TBI; GOVERNOR'S MESSAUE.
On our first page will be found the mes
-age of Gov. Geary. It is a sensible docu
ment, creditable to the executive of our
State and worthy of a carefui reading by
every citizen. It shows a gratifying degree
of prosperity throughout our State and
gives a satisfactory exhibit of the State
finances, showing a reduction of the State
debt from Sept. 3, 1867 to Nov. 30, 1868
of <2,414,816,64. The attention of the
Legislature is again called to the necessity
for providing better security for the safe
keeping of the money of the commonwealth
as well as for some provision for the invest
ment of surplus funds in the Treasury for
the benefit of the State, instead of leaving
it in the hands of the Treasurer for specu
lation. It is to be hoped that the present
Legislature will give heed to the repeated
admonition of the Governor. The necessity
for retrenchment is earnestly urged upon
the attention of the Legislature as well a
the importance of passing the appropria
tion bills sufficient length of time before
adjournment to give time for their discus
sion and revision as well as the careful ex
amination of the executive before signing
them. The common Schools and Soldiers'
Orphans' Schools are commended to th.
careful attention and fostering care of the
State. The alarming increase of fraud in
our elections is adverted to and the passage
of an efficient registry law recommended.
Among other commendable suggestion
are an Insurance Department for the super
vision of our insurance companies and the
protection of insurers from fraud, and th<
establishment of a State Bureau of stalls
tics. A Bureau of statistics has long been
needed both for the guidance of our legis
lators in the enacting of such laws as would
be promotive of the public prosperity and
for calling the attention of the citiaens ol
other States to our agricultural, manufac
turing and mining interests and the ad
vantages offered for the investment of
capital therein.
Altogether the message is one of those
plain common sense business likedoeument?
that we expect to see from the executive of
a great State, setting forth plainly his owr.
official acts, showing the condition of the
Commonwealth in its various department
and recommending needed Legislation in
a brief, plain, unostentatious style. It is
creditable to the head and heart of our ex
cellent Governor aid receives merited
praise on every hand. Let no one fail to
give it a careful perusal.
NOT LP TO THE DARK..
The Pennsylvania Legislature is once
more in session. Its opening "13 not pro
pitious. We had hoped for at least one
honest outspoken man who would dare to
speak his mind on the topics that most in
terest the people. At the opening of the
session responsible parties offered to do the
pasting and folding for the present session
for §7,000. Last year, after the old style,
it cost the State §37,000. Here was a fair
opportunity for the Legislature to save us
at a single stroke $30,000. But party
hangers on must be provided for and this
offer was ignored on the plea of informality.
The Republican members went into caucus
and nominated a host of pasters and folders
and elected them and proceeded to do things
after the old PTtroronunt i-T* il.
victors belong the spoils" is a Democratic
watchword that Republicans cannot afford
to adopt. To honest men there should he
no spoils, and rogues should not be permit
ted to hold office. The people demand re
trenchment, the times demand it, and the
finances of the State demand it and every
Republican member who fails to lift up bis
voice against corruption and extravagance
betrays his trust and forfeits the confidence
of his constituents. And the lifting up ol
one's voice alone is not sufficient, his labor
and his vote must attest his sincerity. Oh!
for just one man who could forget policy
and devote himself to the promotion of
honesty and economy—Who would dare to
stand up for the right and leave his chances
of re-e.action with his constituents. If the
old rlan, of each member having half a doz
en hangers on who are to be rewarded with
petty appointments at Ilarrisburg on condi
tion that they support him for re nomina
tion and re-election, is not soon abandoned,
h ~s give a part of their attention to the
public business. As things stand at pres
cnt it is in great part devoted to securing a
re-election.

THE ENEMIES OF THE REPUBLIC.
A matter which figures in the Congress
ional reports as "The Sua Murfey Claim,, is
well understood to involve principles of
radical importance, and its dechion in be
half of the claimant will establish a class
of claims upon the Treasury, "depleting"
that attractive "grab bag" by an amount
variously estimated at from twenty-five to
one hundred millions of dollars. These
are the claims of Southern citizens, for the
use or destruction of private property
by our armies during the hostile occu
rancy of the rebel territories. All claims
of this character have • been uniformly
rejected by the Departments, and the effort
now in progress is to override their protests
by the force of positive enactments.
