THE TELEGRAPH THROUGH MEXICO.
We mentioned some time AGO that Mr.. j. A. Doyle,
an entorprsng Young gentleman had left this city for
San Bias with lie intention of making the journey
through Mexico TO Vera Cruz with an eye TO the es'
tabishment Of overland express from the Gull to
tie Pacific in time TO connect with the CLEANERS on TINS
coast bound TO San FrancscO and those on the Gulf
running TO New Orleans. Mr.. Doyle returned from
Lis tour of observation the last steamer, and gives
highly favorable report OF the pracucabllty OF ms
enterurise Tie port of MaDZanla, IN the state OF
Cona will hereafter be the intermediate depot of the
| Nicaragua steamers between San Francisco and san
Juan. 1t is Mr. Doyes idea TO run an express across
| tle country from Manzanle 10 Vera Cruz and back
again. THIS can be done without difficulty in five days.
The road the whole way il in excellent order, not only
for courors but he reports that an express wagon can
! be driven over II without the slightest dfiiculiy.
Should he carry his project into operation the trip
| from New. Orleans TO San Francisco can easily be
made in thirteen, allowing for contingencies not
now forcseon in fifteen days al the outside This will
give liz news from the Atlantic cities IN from eight TO
ten DAYS in advance of the malls. But even if only
three or four days time gained by this arrangement
it will be Of incalcuable service TO our community
The recent bank failures here and OF the East wigVe
an il stance of the value OF such an prsss Miny OF
/ our business men would very willingly have given
large eums could they have obtained news of these
disasiers even day In advance of the news brought
/ by way of Panama and Nicaragua There are often
! MISUNDERSTANDING out of our connection with the
Eastern markets and the complication OF our business
transactions with Eastern merchants and capltaiss-
| in which dispatch is of the utmost Importance In
hl fny
and We are surprised that some of our enterprsng and
fareeeing Express Companies do not enter at once
heartily into tie project. That Company which first
undertakes will distance all competition in the trans
hi sion of news and important correspondence. There
is no serious difficulty TO defeat the arrangement.
A business man in New York wishes to communicate
an important fact to his partner, we will say, IN San
Francisco He olegraphs TO his correspondent IN
New Orleans, who dispatches the Information by one
Of the excellent steamers now running to Vera Cruz
The tine usually occupied in making the trip across
the Gulf TO the latter place s three days; thence by
the overland express to Manzanlo in five days, and
thence by the Nicaragua steamers to San Francisco IN
/ five days more-naking but thirteen days from port
TO port and by means OF the telegraph Dnt thirteen
DAYS from New York any other eastern city to San
Francisco. Nor is this all: other measures have been
taken TO reduce tie time s further and II is conf
IDENTIFY expected that Newiork will be able 10 COM
muncae with San Francisco III eight days, before the
lapse Of many months. The telegraph Is now COM
plcted from Vera Cruz through the city of Mexico TO
/ Leon on the w0y TO San Bias. Col. Stewart, who is
tie proprietor OF Inc me, nus recently ictuIheu W
Mexico from the United States, snd is now at work
extending the line of telegraph from Leon to Mama
Milo q distance OF not more than one hundred aud
| sixty or one hundred and eighty miles,
| II will be completed in few months and then there
will be instant Communication between Vera Cruz
(only three days distant from New Orleans) and Man.
zanio, only five days from San Franc sco-relucing
the time from city TO city TO only eight days-a gain OF
fourteen or sixteen days the time now made be
tween the two places. 1t is difficult to oyerestimate
the value of such Dispatch not only to the press and
through ii to tie reading community at large but TO
business men on both sides of the continent. We re-
commend Mr.. Doyles enterprise 70 the hearty support
Of our citizens He has resided for some time in Mex
co.'s familiar with the country, the language and the
habits Of the people and possesses the energy neces
sary TO carry out his plaEs. San Francisco Herald.
/ IMPORTANT TO THE CREDITORS OF ADAMS Co..
! The State Tribune of yesterday says
1--WE are informed by Wells, Fargo Co., VINO re-
ceved il from their agent at Auburn that on Saturday
the Sheriff of Placer County by order OF the Court,
paid out the sum of S6,f95 ia treasure attached by
him some time since as the property of Adams n Co.
! The money was distributed among those who held
executions against the late banking firm. This Is
very important proceeding on the part OF the Court
and will cause some dissatisfaction among many of
the creditors Of Adams Co., but it is nothing
than Justice. So much of the assets of the
are gone sure and the prospects of those obtaining
