THE AMERICAN TELEGnAPH.-Thi is the title
of a new daily paper recently issued in Wash

received tits published by Messrs. CONNOLLY
WMER 8 MoGLL The Telegraph is conducted
upon the sale system of the more popular
Northern papers. 1t manifests much editorial
ability, and fine taste in its typographical ar
rangement. An intimate acquaintance with the
last two named in the firm, and the reputa-
ton of the first, warrants us in expecting from
their joint labors valuable acquisition to the
Washington press. Mr.. Winner wields ready
and chaste pen, and Mr.. Connolly has been for
some years favorably employed in the editorial
field in Virginia. The experience of many ad-
yenturers in similar enterprises in Washington,
where foreign journals of like description
have almost engrossed the patronage legiti-
mately belonging to n home penny press, must
naturally impart to the projectors of the Tele-
graph due degree of distrust; but this will be
only the proper temper to good metal; and
though the odds may be still heavy, we allow
ourselves to expect, and most strongly hope, to
see the valiant sabres of our friends triumphant

SPONGE TRADE OF KEY WEST. The sponge
trade is creating quite sensation in our midst
A large number of our citizens are engaged in
procuring it, and are reaping a handsome re-
ward for or their labor The sponge is cured and
brought into market, and sold to our merchants
for New York consumption, where they are
manufacturing beautiful article of cloth from
1T. The discovery was only made some six
months ago that it was valuable for such pur-
pose; and now the article commands, in this
market, from ten to twelve cents per pound ;
and first-rate article, well cured and attended
to, will bring even more. There is always a
demand for it, and it would not surprise us to
see it, at no distant day, one of the principal
commodities of our section.--Key Vest Gazette.
