M. Niepcef was a simple proprietor, who lived in a country house on the banks of the Saone. He was. a lover of science, but made no pretension to learning. His photographic attempts go back to 1813, and he made his discovery in 1814. "The principles of his photographic proceedings," according to the journal al luded fo, " were of wonderful simplicity. He knew, what all painters know, that a certain resinous substance of a black co lor, asphalte, exposed to the action of the light, bleached very quickly ; he knew, what all ch?mists know, that most of the compounds of silver, which are naturallv without color, bleached by the action of of his life, luminous rays. This is the. use he made scuritv. of this proper!'. He occupied himself at j tirsi wun an onjeci very insigniiicani. in and an intimacy sprung up which lasted,! four years, during which time Daguerre i i became possessed of all the facts relating i to the discoveries of Niepce. Once ini tiated into the secret, Daguerre applied j himself without relaxation to bring the discovery to perfection and the result is now before the world in the beautiful por traits and pictures of the Daguerreotype. It seems to be an established fact that the real inventor of what is called the Daguerreotype was Niepce, v,iio, at the age of 03 years, died in 1833. It was not reserved for him to enjoy the definitive triumph in which he had placed the hopes He died in poverty and ob- fdrvii iSotnethingjnore than this is ne- orj'isry to. cony nee rue trial mere is any nni substantial, and tangible, and prac ncnoy true, in iner titiiiiy oi a rail road. i'itl j'ri-he fj"is . lot' tconst r uct i ng it. .This "iOni certainly speaks to us with no ordi- nfittf ,poiv rs of persuasion ; but he has T60.tvuca-'seise,'an.U'.we shall io well to ' tm$ cre hoW-'Avj trust dim;' Let him rivius jlm f iu 1 1, So that we are not pur- i iiiii, visions- 61 aney instead of sulistan CM.d To 1,he Sttbslsince, therelore. let US I.

It is a subject for the inVesti-j Ration of every, arithmetician an ac- countant, every pfanter and professional man. Should it be satisfactory and con vincing to any one whose neighborvUnfor tunately cannot look into it for want of the education which himself has enjoyed, upon merchandise and agricultural pro ductions, to a rate scarcely worthy of.our notice. r : It was just now stated, that according to the. calculation already given in -this npmber, with every disadvantage against tle railway, the expense of carriage up on a barrel of flouMliree hundred miles Would be fourteen cents. Could other States, with all their privileges of soil, ahd habits of closer industry, cope any longer with the farmer of North Carolina within his own State? If, they can sell vik flour at six dollars a barrel, our own flour brought from the remotest, parts of the country could then be sold at Beaufqrt I with profit, for hve and a half. Could they afford it at five and a half, we could furnish it at five. By opening the Harlow canal f or Meain boats, a thing to he done by a few thousand dollars in a single. season, we could enter with fair competition, through oil r seaport at Beaufort, into a trade with Europe, the Mediterranean, South Ameri ca, and the West Indies, as well as the Ignited States. Money would flow in : a- I moug us from abroad, and the prompt anil easy transportation tnrougn tne wnote ex tent of our State, would distribute this returning tide of wealth into numberless streams and rills, to quicken our energies, apd infuse alacrity and confidence into all our exertions. T I The combined discoveries of Niepce w re first announced to the public by M. Arago in 1839.

