DAILY. sEMIw AND WEEKLY
NEW BUILDING AND NEW PRESS
Owing TO the rapid increase of the bust.
ness of the Journal establishment, the pro.
prietors have found it absolutely necessary
during the present year, to very much en-.
large their facilities for its accommodation,
They have removed the establishment to
the splendid Freestone Building on Wash.
lngton and Water streets-which was erect
ed expressly for them-and have added to
their printing department one of Hoes
Mammoth Eight-Cylnder Presses, the on
y one of the kind in New England. They
have now two presses-one Eight Cyl Finder
and one Six-Cylinder--and these, together
with their Improvements, give them the
most complete Daily Newspaper establish
ment in New England, and will enable
them 10 meet the demands of the public
more punctually than ever before.
In issuing the prospectus of the Journal
for 1861, the proprietors have only TO saw
that they shall endeavor to make it the
Leading Newspaper in New England for
early and reliable intelligence from all sour
ces. The indications now are that the ap-
preaching Winter will be one of the most
exciting through which our country has ev-
erpassed. With able and experienced cor
respondents at Washington, we shall by a
free use of the telegraph, keep our readers
well informed of every movement of inter-
est there; and our corps of correspondents
IN different sections of the country will tell
them how the popular pulse, North, South.
East and West. beats in response TO the
movements at the Capitol. Our Editorial
and Reportorial force will be strengthened
as the occasion may demand, by the best
talent which can be obtained; and all that
experience can suggest and money and la
Dor perform, viii be done to make the

Preparations for War In NIns-nchusects
mne New-tisnspshirc.

BosToS, Saturday, Dec. 30, 1860.
There is no disgusting the fact that Massa,
ehusetts Is ready to respond promptly to
any demand made upon her for troops to
sustain the Cniou and the laws. learn TO-
day, from the highest authority, that seven
thousand troops can be put in marching
order on twenty-four hours notice. and that
one hundred and forty-five thousand men
are enrolled in the MALTA of this State
Of this number twenty thousand could be
easily mustered.
The financial resources of Massachusetts
were never in better condition for such
emergency, and the people are enthusiastic
to be enrolled.
Adjutant General Abbott, of New-Hamp-
shire, arrived here this afternoon from
Washingington, and left Immediately for
Concord, with the intention of recommend
ing to Gov. Goodwin that the Granite State
be Immediately put upon war footing.
Considerable excitement exists in conse-
4uence Of the reports that the muskets re-
moved from the Springfield Armory have
been distributed over the South. Mr..
Whitney, Collector Of this port, late Super
ntendent Of the Armory at Springfeld,,r e-
urned from there tonight, having been
here it supposed with rcferance to the re-
'ort from Washington to Tie Herald that
10000 muskets have recently been taken
rom the Armory and sold to Virginia.
The feeling is deep and not TO be misin-
There is no mstaking the fact
hat Massachusetts is in earnest in this

ANOTHER ATLANTIC TELEGRApH.-
The expedition sent out by the British gov
eminent TO take soundings on the route
proposed by Col. Sbaffner for an Atlantic
telegraph, has returned and made favor
able report. The ocean is found to be less
deep by 400 fathoms on the northern route
than on that where the abandoned cable
now lies, and the fear of embarrassment
from ice between Greenland and Iceland is
dispelled by the exploration. The route is
by Greenland, Iceland and the Farce Isles
to Scotland, and although longer than the
route Of the unsuccessful cable, it has the
advantage of being cut up into sections of
comparatively short extent. 1t is now
pretty generally conceded that with per-
feet cable telegraphing from Iceland to
Newfoundland would be impracticable, from
the fact that the electric wave will not pass
so long a distance through submarine con-
ductor, and if there is TO be telegraph TO
Europe, it must either lie over Col. Shaft
ner's route or westward across this CONT
nent and Russia. 1T is not probable, how
ever, that the capital will be found for CT
Their undertaking for some years to COME
The capitalists shut their hands tight when
they think Of the millions that lie at the
bottom Of the ocean in the first Atlantic ;el.
egrapi,.-!priagtfeld Republican.
The idea of placing Geographic cable
ia the high northern latitude, proposed in
the above article, seems to us to be very
absurd; for those who have read the adj
ventures of the lamented DIR. Kane, or 9TH
prs who have navigated these northern
teas, must remember tile fact that huge ice
'ergs are often reported in that neighbor-
food as stranded upon the ocean bed.
If therefore one Of these moving islands
i ice, as it was blowing its way to the
outh, were to encounter submarine cable,
S il would be quite sure TO do if laid as
roposed, it would be rent asunder in an in
tant, and all communications at once be
topped. We had feared that an accident
f this kind might befall the cable laid from
roland to Newfoundland, for we believe
hat icebergs ale occasionally stranded as
,r south as the line upon which that cable
'as laid,
We OF course would not wish to throw
old water upon an enterprise Of this kind,
ut VIC fear that the obstacle before named
ill ever prevent the successful accomplish
len. of this great enterprise, unless the ca
lie I've laid so far south as 10 be beyond The
each of icebergs-and therefore the onlv
'asible route presented to our mind is that
ia. Bermuda Islands.
