TELEGRArIs.-The HUMBOLDT Telegraph is
now in full operation between Genoa, Carson
Valley, and Placervile. A newspaper is to
be established al Genoa in few days. The
Oro Telegraph Company should endeavor to
extend their line to Honey Lake. 1t could be
accomplished, would those interested in the
line take the initiatory steps. The residents
of Honey Lake would. undoubtedly. extend a
liberal aid to the undertaking. Another sea-
son that valley will receive large additions to
its population, and the Press woald follow the
Telegraph, and thus display the natural ad-
vantages which that route possesses. If we
do not move in this matter, another season may
see the Telegraph extended to that place from
some point above.

Of Lecomptonite Cheek.

10 make a free confession, we will here re-
mark that among other idiosyncrasies with
which we are vested, is an irresistible desire TO
look upon rare and curious objects in natural
history. Wonderfully beautiful or wonderful
ly deformed specimens of animal or vegetable
creation, and things rank and gross in nature
command our eager attention We greatly

Cheek as sperm whale We were astound-
1 cd, aud disbelieved the assertion. That hu-
man being with such an enormous superabun.
dance Of facial development could possibly ex-
isi, struck US as being a physical impossibili,y.
/ Perhaps We were justified in forming this CON
clusion, even hastily but recent occurrences
inthe political world have induced us to re.
consider the matter, and by comparison Of IN
dividuals and the close inspection of peculiar
phenomena We have been persuaded that such
ttsus natura as our mariner friend made men
tion of does occasionally occur and make itself
mani est. We make these remarks as prepar
atory to the announcement that we have lately
had presented TO our mental vision, such start
ling samples of editor ial cheek as have not on
ly overcome our incredulty in the simile above
quoted, but to cause us TO entertain the opinion
that the comparison as between regular Le-
comptonite editor and an ordinarily sized and
symmetricaly proportioned sperm whales coun-
tenance, does marked injustice to the latter
The manner in which this popularity of our
Federalist friends is most palpabiy displayed
is in their strange bearing to Senator Douglas
of Illinois. That gentleman, whose Freepcrt
''hercsies 50 estranged him from the love and
esteem of his quondam bed fellc,rs and olI boon
companions, have, since the returns from Hi
nois have come in, been kindly forgotten, and
now do these quondam bcd-feows and old boon
companions of the Little Giant, swear renew d
affection for him, and siraightway exuIt that
he, heresies aud all, has triumphed over Lincoln
and the three thousand other sectionaliss
that arrayed themselves against him. Before
Douglas was completely read out of the party,
he has begun to BE- read back again Leaders
cut and dried and laid away ready to announce
in case of his defeat, that "Stephen Arnold
Douglas, as a just punishment for infamous
treachery TO the Administration and the DEM
ocratic party, has received fitting rcbuke,
and now his grovelling in the dust, clothed in
'sackcloti and ashes," have all been laid aside.
and in their place, and written by the same
pens, appear cringing laudations of the man
whose giant strength they fear.

article that We admire curositics. We do;
