Telegraph Line to the Pacific.

We are in fair way of having Tele-
graph line to California. The Senate has
passed bill for this purpose, and there is
every probability that it will pass the House,
at all events, we hope it will.
The bill is in the shape of contract be-
tween the Telegraphic Confederation of the
Atlantic States and the California Tele~
graph Company, of the first part, and the
Government of the United States, of the
second part. The Telegraph Companies
agree to build the line from the Missouri
river, connecting it with the eastern lines
already built, to San Francisco on the Pa
cifc, uia Pixies Peak and the South Pass,
in two years from the 31st of July next, the
Government agreeing to pay over to the
Companies the sum of $4,000 every year
for ten years, and have the privilege of using
the wires for Government business, free.
The Companies to have the right of way
through all the Territories, paying Govern
ment for the land for their Stations.
The distance of the line will be about
1000 miles, and the expense of its con-
struction, complete, will probably approx
mate million of dollars.
If this bill passes the House, then, we
shall have telegraphic communication with
California in two years from the approaching
summer, and the line to Pixies Peak will no
doubt be at once built and completed to
Denver City as early as next Autumn.

The LATE EXPLOIT AT VERA Cruz
MARIN, the commander of the captured
Mexican vessels, has published at New Or.
leans protest against their capture. He
signs himself Admiral of the Mexican
Navy. He says that neither the Saratoga
lndianola or Wave showed flags when ap-
preaching the Mexican vessels. He knew
that the Indianola and Wave were Juarez
steamers, and supposed they were towing
armed boats to attack him. He attempted
to escape, when two shots were fired at him,
which he returned. He then recognized the
Saratoga, and ordered the firing to cease,
Notwithstanding which the attack was con-
tinued, with the known results. He says he
purchased the steamers at Havana from
merchants, by order of the supreme govern.
ment of Mexico, nationalized one, and the
other was to have been nationalized when
reaching Mexico, if proved.

For this staple production every quarter
of the globe furnishes ready market, and
while the capacity for manufacturing in
England seems to have been nearly attained,
the demand is on the increase, and the prices
of cotton goods have risen with it. The
limited amount of manufacture in this coun-
try, taken in connection with our capacity
for extending the factories with the demand,
goes to show very clearly that the amount
of the annual crop may be largely increased,
without affecting the market, which is open
to it in every direction.
It will be noticed by the table of English
imports, that Brazil, Egypt, and the East
Indies, not only supply mere fraction of the
entire amount, but have not maintained in
1859 the maximum of previous years. There
are natural causes which produce these re-
suits, end will continue to establish our own
monopoly.
In the East Indies the seed cannot be
planted until the close of the rainy season,
and the utmost dispatch must then be used.
The first month promises we'll, but the heat
of the sun during the second month Injuries
the bolls, so that the cotton has short
staple and weak fibre. The boil worm is
also destructive to it, and the market value
never reaches the American standard, while
the experience of Is years fixes limit to
the quantity. In Brazil the sugar and coffee
plantations are 80 much more advantageous
and profitable, as to exclude cotton produc-
ton to a great extent. The limited area
suitable for cotton in Egypt, and the impor"
lance of the bean crop, produce similar re-
suits there. It is therefore evident that the
United States really possess the range OF
country, and the people to work it, which is
essentially the cotton district of the world.

The Niagara.

The steam frigate Niagara has been selected
by the Government to carry the japanese En-
bassy back to their country. 1t will be recol-
lee ted that this vessel was built by the la
mented GEORGE STEERS, whose famous yacht
America beat the whole British squadron SO
effectually that they were forced 10 confess
their defeat. and, like men Of sense, set at once
TO work to rectify the defects of their own
marine architecture, adopting the America as
q model in some important points. The fame
aud success of STEERS induced the United
States Government to depart from its usual
plan OF constructing naval vessels at Govern
ment yards, and TO entrust to STEERS The
building Of steam trigate Every one, except
the naval men, predicted that this frigate
would be a wonder Of the world, the stoutest
and smartest ship that ever rode upon the
ocean. But the result will probably prevent
the Navy Department from ever making a
similar experiment, and, if it does, the million
expended upon the Niagara will be a cheap
expenditure for such valuable experience. As
an East Indian clipper, the Niagara might be
considered q success as a vessel Of war, she is
n complete failure. Except for the purpose
of laying a Geographic cable, or carrying a
cargo of liberated African slaves to their ma
tive country, or Transporting the Japanese
Embassy back to Japan, she has been of no
practical use to the Government, and never
will b.

The London Times has an article plainly

cess in Japan has awakened among CONNER
cial circles in England, and the churiish con-
duct of the English Admiral at Aspinwall, in
