The telegraph, as you are aware, Is now IN

ern Overland route, and ere this. doubtless
tho wires are very nearly completed to Los
ANGELES. on your side. With this view the
proposed tive-day Pony Express Is now ireeiy
t.ltnd about. it is now in the hands OF II
Gentleman well known in California, and OF
lnte very much interested in overland tee
uraphs. He expects very soon to compete
an arrangement whereby letters of 200 words
can be transmitted from New York to san
Francisco for five dollars, and carried thro
in six DAYS. 1t is proposed that the words
be sent Gy telegraph TO Fort Smith, thence
bv horse express to Los Angeles, and thence
by telegraph to any part OF California, al
lowing sixty per cent of the receipts to the
Overland Express and forty to the telegraphs
forming the circuit This plan has the sane
ton of several prominent telegraphie mana
gers, and if concluded, will prove a powerful
rival to the Northern route. The time hence
to Fort smith is fifty.four hours; it could De
lessened easily to forty-eight, and this would
give Us an eight day trip from St. Louis to
Los Angeles, or eleven days TO San Francis,
co. If Russell d Co. quicken their time, ana
ultimately change their starting point to Ne
braska City, as suggested, the run across the
continent will be grand.
