CoMPANY.-A bill to incorporate this COM
pany has passed both houses ofthe Maine
Legislature. The Boston Times has the
following, in reference to this undertak-
ing, of which Messrs. Hiram 0. Alden
and James Eddy, of Maine are the origi
nators:
1t will be recollected that bill is now
before Congress, granting two millions of
acres of land, in aid of this enterprise, on
condition that the company transmit for
the Government 5000 wards per month,
free of charge. The company bind them
selves to complete the line in two years.
They propose to lay their wires under
ground, to protect them from storms,
wild animals, Indians, Sc, which are to
be covered by an imperishable insulating
substance, impervious to moisture, and
unaffected by any decomposing influences
of the earth. They propose to lay them
deep enough to prevent them being dis
turbed; and they claim to have discovered
a process Of conveying them across the
beds Of rivers, and through masses of
rocks. They also propose to have testing
tubes every five miles, and operative
stations every hundred miles, on the entire
length of the line. The enterprise is a
gigantic one.
