IELEGRAPH no INDIA-The long discus
. scd project of a line of telegraph to India TO
connect with the existing European has been
at length brought TO decision in favor Of
the route by the Red Sea. in preference to
that overland by way Of Constantihople and
the river Tigris. The encouragement to the
enterprise offered by the British government,
IS such as to leave no doubt OF the immediate
raising Of tho necessary capital, computed to
be about 100000 The company has al
ready issued its prospectus for raising the
necessary amount in go shares according
TO which the government has granted guar
anteo of - per cent. for so years, to begin
Immediately Should tho revenue exceed
- per cent the surplus is to be applied
l-3 to repay the advances of interest made by
the government, Is to form reserve fund,
to the amount Of $4,000 and the remainder
to increase the dividend of shareholders, UNI
til it shall reach 10 per cent; after which the
government arc to have discretionary au-
thority TO reduce the tariff The line is to
run from Alexandria by way Of Alden to Kur-
rachco. The part Of the line to be first CON
structcd is that from Alexandria to Alden. -
Arrangements for the establishment Of Eu-
ropean line to Alexandria, have been already
completed, by which it is to be laid this au-
tumn. Lines of communication from Kurra-
chce to Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, and Cen
trail India, already exist. The nearest point
at which the existing lines of telegraph reach
the overland mail, is Malta.

WIRE FOR THE ATLANTIC CABLE. 1t is
generally supposed that the Atlantic cable
was made entirely in England Such is not
the case. Very many miles Of the wire were
manufactured in Providence, at a factory in
the upper portion of the city. One thousand
tuns Of iron per day were consumed in the
work, and its superiority over that made in
England is well understood by the Cable
Company 1t is worthy of note that no por-
ton of the wire made in this country parted
while being laid.-Bce.

CURIOUS STORY ABOUT THE QUEENS
MESSAGE
Correspondence Of the Baltimore Republican.


Correspondence Of the Baltimore Republican.
WAsHlNGroN, August 20.
have heard from a high source to-day a
somewhat singular statement, which, if true,
land cannot doubt it,. explains two matters
namely: First, how the President was Sc
cured from being hoaxcd in the matter Of the
Queens message on the ub-Atlantic Tele-
graph and secondly. why he should come
from the Soldiers Home into the Ci.y near
midnight TO write his answer. The statement
is, that copies Of both documents were pre-
pared some time ago and exchanged between
the parties, and that Queen Victorias note
and a copy of Mr.. Buchanan's reply were
locked up in the State Department. This was
done, it is said, to prevent imposition, and a
very admirable plan it certainly was. The
reason why the President returned TO the
city at night is hereby made obvious. as it
undoubtedly was for the purpose of compar-
ing the message sent 10 him with the copy
previously placed in his possession, and also
TO obtain his own prepared reply from the
State Department. The fact of the Queens
Message being incomplete, and that what was
the substance Of the closing portion, seems
to have been known to Mr.. Buchanan whom
he wrote his reply, and the wording of the

Loss from the Recent Flood.

RE- We are sorry to learn from Mr.
D. S. DAVIS, of Quasqueton, that his
loss from the recent flood Is much grea.
ter than he at first supposed. He had a,
least 800 bushels of wheat entirely ru.
ined, and the means of ingress and
egress to his mills entirely taken away
by the destruction of the bridge, which
impels their suspension for some time
The log way to his saw mill was also
carried off, and other damage done,
which he estimates will amount to $4,000
The mills of Mr.. BENTHALL fortunately
escaped with but slight injury, and our
friend COULTER, we notice, has his -four
ing mill again in operation.
MIR. DAVIS. with the promptness and
energy which is characteristic Of him,
has ferry-boat 80 feet long already con-
structed, and in operation, so that COM
munication with both sides of the Wap-
Sic is again renewed at that place. Over
one thousand dollars has been subscribed
Tor the reconstruction of the bridge, aud
we hope soon to see it built. and in q
more substantial manner than formerly.
