TELEGRAPH LINEs.-From the Merchants
Magazine we find that there are now in opera
ton 1o7, $50 miles of Telegraphic lines, of
which, America has as much as the rest of the
world combined, viz 5000 miles. England,
France, Germany Austria, Prussia, Russia and
all other kingdoms of Europe, have only 40, $50
miles. Australia has IL, 900 miles. while India
and all other parts of the world have only
10000 miles
II is estimated that 100000 messages pass
over the American lines annually; yielding,
probably, net revenue Of $4,000, 900.
There are now $50 miles Of submarine Tele-
graph Cable in use, exclusive of the Atlantic
Cable. of which, the longest is the lile from
Balaklava to Varna, across the black sea-a
distance of $40 miles. This is single wire,
laid in 1855. The next longest line is that con-
Meeting England and Holland, distance of
ll5 miles, composed Of three wires. and laid in
1853. There are various other lines Of from
so to Is miles in length. and though the cost
of these cables is greater than land wires, they
seem to be preferable, except when the land
line happens to pass through n country partic-
ulatly favorable 1t has been estimated that
our globe may be bclted with line for Sl2.-
500, ,000,--a sum that is insignificant by the side
OF the cost of some of our railway lines.

New York Politics.

A large majority of the delegates to the DEM
ocratic State Convention, of New York, which
met at Syracuse on the 18th ult., were friends
of Senator Douglas, and the candidates nomi-
mated for State officers are all anti-LecOmpton
Democrats. The New York Daily Ne,0s, a
strong administration paper. after complaining
of the action of the Convention in rejecting the
anti-Tamany delegates, and enumerating ether
grievances, says:
by such means was the State Convention
controlled in the interest and for the benefit o.
IStephen 4. Douglas and his JetIot0 cOnspirdtoTs
Fortunately, as we have said, decisions SO glar-
ingly outrageous have no binding force or eff
cacy. The Buchanan Democracy do not heed
nor fear them. The Democratic General Com
mittces of Kings, New York and Albany will
not disband at the bidding of the Douglas in
terest. but will enter the field determined to
prove their "regularity" by the local indorse-
ment of the masses"
The Neps grudgingly supports the regularly
nominated State ticket, but from its remarks,
it is evident that the party is not at all harmo-
Nous in that State, and that many of the Le-
comptontes will bolt the ticket. The opposi-
ton, however, is divided into three parties
the aboitionsts, Republicans and Americans
and il is beloved that the Democracy will tr-
umph by large majority.

HroH-TRAL RoBBERY.-Stephen S. Hayden,
of Nevada county, had been to La Porte to see
bis cousin, and was returning on foot for
Downievllle. on Wednesday. As be trudged
along with bis carpet-sack aud blankets, from
Oak Ranch, he reached the brow Of the hill this
side of the saw mill near Monte Cristo, when
the sun was about an hour high. Just then a
man dressed as a Chinaman. with heavy whls-
kers, and mask on his face, stepped out before
him. presented the muzzle OF double-barreled
shot gun. and commanded him to stop aud lay
down bis sack He did so, and two other men,
similarly disguised. came forward, the first
drawing q cooked revolver on him. The third
took up the carpet-sack, and taking it to one
side opened it and distracted Hayden's money
seven ounces in dust, the remainder In coin
amounting to $685. The robbers then threw
Fl. on his face. bound kerchief over his eyes.
tied his hands behind him, and told him that if
he moved within five minutes they would shoot
him. They left, as nearly as he could judge by
the sounds in different directions. He laid
still as directed, for about five minutes. and
then started on the down trail. aud arrived
without a cent. He feels severely the loss of
his money, having worked hard for it, at three
dollars day.-Sierra Democrat.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.-No dispatches had
been received over the Atlantic cable since the
first of September, and the most painful apprc-
tensions were felt in every quarter of the Union
for its safety. Mr. Field informed the public in
a card that the delay was probably caused by
the changing Of the shore ends at Valentia Bay
and the adjustment Of the new electrical instrl-
ments ; but as twenty days had elapsed without
any communication. the conviction was gaining
credence that the whole affair had proved o
failure, so far as practical results were concern
ed. The public were assured just previous to
the departure of the mail of the goth, that the
cable was still perfect. and that the difficulties
were purely of an electrical nature. But by
the late overland mail, we have news that oil
signals had ceased on the third of September
The cause was unknown. The eastern papers
censure the company for concealing the truth
from the public.

THE MINEs.-Although a majority of the
claims in this vicinity are not being worked at
present. owing to the necessity of making pre-
parations for the approaching rainy season,
their maj ket value is not thereby impaired, as
the following facts will show:
There was an interest sold in the McKeeby
Cut, at Junction Bluffs, lately, at the rate OF
$l3, 900 for one fourth share and one fourth
of another claim, at the same locality. brought
1000. The first claim has been worked for
more than three years. paying rich whenever
washed and will last for several years to come.
1t is one of the deepest Hydraulic banks in this
vicinity, being about 100 feet from the surface
to the bed rock. The proprietors are now en-
gagged running tunnel. There have been one
fourth interests in claims on San Juan bill! sold
for as high a sum as $4,000.
The Dead Man Company cleaned mp last Sat
urday, from eight days washing. $500. This
is an earnest of what other companies will do
when their tunnels are completed so that they
can wash the whole depth Of the bank.-Sa''

The DEMOCRAT attemps to solve the question whether
the people of Territories have the right to exclude slavery
not. We understand it 10 express decided opinion
upon this very important subject though nearly column
is expended in clucidation of the queson-Nerdda Jour
1t may never have occurred to the Journal
that the Democratic party has long since taken
the only proper position upon this question.
By the KansasNebraska act, every right which
Congress can confer is surrendered to the peo-
pie of the Territories. Under that act they
have the light to regulate their own institu-
tions, subject only to the Constitution of the
United States. During the discussion in the
Senate on the Kansas bill Gen. Cass. Mr.. Doug
held that the people of the Territories had full
power, either to establish, or prohibit slavery,
and such was the generally received opinion,
until the decision in the Dred Scott case was
rendered. In his opinion in that case, Chief
Justice Taney advanced the doctrine that nei-
ther Congress nor Territorial Legislature had
the right under the Constitution to prohibit a
citizen of any of the States from carrying into
the Territories, whatever was recognized as
propety in his own State. This opinion was q
a majority of the Associate Justices agreed with
him in the judgment of the Court, yet they gave
separate opinions, and based their decisions up
on different grounds Ofcourse, every one who
supports the Kansas bill, must be in favor of
giving the people of the Territories the right to
prob bit slavery, provided it can be exercised
under the Constitution but it has now become
o question for the Courts to decide, and the pol
10y of political parties on the subject is of little
consequence. If the Courts hereafter decide
that Congress can confer upon the people of
the Territories the right to exclude slavery, We
do not anticipate that any political party would
attempt to deprive them of that right. Howev-
er much har-splitting politicians may endeavor
to manufacture capital this su bject, il is re-
ally question of but little practical import
ance.

that in our review of the theatrical manage

We are under obligations to the Journal for this
correction. The hand-bill was our only means
Of knowing the position of this actor, as it was
impossible to tell from his appearance upon
