SUB-MARINE TELESCOPE.
This is a contrivance for lighting up the
dominions of the deep, invented by a lady
?Mrs. Mather, of Brooklyn?who obtain- j
od n nntent for her invention last July.?
I
It consists simply of a common lamp, enclosed
in a glass globe about eighteen I
inches in diameter. The lamp, thus
protected from the water, is, when submerged,
supplied with nir by means of
tubes above the top of the water. There
is also a large tube between these two,
for the escape of the smoke and gas froin
Xbe lamp to the surface.
This instrument we saw in operation
Hast evening, at the American Museum, in
Ji vessel of water about four and a half
feet deep. A pin at the bottom could be !
as distinctly seen as though there had
been no water in the vessel. The inve nt- !
or says that objects have been as distinctly
seen by incans of the lamp alone, in ;
our harbor, twenty-two feet below the j
.surface, at a distance of from fifteen to '
t-wenty feet from the light. When I ho
lamp is sunk lower than this, a telescope
is -weeded. Objects may thus be discov- 1
ered at aliao^t any depth.
The apparatus it is thought will be very
useftrf io the discovery of sunken wrecks,
in the construction -of fortifications, and
*11 works estcttdiing to the water. No !
vessel, it is predicted, will, ere long, go to j
sea without it, as, bv attaching a mirror j
to the telescope, the bottom and keel of a 1
shin inav hn examined u ken under full
_'l ?
ail. The instrument has been seen and
approved hy several engineers and naval
gentlemen. It is exhibited only in (he
evening.?.Y. }'. Com. A lter.
TIIK GRK.VT NORTHKSN MAIL. 1
**The frequent failures of the Northern
mail should attract the attention of the
post office department. There are too !
many contingencies attending the Iran?port
at ion of the mail from Wilmington to
Charleston by steamboats. Some ar i
rangetneni* should he made by which that
mail could he carried by land, from the
termination of rail road communication in
North Carolina, t<# Columbia, S. C. All
<lie dangers and accidents, by gales,
ntorms, and hurricanes, in transporting the :
mad, as it now is, to Charleston would be
avoided. We would get the mail one
day later : but we would get it more re.
m * ~ r*
ularly. Four mails were due last evening.
All were received."
The above is from the Augusta Conslilut
lonahst. We fully concur hi the i
recommendation therein made, for we |
have had occasion heretofore to make the i
same suggestion. The whole South and
South-west is subjected to the frequent
disappointments alluded to. In addition,
we see no good reason why the mail should
be detained at Charleston, from the cars
having left as it usually is, near twenty,
lour hours, to the disappointment of all
points South of it. Wo truly hope the
l'ost Office Department wditake the sub
jeet into consideration, and make a
change upon the contract offering for its
^ iran?mnrtation in suitable time, between
Raleigh. N. C-, and Columbia, ?S. C? the
onlv portion of th? route to Augusta, no.
cessarv for it to bo brought by stage conveyance.

A shocking murder was committed on 1
i
Sunday night, upon the persons of a far.
nier named Alexander Smitb, and his
wife, at a place on Long Island call :d Old
Fields, four miles from Huntington. A
foreigner, believed to be a Gorman, aged
about 23 years, 5 feet 9 inches high,
dressed in a coat, pantaloons and cap all
of green cloth, and a checked waistcoat,
with mustachios, and ^speaking broken
English, is suspected. He is ascertained
to have tak^n passage at Cold Spring, in I
the steamboat on Monday mornin f:. for I
this city- Robbery is supposed to have
been the motive for the horrible deed.?
The Vicksburg Sentinel states with f
confidence that a personal reconciliation
has l?cen brought about between Gen.
Jackson and Mr. Calhoun. Wo hope
this is true. Between two men of such
generous natures, after the lapse of six or
seven years since they stood in violent
opposition as public men, such personal
acerbities as prevented them in the heat
of political rivalries, from doing full justice
to each others motives, must he
soothed if not entirely dissipated. .Mr.
Calhoun can no longer look upon the (
veteran hero, waiting in his retirement 1
with pious resignation, for the approach
of that solemn hour, of which the shadow
already begins to dim his vision, and
reverently discarding as far as human
frailty can, the passions and resentments
of his sterner manhood, as he was accustomed
to regard the resolute chief of a
triumphant party with which he had so
many warm but unavailing struggles.?
And the venerable ex-President, loaded
with years and honors, and in view of
putting off his mortal part, purging his
mind of the grosser impulses which a life

in stormy and perilous times they had

in such a reconciliation, there need he
no mention between them of past contlicts
of opinion, of opposite views of public
duty, of uncancelled differences of political
theories, or indeed, any thing hut
merely regret that their ancient friendship
should have ever l>een interrupted.

