Telegraphic Freiscs..

The London O5seroer, in an article relative 70
telegraph between Europe and America, says
There is reason to believe that attempts viii
shortly be made to connect England sud America
once more by the electric telegraph, and this
time with greatly increased prospects OF perma-
neut succeSs Recent occurrences have i'm
pressed the governments OF EHglard and the
United States with the enorm0gs Importance Of
sach q lnesns Of Communication, and the Presl-
dent and government Of the United States have
decided on giving every support in Their power
to any well-cOnsidered project Of that kind. The
government of the United States have, ia a lib
eral manner, offered to subscribe one ha,f Of the
sum which would be required for making the
cable and give the use Of vessels Of their navy
in assisting 10 lay il, provided the British gov
eminent viii grant tho remaining portion Of tie
sum.
Mr. Cyrus ". Field, who took SO active a
part IN reference to the former Atlantic telegraph,
We are informed has undertaken mission 70
this country for tlle purpose Of inducing the
British government 10 act IN spirit Of equal
Iiharslity and cooperation with this friendly
offer on the part Of the United States AS farth-
eT evidence Of the friendly spirit which has aetu-
sted this 0iier, the government Of the United
States are perfectly content that the telegraph
should have its terminus on British territory, IS
that win afford the nearest point Of communica-
ton with England or Ireland. Any arrange
ments that would be entered into between the
/ two governments would, Of course, provide for
I the efficient working and use Of the line, and
would guarantee its protection by both countries
: 10 the event Of hosiilifies. We are az loss to
see upon What grounds orr government can re-
fuaa to respond iavorably to the oaer, which, u
not already made, viii shortly be submitted 70
It's consideration.

The Houston Telegraph says:
The troops on the books at Austin, as being in

regiments Of cavalry, one battalion Of artillery,
seven companies Of ligEls artillery and six inde-
pendent cornpanies OF artillery, IN all at least
twenty-six thousand men, aud the majority Of
these are enlisted for the war. The whole

Western Texas to the effect that 1900 men bad

making a demonstration there Detachmenfs

aated. Should they succeed they may infiet
some injury to Corpus and about the bsy. This
is not q. al likely.

lowing:
