"My lather was a merchant, and my boy hood days wore spent tor thc most part behind thc counter. At tho agc of eighteen I was sent to Randolph Macon College, in Virginia. Alter spending a year mid a half in thc preparatory department I enter ed college, and after passing thromrh thc regular course, graduated in 1887. "In tlic year 18.1:5, when about the agc of tweiny se.irs, I commenced unending leo tires on chemistry, and was foiciblj struck with thc powers of thc galvanic battery, and its con nection with electrical (inrents. In thinking over tho matter I felt con vinced thai electricity could be prac lically used in conveying intelligence between distant points on insulated wires. I announced this belief to my classmates and to illustrate my idea drew a diagram around tho wulls of my room, exhibiting a wiro support ed by glass brackets un upright pole such as arc now in usc, with a bat ter) at each end and an independent clock work on which to receive mes sages. "I attempted frequently to explain this to my comrade-, but was only laughed ut for my pains. I was re garded aa a visionary, and my pro ject a* a dream. I contended that it Would work and prophesied that in the near tu tili c a man would ho sit ting in liss chamber in New York conversing with his brother in New Orleans as familiarly as it they were scated at his own fireside. Yea, moro that the President ot thc United States would in the same manner con verse with the Emperor ot Russia in au instant of time. This of course was regarded by alias the extremo of fanaticism. Only one of my class mates would listen to ute with any degree of credulity and that was a young man from North Carolina by the linnie of Buxier Cllfjg, who after ward': became somewhat prominent us a Methodist preacher.

I therefore wrote to him explaining in detail my views, accompanying tho same wnii diagrams, clo., and a?king him lor hi* opinion. To this request I received no answer. This tathire lo answer was rather a damper upon ni j enthu siasm, and I thought that aller all probaOl)' my theory was not, practical or its merits would have been appre ciated bj a mau eminent in electrical science. "I therefore dropped thc matter and devoted my self to my studies, saying but little more about the telegraph. I was preparing my-clf by a collegiate literary Course lor entering upon my professional a lawyer and devoted my* self exclusively to thai purpose. "Year.-, roiled by and I had almost forgotten the telegraph matter, when in thc year 1844 1 opened thc Wash ington Globe one morning, and thc tit at paragraph that attracted my at ten i".'. was an account of thc forma tion ita partnership between Page, Morse, Amos bundall & Smith, to erect an experimental telegraph wire between Baltimore and Washington City, and un application to Congress for pecuniary ala.

Of IHK WAR. Curious Story of an Attempt to Form a Conservative Fart/. Thc. discussion of tue political fea ture? of the torin.? first ottered to Gen. Johnston's iiriiii and overruled ut Washington is likely to lead to tue development of nome tacts which ?ne new. An ex-oflleer ot tho volunteer forces, was ai Haleigh with Gen. Sher man's army, tells un interesting story of some private discussions among prominent officers, which were main!) confined to those who commanded armies or corps. Ile says that when Un; troops ot' Gen sherman formed a junction with Gen. Schofield's army tu Uoldsboro, a pian for a National Con servative party, which was said io have originated in Washington, wu* hod before most ol the leading officers. Montgomery Blair was repiesemed as the leading spirit at the National Cap ital. According to the views which were presented for him through his brother, Gen. Krank Blair, and others, there iva. a very general dissatisfaction ut the North with the radical views held tty Secretary Stanton, Secretary Chase, lien Wade, Zachariah Chandler, Chas. Sumner and others. As to Air. Lin coln, it was still a question w hether he would finally hide with thc Uadicalnor favor a conservati ve reconstruction. It was therefore proposed timi the prominent officers ot tho army should unite in au eliot t to influence the sol- j diet s to favor, so soon as the war ended and tlio question of reconstruction came up, thu organization of u National Coiisrrvative party which should ig nore all the ltaiucal leaders named and others ol'their class ; which should also exclude thc Non hern Copper heads as a necessary condition to sol diers'support ? which should he made up of war Democrats and Southern politicians and officers, und provide prominent places for all Northern ofliccrs who would join the movement. Tilla proposition wu? receiving much ut tendon at thc various headquarters annul Goldsboro when the news came of ttie surrender of Lee. A number ot leading officers favored lt, and sev eral were tom d, upon sounding them, to he much opposed, lt ls believed io have prompted the liberal spirit with wIdell tien. Sherman acted when mak ing his terms with (?cu. Johnston, Thc excitement al the Nol l li attending I he assassination ot President Lincoln, and thc interpretation ,?nt upon thc Sherman terms by Secretary Stanton made it impossible to pursue the plan fun her ut that time. According to the samo authority, later in i he same tear Montgomery Blair and (hose working with him in i he matter revived his scheme, and agents were dispatched to vuriou- .1 I tory headquarters to unfold it. The break of President Johnson with hit? party wa- tlie result, ?md nt thc Arm in-Arin Convention in Philadelphia in August, 18136, the new party was organized upon thc identical propo.-J lions originally som down to North <'andina for army discussion.
