NEW AND IMPORTANT TEL
EGRAPHIC LINE.

The Legislature of New Hampshire at its
present session has chartered the Vermont and
Boston Telegraph Company, of which VIM.
Warner of Burlington Isaiah Silver and Elisha
P. Jowott of Montpelier, Charles Paine of North
field, and Benz. P. Cheney of Boston, are the
corporators and first Directors. The Company
is empowered to construct Telegraph line con-
Meeting with other lines, and the design is TO
construct line from Burlington TO Boston. con-
Meeting with the New York, New England and
Halifax Telegraph Line, and through that with
the grand chain of the Atlantic, Lake and Mis-
sissippi range of Telegraphs. The stock of this
Company $3.50 per share) is already taken suffi
ciently to warrant an organizations and the
company has been organized -Bain's system 1.-THE
latest and best has been secured, with a right
to all Of his Improvements, and the construction
of the line has been let at a cost lower than that
of any other line. The advantages of this line
are these:
lst 1t connects with the British Steamers at
Halifax thus getting the earliest possible intel
lgcnce from Europe.
esu IL 10 liic lllUAL utItCl IuG W hOhhtuI, php-
ject to fewer breaks than any other.
Sd. Bain's System is superior to any other for
speed and accuracy of operating, and also the
cheapest.
9TH. The line is to be constructed cheaper
than any other now in existence.
With these advantages this line certainly can
command it's fair share Of Halifax and Canada
and Boston and New Hampshire, Vermont and
Canada business, and do it at greater profit
than the existing lines.
AS TO prpfts: we cannot speak definitely; but
it is affirmed that teegraphIng is a very profia-
bic business and ne projectors of this line en-
terrain no doubt vi a satisfactory result in this
particular. 1t is worth remarking that the pa
;ontee has sold his right to this company, taking
his pay in It's STOCK
One hundred shares have been assigned TO
Montpelier, conditioned that the line shall be
built through this place with an Office here
Half oil this amount has already been taken ;
and we cannot doubt that the remainder will be
subscribed Immediately. Montpelier must have
all the facilities for news if her business men
will be up to the times Having ourselves ia
ken our own part of the stock, we feel warrant
ed in calling upon cur neighbors to do their
share. Let US have the telegraph-and all the
railroads and plank roads we can get. Improve
meat is the order Of the day it is Of no use to
stand in the way of it much.
Subscriptions received by E. P. Jewett, Isaiah
Silver or Mahlon Cottrill.

been captured by IL. b. Nj. ship Brltomart, on
the West Coast OF Africa, without colurs or pa
pers She had been previously boarded several
times by ii. B. NJ. ship Dart, when she was al
ways represented az the American brig Freder-

was taken at Congo river, at which place ii APP

chasers. The cook, who was on board al the
time Of her capture, was on board previous to
her being delivered to the BrazllI2ns. She was
sent to st. Helena for adjudication in the Ad
mlraIty Court. About forty OF the negroes died
on the passage. The others were put IA the de-

A great rush for stock. 100000 was the
capital fixed by The charter. The books were
kept open five days, and the amount subscribed
was about eight hundred thousand dollars, When
the new stock of tho Bank of Montpelier was
thrown into market, eight times the amount was
subscribed. Evidently capitalists have a high
opinion either of Montpelier Finauciers or of the
facilities of the place fer profitable business in
banking.

90 We have finished that plank road-
report Don't flatter yourself that the subject is
exhausted, though. 1t is to be continued but
without occupying 50 large space hereaner.--
The fact is, the plank road is to be tried in YER
mont, and is to succeed. Some of the doublers
will one day be as fierce for plank road stock as
they have been of late for Vermont Bank stock.
A pretty strong statement; but stick this predc-
ton fast in one corner Of your memory.

neglected his grounds, and they ran to waste
