LATE FROM NEW MEXICO.

The Western Expositor of Saturday last, printed
at Independence, announces the arrival of Mr.. Al
bert Speyer, in thirty-eght days from chihuahua
twelve or fourteen days less than the trip has ever
before been made. Mr.. Speyer left Chihuahua on
the 18th of July, at which date all was apparent
peace and security, nor was there any news OF Inn
portance Ii reported at Santa re, that General
Garcia Condo was expected shortly, as also inc APP
pointment Of the new governor, (Armijo,) which
kept the military and all astir. The news of the
annexation of Texas had not been received at Chi
huahua, although it was daily expected, and the cit
liens were anxious to fight.
The weather had been unusually favorable, and
the company were only detained two or three days
on account Of high watcr:
"Mr. Speyer brings in with him 8 wagons, IFS
mules, and about $40, 900 in specie. After the most
unheard-of msfortunes, and the loss of about 300
mules in his outward trip, and unexpected delays,
he is here again, ready TO undertake the hardships
of another Journey the coming season-exhibting
AN energy of character and determination Of spirit

circumstances, would have become dspirited in the

must necessarily have endured

Loss OF THE BRIG CANTON AND THREE OF HER
CREw.--We stated yesterday, under our marine head,
that the steamboat Georgia, Capt. Cannon, from
Norfolk, came in contact on Tuesday morning with
brig supposed to be Eastern vessel, and that the
steamer injured her cutwater considerably. 1t was
supposed that the brig had not received material
injury; but this regret to state, was not the case.
The brig, we learn from her captain, who arrived IN
this city yesterday the Canton, laden with iron,
and bound from Havre de Grace to Boston. She
came in collision with the Georgia about o'clock
on Tuesday morning, between Poplar island and
Herring bay, and went down soon afterwards, in
about sixty feet Of water. Three Of the crew
Elijah Jordan, foreigner; William Woods, of Ma
ryland, a young man IL or IL years of age; and
Nathaniel Lunt, of Falmouth, Mane-were drown
ed The captain and mate were saved--the for
mer by cnging to portion of one of the masts
above water and the latter by spar which he grasp
ed as it was floating past him. They were picked
up by an oyster boat, and carried into Herring
bay. The brig, which was a new one, was owned
in Brunswick, Maine, and insured at Portland IN
that State The night was very dark, and the lights
on board of the steamboat were seen some time
before the accident. The brig had no lights out,
and was about changing her course at the time OF
the collision; but, being very heavily ladencd, she
did not answer her helm readily. When hailed
after the collision by the captain of the Georgia,
Capt. Given replied that his brig had two feet Of
water in her hold, and was filling fast; but as the
wind was high he was not heard on board the steam
err The briggs cargo, we learn, consisted Of one
hundred and ninety tons bloom iron, consigned TO
houses in Boston. BALI. american.

OREGON AND CHINESE WHEAT-Jas'

OREGON AND CHINESE WHEAT.-Just
" received few sacks of the above new and SUI
perior seed grain, from III. r. Smeltzer, esq, of
Bloomfield farm. The Oregon is red kernel wheat,
and the Chinese beautiful plump white kernel.
These extraordinary varieties produced MIR. >. last
season As to so bushels Of wheat per acre, weighing
SO to 68 lbs per bushe
'OREGos AND CHINA wHEAT.-lhere have been
let at our Office two species of wheatone called
Oregon the other China 1t was taken from the
Bloomfield estate, belonging to Henry X. Smeltzer,
near Middletown, Frederick county, Maryland.
The Oregon wheat was found or discovered by a
missionary travelling through that territory, who
brought it to this country in 1889. Mr.. Smetzer
this year raised from four and quarter acres, 2l2
bushels and 43 lbs. which is fraction over SO
bushels to the acre. This wheat is very hardy, of
beautiful red color, with smooth chat, heads from
5 to inches long, and average from 80 to 100
grains to the head. 1t is believed it will yield at
least 20 per cent. more the than the ordinary
wheat from the fact that it has from Is to 20 grains
more to the head. The history of the China wheat
is rather singular A few heads were found in a
box of Cbna-warc imported from the north of Chi
ma; and the heads being very large and compact,
the discovcrcr was induced to plant them. Mr.. 5.
informs us that last year he raised 42 bushels per
acre with it. and this year AZ bushels per acre. This
is beautiful white wheat, and has heads or ears
about as long as the Oregon wheat, and about the
same number of grains to the head. The China
wheat is of the early kind and so far, has not been
injured by smut, mildew, or fly."-Sun.
The above valuable seed grain is for sale at the
agricultural store of J. F. CALLAN, Washington;
also for sale by J. III. KING, Georgetown.

EXTENSION OF THE MAGNETIC TELE.
GRAPH.

Appearances now indicate that, within the brief
space of three months, the lines Of Geographic COM
munication will be completely in operation between
the principal commercial cities along the Atlantic,
aud also with our State capital. Between New
York and Baltimore the lines will certainly be COM
pleted, centering at near Philadelphia; and hence
taking their westerly course, via Harrisburg, to the
Ohio river, on the route 10 the Mississippi There
is reason to believe that before the first of january,
telegraphic lines may be completed beyond New
York to Boston, Albany, Utica, Oswego, and Buff
fao. Every link of telegraph that is added, makes
the matter more useful TO the public, and more prof.
table for the companies.
We learn from Harrisburg that the State officers
have manifested Gommendabe interest IN the en-
,etprise, by freely asserting TO the extension Of the
teegraphS wires along the lines Of canals and rail-
roads owned by the Statesubject Of course, to the

The MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.-The engineer has
been on the line from this point, upon the transit,
TO the place of connection with the main line from
Albany TO Buffalo. The work Of erecting the posts
is TO be Immediately commenced, or, in fact, IS
commenced. Posts are to be erected once in 20O
feet, 20 feet high, with cap cross frame upon
the top Inserted in this cap are two pins, from :
to inches high and upon the top of the pins are
glass knobs, (non- condueors,) upon which the
wires are to rest. From the junction with the main
line to Buffalo, there will Of course be pins, and
as many glass knobs as two sets OF wires are to be
upon one line of posts.
The telegraph completed, its particular use, as
we understand it, will be as follows:-There will be
battery at each end Of the wires, at Buffalo and
L.ockport. At each will be stationed keeper. A
citizen of Lockport, for instance, wishes to inquire
if such steamboat has arrived at Buffalo, As soon
as the fact can be ascertained there the answer Is
returned. If the information is already IN posses
sion Of the keeper Buffalo, minute will suffice to
make the inquiry and get the answer. Vice rersd

miller, here, for instance wishes to inquire OF his
| commission merchant or business agent in New
York, what news by the last arrival from England
Or what is the price Of -FOUR He applies to the
keeper, and IN about two minutes, or perhaps less
gets his answer. There is to be no monopoly in the
use Of the telegraph. Any one who applies and
pays the fees, may avail himself of its facilities
The telegraph will be the property of joint
stock company. The charges are to be regulated
by the length or number Of words and letters nsec
in the correspondence.
The main line from Albany to Buffalo, it j,
understood, will be in operation by the LIST Of De
