The New Telegraph Line to Elmer/ea— The Concession to the Company Com. piem—Amomat of Capital ouoserlbed —The Monte and Extent. PARIS, Sept. 24th, 1868.—The Afoniteur of this city announces officially this morning that the Government COIIMES/011 lately granted in favor of MM. Erlanger and Renter, of the Franco-Ameri can Telegraph Company, authorizing them to lay a submarine telegraph cable between France and America, under certain reserved conditions, bas become definite and complete, capital to the amount of 27,500,000 francs—the main condition —having been subscribed for the undertaking. The concession for this great work bears date July 6, 1868, and confers the 'privilege of laying and working submarine telegraphs between France and the United States., The cable will, as at present proposed, - be laid in two sections; the first from Brest to the French island of St. Pierre, on Newfoundland; the second from St. Pierre either to New York direct or to a point tetween Boston and New York,with a special line to New York. The length of the cable is as follows : First sec tion from Brest to St. Pierre, 2,825 miles; second section, from St. Pierre to "the United States, about 722 miles. Total, 8,047 miles, A contract has been entered Into with the Tele graph Construction and Maintenance Company to manufacture and lay this cable for the snm of £920,000. The Mutual/I calculatione and scientific experi ments of the new'company set forth the follow ing results :—The power of transmission of the cable is estimated at a minimum of twelve words per minute, which, allowing fourteen hours a day for waste time and only ten hours a day for actaal work, and taking 800-working days in the year, gives, at the rate of £2 per message, an an nual income of £482,000. The working expenses of the line are calculated at .£BO,OOO per annum. In connectionwith this enterprise it Is inter -siding to state - that - the French despatch - boat Travailenr, from Rochefort, has been ordered to the Mediterranean to• assist in laying down the submarine cable to connect the telegraphic lines ,of Algeria with the coasts of France.

At the close of:that war he was enabled to repair to his own country. In 1861 he was appointed to the command of the Spanish contingent of the force sent to Mexico by France, England end Spain. Perceiving the desigtr of Napoleon he withdrew his command from the expedition. He returned to Spain byway of the United States and visited the Army of thaPothmac, which was then on the banks of the Chickahominy. It will be remembered that he wrote a letter, and, after his arrival in Spain, a memoir of the American army, in which he expressed the greatest admira tion for the military abilities of General McClel lan. This was In 1862. In 1866 he announced himself as the leader of the Spanish insurrection above described, and has since that time been en gaged in fomenting an insurrectionary spirit in tipain. with a view tithe present rebellion. He has resided "during his exile mostly in Portugal, but has made several excursions to France. He is now fifty seven years old. His pre vious failures in revolutionary en terprises have led many &Spaniards friendly to his cause to distrust his capacity to guide a great revolutionary movement to a sue cesaful conclusion. It has been declared within the last year that, if Prim had had the courage or foresight, to inaugurate the revolt of 1866 in person, at the capital Itself, the movement would have been a success instead of ajiasco. Perhaps his leadership of the insurgent forces in the pre rent instance may be so successful as to obliterate the recollection of his former policy. wanes°.

When young he was reported as the handsomest man in the Spanish army- He has been engaged in every patriotic movement in Spain for many years past, and is an able and fearless general. Serrano has espoused the cause of the revolutionists, and is one of the Queen's most dreaded foes.

