tirely to exclude the light Of this great miracle
OF science, Spain, like Norway, does not, when
this chart was prepared, appear to enjoy the
faintest glimmer OF it. We believe, however,
that since that time Maorid has been brought
into connection with the French frontier. The
Grccian Archipelago was also in a like state
Of aeclusion.
1t is surprising to contemplate the rapidity
with which, in the last few years, magnetic te-
legrsph lines have extended over Europe. For
instance, we see it stated that whereas France,
at the close of 1852, possessed lines covering
only 1900 miles, she will have, ct the close,
OF the present year, over 5000 miles in opera.
tion Europe contains some 80, 900 miles of te
legraph, the United States $4,000 miles, But
the triumphs Of the past few years in that res
pect appear small ard contemplate, in con-
trast with those which are reserved for the re
mainder of this decade. We need only indicate
the gigantic works that are projected, and which
few years will see realized, to cast into the
hade the fabulous exploits Of the gods and
giants of antiquity. First there is the c0ntem-
plated enterprise of connecting London with
Canton, or one of the other commercial ports or
China Then there il the other project of es-
tablishing similar teleeraphic connection with
Australia. 1t would hardly he believed at the
first blush that neither OF :hese undertakings
would necesstate the laying of more than four
hundred miles of submarine cable ia any one

whatever as to the feasibility Of laying down

tent of $50 miles in the inc across the Black

European continents bs submarine telegraph
extending from st. Johns, Newfoundland to

Atlantic, either by an independent line or by

TIE LEGISLATURE

Assembled at Madison Yesterday. We go
to press this morning Zoo early to have re-
ceived anything of the doings of the first
day, and we shall therefore have to wait I'M
til next week before we can give our read
ers any account of the dcings of the public
servants at the Capitol. AS Mr.. Sholes is
at present at Madison, we shall receive full
accounts of the organization and prelimina-
ry proceedings, for our next paper. Gov.
Barstow's Message will probably appear,
also. r bae
We have strong hopes that we shall be
permitted to give satisfactory accounts Of
the doings Of this Legislature. We believe
amajority ofits members are true men, fully
convinced of the necessity and Importance
of reformation in the legislative depart
ment of our State Government, and willing
to carry outsuch reform. They have seen d
felt The evil effects Of over-legislation, I'M
wise-legislation, and corrupt legislation, and
they know what is expected Of them, bv the
people who have sent them there. In re-
gard 10 the election of a U, S. Senator, this
winterwe think !heprospectisratherdubiou

llcan edi TORS are already expressing them
selves iniayor Questioning the election I'M

ability is that there will be some difference
ofoplnionas to who that man is. We think
ourselves that no man should be elected
whose integrity and iirmness has not been
fully 'ried, and proved. Better wait
awhile than send a Senator for six years,
who, although at present identified with
the Republican cause, would be unable to
Withstand the influences which soiourn
at Washington seems to exert. Still we
hope to see an election effected which the
people of Wisconsin will not have cause to
regret. ~, ~

he has found deposits in Sherburne, Stach-

purer than that in California, and worth
one dollarmor per ounce. In some places
was got fifty cents worth of gold from pan
of dirt, which would be considered more
than fair yield in the California diggings!
