Courting by Telegraph,
Everybody knows tliut fur the last fen*
{rears, telegraph Companies in Englnnd i
iave employed femules in the instrumeiit!
department of some of the principal sta-|
turns. The work is light and clean, and i
very well adapted for young Indies.—
M< >st of them acquire the art of telegraph-'
Ittg in a very short time, nnd there are ¡
now, in the BcrVrcc, many who are able tweon Patagonia,
to send and receive messages as well as

would, of course, fc?S next to impossible

of their employment demands that for
tt e greater part of the time they are at
the office they must fit at the instninn nt

very well hold conversation with their!
companions. So when a eircuit happens I
♦e tie slack, the young lady who has!
charge of it finds a great deal of relief in
speaking to the clerks at the o'.her end
of the wire. After I had been some time '
in the service, and was supposed to be ¡
thoroughly acquainted with the work, I!
Was appointed to a station which I do not1
wish to be known by any other name
than Morton. After 1 had introduced my-
self to those who were to be my fellow
'clerks, I took possession of the instru-
ment appropriated to me, and, as usual,
inquired the name of the lady with whom
I wim to work.' Quick as thought, I re-
ceived for answer, "Amy Watson. Who
'are you ?" Having given my n- tnc and
the station from which I had come, we
«ntered into conversation upon general
'eubjccts, such as the weather, descrip-
tions of different towns through which we
liad passed, etc. I soon found that in ad-
dition to being an excellent hand nt tele-
graphing, my fair correspondent was
very Entertaining in conversation ; and
ft was easy to discover from the way she
acted during a press of business, that
she was of a very amiable disposition.—
These conversations went on for some
tini©, till at length I was miserably dull
when away from the ivstrsmcnt, and al-
ways eager to discharge, as quickly as
possible, those duties which occasionally
called mo away, so that I might return to
speak fco Amy. I was Wiost anxious to
sec the being who exorcised such an in-
fluence over me, and at length, after much
persuasion, and having obtained the con-
sent of her widowed mother, wo exchan-
ged portraits. If Í was in love before, 1
was doubly so now. Having obtained
the likeness, I was more eager than ever
to see the original. To hear the sound

in'al'gl'rat, address.
Fellnte-Ci/izens :—The time has arrived
when I must speak authoritatively and'
officially on tho groat questions which
now agitate the public mind. Called by
the partiality of my countrymen to the
highest office within their e'ift, whilst I
cordially thank them for this expression
of their esteem, frankness compels me to
say that they have greatly over-ostima
ted my abilities, and that the result of the
late Presidential election has almost en-
tirely destroyed my confidence in the
boasted intelligence of tho American peo-
ple.
It has been, and still is, my purpose to
say that which k h:a 11 please everybody,
and offend nobody ; but I have recently
been made most painfully aware, that
there is not only a vast difference of opin-
ion between the several political parties
as they now exist, but also between the
prominent members of the organiz ition
which was so unanimous in proclaiming
me the greatest and wisest statesman of
the njre, and thus in elevating me to pow-
er. To speak now to the eminent satis-
faction of all men of all parties were as
difficult as tin.' ancient poet hath said it
was, for ('apt Cook to pass safely be-
tween Sevlla and Charybdis, those awful
rocks against which the waves dash so
wildly in the Bhering's Straits, situated
at the Southern extremity of Africa, he-
i highly cultivated and
productive province of Cuba, and Terra
del Pliego, a tropical island belonging to
the ancient kingdom of Newfoundland.—
And by the way of parenthesis, I would
here remark, that island is noted for its
numerous volcanoes, which, to my mind,
is indicative 'of an immense deposit ol
highly carbonaceous coal, and I am there-
lore in favor of its early acquisition as a
coal ili'pot for our steamers enaged in the