POLITICAL. SPEECH BY SIR. COLFAX. Neeeption at the New York. Tinton League. EFrom today's New York Tribune,) A business , meeting of the members of the Union League was held at their Club-House last evening, Mr. John Jay presided. The meeting was quite largely attendeti. Shortly after it was organized the Hon. Schuyler Colfax , entered the room, and was received with lond and long cen tinned cheering. After a few words of intro duction from Mr. Jay, Mr. Colfax thanked the company, and alluded briefly to the condition of the canvass in a few conversational sentences, thus concluding: I have spoken of the importance of this contest and the measureless value of victory to the Republican party as the party of loyalty and peace—the party that seems, under the, provi dence of God, to be intrusted with the salvation of the American Union. When that victory is gained, I feel sure that traitors will cease to raise their voices In behalf of the "Lost Cause." I Ap plause.] Victory will rebuke them, and they will appeal to the very mountains to save them from the popular wrath. We have but one motto in this contest, but one watchword upon our banner—and it is that "Loyalty shall govern what loyalty pre served." [Applause.] Remember, my friends, as illustrating the spirit of the rebellion, the in vective -that was poured upon the head of the iamented Lincoln immediately after the close of the war. Yet, notwithstanding, when the battle was over, the loyal spirit that won the battle, strong at the ballot with the strength of war wrote "Liberty" upon its banners, and inspired with the same patriotism and devo tion, went on in its coaenests from victory to victory, overwhelming opposition, and gain ing new honor and new glory. Where "Liberty" was inscribed, we have now written the nobler ruotto—"Loyalty and justice to all who main tained the Union." We, who wage this contest desire no proscription, no persecution, not one word of wrath, not one act of vengeance. We merely want this Union to be ruled by the men who have shown devotion to the Union. We want no war, we want no blood, we want no poverty, we want no desolation, we want no drafts; we want peace I great applause . ), and only peace; peace in the North, and in the South, peacein the East and in the West, peace in the White House, and no more endless sessions of Congress in expectation of Presidential violence applause]; peace between Congress and the Executive, peace all over the land, to all the weners of the land, between the Atlantic and the Pacific, with peace extending its glorious vista, bringing with, it stability, and with stability pros perity, and with prosperity progress, and with progress peace.

He said that Life Btate Government of Tennessee- was unconati tutirmai, and must, be. overthrown; . that,the people must organize quietly until , they had strength, and then assert their rights;, that the Democracy would certainly carry the next Presi dential election, and then the Radicals could get no aid from the General Government. Mr. . says the conversation then turned upon the plan, • and it was agreed that whatever was done should be done very quietly. Gas. Blair said , he had already seen and talked with many prominent men, and they all thought just as he did;•and that he intended extending his travels further south , ward, and would consult with ether men about It.. It may hot be amiss to state here a little of the history of Frank Blair's family relations, • which will connect other portions of the testimony. Francis Preston Blair, senior, is the son of Gen. Francis Preston, who lived and died at Abington, Washington county, Virginia. G. Wade Hampton's wife is a daughter of Gen. Preston, and a half sister of F. • P. Blair, senior. Gen.

ICorroniondence of the ChkagoJouraaLl DFX VER., Colorado, Sept. 19.—The election for delegate to Congress from this territory is over, and the Republicans have come off victorious, the despatch of the Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, announcing a Democratic success, to the contrary notwithstanding: Our majority for Mr. Bradford is small, it is true, be ing cut doivn by enormous frauds in some of 'the southern minties t but still it is a majority,' and one that will be increased another year, for the Republicans will he on the lookout for the enemy, and will not let them give their candidate a ma jority of two hundred and fifty. It a county that polls less than one hundred and fifty legal votes, and the most of these Republicans. - But a very light vote was polled, 'owing to our Indian troubles and the fact that the farmers were busy harvesting-their crops. In one county the polls men killed were attacked by Indians,' and three The Democrats had counted on at least three hundred majority for their candidate in.this city, butt,, to make the thing sure, they imported Frank Blair from Cheyenne, therday before election, received . him in grand , style,l and-i in, the evening. they had :.: a torchlight , procession, and Blair 'addressed the mob. And such a speech,! I can best describe it by stating that it disgusted all decent Democrats,-many of whom openly avowed - their determination to vote for sober, and not drunken men, for he was. drunk beyond the question of a doubt, and was pat to bed in that condition by some of his supporters. He went to the mountains the next day, and re turning a few days after, very quietly left for the East, for the city had gone Republican by over two hundred majority, and: the Democrats were charging him with being the author of all their woes. . The result in Denver astonished all, Republi cans included. That we had a majority wa never doubted; but the Democratic candidate was a very popular man—popular because he, being a member of the 'Legislature, cast the decisive vote on the Capital bill, and cast it in favor of Denver. This act would have insured bim a heavy vote in this county—perhaps it would have given him a majority--had it not been for the fatal mistake made in permitting Blair to make a speech. A majority in the city would have elected him. Blair's speech decided it against him. Our peo ple do not want another war; they therefore could not vote for a man who was inf avor of electing Blair Vice President. Republicans, therefore, congratulate themselves on the fact that Blair didspeak in Denver, and regret that he did not arrive here in time to address the peo ple in other parts of the Territory, for had he done so the Democratic party would have been annihilated. It is reported here that Blair will not be per mitted to make any more speeches during the Presidential campaign, as he does his party more harm than good. This, if true, will lie good news to Democrats, but there are some who do not be lieve that he can be kept still. Be It as it may, he has the heart-felt thanks of the Republicans el colored° for rendering them such valuable as sistance in the late contest. —The following letter was actually written by a Maine Democrat; State of Maine September the 15th 1868.

