The Grcat Inte,nationnr Telegraph.

WAsHINGToN, April Z.
Mr.Collins has returned to Washingto after
nearly two years absence in Russia and Eng
land, negotiating for right of way and the
construction OF telegraph across Asiatic
Russia, Russian America, and British Column
bia, so as to connect Europe with America by
way OF Bhering Straits, it having been brought
to a satisfactory conclusion under favorable
terms, and now awaits the final action OF Con-
gress. We understand that Mr.. Collins will
soon present the plan TO Congress. 1t is due
10 Great Britain and Russia that their liberal
grants and concessions in aid of a purely in
ternational work of this nature, an enterprise
lraaght with incaleulable advantages TO the
United States aud the world at large, should
command promptly generous aid from the
United States. 1t certainly devolves upon our
government TO second this great enterprise.
and more especially now since Russia and
Great Britain have met the question in lib
eral International spirit, and cleared ii of all
question as TO right of way, so as to connect
London and ST. Petersburg with New York.
There never was an enterprise presented to
the consideration of government that pleads
more eloquently. 1t is the last link in a tele-
graphic chain that is to bind not only Europe
and America, but Asia and Africa as well, in
to one living and speaking unity.

The statement contained in special dis
patch to the New York World of the eth inst.
that the interest on the 10-40 loan will proba-
bly, be raised to 9 per cent, is Incorrect
There Is reason to believe that bonds bear
ing per cent, principal and interest payable
in gold, will command all the money the treas
urer will need to borrow. Instructions to the
National Banks acting as loan agents who is
sued March Goth, and the subscriptions report
ed to the United States Treasurer up to April
9th, amounted to SS,601 81. No doubt is en-
tertained that the subscriptions will rapidly
increase as soon as the various agencies are
organized aud in operation throughout the
country.

BALTIMORE, April 7.
Talbot county gives 300 and Essex $50 tor
the convention and unconditional emancipa-
ton. Worcester county is incomplete, but no
doubt has gone for the convention. Dorset
gives 800, Kent 200, Queen Anne $50 and
Somerset 400 against a convention and for the
Democratic ticket. Howard county has gone
for the convention, but the delegation is I'M
certain; it is thought it will be one conserva-
tive and two radicals.
Up to this evening the returns do not change
the general result as estimated last night.
There will doubtless be good working ma
jority for unconditional emancipation.
