The Overland TELEGRAPH.

There seem TO he but little room for
doubt that the Overland Telegraph line will
be entirely completed by the first OF De.
cenber next, thus placing lis in ins,antane-
Gus and constant commu ication with the
East. In passing over the route during the
last fortnight, we found the poles up and
the wires hung all the way from the Mis-
souri, river to long distance west of Fort
Laramie, with the exception of short in
terval somewhere between Cottonwood
Springs, Kansas, and JuIesburg, at the cross
ing Of the Platte. This interval, we are in
formed 10y Creighton. the contractor, would
be closed within a few days, when-by the
18th or l5th inst Office would be open
ell on the Sweetwater river, some nine hun.
dred miles or more west of St. Joseph
Within week hence therefore, we may ex,
pect to receive the Eastern news only three
or four days old. Creighton has recently
started a party Of men working from Salt
Lake City eastward. These are pushing on
their operations with great energy, and there
is no reason to fear but that the first of
December will find the junction made.
West Of Salt Lake City the work is being
prosecuted with equal energy under the SUI
perin,endence Of Z. R. Street. The holes
for the telegraph poles are bored the entire
distance and the poles are going up at the
rate of eight miles per day, soon as furnished
by the contractors There has been some
little delay in the delivery Of the poles a,
some points, which Street was at Salt Lake
City for the purpose of correcting, when we
passed through; but he anticipates no EN-
barrassment of any character now, whcl,
can prevent the entire completion Of hi.

of the results Of the deplorable state Of dis.

been TO favor an increase of our population.
The stagnaton in all kinds Of business dis.

or its portation, and tie uncertainty
incident to SO unsettled a state of society.

work of looking up more peaceful homes
California presents the very place for their
purposes. With a climate of every pleasant
temperature, and soil rich in every element
of wealth, mineral and agricultural, in loca.
ton far removed from the scene of broii aud
battle, it is no wonder they determine TO
leave their troubles behind them, for new
and more pleasant locations. The steamers
come to our shores alive with emgrants,
whilst from twenty five to thirty Thousand
are coming overland this season. Our own
people seem to think their homes quite as
pleasant as a visit to the eastern States would
prove, and very few are leaving our shores
The steamer of the l2th inst. only carried
away one hundred and twenty five passen-
gers, and many of them connected with the

REMOVAL OF CAMr.-An effort is being
made to have the military camped at Placer

probability that they will be. There are
several reasons given why the camp should
be here--the principal one that Placer is
better recruiting ground than Ell Dorado, as
evidenced by the fact that nearly four com
panies have been nearly completed in this
county, while in Ell Dorado bat little exer
ton is being made to raise companies.
