There are three routes in contemplation
for connecting Europe and America by
telegraph. One Of these routes is from
Cape Race, on the coast Of New
foundlsnd, to Vslentis Bay, on the coast
Of Irlsnd. This is the route on which the
cable was laid in 1858, and the result is
well known. Another attempt to lay the
cable on the same route is to be made in
1866. The distance from shore to shore is
two thousand miles, a greater distance
than has ever been worked successfully in
one circuit, either OF land or under water.
1t remains TO be seen whether science will
be able to overcome the great difficulties
attending the accomplishment Of this
great feat as the friends Of the enterprise
are confident Of doing.
Another route is contemplated, via Behr-
ing's Straits, and thence around the Psci-
&c Ocean to the Amoor river, and by the
Russian line to St. Petersburg. There are
no physical difficulties on this route which
may not be overcome with money. The
only submerged line would be across Beh-
rings Straits, about forty miles. That
portion Of Asia around the sea of 0eholsk
is unknown; and the climate severe. The
distance from New York TO St. Petersburg
on that route is not less than sixteen thou
sand miles. The construction Of tele-
graph on this route will be begun the pres
ent season.
Another proposed route is from the
coast Of Labrador, via Greenland, Iceland
and the Faro Isles, to the North shore Of
Scotland. The lengest distance from shore
to shore is less than i've hundred miles-s
less distance than lines are now success
fully working in the Mediterranean. Col
onel T. P. shafFner made an exploration Of
the route in 1860, and sgsin with the aid
Of the British government in 1861, and
found no unexpected obstacles 10 prevent
his success. The water is said to be so deep
that ieebergs never touch bottom on the
route Of the cable.
In letter from Colonel Shaffner, he
says he has nearly enough money sub
scribed to complete his line. The United
States Telegraph Company have informed
Colenel Shsffner that they will furnish
him with the amount which he requires to
complete it. The United States lines will
connect with Colonel Shsfner's ocean line,
either at Quebec or on the coast Of Lsbra-
dor. One or more Of the lines TO Europe
will undoubtedly be completed in less than
two years, when words will be transmitted
from continent to continent with almost
the rspidity Of thought.

The Christianity Of the Day is living in
adultery with sbolitionism, and their off
spring are the agencies we have noted,
the Iswlessness prevailing in the nation,
and the corruption fostering in the man
agement Of all our public affairs, and
reaching out after every citizen whose
virtue it supposes may be tainted by the
offer Of spoil Chicago Times.
The brazsn faced efrontery Of these Cop
perbesds is amazing. Convinced that the
moral and religious influence Of the cOun-
try is against them, they betake them
selves to the cheap resort Of denouncing
Christianity and the pulpit.
The Christian minister who boldly re-
Dukes the political sins of the dsy, has
nothing but denunciation from yeur pious
Copperheads. Themesly-mouthed preach
er, who prates in beautiful distractions
about tho Christian grsces, or opens his
batteries upon some minor sins and peca-
dillos while totally forgetful Of the enOr-
nous crimes perpetrated against the rights
of man, is 8 model saint and receives the
plsudits Of the whole tribe Of COpperhesds
far and wide. Such fsnfsronsde as the
above has but little effect upon the truly
educsted and Christisnized ministers Of
the land. They know their obligations to
God and man sRd feRrlessly fulfill them.

The llisceEen Party.

There are in the United States about
100000 mulsttoes-persOns whose meth
ers we're Of African descent, but whose
fathers OF grsndfathers were white men.
1t is not probable that of this whole num-
Der ten Of them are the children Of Repub-
liean fathers. All the rest Of the 100000
were begotten by democrats of the
Copperhead and Confederate breeds.
Where there is one case Of miscegenstion
between Republicans and wenches there
are ten thousand between those who call
themselves democrats and negresses.
The Republicans want to have the blacks
let alone, and the only way to pre-
vent smslgamstion with them is to
give freedom to them When once
free, the male blacks take care
Of the female blacks and prevent
miscegenstion. In state Of slavery they
are subject to the absolute will and brutal
lusts Of their democratic masters, and
g progeny Of fmulsttoes is the consequence.
The whole African race in the South is
being bleaehed out by the Democratic mis-
cegenation. Emancipation is the sole pre-
ventive and this the Democrats, North and
South, 6ercely resist. Why? Because it
would put an end to misoegenstion Which
is the miscegen psrty-the Republicans
who want to put an end to the vile prac-
tice by releasing the female blacks from
the lustful clutches Of the masters, or the
Democrats who insist on retaining posses-
sion and control Of them Chicago Tribune

Springfield, Mass, who until recently has
done all his chewing very comfortably
with his first set of natural teeth, the ar
rangement by which q second set is sup
piled in childhood having been entirely
overlooked in his case. But within few

