ianeense Teiegraphic Enterprise. We
learn from gentleman in the way of receiv-
ing authentic intelligence on the subject, that
a number IT gentlemen of this city largely in
terested in the telegraphic business, have a
project on foot to connect New York and San
Francisco direct by a line Of telegraph.
The plan is not yet fully matured, but when
perfected, it will embrace preliminary expe-
dltlon under the auspices and protection of
the government party, which is soon to start
on an engineering tour for the purpose Of lay
ing out (under the recent act Of Conoressl a
military road to the Pacific
The telegraphic party, which is to accom-
pany the military expedition, will probably
consist Of some forty or fifty persons, and will
be amply supplied with mules and camels for
the purpose Of crossing the continent with
safety and dispatch The party will start
from Omaha City in Nebraska, Ito be con-
nected by telegraph with St. LOUISE follow
the Platte river to the South Pass, and thence
direct across to San Francisco.
This Is an immense enterprise, and one
which requires large outlay of labor ano
capital Should it prove successful. and the
submarine telegraph be laid successfully in
July, London and San Francisco will be with
in haillng distance of each other, and the
quotations on change in the metronol;s of
Europe will be bulletned in the golden c;,,,
within an hour.-N. Y. Mirrtr.

Il Terrible Joke and BIunder.-The work.
men in planning mill at Neport, Kentucky,
last week, tied a rope around the neck Of one
OF their number who was drunk and noisy
by some means the end Of the rope caught on
the shaft, which was in motion. The poor
fellow, now sobered by fear, shrieked terribly
as he fonnd himself dragged towards the ma
chinery, and felt the rope tightening AROUND
his neck. One of TIE hands sprung forward
with kite, and severed the rope, but, in his
frightened haste, did it so bIunderingly that
he cut the unfortunate fellows throat, inf1ict-
ing deep cash from which the blood flowed
abundantly. The wound, fortunately, was
not fatal.

TO PAKENTs.-We copy the following
vholesome advice, torcibly expressed in the
last Recorder:
The scripture tells us that chose who SOW
to the wind shall reap the whirlwiBd," and on
this authority We think that many parents in
this town are sure to / visited with desolat-
ing hurric5mce Of sorrow in the future lives Of
Their children. No sensible being can deny
that permitting young and impressibe boys
TO roam at night about tho streets of a town.
with every temptation TO vice and diSsipation,
is but a sad way TO give a good character to
a child. But we would advise some parents,
who apparently doubt this, by giving their
youthful sons liberty to warder about after
dark, TO visit the post Office during the open
ing Of the mail, and hear the elaborate cursing
and swearing, and foul and shocking otscer-
lty which IS poured with wonderful readi-
hess and alarming proficiency from the lips of
Iic,r sons. There = ever something dreadful
TO bear such etiusion, from eyen men engre.i
jo profanity, and STEPPED in proh -acy; but
there Is a too painful want OF nature, corrupt
and bad as II Is, in such disgusting demon
stratlOn on the part of "A child So fresh from the
creative hand OF his God. Parents who con
tIyo at these exhibitions, by, allowing their
children to 90 out at night, are not only res
ponsfbie for the violated decency OF the com
munity, but will be held snswerable to a high
er power, whose punishment will be inflicted
IN the future worthleSsness and degradation
of their sons.

III Bad iSeH"-A factious Nrw York
correspondent of the Boston journal having
sent 10 that paper a statement that a large
party of Irish Catholics had attacked and
demolished the walls of Presbyterian church
IN New York, in the presence of al immense
crowd attracted to the spot by the deed, and
that no arrests was made, DC, clergyman
OF Lawrence Massachusetts, wrote to Mayor
Wood, inquiring into the matter, and received
the following reply:
Mayors Office, n. Y, April II, '57.
Dear Sir:-The statement made by the
correspondent Of the Boston Daily Journal,
and published in that paper, referred to in
your communication of the 9th ult., is gross
and malicious fabrication; no: one word of
truth Is contained therein
Had any attempt Of the kind been made
| should have used every resource in my
power TO prevent such dsgraeeful proceedings
and to preserve the peace and protect the
property of our citizens
Very respectfully, F. WooD, Mayor"
The church referred to by the correspon-
dent (who is understood to be an intimate
friend Of the Mayor's) was The much-taked-
OF "Old Brick Church" in Beekman street.
Government having declined purchasing it as
post office site, it has been torn down. (chief-
ly by Irish Catholics, We presume) to be re-

Improving The United States ArtUoy-
Tho board of officers which lately convened
at Fort Mcllenry for the purpose of revising
the light artillery tactics adjourned sine die
on Saturday last. Some important reforms
will be laid before the war department for
adoption, which are calculated to keep this
effective arm OF the service up to the modern
Improvements in the art of war. The great
revolution caused by the introduction OF the
Minnie rifle has rendered it necessary to give
to the light artillery much larger range
than formerly, which will involve the mount
ing of heavier metal for the batteries and an
increased number Of horses to each gun
The officers comprising the late board will
now repair to their respective commands, as
follows: Major Reynolds and Hunt, to For
tress Monroe, Va; Captain Phelps to Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas; Captain Barry to Fort
Hamilton, New York, whilst Major French
remains at Fort McHenry- Sun.

y MARROW ESCAPE OF TRAIS-A ca
tastrophe riydling that at the Des Jardens

day evening, at the Elrnvra bridge on the
Cleveland aud Toledo road 4 passenger
train consisting Of one baggage, one mail and
express car, one second and four first class pas

gers was going west. As tie train approach

above the level OF the water, the locomotive
ran over COW which threw 1t from the track.
II rushed over the bridge, the wheels Jumping
from cross tie to cross tie, but pro,ideutlally
not breaking through. After passing over
the bridge IT ran down a steep eInbaukment
after clearing the abulmcnt by a lew wards.
and tunibled over once or twice, Ioiur down

ling, shot ahead about a rod, and also pitched
clear over the dec!ilty. The baggage cars
followed it. sliding head foremost down the
embankmeut bringing up against a tree
The emlgrant car went over about half It's
length, without upsetting. The passenger
cars remained on the track, on the bridge; no
body was killed or seriously injured. The
bridge stood the terrible test, with wonderful
tirmness. 1t IS strange that the locomotive
did not rush against the side of the structure,
and thrush through, plunging tie whole train
into the river. Ii was truly narrow escape.