Now this particular Susau may he a
bright and shining light among the faithful
few who, during the rebellion, steadily
avowed their fidelity to the flag. Or, the
may have been the bitterest of the rebels
who contributed so powerfully to fire the
Southern heat, with au infernal enmity
against the "Yankees," and thereby pro
onged a contest which Southern statesmen
would have abandoned as a hopeless one at
least twelve morths prior to Lee's sur
render. The merits or demerits of this spe
cial case may not he safely taken into con
sideration, for, in either view, that ease
would be equally covered by the broad
principle, which, in the military occupation
of a hostile State, takes no legal account of
the rights of isolated individuals. Ignoring
this principle would open the widest door
for reclamations almost entirely without
ju>tice, and practically without limit.
If the Sue Murfey elaiui he allowed by
Congress, it will be tantamount to a sur
render of that branch of the government for
the next fifty days, to the combined assault
of all the enemies, open or secret, of Gen.
GRANT'S administration, of the public
credit, of the National honor, and of the
Republican party. This assault ha, up to
the present moment, been well resisted—
thanks to the honesty and ability of a large
number of Senators and Representatives
whom no bribes have yet bought, whom no
blandishments have yet seduced, and whom
no shameless jobs have yet betrayed into
any degree of complicity in the scandalous
corruptions which are fast making the State
and National legislatures fit subjects for
public and private reproach throughout the
Union. To the President-elect, also, the
country is deeply indebted for the patriotic
frankness with which he has given his great
personal and official influence, to aid in
stemming a tide of venality and baseness
which threatens to submerge the Treasury,
and to oblitera'c the last hope of its ultimate
escape from a dishonorable bankruptcy.
\\ e look with an anxiety which we do not
care to disguise to the fifty days now separa
ting us from the 4th of March. We implore
our friends—the friends of GRANT, of the
public honor, and the good name not only of
Republicans, but of Americans—to stand
firm, in their opposition to each and all of
the almost endless catalogue of pending
plot 3 in Congress to enrich individuals at
the public expense. Let us have the yeas
and nays on every vote, that the country
may know and mark the men who are will
ing to betray their official trust*. and blacken
their personal honor, for the emoluments
which no conscience but that of defaulters
swindlers and thieves could ever enjoy. The
Republican press is not all sold—nor is it all
for sale. Hundreds of unhought and un
purehasable pens are already chafing un
der the natural restraints, which have
caused remonstrance or denunciation to be
so long foreborne. The feather-weight
which breaks that camel 's hack may fall at
pledge to the plundering .swarm*, in or out
•>f office, at the Capitol, an outbreak of the
public scorn which will find no palliation in
past services, and will accept no sat isfaction, I
now or in the future, except the lasting in
famy of the criminals.— Pittsburgh Gazette.
RETIRING IN TIME.— Mr. IliesterClymer
smells defeat in the wind and taking time
by the forelock has already declined to be
the Democratic candidate for Governor in
the coming campaign. He don't want to be
the man of straw another time and retires to
itive place to some one else anxious to be
sacrificed. In his letter declining to be a
candidate, with cruel irony he tolls his
brethren in adversity that the canvass
should be an aggressive one. He tells his
fellow Democrats to go into tho fight, but
respectfully decliues the very doubtful honor
of leading them to sure defeat. The sign is
ominous. Defeat loom* up beforehand and
frightens aspiring candidates from the track.
The prospect of a clean walk over the track
w—j, „„„ -CCIIIS iigeiy to be our
next candidate, improves daily. Clymer's
movement is but one of tho signs of the
times.
MR. SEWARD has not been at all dis
couraged with the Alaska purchase, nor it
-eems with the late exposure of the means
by which the appropriation was obtained,
lie is now busy with the St. Thomas pur
chase and seems to have the lobby employed
toas.' i-t him. Our foreign office seems to
have tee:, turned into a general land agency,
corrupt at that, instead of the diplo
matic Department that it was originally in
tended to be. It is about time things were
changed or the office abolished.
THERE is a growing disposition to retain
the Tenure of Office Bill. Sensible men
begin to understand that the law in its main
features is a good one and in direct accord
ance with the clause of the Constitution,
which provides for the appointment of offi
cers by the President t ath the advice and
content of the Senate. We believe the law
a good one that ought not to be repealed
°ut of mere foolish caprice. Let it stand.
No elections for the Constituent Assem
bly of Spain have yet taken place. All the
recent cable dispatches, announcing the re
sults of elections for the Constituent Assem
bly, referred to municipal election*. The
elections for the Constituent Assembly, ac
cording to our latest advices from Spain,
had been fixed for the pre-ent month.
j . - - -
JT IS pretty well settled that few. if any,
of Andy Johnson's appointments between ]
now and the 4th of March will be confirmed j
by the Senate. This has been the rule of
conduct toward outgoing administrations
since 1845, beginning with John Tyler.
