MORALS OF FASHIONABLE LIFE IN
NEW YORK

The New York ItmeS under the head of
Morals of Fashionable Society,"" gives US a
most revolving picture of social corruption
among the fashionable classes of New York.
We had previously learned from the same
authority that murder and robbery We're so
common among the lower orders of the New
York populace that it was unsafe to walk
any of the more secluded streets alter night
fall. We were also aware that the whole po-
lice was so corrupt, the Mayor and Common
Council included, that the entire population
had to rise en- masse and tura them out of of
fee. But we were not prepared for such de-
pravity in the social life of the Upper Ten,
as the Times describes. That journal saws
there is as much room for moral reform
among the fashionables of New York as in
the Five Points. 1t draws this picture as a
specimen of class:

A NEW TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

There is no question about the fact, that
this city is very much in want of a new Tel
egraph line, and cannot hope to be put upon
an equal footing with the other Atlantic
cities in the matter of intelligence unless
such line is established. The subject is of
very great importance to Richmond. We
are here in the dark, when contemporary cities
are in possession of all the news. Our mer-
chants are left to jog along with their trade
upon the reports of the steamer before the
last, while those of other cities are driving
ahead with the last steamers quotations and
intelligence before them. Our merchants
cannot get the news, nor can the press obtain
it to lay before them. The line is frequently
out of order, and when it is in order, the
through messages are often despatched on
South of us, while we are ignorant of their
purport.
The advertisement of an effort to get up a
company here to construct a new line, will
be found in our paper this morning. Capt.
ROGERS, who signs it, knows great deal
about Telegraphs. He is an ingenius and
reliable gentleman. He has been long con-
nected with the business, and has devised
improvements and formed plans for convey
ing lines across rivers, that have gained him
great eclat He has invented and applied a
lightning arrester-the object of which is to
protect the wires from the atmospheric cleo
tricity, which has heretofore made the opera
ration of telegraphing so dangerous during
thunder storms, as to render its suspension
necessary for the safety of the operators.-
With this Improvement, however, the trans
mission of messages may continue while the
storm prevails.
Capt. r. will put up fine line for us,
should company be formed We trust that
the most liberal aid will be extended to the
enterprise, and that we may have as prompt
and regular telegraphing here as in any city.
1t is proposed to construct the House printing
line from Washington to this city, Norfolk
and Petersburg. This connection effected,
there will be continuous line on that prin-
ciple from Richmond to all the chief cities
of the North.
If the necessary subscription be raised, a
company will be formed under the general
law of the State and when organised, it will
have the entire control of the scheme
