We understand that the arrangements for extending the
telegraph to Richmond are rapidly advancing We may
expect to receive bulletin from that city by the 18th OF
July All we regret is, that the magnetic company and
the railroad company unable to make contract, by
which the railroad might become the route for the tel
egraph.
This wonderful system OF electric communication,
which constitutes of the brightest discoveries of the
age, is diausng lis blessings in all directions. New
Orleans paper that the construction of the telegraph
is gong rapidly in its vicinity, and that 1t has also
commenced and is progressing vigorously in the vicinity
Of Mobile part of the wire and other materials have
been shipped from New York, and will be here soon
the whole line of posts from hence Mobile is pre-
pared TO receive them ride down the Bayou GENTLY
road, will show citizens line of red cypress posts
that seem intended to last half century"
The telegraph is extending itself to Cincinnati. Mr..
OReIy, who is engaged in putting itup, introduced
on the 18th instant to the chamber of commerce OF that
city, dstated to them that the wires TO that city would
be ready for communicaton by the list of August next,
at the la.est-most probably before"
/ Cana la is about to profit by discovery. The Og
densbugh Republican OF the sh, announces the proba-
BILE completion of the Montreal and Toronto telegraph
early in August next Thus, with line of wires
tending from Buffalo TO the city of New York, and
her from Toronto TO Halifax information may be
nlcated By double ne with almost the lightning speed
on the northern frontier of New York.
late London paper adds another link to the chain of
communication 'The electric telegraph from Ports
mouth England, to the Isle of Wight has been found to
succeed admirably on a trial. with even one wire only
laid down under water We believe (says a Cincinnati
paper there is but one successful instance of the kind in
this country YETI and that is at Gunpowder river,
the Baltimore and Philadelphia line. The whole credit
OF this due to the skill of ingenious assistant in the
Baltimore office, Mr. Cleveland"

From the New Orleans Delta, June 8.
From Mexico.

We have received FL Arco Iris, from Vera Cruz, Of
the 30th and 3st May and find in it two articles, in
which the editors seem to believe (rom correspondence
shown them from Pueba, dated the 27h) that Santa An
had only been deposed from the command of the
army but that he and Gen. Canazo had been arrested,
Valencia had, in consequence been appointed the only
chief of the military forces in Mexico; and that the
peace party progressing rapidly, since it conf
IDENTIFY expected that Gen Herrera had been elected Pres
dent FL Arco Iris says that although it does not be-
eve all these reports to be true, still there is much
said about them, that they not at all improbable.
According to the paper the party of guerilleros
Cruz TO Jaapa, is that of the Padre Jaraua, ia clergy
man, with about so men, That the night OF the 22d
SAID party examined all the passengers that detained
at Puente Naciona and, the Padre did not any
Americans among them, retired without causing any
injury than taking the mules and horses--and this
he was compelled to do, because he needed them to
about hundred men that he had ready to join
native OF Spain, and was partisan OF Don Carlos during
the last peninsular he sent to Cuba and from
there went TO Mexico, where he has formed his guerilla
corps.
Ii appears by the paper that band Of guerHeroS
had arrived at the town of Medelln Vera Cruz,
houses, and take the cuate and acade along with hem
after reducing the town to ruins; but had desised from
their intentions hearing of Santa Annals arrest at the
capital; and they left Medellin promising to return
soon they properly authorized by the com
mander- Chief in Cen Valencia should prove TO
have been duly appointed.
The Arco Iris also learned through several persons
that the peace party in the capital divided into two
partsone in favor of Santa Anna and the other in favor
of Herrera, who the two prominent candidates for
the presidency

Now we believe it is well authenticated that President
Polk never gave Santa Anna this any other pass but
even if he had done So would only have been admitting
foreigner into his country, and there certainly was
no treason in such an act.
Treason consists in citizens consplrlng against their
own country to bring injury upon her. in Introducing
foreign spies into her BOSOM and giving and and comfort
to traitors and in this the federalss have always acted
conspicuous part Who but the federaliss, during the
las, war; introduced into the New England States the
notorious British spy, John Henry The federaliss gave
him their counenance-a abeed and comforted him.
He held counsel with them, and denomnated them the
British party the United States" in one of his let
tiers to his own government They have always been the
British party in this country, and have advocated
British interests When the god-lke Daniel Webster,
whom they are worshppng and dining, was Secre-
tary of State he granted free pass to all the subjects OF
the British Queen TO come uto possess, and hold nearly
one quarter of the State of Manea tract OF country fifty
miles wide and nearly two hundred long, which had been
secured to us by solemn treaty in 793 and the boundary
marked in red lines by King George the Third with his
own hand This was no pass to allow foreigner to
return to his country; but pass to allow the sub
iecs of the British Queen to occupy and hold forever
extensive territory in the United States secured TO by
treaty. and the accurate boundary claimed by marked
