The TELEeRApns.-The posts for the New
York and Philadelphia Telegraph will be erected
in New York city in a day or two, as far up the
River as Fort Lee, along the track of the Harlem
Railroad, where the wire is to cross the River.
The New York Tribune says.-Sixiy miles of
the wire for this Telegraph is already finished.
The Boston and New York line will probably be
the first completed. as Mr.. Pomeroy has been
literally seconded by Boston capitalists, and the
work is to be vigorously pushed. Ameeting was
held in Utica, on Wednesday, for making final
arrangements for extending the line to Buffalo
East OF that, to Boston, things being already def
nitely fixed. Southwardly there is no progress.
The initial arrangements for prosecuting the
work North from New Orleans have fallen
through.
