THE CONTINENTAL TELEGRAPH
Yesterday, he telegraph supenntendents Of
the lines east and west made circuit connection
direct through from New York to San Francisco,
distance Of four thousand miles. OF that fact,
however, we expect you would be fully apptised
last evening But for the war, the event would
have been noticed with every demonstration Of
joy Il is the greatest feat Of telegraphy.
The fact is there, and yet seems beyond our
powers of eoapreheBaion- The citizens Of New
York communing with tbs citizens Of San Fran
cisco the same IS if they stood face to face,
within arTn's grasp Of each other. Well might
the operator on the Atlantic shore say to the op-
orator on ne Pacific shore, " sm glad to see
YOU 'sHoT's your health Z" Instantaneously
they felt each other, and She 'click, clisk.n Of
dots, dsshes and spaees-each like the photo
graphic symbol representing il sAlutatioE, in
quiTy and response, was as instantaneous as IL
the toreue had uttered and the ear heard. For
the Accomplishment Of this great feat at the
present time, We are indebted to Mr.. Creighton,
Of the Pscifc Telegraph liDes and Mr.. Gamble,
Of the California State line They have both
been here for the past tWo weeks arranging for
the security and efficiency of the lines during
the coming winter, which, am pleased to be
able to say, is exceedingly favorable.
SENATOR LATHAM.
We have had two days of the Erssenee Of
California's representative, whieh, though not
intended by him, made tho nesAborRood of
Brother ToHnssnd's hotel AZ lively and gay as
the surroundings Of Bsrnumis S5or-stses he
mayor and city council, hearing of Senator La
tbam's intended visit, cAlcul&ted showing him
all The honor they coald but tho senator very
courteously declined the hospiAlities of the
city, as his stay was to be - very limited
California, for the last few yeSs. has shown
considerable interest in Utah, and looking 10
the building of that Pacific railroad, has
arrived at the sensible conclusion that it
can be vastly eaGer and better built by
the assistance of the Territory Of Utah than
BY its opposition. The CslifornH delegation
has extended to the delegates from Deseret what
assistance they could ia presenting Dessrets
claims for admission into the Union, in conse-
quence Of which Senator Latham would have
had good time with the brethren-if he had
only stayed lo2F enough. The Senator visited
President Young and with him and his friends, |
/ noticed, passed through the magnificent thea |
ter, got on to its deck roof, and had fine view |
of tbe city The Senator left yesterday for !
in company with A. J. Centre, ESQ |
the treasurer of the Overland NAL company |
On their departure big crowd was around, iu |
expectation of a speech, but the Senator was !