WE still have but little news from the Cu
ban revolution. The revolutionists are free
ing the slaves and aim at independence.
The news from the island is very meagre
and wc are unable to get any knowledge as
to the comparative strength of the conten
ding parties.
IT is still a matter of doubt whether
Spain will have a Republican or monsrchial
Government. The provisional Government
ts expected to continue until the Cortes
agrees on a Constitution. Until then the
question will not he sett led.
THE monthly statement ol the public debt
presents two suggestive facts. The increase
is due wholly to tbe Pacific Railroad and
there are near ly ninety-nine millions of coin
lying idle in tbe Treasury,

LETTER FROM IIA H RISBI KG.
Harrisbvug, Pa., Jan. 11, 1869.
ORGANIZATION OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Both Houses of the Legislature met on
Tuesday of last week and organized without
delav. In the Senate, Wilmer Worthing
ton of Chester, was elected Speaker: George
W. Hamerstv, of Philadelphia, Chief Clerk,
and Lucius lingers, of M'Kean, andF. 11.
Bragging, of Mercer, Assistant Clerks. The
House of Representatives was organized by
the election of John C'ark, of Philadelphia,
lor Speaker; General James L. Sdfridge of
Northampton, Chief Clerk; E. G. Lee, of
Philadelphia, Assistant Clerk, and John A.
Suiull, of Harrisburg, Resident Clerk.
Speaker M orthington has attained an age
that has rendered his hair white with years,
and step somewhat slow; hut his intellect is
of the vigor and elasticity of ripe manhood.
Speaker Clatk is about forty five years of
age, and is a contractor by occupation.
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
Llic two Houses will fnert iu joint couveo
j tion on Tuesday, the 19th inst., for the pur
pose of electing a United States Senator to
succeed Mr. Buckalew. The Republicans
having a majority of 3 in the Senate and 22
in the House, the Senator will be elected by
a Republican majority of 25 on joint ballot,
in case there is a full vote. For a week pre
vious to the meeting of the Legislature, and
up to Wednesday last the Senatorial ques
tion was theull absorbing theme. The most
prominent candidates were J. K. Moorehead
and Thomas M. Marshall, of Pittsburg; G.
W. Scofield, of Warren; G. A. Grow, of
Bradtord. and John Scott, of Huntingdon.
As the friends and supporters of each of the
candidates from Allegheny were equally un
yielding, it soon became quite certain that
j neither Moorehead nor Marshall could be
! nominated. Further than that it was im
j possible for newspaper correspondents and
reporters to predict with any certainty until
a few hours before the meeting of the Re
publican caucus on Wednesday. It then
became evident that the influence of Simon
Cameron was in favor of John Scott, and
when his name was brought before the cau
cu.i he was nominated by acclamation.
STATE TREASURER.
Until Tuesday morning of last week, it
was thought by outside parties that there
would be no formidable opposition to the
re-election of W. W. Irwin, of Beaver, as
State Treasurer. I' has usually been cus
toiuary in this State to re-elect the State
Treasurer for several terms, and Mr. Irwin's
friends, supposing this precedent would
still be followed, did not exert themselves
sufficiently until it was too late. It is alle
ged that the Pittsburg banks were opposed
to the re election of Mr. Irwin, on the
ground that the State funds were not de
posited to their satisfaction. Robert W.
Mackey, cashier of the Allegheny National
Bank of Pittsburg, was brought forward a
a candidate, and so suddenly developed
strength that when his name was presented
to the Republican caucus on Wednesday,
ho was unanimously nominated.
GOVERNOR'S RECEPTION.
The Governor's annual reception, given
to the members of the Legislature, and oth
ers, took place on last Thursday evening.
The spacious parlors ofthe Executive Man
sion were well filled with a large company of
ladies and gentlemen who seemed to enjoy
themselves as befitted the occasion.
REVISION OF THE CIVIL CODE.
The Commissioners consisting of .Messrs
Derrickson, Hall and M'Veagh, appointed
to revise the Civil Code ofthe State, are at
present comparing their work as far as they
have progressed. A report will be made to
the Legislature, of the number and charac-
given of*each section. The entire revision
is to be completed by November, 1870, and
reported to the Legislature of 1871. The
present Legi-laturc will probably do nothing
towards enacting into laws, the bills prepar
ed by the Commissioners.
