The MAMMOTH CAvE.-A recent writer
says that the avenues in the Mammoth Cave
of Kentucky, thus far discovered, number
two hundred and seventy i've, and their ag
greeate length is estimated at two hundred
miles. Mr.. Holston. who was in the cave
when the iron lamp was lost, still resides near
its mouth. He is now ninety years of age.
Stephen, the old guide, died last year. The
temperature of the air of the cave, the same
writer remarks, is at hfty-nine degrees Fab
renheit, the air dry and salubrous. No thun-
der is ever heard, or lightning ever seen with
IN the cave. current of air is now coming
out OF the cave, and of sufficient force to
''blow OUT the blaze of torch. Within the
cave combustion goes on well, torches burn
freely, and respiration is easy. Darkness
there is so thick that it can be felt, aud silence
SO profound as to be impressive beyond de-
scription.

New TELEGRAPHIC PRoJECT-Tbe Atlantic
Geographic project having thus far proved a fail
ure, it has been proposed to connect the two con-
tinents by extending the wire over another route
overland, across the American continent, by way
Of California and The Russian possessions, to the
northwestward, across Behring's straits, to Asia
From thence it might go overland to all portions
of the eastern continent making of St Peters,
burg and L7ndon grand telegraphic centres. The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, writes as follows in reference to this pro-
ject;
at is uDdeniable that the public mind of Eu.
rope and America is earnestly bent upon the &C.
complishment Of a connection, by the electric
telegraph, between the eastern and western hemi.
spheres Where there is will there is way,
says the adage. The way seems to be already in
Dictated; and, in case Of the expected failure of
the Atlantic telegraph it is one that will next be
tried The United States seeks connection by
telegraph between the Atlantic and the Pacific,
and it has, in fact. become indispensable. The
progress Of settlement and commerce on the Pa
cifc coast, and rising States, territories, and col
Onies in the interior, demand it. We have only
to execute our own part of the work, and the
British and Russian governments will take it up
where we leave it, at the extremity of our north
western possessions We have only to extend
our present line from Missouri to the Straits of
Java. Great Britain and Russia may there take
it up and conduct it through their American ter.
ritories and Behring's Straits, to Asia.
The line would terminate at St. Petersburg,
which city Is in telegraphic connection with Lon.
DON
The great object in view could thus be accom-
plished, without the hazards of sub-oceanic
line, even if that be practicable.
Another prominent advantage would be. that
Ia,
other governments concerning its execution; and
that we would have one end of the line within
our own territory, while Great Britain and Rus.
STA controlled the other section
