IMPORTANCE OF THE TRANSATLANTIC TELEGRAM
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. rs, 1851
This completion of the last link Of the American
graph connects Cape Race with the Golden Horn, travd
ing nearly s 900 miles with ono continuous wro
bringing those two points within two hours telegral
time of each other. The next westward extension OF
no will be by the way Of Bchring Straits to the mo
Of the Amoor river to which point the Russian govcnm
ID already constructing line, commencing at Nose
This is the extension which Mr.. p. D. Cons project
and has been for so long time advocating. The CONF
ton Of tho American telegraph to the Amoor river
leave scarcely anything further to achieve in Telegram
enterprise. 1t will connect America with Europe via d
cow and through lines already built projected W
all the important commercial points in China, India,
| do, in Japan, and even Melbourne, 10 Australia.
Some time ago tho Russian government told Mr. Coll
that when tho working Of limo from St. Louis to this
became fixed fact, they should look upon that fact
proof Of the practicability of tho line from thence
cow and would thcnceforth proceed more rapidly W
their own line to the Amoor. The propretors Of
Pacific line having been for some time convinced Of
perfect feasibility of Mr.. Collins project, well
its vast importance to the whole CONNER,
world, have become much Interested in
enterprise, and hence 1t IL their intent
to push 1t forward with all practicable speed. Mr..
Inns at the Eastward, whence II is his intention
distant day, to proceed to St. Petersburg in the
thor pursuit OF his gigantic enterprise. It Is und
stood that the Russian government have already
agent in the Eastern States looking into the working
tho American telegraph system.
One very important feature in this project is the
that when the line to the Amoor is finished from b
sados the whole world will be in telegraph connects
with but forty miles Of submarine cable across Behr
Strait.
Pending the completion Of the extension to tho Am
II Is proposed to establish at this port line Of n
steamers 10 China and japan, bringing the Chinese
and nows to this city in twenty days. From hence
news to DO telegraphed to New York Cape Race,
to reach Europe in advance Of the dispatches sent
Red Sea route
