NECESSITY FOR 1T.

The want of a Line of Telegraph, located with
a view to accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many important towns now with
out any telegraphic communication whatever, and
the lines established between other points
are, in most cases, disconnected, following cir
cuitOus routes, hundreds of miles out of direct
course, causing vexatious and unnecessary delay $
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 circuitous in operation
can readily be seen.

one of the best in the country. 1t passes through
large number of important cities and towns where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in

DIVIDE NDS,

From carefully prepared estimates, based upon
the amount of business done by the companies
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 able to
| nearly all the business along the line, which will
place the stock at high premium, and make ii
one of the best investments to be found