The Boston Journal relates that in the

is sometimes required, and the munifcent

News from the Red River Expedition.
We have already laid before our readers
dstails Of Ihis important movement.
From letter to the New York Tribune
dated Alexandria, on Red River, March
"a, We make the following extraction the
results Of the expedition up to that time,
and illustrative Of Yankee genius;
FRUITS OF THE EXPEDITION.
When we consider the exceeding small
loss Of life, this expedition may justly be
ranked as one Of the most successful Of the
war. Following, as it has, so closely upon
the heels Of the gallant capture Of Fort
De Russy on Red River, the projectors and
executors, Generals A. ]. Smith and John
a. Mower, deserve the gratitude and
hearty thanks Of the loyal public for the
rapidity and success with which they have
conquered and routed some Of the best
Rebel troops in this bitter Rebel State
The I'd Louisiana cavalry, most Of whom
were captured, was looked upon as the ne
plus ultra Of Southern chiYslry, and with
the traitors Of both sexes it was q pet regi-
ment. As the Rebel cavalry flag hung be-
meath our iaR, the irritation Of the Rebels
was intense. particularly while passing n
front of the Rebel residences, but as it was
a aoEeus volens affair with them, they sub
mitted with as good grace as possible to
the contaminsting presence Of their mud
sill captors. The results Of this expedl-
tion are as follows: Two hundred and
eighty-two prisoners, including twenty
commissioned officers, one full battery,
Edgsr's Texas Artillery, four pieces, two
6-pound, and two 12pound howitzers,
several wagons, $50 good horses, embrse-
ing SO fine artillery horses with complete
harness and other necessary equipments.
The prisoners will leave here to-day on
the steamer Luminsry, for Baton Rouge,
where the Fort De Russy installment are
rustieating in one Of Uncle SamuePs ho-
tells.
The beauty Of their present position is
in the color Of the loyal men who are faith
fully guarding them. The Fort De Russy
chiValry were bitterly opposed to the
black troops, saying they "would rather
die than be guarded by niggers" As q
piece Of Rebel gssoonsde, the following
from the Fort De Russy prisoners is
worth Of record: Several Of them told me,
in vaunting tone, that they had orders
to ignite the three magazines and blow up
the fort with all in it. if they saw any
colored troops among our forces. When
asked If they intended to comply with this
remarkable order, they replied, Of course
they would, for they never discbeyed the
commands Of their superior officers
What pity we had no A. D. troops with
US for, according to Rebel bombast, we
should not have had the trouble or cost Of
transporting and feeding these blatant
traitors.

Ths CoIes Couutr Cepperhend..


The latest intelligence from that quar-
ter represents the rioters IS having fed
in every direction. A number Of them
have been arrested and sent to Springfield,
Illinois. When on the cars, they would
have been hanged BY the infuriated and
indignant people, had not the guard Of
soldiers prevented it. The investigation
held ct Msttoon shows q deliberate plan
70 murder all the soldiers in Charleston.
The promptness with which this copper
head riot has been put down, shows that
the National Government has the power to
manage rebels in the North as well as
those in the South. The loyal people be-
isYe that power ought to be exercised.
The day has gone for allowing blatant
treason to stalk unpunisbed in the North.
Let the Republic vindicats its integrity
against rebels in the field, its honor
against Oopperhsad riots in the North.

PADUoAH, KY, March 30.
But amsll portion Of the town is des-
troyed by the late battle. About fifty
houses nearest the fort were burned by
order Of Colonel Hicks, to prevent their
becoming q shelter for shsrpshooters q
second time. Some Of these we're fine res
licences. The finest one in town was thus
destroyed. It belonged TO DR.. Saunders,
who is a noted rebel, and who is reported
to have manufactured torpedoes for the
rebels at Columbus, when they held that
place.
Approaching from the river, the town
presents q worse appearance than Vicks-
burg did after the siege. There is scarce
ly building but bears the mark of shot
or q SHE'LL and some Of them are complete
ly riddled The buildings were not fred
upon unless there was r suspicion that
Lhey concealed rebels.
One little incident shows the accuracy
Of the FIRE. 1t was reported that some
rebel officers were in the saloon Of the
Continental Hotel, making free with the
liquor-a shot was sent which swept the
counter clear Of everything.
Farther back from the river and the
fort, the damage was less, but limb cut
from tree, or corner knocked from a
house are Of frequent occurrence in all
parts Of the town.
1t is generally believed that Forrest is
on grand raid for the purpose Of plum
der, and getting conscripts and horses.
He is certainly obtaining these in large
numbers, and sending them South. saw
several that he had -oonscripted and who
had escaped with great difficulty.
He also wished to give his men a short
furlough, many Of them belonging in this
part Of the country. There is no doubt
but that he intended to capture some point
on the river, and hold it as long as possi-
bic to stop the boats. The men that were
killed at Psducsh, had spikes in their
pockets for spiking the cannon.
The whole country is filed with rebels,
though Forests headquarters are at Pry-
orsburgb, six miles south of MAyfeld, and
most Of his force is in that vicinity. He
Acknowledges that his force was badly
crippled in the recent fight. Whether he
viii attack any more of our posts, or leave
with what he has already obtained, is un-
certain, but probably the latter will be the
case.
