Telegraph.

We were visited yesterday by Mr.. Hast
ings, an agert of Henry O'Rielly, Esq, who
is engaged in constructing a line oftelegraph
from Lafayette to Vincennes to connect with
the line already in operation from this place.
He informs US that the poles are erected from
Lafayette to York and will be erected to Vim
cennes this week. The wire for the section
from Terre Haute to Lafayette is now here
awaiting shipment, and will be strung as soon
as it can be sent up the river. This line is,
as all our readers are aware, one of vital i'm
portance TO the business men of Evansville,
connecting as it does with erefy port on the
Wabash river and extending along the canal
TO Toledo. The business men Of Evansville
are therefore deeply interested in in its con-
struction and will we trust do all in their pow
er to aid in its construction. Mr.. Hastings
assures US that he will be unable to furnish
the wire from Terre Haute TO Vincennes
without aid from our citizens, and we hope
they will cheerfuIly afford it
BY means Of this line the citizens of Ev-
ansville will be connected directly with every
point on each side ofthe river, and be enabled
TO SelQ Ln6lF ulSpdlCiICS at nan tHO Ooo1 anu
with twice the speed which can possibly be
attained at present
Another and important consideration may
he found in the fact that little or no delay
need be apprehcnded in the sending of dis
patches, as this route secures Us two ways oil
sending Eastern dispatches, riz: if the line De
down between Vincennes and Louisville or
Louisville and Cincinnati we have the La
fayette route This will always secure TO us
direct Geographic communication with every
important point.
These and many other inducements can be
offered TO our citizens to raise stock for thi:
line, but we feel confident every business mar
will at once see the benefit to be derived from
its completion, and lend his aid to this pur
pose.

HThe cultivation Of the Pine apple has
been commenced in Florida; and with a little
protection occasionally IN winter, it is believed
this delicious fruit can be raised in that State
in abundance. The banana, guava, fig. date,
plum, orange, and in fact all tropical fruits,
are now successfully cultivated in the neigh
borhood of st. Augustine, and the Ancient
City. A paTer published at that place, says
that with a moderate degree of attention
Florida can be made to be not only the land
of flowers but the land OF fruits.

Pictorial Brother Jonathan.

Wilson & Co.'s grand Jubilee Pictorial
BROTHER JONATHAN is now issuing from their
press in New York. As an illustrated histor-
icaI sheet it is of great value. The trial of
Sarah Good, for witchcraft, at Salem, $50
years ago, so graphically described by John
Neal, is here presented (from spirited orig
inal design by Matteson) in large and finely
wrought picture occupying an entire page Of
the Jonathan. Raising the First Liberty
Pole, " is another fine large engraving-the
subject being taken from Fenno Hofman's
description of that interesting revolutionary
event in the Mohawk Valley. Besides these
grand features the JONATHAN abounds in fun
and satire for juvenile readers; and two ofthe
inner pages are occupied by Washngton's
Farewell Address, " printed in a beautiful
script running -hanI, and with Washingtol's
own signature. Altogether Il is famous Ju-
bilec Pictorial is superior to any we have seen
in former years. The price is, as usual, II
cents per cory.
