capture of Savannah by Gen. Sherman: b

Robinson. the superintendent Of the White
Mountain telegraph, communicates to the
Telegropher the following interesting fact:
1t was found impossible to get ground
connection at or near the summit; although
the ground wire was carried some forty rods
down the mountain to a living spring, where
there was plenty of water, could not perceive
the slightest escape. This. I think, fully DEM
onstrates that the springs near the summit are
completely insulated from the earth below. III,
