THE STORM AND TIE EGRApH LINES
The severe southeasterly gale of Saturda,
afternoon aud Sunday, made sad havoc will
the various telegraph lines radiating from
this city. With the exception ofthrough the
Dll Southern Line, we are totally deprived o.
al clegraphc communication with any quar-
Ter, and some apprehension exists lest the
present state Of things should interfere with
he reception of the election news, although
we are assured that every possible exerlion
will be maGc to prevent such a concurrence
Of mistortunes.
Ga Houses Southern Line, the damage is
pretty serions, as the wire is severed where
il crosses the Hudson river, suspended by the
nasis erected at Forts Washington and Lee.
But we learn another wire is already prepa-
red, and to-day's train from Philadelphia pro-
blbly brings on a gang of iaborers TO assist in
putting it up. It is hoped connection will
be formed by tomorrow night.
On the Eastern Line, a few posts are pros
,ratel between this city and Stamford, and
viii bc readily replaced.
Communication on the Albany and Buffalo
Line is interrupted at some point between
Hudson and Poughkeepsie, but the extent of
tie damage is not known. 1t is presumed ii
