constructed within a short ii ne, with inadequate
resources, and against very formidable obstacles
over 1000 miles OF Telegraph, is about to build !
one between New ork and Buffalo. 1t is evident
OF course that the public interest would be greatly
promoted by having competition in this, as II is
in every other enterprise; and if it can he done
without trespassins upon the just rights of any 9th
er party, we trust another line Will be speedily
built.

with Mr. Balm, whose Telegraph have already
described at length for the sole use OF his patents
throughout the United States, and that it is his in
tenton to introduce them upon the line between
New York and Buffalo He expects thereby TO be
ah.e 10 do a huadrcdtl Ld more work than any sin
gle line now in use; and therefore greatly reduce
the price of transmission. Indeed il seems 10 US
clear that if Bans Telegraph should be successful
" introduced throughout the country, it would en-
rey snpercede the mani service, at the present
reduced rates of postage
