Our readers have a recollection of a pro ject started some time ngo for an "Atmos pheric Railway" that is, a railway where !. . u ine jnouve.DOwrr ..was xiruuuucu uy n umc ik.i .- .Um, thai wrtaiil frnm xavhirh that lutaa I uu miuuaj " air was pumped out at one end and pump ed in at the other, thus forcing on the ball, to which the cars were attached. Th avn,imsnl ni thai Air rHIIUAV rttil not succeed it may be Decause mey were stopped too soon, before the machine became practical. But, however, ingenu ity and invention do not stop at failure. The air pipe could, not be used as a mo lire power on the railroads, but it is now ' to be tried has been tried, successfully . for the transmission of letters and pacify ages. We learn from the Boston Advertiser ... that Mr. T. Richardson, of that citv- has - made-the machine for the purpose, and tbatkuvas exhibited in the Boston Mer sKr!f.F.rrhsmo'e nn Fridiivv.,h is callfd a i aa. .r w.MKu..iM 'I'uUffrann a-nn i.nni.T . f sconnecting the places between wbjC? iVninica,'on is to 06 maintain ed.T ,a sort of piston called "the nlnniX SoJticfL with a loosa leather packti liiVatter to be sent is en clvs Jinic-atJIaehed behind this plun ge propulsion is secured by the pres sariv 7e atmosphere of ordinary densi ty be. ,U it, that in front being rsrified by ml ,,tis of an air pump, producing a pattiaVvacnurn.

Tbe Advertiser adds tbe following par ticulars: " Tbe mechanical difficulties' to the plan which readily suggest themselves, have been ingeniously, and apparently effectu ally obviated by Mr. Richardson. The inconvenience of the sudden shock occa sioned by the arrival of the "plunger" at the end of its journey, is avoided by an arrangement by which a portion of the air in front of it is compressed and allow ed to escape but gradually, forming a sort of cushion to ease the Jolt. The retard - in effect of the friction caused bv the mo tion of tbe large column of air which ne cessarily follows the plunger in the tube, is prevented by the occasional recurrence of valves in the tube connecting with the ; atmosphere, to be opened by the plunger ! as it passes. The friction of the plunger 1 itself is reduced to a very low point by the manner In whlcE its packing is construet ed.

This has been suggested to be done, by eitending tbe lubes such as are now used in the hotels for talking up stairs and down stairs from city to city. As for instance from Baltimore to Wash ingion, and then parties placing them selves at each end, may bold converse to getber. The experiment will no doubt Home of these days be tried, and then if it succeeds, we shall some day or other, probably, have talking telegraphs extend ing across, or rather under, the occean. This is a fast age, and improvements mast keep up with them. : Baltimore Patriot. "Wait for the Wnson.H The following extract from the Virginia Gazette, of 183S read at the Wheelmg R. R. celebration, tbn rising generation are inclined to laugh at : " The Baltimore and Ohio Wagon Com pany with a capital of g200,000 (one fourth of which is paid in) transport goods be tween Wheeling and Baltimore. One wagon departs and arrives daily from each of these places with a load weighing from 'i to 5 tons, and occupying eight days upon the road ; and arrangements are in progress to increase the number of daily arrivals and departures from one to three wagons, and eventually to five." This arrangement was the origin ot the " Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com pany," which, when their road is fully completed and stocked, will represent a capital of $20,000,000. The distance which the wagons made in eight-days will now be accomplished in one by tbe cars with 300 instead of tons for It load. Dallimore and Wheeling didn't u wait for trie wagon." Neither towns, cities, nor individuals can keep pace w h h t he course of empire, i f t bey. wait for t be wn gon " The i row i ft ews ot the locomotive are fast taking: the place of horse flesh, and the noise of the " squeaking lumber wagon" is becoming bushed by the hum of myriads of cars. The townhat will not move to aid in any great enterprise, or encourage im provements, supposing all will come right eventually, is " waiting for the wagon." The individual who sits down in his store or factory supposing .that business will come to him, without letting the people know what he sells or manufactures, is waiting for the wagon." The man who don't .take the papers thinking it's an ex pense without a benefit, and that he will "learn the news any how." is waiting for an old " rusty wagon " that will never reach him. In short, it won't do in any position in life, now a days, to " wait for tbe wagon." ...

