“The World Girdled by Telegfaph”-The ■ Bust Indla Telegrajpli Company. Could our ancestors, who rejoiced oyer the * ‘great improvement”- to travel from Philadelphia to “York” in a rickety mail coach, in,the admirably short-time of four days, rise from their graves to day, they r could not well believe their eyes seeing a train of Cara speed the dis tance along in four hours. Their news /from Europe' was fresh; and highly pleased they were at it, when received by a London or Havre packet inside of three months, a distance which our At lantic steaniers have more than once overcome in nine days. And what would they say to the telegraph? The most-important projected plan, and promising perhaps greater results for the welfare and material prosperity of the United States, is the Stusso-Ame rican telegraph,-rapidly pushed forward on this Continent by Mr. P. McD. Col libs toward Behring Strait, and by the Emperor Alexander ll.,through Siberia ■toward the east, 1 and the line proposed ’-to*be built and to connect with the former by the - East India .Telegraph ■Company, from Pekin, the capital city of China, along the Chinese Coast -to 'Canton, and north and eastward, to Jrkutsk and Kyachta, and the mouth of -the Amoor river, which latter two con necting lines are proposed to be built by the Bussian Government. ' The British Government, always ■'anxious to maintain their power in tne East, intend and have, we believe, en tered into preliminary arrangements to extend their line of telegraph from Gal- 1 outta East to Hong Hong, and thus when all these several lines shall have been completed—and we can assure our readers that they will be completed in less than half the time it took the At lantic Cable to get into working order then the United Statesmay justly claim the proud position of being the com mercial centre of the habitable globe, for from New York to Europe, from San Erancisco to Asia, will radiate the entire commerce of the world. When the late Thomas H. Benton was still a young lawyer and local -politician at St. Louis,he edited a small ■sheet called the St. Louis Inquirer. This was in 1819-20. In a series of articles xn that journal, neither ocean steamers railroads nor telegraphs being then in use, he advocated most strenuously the speedy construction of a national road to the with a proper treaty with Spain, through California to some point on the Pacific •suitable for a great harbor. He fortified his proposal with irrefutable arguments. -His sagacious and discerning mind called attention to the fact that every country which, throughout history, succeeded in obtaining a fair share of she trade with the beehives of peoples in the East grew prosperous and wealthy. He re ferred to the Phoenicians and Egyptians in ancient times, the Portugese, the Butch, the Hanseatic League aud the English more recently, And he hoped that by opening communication for •convenient travel from the Mississippi "to the Pacific, the people of the United •States might share in a like result. '“Old Bullion’s” far-seeing ideas are now about to be realized, and that in a manner which not even he, at the time •of his death, could have courage enough to hope- The telegraph to Ban Fran cisco was completed long since; and already reaches far up north, through Oregon into Washington territory, and the British possessions. The National ~Wagon Boad proposed by him forty-six years ago, is being rapidly pushed for ward, supported by the bounty of our Government, but it is to be of iron, and ■“swift propelling steam” the motive power. Ban Francisco, “the most suit able place on the coast for a harbor,” seems selected by nature herself for the great destiny that awaits it. Commu nication across the Pacific to Shanghae, connecting there by coast steamers with all the most important commercial cities down to Hong Kong, Macao and Can ton, is provided for also by the bounty of our Government; which has come to the succor of private enterprise in this great national undertaking. Thus all nhe preliminary steps to secure for us a •fair share of the immense and highly lucrative trade of the Eastern Continent •hone been completed. One thing re anains yet to be done. We must have telegraphic connectiondirectly from Jhere.and not over England and Europe, with.-all. the.trade- centres, of Eastern —sia. Then, and then only, will our -whole-system of intercontinental com merce be truly American and wholly independent. •This the East India Telegraph Com pany, a thoroughly responsible corpora- 1 tion, propose to do. Enough has been published regarding the: Busso-Ameri can Telegraph, now -constructing and fast nearing its completion; and the read ing public js so well informed of the gen eral nature and character of the work , that for the present, we need say no - more about it. But the projected East India Telegraph Is less known, yet it is - mot only equally important with the ■Collins Bussian line, but we take it, im measurably moreso, While the Collins line gives us • independent. communica tion with Europe, through Siberia and European Bussia, the East India Tele graph brings us daily and .hourly into i the very heart of the Chinese Empire •and to the very doors of British India. A few statistical references will show the nature and scope of'the: enterprise. In the first place, it is proper to men tion that by the exertions of our Minis ter at-Pekin, Hon. Anson Burlingame, who, we must in justice add, was earn estly supported by the representatives of the other Powers having treatiesof com merce and friendship with China, this Company was granted, by the Chinese 'Government, the right to lay cables con necting-the seaport.cities from Canton to and to construct an inland .'line from the latter place, by way of INankin to Pekin. The Bussian Go vernment, by treaty, has secured the privilege of building two" lines from Pekin—one to the Amoor, the other to Irkutsk. The fact that along the •coast the . telegraph will be sub merged is security against its de struction by land piratesor rebels. Canton, the starting point, has a popu lation, of 1;000,000 souls, and is the great •commercial metropolis of the 'Chinese Empire. Macao, the "next station, is also avery important trading post. Hong Kong, the third, hasia population cf 200,000: Amoy, the fourth, of 250,000, and Foochow, thefifth, 1,200,000; Ning po, the sixth station, has 800,000 sonls, and Shanghai, the next, nearly two millionsCTfience the telegraph connects withNankin^4oo,oQo,and Pekin,'2,ooo,- •000 inhabitants. From this last place, the connection; will be completed with the Basso-American Telegraph. The «ntire length of cables will be 835 miles, THJS DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, UP.DRM BFH 1866 -THIPLE SHEET that of the land line will be 605 miles; total, 1,435. From Pekin; to the Collins telegraph the distance to be spanned by the wire is 850 miles.