ALTA TELEGRAPH LINE.-The second link Of
telegraphic communication is now in successful
operation between Sacramento and San Francis
co, via. Benicia, Martinez and Oakland. The
submarine cable has been strengthened and re-
laid by the superintendent, Mr.. Gamble, and is
now in fine working order; thus giving the citi-
zens of this place and other mountain towns,
direct communication with the Bay, ensuring
speedy transmission and prompt answers to all
telegraphic business Heretofore our steamer
reports have been delayed from four to six hours
in consequence of not connecting through. Now
we shall be able to receive the news at the same
time with the press in Sacramento, which will
undoubtedly be highly appreciated by our citi-
Zens.

ing officers were elected:
| President-IIenry Hare Hartly.
Superntendcnt-Jam Gamble.
