specie Flow between Europe
md America.

1t is well known that there has been a steady
flow of specie to tie United States from Europe
for the last eight months, amounting in all to some
forty millions of dollars more than has gone from
here to Europe. The reason is that we have. in
great measure, ceased to import European luxu.
rics, owing to the war and our economical ncces-
stiles, while Eur. pc. owing to her short harvest.
has been obliged to buy largely of our breadstuiis
to feed her suffering millions. In this way, despite
the fact that the cotton crop has not gone out the
balance Of trade has been largely in our favor,
A different result was anticipated by many, espc.
cially by the London Times, and that print is yet
unwilling to give up its theory that the state of
things in this country must drain US of specie that
will g. to Europe.

How the Pacific Telegraph
Works.

The business men OF New ork appre.
ciate t, commercial advantages of tel.
egraph il1e to the Pacific. On the first
day after communication between this
city and San Fancisco was established,
over forty purely business dispatches
were sent through, besides many of a
congratulatory character. The rates now
in use are ,95 for ten words, and for
ty eight cents for each additional word
which are regarded as moderate for the
distance, and are not likely to be reduced at
present. In the act Of Congress givt~'g
authority to build the line, it was expires
ly forbidden to fix the through rates a.
bove $4,2 for ten words, and thirty
six cents for each additional word; but
no definite rates were mentioned for the
way business. Mr.. j. II. Wade, PRESS
dent Of the line, has telegraphed to this
city that meeting of the Directors will
soon be held, and tariff of rates made
for all the intermediate points. Until
then, the through rates will be paid fo
kilograms Salt Lake City, Carson City
Nevade Territory, and every other station
on the route. In estimating the cost OF
telegraphing from New York City, OF
other points. To San Francico, the reg
uar rates to st. Louis are simply addcc
to those which are, or may be, fXct
for the Pacific limo beyond.
| There is n difference of about 4SI de-
grees Of longitude between New York
City and San Francisco. If telegram
were instantaneously sent over the whole
line, it would reach San francisco at Il
time, according to the clocks of that city
about three hours aud fifteen minutes be
fore the time at which it left New York
according to the clocks here Thus Il
despatch sent from this city at the high
business hour Of l04 A. NJ. would ar
rive at SaE Francisco before the man to
whom it was addressed was out of bed
while dispatch started from this city
in the edge ofthe evening would find the
same man up to bis neck in business.
Though these astonishing things are
theoretically possible. yet, practically
it takes an appreciable space Of time to
get despatch from New York to the
Pacific. The weather is rarely favorable
for tho telegraphic feat of working so
long distance without repeating; and,
even il it were, the various divisions OF
the line would be scarcely ever unoccu-
pied with business which could be Suspen-
ded to let dispatch straight through.
Under the present arrangement, the
New York telegram is copied four on five
times before it reaches San Fracisco, and
has to take its turn with other dispatch
at every repetition. Messages may be
sent and answers received in the same
day; but. if tho wires are crowded with
business, communication back and forth
will probably take part of two days
For all practical purposes this is almost
as good, though not rear so amazing, as
the instant tclegraphic flash. On specially
important occasions, like the arrivals of
European steamers, when the atmosphere
along tho whole lineis Just right. the wires
will he worked from New York, and even
from Halifax to San Francisco, without
interruption.-N T. Journal of Commerce.

Down on the Administration

We now place it On record that it may be
preserved as a matter Of history, that u very
large majority, all the abolition portion, of the
Republican party Of this county are down on
the President for removing Fremont If Demo
Gratis had, three months ago. said half as much
agrinst Mn. LINCOLN as Republicans now say, they
would have been in great danger Of being mobbed.
The President removed Fremont for the violation
of law, dishonesty and incompetcncy and he did
perfectly right in so doing Were he to remove
few thousand more who are dishonest and in
competenthc he would do n good work, and the honest
masses who think more Of their country than they
do Of the niger will sustain him in it.

MAGGIE.

Brighter than the golden treasures,
Which the sordid heart beguile,
Are the pure and CHERISHED pleasures
That attend sweet Maggie's smile;
And the earnest hearts devotions,
Offer'd at the shrine of fame,
Can not yield the glad emotions
That awaken at her name.
Sweeter than the songs of greeting,
When the vernal warbcrs come,
Or the sound of streamlets fleeting
To their distant ocean home,
Is her voice, whose soft infection
Falls upon the list'ning ear,
Like the tones of fond affection
Borne from some celestial sphere.
And the rays, that, brightly burning,
Wrcathe the earth with rosy light,
When the moons unclouded cleaning
Dissipatcs the gloom of night,
Fade beside the tender glory,
Resting in her gentle eye,
That repeats the glowing story
OF her young hearts purity.
Oh, the world hath nothing dearer
Than her presence sweetly fair,
And the brightest scenes are fairer,
When she fingers gently near.
Blessings, pure as ever mortal
Life may gild with fadeless ray,
Hopes, that glow with beams immortal,
Crown with beauty Maggie's way!
