OCEAN TELEGRAPHIc CoMMUNIcATroN.-Mr
Walsh, the Paris correspondent of the New York
Journal Of Commerce, in a recent letter TO thai
paper, says:
en-. Babinet, the distinguished savant of the
Academy OF Sciences, has furnished an article en-.
titled astronomy in 1852 and 1853 It is such as
might be expected from his ample knowledge and
facility in popular calculation of scientific subjects;
the sketch is comprehensive, simple, and pleasant
like the mind and spirit of the eavant; he records
the discoveries of planets and comets, and indi-
Gates the improvement and value of the great tel.
e5copee, among which he has not failed to mention
honorably that Of Cambridge, Massachusetts, He
observes: Sat this time the Americans are mea-
suring their vast territory under the direction OF
Professor Bache, great grandson of Franklin; and
the work is worthy Of people occupying nearly a
continents population nearly equal now to that
of France, and which may be above hundred
millions in 1890 He adds that since the electric
telegraph has been employed in the United States
for the determination Of lon itudes that admirabe
apparatus can be considered real instrument
OF astronomy. But he proceeds thus:
"'fhe idea OF extending electric cable con-
Meeting Europe and the United States. across the
whole Atlantic, appears to me to be attended with
insuperabie difficulties. The only route by which
the two worlds can be connected Geographically is
to pass by Behring Straits, which, with the islands
that divide it, presents greater impediments for
a submarine cable than the British Channel

well, no mean authority, stated his impression of
the feasibility of the ocean communication, and
his sanguine expectation of it's accomplishment
ere long, He calculated that the receipts from the
nessage by the wire would be G9, l50 per day,
which would give a handsome. surplus over the
working expenses at the end of the year. -

FoRTY-oNE MONTHS HENoE.-The flow of the
de of emigration from East to West is we'll Illus
trated by Governor Ramsey, in what he says Of
the change that has taken place in the forty-one
months that have transpred since he fret saw ST.
Paul In the future forty months still greater
changes will occur. The wave of emigration that
has followed wave has heretofore mainly spent it's
force on Michigan, Indiana, and Eastern Illinois
and Eastern Wisconsin. The Mississippi is soon
to be approached by several lines of railroads from
the East, and each will then pour in thousands
upon thousands of hardy emigrants, who other
wise would not have come to seek homes on its
xerdant slopes An immense track of the most
valuable portion ofthc United States has hardly yet
been trod by the foot of white man. This remark
will not apply go well forty months hence, for be-
fore that time arrives emigrants will have been
pouring in at q thrice tenfold ratio, and their
labor will have made ssthe wilderness to blossom
as the rose" There is no Imagination in this
The effect will follow from legitimate cause.
Men with their families and wealth will be able to
pass, by a cheap, safe, and easy means of transit
from almost any portion of the country east of u.s.
to this heathf1l, varied, and delightful region
without danger, without exhaustion of body,
disappointment of mind. They will thus be more
fully prepared than they have heretofore been to
meet with better advantage the difficulties of set
