Jean Bart,a French naval commander of the seventeenth century, Was at one Ume ordered to convey the Prince de Conti, candidate for the THE MILITARY TELEGRAPH. Lines of Wire w Operated the Government. 3 ‘TWO THOUSAND MILES OF WIRE NOW USED FOR MILI- TARY PURPOSES—THE COST OF MAINTAINING LINES Teport, just submitted to the War Department. He says: The telegraph room of the central office has been conducted with the same efficiency as has characterized it in past years, and all work ‘has been most satisfactorily and promptly done, Ia addition to the receipt of more than a million Words of cipher reports, and the transmission of about 80,000 service telegrams, the men of this Toom have aiso been charged with auditing the large and intricate telegraph bills connected with ‘the work of this service. Judging from the grave misstatements publicly made, regarding military telegraph lines operated by this service, there just be a misapprehension as to their location, use and extent. ‘This service has built in the past fourteen Years about 8,250 miles of military tele- graph lines, which fortunately the rapid advance of settiement and civilization bas reduced to less than 2,000 miles. ‘THE GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH LINES operated by the service are of two classes: 1st, ‘The military lines proper, maintatned for military purposes only, but which also transact such com- mercial business as may offer. 2d. The seacoast lines, which are of no value so far as any military necessity now existing 1s concerned, but which are of great value to maritime intefests and to Tesidents and Visitors at or near the points through Which these lines are built. There are in existence at this time 1,00 miles of telegraph lines which | are used for’ strictly military purposes, and in connection With Wuieh four officers, forty-six en- listed men, and thirty-three civilians of this corps are now serving. These are frontler telegraph lines, used for facilitating military operations in the Todian country through which they pass, and insuring safety to the settlers by their presence. It has been alleged that these lines are for meteor- ological purposes, and they have been even cred- ited with doing ah amount of weather telegraph- ing equal to that of ali the commercial lines of the country, The weather observations made at the omens of the milita:y telegraph lines are simply incident to the service, and if the entire 1,005 miles of lines were abandoned to-day the eftl- cleucy of the general. weather service would be ta ho Wise impaired. ‘The $24,000 charged against the weather bureau for tue Operation and mainte- hance of these lines 181 reality @ part of ordi- nary Army expenses for military purposes, the execution Of which devolves, by the strict terms of the act of Congress, June 33, 1874, on the Chief Signal Ofiicer of the Army. ‘THEIR MILITARY VALUE. ‘The value of most of these lines, from # military Standpoint, cannot be questioned. It is apparent toevery soldier that Arizona and New Mexico could not be efficiently protected against Indian outbreaks without the greater part of these mille tary linea, and tue Value of the Rio Grande line, 1o avoiding serious complications on the Mexican frontier, has been set forth by the experiences of the past month. ‘These lines transact for settlers such commercial Dusiness as 1s presented, and tne Tecelpts irom Unis source, aggregating for the past Yeur $4,172.84, have beeu turned into the Treas. ury, ‘ue asyiegate expenaitures, including saia- nies of omicers and men of the Signai Corps, amounts Ww 366,700, exclusive of assistance given by the use o1 Army teats and labor, wuich if hired im open market Would have cost ‘about $20,000 more.” i the Department of Dakota, containing 362 miles Of line, the Government sold during the year 135 between Giepuine aud Poplar River.

Tue line from Pooenix to Maricopa, 30 miles, Was so.d, and also 7 miles at Fort Huachuca, ‘flere are 375 miies im the De- paruneat of tue Platte, wuich contained the great- est number of changes. ‘Tue line trom Fort Kob- inson to Crawford, 3 miles, was abandoned. A Moe 87 miles in iéugta was built from Fort Du Chesue to Price Station. The line from Fort ckinney to Powder River, 51 miles, was trans. erred irom Une Quarterin ster’s Department of the Army. The service ieased and repatred 152 miles Of sue from Rawlins to Fort Washakie. 4 COSTLY SECTION.
