There are other lines, the names of which we do
not now recollect.
Each of the above has agents EMPLOYED. who
travel with the expresses, and superntend the dev
cry OF every package In the aggrega the distance
travelled by these agents, every day in the year, is
many thousand miles, and the amount of property
daily under their charge and safe keeping is some
miilions OF dollars This business has received
wonderful impulse since the organization of the
magnetic telegraphs, and will hereafter, to great
extent, be dependent upon them As an illustration
oil the benefits tho public will receive from the
two things combined, we will state that when the
magnetic telegraph between Boston and New York
shall be completed, merchant in Boston who has
received an order for an article he has not ON hand
can at four o'clock in the afternoon, transmit an
order by the telegraph, 70 his friend in New York.
tor the article and by means Of the express which
leaves this city every day at five o'clock, he will
receive the article question by breakfast time the
next morning.
THIS express business is creation of modern
times, and as is almost always the case In new and
useful improvements, was established by Yankee.
We have frequently alluded to the benefits that
are certain to arise from the magnetic telegraph.
but we believe we have omitted to mention one
which - an important one, as long as our foreign
relations remain in an unsettled state. In the event
ofa war with England, the magnetic telegraph
would be powerful auxiliary for u.s. Our govern
ment could, at moments notice, transmit inteli-
gence from one city to another on the Atlanti land
case of one being threatened could in an incre-
dlbly short time, concentrate an army at any de-
sired place. and thus Illustrate the intention Of the
enemy. But we are peaceably disposed people in
the main, although there are few of our Western
friends who would have no objection to a brush
with Old England. tits during peace that the tele-
graph business would be Of most importance in ia
cilitating every branch of trade and commerce.
the ensuing twenty years be as prolific in useful
inventions Of this kind, as the last twenty years
have been, perfection indeed will have been &C
quired, and a complete revolution in every thing
accomplished. We hope, if such is to be the case,
that the United States will take the lead, as it has
hitherto done.
