There is considerable curiosity 10 the public
mind in regard TO the first dispatch to be forward
ed over the Telegraph Cable IL will, of course,
be of that character that will render t worthy of
transmission to pesterity, but we doubt much If il
will be SO appropriate as the first message ever
transmitted over telegraph line in this country.
When in lS44 by the establishment of q line from
Baltimore to Washington City, the project of tele
graphing was determined to be fixed facr, Mr..
horse, in compliance with previous promise, no.
titled lady of Philadelphia that he was ready TO
receive the message that should first be borue by
fluid,
The message sent by the lady was as follows:-

Coed Will to Man" 4tstsI

ected.

teiegraphic lines dispatch TO Silas Wright,
