Kt.ix ruo-MAuaiiiiii; TKLKU.APIIS Mr. Shcp-perd
has sent us a copy ol a report made to th*
House of Representatives by Mr. Kerns, from the
Couiinillcc on Commerce, lo whom wa* referred
the subjeel of the expediency of adopting a ayatein
of eleclio- magnetic telegraph* for Ihe I. Suites.
The Report it confined lo Ihc consideration of the
lyslom interned by Professor Samuel K. B. Morse,
of New York, and accompanied by a bill to lesi
its practicability, appropriating Ihnly Ihouasud
dollars for ili.it purpose.
Mr. Morse's electro magnetic telegraph purport*
lu he capable of conveying intelligence intlantanc-oualy
lo any given point, no utallor how grcal the
dislaiic*. For inslanc*, including Ibe lime necet-ssry
to rcgulalo and attend to Ihe apparatus, 36
signs may be conveyed from New Y'orklO" New
Orleaoa in three minute*—these signs conveying
(say) Ihe following inlelligence from th* N. York
merchant lo his correspondent in New Orleans,
"Your*, Dec. 21, ne'd. Buy 20 bale* cotton at 9
cent*, and SOU bbls. pork at 8 cents."
Professor Morse, (s*y* III* Report,) beset his
system upon Ibo Iwu following facts in science:
" Kutl. That a current of electricity will pata
lo any dittance along a conductor connecting Ihe
iwn poles of a voltaic battery or generator of elec-tricity,
and produce titible eflecu at any detired
points on lhat ronduclor.
"Second. Thai magnetism is produced in I
piece of soft iron (iround which llie conductor, in
us progress, is msdn lo pass) when Ihe electric
curreul is permitted lu flow, snd lhat Ihe intgnc-
11sin ceste* when the cnrrenl of alrclncily it pre.
tented from flowing. This curreol of electricity
is proilne. IMI snd ill -noted by breaking and clot
ing Ihe galvanic circuit al Ihe pleasure of Ihe ope
ralor of Ihe telegraph, who in tins manner directs
and controls Ihe operation of a simple and compact
piece of mechanism, si)Ud the nguier, which at
Ihe will of Ihc operator at Ibe point of communi*
ealion, is made to record, at the point of reception,
Irgible characters, on a roll of paper put in motion
al Ihe time lime with ibe writing instrument.—
These character* Ihe tut-ntor hat arranged into a
conventional alpkabel, which la contained in the
letter appended lo Ibis report, and which it capa-ble
of being learned and used with very little prac
lice."
The cheapeelplin of establishing a line of con-duclora,
llie Professor thinks, i* that of erecting
spar* about 30 (ret in height and 350 feet apart,
extending Ihe conductors along llioir lope. The
i-spcii*. would he froai 9350 lo (MOO per mile—
Another met hod it thai of enclosing the conduc-tors
in leaden lube*, and laying Ihern in ibe earth,
ilie eipeiiss of which would bo near 9000 per
mile. And a comparatively small increase of ex-pense
would facilitate tho communication by the
establishment of additional circuits of conductors.
It is contended lhat lb* revenue derived from

'The battle nf New Orlesns was fought on Ihe
8lh January 1H15. About Ibe 2d or 3d of March
following, (nearly two months after quiet and peace
had succeeded Ihe tumult of war) Mr. Looallier. a

T>l BANKRUPT LAW.—-The Philadelphia In-quirer
says : Taking Ihe prett si s lair index", Ihe
popular feeling af this country it decidedly adverse
to the repeal of the Bankrupt Law. Nearly all ol
our exchange papers protest a_ainsil -ttici fickle ami
unstable spirit which i-lisrsclenaes Congress in
this matter, snd urge tho police as well as Ihe dulv
uf a fairer and fuller trial of a measure of so much
importance Some are idling lo concede that
amendments Or modilv-v-alioiis are necessary, whih
sll contend Ihsl tba "few should nut te repealed.
The Catlskill Mj-seengi r. for example sate : " W*
hope Ihe Ihoy-at'iid* of utterly destitute Bankrupts,
(who e«nna*-raise money enough to procure their
discharge,) may not abandon lo despair. We look
upon Ihe passage of Ihe Bankrupt Law, a. a bold
step from bsibarism to enlightened legislation ou
the subject of debit."
The SI. Lnuit New Era protetl. tg.intl ibe re-pesl
