Tho cable being laid, this Company proposes 'erecting land lines,and establishing a speedy and trustworthy means of communication, which must command there, ns everywhere else the communications of tlio Government, of busi ness, and of social life, especially In Chinn. Sho has no postal system, and hor.only means now of communicating information Is by couriers on land, and by steamers on water. Tho Western World knows that China isa very largo country.

It Is observed in California that the Chi nese make great use ol the telegraph, though it there transmits messages in English alone. To day great numbers of licet steamers arc owned by Chinese merenants, and used by them exclusive ly for tho transmission*)! early intelligence. If the telegraph wo propose, connecting all their seaports were now in existence, It is believed that its business would pay tho cost within the first two years of its successful operation, and would steadily Increase thereafter.

The following letters from distinguish' ed Generals nr the Union army were rum nt the Demooratio Mass Convention re centiy held nt Indianapolis; FROM OENERAI, ]IUEI/L. AiitpniE, Ky., Sept. 13. General John Love, Chairman-Executive Committee of laUJanapoUc, Indiana. Mv Dear But; My engagements will not permit me to accept your invitation to attend the Democratic Mass Conven tion to bo held at Indianapolis on the ikiti instant; hut I am interested in its object and shall rejoice in its success. Eight years ago the Republican and Democratic parties contended for the ad ministration of the Government in the election of a President. The first, organ ized solely upon sectional issues, appealed for support to nnsaioii and, analloual nre- Jlmiee. Tts leaders taught thai a dissolu tion of the Union was preferable to con-' ditions which the Constitution had es tablished, and pledged themselves to hold no Intercourse in society, business, or polities, with the principal class of citi zens in the opposite section—an attitude which could mean nothing but disunion or sectional war. In its public demon strations it initiated a military organiza tion, and with threatening motives, beat ing drums, and warlike tread, it tilled tlie air with tiro premonitory mutterings of a battle-field. Opposed to this revolu tionary spirit stood the great Democratic party, which for an almost entire period of sixty years had administered the Gnv • eminent with a wisdom and fidelity which were attested by the general wel fare. Unfortunately tho sectional pas sions which had been aroused disturbed Its councils and divided Its strength ; and its opponent, representing a minority of tho people, triumphed at the polls. War came. The JTortli and tho Bondi wore arrayed in deadly conflict against each oilier; but it was not among the mass of tlie Demonatic party tinu tile idea of dissolution was entertained, for while more than one faltered of those in the'op posite party who had helped to nir up the suite, thousands of Democrats in stantly rushed to arms to preserve tiie Union and maintain tlie laws. It would bo useless to revive these memories at this time, fpe the purpose of muting out in just proportions tbo respon sibility of tliecon/lict which ended nearly four years ago; but in tracing the causes and devising a remedy for the evils which now oppress the nation, they are full of Illness. To-day those parties again stand opposed to each other,; in a Presidential canvass. The characteristics which dis tinguished them eight yearsago are even more marked now. The one; arrogant, despotic, revolutionary ; reckless of con stitutional restrictions, of the respective prerogatives of the different branches*©! tho government, of the rights of the States and the liberties of tho people ; still by profligacy und wrong, augmenting a public debt already enormous, and in creasing the burdens upon industry and trade by unnecessary und unequal taxu tion—the other, faithful us always to the theory of bur Government' and the true interests of the people, stands forth to re move oppression and restore tlie Consti tution to its just authority. If that is anything In our past history worth cher ishing; if it is true that the liberties of a people are safer under inviolate consti tutional rules than under the arbitrary .dictation of any government, still more under an unlimited power arrogated by one branch of it, then tho people of this country cannot too soon decree a change in the present management of its aflUlrs. A return to the support of Democratic principles, by those whom it influences, which it is unnecessary here to describe, have reduced into an unnatural political association with the Radical party, will effect this great object iu November; and I trust that tho strength and enthusiasm of your Convention will add another to the many encouraging indications that such will he the result. With great re spect, your obedient servant, D. C. Buell. I'KOM OENKUAI. UOSIiCUANS.

