ho was reinforced he would have to fall back. Gen. Taylor coolly replied, “ Go on, Capt. Biagg, I have no reinforcements, but Major Bliss and myself will support you and tho old General immediately rode up be side the gun, and looked live thousand regulars at the enemy, who at once fell into confusion and soon retreated.” THE GENUINE BP.AITDHETE’S PILLS, IRK entirely Vegetable, and made on those princi ples which long experience has proved correct.

June 10,1846. 27 ts P ; New Map of Georgia. THE undersigned has been, for months, past, en gaged, under the direction of his Excellency, Gov. Crawford, in compiling a Map of the State of Georgia, on a scale of six miles to the inch. The undertaking is now nearly completed, and he flatters himself he ! will receive the favorable patronage of his fellow-citi zens—sufficient, at least, to have it published and placed in a durable forth. That a revised delineation is called for, of our ex tensive territory, independently of what exists in the labors of Sturges and Greene, will not be questioned. The accumulation and possession, since their times, of a vast body of land designated then as wilderness, or the temporary domain of the Indian tribes, with nat ural objects well worthy “a habitation and a name,” have been converted into organized counties, present ing a dense population, flourishing villages, and ex tensive public and private improvements. The Map to be published (so soon as a sufficient number of subscribers will warrant,) is 6 feet by 4 and 8 inches, and is designed to exhibit as well as perpetuate the present condition of the whole topog raphy of the State. In addition to th* ordinary metes and bounds—courses of rivers and ranges of moun tains, Railroads, Canals, county sites, post offices, fac tories, n fact all remarkable places of the pastor pre sent day, will be shown. The attention of the com piler has been particularly directed to a faithful draw ing of county lines and public roads, and to accom plish such important ends, he has not only consulted the original surveys and the acts of various Legisla tures, hut he deemed it the better plan to make rough sketches of each county and submit the same to the Justices of the Inferior Court, Postmasters, and others equally compent and obliging, and to ask for such additions and corrections as might he necessary, and farther to designate any and all objects of natural cu riosity that might exist. To many, if not all of his requests, kind, prompt and satisfactory answers were received, so that many glaring inaccuracies in the maps heretofore published have been corrected ; and the compiler takes this occasion of returning his ac knowledgments to those who favored his objects, as rendering a service not merely to himself, but aiding most materially in the thorough and correct develope ment of the whole plan. To his brother Engineers of the different Railroads, his thanks are due for the use of maps which enabled him not only to lay down the true courses of those important works, but likewise to make profiles exhibiting the elevation above the sea, of every station from the Atlantic to the Tennessee river.

American Razor Paste, superior Polishing,Burnishing Cleansing Paste. THIS Paste is the result of a simple chemical experi ment, which I was induced to make in consequence of not being able to keep my Razors and fine finished Sur gical Instruments in order—having successively tried ev ery new article recommerded, embracing the best prepared rotten stones, chalks and oils-—nor could I rely upon the paste which accompanies fine Strops, that being entirely too rough, destroying the edge, as also the fine polish o the razor, knife, lan See. The American , differs materially f-otn the English Crown Paste. The latter being composed ol steel and slate dust —whilst my Paste is composed of lw© very soft substan ces, reduced to the very finest powder, and subsequently mixed with parified oil. Razors, Knives, (surgical or pen ) and other fine edged instruments, which are not entirely ruined,can be made as good as new, by using this Paste, (the razor strop to be employed instead of a hone.) If the strop be a flat or two sided one, place a little of the Paste on f lie coarse side and strap oft on the fine. If a four-sided or square strop, place a little of the Paste on No. 2, and strop off on No. 4. A fine, keen, and smooth edge will he the result. Fine cutlerv, guns, gun-locks, brass, copper, or steel, can be kept free from rust, by rubbing on a little of the Paste, and then polishing with a w oolen cloth, or soft piece of buckskin, or fine sponge. One box of Paste at 15 cents, will keep oneor two razors in good order for twelve months. It is put tp in assorted sizes, at 15, 25 and 50 cents per box. Should a failure occur in producing what is above stated, the monev will be refunded. F. S. BRONSON, Inventor Sf Proprietor . For sale by WINTER Sc EPPING .

UYLSA.MI EL MAUNDER, A .|;or of the “Treasury of Knowledge,’ “ Biographical 1 reasury, “Literary and Scientific Treasury,” & c . including’ THE HISTORY OF AMERICA. EDITED BY JOHN INMAN, ESQ. ’ THE republication of thin valuable Work has been undertaken partly on account of the high favor with which it has been received in England, but chiefly in consideration of its intrinsic value, arising from'its felicitous adaptation of the plan to a want that has been long and generally felt, and from the judgment and fidelity manifested in its execution. The idea of giving in a single work, of no very formidable dimen sions, and at a price which brings it within the reach of very moderate circumstance's, a sufficient outline of- the world s whole history, and similar outlines of the history of every nation, is so obviously judicious and appropriate as to require no euirgium. Every person who cares at all for the acquisition of useful knowledge, must desire to possess such a general knowledge of past events, not only in his own country but in all countries, as shall enable* him to understand the perpetually recurring allusions that are lound in almost any course of general reading; because for w ant of such understanding there is always a serious diminution both of pleasure and profit, even in the pe rusal of such works as are designed chiefly foramusc ment. For instance, most of Sir Walter Scott's nov els are founded upon history, and abound with refer ences to historial events and personages, a want of some acquaintance with which detracts seriously fioin the interest and delight they are so well qualified to awaken ; and so of most other works belonging to the better class of what is called light literature. But the difficulty has been to obtain ttiis general knowl edge without going through many hooks, requiring a greater expenditure of time ami money than most per sons are able or willing to afford; and to obviate such difficulty has been the purpose of Mr. Maunder. His plan has the merit of completeness, and is un doubtedly the best that could have been desired Ho gives first a general sketch of nnrienl and modern history—a rapid and comprehensive bird’s-eye view as it were, of the rise and progress of nations, the most important incidents of their career, and their re lations to each other ; and after this lie takes up the nations separately, furnishing a concise digest of all that is important or desirable to know concerning each, and thus affording a sort of key to the changes and events that were more briefly indicated rather bv their results than their incidents, in the general sketch or outline. Thus the salient points of historv are brought within a manageable compass; and an excel lent foundation Is laid for more thorough and exton sivc reading in reference to any portion of the world or any epoch of which a knowledge may he desired In the execution of this plan the author has been very successful. His notice of historical events tlm’ brief, are lucid and satisfactory ; and lie traces the connection of effect and cause with singular acumen and generally with most commendable freedom from partiality or bias ; thus supplying a very good idea of the philosophy of history as well as of the facts which history records. In a word, the work will be found ill valuable to the general reader and a very useful help to the student. 1 [XT’Complete in two Volumes—huge nclavo—wiih en gravings, *4.
