The completion of the cable between Florida, which was
accomplished on the 18th teat., is an event of no little lin.
portience to us, as it is the beginning of a stupendous
project, and another successful step in the great enterprise
of connecting, by telegraphic lines, our country with the
rest et the world. This work forms the base from which
will start the three cable lines linking the Antilles to
Central and South America. The lines connecting the
Mouth American countries on the Atlantic will be by the
way of Cuba, St. Domingo, Porto Rico, St. Thomas, Gua-
deloupe, Martinique, Trinidad, and Demerara. From
thence telegraphic communication will be opened through
the Empire of Brazil to St. Roque, principally by land
lines. From St. Roque a submarine cable will extend
to the Cape Verde Islands, from thence to the coast of
Africa. and then to Cadiz in Spain, when the circuit of the
Atlantic Oman will be completed.—Baton Advertiser,
