The MISSION TO RoME.-We understand from
an authentic and reliable source, that there is
every probability of an ambassador of the highest
rank being sent from this country to the Court of
Rome, instead of an inferior mission, was first
proposed, and that Chief Justice fancy may be
the ambassador, with an outfit of nine thousand
dollars, and salary of nine thousand dollars
year, provided he accept the appointment.
This will be as it ought to be, and this will be
the appropriate way for the United States, as
nation, to sympathise'' with the movements of
his Holiness in re-establishng civil and reli-
gious liberty in sunny Italy BY sending an am
bassador from this country, we place the govern
ment of the Pontiff on the same footing as
we do the most powerful and influential European
government; and by appointing Chief Justice
fancy such ambassador,w we pay his Holiness, in
dividuay, a compliment which he cannot fail to
appreciate. This eminent jurist is known
throughout the world as one Of the profoundest
men of the age. To select him, and make him
ambassador from free and enlightened repub-
lie, Boosting of civil and religious liberty, in
the broadcast sense, to one who is endeavorlng to
establish both, in country where they are only
remembered, not experienced, is indeed com
phment Of no ordinary kind, and will no doubt
tend to draw closer the bond of sympathy be-
tween the two countries.
This is the only proper way of testifying our
sympathy with the Pope, and much better one
an adopt resolutions and make fulsome
speeches at the Tabernacle, at meeting got up
by parties who don't care fig for the Pope, or
anybody else, provided they can make some in
dividual capital out of the movement.

PRoaRKss OF THE ELECTRIC TKLxoRArH.-
The electric telegraph is making rapid progress
in this country, both on Morse's plan and on
Houses. II is expected to be completed as tar
west as St. Louis, Missouri, in few days. It
is also making great progress down the Mlssis-
sipp, and probably in a few months we shall nave
two lines between New York and New orleans;
one by the way of the Atlantic, through Mobile,
and the other by the way of the Mississippi val
lev, through Pittsburg. This latter line Will
probably be the more valuable, as 1t VIII pass
throuph n greater number of cities and towns on
its wav. than the other. Lines as far South
Charleston or Augusta, will be ready in very
short time. There is also "a new line, which
will be ready in few weeks, between NewYoYk
and Philadelphia, constructed on Houses plan,
and chartered by the State of New Jersey part
of the way. 1t will be taken across the North
river at point between Fort Lee and Fort
Washington; and we understand the wires were
put up a-few days ago, and resisted the peltngs
of the storm, The other night, remarkably well.
There Is to be permanent erection of two iron
towers, with masts or polls on them, elevated
to sufficient height When this new company
have completed their arrangements, we shall
then have two telegrapnic lines between this
city and Philadelphia, and very soon two be-
tween New York and Washington. The tele-
graph on Houses plan, indicates letters directly,
and not through the medium of signs. There is
some difficulty, we believe, between the proprie-
tors of the patent rights; but with that the public
has nothing to do. The companies can settle it
among themselves and those interested.
The electric telegraph will soon revolutionise
the world, and produce political and social effects
on this country which no one can have any con-
ceptlon of at this day At this moment, we I'M
derstand, the police department of this city are
commencing a system of electric telegraph for
the whole city, to be under the superintendent
of that department, in the City Hail. BY this
system, instantaneous information can be CON-
municated from one part OF the city to the other,
on every matter relative to the peace, quiet, and
comfort Of the inhabitants. 1t will be most
valuable improvement in The city government
