A TELEGRAPAIc VIBRArIoN.--Ths .ele'

month communication being destroyed, as
reported, by Indians. As much as len days
ago they were said to have been driven of,
and we have since constantly looked for news,
bu! NJ to this time we have ha to rely upon
daily promises that the line would soon be
all right. Yesterdays papers repor, that
private dispatches had been brou ;ht round
the break from Jueshurg to Mad Springs,
with dates of February 4lh. No dispatches
to the press came to hand. The substance
Of one private dispatch is given, as follows:

Gold in New York to day, 2l3.
There are rnmors of dispatches Of later
date, placing gold AT 220 and 226, but they
are considered as speculative.
Information comes from Salt Lake that
the line is almost repaired, AMI at any hour
voluminous dispatches may be received
bringing up The delayed news from Feb. lst.
The dispatch above quoted. substantia,es
the last dispatch received before the break,
OF The arrival of Confederate Commissioners

Stephens II their mission has resulted in
nothing, aud they havs returned to Rich.
moud, it is possible tho Government may
mpart some truthful information TO the pub
! lie in connection with this rumored effort at
peace, for while Mr.. Blair was travelling be-
tween tho two capitals, tue press teened
with so MANY sensation stories in relation
thereto, that it was difficult to obtain mod

turned home, there will be 40 occasion for
truth would give new and pleasant senssl

At last accounts Gen. Sherman was NOV.

A most important discovery, far more SO
than that Of the alleged source of the Nile,
has just been made in South America. 1t
is that the great river Amazon has been
found navgabe from one end TO the other;
that, in fact, a new route has been opened
between The Atlantic and Pacific. The
Morona, a Peruvian steamer, which was sent
to explore the Amazon. has arrived from
Mayro, about 800 miles from Lima. The
Morono navigated more than 1000 miles OF
the Amazon proper and 600 of the 4esya!l
and the Pachtes rivers, which, until then,
bad seen only Indian canoes. This country
is, of course inhabited only by savages, but
