I5Mr. T. P. Shaffner, the agent of the
Atlantic and New Foundland Telegraph
Company, has obtained a patent for the con-
struction of a line of telegraph from the coast
of North America, via Greenland, Iceland
and the FarOes, to Norway and Denmark
This route, we understand, does not involve
the necessity of laying any submarine wire
for more than 500 miles in any one section,
and on that account will probably supersede
the line proieetedtoihe coast Of Iceland from

Hemp.

The Lexington Chronicle of the Dist ult.
says: From the most accurate accounts
within our reach, the hemp crop will by no
means be as short rs has been predicted.-
1t is not unirequentiy that we hear farmers
speaking exultingly of their hemp; and as
an instance, Mr.. James r. billiard informs
us that he has stalks of hemp in his crop
measuring thirteen feet. The msgivinrs
as to the quality of the lint have also proved
unfounded. Farmers who have Waterfront
ted hemp Cor the purpose of testing it, re-
port the lint to be of good quality. Alto
gether, we think our farmers have been
more scared than hurt. The anxiety felt
by farmers short time since in relation ia
hemp seed, is now pretty we'll removed
Mr.. Lawson Smith sold the past week, one
hundred bushels at So per bushel, and we
learn that many of our farmers will have a
large surplus. 1t is prophesied, by those
who are competent to Judge, that hemp
seed can be bought next spring at one dol
lar per bushel.

Inc London Times thus reviews the Rus

failure -
without fighting single general action,
without encountering powerful enemy IN
the field, in the most favorable season Of the
year, and on line of operations chosen and
prepared by themselves the Russian campaign
on the Danube in 1854 has proved one of the
most calamitous and disgraceful in the milf
tary annals of any great European power;
for, as they were unable to force the line of
the Turkish fortresses against the native gar
risons, while the invading army was fresh and
entire, it became impossible that they should
retrieve their losses and their discontinue
sufficiently to resume offensive operations
against far moro powerful antagonists. Prince
Pashkiewitsch, Gen. Schilders, and Gen.
Luders, who were the ablest officers in com
mand, have all received wounds which re-
move them from the field. The losses of the
army since ii entered the Principalities, are
credibly stated at upward of $4,000 men. The
confidence of the troops and the pride Of the
nation are shaken and cast down. Not only
is Little Wallachia evacuated and the Danube
crossed, but the works of the Russians at
Giurgevo are abandoned, aud the Russian
forces have retired from Bucharest. If We
compare the magnitude of the invading army
with the slender and imperfect forces opposed
to it-thc boosted power Of Russia with the
weakness of Turkey, and the arrogance of the
Imperial Court with the humiliation it has
now to endure-we cannot but call to mind
the impious appeals of the Gar to the just
Judgment of Heaven, which has already dis
sipated his armies and COMPOUNDED his ambi-
