New Telegraph Enterprise.

The expiration of most of the patents,
under which the business of telegraphing
has been a monopoly, is leading to the
formation of new companies, and the
building of rival lines over nearly the
whole country. One of these rival lines
is already in operation between Boston
and Philadelphia, and to be extended to
Washington, called the Independent Line.
Other companies are being organized, but
the most important of all is one started in
New York with So, ooo,o 900 capital, formed
under the general law of the State of New
York in regard to such corporations. This
company, we understand, proposes to ex-
tend wires from Halifax, by way of Boston
and New York, to Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington, with branch from New
York, via Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, De-
troit, Chicago, to Milwaukee, and another
branch to extend from Philadelphia to
Harrisburg, thence to Pittsburg, Column
bus, Cincinnati, Louisville and st. Louis,
with lateral branches to all the chief towns
in the Western States. Heretofore lines
have been erected by contractors and spec
ulators, the stockholders suffering, and be-
ing compelled to pay exhorbitant sums.
The last mentioned company proposes to
use nothing but the very best material,
having the work done for cash, and in the
most substantial manner. Upwards of
million of dollars we're subscribed in New
York city to the capital stock Of this COM
pany within ten days after the books were
opened.

Mr.. WINDOW voted in the negative. On
division by tellers, before the yeas and

selves too timid to withstand the tempta-
ton or to brave their constituents.

The Cotton Distress in England.

Statiscs of cotton distress, gathered by
the Manchester Central Committee, show
that four hundred and fifty-six thousand
seven hundred and eighty-six persons, or
rather more than one in five of the whole
population, are dependent upon some form
of charity, which supplies something above
e75,ooO to fill up the gap made by the loss
of 917O,O0O.
The usual average of persons dependent
in England upon public charity, in the best
of times, is one in twenty. In 1907 there
were SO dependent one in seven of the en-
tire population, which was the highest ev-
er reached until the present experience.
The average, at this time, as stated above,
is one in five Of the whole population.

Movements of Gen. Wool.

General Wool inspected the Notifications
in the harbor of Portland. In a speech
made subsequently he said;
In all his life he had never met with a warm
er deception than from the people of Portland,
or one that would be more carefully cherished
in his memory; and he accepted it not as per-
sonal compliment, but as an expression of 10y
atty to the Government, and of determination
to stand by its flag, and to submit to no peace
based upon less than the subjugation of the re-
belliOn and the unconditional triumph Of the
loyal Government over all that may oppose it.
Appropriations to the amount of $780,
900 have been made for completing the
forts in Portland harbor, and contracts for
material are already completed.

Officers and Men.

But, bringing all the aforesaid States to
an estimate for 1860, we will put their
aggregate militia force between eighteen
and forty-five years at seven hundred
thousand men. Ofthis number at least one
hundred thousand have been lost already
since the beginning of the war, and the
four hundred thousand which are now in
the field embrace very nearly the last
white man that can be withdrawn from the
agricultural and manufacturing pursuits of
the rebel States, which are indispensable
to the maintenance of their soldiers in the
field, the subsistence of their families at
home, and the government Of the slaves
on their plantations.

Democratic Successes In New York.

Democratic Successes in New York.
The spring elections in New York have
everywhere resulted in victories for the
Democracy. In most cities and towns the
contest was not upon local or municipal,
but on national issues, the Radicals on one
side supporting the policy of military alb
clifton, and the Conservatives on the other
standing for the maintenance of the I'm
ion upon the letter and spirit of the con-
stitution. The result is another victory for
the Union cause
The returns thus far received show
Rochester Democratic by 500.
Geneva, Democratic by $50
LOckpOrt, Democratic largely.
Troy, Democratic by LOO.
Utica, Democratic by 60.
Auburn, Democratic by IL.
OswegO, Democratic by 108.
Saratoga, Democratic by ICY.
BallstOn, Democratic by 1872.
Leroy, Democratic, first time in 81 years.
In short, as the Rochester Union express
es it, Democratic victories everywhere,
and still they come"
Military abolitionism may as well, first
as last, be set down as "played out" The
conservative sentiment of the country,
which has managed the government of this
country, successfully, peacefully and pros
perously for two-thirds of century, pro-
poses to have something to do with the
managementin future, and also as desir-
able prerequisite to see that it shall have
future.

In this estimate is included all able
bodied white men between the ages Of
eighteen and forty-fve years. Making
liberal allowances for the able-bodied young
men between eighteen and twenty, who
are excluded by the act, and for all other
exemptions, the available white militia
forces of the loyal portions of the Union
States, parts of States and Territories
may be safely set down as fully up to The
grand aggregate of four millions Of men
-aln,os, equal to the entire echite popula-
ton, men, ,conaen and children, Of the
rebel States. From this sum total, under
the Presidents several acquisitions first
for $4,000, second for 500, 1000, third for
100000, and fourth for ,0OO-there
have been drawn an aggregate, we dare say,
not exceeding one million of men; and Of
this aggregate there are now some 7O0,000
in the field. The killed, wounded and
missing, and those who have died OF dis
ease, and those who have been withdrawn
from the field in consequence of the expira-
ton of their terms of volunteer service,
will make up the difference of three hun
bred thousand men.
Thus it appears that, with 100000 men
in the field, and a naval force equal, for
the purposes of this war, to an army Of
half million of men, we have militia re-
served force of three millions to fall back
upon.
FORCES OF THE REBELLION.
The armed forces of the rebellion in the
field, on the other hand, can hardly exceed
four hundred thousand men. Nor have
the rebellious States any militia reserves
from which to replenish their armies in the
field. The latest official returns received
at the Adjutant Generals Office at Wash
ington represent the enrolled militia of the
States now involved in the rebellion as
follows:
