Au emigrant from l\/lassacliusetto, of middle-
age. and very respectable_appearance, stepped
iiiio our ofice, accompanied by his son, about
Qyears old, on Monday. We learned from him
that he had arrived i_n our country alter one of
the most adventurous overland journeys per-
haps ever undertaken. VVe hope to obtain from
him a full relation of his tour, and in the mean-

outline:
His name is Isaac H. Pratt, of Midtlleborough.
Plymouth County, Mass.. and a ship carpenter
by occupation. Having a family ofsix or eight
children, dependent solely upon his daily labor.
and being with thousands of others, thrown out
of employ by the prostratiou ofbusiness in New
England in May, he former) the design of taking
his two eldest boys and setting oil‘ for this coun-
try on foot. \Vitli him, to design was to execute.
Placing his wife and smaller childreii with a re-
lation, he started. on the 18th of May with his
sons, one aged 9 years. and the other 7, without a
cent of money in his poc5et,‘and with no other
avuilableethan a kiiapsack ofclothes and provis-
ions and a carpenter's steel square. 'I‘h': first
day, he entered Rhode Island, where he sold his
square for a ‘quarter dollar and four pence ha‘-
peuuy,’ (31 cts.) which procured them some-
thing to e-_et and lodging. The next day, after
reaching 25 miles by the middle of the afternoon.
they stopped me fa-.rtn house, where Mr. P.
inquired if they tlid'nt want some jobs of car-
penteringdotie, slielves put up, windows lighten-
ed or loosened. doors hung or repaired. hen coups
made, roof uiended. any thing in his line to pay
for staying over night ?' Certainly. was the‘ re-
ply ; come in. and we‘ll ‘set you to work. So
tvell satisfied was the larmer with his service.
that oti parting early next morning he filled his
knapsack with provisions to lastthrough the day.
In the afie;-noon he stopped in like manner and
met with the some reception ; and thus be con-
tinued ull the way to _Bull'a|o on Lathe Erie.
Sometimes, in raiiiy we-‘iitlier. he Wflllld Temaln
a day with his IIUSI, and on two or three occa-
sion; rear-iv. d a few shillings for his work; but
the whole amount added together ofthe money
trial he re;'eived itito his hands up to the time of
l)lS -arrival at Cl'iicago,, did not amount to five
dollars. On re-aching the Erie Canal. he on-
deavored to work :1 pzissage for his boys by
llflVlll'_-'_ the horses himself; but finding this
would not keep liiui in fozul. he left the canal.
and resumed thepetlcstriaii journey. - On ar-
riving at Buffalo, his oller to work his passage to
Detroit was readily accepted ; and upon landing
at the latter place..cach resumed the trump with
great cli_eerl'ulneus, In passing over the pr_ar_ies
in Michigan, they one day attracted the notice of
a c()n1pai]y()fslage passengers. who insisted giv-
ing the buys a lift, and accordingly took them on
ten miles to the dining house, where they gave
them their dinner and made up for them it con-
tributiou of 672; cts. Finding laborersin great
demand in this state, our accornniodatiug pedes-
trian worked one day in the praries at niowing.
for wliicli he got one dollar and fifty cents; and
on another day, though anxious to “ get on,’ he
stopped to lay a barn floor. _Yet all his receipts.
up to his entering Chicago, as above stated, did
not amount to five dollars. At Chicago he
worked a week, by which his purse was so at
replenished as to enable him to reach here mticli
richer than he left Massacliusetis.
He arrived at Pcori on the 15th of July. hav-
ing walked with his boys upwards of one Iliou-
sand miles, without once appealing to the sympa-
thies of the benevolent for a shilling, and ac-
cepting of nothing (save his acquiescence iii the
stage c-ontribution to his boys,) without render-
ing what he deemed a fair equivalent. Like
the genuine son ofthe pilgrims, he has too much
thrift to sponge, and too much iudependeiicc to
ask or accept a favor.
On the day of his arrival he was su_rprised to
see in our streets ati old Middleborough towns-
iiian. M r. Brooks, of the firm of Brooks & Cogs-
well, mercliants. The latter,.on hearing his ad-
Ventures, said the boys who trziveletl so \\'L'll as
they hail done, deserved somcthinir. and taking
llieiri into his store presented them with a suit of
clot hes eat,-li. 5
Soon after his arrival, M t‘. P. said he must go
and look at the. country. and take up a claim.
So he started off. with his boys, for the Kickapoo

