Great Telegraphic Feat.- A note from the telegraph agent of the Associated Press informs us, that Mr. Bulkley the Superintendent of the New Orleans Telegraph line has invented a Connector" by means of which, placed at each station on the line, the operators are enabled to "turn the current of electricity from their offices, and thus connect the most extreme points." . j The " Connectors" by some ingenious mechanism --only fully understood by the intelligent and practical inventor have the effect to reneto the magnetic force wherever applied, by which means the great difficulty of "w riting in long circuits" is wholly overcome. This invention, therefore, would seem destined to become one of the most important aids in the "annihilation of space. We understand that the N ew-Orleans line under ; Mr. B.'s superintendence has been supplied with these " Connectors " and their practical utility for the purjoses desired were very satisfactorily tested to-day, by enabling Mr. Long and his accompnsn- ed assistants in the office m tins Uity to noia a direct and inslantaneous chit chat with their fellow operators in the office at New-Orleans-a distance by the wires of 2,300 miles.

A case was tried a day or two ago in one ,of our courtsf in which an unusual circumstance m the relations of debtor and creditor was developed by the testimony. The suit was against the executor, ot a person who became indebted to the plaintiff and another person in the sum of about $500 each. As a matter of prudence. these creditors united in effecting an insurance on their debtor's life, to the amount of these claims up on him. In, a few weeks after this the debtor died. and the Insurance company paid the. amount of their insurance. One" of the creditors also subse queirly brought suit upon his claim against the estatt of his' debtor, and will, of course obtain twice the anount of his original claim. The latter was suggested on the trial, but as there was no condi tion ii the policy, of 'insurance, nor any circum stances which could prevent the plaintiff from, re covering on the policy and against the estate of his debtor also, no legal objection could be urged to the siit.

From sta tistics ctntained in the "American Almanac." for 185.2, wj learn that there are in the United States, no less than jtwo hundred aud seventeen colleges and professional schools. Of this number, 120 are colleges proper, 43 theological, 17 law, and 37 medical schools. .Out of the aggregate, Pennsyl vania has 21, consisting of 8 colleges, 7 theological,- 2 law, and 4 medical schools. The number of vol umes contained in the libraries of the colleges, ex clusively of those of the professional schools, is, as tar as estimated from lmpei-ject returns, 871,800. Of the colleges enumerated, '13 are marked as be-. ing under, the direction of tlie Baptists, 8 under control ot the . Episcopalians, 13 belong to the Methodists, and 1 1 to the Roman Catholic Church. As regards the remainder, the "prevailing religious influence of those in the New England States is said to be Congregationalism, and tllat of most of the others Presbyterianism. ', A Lieutenant Pim, one of the Arcic navigators of the Plover and Herald, has , struck out a neAi idea in reference to Franklin and his.companions. His notion 'is that the latter will be found, if found at all, on toe coast of Asia, instead of that of North America, and with this impression has developed his views before the Geographical Society. His theory is to be tested forthwith, for the gallant Lieutenant is to start immediatelyon an overland journey, from St. Petersburg through Russia to the ultima Thule of Siberia, and as far beyond as the elements will permit. More than three thousand miles of the journey will be performed after all regular conveyance has ceased, through regions that would chill th blood and cool the ardor of any ordinary traveller. : Such, however, the Lieu tenant is not ; he is even sanguine of a good result, and having formecLhis conclusions trom experience as well as reflection, they well deserve the favor they Lave received. The expense of the journey; which will be performed almost alone, is to be de frayed by private subscription. The Seventh Census Some idea of the . im mense amount of duty involved in the preparation of the census, may be inferred, from the fact that, although about one hundred, and thirty-five clerks are emnloved upon the works.it has been found necessary to employ the -greater number of them during extra hours, at night, m order to lay betore Congress, at an early period in thesession, as much as practicable of the prepared returns, embracing !

