A Great Work Nearly Completed.

We allude to the great Overland Tel
egraph Line. The country is informed
that the line is completed as far as Great
Salt Lake City, from this side. Across
the country for thousands Of miles the
magic wire has been extended across
prairie deserts and barren wastes, even
beyond the rugged ranges Of the Rocky
Mountains, even into the valley of the
Nevada. The first message has arrived
from that point. Brigham Young has
had the pleasure Of announcing to the
world that, instead Of being buried from
the sight and hearing Of everybody, he
is right among us-that lie is not so far
off but that he can stand in his own
house and bid President Lincoln good
morning, and assure him that whatever
may DC lis belief upon the wife question,
he is sound on the Union, and the foe
of all secedcrs. Brigham doubtless re-
members a visit which Uncle Sam paid
him few winters ago. He has a per-
feet right to do so. But we are glad to
hear from Brigham. We are glad to
know that he is SO near us. II any in
qnisitive scamp wishes to know how
many wives Brigham is INDUCING in,
or how he manages to keep them these
hard times-if they are handsome or
homcIy, plain or dressy, all he will have
to do will be to put the questions upon
the wire and he will be answered by
return flash Of lightning.
In less than elk weeks the entire line
to the Pacific coast will be completed
and in working order. Those sitting
within hearing distance Of the waves Of
the Atlantic can converse with those on
the Pacific coast with the utmost ease
a. though chatting across table. 1t is
agrcat work, and the benefits which
will accrue theretrom to the American
people, will be innnmerable.
Let the East shake hands with the
West and the Pacific hob-nob with the
Atlantic, and have a general rejoicing
on the day when both shall be united
by bond Of iron, over which each can
communicate with the other with the
quickness OF thought.

Memphis, Tenn, Bulletin, which, we
are informed, has been crushed out by
its more lusty neighbor, the Avulanche.
The Bulletin was until last Spring, q
strong Union journal, but died hope

newspaper which. like the Journal "f
the same place, hsa alwsys been uoeon'
ditionaIIy for the Union, speaking ofthe
N. Y. 7r6snS's advocacy Of emancipa-
ton, ssys:
"Greeley, in these efFnsions, i dsmsg.
ing the cause and bic paper, in justice
to the friends Of the Union, ought to be
suppressed as inccndisry and helping
the enemy"
Let it be remembered that Greeley
writes in Spruce street, far beyond the
reach Of secession bullets, while the ed
itors OF the Democrat have cast lite,
property, everything, into the cause OF
the Union. Il is . disgrace to the
country that Greeley from his scfs posi-
ton shall be permitted to aid the enemy,
whom the proprietors Of the Democrat
are struggling face to face with.
DANIEL S. DrCKISsoN has announced
recently that i" he has not changed his
political sentiments" We are sorry tor
it, for we had hoped that he had repent
ed Of his frequent back-sliiings and bis
secession proclivities. Last Fall he said
that "he wouM 20 South, j; he 'oen'
alone" and be has even been knewn to
express pious regret that he was moi
born in slave State !; and now he tells
the country that he has not changed hls
sentiments. II he is sincere he must be
watched, for all bis )" sentiments" from
the time of the Charleston Convention
down to the fall Of Fort Sumter, were 81
reasonable as those Of jeff Davis.

lost fewer prisoners. They suffered to

was only when they were stormed out Of

ers, and friends of education in Cedar
county, to attend the meeting of the
State Teachers Association which is to
be held 10 Muscatine, Iowa; and to COM
mcuce August Goth, inst, and continue
some three days. There is need of a
large turn out of the friends of Free
Schools The enemies of children's
rights are at work, and will doubtless at
tempt to take advantage of the times to
accomplish the overthrow of our noble
school system. In view of this, and also,
from sense of duty, we entreat you to
meet with the active workers of the
State, at Muscatine, and counsel, and aid
them in their 'labor of love, and work of
mercy"
Muscatine is very pleasant place to
spend few days, after the labors of the
harvest. Go-give your minds work,
and, your bodies rest. The cost of get
ting to Muscatine need be but little to
the people of Cedar county. The ladies
will be entertained free during the AS
ISOLATION, and the gentlemen at from
fifty to seventy-fve cents per day, at first
class hotels. Let there be full turn

The splendid victory achieved by the
Union men Of Kentucky on Monday last
will soon bear its fruits The loyal citi-
zcns, now for the first time knowing their
full strength, will wheel their noble
State into the column Of the Union, and
contribute still more of their strength to
the suppression of the rebellion. The
disguise of armed neutrality is thrown
off Magof1in, Breckenridge, Powell and
Burnett are repudiated; the gallant An
derson, the equally gallant Holt, aud the
patriot Prentice ere endorsed to the full
assurance of their desires; the brave
regiments which have marched victori.
Gus up the Kanawha valley, are crowned
with the APPRECIATION of their State, and
secession in the land of Daniel Boone
and Henry Clay is killed utterly and for.
ever. 1t is hardly possible to overesti-
mate the results of such q victory in
such a State at such time Coming on
the heels of the Bull Run disaster, every
vote cast for the Union ticket is doubly
emphasized. Henceforth Kentucky may
be counted on as active, Jealous, uncom-
promising, yea, belligerept on the side of
the Union; aud ere long the loyal men
of east Tennessee will be made to feel
that they will have powerful friend
and protector at their own doors. - Chi

above qualities not only work well at rand "a
