THE OVERLAND TELEGRAPH.J. W.
Simonton one of the editors Of the Bul-
ietin, has Just reached San Francisco by
way of the Central route across the
Plains, and writes in that paper as fol-
lows:
There seems to be little room for
doubt that the Overland Telegraph
line will be entirely completed by the
first of December next, thus placing US
in instantaneous and constant commu-
nication 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 Il long distance west OF
Fort Laramie, with the exception of
short interval somewhere between Cot
tonwood Spring. Kansas, and jules
burg, at the crossing of Platte. This
enterval, we were informed by Creigh-
ton. the contractor, would be closed III
few days, when--by the 18th or 18th
lnst-an office would be opened on the
Sweetwater river, some nine hundred
miles or more west Of st. Joseph.
Within week hence, therefore we
may expect to receive the Eastern
news only three or four days. old.
Creighton has recently started party
of men working from Salt Lake City
Eastward. These are pushing on their
operations with great energy, aud
there is no reason to fear but that the
first of December will find the junction
made. f-v r .1 as ef+s,
West of Salt Lake City the work is
being prosecuted with equal energy um-
der the superintendent &c. X. Street.
The holes for the telegraph poles are
bored for the entirc distance-and the
poles are going up at the rate Of eight
miles per day, as fast as furnished by
the contractors. There has been some
delay in the delivery of the poles at
some points, which Street was At Salt
Lake City for the purpose Of correcting,
when we passed through; but he an-
ticipates no embarrassment OF any
character now, which can prevent the
entire completion Of his part Of the
grand work By the lst or l5th Of No
veInber.

MARR1AGE.-If man feels very
much like getting married, yet imas-
ines that he ought not to, the best re-
medy is to help one of his ncighbors
nore a house full Of .ft~niturc-borrow
nine of his children for three days and
hear them cry. Ifthat fails, build up Il
fire of damp wood, ard when the
smoke in the room is thickest, hire a
woman to scoM him about four hours.
If ho can stand all these things he'd
better get married the next day-give
his wife the pants, and be "siIent
partner" i'll the great firm ofmatrimo-
ny. We think the remedy is severe,
but as every man is liable to these
things after he yokcs himself, it would
be no harm to try it before.

To STor BLEED1NG.-Asa Kempcr, of
Ross county, Ohio, writes to the Amer
lean Agriculturist, that bleeding from a
wound on man or beast may be stopped
by amixture of wheat -four and common
salt, in equal parts, bound on with a
cloth. If the bleeding be profusc. use
q large quantity, say from one to three
pints. 1t may be left for hours If nee
essary. In this manner he saved the
life Of horse which was bleeding from
q wounded artery; the bleeding ceased
in five minutes after application. 1t
was left on three days, when it got
loose, was easily removed, aud the
wound soon healed.

nOunces the protection of the laws
If there be any who are deluded BY
this talk shout peace into . mcsnentasy
inclination to yield, there Is one con-
sideraiion which the instant it occurs
to their minds, should decide them to
remain firm for the Constitution. In
that broad highland region which
stretches from Western Virginia to
Western Georgia and Northern Ala
bama. there is a large population de-
votcdly attached to the Union, and al
most everywhere else in the Slave
States are citizens loyal at heart, though
perhaps compelled by the despotism
which holds forcible possession of that
region to conceal their sentiments.
One OF the strongest reasons for resist
ing the demands of the rebels was that
we might obtain for these people the
opportunity of freely expressing their
sentiments by their voices and suffrages.
If we yield to the demands Of those
who have conspired to subvert the
Constitution by force of arms, we
shall shamefully abandon these men,
who are now looking to us for present
protection aud future liberty. All who
have been openly friendly to the Union
we shall abandon to the relentless des-
potism which now seals their lips. We
shall leave the 10000 men, the flower
Of East Tennessee, who are now ready
to take up arms in defense of the Un-
ion, to the mercy of those who bayonet
the wounded and fallen as they lie help
less on the field of battle. We shall be
guilty of an act of cold-blooded and
cowardly, selfishness, which will hand
down our name with disgrace to the la
test ages.-N. Y. Post.

CHANGES The necessities of the
government in this war are very like
ly to restore some principles to sud-
den application which have been very
solemnly discarded. Jackson's veto
of the Maysvillc Road Bill, and also
of the U. S. Bank Bill, it was sup
posed, put an end to internal improve
ments by the general government,
and a National Bank forever. The
President, in his message, it will be
seen, recommends the construction Of
a railroad, and the Secretary of the
Treasury will probably recommend
some sort of bank, and both PROPOSE
tons will probably prevail.

enemy our government has to encoun-

has cast off its constitutional obliga-

undertaken the destruction of this
government. This Slavery, it is, which
has summoned half a million North
ern soldiers into the field, tens of thou
sands of whom must leave their limbs
or their lives there. This Slavery it
is, which is to drain our pockets of
money to the point of universal dis
tress. This Slavery it is, which has

ton of q system SO internal in its con-
stitution, and so mischievous and ru-