I have made since my election,
in those branches, some knowledge of
which is so important to the statesman,
arid to indicate that if the Senators and
Representativos iu Congress, as well as
the members of my Cabinet, shall study
these subjects ns closely as I have done
and intend to do, my administration will
attain to an enviable eminence in literary
and scientific fame.
With these preliminary remarks, I has-
ten, with great relucí anee, to address mj'-
self to the great political questions of the
day. Tho Treasury is the great family
meal tub, and it is a cause of great dis-
appointment. to myself and my friends,
who aided in my election, to find that it
is nearly or quite dry. The sources of
supply have been seriously affected by the
Kcbcssion of several of the southern states,
and great difficulty is anticipated in col-
lecting the revenues in tho ports of Char-
leston, Mobile, Savannah and New Or-
leans. It lias been suggested that the
revenues may be collected from vessels
designing to enter those ports by ships of
war stationed outside of the I.arbors.—
Since my arrival iu Washington', I have
learned thftt the waves do run' fearfully
high sometimes on the southern coast,
and that at such times the collection of
the revenues would be attended with ex-
treme hazard arid almostfinsurmountable
difficulties. I shall, therefore, recom-
mend to Congress to pass a law empow-
ering the President to send a commission-
er to all foreign ports, to make air inge-
níenla with the governments within
whose limits they exist, to collect there,
on terra firmn, the duties on all cargoes
destined for the United States. To bo
sure this method will be open to tho ob-
jection that duties will have to be paid
on cargoes that will frequently go to the
bottom of the ocean during storms and
tempests, long before they roach their
port of destination ; but what has all that
to do with Government ? Our object is
to replenish the family mal ttb, and iu
the case alluded, what would be the im-
porters loss, would be the mail lub't gain.
To bo sure it may be said that there
may be «orne difficulty in making this ar-
rangement with foreign powers, but such
«ti objection is of such a frivolous charac-
ter, that it is not worth while to consider
it until the difficulty actually arises.
Having thus disposed of the trouble-
some question of revenue, I next come
to consider the conduct of tho Adminis-
tration, now being inaugurated, towards
the seceded Slates, iu other respects. I
believe that the Chicago platform requires
of mo the protection of the public prop-
erty and the enforcement of tho laws,
without prescribing the mmU of that pro-
tection and enforcement. Having some
knowledge of the warlike character of
the people of the seceded States, and the
military capacity and courage of Presi-
dent Davis, qualities which that eminent-
ly s.igai iou> man, A, Ward, says are tint
my f«rtt, and the circumstances attending
my recent journey through Maryland,
corroborates what A Ward savs, 1 deem
it prudent, as ill the ease o| the rove

nervous system, and thus endanger my
life, which the New York Tribune says
now no longer belongs to me, but to my
country. J also recommend that all the
forts, both in the seceded States uud in
those that have not seceded, be taken
down, and moved into the interior of the
Northern States, for such property is not
only liable to domestic seizure, but is far
more exposed to attack and injury by
foreign vessels of wnr, when located on
the seaonast than when situated soverul
miles inluud.
It is a mystery to me that former ad-
ministrations should have selected the
harbor of New York, Baltimore, Charles-
ton and Pensacola, for the location of
such public property aB fnrts, when they
would have been so much more safe in
tho interior towns of Ohio ipid Illinois.
Muipo Hint if uriP not I . h.'U bl' iuv an-
litical friends that the Chicago PTatfiWm
requires me to return to the policy of the
fathers iu this respect.
I recommend that all the light-houses
be removed into upper Canada, into the
fugitivo negro settlements there, whore
the extreme length of the nights and the
color of the inhabitants will render them
highly useful, if not profitable, for oil is
very cheap.
1 hold that those men who have taken
part in the formation of a provisional
government for the seceding States, are
rebels and traitors, and should sufl'er the
severest punishment of tlio law. But as
there are neither officers nor courts of the
Ijiited States within the limits of those
States, 1 recommend that a summons to
appear for trial, forthwith,, in this city,
be sent by mail, direct to Jefferson Davis
A. II Stephens, Robert Toombs, Howell
Cobb and Govomor Pickens, and that
they I o particularly requested to come
unarmed nnd bring no friends with them,
for whilst Gen. Scott regards Washing-
ton as safe against attack, I must con-
fess that I should sleep more soundly
with only those five unarmed men in the
city, than with five hundred armed Mis-
sissippians with Jeff. Davis at their head.
In the event those traitors should con-
demn the authority of the United States,
and should not obey the summons, I shall
recommend that u liberal reward be offer-
ed by Congress for their tuilp. .
In regard to the tariff I will say, that
any scheme that will protect the corn
crspof Illinois from the drouth and rav-
ages of the worm, and the reapers of Chi-
cago from the accident iu the grain fields,
will meet my hearty approval. I would
say inore on this important subject, but
I have not yet studied it sufficiently to
speak more advisedly on it. 1 [ :• un'se
however, to study it cairfully one hour
every morning before breakfast f.r six
i months to come. Mr. Burlingame of