Gf.neual: Indispensable duties pre vent me from attending the gathering of officers and soldiers at Indianapolis, to which your letter invited mo on the 23d instant. But beyond'the great’gratification I should experience lu meeting so many of my old companions in arms, and , ming ,liug our memories of the past with reso lutions of future efforts and sacrifices for the honor of the land and Hag wo love, my presence there would accomplish more than a simple statement of my view** on the chief issues which now agi tate the country.' I believe our free institutions and high est material interests are in grave peril. I shall,' therefore," perform a solemn and responsible duty to my fellow-soldiers and countrymen, who love this nation more than party, by stating what I think the most vital issues before the public in the approaching Presidential election. Above nil other expenses—expendi tures, taxation, bonus, “greenbacks,” or anything else—stands that of restoring UV SI'ENCEU W. C ONE - UnT Florida is thus far the only recon structed State dn which the carput-lmg Legislature has succeeded in wrestling from the people the right of voting lor President, in accordance with ’ the Kadi cal plan of the campaign. In Alabama the scheme has nut yet succeeded, because of the Governor’s ve to. But the adventures in the Alabama Legislature still hope to defeat the willol the people of that State by refusing to pass iv registry law, which is required by the carpet-baggers* constitution. They will counsel their negro constituents to abstain from voting,and will endeavorto treat the election us void. In Louisiana the same desperate and revolutionary game is afoot. The car pet-baggers, in legislative caucus, have resolved to choose Presidential electors, and rob the people of their rights. The legislature is in session, proba bly adjourn in a shorttimu to moot again, like the Legislatures of Florida and Ala bama, and appoint electors for Piesldeut and Vico President of the United Slates. • The Radicals, who have long ago aban doned all regard for law and constitutions, resort to this flagrant usurpation because they know well that the people of every one of these States would vote for Sey mour and Blair. Despair of success in any legal way drives them (o this high handed outrage.— l/arrlsburr/ Patriot, the people of the Southern States to hope ful, cheerful self-government. Restore them this, and as certainly as day follows the sun, our political stabili ty will be assured ; our llmmcial prosper ity wijl speedily follow; the value of property in the South will Increase: our public securities will go to u premium; our greenbacks will become par ; coin and currency accounts, with all their evils and complications) will disappear from tho books of our business men. Believing with all my soul that the preservation of our Government from despotic changes, and all those inestima ble blessings depend upon this restora tion of the Southern people to whole same, cheerful self-government, I am equally certain that U can he done, and dare pledge my honor and life lor them that they will give and obsorveall proper guaranties to renounce secession, slavery , and their dependent issues; to protect, educate, and elevate tho freedmon to the exercise of all tho franchise they enjoy in Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois; and faith fully to perform all the duties incumbent on them as good citizens under the Con stitution and laws of tho United States. And wliatmorecouldbeaskcdof them, or what greater results could patriotism «I©hlv<; fov tho country’than depend upon this issue? Not even tho prosecution of tho war challenged a more thorough reiunicln tionof parly preferences ami personal dislikes on the altar of our country than docs the attainment of this great good. -Tito desolate and ruined South, the op pressed taxpayers of the West and North, generosity, mercy, lovo of country, ap prehensions of evils to come, every mo tive that ought to move the hearts o*f true nud noble men, appeal to .us to say by our votes we will stop that hopeless folly of attempting to govern the .Southern States by what wo call "loyal blacks," and give the people, under just guaran ties, tho right peacefully and legally to proceed to reorganize their own govern ment Within tho Union. With such convictions, I hold tho man who would not express’ and act upon them, a traitor to himself and his coun try, and despise tho partisan wiio would 11ml fault with any reasonable stops he might take to bring about so great a good to the nation. Recommending my convictions, and die reasons for thorn, to the judgment of my follow-soldiers and countrymen, f re nain, very truly, yours, W. 8. Rosix'uaxs. FROM OKXKKAh WM. T!.

