From the Scientific American. American Progress ii. FROM 180. STO 1810. . In no ra of our ! conntrj'a existence does it appear tbat greater progress was made than during I lie twenty years pre vious to 1840. Early in 1840, Dr. Rich aid Hare introduced iLe deflagrator, a form of voltaic battery capable of giving effects of great intensity, and also another form of voltaic apparatus called the calor iraotor, designed to generate, with a low intensity of elecUicity, an enormous vol ume of heat. By means of it large rods of platinum cansbe ignited and fused in a few seconds, and its magnetic efforts are equally surprising ; yet it is hardly capa ble of producing the faintest spark be tween the carhoir electrodes. Dnrins the same year Henry Burden invented his first cultivator, which was the begin ning of a series ol splendid inventions. In 1825 he received a patent for a ma chine lor making the wrought spike, and in 183.5 for a horseuhoe machine. Then followed an apparatus for . making the hookheaded spikes used ou railways, a self-acting machine for reducing iron into blooms hftcr puddling, another iiorsfBho? machine, a machine for rolling iron into bars, and finally an entirely new machine for horseshoe making, which is a marvel of mechanical skill. It is self acting, aud produces, from iron bare, horseshoes at the rate of one a second. Erom these several inventions, Mr. Bnr den amaseed an immense fortune Also in about 1820, Jordan L. Mott invented the stove for burning small coaL Pre viously only large lumps had been de voted to domestic purposes, aud the ernill fragments were wasted.1 During his lifetime he took out more than forty pat ents connected; with coal burning apparat us, and also instituded the change from blast furnaces to the cupola in making stoves and othr light castings. His soil carries on the business ol his father at the present time iu this city on a most ex tensive scale. j . In 1832 James McDonald, of New York, patented an imporjant machine for breaking and cleaning unrolled fl ix and bempv During the following year, Nicholas LongworthJ of Cincinnati, "made his fi is t essay in making wine from Ca tawba and other native grapes, thus starling the manufacture of the famous Catawba wines. At the same -time anoth er great inventor became known in the persou of Joseph Saxton. In 1823, ho invented the machine for giving the epi cycluidal form to the teeth of notched wheels ; iu 1 825 he made an astronomical ji clock, for adjustiug the compensation lod in the pendulum of which he invented the eter and comparator. Iu Loudon and there in vented the magneto electric machine. -Subsequently he devhed a self-register-Tug tide gage a deep sea thermometer, a dividing; engine, and I An hydraulic prin ting pri'iss with flexible platen. In 1S24, the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia iras founded, and in the fall, of the year its first annual fair was held. ferrjng bank note plates. In 183G he devised a marvelonsly ingenious engra ving machine, and in 1840 machines for pressing glass tumblers. He also made important improvements in drilling ma chines, and in. 1847 erected iu New York the first cast iron building, we believe, ever constructed. We now reach the period when the discoveries of Professor Joseph Hepry, foremost of living American scientists, were made known. Previous to his in vestigations, the means of developing magnetism in Boft iron were imperfectly understood. He was the first to prove by actual-experiment that, in order to develop magnetic power at a distance, a galvanic battery of intensity most be em ployed to project the current through the long conductor, and that a magnet sur rounded by many turns of oie long wire inust be used to receive this current. He was also the first to actually magnetize a piece of iron at a distance, aud he invent ted the first machine moved by the agency ol electromagnelisin. In 1820 he exhibi ted to the Albany Institute electromag nets of power superior to any before known; in 1831 he .transmitted signals by an electromagnet through a wire more than a mile in length, and caused a bell In 1833, while Professor of to ring. pin by dies from a coil of fine wire. In i 1833, Hussey, of Maryland, made the first practical harvester. It had open fingers, with a knife reciprocating in the space. He was followed iu 1834 by Cyrus II. McCormick, who invented the reaper, in which a sickel-edged sectional knife was reciprocated ; by mechanism from the drive wheel, aud fingers gath ered the grain. : This was an invention of great importance; aud it met with worldwide usage and secured great re wards to the inventor, who , still carries on the business of manufacture on an en ormous scale in Chicago. In 1834 Professor Denison Olmsted, of New Haven, Coun., by ! observations of the great meteor shower of the preceding year, reached the theory that meteors are portions of a nebulous body drawn into the earth's atmosphere and inflamed by the heat generated by the resistance of the atmosphere to their motion. During the next year, Dr. J. W. Diaper began his magnificent investigations of I lie actinic rays of the spectrum, which included ex periments ou the absorption of the chemi cal rays by solid and liquid medi i, the decomposition of carbonic acid by light, the interference of chemical rays, the crystaliz ttion of substances by rays of light, the supposed magnetizing properties of light (which he found not to exist,) and the effects of light upon vegetation. Dr. Draper was the first to photograph Fraunhofcr's lines, the first to take a portrait by daguerreotype, the first to suggest the relation between the spectra of incandescent bodies and their physical or chemical composition, the first to devise charts of the spectral lines of bodies, th first to explain the mechanical cause of How of sap in plants, and that the yellow ray and not the violet produces the reduc tion of carbonic acid therein, and the first to photograph the moon. No one Amer ican i.ivesligator has made more original researches, or extended them over a wider field, or contributed more largely to the general progress of Science, than Dr Draper. In 1836, another great invention ap peared iu the shape of revolving fire arms, which were patented by Colonel Samuel Oolt, of Hirtford, Conn. These were fivst used in the Florida war of 1S37; but it was not until the outbreak of the Mex ican war of 1S47 that Colt erected the woiks iu Hartford which have since as sumed such immense proportions. Colt : also invented a submarine battery of great power. In the next year 137.) A. A. Wells patented I he process now in gen eral use for forming the bodies of fur hats attended by audible by depositing the material directly on a sound.; he invented a pole changer where- perforated coue revolving in connection by a magneto-electric machine may be j with an exhausting fan.

