TELEGRAPH LINES TO THE PAcrrrc--Tbe e.
tablisbment Of an overland mail route to the
Pacific, 20 auspiciously insugurated within the
las, few weeks, becomes an event Of increased
importance in connection with Simultaneous en-
terprises for the laying down OF telegraph lines
to connect New York with San Francisco. A
great impetus was given to this idea in the latter
city by the reception Of the news announcing
the laying Of the Atlantic cable, which event
wac TO be publicly celebrated there. The enthu-
sissm will be, Of course, considerably dampcncd
by The further intelligence Of the partial failure
Of the Atlantic telegraph but tina. will have no
effect in stopping the work Of connecting the
Pacific and Atlantic States by Geographic wires.
The California Legislature passed an act In
March, 1858, incorporating the Pacific and At
lsntic Telegraph Company. That company has
since been organized, with capital stock Of
s350.o00, OF which $4,000 l. 10 be expended

LOSSES ~ SHIPwRECK.-The record Of marine
losses for the first nine months of this year ex-
hibits very considerable diminution from that
of the same period in 1857, both in the number
Of vessels and the value Of property. Probably
this is owing to the fact that greater caution is
exercised in the management Of steamships, or
that ocean navigation generally is better under
stood by our seamen. The Atlantic, we are led
10 believe, has been more tempestuous, violent
gales have been more frequent, than in any pre-
vious year; yet the number Of vessels lost since
the commencement of this year was little more
than half that of 1857, and the amount Of pro
perry lost bears the same proportion. From
Jan. 1 to Oct 1, 1857, the number Of vessels lost
bound to and from United States ports was
AS, and the total value $l4,75s,300. For the
same period this year the number Of vessels lost
was only 229, and the total value $6,848, 1891,
which includes the unfortunate Austria, valued
at $500, 900.
While this Improvement is very gratifying.
there is much more to be done, both by in
dividuals and by government, to guard against
marine disasters The governments of England,
France and Holland have recently adopted Get
Of signals with view to prevent collisions at
sea, and Congress should follow their example,
for safeguards Of this kind, in order to be truly
useful, should be universal. There is another
duty which Congress should perform in this con-
nection. II is well known that the American
merchant marine is miserably deficient in able
seamen Most Of our vessels are manned either
by landsmen or by foreign seamen, who. rs
general rule, are careless and reckless
class Of men, many Of them half ignorant of the
language, and nearly all Indifferent as to the
safety OF the ships and their cargoes. We want
class OF thorough seamen for the merchant
service, and If we had them there would
be less shipwrecks, and there would be no neces-
sity for impressing men and forcing them on
board ship, as was attempted by shipping mas
ter the other day on one of our own wharves.
Congress should pass law compelling all our
national war vessels and merchant vessels to take
certain number Of boys as apprentices the num-
Der to be regulated in proportion to their arma-
ment and their tonnage. BY this system we
would have fine force Of able seamen in few
years, ready for any emergency which might arise,
and always at hand for our merchant marine SER
vice, where they are now so greatly needed.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1858-10-18

otanics, the expense must be pretty onerousL
Nearly two hundred thousand dollars must be
spent by that class annually on these displays.
and Of late We have been growing more extravar
giant in our ideas. Some time ago visit to
ntghbOring town in our own State was an event;
then our military and firemen's visits extended
as far as Washington; but now we go to Canada,
and fire companies visit us from Chicago II il
now no uncommon thing to charter big steam
ship for an excursion to Richmond or the national
capital, and one regiment of New York militia Is
actually preparing to visit Ireland, while some
Of our fire companies contemplate visit to
France and England. These facts show what
extravagant habits the Americans are acquiring.
However, these celebrations circulate the money,
and it is all very well until the next panic
comes.

JEREz AND HIS MIssIoN.-A DIPLOMATIC Conf
DENCE MAN.-General Cas- has at length, in
very summary and effective manner solved the
difficult diplomatic problem of which Senior Jerez
was the monitor. The Senior, it is known, came
to Washington several months ago, and repre-
scented himself as being fully commissioned by the
government of Nicaragua to settle all the pend
ing difficulties between the two governments, to
ratify the Cas- Yrisarri treaty, and to make all
due apology and reparaton in the Belly affair.
Wen, his PLAUSIBLE manner and statements pro-
cured him some sort of recognition in the State
Department; and ever since his arrival We have
had daily accounts from Washington Of the
varying phases Of diplomacy which the negotia-
ton from time to time assumed. All this time
a great point was obtained by the Nicaraguan
government in the fact that delay was gained
and that matters were not driven to eytremities
1t was hoped that something might turn up from
the diplomatic visit OF Sir Gore Ousely, and from
The operations of Monsieur Belly, which would
favor Nicaragua and enable it to force its modif-
cations of the Cass-Y risarri treaty on our ac-
ceptance.
Senior Jerez, having so far succeeded in i'm
posing on our government as to have had a semi
official recognition thought he could carry on the
deception little further, and undertook instead
Of ratifying the Cas- treaty. as he at first
proposed, to press the modification thereof on the
acceptance of our government II was then that
he revealed his real character, in the shape of a
diplomatic confidence man, asserting that he had
no power to ratify the treaty. In this apparent
dilemma the President acted promptly. He dis
missed the pretended ambassador, and announced
his determination not to be bamboozled any
longer by such means, but to take prompt mea-
sures to bring Nicaragua to her senses.