The immense domain once included within! the hut of North-Carolina gradually melted away ; id in the year 1776, the Mississippi River was the itifcrn boundary of the Sta'te. That is now Tennessee was, at the time of the Jeiolution, partially settled with white inhabitants ; m as they increased, and public necessities increas idV ith the population, thy began sensibly to feel tit incon venience of their remoteness from the seat of eminent. : ) ' lie Government of the United States, bending un;r very heavy burdens, early directed its attend tid to the Western lands as a source of revence ; an the State of North-Carolina, ever foruiost in uniing sacrifices for the public good, passed an aenn 1784, authorizing the execution of deeds for tlubession of her W estern domain to the General Gofernment. , ' , ,Sbme of the inhabitants of this region were dis posed to urge on Congress the acceptance of this gmt; but the act of Assembly of Jwrth-Carolina v s soon afterwards repealed, much to , the dis s isfaction of some turbulent spirits. The legislature, however, . promptly adopted i asure for the redre'ss of grievances complained . in tliCtar western counties and John Sevier, the 1 der of the factionists, acknowledged in a public s jech the liberality of the State, and recommended j-bmissipn to its laws. But the spirit of opposition grew ; and soon after, convention sitting at Jonoboro', and presided ter by Colonel Sevier, ushered into the world the ' tate of Frankland," declaring it a sovereign and i dependent state, tfce. kc A constitution, trained 1 ' this conx'ention, was ratified at a subsequent (ie, held in November, 1785, and John Sevier was" ( losen governpr ; and the general assembly of " the ;ate of Frankland" informed Richard Caswell, ivernor of North-Carolina, that tlie people of tlie . unties of Washington, Sullivan, and Greene had glared themselves a self-governing people, in tpendeiit of the State of North-Caroiina. j In 17 85, Governor Caswell issued a proclamation, marked with great vigour and determination,' Vet ill of moderation, and couched in a style worthy the occasion and tlie officer from whom jt issued ; d, as the western factionists seemed disposed to fy it, alFairs rapidly approached to what seemed be a glopmy and perilous crisis. ' There were courage and pride on both sides ; but e people of both sides were North-Carolinians, and e respective leaders men who were animated with tue Carolinian hearts. ! No men could be braver or more determined in tjeir purposes than those compatriots who now tood in an attitude of hostility towards each other; rut, like all really brave men, they were averse to ie shedding ot blood, and looked with horror at he prospect of a civil war. In November, 17S5, the legislattire oi Jscrth- arolina met at Newbern ; and the members, re flecting the gallantry and patriotism aud sacrifices the western feetiomsts in times past, and anxious b deal with them -as brethren, made a liberal and ble effort to reclaim them from their treasonable f T 1 rlvr si..,ui. t?.

The di?nitv. forbearance, and determination of the mother State began, however, after a severe struggle, to have their proer etiect : the loyal p:irty gained strength daily, and in. the year 1787, the western 'counties were represented in the legislature of North-Carolina, sitting "at Torboro'. In the year 1788, Sevier, after a desperate strug gle, was arrested and carried to Morganton ; but he ' was. finally 'pennitted to escape, and w as afterwards a member of the legislature of North-Carolina. He had been one of the heroes of King's Mountain ; and his compatriots exercised a wise forbearance towards his infirmities, and,' with true courage-and generosity, saved him from being the destroyer, of a name made honorable ;by many noble deeds.

Ala's, I have no home, and the freedom of my people is trodden down ! Young giant of free, America : voif will tell me that your sacred shores are an asylum for the oppressed ' a home for the homeless exile. ; But can all the bless ings of your glorious country drown into oblivion the burn:ng desires of the heart for our native land ?7 My poor native land ! thy sufferings make thee still dearer to my heart. Thy bleeding image rises sweet to me, as it has in the short hours of my restless sleep.

