There i. a strong probability that we shall
ere long be connected by telegraph with both
China and America and Europe. The New York
Tribune Of june Il says;
The East India Telegraph Company of New York

between HOugkong and Shanghai, and a contract
has already been made in England for the manuiIc-
ure o I tie cable. II will connect with all the inter-
mediate open ports ON the China coast. Before many

cities Of the civilized world will have instantaneous
communication with one another.
The project of going Immediately to work is
thus seriously entertained. and there can be no
Doubt of success. All it requires is capital. 1t
j. stated that since lS36 there have been estab-
li-iiol throughout the world 100, 600 miles of
telegraph lines, comprising 100000 miles of
wire. and working through nearly II 600 stations.
The total length Of submarine cables laid is
1928 miles. of which ~ cables, worth ST.
5G0. 900. are now in operation. The price of
tclegrnphing i much higher in the United States
than ia England.
The Southern planters are endelvoring t. in

In California, the Republicans who were dis

for Governor j. q. McCallum, of II Dorado, for
Secretary of State William Jones. OF Fl Dorado.
for Controller j. JciiTies, Of Sacramento, for
State Printer. They also adopted a new plat
foam. Gen. Bidwcil has declined To stand rs a
candidate. but the EuHehH states that the Re
puLli,aus none the les intend to vote for him.
The canvass for Governor in ilat State promises
To- H. a warm one. The election takes place the
Monday in September. We shall not be
surprised to hear of the dcction of the Demo

The European news is interesting. Among
other doings of Parliament. the Commons have
passed n law abOli-hing church rates. This old

Df the power of the English Established Church,

Tic attentions paid To Admiral Earragut in
France are particularly rmarkable, being such

highest rank, and ar evidently intended not
Jnly a. an international courtesy but rs Il tribute
10 individual heroism. Ii will be observed that

Emperor had invited him to 4 state dinner. How
much the attention of Europe was attracted by

world, is indicated by the receptions to which the
icrocs of the war are shown abroad.

Denmark has demanded Of Prussia the cession Of