Adams, of the schooner Lucy and Nancy, which arrived at Jacksonville on the 1st instant from New York : Captain Adams states that on the interesting operations. I he end to be obtained was the reproduction of the drawings of the camera obscura." Every body knows the camera obscura. It is a sort of box, closed on all sides, into which the light introduces itself through a small orifice. The luminous rays emanating from objects placed without intersect each other at the entrance, and produce a de creased representation of these, objects. lo give more field to the, image, and to conduct in certain particulars, in which it appears that the Minister (Mr. Saun ders) and himself disagree. The commu nication of Mr. R. occupies several col umns of the Courier, and, embracing as it does references to various subjects of ! answer which ble with the privnte interests which re-; quired my speedy return to the Unjtea States) 1 would delay: the dissolution of my connexion with the legation until the Department of State had had aft oppor lu nity of passing that action of Mr. Saun ders in review. This I succeeded in do- r ing. Reasons, unnecessary here to men- . tion, but founded on considerations eon-j nected with the interests of the U. States, induced me to postpone allaction in ttin' premises until 1 had learned the result.of the Presidential election. Had "Mr. Ca$s been elected, I should, though I am and j always have been a decided member of. the political party which chiefly support- ; ; ed him, have felt constrained to take the ' advice of some eminent counsel, learned 1 in the law, concerning the proper legal ; mode (if any there be lor a simple citizen of the United States) of bringing to thoi cognizance of the House of Representa-'1 tives an Executi- p:veeding which' I h'-mbly conceive to ". not ot.ly beyond the constitutional power of the President, or his agents, but violative of the c nsti tntional rights of every citizen ol the Un ion, contrary to good fai;' deioaipry to the dignity and eminentl delnmetital to the interests of out conir.ion country. " The state ments contir.ed in the letter-' of a correspondent of the N. Y. Herald dated Madrid, September 19, lb48,r.mount: to an assertion that Mr. Polk's Admints-k . traiion had given Mr. Saur.dt'rs instruc tions, under which that Envoy conceived himself authorized ' to sound the Sj. ...sh Government on iheir dispositions to sell or cede the Island of Cub.i to the United States.' and, if so, to buy it; that Mr. Saunders 4 made an informal inquiry' into U the subject ; and that ' accordingly nego tiations, w ith that object in view, may be said to be opened by the despatch con taining these instructions. Ol the-substantial correctness of those assertions! have not the slightest douht. The Spanish" Government, very properly confining ii- j self to its own acts and availing itself of j the careless expression of ihe correspon dent, bas denied that there were any ;ie gotiations on the subject; for negatia- ! tion' is a technical term with a fixed.; meaning, and the Spanish Government! I could with truth deny its existence; for j as I am entirely sure, in answer to the in I quiry of Mr. Saunders, the Duke oi Vn-. lencia (General iNarvaes) gavwMhe same he gave to the inquiry diplomatic aim and anxiety, on the part i made him in the Courts, some months of other Legations at Madrid as well as oejorc, and when he has repeated in reply ivgiiv iiiuiv jkiu iv iiw huuqI uiiu iu , i . i ri' augment the distinctness of it, a conver- our own, it is not without public interest ; j J l.he samc: ,ml?u!ry en made of h.m of it. It becomes, then, an artificial eye on which all exterior views are painted. These ephemeral images are to be fixed ; the camera obscura is a mirror ; of this mirror a picture is to be made. "Niepce resolved this problem in 1824. To a plate of plated or silvered copper but, as all these are mixed up with mat ters lately, as published in the American pa ol personal and official controversy I ... . c .i r .i rw i recmess oi me assertions oi ine jiciaiaj with the Minister, and animadversion on , correspondent, it would have been entire his character and proceedings, we do not j ly removed by the fact that the official feel at liberty to transfer the article to organ of the late Administration he Un- our columns. One of its topics, however ouj-conlined itselt to copying the denial is of such grave concern, and discloses so he applied a layer of asphalte. The plate confidently a deep scheme of our Demo- thus covered was placed in the camera cratic Administrations, which they have obscura, and the image transmitted bv the lens of the instrument is made to fall upon its surface. At the end of a some what long time the light had acted on the sensible substance. The plate then beinir appeared to disavow, and would fain have. of the Spanish Government ; by what I learned of the matter iu Cuba itself; by the reasons, given by Mr. Berrien in the U S.

A drawing was thus obtained, in which the light corresponded to the light, and the shades to the shades ; the lights were formed by the whitish plaster of bitumen, the shades by the polished and uncovered parts of the metal, the half tints by the portions of varnish on which the. dissolvent had partially acted. These metallic drawings had only a mediocre vigor; Niepce attempted to give them Strength, by exposing the plate to the spon taneous operation ot iodine, or vapors vealed by Mr. sCass in his published speech on the Yucatan question, and the terms of which I have communicated to no one were consideied by me, as soon as I examined them, (in May, 1817.) to be the country to discredit, that we consider quiry on the matter ; by the tactics of Ml it proper to quote the testimony of Mr. i Kusk a"d Mr. Foote in the Senate debate Reynolds on the subject ; and this is no ?