Anthony Trollope's review of Radi cal Xteconslruotlon in tlio ,S(. Paul'* Ala(ju:inc will produce a powerful idled in Kurland, tf followed up, as we have some reason to think it will lie, Ihlsellbn will assume a very tangible shape, in the quotations of American securities on ’Change. That the negro, who was yes terday a slave, is'now made the master is Very well pul by Mr. Trollope as the real gift, of the reconstruction .scheme, and the British haulier will not bo alow to draw the conclusion that if this negro bo tile master to mere political purposes he must to the extent of his suflVage, be master also of tlio debt. The idea of three-quarters of a million of semi-bar barians having the right In amend, alter, annul, or annihilate his United States bonds, will be one that ho will not he slowlo educe from his first conclusion, and if the result of his cogitation thereon is not n decrease of • confidence in American securities It will be because tho nature of the British capitalists has most iniraciiiourdy changed. A thorough 'dissemination Hi England of Mr. TroJ- Jo]jo’s St. Paul’s article and on top of that a strong and-accurate exhibitor the real nature of the negro, would drive the United States live-twenties doin' five per cent. But for a lurking fear that someday the Sou them whites, in a venge ful remembrance of ibis debt was con tracted for, may vole in solid mass lor ils destruction, the bombs might approxi mate par abroad ; ami this drawback Mr. Trollope’s article adds the vet greater one that tho voice of 7J) H')’i negroes, yesterday but slaves, itfalso to l*e of force in apy question as to United. States cred it* .Gnu .more statistical article in con- tinuation of Mr. Trollope’s Him, ami ihe bond market would be a paradise of bears. It la hud enough, the Englishman mgy think, to have the possible voieeof UOU. 000 Southerners on this debt adversely, but when it comes to the actual voice of 750,000 negroes, too, we would hurdle be human did lie not think of America ns did Sidney Smith, that it had nothing solvent but its ice. It won’t do, gentlemen, to bring these 750,000 cotton-picking negroes into the body-politic. If you do, look .to your bonds. THE NITFFRA.dE SOFIIISR. 5 It has been stated ns one of the reasons justifying negro suffrage that It was nec cessary to promote the internal pence of the Southern States. One great reason ■ why this great peace was so desirable is given in the necessity of quiet before that fertile region could lio open to the North ern immigrant. Now let us consider • this argument. It is, ns you perceive, that peace must bo had in order that if you or I desire to move South we can do so, ami that negro suffrage is a guaran tee of this peace. So far from this being the case, let any fair-minded man but consider what established negro suffrage would do when It does what it is now do ing on probation. Let him further con sider whether he is at all tempted at the prospect of moving out of a community where the negroes are few and unen franchised into a community where they are in jyeat numbers and all invested with the ballot. Further than this, lot him ask if there is anything in the rich fields and soft air of that beautiful coun try so desirable as to be worth the sur render of his ballot; for, let it bo here re peated, that in one form or another dis traiichisemeut is the inevitable concern!- taut in the reconstructed South of.s dis belief m negro equality. If, considering these tilings, the rend er comes to tho conclusion that the en franchised negro is more riotous limn iho unenfranchised ; that so long ns ne gro suffrage exists carpet-baggerv will flourish; and that, though the South bo tempting, it is not tempting enough to tempt disfranchisement, ho will have reached conclusions that must forbid any acquiescence on his part in the shallow sophism that negro suffrage is peace. So far from being peace it is war; war upon that good order which invites immigra tion, encourages investment, and rewards toil; war on tho traditional principles of this country: war on the accumulated lessons of history • ami war not alone up on our, interests but upon our own solves. Our feelings are a part •of us; our attachments, our repul sions, our intuitions are all component parts of us, and tho revolt these give when this abominable heresy of negro suffrage is brought before them, warns us that it is a thing that nature abhors.