The Concession to the Company Com.

—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.

General Prim,liTutenint-Gen eral In the Span
ish army and Count of Rena by the creation of
Queen Christina, was born in 1811, and educated
to the profeasion of arms. In the war of the I:me
cca-4ton against the Carllsts who fought to pre
vent the present Queen from ascending the
Orono, he took the part of laabella,and of Chris
tina, the Queen mother when , she was appointed
Regent. After the illr e t a of
,thtf /attar he
allied himself with the party. In ' 1842
suspicion fell upon him in consequence of the
Part he, look the revolt at Saragossa:. Belied
to France, but returned the next year and took
his seat in the Cortes, to which he had been cho
sen. On the return of the Qneen mother, Chris
thut; he received his title of nobility and the hon
orary a . .Intment of Governor of Madrid.
Having sent to suppress =outbreak in Cat
don* be again fell under the suspicion of the
Government, and was again compelled to quit
Sp tilx.When the Crimmut war broke out he entered
the Tartish service, and obtained censidemble
distinction bytis conduct of affaire In fillistria.
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.

General Serrano, D de la Torre, one of the
prewnt revolutionary chiefs, is an old army
officer, and five years ago was Captain-General
of Cnba. 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. At last accounts he
was marching with a large force on Cordova, in
daily expectation of a battle_ with the Royal
troops. • General Serrano is now fifty years of

Repartero was placed by the Corte at the head

the tendency in Spsin toward revolution. The
partisans of Christina, who had hada stormy

took a conspicuous part in the insurrection,
which broke out at Barcelona and soon spread
over the land. The revolt , •had such leaders

• • • riortligta Items.
We clip the following interesting items from
late (=bungee:
—Great sensation was recently caused in Prague
by the suicide of a well-known retired Austrian
captain. From some papers found in his room it
appears that he was a victim of the so-called
American duel; that is, the two contending par
ties place a white and a black ball in a hat,and the
one who draws the black is in honor bound to
kill himself within a given time.
—The Paris Figaro,deEcribing the wound made
by a Chassepot bullet, mentions that the entrance
wound is not larger than the tip of the little fin
ger, but that the exit leaves a ghastly wound,
larger than the crown of a hat, and adds: This
little description must delight M.de Oirardin,who
wants to have the Rhenish frontier, and who
wonld,without hesitation, sacrifice fifty thousand
men (taking good care that he will not figure as
one of the number) to arrive at that desideratum.
—A man entered a cafe - near to Pail where,
after partaking freely, he said that having only
two francs left he could not drink any more, as
he wanted that sum to purchase charcoal enough
to suffocate himself. "Nonsense," replied' the
landlord; "for ten centimes you can buy rope
enough to hang yourself." "You're right," said
the man, and accordingly spent all brit the ten
centimes. The next morning his body was found
hanging to a branch of a tree in front of the cafe - .
—The French government has decreed $4OO,-
000 for improvements in the harbor of Cette, cal
culating on the increase of traffic that the open
ing of the Suez canal will cause to pass through
the channel.
—A priest of .a small town near Pisa, Italy,ee
duced, and afterwards eloped with a young girl,
seventeen years old. In order to defray the tra
veling expenses he robbed the figure of the Xs,
donna of the church where he officiated of all its
jewelry.
—Private correspondence from Norderney
mentions the presence of a French war steamer,
which for several days was, busily engaged. in
taking soundings at the month of the Ems and
afterwards in the small port of Delfzyl,,
Btftly this Is another indication of peace. .
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. I Applause. I Gentlemen, I say to
son. and I feel that I am invading no confidence
in doing so, that I havB it from the lips of our
chief, that, when elected President—for I feel
that it has been decreed that he will be President
(applause - I, no matter what his adminietration
may produce, above all things else—we shallhave
the strong arm of the Executive, representing
the will and majesty of a mighty people, declar
ing and insuring to every citizen, black or white,
rich or poor, be he humble or exalted, the safe
guard of the nation, and protecting him
from every wrong with the shield of our
national strength. !Great applause.] He
will use American power for the protec
tion of the American people—toprotect the
Amex ican Citizen in the savannahs of the South,
as well as the prairies of the West, whether he
stands by the Atlantic that surges along the
Eastern coasts, or by the Atlantic that surrounds
the foreign countries of Europe, se that he may
feel, as to American citizenship, like Paul felt
even amid his enemies, that none may lay finger
upon him, for he was a Roman citizen. I Great
applause.] Then we shall- have no more
war, no more dishonor, no more differences
between the Administration and the repre
sentatives of the country. Every dweller
in the land will- be protected -- under
bis own vine and his own fig-tree,with no traitor
or enemy to molest or make him afraid—the na
tional honor will be defended, the national faith
observed, the laws of the land will be obeyed,
and from these swiftly-coining days of peace : our
posterity, blessed by our labors, and rich with
all that we have sacrificed, will mallze the most
magnificent future that ever opened to `a people,
and a destiny eclipsing in its grandeur, its ttappi-,
neeTs, its public prosperity and private virtues, all
that we find written in the records of the past.

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 Mobile Tribune avows its inability to per
ceive in what respect it has been guilty of doing
injury to the Democratic cause at the North, by
strum reiterating the principles of that party as
they aro expressly set forth in the Democratic
platform. It says: "The Democratic Conven
tion, so far from conceding authority or title to
the new tovernments in the South, repudiated
the law under which they were organized as 'un
constitutional, revolutionary and void.' 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." And, further:, "A few timid politi
cians and poltroons may revile Forrest, Hampton
and Ellalr,but these statesmen stand on the Dem
ocratic platform, which is broad enough to sup
port the South, as, well as the North."
—The Macon (Ga.) Tourna/ and I(fessenger says

goers are familiar with the Italian versiOn, and Mrs.

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'.

pule, la the most accomplished buffo singer upon' the

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

to the musical taste of the Chinese ambassadors, as
displayed during their stay at Washington. Mrs. Clara
M. Brinkerhoff was asked by Mr. Burlingame - one
evening to sing for the Chinese, but was in doubt
what style of music would suit them. best. 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. It was a genuine triumph of nature over
art.
