WASHINGTON AND NEW ORLEANS TELEGRAPH
CoNrANY.-At a meeting Of stockholders of thus
company, held at Washington, on the 4h and 9Th
ulumo, Eam Alexander, Esq, of Macon, was
elected President Amos Kendall was reelected
Treasurer and Messrs. Seaton and French, of
Washington City, Trustees. A full report of the
condition Of the company was made by the retiring
President, MIR. Grfin-showing that the line, for
the eight months it has been in operation, has done
a large and profitable business, Notwithstanding
the difficulties attendant on the first operations of
new work of its magnitude. Several hundred
miles Of additional second wire have been put up
principally from the earnings of the first-and the
line improved in other particulars. 1t has now a
fair prospect 81 becoming most useful and pro-
fiable line, and when the rates of charge are re-
duced, It will unquesonsbly become st more So
1propos to telegraphs. What is the matter on
the Eastern line On Monday night we lost
despatch in consequence of some difficulty between
this city and Boston. On inquiry into the cause
we ascertained that the construction ef Of the
new lines-IIouse's, we believe-interfered with
the operation Of the old line. In putting up the
wires on the new line, the old line is crossed and
recrossed, and thus our communications, among
others, are lost. Now, we hope that the line
will not interfere any more with the old one there
i- certainly roc,n enough between here and Hos-
ton for the wires of both. Therefore, Mr.. House,
please tell your workmen 10 let ourncws dispatches
come along.