HISTORY OF PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS.
The State Historian, Samuel P. Bates,
Esq., has published the first volume of the
History of the Pennsylvania Volunteers. Ii
makes a book of 1327 pages, large octavo
size. A beautiful lithographed representa
tion in colors of the badges of the several
corps, and also five maps and plans of battle
fields, are incorporated in the wcrk. The
State Historian estimates that the History
will he completed in two more volumes of
like size. The history of each regiment is
given separately, and an amount of care and
labor evinced to secure accuracy, that it is
difficult tor one not acquainted with the
manner in which the work has been pre
| pared, to appreciate. The work wl>n com
tucic, win pc an ciiuurtng monument to the
honor and glory of Pennsylvania's sons, who
fought so nobly fur the preservation of our
national integrity.
rhe National Life Insurance Company
of the Lnitcd States of America.
An insurance company, authorized to
i transact business in any part of the Union,
I wa ;- chartered by special act of Congress, in
July la.-t, and has begun active work in this
and other States. The new Company ha
some especially noticeable features and fact
to commend it to popular attention. One
of these is its paid-up capital of one million
dollars, which provides amply for all liabil
ities that may arise. The list of managers
of the Company includes C. H. Clark, as
I resident Jay Cooke, Chairman ofFinanc-
Committee, and others, whose names are too
high in national renown as upright and suc
cessful business men, to risk their reputa
ttons in any doubtful enterprise. But, aside
j from these prominent facts, are several novel
[ methods of insurance, first introduced bj
j this Company, which have shown them
selves to be very popular. Under the ' In
come Producing" plan, a young man may
provide for a yearly income after a term of
years, which may support him or his famil.s
:n comfort, however ha may have failed in
his business anticipations. Another plan
provides that by the payment of a slightly
increased yearly premium, the Company
will repay to the heirs of the insured all the
money which has been paid in premiums, in
addition to rhe amount for which he was in
sured, thus giving the insurance for no more
| than the interest upon the premiums. By
this plan, if a person insures for SIO,OOO,
and has paid $2,500 in premiums, his heirs
will obtain $12,500 at his death. Another
special feature of the National Life is that
it insures females at the same rate as males.
By its charter, its policies are all non for
lettable, and are also exempt from attach
ment, although they may be negotiated like
iri > tr These and other special
ities ol the new Company will be explained
at length by the Company's agents who ar.
advertised elsewhere in this paper. We

business for the new Company, starting
under such extremely favorable auspices

lias received information thatlhe retire
seotatives of tour hundred lodges of Catnan
che Indians had t-r.ved at Fort Baseotn,

we.e notified that no surrender would be

Grant Speaks his mi nil on things Mouth.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Demo
crat relates the following:
In a few momenta Senator was an
nounced, with Juilge , of Louisiana.
4 'Gcuera!," said the Senator, "Judge
wished to See you a few moments and
consult with you in regard to the improve
ment of'the levees of the lower Mississippi.
We wish the United States Government to
endorse, and thus guarantee the bonds of
the State of Louisiana for the restoration
and improvement of the levees."
"I hope the Government will not do it,"
the General replied witii a quick, positive
utterance that was not only decisive and
final on that subj.-ct, but almost stunning.
"But. General," urged the Senator, "we
only wi-h the United Sates to indorse tbc
bonds, so that we can sell them without a
ruinous discount, giving the United State"
ample security for the entire amount, so
that it would be impossible for the Govern
tuent to lose a cent in any emergency."
Again Grant quickly interrupted, "I
never knew a Government to become re
sponsible for any auinuut that it did not
ultimately huve to pay. You now want the
indorsement of the bonds. If that is given,
you will soon want to legislate for the pay
ment of the bonds.
"General." said the Senator, "you are too
hard on us."
"While we are discussing nn all sides,"
said Grant, "how the national debt is to he
paid, 1 shall oppose any increase of the
national obligations."
4 'lt is impossible to cultivate our lands,"
interrupted the Senator. "The levees are
absolutely necessary."
"I know all about the levees," he an
swered, "I served in that country when a
young man, and I had something to do
myself with the breaking of those levees."
"But," said the Judge, "millions of acre*
of the best land iu the world are subject to
overflow."