many obligations to Clark D. Powell. Esq. for

Thomas Davenport, a native of Vermont,

the‘ machinery of which is now being exhibited

of every individual who has seen it irrepara-

Of the origin of this wonde.-ful discovery,
which tliroatens to make as entire a revolution
in the III‘:-{.‘l}EDll'!'il world as that of Fulton in
steam navigation, which it may possibly super-
cede, the public are naturally curious to loam
some particulars. \-Ve cotiiiiiunicate them ins

can convey anyjnotion of the extratirtlifluty de-
velopment and application of clect_ro-niagueiii:
power discovered by our native American
ineclianic, Davenport. His name probably in a
few years will stand otit upon the annals of our
hi.-itory as much more prominent than \Vatts.
Arlrwright, or Fulton, as they do now above the
most ordinary inventors. ‘
Nor, let us add, can even the interesting and
well written tleecripiiotis in Sillimiitfs Journal,
and el-:ev/liere in our newspapers, possibly make
intelligible the nature of Mr. Davenport's dis-
covery. in fact, the technical language of science
requires an entire tier.‘ glosaar to furnish words
to express the thoughts which have sprung tip in
this new world, wliosc door has been burst open
by the genius of one ofotir citizens.
Up to the age of 230, Mr. D. steadily followed
his profession as blacksinith. In the sumtiier
of 1833. he happened to go, as was his custom.
from Brandon to a forge at Crowti Point on
Lake Ciianiplaia, where he was in the habit of
piir_Cl!€!Sl0g his iron. I-Ie there saw a revolving
cylinder with mugnetical points, for the purpose
ofseparatiug the particles of iron from the pol-
verized ore. ‘How is this magnetized T‘ said
Mr. D. to the owner. ‘ By Professor Henry's
horse shoe magnet which you see there.’ was
the reply. It was one of a very small descrip-
tion, weigliina‘ about three pounds and had been
purcliased of Prof. lleury himself at Albany.
Onzin exhibition of its powers, in connection with
the’ galvanic battery, (Ilare's) Dr. D. was so
strtck with this. to him, eiitiiely novel agent,
tlitr he immediately tlctiiandeil the price ofthe
tvlul: apparatus and purchased the same, going
home absorbed with _the useful purposes to
wlich he immediately conjectured it might be
aptlicd, and too mucli etigrtissceil with this domi-
nan thought to remember the load of iron he
hadjome in piirstiit of. It is proper to say, that
prevous to this Mr. D.-had become acquainted
with he nature oftlie pemianc-nt magnet, in his
excusious with that and the coiupass among the
iron rigions ofhis native state. On his return.
he exjhiinetl to a frientl his conviction that the
magnet :oo|d be mudeto procure a rotary nio-
tion. is frietid eiigaged with him in a series
of experrients, wliicli proved abortive. and Mr.
D. was sinrtly after abandoned its a visionary.
The sail; result precisely soon followed with
two othel persons. He was thus finally and
fammat thrown upon his own resources. and
himself ,as the sole discoverer of this great in-
vention,lnd the architect of his own reputa-
tion.
\Vhileprosecuting ‘his researches he read

war. He said that resolution had been most in-
uouiously cut out from the consideration of the
Ilouse.
That resolution of inquiry has gone to the“
place where things lost on earth go——to the
paradise of fools. Mr. Adams was proceeding
to urge this topic, when Mr. Cambreleng rose
and callctl ‘
M r. Alidlns to order. Mr. C. said that Mr.
Adams uuglii not to be allowed to diseuss,every--

L He b‘(:l‘l‘t:\'i;‘tl tli t‘ the reason why the bill was
~i‘1f'.‘:’_‘. i"!‘“.'=.l!'d with so bold a. tone, was, that
the authors knew it would not be passed. He
said, too, that the Mississippi election . case
ought to be dccid-~d, because they now decided
many important questions. “Two votes,” he
told, “ are a large majority now, sir!”
Mr. Adams concluded by declaring that Con-
gress ought not to adjourn, merely to suit their
own convenience, while the people should be
left to l.lSClTlBPlV(-‘.8, and he therefore moved,to
amend by striking out“ Monday, the 9th of Oc-
tober,” and insert “tlie. first day of April.”
Mr. Patton moved to postpone the resolution
to Moiiduy next. -
M r. Thompson, of S. C., was in favor of the
sent state of public affairs. The following is

we invite the serious attention of our readers:—
