MoRsE's ELECTRO MAGNETIC TELE

This wonderful machine iz likely,
erelong, to become successful rival to
all other modes Of transmitting bust.
ness and social communications from
place to place. With a line Of the
Telegraphic conductors extending
from this City to New York. the Mer-
chants Of either City would no longer
send their Letters by Mail or Express,
and be subject to delay Of thirty six
hours for the answer. They would
be compelled, by the natural course Of
events, to use the Telegraphic convey
ance, by which means they might get
an answer TO their communications, in
from half an hour to an hour and
half, according to the distance their
correspondents might be from the
Telegraph Office. 1t would require
no longer time TO communicate with
New Orleans, if the relegraphic con-
duc,ots extended thus far, than it would
with New York, or than it does be-
tween School Street and Court, in This