"Let tln-m overflow, and let them stay
under water, ' said Grant, "until their
owners are willing that Northern men and
Northern capital should conic in and pry
tect and improve them. Northern nun
with ample capital are ready to make a
garden of your State, and you won't let
ihcmdoit. Your large landholders are is
hostile to the United States Government
to day as they have ever been, and if the
Government should rebuild their levees it
wouldn't change them a particle, I know no
way the Government could have adopted
lor rebuilding the levees but to have enn-
Bseated the lands of those engaged in re
ticllion, and u.-t-d the proceeds to restore
the country. As that was not done, noth
ing remains hut to set your negroes to
woik and invite in and welcome Northern
men."
"General," said the Judge, "the negroes
wont work."
"Wont work," Grant quietly replied
'they'll work it you pay ihcm for it."
"Am I n-tt right ?" he added. "Is there
not such a hostility to Northern men that
it amounts in most sections of the State to
a practical exclusion of them from the
agricultural interests of the country? is
there not an unwillingness to divide up
'he lands and sell in small parcels to those
who might immigrate; and is there not a
general tendency to secure the services ol
the negroes without prompt and adequate
compensation ?"
"I uiii.-tsay. ' said the Judge," that there
is more or less of truth in all these points."
"Then, said Grant, "I think you will
have to build your own levees, or wait under
water until you arc wiiliug men should come
in who will build them."
The above, though not all that was said,
gives the substance and spirit of the con
versation. It shows much more plainly
than any statement I have seen precisely
where the President elect now stands with
reference to the South.
This conversation shows that whatever
he may hereafter do, he now stands by hi
past record, tie mean- that a citizen of
the I niled S'atcs shall bo recognized as
-ueh, and s> cured and protected in his
rights and privileges in every State; that
the freedom of the ftvedman shall he
recognized ami his labor fairly compensated;
that (he national obligations shall not be in
creased, and that the promoters of the late
war at the South shall not be aided by the
Government in repairing damages occasioned
by the war.
The Truth about Arkansni.
for yiUMW *RT .
that the reports which Eastern newspapers
have published, Intra been sent by agents
of the Associated Press, who are either reb
els or working in the rebel interest, and that
the Associated Press would not transmit a
telegtaui to the interest of Union men.
These repoits falsely represent the militia
as predatoiy, prowling bunds, composed of
negroes, and governed by irresponsible per
-ons, whose business it is to devastate the
State, plundering and murdering as they
go. This is all rebel falsehood. The truth
is as follows: In August, September and
October last, about twenty leading ltepub
ieans of the State were cither murdered or
severely wounded. Among the victims
were the Hon. James Hind-, the Hon. A.
M. Johnson, Captain Ma-on, the Hon. Jus.
Brooks, and the Hoti. Stephen Wheeler.
In addition to these, over two hundred col
ored men were brutally murdered for polit
ical reasons. Notwithstanding these out
rages were known throughout the State,
ihe Agents of the Associated Press did tot
give the facts to the public, nor did the |
eial correspondent of the Memphis Actl
•inch° have a word to say, except in the
ease of the murder of the Hon. James
Hinds, and the wounding of the H tn.
J antes Brooks, which was grossly mi-repre
-cnted. Let it be retucuiberi-d that previ
ous to calling out the militia, not a single
case of retaliation on ihe part of the Uuon
men had ever been charged. The murder
ers in many cases were known and were al
lowed to live in perfect secutiiy in the ctm
mtiniiies in which the outr ges were c<m
■nit ted. It attempts were made to teal
with them by the civil law, ihe officers w.-re
overpowered, killed or diiven off by he
lieb; 1 Democracy. The most notorious of
these assassins rode over the country mik
ing speeches by invitation, in which tfpy
boasted of their outrages. In every pait of
the btate leading rebels were continually
counselling opposition to the State Goteiu
ment, and the laws made under it. Gover
nor Clayton's office was daily besieged by
refugees begging protection from the State
in then 1 rights under the laws. Thus be
seiged, Gov. Clayton made use of the means
m his hands to ascertain the truth, and
when fully convinced that civil law could
not be enforced in these counties, he declar
ed martial law and called out the militia, in
which he was sustained by the unanimous
vote of the Legislature. The mihtia fi.st
sent to the field in actual seivice weie all
white men, mot of whom had seen service
in the United States volunteer army Th-se
were attacked by an organized band in Se
vier county, one of their number were kill
ed. and several were wounded. After ttd>
occurrence if Gov. Clayton had not organ
ized the colored refugees into the militia
force, Mr. Boles would, he says, have heen
suiprised. Clayton was unwilling to
call out the militia during the canvass, far
ing tli.it it might be misconstrued into an
electioneering scheme, aud therefore fie
on it bore the d'seredit of a Government
which did not protect its citiz- ns, and con
sented only when ail oilier hope of good or
der had failed. After having been thu
goaded to desperation, the Union men have
hnally resolved to have peace stall hazards
1 hey propose to go ju-t htr enough wiih the
niihtia to/attain this end, and will withdraw
'he militia as soon as they can be safe in so
doing. The Union , men are not influenced
in this move b.v malice. Their only aim i*
the enforcement of the laws which guaran
tee equal protection to uil persons.

