ATelegraDh around the Globe,

The London newspapers, elated with the
success of the Dover and Calias telegraph,
are discussing the possibility of extending a
magnetic wire from England to Calcutta: and
some of them even go so far as to recommend
the establishment of communication Ia
Morse, with New York itself 1t is urged
that this latter enterprise Quixotic as it may
appear at first, is in reality only a question of
time and money, for that if doubts exist of the
practieability of sinking wires in the Atlantic,
none can be entertained of the entire possibil-
ity Of effecting the connexion by the way of
Russia, Siberia, Behring Straits, Oregon, St
Louis and Philadelphia. The idea is grand
eG Pacific railroad. Should we live to the
ordinary age allotted to man, we may, per-
haps, ourselves, live to behold this gigantic
scheme carried out; and if we continue in the
craft editorial, may live to ask, before we go
to press, if the wires are working to Kamchat-
ka, and to ORDER on an affirmative reply, that
the news from London be sent us up to one
O'Clock. Our merchants too, may give dol
lar to clerk, telling him to forward mes
sage to Caicutta, and before dinner time the
answer viii be laid on his counting room desk
The old Egyptians thought they knew great
DEAL but how mummydom would have stared
at this! And those indefaigable Romans
who built costly roads over half the world, ,and
hurried messengers with whip and spur along
them, what staring there would have been if
they had heard the news of Parthian defeat,
a week in advance, by some private magnetic
telegraph! Itwas no uncommon thing, in the
Crusades, for good knight to be gone for years
without his family hearing syllable of him
but nowadays, if another Crusade was to get
up anxious wives might ask chow dye do''
by Telegraph, and receive a reply when the
doughty husband at the siege of Acre, stopped
to take dinner Wonderful times, these!-
Really, we don't think we shall ever be done
huzzaing for this nineteenth century.
