The Small Pox In the South. 
Tue Charleston Courier of March 8, says “a 
gentleman arriving in this city from a tour 
through tho Southern States, says it is hardly 
possible to imagine the extent to which the 
small pox prevails throughout the section, AU 
the large cities arc more or less infected. In 
some places the freedmen only tire tho victims, 
while in others the white popnlatlou are among 
the sufferers. Little attention is paid to discre¬ 
tion in medical treatment.. Those who have the 
disease walk through the streets in the most 
indlflerent and unconcerned manner. No one 
bids them remain within doors. In two or three 
places through wlilch he passed, one house in 
every three had the red symbol displayed. The 
city of Charleston, we all know, is grievously 
afflicted with small pox. In this respect, how¬ 
ever, our friend assure* us we are far better off 
than our neighbors iu the Gulf States. There 
he had been accustomed to see dozens of cases 
on the street every day; here he meets but few 
comparatively.”

The Telegraph Connolldatlon. 
The recent consolidation of the Western 
Union Telegraph Company, extending from New 
York to San Francisco, and covering nearly all 
parts of the West, with the United States Tele¬ 
graph Company, excites a good deal of attention, 
and a few facts about it will be found Interesting 
The Western Union Company possessed 50,000 
miles of wire and 1,100 offices, and now comes 
In possession of 20,000 additional miles of wire. 
The capital of the Western Union Company was 
$22,000,000, but 7,000 shares of stock remain in 
the hands of the Company, to be disposed of as 
they see fit. This Company owes about $2,000,- 
000, and they are now issuing 7 per cent bonds, 
at a discount of 10 per cent, to cover this. 
They passed their January dividend, but have 
$600,000 cash on hand, which can be devoted to 
paying this dividend as soon as the debt incurred 
by purchasing lines in California aud building 
new lines is disposed of. The consolidation be¬ 
tween tho Western Union and United States 
Telegraph Companies will cause a speedy eloie 
of hundreds of offices, throughout the country, 
and a thousand or more operators -will be dis¬ 
missed. By the terms agreed upon, the holders 
of. United States stock will have an opportunity 
to merge their stock in Western Union, receiving 
two shares for three. 
The American Telegraph Company extends on 
the,coast from Nova Scotia to New Orleans; 
from Washington to Chattanooga; from Louis¬ 
ville, Ky., to New Orleans ; and from New 
Orleans to Austin and San Antonio, Texas. It 
covers all of New England and every avenue, to 
Canada. It owns 40,000 miles of wire, aud has 
over 1,000 offices. Its capital Is $4,000,000. By 
the consolidation of the United States with the 
Western Union it comes into possession of the 
rivalllines belonging to the former, extending 
Canada —The Fenians.— The 17tli of March 
passed without the hauling down of the English 
flag in Canada or other British North American 
possessions; at. least, we have not yet heard of a 
hostile demonstration being made by the Irish 
population (Fenians)against, the. Queen’s domin¬ 
ions anywhere. The “British” were “under 
arms ” during the day ut all exposed points. But 
the terrible “cratures” didn’t come, and the 
“lion,”|at a late hour, gave a defiant “roar,” 
gnashed his teeth and retired to his lair. As far 
as we can learn, the Fenians “behaved nicely” 
not only in Canada, hut in “ America,”
