TIE NEGRO RAcE.-Bayard Taylor, wri- ting from Egypt, says:
 "Those friends of the African race who point to Egypt as a proof of what the race has accomplished, are wholly mistaken. The only negro features represented in Egyptian sculpture are those of captives taken in the Ethiopian wars of the Pharaohs. The temples and pyramids throughout Nubia, as far as the Daref and Absynia, all bear the hieroglyphy of monarchs. and there is no evidence in all the valley of the Nile that the race ever att tained higher degree of civilization than is at present exhibited in Congo and Ashantee. l mention this not from any feeling hostile to the race, but simply to controvert an opinion very prevalent in some parts of the United States"

and Washington, the distance of forty miles. completed in lS44, Congress contributing O,O00 towards it's construction. A Compa ny was thereupon formed, and with Mr. Amos Kendall as President for the continuation of the line and in 1845 it was extended be- tween New York and Wilmington, Del. leay. Ing gap between the latter polnt and Balt:. more, which was filled up early in 1S46 From this inception, the work has advanced until tT present day, when there are more than thi,i tre ho~sand mules of telegraph lines in ' United States, connecting the coast of N foundand with the shores of Texas. and great plains of the West, and the great II I of the North, with the Atlantic and thel of Mexico. There are more than five thou. sand miles in the British Provinces in Enc. land there are over ten thousand miles. and in the world total length exceeding ONE HUM DRIED THOUSAND MILES. And that through the new connections formed by the submarine lines, and the new machine devised by Professor Hughes expediting the manipulation several hundred fold, the extension must presently be augmented indefinitely, are propositions that cannot be doubted.
 M The Times of the 11th inst. publishes the follow. ing special Dispatch to the Editor containing pre- phecy by Professor Morse:
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. Prof. Morse, fifteen years ago, in letter to the then Secretary of the Treasury, the Hon. John C. Spencer, gave utterance to a prophe- cy which has been fulfilled in the complete success of the Atlantic Telegraph. I quote the following words:
 " The practical inference from this law is that telcgraphic communication on the cleo tro-magnetc plan may with certainty be es- tablisled across the Atlantic oceau. Start ling as this may now seem, I am confident the time will come when this project will be real izcd."

A melancholy story of deceived wife is told by the Sing Sing Chronicle:
 It will perhaps be recollected by most of our readers that desperate attempt was made il, February, 1858 by four or five convicts con fined in the Sing Slug Prison to escape by cross ing the river on the ice But one of their num- Der, however, Thomas Sinclair, alias Winslow, succeeded in getting away, the others being speedily captured.
 Winslow has managed to keep away until last week, when information was received by the officers of the prison, that a fellow answer ing his description was confined in jail in Bos- ton on suspicion Of burglary. An officer was at once dispatched, and on Friday last return ed with the runaway. Winslow's term will ex- pire on the 2lst of September next, but an in- dictment i. pending against him for attempting to escape on another occasion On this he will be tried, and probably convicted, and sentenced to another term of five years imprisonment
 We understand that since his escape Wins low has been married 10 respectable young lady of Boston, who, it seems was totally ig- norant of his character at the time of her mar riage, and who is now in the deepest distress.

 WAsH1NcroN's FAREwELL.-Th following extract, says the National Inte!ligencer, is from letter written by lady upwards of eighty years old, residing in Philadelphia, to her grandson, in Washington
 "When George Washington delivered his Farewell Address in the room at the southeast corner Of Chesnut and Sixth streets, sat inn mediately in front of him. It was in the room Congress occupied. The table of the Speaker was between the two windows on Sixth street. The daughter of Dr. C., of Alexandria, the physician and intimate friend of Washington, Mrs. H.. whose husband was the Auditor, was very dear friend of mine. Her brother Washington was one of the Secretaries of General Washington Young Dandridge, nephew of Mrs. Washington, was the other. I was included in Mrs. HIS party to witness the august, the solemn scene. Mr. H. declined go- ing with Mrs. H., as she had determined to go early, so as to secure the front bench. It was fortunate for Miss C.. afterwards Mrs. L., that she could not trust herself to be so near her horored grandfather. My dear father stood very near her. She was terribly agitated There was narrow passage from the door of u e entrance to the room, which was on the East, dividing the rows of benches General Washington stopped at the end to let MT. Ad- ans pass to the Chair. The latter always wore full suit of bright drab, with lash or loose cuffs to his coat. He always wore wrist ruff1es. He had not changed his fashion. He was Q shcrt man with good head. With his family he attended our church twice a day General Washington's dress was full suit of black. His military hat had the black cock 1ade. There stood the Father of his Coun- try" acknowledged by the nation-the first in war, the first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. No marshal, with gold cclored stars attended him-there was no cheering-no noise. The most profound si- lence greeted him, as if the great assembly de- sired to hear him breathe, and catch his breath in homage of their hearts. Mr. Ad- ans covered his face with both of his hands the sleeves of his coat and his hands were GOV cred with tears. Every now and then, there was suppressed sob. I cannot describe Washington's appearance as felt it-perfect- ly composed and self-possessed till the close of his address, then, when strong nervous sobs broke loose-when tears covered the face then the great man was shaken. I never took my eyes from his face. Large drops came from his eyes. He looked to the youthful children. who were parting with their father their friend, as if his heart was with them, and would be to the end"

THE COMPANY OF HEAVEN.

1t is pleasant amid the jars and discords
of this lower world, to meet and mlDgie
with the great and good and noble spirits
that are to be found among us, and to re-
fresh the weary, world worn mind by asso
~ciation with the pure and holy hearted:
after the busy cares and petty trials OF THIS
work.day world are over, to sit quietly
down by the Preside, or among the two or
three who have met together, and converse
of that home to which each closing day ls
bringing us nearer, aud toward which our
united hearts and hopes are tending.
And if the communion of saints on earth
ia 30 sweet, if the society Of the good and
lovely is to be desired, what must 1t be to
minele in the grand assemblage above?-
Heaven has been gathering to itself through
countless ages whatever is congenlal to Its
nature, and enriching itself with the spoils
of earth. Whatever re look upon as holy
and excellent, elevated and worthy to be
loved in the character Of man, is found
gathered and still gathering in that multi
tude which no man can number 10 the city
of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem.
From every century, every generation,
out of every people, and nation, and kip
dred. and tongue, since the world begaD, a
long procession has assembled, and still
passed onward, comprising all that is best
and poblest, and brightest in man, all that is
holy, all that makes earth safe and pleasant
to dwell 10, and joining itself to that church
of the frst-born which is written IN heaven,
and to the spirits OF just men made perfect
There are those whom we have known and
loved. The boary head walking among us
for so many years in the ways of wisdom, the
soldier of the cross, who had learnt to i've
not unto himself, but unto Hin who died
the gentle. pure hearted, loving o~nes--the
tender iufant-all taking their place IN the
ranks of those who are without fault" before
the throne. Once safe within those portals,
how glorious their communion, how pure
their intercourse! Nothing but holiness, and
happiness and love bind together the family
of heaven. Is this the compromising IN
which we trust to spend our eternal years.
What manner of persons ought We, then, to
be in all holy conversation and goodness
looking for, and Fastening unto the day when
we, too, shall join in that innnmerable multi
tude, and unite with them in the ever new
sopp of praise to Him who hath covered Us
with righteousness. and made US meet to be
partakers of the Inheritance OF the saints 10