In IS.'JO the United Slates government despatched an exploring expedition to the autartic regions. No other explorations Natural Philosophy at Princeton College, he explained the electromagnetic tele graph, but he never reduced the princi ples described to actual practice. Pro fessor Henry also as nearly as 1S30 de monstrated that the discharge of a Ley den jar consists of a series of oscillations backward and forward, a fact afterward by him proved true of lightning. He also made the remarkable discovery that a Voltaic current induces an extra current in the conductor iu which it is itself con veyed, which, however, manifests itself only on making or breaking connection with the battery. The system of cou ductois adapted to the demonstration are flat spirals of copper ribbon, known as Henry's coils; and' by these, induced cur rents of the uiuth order have been de monstrated, and the possible number is theoretically unlimited. The years 1830 to 1833 were prolific in electrical discovery. Following so close upon Henry's investigations as almost to be mingled with them came those of Dr. Charles G. Page. He - iu vented ingenious electromagnetic loco motives, two of which pulled a car. weigh ing eleven tons and carrying fourteen passengers, at the rate of nineteen miles an hour; he observed that the molecular changes in a bar of iron produced by magnetization are Of A BETTER Breed.--A storv has been going the rounds of the waners that Hon U.

He also pursued experiments with a view to converting the hardest laminated iron into soft malleable iron; and these suc ceeding, he began making malleable iron a not J orff f f 1..' i T 1S9S t int. .1 ma I i,l,,,Kt wwcen v 9 uirtuc. . k f uo -- " i .i . ji i : : . ....

If Mr. Bayard should be placed on the Democratic tictcet, either for President or Vice-President, (the! former not impossi ble by any means, and the other quite possible) it will require a candidate, not less strong t haif Bristow to hold fast the Republican vote. Mr. Bayard has, im pressed jhe popular mind with a convic tion of his honesty, and at this lime that goes very far with the people.

It is ap parently very doubtful, even with a soft money platform, about carrying any of the Western States ; and sucn a piairorm wouiu probablv lose us nil the above Northern and Pacific States. The chances to carry those above mentioned for the Democracy with a hard money platform are evidently much better than to carry the Western States, or any of them, with a soft money plat form. An intermediate platfonn.would prob ably carry neither. Besides, if the Western States saw a determination to carry out the above policy, enough of them would proba bly acquiesce to make the triumph assured for a larger majority ; if, indeed, any of the Western States can "be carried by the De mocracy, at all ; which is more than doubtful. The South, I think, does not tavor con traction ; but a hard money platform can be made without contraction, and resuming as csrlv a 1879 ; if resumption be, as is gener ally held, impossible without contraction. I think the entire South, with the exception of the two Sttcs previously named, win go for the nominee of the Democratic party upon a hard money platform, if there were; no contraction feature in it.
