The Pacific TeIexraph.

The completion of this line gives courage
to those who look for its extension north
ward and westward into Asiatic Russia.
Mr.. P. Med. Collins, who has already me-
morialized Congress on the subject of San
Francisco and Amoor River telegraphic line,
has renewed hopes ofsuccess in his enterprise.
The Pacific Telegraph is two thousand
miles long; Mr.. Collins line would reach
five thousand miles He thinks it could be
built for $500 per mile, and that after pre-
liminary survey of the route, which would
require one year, the whole line could be
put up in two years.
The Russian Government is rapidly COM
pletiug line from St. Petersburg to the
Amoor, which it expects to have in opera
tion in 1864. 1t is already working for two
thousand five hundred miles, to Omsk, in
Siberia.
Mr.. Collins asks Congress to lend him two
small vessels and $50,600 for a preliminary
survey of the route, by way of Behring's
Straits, and to grant certain annual subsidy
to any company who would construct and
work the line within certain period. The
Russian Government will join ours in the
survey of the route and would make inn
portant concessions to a company undertake
ing to maintain the line in operation. From
his knowledge Of the ground and of the In
diaps who occupy it, and who are already
traders, Mr. Collins does not anticipate very
serious difficulties in either the construction
or the maintenance of great inter. conti-
mental line.

A PURITAN THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
In the contemptuous epithets which the
Southern chivalry apply to the people of the
Eastern States there IS an affectation of the
insolent swagger that distinguished the cava-
liers in the English civil wars. The curious
and characteristic document in the form of a
thanksgiving proclamation by Governor An
drew, Of Massachusetts,, reminds one as foTci-
bly, of the religious zeal and uncompromising
determination which constituted the strength
of their antagonists, No one who has
watched the course of the people OF Massa-
chusetts, and of their Governor, since the
commencement of the present struggle, can
doubt their title to the possession OF all the
qualities that distinguished their Puritan an
cestors. They have thrown themselves into
the contest with an earnestness and a deter
mination which are beyond all precedent.
Not only have they contributed q larger
number of regiments to the army, but they
have sent them to the field better disciplined,
better equipped, and better organized gene
rally, than those Of any other State. 1t has
been remarked of them, as they passed
through our streets, that they seemed to
carry the Union in their hearts and the Bible
in their hands, SO earnest, 80 enthusiastic,
and so determined was their aspect. Instead
of relaxing her efforts after all this exertion,
we find the Old Bay State straining every
nerve 10 preserve the pre-eminence she has
won. The proclamation of Governor An
drew may be taken as index of the intensity
of the feeling which still peTYades her people
on the subject of this rebellion, and of the
sacrifices they are prepared to make to put il
down.-NeU York Herald, 8h.

The Union Must be Preserved.

The whole law and the prophets, on the
subject of slavery, was briefly stated by our
great American and Democratic historian,
Hon. George Bancroft, at public meeting
in New York, on Thursday evening, as fol-
lows:
We have given the President all that he
has asked for, and more, in money and in
men. [Applause.] Now, then, we say to the
President, maintain the Union, or the fault
will lie at your door and the door of your ad-
visers. GCheering1 If the President has any
doubt under the terrible conflict into which
he has been brought, let him have the words
of one of his predecessors. Alien notification
raised itself in South Carolina. Andrew
Jackson, in the watches of the night, as he
sat alone finishing that proclamation, sent
the last words of it to Livingston, his bosom
friend and best adviser. He sent it with these
words. 'Ihave had the letterin my own hands,
banded to me by the only surviving child of
Mr.. Livingston. know the letter which 1
now read is a copy:'
DEAR SIR submit the above as the con-
clusiop of the proclamation for your amend
ment and revision. Let it receive your best
flight of eloquence, to strike to the heart and
speak to the feelings of my deluded country.

Count de Grammont once remarked, 'Her
eyes always seem to. be doing something
more than merely looking at you!' The

it is never quite yes nor altogether no. The

to become the Colonel of regiment ofpious

lows: AZ -. fI asa .aAs
g, The Bible throughout forbids ministers to
take the sword, while it urges Christian peo-
pie TO fight on numerous occasions. The
tribe Of Levi never fought, though the Jews
were among the most warlike nations. Aaron
never fought nor Samuel, nor Elijah, nor
Isaiah. Saul was severely punished for offer
ing sacrifice, and Hophni and Phineas, when
they carried the ark unnecessarily to battle,
perished. David was not allowed tojbuild
the temple, because he was a man of blood.
Yet military leaders, both under the cid and
new dispensations, were highly honored.

Sweden proves that this is the faith of the
people of Sweden, as We know that it is the
faith and practice Of their respected sove-
