THE "LIGHrN1NG LrNEs.''-This country is almost
completely chained in by lightning. It is estimated
that there are about twenty-five thousand miles of
posts upon which there strung about thirtyhree
thousand miles of telegraph WIRE The nominal
capital invested in the existing lines is estimated at
$4,000 900, but the actual cost of construction did
not probably exceed $2,OO0,OO0, the balance having
been about equally divided between the contractors
who built the lines and the Morse patentees. The
estimated number of messages passing over all the
lines is 100000 per annum or about 900 each
business day.

This distinguished individual, "TenMile Bob"
fCo Robert A. Hunter candidate for State Treasurer
appears in the columns of the last Democrat in
card, in which he disputes the truth of statement
made editorially by the Hon. Peter Alexander, editor
of the Madison American in the issue of his paper of
the sth inst It is now simple question Of veracity
between "Tenb[ile Bob" the champion Of free negro
suffrage in Louisiana, and the Hon Peter Alexander
who is known throughout the State as a man of un
impeachable honor, strict integrity and veracty who
would not knowingly state what false in regard
to a political opponent. And we must say that the
people of Louisiana cannot hesitate which to believe
when "Ten-Mile Bob" says one thing and the Hon
Peter Alexander says the contrary. As to his last
statement in his card in regard to the charge Of the
Ten-Milers being of mixed African and Caucasian
blood he knolcs the same 70 be true and there is
use of wasting words about it.

That the "Ten Milers'' are of mixed blood-ir
other words, free negroes we entertain not the
slightest doubt having been told so time and again
by gentlemen of unimpeachable integrity and intel
gence. And, despite Col. Hunters denial of the
accuracy of the report of his speech, delivered al
Richmond, portion Of which we copied from the
Madison American, we must be permitted to express
our belief in the truth of the report OF that journal
The editor, Mr.. Alexander, we know to he man o
honor, and we must hear from him before we atel
our opinion.
1t is not to be wondered that the Democracy Of

course in Kansas Their parish supremacy depends
upon free negro vote !; and Walkers policy is te

Our dates from Lima are to the 26th July. The

prospect of speedy termination Vvanco is still in

that he was about to make an attack on Areqnipa.

The FLORIDA WAR-The Savannah Republican of
the oath has the following intelligence:
A letter from private in Capt. Jacob Mckler's
company of Florida volunteers dated at Fort Capron
received in st. Augustine Thursday last, states that
Capt Mickler had captured five more Indians, one
man and four squaws, and that the Indians have
holsted a white flag as signal for alk." Capt.
M. was about sending a detachment of twenty five
men, who are to be Joined by others from other com,
panies, to meet the Indians in council. The writer
adds that the probability is that the war will be
ended, and that the Indansw surrender themselves.
The Pensacola Democrat states that the Indians
captured since the commencement of the war are to
be placed on Egnont Key, under the charge of an
adequate guard. The lumber is now on the ground
to erect house for their accommodation.
