TELEGRAPH LINE TO THE SotrrH. WEsr.-Mr
Thomas Y. Mosby has been selected by the
Board of Directors Of the Lynehburg and Abing
/ don Telegraph Company, to visit the towns and
counties along the Virginia aud Tennessee Rail
road, TO afford the public an opportunity of
subscribing t. the stock for an extension of the
Telegraph Ia the State line. He will be IN 'rs
to to morrow, thence he will come 10 Abingdon.
anil from there 70 the different places along the
= #lte, spending severed DAYS at each place. We
commend him and the enterprise to the favorable
attention Of the people of the South West; aud
We de- not believe thy will allow this opportunity
to pass unimprovcd for securing communication
With this place and all other points Eastward aud
Westward, with which they have commercial
transactions when it can be done by subscribing
to u stock which we feel confident must pay hand
some dividends The stock for the erection of
the line from Richmond to Lynchburg, was sub.
scrihed by the business men of this place, 10 Sc.
cure the Advantages, socially and commercially,
of Telegraph, with little expectation that they
would eyer receive any dividends from it but
the condition Of the Company aud the increasing
business of the line cause the stock now to be
held at par and some who not subscribers
originally have become purchasers Of the stock
as IN investment.
We not Only expect to receive messages along
the line. which it is now proposed to erect, from
the valley Of the Mississippi but the day is not
distant when viii be permitted to talk to our
friends on the shores of the Pacific, easily as
we now do 10 those in Richmond! AS facilitating
that grand result, and an important aud drsi-
rabe enterprise of itself, earnestly hope the
proposed extension viii meet with every encour-
agcmtnt.
