The Electric Telegraph I'm India.

III,
We have received copy Of DR.. O'Shaughnessy's
first report the operations of the electric tee.
graph department. in India, from the LIST Of Febrn-
AIRY 1865 TO the 3lst OF January, 1856. The volume
is so full OF tabular statements, maps and plans,
that II Is not very easy to describe it. The reason
for not carrying the report farther back is given by
DIR. O'Shaughnessy in the Introductory letter-name
ly, that the reports and documents previously pub
lished by order of the House of Commons give
sufficient information the subject up to the time at
which the report before us commences The t3tal
number of dispatches transmitted for the twelve
months included in the report was 1871, Of which
1858 were private, and LABS public service des-
patches. OF these, as might be expected, by far
the greater part was between Bombay and Calcutta,
and Bombay and Madras, showing that the arnmer
cial intelligence received by mail either from Europe
or China Is what gives the chief employment TO the
telegraph. OF the paid messages. no less than 1854
were sent by native correspondents. The superin
the future income of the department will increase
far beyond all our anticipations. While the Euro
pean community are comparatively very limited
class, the native merchants, bankers. fundholders
The number Of native correspondents is accordingly
increasing daily Not only do they the lines for
hroraiai business, but on the most delicate and Sc
cret matters affecting family arrangements, be.
which they treat with an absence Of ali oiguise
which is almost beyond belief" The receipts have
averaged companys rupees l0,0S9 IL per month";
of this the Calcutta office alone returns monthly
patches being estimated at the same rate, DIR.
OShaughnessy thinks the whole value of the
work done in the year is not less than two
laos Of rupees. This is very encouraging, for
there be no doubt that when the whole line has
acquired public confidence, by being found invaria
bly, punctual and accurate the business will vastly
Increase. At the commencement Of such q vast
enterprise some failures and dsappointments were
unavoidable, but they have been fewer than might
have been reasonably expected in country liable to
such severe storms, aud where the lines have in
many instances been carried through forests or
across torrents. The Doctor expresses no small sur
prise that the SantaIs did not cut the line, as he
says, " believe such an escape has never occurred
ances." The fact is that the Santals are utterly
incapable of comprehending the use to which the
line is applied, and probably regard it an offering
to the gods, which it would be impious and danger.
Gus to NEEDLE with. Terrible as are the thunder
storms which prevail nearly all India, the pre-
cautions taken to prevent injuries to the Offices or
persons employed have proved completely success.

TIE News FROM CENTRAL AMERICA BY TIE
TENSEssEE.-Further news received by the
Tennessee strengthen tho opinion that Wal
ker'S position is desperate one indeed.
All Nicaragua is against Walker, and every
power in Central America is equally hostile to
him. If he rules in Nicaragua he will not
only have to conquer it, but all of the Central
American States.
At the time the steamer left, his forces con
sisted of the 400 men under Hsnningsen, be
sieged in Granada, of the $50 men under Col.
Jacques, who were garrisoning Virgin Bay,
and of 100 at the two forts Of Serapiqui and
Fort COllis-in all $50 men This is all that
is left him out Of over 5000 men who have
gone from this country to join his standard.
1t Is no wonder that the mortality has been
20 great in his army, for all accounts concur
IN representing him to have been most profit
gate IN his waste Of human life. He knows
nothing, and never would learn anything Of
the art Of war His sole tact,gue is summed
up in the order to charge. Eighteen months
ago he held possession Of the towns Of Granada,
Chenandega, Leon, Managua, Masjaya, Chon-
tales, San Jacinto, Rivas, Virgin Bay, &c.
And now his whole sway only extends over
the twelve miles Of the Transit route and the
river, where the posts are still open to attack.
His average loss of men since he went TO Mica.
Tagua has been some 800 per month. The
allied force that is opposed to him is not known.
1t probably amounts to some 5, 900 men. He
received recently reinforcements of $50 men
from New Orleans, and 30 from New York.

M. Editor Being naturally Of a retiring
disposition, dislike to come before the pub
lie but justice to my kind compels me to vio-
late my feelings. The inconvenience of cross
ing the Avenue now is severely felt by those
unfortunate individuals who have not the ex-
treme felicity of wearing hoops Since those
mighty harricades have been the " mode" a
crossing will accommodate only one at time;
and as they are almost always occupied, the
sterner sex are compelled to take the street.
AS winter approaches the annoyance and the
hoops increase. Now that the subject has
been brought to their notice, hope the city
fathers will take immediate measures for re-
lief. Yours, interestedly, OBSERVER.
