Telegraph to Galena.

The following letter appears in the Gale
ma Advertiser, in answer TO communlca-
ton from Mr.. Washburne, on the subject
of extending telegraph wires from 81. Lou

in instant communication wiia the Atlantic
cities.
Atlantic, Lake & Mississippi Telegraph.
St. Louis Telegraphery,
Dec. "a, l547.
Mr.. WAsHBuRSE, of Galena:
Dear .Sir:--In reply to yourinquiries, take
the liberty to refer you to the accompany
ing Circular respecting the line via Alton
and Chicago, and their circular of agree
ment is substantially like the one formed for
our lines generally, on the Atlantic, Lake
and Mississippi Range Of Telegraph. If
your felIow-citizens of Galena will move
promptly in the matter, and take stock to
the amount Of $1,000, las in other places of
less business no delay sill be made by me
in extending the lines so rs To include the
city Of Galena, in the Topographic Range,
by the route whereon adequate means shall
he most speedily secured for the construc-
ton Of the Line. The speed and manner
of extending the Lines, may be judged from
the progress of the Z" Atlantic, Lake and
Mississippi Telegraph" as far as this point,
(St. LOUISE As rhe route may be affected
by whatever may be done at Galena and
Quincy, &c., but especially by the action at
Gaena, il is respectfully suggested, that the
matter lie decided at the earliest practical
BILE moment hy the citizens of Galena.---
Whenever apprized, that All instalment Of
25 per cent on a subscription of $4,000 for
stock is made al Galcna, subject 10 the or
der of the undersigned, in the hands Of Frus-
tees, appointed by the subscribers I'LL per-
mancnt organization is effected) will make
arrangements, with all practicable speed, 90
have the Line (now going 10 AIlon) extend
ing upward towards Galena, before sweep
ed To the point Of conneSion with Lake
Michigan, and will see what other places
win unite with Galena, in aiding 10 have
the Line quickly extended nortbward Of
Jacksonville or Peoria, or other towns on
the routes now proposed for the Line. Ga
lena is so far norihward Of the route most
spoken of now, that il renders il desirable
for action to take place there with as little
delay rs practicable, before the main route
is finally decided. II your iellow-citzens
manifest equal interest with you, Sir, there
will not be much delay in the work.
Respectfully yours;

AHr AT "TuE UrRER TES THOUSAND. /"
The following conical idea appears to
have suggested itself TO Maj. Noah, while
he was comfortably seated in the New AS
tor Place opera-house the other evening:
In the midst of all the blaze of iewelry,
the rustling Of silks, the lasts of dress gen
orally among what il called our fashona-
blcs ut the opera, while dwelling their lorg-
neites at the singers and shouting brapG and
bravo, we have imagined what would be
their CONSERVATION it all the traps on the
stage were TO open al once and their dead
ancestors solemnly rise before them--the
shoemaker with apron, hammer and lap
stone--the carpenter with his adze--thc ba-
ker, with his meal--ihe butcher, with his
rump steak-and the hurkstcr, with her
basket of greens, carrots aud potatoes -
What shaking aud trembling there would
be among the silks, laces and ieathers--tho
tight erayats, white waistcoats, opera hats,
yellow kids. And when the spectres would
glare at them, mourntully shaking their
heads at the folly of their position, and point
ing in derision with their skinny finger to
the golden fretwork, painted dome, and
richly colorcd panels, dedicated to amuse-
ment, and IN the language neither of which
they understood, how cadaverous and crest
fallen would oil this taste aud fashion APP
pear And with different, a less eNclu-
sivc habit, how amiable IL would be.

tSJ- A young couple were sitting togeth-
err, undoubtedly in some romantic spot,
with birds and flowers around; al least the
reader is leil 10 infer that they had call
these means and appliances to boot" when
the following conversation ensued:
"My dear, IL the sacrifice Of life would
please YOU. most gladly would | lay il down
at thy iectr'
oh, sir, YOU are too kind! but Il just re-
minds that il would CRAFTY me by your dis
continuing the use of tobacco
"Cau't think oft. It's a habit TO which
avn welded"
"Very well, sir; since this is the way in
which you sacrifice your life for me, aud as
you are already redded 10 tobacco, i'll take
care that you are never welded to me also,
as that would be higauy.n

Not an M. D.

A somewhat curious error occurred in the
report of the doings of the City Council, which
we published in yesterdays daily. By the
use of D for M, we transformed Mr.. Hudson
into DIR. Hudson. Though friend Hudson can
put beautiful tint on to decayed furniture,
he has no idea of trying his luck in retouching
the human countenance with the hues OF
health, though he could find aooodea heads to
practice on. The doctors, therefore, need fear
no opposition from him.
N. B. If anybody has any furniture that
has got the rickets, we have no doubt, if they
call at CDR" Hudson Office, he will be able
to provide an efectual remedy.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
signing himself ga Republican Crusader, .
proposes to raise uniformed and hammered
committee of five hundred men, to proceed to
Paris, with an address of congratulation and
an offer of friendly aid to the people of France.
The editor of the Tribune thinks that the
committee would render more important SER
vice to the republicans of the old world if
they would strike out for some fertile and un-
occupied region, and so to raising wheat, to
feed the republican armies of Europe, in case
there should come contest between them
and their former oppressors. He think the
republicans in the old world can take care of
all the armies that the despots can send against
them, if they can only be supplied with pro-
vision and money.