— Suffrage is mastery. Whenever a man is brought into tho body politic he be comes, to the extent of his suffrage, the master of all other men in it; and the question is, whether you, by tho introduc tion of a great many thousand barbarl ans, are willing to put your neck, even contingently, under the feet of these grand children of cannibals? Ifso, so be it; you have a right, perhaps, to debase yourselves, but havq you any right to de base mo too? srunv POLITICS. It is :i truth which should ho univer sally borne iu mind, that in freo'gov ermnont, whore all citizens are voters, it is the duty of every man to make-politics a study, to such extent, at least as to make him acquainted with the princi ples of government and tho bearing up on the general interest of tho country of tho policies and measures which from time to time come up for consideration. On this subject a correspondent of tho Washington city SxprasH (who is a mem ber of tho llcsidcnt Democratic Execu tive Committee) makes some very sen sible remarks. Ho lias been traveling through tho State of Kuw ' York, and writes from the city: “ And here let mo say that, in my opin ion, one of tho mistakes of the times, one of tire errors our people make, is that Ult T lln wot. pay moru nttont.ioil to Doll tics; that most men of all classes should entertain a horror of the idea of being considered politicians, as if it should not bo tire duty, as it is tiro interest, of every man to understand the public questions of tile day. How few comparatively of our best citizens have intelligent ideas of tho national finances, of the questions of tarilf, taxation, &o.; and yet they are pe riodically called upon to decide by their suffrages these very questions, in which they, and all connected with them, have such deep interest. Let us hope that tho day is at hand when this idea is to be abandoned, and when to bo a politician shall not bo considered, to mean a mere office-seeker—too often, in these latter days at least, tho plunderer of the Gov ernment j when tho forum shall bo filled by the merchant, tho manufacturer, tire planter, ami gentlemen, of learned pro fessions, each striving to enlighten his fellow-countrymen upon’the questions of tile hour. Then tire day of mere politi cians will have passed away ; then we shall have intelligent law-makers, whose enactments will be faithfully acquiesced in, because, being tho result of intelligent discussions, and not the einaoniioiis of partisan views—ton much the case, in Congress particularly, for the past, eight years—they will he in reality flic rellec lion of the will of tho people. Especially is this, in tiro present emergencies of the country, absolutely tho duty of every gooti citizen, since "the calm consideration of public ali’airs lias become so eminently 1 tile private business of individuals.” 1 TIIK C OST or KAIUCAL un.l' Said Mr. M’C'ulloch in March, IS6S; It is exceedingly desirable- that taxes .should be reduced, and I should bail with pleasure the proposed reduction if I Jelc assured that it would be accompanied with a corresponding reduction of expen ditures. I am free to say that I am greatly apprehensive that such a reduc tion of expenditures will not bo made, and that tho revenues of the country for • the next fiscal year, if the bill now before flic Semite, or in the hands of your com mittee, should become a law, will bo in suflicient to meet the iutcrestonthc pub lic debt ami tho current expense of tho Government.

According i.» -ill rules of fairness, the Democrats on tins ■vote should have had at least eleven of the twenty-four Representative* to winch the Stale is entitled, and the Republicans hut thirteen.

Of the tola! vote cast (500,141) the Democrats electing six members, polled 202,451 votes, ami the Republicans, electing eighteen mem bers, pulled 303,700. In other words, it required 48,725 votes to elect a Democrat, while 10,877 votes elect a Republican ! And these twelve Republicans, elected by 11,430 votes, are culled “the Ilepresenla lives of the people,” and Pennsylvunia.ls said to have “a republican form of gov ernment.” $321,020,000 This Is Republicanism—it is Radical ism—and leaves Mr. Drake’s new Consti tution of Missouri, his test oath and Reg istration law quite in the shade, because wo aro told by the Democrat, “ the num ber of whites disfranchised In this State, according to the beat information that can bo obtained, la between /twenty and twenty-five thousand,” whereas in Penn sylvania about one Hundred and twenty live thousand Democrats have been vir tually disfranchised by this gerrymander*' lug process, which has deprived them of an equal or relative representation in Cong.e.-rt.

Happily, however, the Republi cans, who got into power by the very re verse of honorable means, in redistrict lug the State ofPennsylvanla, under the census returns of ISGO, have overdone the matter.