The scene is at length closed on thi, J eminent and esteemed citizen.- Death ter minated his valuable life and his protract ed sufferings on Monday evening, tbe 18th instant, at bis residence altSelma, in Ala bama, which he had with difficulty reached the day before. lie strove to get borne to die, and his' last hours were doubtless consoled by the thought that he should expire under his own roof. Mr. King was in public life, filling all the time distinguished stations, upwards of forty years, almost tbe entire period of his manhood. Not endowed with shining talents, though of excellent sense, brs ca reer furnished a remarkable instance . of the eminent and deserved success of prob ity, fidelity, propriety, a gentlemanly spirit and bearing, and inflexible bonor. These qualities shone out conspicuously in bis character through life, and his fitting re- ward was many of the highest hortar of his country, lie was Representative in Cong ress from Nort h C arolina. bis. native State; from tbe 1811 to 1810; then Sec retary of Legation to Russia ; next Sena tor in Congress from the Slate of Alaba ma, from 1819 to 1845, (of which body be was repeatedly chosen President ; ) then ;MJaist Tr; r -a Senator again in 1849 lo 1853 ; and final ly retired from that long and faithfully fill ed post to receive his crowing honor, the highest, save one, in the Republic, that of Vice President of the United States. This, alas I he lived to reach but not to enjoy, and has descended to the grave with tbe warm affection of bis friends, and tbe universal respect and regret of his coun try. Nat. Intelligencer. -; - DISCUSSION AT L1NCOLNTON. The candidates for Congress in thia "District, met at Unoolnton, last week, and partially opened the canvass. We learn that the diacnasion was limited by the Court lo one hour each- Mr. OasoaNC led off, -in his osnal handsome style : He announced himself as being in fa vor of a distribution of the proceeds of the public lands. On this point we think Mr. OssoiNt will receive the approbation uf nine-tenths of the people of the District. Unless wt are greatly mistaken, the people of North Carolina, hare determined that our old Stale shall come in for her share of these lands. She it more entitled to them than the new Slates, to whom Congress has been giving thern away by mUlions ot a iS sban ahe demand her lar of tbemT Siirely our State need the money ; her right ia clear, and it is strange indeed that any one should oppose the receiving of it Bot strange at it may teem, tad however much we need it, just at thia lime, when we are requiring funds to carry on our internal improvements, strength en our Common Schools, &e., there are yet tome who are opposed to receiving the. portion that would fall to North Carolina. We learn that Mr. CaaioaTit of this own belt tod that he. took the ground ihatlbe.LviakmJ. of the proceeds of the public lands was unconstitutional ! Itakjxncwtstitu the old Stales, it is equally unconstitutional to give Jiema.w-ay.j can be otherwise. Yet we tee at every session of Con gress large donations made to the new State. This has been, and will continue to be the practice, unless the people of the old States make their voices heard on the subject, and protest against the unjust policy. Mr. Ossoana also defined his position in regard to th dangsrous policy of extending indefinitely the Territory of the United Slates. He was opposed to the doctrine, and showed how rt would lead to debt and to foreign wars; and worse than all, to a renewal of those stormy sectional strifes at home growing out of the slavery ques tion. Mr. Caaioi, on tbe other hand, unadmonished by the past, and warmly sympathising ' wiih the prt grettivt of his party, denounced these conservative views and declared himself in favor of the acquisition of Cuba and every thing else within the grasp of the Uni ted States. V It remains to be teen bow tht people of thit District will act in reference to these greal(questione- Are they willing to see tht public lands squandered for ihe benefit of the new States, composed at they are, in the most part, of foreign emigrants? . ,Are they willing to go with the progressive! in the acquisition of territory, when war, taxes, and imminent danger to our institutions, are tht inevitable results?
