>vo account was written and in 

 'lie until very recently unexpected in- 

 ion has been given to the public, in a let- 

 'tii the office of the Western Union Tele- 

 graph Company, and addressed to tho Secretary 

 ite, dated March 2."), 1867, that the work 

 on the intercontinental line has been indefinitely 

 :nled. The chief reason stated for this 

 a the fact of the now demonstrated wic- 

 !' the Atlantic cable lines a single one of 

 the two cables being declared as yet more than 

 sufficient for the amount of business actually 

 ing. The Western Union Extension Com- 

 pany had, however, already erected their wires 

 northward to Simpson's River, eight hundred 

 and 6fty miles beyond Now Westminster. They 

 state that the anticipated concessions in Eastern 

 China arc uNo withheld; and they now invoke 

 the inthicnce of tho Government of the United 

 States with that of Russia, to secure the con- 

 struction >f a lino by the latter power to some 

 point in its past or present possessions on this 

 continent ; when they propose to complete and 

 maintain the remaining length of telegraph line 

 required, to such Asiatic or Russian terminus. 

 It had been previously stated, that an extension 

 from United States lines through Mexico, and 

 : i! au<l South America, was also in contem- 

 plation ; and that steps had been taken toward 

 pccuring tho cooperation of the Governments in- 



d in such undertaking.] 

 Mictllantous.~-\\<~\\^* tho connection be- 

 tween European telegraph lines and those of 

 of tho Anglo-Indian 



line through Turkey to tho Persian Culf, an- 

 other connection was early in 1805 made with 

 both the networks of Persia ami Turkey, by 

 means of a Russian lino entering the former of 

 these two countries near Djoufa a mute by 

 which also some reduction is etleete/l in tho 

 rate-* of communication with India. The Turk- 

 ish lines being about tho same time further 

 united, at HI Arisrh, with tho Egyptian, 

 munioation w'th Egypt thus became practicable 

 independently of tho Malta and Alexandria 

 cable. On the American continent, 1> 

 piieh as have already been noticed, imj 

 lines or syatems of lines are in contemp'. 

 also, or being actively forwarded, in M 



Chili, Paraguay, Brazil, and Venezuela. 

 notices of these and some other 

 -apliio enterprises, and a very full account 

 of the rates for dispatches on the chief lines,

 found in the French Annuaire for 1865-'60. 



TKI.I.IK!:, Very Rev. REMIOICS JOSEPH 

 perior of the houses of tho Society of Jesus in 

 New York, Canada, and among tho Indians 

 bordering tho lakes, born at Soissons, France, 

 in 179G; died at St. Mary's College, Montreal, 

 January 7, 1866. Ho became a Jesuit, October 

 11, 1818. After some years of travel, and hav- 

 ing been appointed rector of the College of 

 Chambery, M. Tellier was selected by the Gen- 

 eral of the Jesuits, with five of his colleagues, 

 to go to Canada, where the Roman Catholic 

 Bishop of Montreal had requested the Pope to 

 send some members of the order. From the 

 death of the last of the native Canadian Jesuit-*, 

 Father Cazot, in 1800, there had been no estab- 

 lishment of tho order in that country until tho 

 arrival there, in 1842, of the six gentlemen 

 above mentioned. These were, besides M. Tel- 

 lier, the Rev. Fathers Chazelle, Luisct, Martin, 

 Hanipaux, and Duranquet. For eight years 

 after their arrival the Jesuits had the charge of 

 the parish of La Prairie, and Father Tellier 

 officiated there for two years. After this he 

 was employed among the sick Irish emigrants 

 at St. Charles Point during the prevalence of 

 ship fever, founded the church of St. Patrick's 

 fn Montreal, and was for three years stationed 

 in Upper Canada. Subsequently he was sent 

 to the United State*, where he was at first Pre- 

 fect of Studies and President of St. Francis 

 Xavier's College, and afterward at St. John's 

 College, Fordhara, N. Y. In 1859 he was named 

 Superior of the Order, and returned to Mon- 

 treal, where he passed the remainder of his life 

 in deeds of active usefulness. 



TENNESSEE. The Legislature of this State, 

 at its first session in 186(5, gave expression by 

 a variety of measures to the political views of a 

 majority of that body, with reference to the 

 relations of the State to tho Federal Govern- 

 ment, and to the policy of the President and 

 of Congress. In the month of January, both 

 branches adopted a series of resolutions endors- 

 ing tho course of the President, of which the 

 following are the most important : 



Retohtd, by the General Auembly of the State of 

 Tenntsstt, That confident in the integrity, political 

 honesty, and exalted patriotism of Andrew Johnson, 

 1'ivMilent of the United States, we hereby pledge to 

 him our hearty sympathy and support in 'his efforts 

 to restore all parts of the United States to the bless- 

 ings of peace and union. 



Resolved, That patriotism is national and not scc- 

 tii.ij.il, and knows no north, no south, no east, no 

 and embraces in its arms the whole broad 

 country, recognizing the rights and welfare of all 

 people and races within its ample bounds to equal 

 and exai't justice before the law; and regarding, aa 

 we do, Andrew Johnson as tho embodiment of this 

 sentiment, we pledge him our support as the Pres- 

 ident of the United States. 



Rescind, That, in retaining as his constitutional ad-