—iV. Y. Times. | American Sculptors In Florence. : [From the Gorreatoodenqe of (he Boston Post.j The three prominent American artists new here are, as usual, laboriously at work. By an odd coincidence each is atipresent devoting his 5 energies to a female figure. Mr. Powers is laboring upon a form of which - he does not yet publish the name, but from the attitude, (there being nothing else yet visible) I conjecture that it is to be called Atlanta. Mr. Hart has a statue well advanced and really very, creditable to hia abilities’ which he. styles “The Triumph of Beauty.” Mr. Ball is 'developing an Eve, which, though yet in a very rudi mentary and “ribbish” state, promises well for the future. The latter sculptor has a head of Edward Everett, which is admirable in expression, and full of character. It represents him at the age yybich .he was most, widely and familiarly-known; in the full maturity of his powers, when he had only begun to • descend towards thecloseof life, when his form had become more portly than be fore, and his bearing- more dignified; when deeper iihes of thought and wrin bl®sofcare had appeared and blended with the harmony and refinement ofhis youthful lineaments. It is a great suc cess, and excites the regret of‘ every one who sees it that an artist who has done so well and conferred somuch honor upon his native city should not have also enjoyed the opportunity of linking his name with that of her great orator in the more prominent and distinguished shape of a full length figure. This he would doubtless have done in a manner that would have been an equal credit to Bos ton and himself, and it is, I think, to be regretted that after having failed to ob tain the privilege of modeling for our city either Franklin or Webster; he should also have been passed by in this statue of the last of our great men to which he had so large a claim. •* ' - Mr. Powers has also a figure of E verett in plaster, for which he Uas as yet re ceived no order. It is hardly creditable either to the subject or himself, and the sight of it makes one shudder at the thought that such a statue;might possi bly have been erected in Boston in addi tion to the unnatural monstrosity which the same artist sent to our city, and dig nified with the name of Webster, and whieh still continues to desecrate the ground in front of the State House. This figure of Everett only seems to show more conspicuously tnan ever the au thor’s entire ignoranceof the anatomy of the human form and his want of taste in drapery and costume. t In the model ing of busts, in seizing the hap piest and most characteristic expression of these who sit to him; in lending grace of outline and sweetness to the face of woman, he has surpassing abilities, and few approach or equal him. That is his inborn talent, but neither years nor study have done anything to make up for those deficiencies, also innate, which prevent him fromappreciating the other and quite as noble qualities of an artist widen ihanifest themselves in the hu man figure, its attitude and the drapery that adorn it. Mr. Powers has now oeen thirty years in Florence and is almost a patriarch among the artists in that city. His studio is the most popular of all and is the especial resort of Americans. As I was looking over the books in which all visitors are re quested to enter their names, I conld not help noticing ho w many of them were well known and distinguished. In fact, three volumes have, in the course of years, become quite valuable as a col lection of autographs, if for no other pur pose. The sculptor has always been a genuine patriot, and when in a few cases persons have been uncivil enough to write C. S. A. after their names ne has carefully erased them. A number of months ago the notorious George N. Saunders called at the studio, and some time afterwards Fernando Wood. Mr. Powers told me that each of them stopped before the bust of John C. Cal h oun,and said in almost the same words, ‘‘There’s John C. Calhoun—l’m one af that man’s disciples.” This coincidence is somewhat remarkable, and taken in connection with our late troubles, has a world of meaning. On this occasion Saunders did not hesitate to acknow ledge his connection with the St. Albans raid and other nefarious plots to plunder and burn our frontier, and not only that, but he expressed his satisfaction and even pride that he had done his best to help them on. When Mr. Powers said to him,“Sir, I desire you to know that I utterly abhor your murderous plans and detest the efforts*you have made to ruin our country,” he replied with un abashed coolness and effrontery, “Oh, yes, that's of course, I expected as much as ; that,” and walked away with the utmost uneoneern. A. The Bureau of Public Printing,—lt appears from the report of the Superin tendent of Public Printing, that the cost for printing, binding and lithographing, and engraving ordered by the; two' Houses of Congress for the year ending September, 30th, 1866, was $1,018,000, and for the Exec utive and Judicial Departments, $623,000f0r the same period. The value of the stock on hand is nearly $90,000i Several gold cases similar to the one de cided against Carson, ignoring a margin and requiring the amount of gold ordered' to be actually supplied, are still trying in the Su perior Court of Maryland. Further advices received; from Europe increase and intensify the interest of the narrative of the pursuit of Surratt after his escape from Rome. NEW PUBLICATIONS.
