TELEGRAPH MEErrNG-The reader will find
in our paper to-day the proceedings of the meet
ing held on Thursday evening, for the purpose
ofsecuring to this city the benefit of telegraph
ic communication with the balance of the I'M
ion. The committee appointed to solicit sub
subscriptions have been actively engaged, and
about 81, 500, of the $4,000 necessary 10 insure
Its completion, has already been subscribed
and we hope to have the pleasure in few days
of announcing that the whole amount of stock
has been taken. 1t is the intention ofthe com
Hlittee first to call upon every citizen, and
should they fail to receive subscriptions suffi-
cient, then to look cLsclrhcrc for whatever
amount may be necessary to complete the line
win they be compelled to go out of our grow
ing city for aid to this undertaking? Will moi
cur people at once come forward and take the
required amount of stock; for we can assure
them that, either with or without their help
the acOrk iciA be done. We hope that all viii
see the importance of this matter, and act with
liberality and at once.

GTThe Terre Haute Express notices that

sent better appearance than any city on the
river. We have the material for making {
splendid front to our city, and just the RICH
kind OF persons have undertaken the work t'
do it up as it should be. The work of grading
&c, will be commenced in April ,and it is con
templated to have at least t,ro, and very proba
bly, three, blocks ready for use this fall.

MORE LAUNDERING IN THE TREASURY DEPART
MENT.-We perceive that MIR. Walker has
made another important blunder in his figures.
He is making blunders all the time, almost as
great one as the President made in appoint
ing him to the Scholarship. The Alexandria
Gazette says:
We understand that it has been discovered
at the Treasury Department that there are on
p about three millions and half of Treasury
notes to be reissued, instead of five millions. az
was supposed when the proposals were invi-
ted. One million had been previously eneae.
ed by the Sta of Alabama, and half million
in other quarters, which the Secretary had
omitted 10 take into account when he made
his calculations of the amount reissurable.-
The discovery of this fact has caused an adj
vance in the market price of the notes.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, of the same date,
has the following on the subject:
We are apprised that the Secretary of the
Treasury has oversold the Treasury notes with
in his control, which turn ont to be but So.
100000, instead offs 100000. The effect of
this discovery is to strike off all the lowest
bids to the extent of 81 100000.

recent number of that able, influential and in
dependent paper, the New York Courier 9- En-
qutrer:
We say as we have said before, that, while
nineteen-twentieths of the Wings of this city
prefer Henry CLAY, to any body else for the
Presidency, yet very decided majority of them
knowing that he cannot be elected, are in favor
nominating Gen. TAYLOR. 1t is not that they
love CLAY less, but that they love the Wing
cause more.

We trust our Legislature will not separate with

In Civil Actions prepared by Messrs Graham,
Field and LOOMS as Commissioners under the New
Constitution and that all idea Of holding an Extra

pie will not patiently bear delay OF several months

no other than lawyers will choose to take the re-