The St. Louis Republican states that a
i treaty has just been concluded hot ween
Governor Chambers, of Iowa, Commissioner
on the part of the United States,
and the Sac and Fox nation of Indians, by
which the Sacs and Foxes have sold to the
; Government all their country between
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, amoun- j
ting to about twelve millions of acres.?
The Indians arc, however, to remain in
possession of the western portion of their
terrritorv three years?the eastern por ;
tion, including the country between the!
present boundary and the White Breast
river on the Des Moines, to be given up J
by the first of May next. The United |
States aie to provide a home for the Sacs
and Foxes on the west side of the Missouri
river. The price paid for the land is
about 81,050,000, of which eight hundred
thousand dollars arc to be invested fur the
Indians?the United States guarantying
an annual interest of five per cent. The
Republican adds, that the country ceded
is rich and beautiful; and that the treaty
is regarded as very favorable to tho GovO
J
crnment, and no less so to the Indians.
The lands will cost about nine cents per

attended by the Marine Band, which played excellent
and appropriate Music. Mr. Hoban addressed
the numerous company in an introductory

A WASHINGTON!AN.
[Fur the Charleston Courier.)
" to tiik friends ok total abstinence.
[ " As one of your number, who feels a deep inter,
est in the advancement of the cause of temperance,
I have lately had occasion for regret to perceive
i the feeling of lukewannncss which seems to per.
I . .
, vadc our midst. It is a fact which cannot be denied,
that the spirit of energy and activity which
was once so prevalent amongst us, has taken its
departure, and that our societies have for some
( time past remained in statu quo. It is melancholy
to state this, but such is the fact. And I
: cannot help asking the questions, Why it is so ?
Who is to blame ? Or arc not all of us to be
blamed I Arc we to allow all our past labor to be
lost ? Shall we make use of no further exertions ?
Has the good work which we so zealously commenced
been completely accomplished ? Arc intemperance
and its attendant consequences no
longer prevalent in our city ? Let us be up and
, doing. In view of the vast amount of good
j which h is been accomplished through our cxcr|
lions, let us resolve to begin anew. And here
may I be permitted to give a word of advice. lie
I firm and steadfast, and falter not. Do not lierC!
alter give our opponents an opportunity to ridicule
us for want of spirit. Do not allow their prcdic!
lions to be verified, that before the close of the
I present year, at least three out of every ten who
have signed the pledge will violate it. They say ^
Christmas has to come, and when it docs arrive, i
the total abstinence men will be few indeed.?
i They pretend to think we cannot allow that halloaed
clay, consecrated as the anniversary of the
, birth of our Saviour, to pass away without getting
merry on egg-wig. Let us prove to them that we
| can be equally us merry and happy as they, witli!
out partaking of umj intoxicating stimulant to
produce an unnatural excitement. Ily the aboveJ
mentioned day, let our numbers be increased at
I least two-fold, and if such increase docs not take
I
' place, let it not Ihj on account of any fault on our
part. Similar tilings to what I have mentioned
i above, were said about us previous to our last Nation
ll Anniversary. And how were those prcdic- i
lions verified I Why, instead of there having
been any fulling off in the temperance ranks, on
that occasion we had a great accession to our numbers,
and a large portion of them possessed of
sterling worth ; men of talent and respectability
united themselves with us, and an imoetus was
given to the cause, which bade fair to carry us onward
for a length of time. Why has that impc- j
tux l?ecn relaxed ? Daily we receive accounts of;
the steady progress of the temperance cause ull
through our land, and yet we alone have hern
standing still. In the eyes of the community do
wo not almost virtually acknowledge that we arc
indifferent whether we make any further progress ?
Do they not seem to say we do not care whether
we make any more converts or not? We were
once charged with being two enthusiastic, and
that we were going too far. Now the reverse is
1 r 1 .1 ,:i? A.. I - tl.. 1. t 4l._
S tIU OI US, illlU UdUIJ' UU WJ HUitl IIIL (Ulliai j\, iliu
temperance cause is dying away, we will soon
hear no more about it.' Shall such be the case ?
F?ct each and all of us answer, emphatically, 'no.'
Let some method be devised for concentrating
our forces. Let a feeling of harmony and good j
will pervade our ranks. Do not allow bickerings'
and dissensions to divide and weaken us. Hut [
let us be united, active and untiring, and we will 1
then be sure of success aad continued prosperity. 1
With these observations, I will, for the present,
leave this subject for your candid and serious consideration,
and may again revert to it, as I consider
that something ought to be done by every
Sincere Friend ok the Cause.

expressing an earnest wish that the few days i
which yet remain to the prisoner may be spent in
