of the same for Postal, Military and other pur-
poses.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives of the United States of America, in
Congress assembled That any Telegraph Conn
pany now organized or which may hereafter be
organized, under the laws of any state in this
Union, shall have the right TO construct main
tain and operate lines of telegraph through and
any portion of the public domain of the In

post roads Of the United States which have been
or may hereafter be declared such by act of Com
gress, and over, under or across the navigable
streams or waters of the United States Provid-
ed, That suchlin of telegraph shall be so con-
structed and maintained not to obstruct the
navigation of such streams and waters, or inter
fere with the ordinary travel on such military or
post roads. And any of said companies shall
have the right to take and use from such public
lands the necessary stone, timber and other ma
terial for its posts piers, stations and other need
full uses in the construction, maintenance and OPP
Grafton of said lines of telegraph, and may pre-
empt and use such portion of the unoocupied
public lands subject to presumption, through which

KIND OF LINE TO BE BUILT.

KIND OF LINE To BE BUILT.
The Company propose to construct their lines
in the most substantial manner possible. All
material useI will be of the most approved kind
and quality, and the work of construction will
be done by the company, under the immediate
supervision of practical men, of long experience
in constructing and managing telegraph lines,
who viii be instructed to spare no pains to make
every portion of the work Of the very best char
acter.
CAPITAL STOCK.
The capital stock of the company is One Mil
lion of Dollars, and is divided into shares of one
hundred dollars each. The company desire to
distribute the stock in small amounts among the
business men along the entire length of the line,
in order to their interest in the welfare of
the company, and to secure to them, its patrons,
their share of the profits from its business.
ASSESSMENTS OF STOCK.
Only five per cent of the stock will be required
to be paid IN at the time of subscription and sub
sequeut calls viii uot exceed ten per cent. per
month. After the first payment of five per cent,
further call will be made until Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars shall have been subscribed.
The company confidently believe that they will
not be compelled TO call in more than fifty or six
~ per cent of the subscriptions in order to place
the line in complete working order.
DIVIDENDS.
the amount of business done by the companies
now in operation, and giving them an equal share
of the business between competing points, the
company confidently believe that large and re-
munerative dividends can be made and they
further believe that taking into consideration the
great advantages which they will possess in a
short and direct route, they will be nle To
nearly All the business along the line, which will
place the stock at high premium, and make il
one of the best Investments to be found.
WHEN TO BE DONE.
The company propose to commence work at an
early day, and to push it forward rapidly as
possible, and intend to have their lines completed
without delay.
DISTRIBUTION OF DIRECTORS.
The stockholders will be represented by Direc-
tors at the principal points of the line.
THE PROsPECT
Is most hattering. The location of the line Il
one of the best in the country. 1t passes through
large number of mportantcities and towns where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in
creasing. The country along the river is receiv,
ing constant aceessons of wealth and population
and these will bring an increase of trade which
| must correspondingiy add largely every year t.
the business and profits of the company. All the
old telegraph companies throughout the country
are now, and have been. paying satisfactory div
idends, on a capital stock that has been repeated
! eddy watered. If these companies, controlled by
a few wealthy individuals owning nearly all the
stock, do this, it is quite reasonable to sup
| pose that company, owned and managed by in
patrons, with its lines desirably located, anG
with a limited amount OF stock, can at least d,
| equally as well.

NECESSITY FOR 1T.

The want of Line of Telegraph, located with
a view to accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many important towns are now with
out any telegraphic communication whatever and
the lines now established between other points
are, in most cases, disconnected, following cir
cuitous routes, hundreds OF miles out OF a direct
course, causing vexatious and unnecessary delays
to business, by reason of numerous repetitions,
and the frequent Interruptions incident to long
lines. When the facts are borne in mind that the
liability of telegraph line to damage from any
cause is increased in the same proportion as its
length and that the repetition of message dou-
bles the time necessary for its transmission, the
great and very important advantages of direct
route over the crcuitous ones in operation
readily be seen.
