THE CHURCH TELEGRAPH.-Brigha
Young is laboring to make his power
not only supreme but universal through
out the territory. Walk up this side
street and notice the telegraph wires ra-
dating from his private Office, connect

500 miles long. Do the commercial in
terests of the people require telegraph?
Are the ignorant creatures who but few
months ago were in the mines of Wales
and the alleys of English cities now en-
gagged in business here sufficient to de-
mand telegraph line? 1t is not an ed
ucated community, but on the contrary
one of the most ignorant of civilized
lands. Yet in every such settlement
there is bishop who receives his ap-
poiutment from Brigham. A corps of
girls have been taught telegraphy,

A Nashville correspondent of the st.

Feb. 6, in regard to the $500, 900 in spe.
Gle said to have been returned with the
Bank of Tennessee
about the goth of May, 1866, Brevet.
Maj. Gen. Up on, of the U. s. army
brought to Nas skville, and delivered to W.
G. Brownlow Governor, the archives of
the State of innessee,. captured at Au-
gusta, Georgi-, and an amount of coin
which was saA by the Nashville papers
to be sj00,0GO. All parties agreed in
stating the S; me amount. The Dispatch
an independent paper published in this
city, at the lme, was so precise as to give
an account with specific details, of the
manner in which the coin of the State
Bank, wb .ch had short time before its
capture amounted to $500, 900, was whit
tied down to $4,000. The editor of the
Press and Times, who was completely in
Brownlow's confidence, and was present
when the treasure was delivered. gave
the amount as 100000, and was so ex
act as to state the character of the pack
ages in which it came. There we're fifty
six boxes, two small casks and bag.
The bag was small one, and contained
just 81, 200 in gold. I was myself in
Nashville when this treasure arrived, and
conversed freely with prominent men Of
Brownlow's party, who saw the coin and
talked with the Governor about it. All
stated the amount as 100000. 1t was
not stated as an estimate, but count
And should like to know who ever
heard of coin being estimated. No one
ever dreamed that less than the sum Of
$500, ,000Sn coin was received, till Brown

While it is true that in their heroic
struggle for independence, finally secur-
ed to them by sympathising Europe, the
Greeks were less able than now to cope
with the power of Turkey, they have by
no means the same great stake to play for
in the present juncture.
If tb ! Greek government should, con-
trary present expectation, decide to re-
ject the terms of settlement, imposed by
the late conference, there will be good
reason to look for a general European
war. For, unless they have been struck
with madness, the cabinet of Athens will

Of course, it would be impossible to

Office ON the second foo Very few
persons wersuagesent on account of the
ceremony fxf3g place half an hour ear
lier than was announced, Gen. Logan
and the officers of Gen. Grants staff and
one or two newspaper reporters, were the
only spectators.
Senator Morton stated that they were
the committee appointed by Congress to
notify Grant of his election for Presi-
dent for the ensuing four years. He
said the result Of the late election was
exceedingly gratifying to his country
men, and he fully believed Grant would
bring to bear in the new sphere of duty
those sterling qualities he had display
ed in other fields of his duty, and he
felt assured Grants administration would
receive the cordial support of his coun-
trymen, and among them those political
ly opposed to him.
Gen. Grant said in reply: I will in
form the committee that my best efforts
shall be used to conduct my administra-
ton SO as to secure the best interests of
the country, and to call around me as
my assistants such men as in my belief
will be thoroughly able and efficient. I
am not prepared even now, to announce
the names of the gentlemen whom in
tended Offering positions in my cabinet,
and l hope this course will meet the ap-
proval of my friends. Until have made
nominations to the Senate I do not think
shall make any declaration whatever, as
to who ] shall select for any position in
my cabinet. 24E = .ssga
At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr.
Pruyn, Democratic member of the COM
mittee, stepped forward and said Al
though he and his party had opposed the
Generals election, he could count upon
their suppo rt in carrying out the policy
he had just announced.

The work of excavating the founda-
ton for pier for the Mississippi bridge
at st. Louis has led to discoveries that
are full of promise to archaeological in
quirers after truth. A heavy blast set
among the rock, on Saturday evening,
revealed subterranean passage that
passes under the river to the Illinois
shore, with numerous lateral branches.
The main passage is about twenty feet
high by fifteen broad, and is systematic
ally arched overhead, part Of the way
being cut through solid rock and pre-
senting evidences of substantial ma
sonry. The bottom was much worn as
if by carriage or chariot wheels. One Of
the lateral passages leads to large cham
Der supported by leaning pillars of solid
rock. In the walls were inches closed
with nicely fitting slabs bearing inscrip-
tions in Runic characters not unlike
those from the minds at Nineveh. Be-
tween the inches are pilasters with drap-
ed Assyrian or Egytian heads, wrought
with skill and awe inspiring effect. A
hall from this chamber communicated
with another, after q descent by flight
of forty-one steps. This last chamber
is oval in shape; its walls being sculp-
tured in magnificent base relief and Ru-
mic inscriptions. One of the groupes of
character is believed to represent Ahas-
uerus crowning Queen Esther, and anoth-
er that of Luke Deuteronomy? going in
to captivity. The entire discovery
speaks of a period at least. forty-four
centuries before the advent of Christ
If this is not canard Of wonderful
