PRINTING TELEGRAPH TO RIcHNoND. We
are gratifed to announce that in about week
from this time the House Printing Telegraph
will be in operation from Washington to this
city, by way of Alexandria and Gordonsville.
As soon us the necessary arrangements can
be made the famous Hughes instrument will
be employed on this line instead of the House;
but it will be the Hughes patent improved
by the adoption of some Of the very best
features of the House Printing Telegraph.
Both of the patents now belonging to the sam"
company, this blending of the two is thus ac-
complished.
The Printing Telegraph has not heretofore
been extended south of Washington or til"
Ohio River. Its introduction here we hope
will facilitate Geographic communication.
and what is more important, give life and
vigor to competition in telegraphing, that
VIII be highly beneficial to the public and

THE WAR INDICATIONS IN EuRoPE.-The Pa
ris correspondent Of the Globe, writing on the
l4th ultimo, says:
"Every symptom of war is apparent in the
most varied quarters. The ball at the Tuilleries
might pass for revival Of that famous assemble
tlansante at Brussels, so wildly set forth in
"Childe Harold" forth from which the dan
GERS sped to encounter balls of other sort.
Nothing but strategetic conversation was heard
all night. The Emperor was in spirits, and led
off with Lady Cowley, while Austria's Envoy
was nowhere. The percussion cap factory Is
working double tides as long as daylight lasts,
no lamp or gas being allowed on the premises.
1t will he remembered that after the Orsini ex-
plosion on this day last year, Government had
taken into It's own hands the fabrication of cap
sules all over France. All the old steamers that
conveyed the Roman expedition in lS49 with
such ease and despatch to the Italian coast, are
being put in order for another convoy, and every
disposable ship carpenter at Brest or Cherbourg
is sent by rail to Toulon. People at Marseillcs
write on the 18th thai every preparation in the
Commissariat ia hastened, and the business on
"Change has become exclusively of military
kind, the transactions having all reference to
supplies"

of the road, these regiments trtsazzsntiis
not fighting order. The advance guard was
small, and some distance ahead of the body OF
the command. The wagons-including a large
provision train--were stretched out over the
broken road for at least a mile. The rear
guard consisted of but single company, and
having been delayed at camp in disposing Of q
sex Han, was some distance in the, rear. We
happened to be with the rear guard when the
sound of the first cannon was heard, and we re-
member distinctly-so unexpected was the at
tack-that we thought the firing was in honor
of some new victory, the intelligence Of which
had just arrived by express. 1t was our opinion
then, and it is still, that the condition Of the
command was such that they could not have
withstood dashing charge Of three thousand
Lancers. Mounted troops move rapidly and
they might have swept from front to rear
-lancing the men in detail or in squads, before
it was possible to close up in battle array. 10
have been crushed under such circumstances
would neither have been dishonorable to the
volunteers, nor very creditable to the pomp OF
the Mexcans
Gen. Qutman himself says, that he was only
informed of the threatened attack by mes
senger from Worth, after the firing had COM
menced, and the train was coming up at full
gallop. See his Address before the Palmetto
Association.
But in addition to this, the statements of the
Address arc confirmed in every particular by
the only history Of the war which alludes, SO
far,as we know, to- this incident. In Rjpley's

PATS pYASlyE ANSWER.

Patrick O'Neil, before he became Joined in

One day the priest expected a call from
Protestant minister, and he wished some excuse
to get rid Of him. So calling Patrick, he pro-.

"Patrick," said he,, "if that minister comes

The matter thus arranged Father Coonl0y ne

duties. About dusk ir the afternoon the priest
came out Of his room and found Patrick il un-

Hiram came home at day break the next
morning, bringing the intelligence that DR.. ALI
ston had rested better than he had for several
nights previous, though it was the opinion OF
DR.. Osborn that he could not live through the
day. He sent message to Estell, through her
brother, to assure her of bis undying regard,
and begging that she would come and remain
with him through the day. Mr.. Douglass had
returned about midnight, having been from
home several days on business; and as he was
much fatigued, Mrs. Douglass did not tell him
what had occurred. To tell the truth she did
not know how to go about telling him at all.
But Hiram told him the next morning at break
fast, and though the old gentleman was greatly
astonished, he argued that it was the duty Of
his daughter to go and assist in taking care Of
the man who was at all events her husband
while he lived. And Estell went, expecting to
see him breathe his last before night. But to
the astonishment Of all, instead Of growing
worse, he grew better, and at sunset the physi-
clan gave it as his opinion that there was some
slight hope Of his recovery. The following
morning he was still improving, and one week
from the day of his marriage was pronounced
out Of danger.
Long years have passed. since the above re-
corded events occurred. .2zAlice AtissQuiis DOW
nearly grown, and five little curly heads, beside
hers, have nestled in the bosom Of her more
than mother, and still Alice is her idol. Her

" mamma is always petting sister Alice" And
though not so bouyant as formerly, shci happy
and content with her lot in life and has never
regretted her marriage with the man she be-
lieved at tue time to be dying, and says she most
positively believe that at least one match was
made in heaven.
DR.. Allston is still in the prime Of life, and
the very picture Of health aud happiness. Calls
Estell his guardian Angel; talks of writing a
book for the benefit Of posterity, and says the
title of bis book shall be Thrice Weddsd."

WooD CUTTING AND SPLITTING MACHINE
The Baltimore Patriot thus describes machine
for the above purpose, patented by George Page,
of Washington: !:
eve proceed, therefore, to. describe it ns best
we can, and in doing 50 it is necessary to remark
that the motive power is steam, and that the
implements thus set in motion are singularly
suspended saw and peculiarly shaped axe
That is to say, TINT in appearance and arrange
ment the machine of Mr. Page is unique, and
differs very materially from similar inventions.
But that which concerns the public most to
know Is this, what is its capacity Z or what can
il do g. Can it cut cord Of wood in less time
than any other machine? Yss; and split II
much more handsomely. When set at work In
tue wood, and taking tho logs just o. they come,
it will cut d cord OF wool, any length desired,
and split 1t beautifully, ln.ids Of Ave ihin'ites,
and run Ut that rate n desiredi ttt rntirs day,
Bixtesn butts ui wood ars spills at unes, the aAe
beiBs driven with immense ioree on the princi-
pie Of pile driver. The slais, splits, finders:
or whatever el.e you may be pleased to call
them, are uniformly piled together by the ,aBe
agency, in such way that the outside layer
protects the bulk from rain and snow and thus
facilitates the seasoning process"