If this law is unconstitutional,. shall we not seek its ab rogation? If it is revolutionary, shall we not de nounce it? If It Is void, shall we not speak of it as a dead letter? This is the main plank of the platform."

Krrrany SILVESTER $--- MUSIC AND THE DUANIA. ;• • _ =GLIM' OPERA AT THE AIiOIL, The Richings' troupe presented the Mee Brothers' comic opera, Crispin° and the'Parry, • bat- night,' for ' the first timetin Bnglieh in this country. • Most opera goers are familiar with the Italian versiOn, and Mrs. ; Bernard's translation and adaptation is as nearly Ilt. eral as it is poseible for it to be. The very fact that the public bad become acquainted with the opera through the very admirable performance of an Italian company last year, made the attempt of the Richings'. troupe somewhat hazardoris, for it invited comparison that must have resulted unfavorably to the Englisht , artistsuniene they played and sang extraordintwily well. The part of "Crispino,'l for inetance,,waiiilre seated to us last season by.Ronconi,who,beiond alldia. pule, la the most accomplished buffo singer upon' the stageat the •presitatilme. Indeed,he has made the part faniona by his excellent personation,and the public are ript to regard it as ,diatinctively his own,as "Rip Van Winkle" is peculiarly the property of Mr. JeMrson. • With the remembrance of ltonconl and his associates freett in our minds,it Is not poseible to regard the Bich- Inge' a performance as positively brilliant success, but for all that, it deserves very warm praise as a conscien tions and very pleasing: possentaticrn of w charming little opera. • • , - • , Mr. Seguin personated " Crispin, " and displayed, as he always does, tlrst-rate histrionic ability. It is 31e. Segain's misfortune that he has no voice, and in a part like that of the Shoemaker, where there is a con stant succession of melodies, this seems to be a fatal deficiency. But Mr. Seguin dashed bravely in among the crotchets and semi-quavers, and demolished them vellentlY. while hie very amusing adieu reconciled the audience somewhat to his vocalizatiOn. Alto gether, the personation was an excellent one and as 31r. Seguin is fully aware of the limited capabilities of his organ, be may 'well be satisfied with the applause bestowed upon him. Mrs. Bernard's "Annetta" was BPriebtiy, vivacious and often amnsiug. The cheering music of the part was admirably sung, and some of the passages that are especially beautiful were heartily encored. We may menden the din:in-with "Crispipol' at the end of the first act, particularly, as a bit of re markable execution. Mrs. Bernard sang tha , difficult music of this episode gracefully and well. Mr. Bernard suffered from such an affection of the throat that an apology was made for him, but he gave a very accepta ble penonation of "the COTHIti" despite his hoarse ness. It is pecaliarly a matter of regret that he should have been indisposed last evening. Many of the moat beautiful airs in the opera fall to nis lot, and he proied to ale in The Czar and Carpenter, the other night, that he can sing with:grace and feeling. Considertng his indisposition, however, his performance was very pleasing, and his hearers were disposed toile kind and indulgent. Time other performers gave satisfactory personation& • , This evening, The Lily of .KiTlarney—an opera that abounds with eweet musk, and contains more than one beautiful melody—will be given on the occasion of Mrs. Bernard's benefit. To-morrow evening The .Rose of Castile will be premented, and Crispin° is an nounced for the matinee at twa o'clock.

Accord ingly, by way of experiment, Mrs. Brinkerhoff tried a brilliant Spanish Bolero, at. which the Celestial nodded approvingly, as though he had been used to it all his life; but when she sang" in a touching manner the simplemelody of "Home, Sweet Homo," the Celestial became human, and paid the tribute of a few involun tary team.
