MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.

The Washington Union of the 18th inst,
contains letter from Amos Kendall, Civ
ing some very interesting information as
to the progress which has been made in ex-
tending, and preparing 10 extend, Morse's
Electro Magnetic Telegraph over the coun
try. Lines are now in operation from N +.
TO Washington, Buffalo, and Boston, ma
king an aggregate as the wires run of u
bout 1890 miles. Lines have been built
from Boston 10 Lowell; from Troy to Sara
ioga: from Syracuse TO Oswego: from AT
burn 10 Ithaca; from Buffalo 10 Lock port
and from Philadelphia TO Harrisburgh -
The length Of the lines now constructed is
about 1900 miles. A line is in grogress
from Boston TO Portland; and preliminary
steps have been taken for the construction
Of line from Buffalo 10 Detroit, and
thence through Chicago 10 Milwaukee, a
distance Of about 500 miles, 10 be finished
in ABOUT Is months A line will be imme-
diaiely put up from Washington to Peters
burgh, Va. and an effort will be made
forthwith TO raise the necessary funds TO
carry the southern line through TO New
Orleans next season. Mr. X. says,
"The result ofthe late election in Buffa.
10 was known IT. New York before it was
ascertained from single ward in the city,
and was published the next morning in
Boston and Phiadelp hia, and at Washin-
gion that evening What an instrument
this will be TO prevent betting, when by its

ton can be ascertaned in few hours from
The most distant Sale in the Unioni In
1852, ifnot in ls4s, the result Of pres;-
dental election will be known throughout
the confedeFacy the day after it is held"
When the line is completed 10 Milwau-
kie, as contemplated, we shall lie able TO
get news hero from the Atlantic border
considerably in adrance of time. For in
stance, an occurrence which takes place
at New York, say at IL o'clock Nj, of any
given day, may be known in Southport, at
4 minutes after IL A. NJ. Of the same day.
There will Of course be difference of
minutes for every degree Of longitude, the
time increasing at this ra,e in the trans
sion of news east, and decreasing in the
transmission west. Southport, being lie
west OF Washington and l4a west Of New
1o.k, we shall have news of occurrences
in the first named city IA minutes, and in
the last named Sc minutes, before they hare
taken place, according TO mean time!

New Terms of Advertising.

The accumulation on our books of debts due
US in other counties, and IN other States !; ann
the great difficulty attendant upon their collec-
tion-to say nothing OF the tax thereby imposed
on US, and the losses we are forced to sustain,
by many of our distant debtors neglectinQ to
send US the amounts they may severally owe
forces on us the necessity of adopting mode
of computing the cost of publications to be
made in our columns, which can be easily under-
stood, and which will enable our patrons to en-
close. with their advertisements, the money to
pay for them. Our new terms will not vary.
materially, from the old ones and where there
is any change it will be found to be in favor
Of the advertiser For example, we propose
to make 80 words, or less, one square more
than 40, and less than 100 two squares; more
than 100. and less than 24O three squares, &c.
Under the old system the square averages about
rs words.
The price of advertising will not be changed;
the change in the mode of computing the guam
tity Of matter in advertisements, is adopted spe
cially with view to relieve ourself from the
evils of tho credit system.
These rules, we propose, shall apply in all
cases where the persons making publication re-
side out of this cry, except they be Sheriff.,
Coroners, Registers in Chancery, Clerks or
Court, or other public officers. :, "a
Where we open an account with officers Of
court and others Of that elass,we reserve to our
! self the right to charge theold. prices.
