TetxorarH Lixes.—A Washington dis. yatch, of February 26th, states that the Government has taken poseession of all the telegrapb lines iu the United States, All telegraphic communications in regard to toilitary operations, not expressly author. ized by the War Department, or Generals commanding in the field, in the several departments, are absolutely forbiddeo. Newspapers publishing military news, however vbtaived.and not authorized by official auUnority, will. be. excluded thereafter from receiving information by telegraph, or from transmitting papers by mail. This is certainly a very stringent order, and if strict. ly carried out will almost entirely preoctade the publication of news—for nothing» now is regarded as news except matters relating to the war. If the Federal troops shbuld move upon Mempbis, and capture the place, the papers would not be allowed to publish the fact until Gen. Halleck gave permis sion, Tus London Times thinks that the Amerieans have managed to spend.more. money, in. the last six months, and .to less purpose, than any people. on the face of the earth. Lt is very true thatthe Americans have expended an immense amount of money, and we have.the consolation to.uow that Great Britain has got but a very small portion of ity all, or nearly all, bas been raised and expended ameng-our own people. We think, however, it would not be difficult to show, that in the sixumonths previous to the time this . announcement. was made, the United States had accomplished more than Great Britain accomplished in the two years of the Crimean war; -and.the Federal troops have since captured a respectable, little arwy of come 17,000 men. Nothing that the British did in the Orimea would compare witb the brilliant achlevement of tbe Federals in the,capture of Fort Doneléoa. Gam HaLieck, whose command extends over Tennessee and Kentucky, has issued an order to the troops under his command, enjoining them. to. show. the misgnided Soutbern.people that theyycome to restore, not to.violate the constitation and the lawe.

Accipent.~-On Wednesday evening last, Senator Baker, of Tulare, while going down a flight of stairs, at the Irving House, San Francisco, stepped backwards, and fell through a skylight. His bead and face were badly cut and a large avtery severed. At last accounts, he was in a critical condition, and serious fears. for his life were entertained.). Tiupuvteo.—The anniversary of Washington’s birth-day. was celebrated :at Timbuctoo, by a torchlight procession .of Reecue Hose Co., who turacd-out wilh transparencies, music and banners. Mr. We M.

With ' this addition the building will contain six large rooms, every one of which is needed to-day.” . “Somersina, RumarksBie.”—Some ob serving lvdiwidual, living at'Nevada, has made u remarlable discovery, aud‘instead of inquiring of some one here, be has written to the Sacramento Union fer aa explaoation. He says: i During the entire Winter, when cloudy and raining, L have noticed.everynight. a. bright light in the west, in all respects like the northern light in its flashes and variations, as bright, in the west, and only seen in cloudy clear. weather. Have you noticed it? I have seen no mentlon made of it, and should like very much to know if it was visible from other oints: also, if any one can give it a name, or! in any way-aceount forsit. . The writer of the above is probably the only person in the county who could not readily have explained the remarkable light;-with its **fikehes’” and/its “variations.”’ The light is occasioned by a fre Kept burning in dark nights at Mr. Rogers’ diggings, on Aumerican Hill, for the miners to see to work by. The ‘flashes’” are occasioned by throwing on stieks of wood, and the “variatious’”’ by the fire sometimes burning betterithan at other times, Lt is only seen in cloudy weather because it is not necessary to keep upa light in clear weather. The Sacramento people have pot noticed it—it is not visible fron their latitude, It is vise ible, however, from Mr. Graig’s ranch, about halfa mile beyond the diggings; but from» there it appears to be inthe east. We have thus eccounted for the remarkable appearance, and will Jeave the the scieutific world to “give ita name,” instead of Tre Beavers Setting. THE EXAMPLE.— The beavers are energetreally at work in all their old haunts throughout the State, setting man the example of untiring industry and perseverance under difficulties. The Yreka Journal says that they have been remarkably busy. of late in Scott Valley: “At the slough of Scott: river, turning around the island, near Fort’ Jones, they have built adam nearly a quarter of a-mile long, which is as good a pjece of work as men could perform. Trees, nearly a foot through, have been cut into lengths,.which, teether with drift wood and fence. rails, have afforded them sufficient timber. te build. Their mouus operandi is first to dig a-hole with their btoad, shovel fashioned tails, and then tip a log; down into it, climbing on the top of the upper: end to force :it-déwn: solid. Others attend to filling up with brustand mud “to prevent ‘leak ing, all rustling about with great activity.— Theiv-dams are.strong enough for achorse to travel,over, and their cunning is fully equal to that of a monkey,” © A Prayer ror. Prrate.—A London correspoudent of the Manchester Guardian of fers a prayer: far the success of the rebel steamer Nashville lately fitted out at Southamptoo to prey upon American commerce. He says: The Nashville, I hear, either has sailed, or is on the point of sailing, from Southampton. May the gallant Pegram have a good deliverance from the Federal cruiser said to be looking out for him outside the channel. That he carries away the same armament from Southampton that he brought in, 1 should not like to bet; or that the Nashville, as respects trim and top-hammer, is noti better calculated to brave the Atlantie and the enemy than she was when she burned the Harvy Birch. SPLTZBERGEN AND THE GuLF STREAM.— The expedition sent by the Swedish Government to Spjtzbergen-has just returned, after a successful exploration, and.after correcting the maps, diseovering fresh ts, aveertaining that animaland vegetable life exists in the sea at a depth of 2,500 yards, and thatthe great current ofthe Atlantic Ocean, known by. the. name of the Gulf Stream reaches as far as the coast of Spitzbergen, pieces of broken wood, bottles, etc., having been found there. .
