THE INFLUENCE OF THE UNITED
SrArEs.-The London Nems of the LIST
ult. opens long article on affairs in the
United States with the following para
graph. Ten years ago no English pa
per would have venturcd to announce
such liberal sentiments in connection
with our country.
1t is the custom of the most Of the
conservatives of Great Britain { and Of
some others than conservatives to sneer
and joke about the notion the Ameri-
cans have of their own Importance in
the world. There is no use in proving
to such satiris,s that, in the deepest and
largest sense, the Americans cannot ex-
aggeratc the importance of their coun-
try and nation among the powers Of the
nineteenth century. TIE thing has
been proved multitude Of times, and
all TO no purpose, in regard to that or
der of minds; and to higher order Of
minds than those which despisc the
United States, no proof is needed. To
say that there is federal demo ratio
republic at work in the world, is to pro-
claim, in other words, the lofty style
and title of the United States But, for
those who cannot see and feel this, there
is other evidence, new and curious,
which at once adapted to his capacity,
and worthy of the deepest consideration
from a more SPACIOUS order ofmen.

New TELEGRAPH ENTERPRISES

New TELEGRAPH ENrERpRIsE.-
The Sia'e Journal learns that the Alta
Telegraph Company have increased
their capital stock, and are about ex-
tending their line Of telegraph from it's
present northern terminus, Nevada, to
Forest City and Bonneville, and from
Diamond Springs, south to Volcano,
Mokelumne Hill, and by consolidation;
with the Calayeras and Amador, and
the Tuolumne line to Stockton, and
thence to San Francisco direct, con-
Meeting with Martinez, Benicia and
Oakland, and by submarine wire a.
cross the bay. BY this extension y
continued line will be formed from San
Francisco to Downieville and connect
ing the following places: Downievillc,
Forest City, Nevada, Grass Valley,
Auburn, Coloma, Placerville. Diamond
Springs, Mormon Island, Sacramento,
Volcano, Jackson, Mokelumnc Hill,
Columbia, Sonora, jamestown, Stock
ton, Benicia, Martinez, Oakland and
San Francisco. Thus placing the me-
tropoliS of the State and the Queen City
of the valley in instant communication
with all the principal points in both tho
Northern and Southern mines, and witt
Benieia and other points below, which
is an important disidcratum.
From the Sacramento Union We
have the following additional inierma-
ton regarding the enterprise:
"The whole extent of the line, when
completed, will be about three hundred
and eighty miles, with twenty-one sta
tons to furnish business. A submarine
wire is to be extended across the bay
from Oakland, above any point where
the anchoring of vessels will be likely
to interfere with it, and also another
submarine wire across the bay from Mar
tinez to Benicia at Government Point.
The contractors, Mcssrs. Strong &
Wood, of Sacramento, agree to COM
plete the whole line within one year
The materials have already been order
ed from the Eastern States, and the
work along the entire route is to be
commenced Immediately. 1t is con-
6dently expected that the portion of tha
line between Stockton and Columbia
will be in operation in January next"
