The TELEGRAPH.-Some Of our readers
are not aware Of the reason why telegraph
ic dispatches by the Atlantic cable are SO
long on the way. The following is said to
be the cause:
The cable which connected Nova Scotia
and Newfoundland (between Aspe Bay
and Cape Ray) having been broken, there
is at present no communication across the
Bay Of 81. Lawrence-about eighty miles
except by a sailing yacht. Communities

W. u Tournament took place al Alillican
on the End inst, which the correspondent
Of the Galveston News describes as bril-
liant affair. The News gives list of the
knights who took the hon ors, and in speak
ing of the address of the Orator of the Day,
Major Frank Clark, adds;
"The Grafton was one of the finest it has
been our pleasure to listen 10, both with re-
gard to matter and in the manner of its
delivery--bold and pointed, yet dignifed
and chaste--intensely loyal, arc thought so
far as regarded the President and his policy
but appropriately severe so far as pcrtained
to-the corrupt and fanatical parties who are
arrayed against the President.
The assemblage seem to be perfectly sat
isfied with the address, and all that we
heard speak of it expressed themselves
highly delighted with it, but it seems the
Commandant Of the Post, who had been
honored by position on the stand near
the speaker, has taken exceptions 10 the
sentiments expressed on the occasion, and
has had the gallant Major arrested for DO
ing what we have always innocently sup
posed every citizen had a perfect right TO
do, viz TO criticise the actions Of public men,
and particularly those who were attempt
ing to destroy the Government, SC.
The speaker has refused emphatically TO
retract a single word spoken by him on
that occasion, and presume will be re-
tanned in arrest, although there has been
no specific charges made. more than the
sweeping charges Of disloyalty.

bfTParis, Lamar County, which has al
ways we'll sustained her schools, is about to
increase her facilities for the instruction
of youth of both sexes. These institutions
are to be on an extensive scale as will be
seen by the following which we take from
the Press Of last Saturday. Why cannot
Dallas exhibit some enterprise of this kind
they would do more towards building up
our town. increasing her population and
improving society than almost anything
else that could be done. Some movement
has been made towards this matter within
the past few months, we are aware, but
what progress has been made in the prem
Uses or what prospects of success, we have
not been informed. We should be most
happy to record the erection of such a
building, devo cd exclusively to learning,
as that spoken of in the first of the follow
ing articles: n

New Female School.

Those of our friends who feel Interested
in the prosperity of our city will be glad to
learn, if not already informed, that we are
TO have school here for the education of
females that will be second TO none in the
South, or in the Union, il those interested
in its establishment to carry into effect
their present plans. The foundation for
building has already Been laid, aud no
pains or expense will be spared to have
building that will Combine all the modern
improvements for promoting the health and
comfort Of the inmates.
The spot selected for the building is in
grove East OF, and adjoining the premises
of Dr.. a. s, johnson, South of the road
leading towards Olarksville, and little
over one half mile from the court house.
The spot selected commands iiae view Of
the prairie South West Paris. The building
now in process of erection will be of the
following dimensions: The main building
will be 4Sx70' feet gables North and South,
with ellis Of 40 feet in width running from
the South end of the main building GO feet,
making its length from East to West one
hundred and sixty-eight feet. The height
will be two stories over basement and
foundation of brick. A hall will extend
from the entrance TO the main building, on
the North side, through its entire length,
thus allowing the South breeze in the SUM
mer season TO pass through it. So much
for the first building 10 be erected for this
new institution. AS TO the character of the
school we vii state what we have heard
from those who ought to be able, above all
others, to impart correct information that
the school is for the education Of females
exclusively. The teachera who have been
engaged, by Rev. o. z. Stark-who is con-
trolling the matter, and may be regarded
as the principal founder-haye been select
ed on account of their qualifications as
teachers, and not on account Of their relig-
ious opinions. The school will not be con-
trnlled in the interests OF any particular
denomina tons of christians. One of the
three teachers engaged is an Episcopalian;
one Baptist; the third, as we understand,
is Presbyterian.
MALE ScuooJ.--Paris has long needed,
and is now about TO be supplied with a
T1Rsr CLASS MALE SCHOOL. Our friend,
Judge William Bramlette, late Chief Justice,
and Prof Brown, formerly Professor in a
North Carolina College, and for the last
year teacher in MeKenzie's College, have
associated together for the establishment Of
just such school as this place needs. For
the present they will occupy, rs We learn,
the old Female Seminary building. Ii is
the intention Of Messrs. Brown and Bran
letie 10 have an institution that will be
worthy of patronage from all sections Of
the country. Their qualifications are such
a. 70 insure them success.
