THE TELEGRAPH LINE.-We have it from
good authority, that the Overland Tcle-
graph Company and the line from here to
San Francisco lack in liberality towards the
gentlemen who have interested themselves in
the Sanitary Fund business. They are re-
quired to pay for every little dispatch which
passes over the wires concerning this Santa
~ Fund business. This is wrong-and we
would suggest TO the managers of the tele-
graph lines, tha, they DC a little more liberal
in this respect. o. course we cannot blame
the operators here in Washoe, as doubtless
they are performing the orders OF their supe-
.iors. The Telegraph Company across the
continent, especially, can and saould be lib
esal in aiding any and everything pertaining
to the Sanitary business.

Alleged Northern mitigation of the
Capture OfPaducah.


The following statement of tue n
Y. Worlds Washington correspond
ent, we give for what it is WORTH
The matter has already been noticed
in our dispatches:
Thnro nro, ho,-e,rt, I;cts CONNECT
ed with Forests raid in Kentucky
which have not yet come to light, an i,
which, if true, as / have strong reas.
on to believe, are Of the most serious
Importance, and considerably impair
the success Of the Union caTse.
/ am informed by authorities whom
/ have no reason to suspect that For
rests expedition has been planned,
not by himself nor by the rebel gov
ernmcnt,-who, although intending
the invasion of Kentucky, had not Sc
lccted Paducah as an ohjectivc-but
by northern men of Illinois, Ohio
New York, and Maryland, who have
been in correspondence with Forrest
for the last month, and who have paw
cd his way to the latter city and kept
everything ready for his arrival.
To understand fully the depth and
extent Of this conspiracy it is ncccs-
sary to know that, wearied and made
destitute by their last attack against
Generals Smith and Gricrson, For
rests soldiers were in no position for
prosecuting their career of plunder
any longer, unless they were provid.
ed with rev equipments and fresh
ammunition. In this emergency, For
rest applied to his friends in Kentuck-
y, who, afraid, OF exposing them
selves, adroitly informed houses in
Cincinnati, Baltimore and New York
of the state of affairs and of the
propositions made by the rebel chief
tains. These propositions were, il
seems, accepted, and the plan of in.
vasion agreed upon. In consequence
of this agreement large quantities OF
flannel shirts, pantaloons. coats, and
shoes were shipped tc Paducah from
various northern cities, with the OK
pectation that they wonld fall into the
hands of Forrest and his men, whose
expedition was TO pour gold into the
pockets of n certain class of northern
spectators, who see nothing else in
this war but way of making money.

A Female Vampire.

There is n young married woman
in the city, q native of the Canton of
Borne, Switzerland, who is afflicted
with disease which she calls ga dan
cling of the heart" aud which the
physicians pronounce incurablc. The
lady with the "dancing heart" firmly
believes that she can he cured by
drinking a few drops of the blood OF
a man who has been executed.
Her name is Elizabeth Mund, and
she is twenty three years of age, and
has been the mother of three children
none of whom survive. She has made
numerous applications Mt the Jail to
inquire when there would he an exc.
cution. and as there has been no case
of capital punishment in that institu.
ton for several months, her desire
for human blood has not been gratili-
ed. She heard that John Abshire,
sentenced BY conference.-the be hung
by the neck, was TO he executed in
the ail-yard on the 18th yesterday
as it was stated in the papers. The
execution of the sentence, however,
was suspended, and on being inform.
ell that the man was hot to he hung,
Mrs. Mund appeared to he greatly
disappointed and chagrincd. Captain
Bishop cheered her dropping spirits
however, by telling her that on the
fifteenth of April man would be
hung by the neck until he was dead,
dead, dead, and that she might then
appear and obtain dose of the blood
of Valentine Hansen, the murderer,
provided Governor Hall did not par
don or respite the criminal, and the
physician would allow her to extract
the curative fluid. With this pleas
ing assurance Mrs. Mund took her
departure, greatly consolcd. This is
a curious case of modern superstition.
