The Augusta Chrouiolo and Constitutionalist of yesterday says that the most intense ' excitement prevailed at tho moqageriO' grounds about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, l| caused by the cscapo of tho laigo African 1 lion "Emperor" while being transferred 1 from one cage to another. A very large 1 orowd pf ladies and children had been ad-. 1 m it ted to see these ferocious beasts fed, < * which on Mondays are always more savage 1 because they are never fed on Sundays.? ] But in the aftcrqppn there were no visiters J present, an A every thing being reatly transfer began, and a number had changed 1 quarters, when the cage for the lion was backed up to his temporary quarters for his < turn. The door to the temporary affair was ( raised, and tho lion vory quietly walked in- * to his quarters and the door closed; but as < a the men at the tongue drow the wagon off 1 w the door of the cago was noticed to gently ' < open. Mr. L. M. Hedges was the first to discover this alarming state of things and instantly sprang forward to close it; but it was too lato. Before he could reach it with his hands the lion's head appearod in the open door ai}4 out he sprang. Mr. Henry BarW?a num and Mr. Drisooe, the lion feeder, both* met the lion and had narrow escapes. The lion did not go into the streets, but sought that part of the enclosure farthest from the gate, where a oamol was looped. The lion walked down to where the camel was lying, and, taking a squint at him, turned to his right into a dark place where a string of wild cat cages were arranged. But before he could solect the daintiest cat, on his immediate right, hp discovered a demure looking Tartar yak. No sooner had "Emperor" laid eyes on this jMt than he bounded over the enclosure, about eight feet high, and alighted upon the beck of the neck of the yak, burying his hngeftngs deep into the flesh, crushincr it to death. While this was transpiring, of course the J commotion among the fifty men on the ( ground was very great. While the lio^ay J y m with fhngs deeply bnttca itr me H his eyes glariug, his tail defiantly whipping 1 the air, and uttering ttie most terrible growl, ' a Mr. Baker, one of tho circus employees, rushed in with a pitchfork, and, mounting the top of the enclosure, was preparing to tackle the lion alono and unaided. Ho had ono of his legs thrown over the inside.? The lion saw it and instantly made a spring, and seizing it buried his front teeth into the calf. At this juncture Several men had followed Mr. Baker in, and seeing his perilous condition, seized him by the arms, head and shoulders, and by main force drew him from the lion's jaws. After Mr. Baker's release the lion went baok to a corner of the pen and sat down. How to get at him now was the question. It was certain death to enter tho pen, and there was not a gun or pistol in the crowd. Quickly taking in the situation, Mr. W M Simpson, who has been with Mr. Barnum twenty years in the show business, procured a rope, and forming a "running noose," climbed to the top of the partitioned while the lion waa in his sitting posture, head up and apparently contemplating the damage he bad just done, Mr. Simpson lowered the rope and most dexterously got it around the lion's neok. Then throwing the other end over a beam, began to tighten the noese around the brute's neck. Another rope was fixed around his neok, and when all was ready, the men below tightenod their rope, and about twenty of them began to Vhaul in," while the lion lay breathless within.? Kjfe - He made but feeble resistance, and in a few moments was safely caged, more dead than alive. This animal is one of the largest of its ktnd in the United States, as well as the Jf- most intractablo. The yak was valued at $2,000, and is one of only four in the United States. A number of ladies of the city have heretofore d- - procured looks of its hair or wool, it being ^ very fiue and silky.

Everything said by the professor's assistants was plainly heard by those in atiendanoe here, the ^ - conversation being carried on at the ordinary rate of talking. Professor Bell told his Assistant to "Go ahead and play on the organ." The musio came through plainly and distinctly, the operator sending a chord through at a time instead of having to send by the single note. The assistant then sanf "Yankee Doodle," which was as plainlj heard as if ho had boen only ft few yard off.

