THE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.

We were waited upon last week by Messrs.
TOWNSEND g. Co., who propose erecting a line Of
the Magnetic Telegraph from Winchester to
Harpers-Ferry, there TO connect with the great
Western line of communication with the Eastern
Cities. It. proposed TO establish an office in this
place if our citizens are sufficiently energetic and
disposed 10 take certain amount Of stock, from
which it is believed there will be realized from
g 70 IS per cent.
The cost Of the whole line between the two
points named is estimated at $8,0 00-a fair pro-
portion of which tits desirable shall be taken by
the citizens of Jefferson. The subject is a new
one to many of us yet the advantages arising
from having direct communication, or in other
words being able at any moment 10 know what
the state of the markets are in the cast together
with other important intelligence are so selfeyi-
dent that the project needs no commentator al
our hands.
The farmers and millers of our county will
consult their own interest by giving this subject
their early attention, it is proposed to enter al
once upon the work, and have the whole compile
ted in the course Of forty days from this time
We hope thatthc enterprising and energetic will
give the matter due reflection and then act
promptly in reference to the proposed work. :