! oreóme my ti .iciier lor a Huiufi coHipi'n*,i.
t ion, for which an appropriation by Con-
gross should be made.
On reading the Constitution, which I
regard of little consequence compared to
the Chicago platform, for the first time
in my life, after my arrival in Washing-
ton, I found with amazement that, the
President is made Commander-in-Chief t f
the army. Whilst I would not object to
the honor which this title confers in time
of peiee, yet considering the unsettled
relations of the country, arid tho possi-
bility of the Cnmrnunder-iu-Chief being
called upon to lake the field, I would
earnestly urge that this clause of the
Constitution Ire so amended as to confer
that honor on General Scott and his suc-
cessor in office. I mako this recommen-
dation, not from any lack of personal
courage, but out of sincere regard to the
welfare nnd honor of the country.
I would also recommend that the Cap-
itol be removed from Washington as
speedily as possible, not that I have any
fear of its being at tack od by the seces-
sionists, but lam satisfied that the health
of your President would be much bettor
in some one of the interior towns of Ohio
or Illinois.
In conclusion fellow-citizens, I wi'l say
that I have merely appeared here to-day
that you might see mo, ami that t might
see you, and I will say that I have the
best of tho bargain. I am now ready to
take the oath of office.

The following remarks, extracted from
the valedictory lecture of Professor Wash-
burn, of the Harvard Law School, will bo
read with interest by all practitioners and
with advantage by the younger members
of the profession :
" It is nearly forty yoars s'mco I enter-
ed the profession, without either proper-
ty or patronage to start with. There
was not a human being on whom I had
the slightest claim for encouragement or
business. The profession seemed then to
be as full and crowded as it is now, with-
■nit leaving a spot on which toplunt one's
foot without treading upon some one ul-
ready there before it. Since then I have
soon almost throe generations of the pro-
fession pass away—for it is calculated
that, upon an average, legal generations
last only about fifteen years ; its mem-
bers, after that period, are to be sought
in other departments of business, or in
the shades of voluntary or involuntary
retirement. But there is scarcely a sin-
gle case that I can recall where there
has been a failure to succced in it, thut
one might not trace the cause of this to
the party himself. Indolence, inattention
to business, suspicion of infidelity to his
trust, or somo unfortunate idiosyncracy
of temper or manner, of something often
slighter than those, lias kept away tlmce
who would have employed him, or driven
away thorn? who had already done so ;
while, oil tho ntlfft' hand, tlio case of a
well-read, courteous, attentive and faith-
ful young lawyer failing of success would
be found tn be exceedingly rare.
" The truth is, there always has been,
and nlwiiys will be, a want felt in the
ineir community for tiie servicies of just such
the 1 Iswyears as I have last described, and
property and enforcing the law., when the penple find one, they will, ill the !
from tho limit, of tho seceded end, employ huu and pay him.

If to all this application and iudustry

to use it. gives him a most, enviable pow-
er. But whoro one rhetorician succeeds nt
the bar, ten fail. It is the race of the
tortoise anil hair over again. Tho slow,
plodding, straig t forward industry of
tho one leaves the other, with all his
fleetness, behind. Those lawyers, either
in England or this country, w ho have
worked their way up into t!m higher
walks of the profession, to places of
judges or leaders of tho bar, have rarely
been men like Ktskino, or Curran, or
I'inknoy, distinguished for either grace
of manner, or beauty of style or language.

greatest manager of causes before a jnr-

A DtssRACEFUt, SiRRKsns*.—Our tele-
graphic advices in another column, to-
gether wfth other indications, leave us
but little room to doubt but that Forts

trust that there may be produced suffi-
cient reason for this stop, but we believe
that the intelligence will Cftilso a cry ol

lips all over tho country 1 One week ago
to-day, standing upon the stops of the
Capital, ns the highest representative of
the American people, he took the solemn
oath of allegiance to the Constitution nnd
the laws. Ho then pledged himself sol-
emnly, as follows :
" The power confided to me will bo

If the telegraph is to be believed, and
we have little reason to d uibt its Vointei-