' THE ELECTROSCOPEIS TIII8 MARVEL '*6 BE TIJE NEXT achievement oP modern science * . To The Editor op The Sun?Sir: An eminent scientist of this city, whoso name is withheld for ihe present!, . is said to be on tpc point of publishing a Scries of important discoveries, and exhibiting aa instrumcqt invcuted by h!m, by means of which objects or persons stabding or moving in amy part of the world may be iostabtanoously seen anywhere and by anybody. The utility of the electroscope is Undeniable, and if the invention proves successful it will supersede in a very short time tho ordinary r*_i -L; i.i i Uicbiiwu) Ul vuivgrupiiio BDU leicpiiouic communication. Bj incrftis of tbo electroscope merchant* will bcaWrto rcbtlrti. or samples of them, to any customer supplied with the saute instrument, whether in Liverpool, London, Paris, Berlin, Calcutta, Pekin, Sau Francisco, or New Oi leans.? Fugitive criminals placed iu the electroscope can be instautly identified by the polico authorities iu any part of the globe. Mothers, husbands, and lovers will be cuablcd to glanco at any timo at tho very persous of i their absent children, wives, or beloved ones. Painters may rotain their paintiugs iu their btuclio, and yet exhibit them simultaneously in all the gullorics of Europe and America provided with the invcntiiyi. Scholars aro thus enabled to consult iu their own rooms any rare and valuable work or manuscript in the British Museum, Louvre, ' or Vatican, by Bimply requesting tho librarians to place tho book, opened at the desired page, into this marvellous apparatus. ' The electroscope will undoubtedly supersede 1 the ordinary methods of tcIegM^bj, ? it 1 matters very little how long or how short 1 may be tho message transmitted by it; not 1 to speak of the advantage of being ablo to ' read when desired, the original despatch iu 1 the haudwriting of tho sender. And further, in case the telephone, the new instrument for carrying musical sounds, should succeed also in trausuiitting ordinary j conversations, a combination of the o|ectroscopc and telephone will be uiado which will permit people, not only actually to converse with each other, no matter how fur they arc apart, but also to look into each other's eyes, and watch their every mien,expression, gesture and motion, while in tho electroscope. Both telephone and electroscope applied on a large scale would render it possible to represent at one time on a'hundred stages in various parts of the world the opera or play suag or acted in any given theatre. The actors and singers will present, of coii'rso, ever, w to the audience. The inventton is based, ns fur as knowu, on the principle of transmitting the waves of light given out by objects, in a manner similar to the transmission of souud waves by the telephone. Everybody knows that the sensations of color which we perceive are due to the varying strength and rapidity of the undulations of light cmunaliug from the objects we look upon. Now, the electroscope consists, to all outward appear nncc, of two empty boxes, or rooms, according to the sizo required. One of the compartments is the transmitter, the other the receiver- In both compartments one side or wall presents the ends of a multitude of quasi-elcctiic wires of a peculiar make and consistency. Each of these innumerable wires transmits with tho utmost accuracy tho faintest and strongest undulations of every delicate or heavy wave of color that strikes it horizontally from some object or person opposito to it. Thus ninny thousands of wires of tho thickness of a line carry conjointly tho undulations of color emanating from a painting less than a foot square. The wires aro twisted outside of the instrument into a cable, which may be extended to its destination above or below ground, or through the water. On entering the receiver the eable is untwisted, and each tiny wire is made to ocoupy again its proper position in .the sido or wall of the compartment. The box, or loom, acting as the receiver, differs from the transmitter in beiDg~ constantly kopt filled with a newly discovered gas, a sort of magnetic-electric ether, in which the currents of light or color becomo resplendent again, and by means of which the objects or persons present at , the timo i<) .the transmitter are reflected as ? accurately as in a mirror.?Elkctrician, I in N.

It referred, however, to some eighty men who had been teamsters in the army, sent to Utah under Col. Albert Siducy Johnston to escort the new Governor, who replaced Brighuui Young in 1857.

They preferred to go West, and started for California. They believed that as non-oombatnnts they would be permitted to pass through Utah unmolested,but as soon as the teamsters cnino over the mountain aud entered Echo canyon they were taken prisoners and subject to martial law, proclaimed some months ago by Gov. Brigham You.ig. A gentleman who was then auioug the Mormons in Echo canyon and now residing in this city saw n small division of eight or ten of these teamsters under Mormon escort on their way westward. The Mormon military authorities thought it prudent to divide the teamsters into small squads, no doubt thinking their purpose could bo easier accomplished than if they had been kept together in such a body.?

Editor* Richmond Dispatch:?1 am sorry that you allowed to pass unchallenged the item in your piper froui the Bangor (Mc.) Whig about Grant's magnanimity in declining to receive Lee's sword, &c. Several years ago you published a letter from your correspondent "Viator," giving Gen. i^ee'sown account of the surrender, in which ho denied most emphatically that lie ever tendered his sword to General Graut, or had auy idea of doing so. In "Personal Rcmiuisccuccs of Leo" thorc is also a full statement of General Lee's own account of the surrender, the following exa. -.141-. - unci irum which semes mc question : "ticncral Lee said that when he met General Grant they exchanged polite salutations, and he stated to him at once that he desired a conference in reference to the subject-matter of their correspondence. 'General Grant returned you your sword, did he not, General ?' one of tlio company asked. The old hero, straightening himself up, replied iu most emphatic tones : 'No, sir ! he did not.? lie had no opportunity of doing so. I was determined that the side-arms of officers should bo exempt by the terms of the sur- i render, and of- course I did uot offer hiui mine. All that was said about swords was that General Grant apologized tome for not ' wcariug his own sword, saying that it had ] gono off in his baggage, and lie had been J unable to get it in time." This spoils a great , deal of rhetoric about'Grant's magnanimity in returning Lee's sword, aud renders as absurd as it is false the attempt of Northern s artists to put the scene on canvas or iuto < itotWift tnfiTOTate-^Tnstonc"sccim will t not save it when the world knows that 11. > E.

It is one of the functions of the press i to be an exponmt and guardian of public ' morals, and it is certainly a criminal misuso ; of a great power to thus set examples of gros i blasphemy and irreverccco. The sacrifice , of decency and morality to attempts at 1 wit is a growing evil of- the press. Only 1 persons of deba cd minds can enjoy such r gross breaches of good morals and good . tasto.

That will not be very soon, as these troops will leave peace aud home rule behiud them, and us the Federal Kxecutivo will look in vain for any constitutional excuse for again letting slip the dogs of war. Tho Executive will not be pcimitfed ko them slip on any other excuse.
