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 Geographic communication whatever, and
the lines 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 of numerous repetitions,
and the frequent interruptions incident to long
lines. When the facts are borne n mind that the
liability of a 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 a direct
route over the circuitous ones now in operation
can readily be seen
