The Telegraph.

Telegraphing was known and prac-
ticcd as early as 1854. At least it had
been brought to systom that early.
But it was practiced long ago, in the
earliest ages. But the first telegraph
ing was simply conveying Intelligence
by signals. In 1884 an improved
system was adopted by the French for
communicating from one part of the
army to another.
The telegraphing then was done up
on the same general principles adopt
cd for the signal corps during our late
war. This is the optical telegraph,
apa of course must be- nemnnsnd- of- -a...-
Telegraph means literally "writing
afar off," This art has been perfect
ed by the application of electricity.
The most wonderful application of the
telegraph we have lived to see in the
Atlantic cable.
The mere fact that one message is
written from ono end of that cable 20
the other, which is literally ''afar off"
shows there is no limit to the distance
upon the earth's surface over which
the telegraphic message may run.
There may be external causes to Grip
pie the permanent success of the At
lantic cable, such as the wire resting
upon sharp elevated rocks, and of it's
being, by the agitation of the sea, rock
ed until the 'chafing upon those rocks
wears through the insulating cover
ing. But the indications now are that
soon the world will be surrounded
with telegraphic wire running from
San Francisco across the United
States to Newfoundland, and on thro'
the Atlantic to London, and thence
through the Channel to Paris, thence
to st. Petersburg, and thence far into
Siberia, where the line already ex-
tends.
But the Russian Government is
preparing to continue their line
through Behring's Straits into Rus
sian America, and thence down the Pa
cifc coast to San Francisco, which
will bring the wire clear round the
world. This is certainly the day of
great achievements.

tiee his profession, led to the altar lady who
had won his love. The young hysiciau, with
that professional a.dor which burns SO bright

turn home procured subject" or caderer,

Especial despatch TO the N. Y. Times,1

WARRINGTON, April 10.
As there Is much speculation concerning
Jefferson Davis, and rs there have recently
been rumors of process being commenced to
release him from confinement without trial,
It may be stated that the Secretary Of War In
letter dated January 4, says that Jefferson
Davis has not been arrafgned upon Indictment
OF formal charge Of crime, but has been lu-
Grand Jury Of the District or Columbia, which
Indictment is now pending in the Supreme
Court OF sad district. lie Is also charged
with the crime Of melting tho assassination
of Abraham Lincoln, md with the murder OF
the Union prisoners Of war by starvation, and
them. The Prealdent deeming 1t expedlent
that Jefferson Davis should first be
put upon his trial before q competent court
and Jury, for the crime Of treason, he vas ad-
vised BY the law officers Of the Government
tbat the most proper place for such trial was
tho judicial circuit assigned to the Chief JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court, who has held no
Court there since the apprehension Of Davis,
and who declines for an indefinite period 10
hold anY Court there. The matters above
stated are, so far as am informed, the
reasons for holding Tea: Davis in confinement, h'
The Attorney General Of the tinted States
expressed himself against the doctrine Of

that Jefferson Davis and others Of
the insurgents ought to be tried Ia
