STEAMBOAT REGISTER,
We get all the late dates by telegraph

we can, and we are thankful for what we get.
Ii 10 our private opinion we ought to get
more, but suppose the telegraph is all righl
and does the best she can. But for some
reason unknown to Us (lightning or other
causes) we are not permitted to talk about

tain reliable sum. We hope for better
things, and if we don't get them, it will be
no fault of our Office. The telegraph does
agreat many good things, and iss public
Convenience, but from some cause (no doubt
good one) it fails like all things human.
