TnE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH--lTs CON- rEMPLATED ExrENsIoN-ITs IMPORTANCE. The contemplated extension of the Magnetic Telegraph by private enterprise, from New ork to Boston, may be hailed us a stride in the march of intelligence of no ordinary im- porance It Is one of those triumphs in the arts of Peace that knit our people in closer relations of union and brotherhood. The Magnetic Telegraph annihilates distance So complete Is this annihiladon that the news papers at Baltimore have made arrangements to report the proceedings of Congress ny Telegraph. so as to have the intelligence from the capitol 40 miles distant as soon even ] AS 4ife Washington papeFs.~-. A. -hkeetieet will happen when the line Is established between New York and Boston. The news from Europe brought by the Boston packet will be known in N. York 220 miles distant as soon as it is in Boston. And so likewise when the line is completed between Albany and Buffalo, which we understand is in con temptation. Will not the Telegraph literally render our people one family flor when il is fully extended throughout the Union, OUT brethren in Louisiana will receive inteli- gence from their brethren in New ork and Maine, almost as quick as if they were seat ed around the same board-within the sound ol each others voices. Perhaps it is not fig uratve to say that hundreds of miles will then seem no more than previously as many hundred feet.
 All know the influence railroads have ex. ercised in drawing distant parts of the con- try together, and in breaking up the preiu- dices and asperites of sections. Utica and Syracuse now seem almost part of Albany few years since they were alar of. The iron horse which has diminished the time in travelling, has brought about this revolution, but still more remarkable is the Telegraph. Under its operation New Orleans will be nearer 10 New ' ork, SO far as regards the transmission of intelligence, than Albany is now.
 It will certainly seem odd, but such will most assuredly be the case, that the result oi the election in New Orleans will be known in New Y ork, on the same evening. And thus when fl is extended to all our principal cities, the Presidential election will be known throughout the Union oR He rery dag He potcs are coSi. This magical transmission ol intelligence would relieve the anxietes, the doubts, and the labors of thousands who now trltter away their time weeks after the election in ascertaining the result in other States.
 The Presidents Message could also be thus transmitted frem Washington to Maine or Louisiana few hours after it's delivery l. would be an express far exceeding in feet ness aud certainty, the neyer-tiring locomo- tive.
 It is impossible to enter into a 1.-the of the results which will flow from the adoption ol this wonderful agent. Good must come oi II, that is certain. While the Patriot and the American who looks forward to the time when our great confederacy shall stretch over the Mississippi and Oregon Territories, embracing perhaps sixty States, some of which are separated thousands of miles, will regard this new and mighty agency in interchanging thoughts, sentiments and feelings, as one oi the indissoluble links of firm and indisSola- ble union, and making us all feel that we are still one nation--with one language-one Capitol--and more than all, with one heart.
