The Wonders Of the D0B.-G este rday the pro- |
camation Of the Governor OF Georgia, over thou
oand words, was received at the office of the
Washington and New Orleans Telegraph, in this
CITY, direct from Macon, distance of eleven hun
bred and seven miles This has been accomplished
| by the valuable improvement recently patented
| by Charles :. Buckley, Esq, the inspector of the
| Washington and New Orleans line and it is con-
| ddently believed that, "Bulkleys
Councillors" they called, shall be applied to
| the stations between Macon and New Orleans,
| there will be like facility and certainty in
nicatIng directly to and from that city. Arrange
ments are in progress to establish similar connection
| with the Washington and New Orleans line, and
| the line ofthe Morse Magnetic Telegraph Company,
| and to work the whole line direct to and
| from Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York
| When these connectors are placed on the lines
from Halifax to New Orleans, time and space will
| be annihilated.
The mysteries of the telegraph are developing
| themselves every day. Who would have thought,
even three years ago, that wire, covered and
guarded with India rubber, might be dropped at
| the bottom of the English channel, and stretched
from the British to the French Shore and commu.
nicatons of mind effected by its nterposition from
one side of the channel to the other? Already the
| idea has become expanded to extend across
the Atlantic. Before this right hand may wither in
the grave, this prodigy may be accomplished and
the American and Englishman may converse 3 600
miles apart. But even this may not be the limit
of the miracle. The speculative men in Eng land
are already talking of betting the globe itself with
the magic wire.
Prodgies also arise in another quarter The
communication between England and the United
States formerly required nearly thirty days, in the
best packets, for passing the news from side of
the ocean to the other Now how stands the fact ?
Steam is working the most wonderful effects.
Passages becoming shorter and shorter, until it
IS impossible to predict the shortest period to which
: they may be limited. Who would dream a few
| years ago that the Pacific steamer could cross
from Liverpool to New York in ten days four hours
and few minutes 2-the shortest passage that ever
was known. And is even this to be the lnnit u
the achievement? By no means. Already we
hear it predicted, that with the aid of larger and
more ponderous steamers Of 5000 tons, with wheels
of greater circumference, and of course greater
power the enormous vessel may pierce the waves
instead of going them, going more direct
line instead of the wavy one, and the voyage may
be completed within week. We leave it tc
faturity to solve the amazing problem.-W ashjag
