THE TELEGRAPH TO 1nntA.

Tho nr's"cin,i"n proposes 10 establish
trl"grnphic communicated from Alexandria 10
Suez by land. nnd from Surz to Alden, nnd then
to kurrnclce by n submarine cable The dis.
tnnce from Alexandria To S,,rz Is 2io miles from,
Sucz TO Alden und from Alden to kurrnchcc, the
length of cable required will be no less thnu
L. G3 miles, divided into sections, none Of which
arc to exceed 500 miles. IN lcn'h The expenses
of the whole undertaking from Alexandria to
kurrnchc with liberal allowance for cou,iupcn.
cics, is estimated ns being At the mos, G70O, 900
The association also calculates that the time
for constructing md laying down the cable, da-
ting from the period the nmuacturc commences
TO tho actual opening of the communication,
will not exceed eight months to Alden, and four
additional months TO Knrrnchee.
1t has been assumed that the extensive coral
reefs in the Red Sen present insuperable obstn
cles to u submarine telegraph; but from a most
careful survey of the coast OIL either shore. it
has been ascertancd that the cable can be laid
beyond the line of coral, except where it is me-
cessary to approach one two stations, and
even at those places the reefs it is believed can
always be avoided by careful soundincs.

Indispensable to the organization of the under

AWFUL POISONING CASE IN PIKE!

| THIRTY SEVEN roIsoNED-sIv DEAD-A TERRIBLE
EErRIBurIoS!
One of the subscribers from Pike county, in.
| formed us yesterday of most horrible and afro.
cious case Of poisoning in that country lust be.
low the line Of Montgomery, md in the ncinl-
| borhood of Bruceve. The annals Of crime will
| hardly show more extensive AID diaLolical
| piece of villany.
| 1t seems that u German. or hungarian, whose
name our informant had forgotten, was on init
mate terms with negro woman, the property of
old Mr.. Thomas Frazcll, Ole Of the earliest set
tiers of Pike. This man had once been in the
| employ of Mr. F., and was fumiliar with his
premises Some time since, he had been de
tected in gambling with Mr.. F.'s negroes, and
Mr.. +. had instituted q prosecution against
him. On Saturday evening. lah inst, lie was
seen in conversation with the negrc woman allu.
ded to, at tho well, although he had received
orders from Mr. Frazcll never to como nhout his
premises.
On Sunday, there were some t,irt v seven per-
| sons dining al Mr.. Frazel's house, of whom
about thirty were visitors from the eighborhood
All these became sick after eating, vomiting
violently; and the cook being arrested immedi.
ately, on suspicion of poisoning, at once pro-
ceedcd TO state as follows: She said that the
white man above referred TO, while at the we'll.
had given her vial containing arsenic, which
he instructed her to nngc with the meal the
milk, the butter and the coffee" lie was par.
tlcuiary desirous that it should 20 into ecerv ar
ticle of food, because old Mr. Fruzell was in deli
cate health, and generally ate very sparingly.-
The negro woman said she followed the direc-
tons Of her lover to the letter-who, by the way.
added to his Instructions the remark, that "aftcr
the old man had taken that, lie would hardly
prosecute HIM IN that case.'
Ihe poison was administered, ns VIC hayeseen
but too successfully. The whole assemblace of
persons Were put under its influence: and al
the last accounts six had died from its effects
Old bir. Frazeli died about sun set of Sunday
the day of the poisoning. His overseer's wife
and two children; Mrs. Cloud a widowed
daughter OF Mr. F.; and F.'s grand daughter
died the next day. Several Others were lying
III critical condition, and doubtless there will
be more victims of this awful fiendsi crime.
Mr. Jack Frazell. son of the old man, hap.
Pened to be out of meal, on the day of the poi
soning, and sent to his fathers and borrowed
bushel. All who purtook of this, including a
brother who had declined to cat at his fathers
having come in after some of the company had
got slck-were more or less affected.
After we had written the above. our infor.
mant. Dir. j. NJ. Johnson, of Pike, called on us
again, and give the name of the poisoner, which
is Comiska. Mr. j. further states that the in
iuriated people OF the neighboshood have burnt
the negro woman, and will perform the same SER
vice for Comiska on next Monday. In the
meantime he issafely lodged in Jail at Troy. He
neither denies nor admits anything ng-Fyon, the
