The AMERICAN CHESS CHAMPION IN ENG-
LAND-Mr. Morphy, who arrived out by
the Africa, quietly walked into the st.
Georges chess club one night last week,
and, after beating Mr. Lewen, who is a re-
eognized champion, with the greatest case,
offered challenge to Mr.. Staunton, the
British CqRr dc Lion Of the noble game.
Mr. Stanton accepted the proposition, sat

board in some twenty moves, and was about

The Atlantic Telegraph.


The New York papers are busilg disctss.
ing two new routes, one starting from the
northwest corner Of Washington Territory q
running to Sitka, either along the coast or
by way of Vancouyer's Isiundi as may be
more practicable thence through Russian
America to the Aleutian Islands, which
form bridge, as it were. between the two
Continents. From the southern part OF
Kamtschatka, the Kurile Island form an
other bridge to the Island in the sea of
japan. Crossing SagsslieH and the barrow
strait to the westward, the wire to ran to
the great elbow formed By the River
Amoor, and, ascending that river, follow
one of its main branches to the Center of ST.
leria, aud finally terminate at Moscow
the whole distance from Portland, Oregon,
to Moscow by this route is less than 10 600
miles. In no place will the wire reqnire to
be submerged for more than two hundred
miles in one stretch.
The other route takes nearly similar
direction, only instead of crossing by the
Aleutian Island, it proposes to go farther
north and cross the narrower passage o
Behering's Straits. These lines would
have to travel more than three-fourths o
the earth's circumference in order to reacl
their destination.
