DEAR SIR: We heartily reciprocate your greeting
and congratulations on the suspicious event Of the
completion Of the Telegraph between our cities
Hurrah for Charlottesville and Richmond! Hur-
rah for Crowley! IIurrah for you and S.

astonish the heroes and ssges of other days! =
What would your ancestor, Alexander the Great,
say to these achievementsf Instead of regarding
himself the hero who conquered the whole world,
he would be overwhelmed with the news from
Charlottesville and the rest of the globe that with
the help of small wire and flash of electricity,
Morse had conquered a world many times larger
than that he swayed!
Yours truly, EDITORS DISPATCH.