Obituary.
Bottß Lorn at Dumfries, Prince
VV nliatu county, Virginia, on the I6tli ol
September. 1802. His parents removed to
nichmond, where they perished in the con
Htgratmn at the theatre, in 1811. Young
. at Ahe age of eighteen, w a . admitted
to the bar. His practice ot lawlast.d but
six years. He was elected to the Logi-la
ture, where he served from 1833 till 1839
He was then elected to Congress, and served
til 1843. Mr. Botts wa= a personal and
political friend of Henry Clay, and vas a
delegate to the Convention at Uarrisbure,
in 1839, which nominated General Harri-on
for President. During hi* quarrel with Mr.
Tyler, in 1841, on the Fi-eal Bank question,
he published letters denouncing Mr. Tyler
for treachery to the Whig party.
Mr. Botts served also in the Thirtieth
Congress, and afterwards withdrew from
public life. He sympathized warmly wirh
the Know Nothings, and a feeble attempt
was made ,n 1859 to place his name before
the people as a candidate for President.
Mr. Butts resumed the practice of the
law at Richmond in 1852. living like a Vir
ginia gentleman and spending his summers
at the North. He was very fond of the
turf and kindred sports, and occasionally
cD'ered a horse for the ptize.
The rebellion terminated his professional
career. He professed adherence to the
Union, and was permitted to live, unmoles
ted by the rebel authorities, llis farm was
repeatedly overrun during the war by both
aiuiies, and literally dug over for military

After the surrender of General Lee Mr.
Butts took a deep interest in political mat
ters, laboring earnestly for early restoration
of the State, but not with success. His
principal suggestions were generally disre
garded, or reluctantly adopted. Ho was a
delegate to the National Convention of
Southern Loyali.-ts in 1866. and in 1867
signed his name near that oi Horace Greeley
on the bail bonds of Jefferson Davis.
Since that time bis energies have steadily
given way, and he was unable to carry out
his purpose to speak during the recent can
vass in fvor of General Grant.

At the outbreak of the late war he resigned

These ports have a foreign commerce of $900,-
060,000, and an enormous domestic trade, beside
which we have the immense internal commerce of
the Empire, radiating from these points, through
its canals and navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this Company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means cf communication, whichmust
, command there, as everywhere else, the commu
; nications of the Government, of business, and of
social life, especially in China. She has no pos
tal system, and her only means now of communi
cating information is by couriers on land, and by
steamers on water.
The Western World knows that China a;
very large country, in the main densely peopled,-
hut a few yet realize that she contains more than
a third of the human race. The latest returns
made to her central authorities for taxing purpo
ses by the local magistrates make her population
Four Hundred and Fourteen Millions, and this is
more likely to be under than over the actual ag
gregate. Nearly all of these, who are over ten
years old, not only can but do read and write.
Her civilisation is peculiar, but her literature is
as extersivo as that of Europe. China is a land
of teachers and traders; and the latter are ex
ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every
proffered facilgy for procuring early information.
It is observed in California that the Chinese make
great use ef the telegraph, though it there trans
mits messages in English alone. To day great
numbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chinese
merchants, and used by them exclnsively for the
transmission of early intelligence. If the tele
graph we propose, connecting all their great sea
ports, were now in existence, it is believed that
its business would pay the cost within the first
two years of its successful operation, and would
steadily increase thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as a greater de
gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole
people. It is of a vast national importance com
mercially, politically, and evangelically.
The stock of this Company has been unquali
fiedly recommended to capitalists and business
men, as a desirable investment by editorial arti
cles in the New York Herald, Tribune, World,
Times, Post, Erpress, Independent, and in the
Philadelphia A'orth American, Press, ltdijer, In
quirer, Aye, Bulletin and Teleyraph.
Shares of this Company, to a limited number,
may be obtained at SSO each, $lO payable down,
