“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.
