The TELEGRAPH AND THE WAR.-0ne Of the
most suggestive facts in connection with the
Eastern war, is the use to which the telegraph,
eminently an Invention Of peace, has been put.
In the great European struggle, which ended
with the exile Of Napoleon, days and even
weeks elapsed before some Of the most impor-
tant events were known in Paris or London
The news of Waterloo took a longer time to
reach the British capital than the news of the
fall of SsbastOpol. The news of Moscow, Abou-
kir and the Pyramids was a week, q fortnight,
and month old respectively, on arriving at
Paris. Bat the intelligence of the capture of
the MalakOf was at .he Tuilleries and ST.
James, though distant from Sebastopol the
length IF an entire continent, while the sky
was still red with the conhagration Of the town,
while the magazines were still exploding, while
the retreating Russians were still thronging
over the bridge. Almost, indeed, before the
bombs had ceased TO hum through the heavens,
or the Kissing Of the round shot had given way
TO the roar of burning houses, the people, in
London aud Paris, were shouting over the VIC
tory, and the church-bells of England were
clamOring, from lands end to lands end 1t
is an event like this which makes men realize
what the magnetic telegraph is.-PhiLadeL-
