The telegram and the War :.

n
The Emperor Of Russia has great ad-
vantage over his adversaries in extensive tele-
raphcommunications, almost tothe scene OF
war in the C1mea, by which he receives intel
] ligence from the battle field several days in
advance of the allies. The Russian dispatches
from the Crimea are sent by courier to Koursk
in forty hoursthey are transmitted from Koursk
to Moscow by the signal telegraph, and from
Moscow to st. Petersburg by magnetic tele-
graph. From St. Petersburg they are sent by
the signal telegraph to Warsaw and from War
saw by electric telegraph to Vienna. Berlin,
Hamburg Paris and London. The accuracy
of early news through this source has been
fully tested by subsequent advices,a and the news
from the Crimea by way of St. Petersburg is
more relied upon than the reports received by
the Governments of France and Great Britain
The popular estimate of the value of well reg
ulated telegraphs has risen some hundred per
&C mt. since the commencement Ct the war
The telegraphic lines between Vienna and the
nearest port on the Black Sea are now nearly
completed, and it is semi-of4cialy announced
that news will probably be transmitted ina few
DAYS from Sebastopol to Paris within the space
of 48 hours. Thence it can be diffused all over
the continent Instantly.

''Well, perhaps it will not" said his grand

slowed it away carefully in the barn.

1t continued to snow all day long, and the next
morning it lay in great drifts around the house.

and soon cleared the paths of snow. When he