ham Lincoln to sound.
But we have neither time nor heart to

will prove the death blow of the new Ad-

It will be seen thut the alleged inton ^
tion of the Cabinet to evacúate Fortín-
Snmpter is reported simply on the w >rd{ -
of nne nf the Herald's Correspondents inf"
Washington. At first sight we werodis-„K
posed to regard tho whole matter a cms-iui
aril, but on reconsideration, the tryth olj
tho report does uot seem tobo tin linprob*~
able conclusion. Whether war or |>enct
politic, and therefore, tlHR^Ge'Vcnrny'crcre
templated, we shall be no better informed
than before as to the intentions of the
administration,
Iu case war-like intentions aro persis-
ted in, the evacuation of Fort Sumptcr,
would on mere strategic comudcrntionsbe
evidently a politic movement. This fort
unless ruiufnrcod, could be of no service
whatever to the Government, aud its re-
inforcement by sea is now regarded as
impracticable* Military men have given
the opinion that it can only be reinforced
by the Federal
troops
h'g tl
ing the Bay to Naval forces. Butiio\v¡u-|
that the Southern Confederacy has u large
army concentrated about Charleston this!
could only be, with prudence, attemptedM
by an army of ten thousand men besidtL j
the naval forces, who would even thei ,3.
have first a pi teed battle to Pght upon '
landing, and then very strong entrench- j
meiils to force before they were iu pos-j!
sesión of tho forts. But if tho Federal
Government intends an expedition against
the Southern Confederacy on such a scale
j ns this, there uro many ways in which
i they could initiate campaign inore prom-
ising than by making things turn upon
| the recapture of a single fort. We have
¡little doubt therefore, that tho evacuation
of fort Sumptcr is the first step which
would be adopted on opening a campaign
for the subjugation of the South.
On tho other hand, such a step, as n
political move, would bo worthy tho as-
tuto brain cf a Seward in the present
juncture. That wily politician knows
I well that, while any movement towards
i coercion would be influential on the
| conventions now sitting in Virginia and
j Arkansas, in strengthening the secession
; movement, on the other hand, nothing
; would act so potentially towards arrest-
! ing such a movement
- ' \
I nation.
While, therefore therefore, there i.-.
i nothing íiulhoritati.e in the report, com-
ing, as it does, from a newspaper corres-
pondent, we deem it not an important
one, whether the intentions of the Ad-
ministration be pacific or billigerent. In

the* delivery of Lincoln's Inaugural,
"Judge Taney seemed very much ogita-
ted, ami his hands Bliook very percepti-
bly with emotion," as he administered
the oath. Wo do m t wonJer at tills.—
When ho hoard Lincoln expressly repu>
diate the solemn decision of tho Supreme
Court, he no doubt felt that it was the
precursor of civil war, and the downfull
of our glorious system of government.—
Aye, more, it was a distinct declaration
that so far hr ho (Lincoln) was concern-
ed, he should revolutionize the govern-
ment and overthrow tho Constitution, bv
placing a false construction upon it. Well
m.iy the venerable Chief Justice have
trembled with emotion, when the man
who in one breath repudiated the Consti-
tution as it has been handed down to ns
by tho fathers, in tho next swore to sup-
port it 1—Mobile Tribune.

A Ni'.w Movkmrnt for Soctiikrv Trade.
—The New York llerald, of the 8th inst,
says:
"The Charleston papers state that a
well-known dry goods firm in this city
has addressed a circular to its customers
announcing that a branch of the house
will be established in one of the states of
the Southern Confederacy, as soon as the
the necessary business arrangements can
bo made. Without doubt this example
will be generally followed by the loading
New York houses engaged in tho south-
ern trade. U will be the very best way
by which direct trade with Knrope can
be opened by the South. Whatever the
political condition of the country maybe,
trade cannot be arrested, neither can the
merchants of New York permit a tacti-
ciotis minority, which has .succeeded to
power through the temporary disagree-
ment of the majority oí the people, to
ruin the Empire city. New York is, in
sentiment and feeling, as much a South-
ern as as .1 Northern city, and will stead-
ily resist any attempt to force a warlike
policy upon the cotton States.
The Position of tiif. Catholics.—The
Catholic Standard, an influential journal
in New Orleans, has the following :
We repeat, what we have previously
stated, the old I'nion is among the things
that were. 11 can never be reconstructed.
It is ttio late for a recognition of south-
ern rights. We have never asked any
concessions. Wehave never claimed any
more than simple justice. That has been
refused It is' fit:!! refused But even if
it were admitted, it is now too late. The
only question really before tho North is,
Peace or War? We are prepared for

IÍ f.sjovai, of Sl.avts from VlROtXU.—The
Richmond J'¡jramiver is disturbed by the
removal nf slave property from the Old
Dominion. " There is," says the journal,
" a panic among the slaveowners of Vir-
ginia that threatens injnry to the whole
southern cause, and the direct disaster to
this state in particular. Tho procccdinga
of the Virginia Convention are producing
a general stampfdo among the proprie-
tors of the negroes. They are moving
their slaves in very large numbers to the
stiil of the southern confederacy, whew
they command, now that capital has learn-
ed the separation to be a finality and that
the new Government is a fixed fact, pri-
ces nearly as high as they did there, and
here, two year* ago. If the current eon.
