The Magnetic Telegraph.

Messrs. CORNELL, LIVINGSTON and RICE nave
been in town some days, comforting with our
business men and other citizens in regard to the
projected Telegraphic Line to connec, Troy and
Montreal, ria Rutland, Brandon, Middlebury,
Vergcnncs, Burlington, ST. Adams, &c. On
Tuesday evening, in pursuance of notice
hastily issued on that day, a few of our inhabl-
tants assembled at Strong's Hall for the purpose
Of concerning measures for the success of so de-
sirablc project. Professor GEO. w. BENEDICT
and o. e. HAswELL, Esq. were the Chairman
and Secretary of the meeting.
After brief and highly interesting statement,
by the Hon. Mr.. MARSH, Of the progress of the
various efforts that have been made, during the
past fifty yearsto muster the Lightnings into the
service of man, and of the success which has
finally crowned the scientific labors of Professor
Morse in that behalf. Mr.. CORNELL proceeded,
in the clcarest and most satisfactory manner, to
lay before the meeting the statistics Of the pro-
posed Line from Troy to Montreal, and the
arguments and motives that ought to influence
the citizens of Western Vermont to a vigorous
thoit W stCuIc W tIltuSclNcS its duN
convcniences. But one opinion was entertained
of the busncss-like clearness and fairness of the
statements and arguments of Mr.. CORNELL, and
we can in no better manner cxcmpliy their effect
upon an audience necessarily possessing but
slight knowledge or observation of the value of
such investments, than by stating that between
THREE and FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS was sub
scribcd before the meeting adjourned. This
amount las been already more than doubled
and no doubt remains that Burlington will do
little mare than her full proportion of the work.
But $4,000 is required, as we have heretofore
stated, to secure the speedy construction of the
Line, and to place Western Vermont in almost
immediate business contact with New York, Dos
ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore Washington, Buff.
falo, Montreal, Quebec, and the intermediate
places. OF this small sum, we are authorized
to regard at least one-half as already in effect
secured in Burlington. Our business men are
too sensible Of the immense advantages to be
derived from the possession of this master invcn.
ton Of the age, to permit the present effort to
obtain it TO fall through.
The intelligent gentlemen above alluded to.
who have this enterprise in charge, will shortly
visit the principal towns OH the proposed line to
perfect their arrangements for the immediate
commencement of the work. We take great
pleasure in commencing them, and the noble
object they are aiming to carry forward, to the
confidence and cooperation of our numerous
friends in Western Vermont. The small amounts
needed in each of the tlourishing towns named,
TO secure stations, &C.. will. we do not permit
ourselves to doubt, be subscribed without hesi-
tation.

specie, Of which sum 100000 belonged to the Pay
masters Department, the remainder to the Quarter

One hundred and twenty-five wagons and six hun.
dred pack mules were in the train, which was escorted
BY 800 troops. The train left Vera Cruz on the night
OF the 4h inst, and OH Sunday the 9th, after advan

OF guerias The place well selected for the pur-
pose by the Mexcans, being represented as detile
broad enough for single wagon only. II is said, too,
that slight works had been thrown up by the Mexicans
TO obstruct our advance.
The attack was made upon each extremity Of the
train ond upon the centre at the time. the prn-
cpal point, however, being the wagons, which were
supposed to contain the specie. Private accounts
present that the attack far successful that forty
OF our wagons were destroyed though not those con
tanning the specie. Two hundred mules, loaded with
subsistence, were taken and thirty Of our men killed.
The check was so severe that Col. Macintosh de-
termned not to hazard an advance without reinforce
menfs Our troops accordingly intrencfcd themselves
behind their wagons, and dispatches were sent off to
Gen, Cadwallader, at Vera Cruz. The General left