And wo even to me ! I shalt find no pleasure even here. And the days of my staying here will turn out to be lost for my fatherland. Cheers. It will be wasted, perhaps, at the very time of the decision of Eu rope's destiny. ' Citizens, much as I need rest much as I want to become familiar with the ground I will have to stand upon, before I enter into business matters publicly- I took it for a duty of honor not to Jet escape even this first opportunity of your generous reception, without telting-you plainly, openly, what sort of man Iam4 and what 'are the hopes and expectations, and what are the motives yhich have brought me now to your shores. " At this moment great confusion arose from the crowd, and M, Kossuth said he entreated them to al low him not to speak, as there was so much confusion that lie could . not be heard. Partial silence having "been restored, he went onto say Gentlemen, I have to thank the people, the Congress and the Government of the United States lor my li beration from captivity. Human tongue has no ex pression for my feelings wiien 1 first caught sight of the flag of the united States. But however dear my Gratitude may be, this would have been of no use to me at this very, moment, .in coming to the United States only for the purpose of expressing to you my thanks. The movements in Europe are of very gi'eat importance now. 1 shall be compelled by the noise, to make what tew more words 1 shall sav, to the Mayor alone. This is no place for ma to enterdn'o matters of importance. Still I suppose you will be so kind as to receive my thanks for your reception shall, before another meeting of 'onr citizens have fbecome fami)iar with the ground on which I stand,and I can then express the humble wish of my beloved country which is so strong'y connected with the fate of Europe. Hoping that you will grant me the ivor ot defer.' mg any further remarks at present, 1 begto ex press my most humble thanks for my generous wel come, and hiv confidence that this will turffiSutto be a very important day to the destiny of my people. Be cause Iknow very well that th people of N'ew-York have resolved to bestow its sympathy upon my native land. I trust they mean not only to speak in word, but also to give efficient aid to the cause whk-h I have the honor to represent. Please accept my I hanks, We extract from the New-York Tribune, the following description of Kossuth's personal apr pearance, manner, fcc. : "Uov. Ko iuth is rather tiller than we had suppos ed, and his fde has an expression of penetrating irf- tellect which is not indicated in any portrait we have seen. It is long, the forehead broad, bat not expres sively high, though astight baldness makes it seem so, and the chin narrow, but square in its form. His hair is thin in front and of a dark brown, as is his beard,, which is quite long, hut not very thick, and arranged with neatness and taste. His moustache is heavy land rather long. His eyes are very lnrge and of ja light blue ; his complexion is pale like that of a man: who is not in perfect health, and his appearance yesterday w-ns that of thespiiit bearing up against the exhaustion of tlie body; he was sea-sick during the, passage and had not slept for two or three nights. His manner in speak ing is at ence incomparably, dignified and graceful. Gestures more admirable and effective, arid a play of countenance more expressive and magnetic, we remem ber in no other public speaker. He siands quite erect, and does not bend forward like some orators, ito give emphasis to a sentence. His posture and appearance in repose is imposingniot only from their essential grace and dignity, but from a sense of power they fmpress upon the beholder. This sense of unused power, this certainty that he is not making an effort and doing his utmost, but that behind all this strength of fasci nation, there are other treasures of strength, other stores of ability not brought into use, possibly never brought into use, is perhaps what constitute the su preme charm of his oratory. He speaks as if with little preparation, and with that peculiar freshness which belongs to extemporaneous speaking ; there is no effort about it, and the wonderful compactness and art of his argument are not felt until you reflect upon it afterward. His every movement is perfectly easy, and he gesticulates a goods deal, equally well withei their arm. Nothing could be more beautiful, in its way than the swreep of his right hand, as it was raised to hCaveri, when he spoke of the Deity. Nothing sweeter than the smile which at times mantles his face. His voice is not very loud, and more evinced exhaus tion than either his face or his general bearing, but it was heard distinctly through the large pavillion. On the whole our previous impression was perfectly con firmed by hearing him yesterday. Beyond a doubt he is the greatest of orators now living, and we shall not easily believe that in that capacity he has ever been excelled. In speaking, Kossuth occasionally referred to notes which lay on the stand before him. He was dressed after the Hungarian fashion, in a black velvet tunic, single breasted, with standing collar and transparent black buttons. . He also wjore an overcoat or sack of black velvet with broad fur. and loose sleeves. He wore light kid gloves. ' - Generally his English is fluent nd distinct, with a marked foreign accent, though at times this is not at all apparent .He speaks rather slowly than otherwise, and occasionally hesitates for a word. His command of the language, astonishing as it is for a. foreigner, seems rather the result of an 'utter abandonment to his thought abd a reliance on that to express itself, than of an absolute command of the niceties of tlie THE LATEST MARKETS. t BALEIGH MAEXET-Wholcsale Price SttTED KXrassSLT FO THX WIZXLT POST, By JORDAN OMBLE, Grocer, Hakqat Stjikst, Ralewb. v, rXT , . , Thursday, December 1LI No change m the markets iince U quotation..