Why n Clinnffo U Needed. The National debt is now twenty-*!* hundred millions of dollars. Lcesurn-n -dered on tho 9th day of April, ISGf,; the National debt on that day was twentt’- three-hundrod and sixty-seven millions. In three years of peace the debt has in creased two hundred and thirtv-ihree millions. . The people have paid into tho Treasury in those three years, fifteen hundred anil twenty millions. In 1805, $501.57° 00U * 0 , and iu 1807, 5471.: The official statements show that in the* last two months tho debt has increased •‘?-0,12.)5,09.>. All of this money came from tho earn mgs of the people, and should have been applied to paying tho debt; for it Is a mortgage upon all our property, and en cumbers and oppresses us in our busi ness. livery article, that enters into our dai ly use aud consumption is taxed to raise this money. This poor man’s tea pays twenty-five cents in gold; his sugar, four cents; his coflbo, five cents; tho leather out of which his shoes are made, tho matches with which ho lights his fire, the shovel, the pick, tho plow and tho harrow, all bear their share of theso tax es, and all these increase the cost of liv ing. # This system of taxation is more eevero on tho poor man than tho rich—for tho ! necessities of a man.{aud not his proper ty) are taxed, so that a poor man with a family of six, pays three times as much tax as the rich man with a family of two. In tho year ending Juno 30, 18G8, four hundred and seventy millions of dollars were taken from tho comforts and neces sities of tho dally lives of tho people, and wore put into tho Treasury of the nation. There are thirty millions of people in tho Union, and this is more than fourteen dollars for each man, woman and child. This is mainly paid in buying what wo eat, drink aud wear. About eight days work are now requir ed from the laboring man to buy a barrel of flour, while «in 1860 four days, work would buy as good a one. One day’s work now will only buy five pounds of coffee, while in ISGO it would buy twelve pounds. The farmer, tho mechanic and tho mer chant, find their profits all spent iu tho increased cost of living; in the largo tax es imposed for State, county, municipal and city purposes; in the increased cost of tools, of clothing, of labor hired, and of taxes upon income, and they have nothing left. Increase of the debt means Increased hours of labor, increased taxes, and in creased privations to tho mass of tho peo ple. The Radicals have toasted your money and ought to bo turned out. The reconstruction ofthe South, with tho negro above tho white man, prevent prosperity there. Tho enormous tuxes wts imy jju W inniulnin tVic ivrtny nnd tho b reedmou’s Bureau, in tho South for this purpose. Instead of us paying over 100 millions each year to do this, the South ought to bo put to work to earn 200 mill ions to help us to pay tho debt and tho taxes. Take away the army and the Bureau and give the white man as good a chance as the negro, and it will be done. They cannot buy our iron, cotton and woolen manufactures as long ns wo per sist in keeping them poor. Put them to work to develop their resources and allow them to aid in governing themselves, aud wo will relievo ourselves from a grovious burthen. 2he Radicals have put (he negro above the white man and ought to be turned out. The poor man who owns a house and lot, has ho right to bo taxed to protect tho property and educate tho children of tho rich man who pays' none, because his property is all in United States Bonds. The Radicals made this system , and de fend it, and they ought to be turned out. The C akpet-h Aa a exi a ‘ ‘Dead Beat, ’ ’ 7WO cannot very well answer the quos tion in a few words, though wo would approximate correctness in describing them us “dead beats” of all classes from the North who nro living here for the time being by their wits. A carpet-bag. gor is rarely found in the society of white men. ilo is most at homo whore negroes moat do congregate. Ho eats and drinks witli negroes. Sometimes he sleeps with them. Until reconstruction changed hi* mode of life, he relied upon no honest pursuit, calling or profession. In the eyes of law, ho was a vagrant, for ho had no visible means of support. Ho taxed the negroes in one way and another for bread and meat and weaning apparel and a little loose change. The ignorance and credulity of the poor negro were his main stay. With tho execution of the recon struction laws ho loomed into import ance. Tho vagrant and sharper of the day. before became a political leader. He registered votes. He conducted elections. He was a member of tho Con volition 1 Ho framed tho Constitution. He is ;i member of tho Legislature, or a i’rohae Judge, oru’Clork of a Court, or Shorin’.. 1 a county, or Lieutenant-Governor, or a member of .Congress, or United Stale-* Senator. His pockets aro full. He is a ruler in tho laud. And now, having been lifted up by negro votes, ami /lad ing the negro la becoming tired of his hy pocrisy and deception, aipi will not trust, him any longer, he is in favor of depri ving the people of the choice of their otli cers, and in order to secure thointerfe renceof the United States to retain bin. in the place bo has fraudulently obtained, lie uses his position to give weight and credit to the most atrocious falsehoods about tho sentiments, feelings, ami c duct of the people.
