A FRENCH ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-A late number
of the Constitutional has article on a transAt-
antic telegraph under purely French auspices. The
jour nal in question points out the advantages of
States, and says that company engages for the
guarantee of minimum revenue of 10000 francs
during fifty years, to lay down within three years
a submarine electric telegraph cable between the
coast of Franch and the United States, with sta
tion at Newfoundland, and another, if thought de-
sirable, at one of the Azores.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80, 1S6O.-It has already been
stated in the newspapers that the Austrian Arch
duke Ferdinand Macmillan contemplates visit
to this country. Commander Maury has Just re.
ceived letter from his Imperial Highness of which
the following is a copy:
"TRIEsTE, IL June, go.
"Dear Sir:-I read with the greatest pleasure
your treatise on 'The Winds at Sea, and now re-
turn my grateful thanks for this interesting pub-
cation, as we'll as for the NEST valuable Sailing D
rections, of which you very kindly made me and
the Austrian navy present.
"I avail myself of this opportunity for sending
you the meteorological diary, kept within the last
months during my trip to South America on board
II. l. MS steamer Elizabeth. Be pleased to
cept it a snail contribution to the observations
you suggested, and in which all sea-faring nations
are now sedulously engaged. May it serve you as
proof that our small navy, approaching also the
full weight and extent of your eminent results,
strives to add something to a work which all en-
lightened praise as the highest improve
ment in the nautical science.
81 deeply regret not having been able to pay a
visit to the northern part Of the trans Atlantic
Continent, for | thus lost the opportunity of max
ing your personal acquaintance and Of expressing
to you in words my highest esteem. AS soon intend
to undertake voyage to the United States, trust
shall then have the pleasure of seeing you. Most
sincerely yours, FERDINAND MACMILLAN,
Archduke of Austria.
To Capt, NJ. F. Maury, Superintendent of the
United States observatory, Washington.

The Pennsylvania is worthless for all purposes,
save to act in her present capacity as guard-ship
for the few years that her rotten tmbers may be
kept from dissolution; the Columbus is more rotten
the Columbus; and the New Y ork is less so, for
she never launched at all, having been rotting
on her stocks during the last AZ years. The Coum-
bus and the Raritan would require more time,
labor, and money to fit them out than the building
of three frigates of their class. The Brooklyn
is efficient, but there is strong suspicion taking
root among naval people that the Richmond and
the Pensacola will be failures. The Merrimack and
Germantown are good; so that instead of the eleven
men-of-war, with an aggregate capacity of $4,000
tons, and able to accommodate $3.50 men, more
than half the entire manual material of our navy,
the 'formidabe naval reserve" of Norfolk, of
which certain journals have recently been boastng,
dwindles down to five servceable national ships

THE NAvIEs OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE.-A writer
in the Constitutional shows that while, in 1852
France spent l25, 900, 900 francs her navy, Eng
land spent 294 900 900; and that, in 1860, France
spent 124, 100000 and England spent 800, 500 900
francs. On the lst of August inst. England had 63
steam shipsofthe-line, Al steam-frigates, and 35S
smaller steam vessels-making a total of 492
France had only total of 26S, of which 35 were
ships-of the line, 80 frigates, and 1913 smaller
vessels. England has in service 199 sailing war
vessels of all sizes, and France only 124. Further
more, there probably ten times many vessels
building on the English stocks on the French
stocks. 1t would appear FROM this that the Eng
lish clamor about the "immense naval prepara-
tions of France" is very absurd.

Four white and eight negroes have been dis

everything corroborates the statement made by
the negroes. The Taladega papers will doubtless
