This is a Southern military organization

The Lasr Heurs Of the se.sion.

The House to-day passed the appropriation
bill for the canals, containing proposition to
lease them to the highest bldder. The bill was
sent to the Senate and was disagreed to by that
body. A committee of conference was appoint
ed, which reported in favor of striking out the
proposition to lease, and appTOpriating S25,OOO
in addition to the tolls received for the repairs.
At the time we go to press (ll3 o'clock) the
House is celebrating whether or not they will
agree to the report of the committee Of confer
ence.

The Legislature adjourned at about ? O'Clock
the morning of the 9th, to meet again in Jan.

If the House viii but come up to the work
as it should do, and pass Mr.. Gwin's Senate
bill. the continent will soon he spHnned by the
space annihiiating wires. The great telegsPhic
enterprise OF the country ia represented in the
bill which has passed the Senate; and more than
this, the Government and the people have a
deep interest in the speedy completion of the
line. Private enterprise has already extended
the telegraph to the very Western frontier,
aud the line from San Francisco stretches East
With profered hand to union Of electric
spalks across the Rocky Mountains. The
California Legislature has instructed the mem
bers Of Congress from that State to vote for a
line on the central route via. Salt Lake and
Pixies PeaI, and the effect Of the passage Of
Gwin's bin will be to secure the construction
ola line On this route first, then lines on other
routes provided for in the bill will soon follow.
An that is asked Of the General Government in
aid Of the work, is a guarantee of Government
business to the amount of $50. 600 per annum
for ten years. No money subsidy or bonus Of
any nature is sought for, and there is no ques-
ton but the use of the telegraph will annu-
ally be worth to the Government many times
the amount stipulated in the BILL
The completion Of a substantial line Of tel
eg1aph from the Mississippi River to San
Francisco, would not only subseTve the Govern
nient N many obvious ways by bringing our
vast Pacific possessions, and the great TerritO-
ries this side, within speaking distance Of the
Federal Capital. but its value to the political,
commercial. and social interests Of our country
can scarcely be estimated. An inter-oceanic
IelegraPh, -bsinging the most distant parts Of
our continent into instantaneous conmuniea-
tion, would invest the Government with tre-
mcndOus power. East of the Rocky Mountain
slope that power is exerted and felt in the
movements of fleets and armies, and extended
to the Pacific, both oceans would be within
signal dist nee, and the commanding spirit
would be in truth ubiquitous. Hardy adven
turers and populations are opening up to labor
and settlement the gulches and valleys of the
dividing mountains, and the central telegraph
line Is needed to cheer on the subduers of the
rugged wilderness. 1t viii be the precursor OF
Pacific Railway, and do much to hasten the
construction of that much needed highway of
Nations.
soimportant is an inter-Oceanic telegraph to
the welfare of mankind, that the subject is
attracting considerable attention in England and
Russia. It is stated that Mr.. Collins, our
Consul to the AmOOr, has had propositions
from English capitalists to construct line Of
telegraph from Moscow to St. Louis, and that
he is endeavoring to interest the Russian Gov
ernment in the project. Our American Con
gress certainly ought not to wait to be spurred
on by foreign powers in work so important
and entirely our own as that proposed by Mr..
