felegraphic communication has
been opened with Galveston. Texas, via
Pine Bluff, Camden and Shreveport.
Messages have already been transmitted
from Galveston TO Washington, and the
wire will be open to the public in few
days. This is one of the longest sections
of telegraph in the United States. The
route is as follows: From St. Louis to
Fort Smith, Arkansas; from Fort Smith
to Little Rock; from Little Rock to Pine
Bluff; from Pine Bluff to Camden; from
Camden to Shreveport, Louisiana; from
Shreveport to Marshall; from Marshall to
Houston, and from Houston to Calves
ton. The entire distance is about four
teen hundred milss. This brings the
heads of the Departments at Washington
within a few minutes of Galveston, which
is eminently desirable, on account of the
military situation on the Rio Grande.
1t is probable the wires will be extended
from Galveston or Houston to Browns
Vile, opposite Matamoras, so that every
movement on the Mexican frontier may
be known in Washington Immediately.
Washington telegraph., 1865-08-23

Great reforms cannot go per sata-they must
be gradual and arrived at by much fluctuating
experiment. For eighteen hundred and sixty
Eve years the Christian religion has been making
progress upon earth, and is still in the minority,
although inevitable as to final success. -Four
thousand years were required to prepare the
world for its advent. Let philanthrepists not
be wiser than their maker. but humble and pa
tient.
The negro is innocent of the war He is more
siancd against than SHINING. He has claim
upon our sympathy and care In his new csndi-
ton. Whilst kept in proper suborlnation for
the peace, order and prosperity of the conmuni-
ty, me has the claims of humanity upou us, and
should be treated with kindness and regard
for his future interests The Telegraph desires
srdently to see the. negro remandcd to the con-
troll OF the States, aud to see him treated wisely
humansly, and judciously. As it feels certain
would be the case. sValE~ 90 nia!al
With this candid expression of views and
feelings, expressed at this opportune moment Q I
change of editors, tho Telegraph floats on
ward wish the tutnre. hoping to mainsaim the
gsod will and respect Of all, and to succeed only
