The SUBrERRANEAN TELEGRAPH To THE PA
cIFIC-The House Of Congress has passed the
bill authorizing an underground telegraph to be
laid to the Pacific, having first stricken out the
provision which gave the contractors two mil
lions of acres of land to build it. The bill
only gives the right of way over the public
lands Of the United States, and extends the
laws of the States States over the Inc for
protection. Whether the bill will be accep-
table in this form OF not, is not stated. If it
is, two years is the time allowed to complete it
and put it in operation. Col Benton says the
Digger Indians will pull up the wires to make
hooks to catch lizards This is no doubt a
risk to which the line is liable, but the pro-
jectors say they are ready to meet this diff
Guilty and settle it. II they can 90 ahead and
build the line with no other aSSistSuce from the
Government than the bill gives them, they
ought to be rewarded for their perseverance,
It Will be a great undertaking and very i'm
portant one. Just imagine a daily commu-
nication between the atlantic cities and San
Francisco, with two thousand miles of viii
dcrness between them

MEETING OF OLD SErTLERs-A meeting of
the Pioneers of the Susquehanna Valley, and
their descendants, will be held at the Ah-wa-ga
House in Owego, on Thursday the 22d of Feb
ruary Several of these re-unions have already
been held to the great enjoyment of the parti-
cipants. We anticipate for the coming one, an
attendance equal to the interest Of the subject,
and that its proceedings will be worthy of the
fair and fertile country whose early history is
connected with so much of romance. Several
of those are expected to be present, who first
settled in this region, when it was the favorite
hunting ground of the red man, and of whose
trials and dangers and sufferings their descen-
dants can have but feeble conception. Their
presence will lend an additional interest to the
occasion, while from their experience much in
formation may be gained of the early history of
the country watered by the Chemung and the
SuSquehanna.

gsg~ The following testimonial has been hand
cd us by the County Auditors, which we pub
lish as an act Of justice to the persons interes-
ted
"The undersigned, Auditors of the County
Of Bradford, having finished their labors for
the present year. feel that it is due to the Com
missioners Of said County, that they should tes-
tify to the economy and prudence with which
they have conducted the public business as is
abundantly shown by the diminished eXpcndi-
lures during the past years, and the large
amount now remaining in the Treasury, afford
ing the taxpayers certainty of reduced taxes.
They have also been much gratifed by the
correctness with which the accounts Of the
County have been kept by the Commissioner
Clerk, E. NJ FARRAR, and the promptncss aud
fidelity with which he has transacted the re-
sponSiblc duties Of his position"

truth is, the fault of Northern character is

MR.. PEABODY.

The New York Herald's London CORES
pondent gives pleasant account of the BAN
quet given by Mr.. Peabody to the Americans
in London on the 4th of July, short sketch
of which we gave yesterday. Some two
hundred Americans were present, among
them Mr. Fillmore, who, in accordance with
our wretched American custom, which VIII
not let man enjoy himself at a public DIN
ner in peace, was compelled to make speech
on the occasion. The festivity was one IN
which hilarity and harmony reigned trl'
umphant. There were no elements of dis
cord at this festival, as on the last anniver-
sary, to turn joyous hour into bitterness
Mr.. Peabody is true American, and de-
serves the kind regards of his countrymen
for the spirit with which in distant land he
celebrates our national anniversary and the
elegant hospitality he dispenses to Ameri
cans.
