the sudden colonization of California having
quickened the public mind respecting the plan
previously published by the undersigned for ex'
tending the Telegraph to the Pacific coast the at
tention of the Federal Government is now re-
specially invited toward the propositions in the
Memorial which Senator from Illinois the
Chairman of the Committee on Territories pre-
scented on his behalf at a former session.

six thousand miles Of Telegraph already con
structed, under the arrangements OF the under
signed in the FIRST Division of the Atlantic
and Pacific Telegraph Range" EASTWARD of the
Mississippi-lines constructed amid difficulties
probably unparalleled in the history of any simi
lar enterprise may indicate to Congress whether
the undersigned would now propose any lmPrac
ticable plan for completing the comparatively
short section of two thousand miles between
Missouri and California.

period he prefers to continue that reliance upon
hin fellow citizens, individually being We'll
