A TEEEoRafH LINE TO SAN Francisco
The New York Journal of Commerce, speak
ing of the proposed telegraph from the Uni
ted States to Havana, says the company will
probably be organized in September, and
adds:
The distance from Key West to Havana
is'only seventy miles, and the cost of laying
the cable, it is said, will be about $500 a
mile. The cable will be of the " three thread
ed" pattern-that is, with three insulated
conductors. The Magnetic Telegraph Com
pany have agreed to build branch from Sa-
vannah, Ga, to Key West, so that at no
distant day New York can be put in tele-
graphic connection with Havana. The adj
yantages Of such line to shippers and ira
ders in New York and elsewhere are too
obvious to need pointing out.
The same company propose to run wires
IRON Havana to Cape Antonio, the extreme
westerly point Of Cuba; thence across the
channel to Yucatan, distance Of about forty
miles, where It will connect with line al
ready built to the city of Mexico. They
also propose to extend the wires from Yucca
tan to Fehuantepec on the Pacific, about four
hundred miles, and south from Tehuantepec
~ iHhdHh, dUoul cltNen hunureu miles,
passing through Nicaragua--thus affording
Geographic communication with the United
States and Cuba for the steamboat company
ofNicaragua, and to all ships that may choose
to send messages to those points.
Lastly, this company propose to construct
a line from Tehuantepec to Santiago. where
there is already line to San Francisco,
three hundred miles north. The distance
from Tehuantepec to Santiago is not far
from two thousand miles. The line will pass
through country pretty well settled.

There are undoubtedly evils in the North sur
passing the evil of slavery, even admitting
slavery to be as evil as they say; but in no
way or manner have we ever interfered with,
or concerned ourselves about them, until
forced by insult and injury to vindicate our
selves Then, all the actiue antagonism eX-
listing at present is chargeable to the North.
1t is possible for these two elements, naturally
antagonistic as they are, to live happily in
union; but it is not probable that they will
do so. 1t is plain from the course pursued by
the Southern States, that had like course of
non interference been pursued by the North
ern, the two sections would have continued,
as they begun, in unity and peace and it is
possible that by the constant commingling of
ages, their very inherent antagonism might
at last have died out Now to restore and
continue this union, it is necessary, not only
that the North must agree TO and secure US in
a speedy, final and equitable adjustment of
the slavery question in all it's ramfications
and bearings-but they must at once and for
ever cease all interf renee and concern in our
affairs. They may turn New England and
Ohio into the very worst pandemonium of
thieves and robbers, of puritans and murder
ers, and incarnate fiends with which man has
ever yet succeeded in marring Gods creation
they may howl and rant, and blaspheme,-
they may Danish churches, deny their God,
and yell against slavery, wine and marriage
they may turn their States into vast Free
love and Fourier Societies-and they may
reduce themselves in all moral and social
matters, to the level of the beasts of the fields
only let them not attempt to propagate
their damnable heresies among us.-only let
them let us alone-and they still may manu-
facture our cotton and carry our produce
But if they think still to continue as they
have been going on far the past thirty years,
they have widely miscalculated. With all
our superiority, natural and acquired, we are
not going to submit any longer to insult, in
jury and oppression from our interiors.

The FrIgate Susquehanna and the
british Officers at Port Royal.

The conduct of the British Naval officers at
Port Royal. on the occasion of the recent
stopping of the frigate Susquehanna at that
port with large portion of her officers and
crew suffering from tn" yellow fever in its most
virulent form. will attract, wherever it be-
comes known, the warm admiration and hearty
praise of the American people. and it is to he
hoped will through some appropriate action
on the part of Congress receive national ac-
acknowledgement. The Susquehanna arrived
ut that port with severty-live men down with
the yellow fever, the ship was, as described by
one of her own officers "a pest house." Such
IA visitation, at Il port in a climate where the
yellow fever is much dreaded enemy. was
sufficient TO excite the most selfish fears and
might have even justified the British officers
in avoiding altogether any communication
with the Inflated ship. But they took no
counsel of the natural dread incident to so a
farming a danger, listening only to the no.
best aud highest impulses. all that it was in
their power to do was freely offered, and the
active self-sacrilicing purpose with which their
good Offices were readerCd showed that the
