A Central Telegraph Law.

Henry O'Reilly, the constructor OF the
first telegraph lines that electrically con-
nected the different sections of the United
States, memorializes Congress ifor general
law to facilitate communication between the
Atlantic and Pacific States, by giving right
of way to all telegraphers across the CONT
nent, and thus securing increased facilities
at moderate rates by encouraging salutary
competition in telegraphing. He says the
Legislatures of the various States having
given equal protection and right of way to all
photographers, it is but just that the national
legislature should extend similar protection
and advantages through the public domain
between the Mississippi and the Pacific, and
to this end he solicits Congress to pass
general law.

KILLED sY his SoE.-Joseph Rutledge,
ed by his own son en- Monday night last. -
He went home drunk and compelled his wife,
who was in bed sick, to get up, and then
commenced abusing her; his son coming in,
demonstrated with him against the abuse Of
his mother. Rutledge swore he would kill
the whole of them, and turned on the son
and commenced beating him. In the scufae
the son fell, and while Rutledge was on him,
the son drew his knife and inflicted the
wounds which caused Rutiedge's death in a
few minutes after. The old man got up,
however, and holding on to his stick, swore
that he would kill them all his wife caught
hold of him, and in moment after he sunk
down and died.

SERIOUS Loss OF LrEE.-The number OF
lives lost by the burning Of the steamer
Judge Porter, on the 18th inst, on her way
from Montgomery, Ala, to New Orleans, is
stated to be 10. The fire started in the en-
CINE room, and is supposed to have been
caused by the friction of hog-chain. In
few minutes after the fire was discovered,
the boat was enveloped in flames, and all
aboard had to take the water. The second
engineer, the steward, the second cook, and
Mr.. Farrar, the second clerk, are missing
OF the passengers, but one is known to have
been saved. He is Storage passenger. He,
together with the captain and crew, were
picked up by boats frem some vessels that
were near by.

mechanic branches of a yard should not be
in charge Of q man educated to sea and ma

in the Springfield United States Armory

which was brought about by Mr.. Banks, of
Massachusetts, has proved highly successful
and economical.
