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 land
the lines now established between other points
are, in most cases. disconnected, following cir
cuitous routes, hundreds Of miles out of direct
course, causing vexatious and unnecessary delays
to business, by reason of numerous repetitons,
and the frequent interruptions incident 10 long
lines. When the facts are borne in mind that the
liability of a telegraph line to damage from any
cause is increased in the same proportion its
length, and that the repetition of a message dou-
bles the time necessary for its transmission, the
great and very important advantages of direct
route over the circuitous one. now IN operation
can readily be seen.

THE PROSPECT

Is most fattering. The location of the line is
one Of the best in the country. 1t passes through
a large number of importantcities and towns where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in
creasing. The country along the river Is receiv-
ing constant accessiOns of wealth and population,
and these will bring an increase of trade which
must corrcspondingy add largely every year to
the business and profits of the company. All the
old telegraph companies throughout the country
are now, and have been, paying satisfactory div
idends, capital stock that has been repeated
eddy watered. If these companies, controlled by
few wealthy individuals owning nearly all the
stock, do this, it is quite reasonable to sup
pose that company, owned and managed by lis
patrons, with its lines SO desirably located, and
with u limited amount of stock, can nj least do
equally as well.
