TELEGRAPFuC NEGLIGENCE.
To the Editor Of Tie ~ T. Tyibua<.
SIR: took the trouble last night to travel over
the bills, through mud and slush, TO get Mr.. W. II.
Ashby, teegrsphc operator at Yonkers, out of bed.
He came down, and tried for about three hours, TO
get the operator in New-York to receive dispatch
for you at the telegraph office in this city. he told
me before got him up, that be could never make
them take his dispatches at night; but at my socita-
ton he tried, and failed. Had they taken it, you
would have had full account beside a list Of the
saved on tho schooner, their places of residence, &C.,
By IL O'Clock the same night. The conduct of the
operators here is reprehensbe and SHOULD be looked
into; while that of w. H. Ashby Of Yonkers is de-
serving Of commentator.
