NECESSITY FOR 1T.

a view to accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many important towns now with
out any telegraphie communication whatever, and
the lines now established between other points
are, in most cases, disconnected, following cir
cuitous routes hundreds of miles out of direct
course, causing yexatious 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 a telegraph line to damage from any
cause is increased in the same proportion as it,
length, and that the repetition Of a message dou
bles the time necessary for its transmission, the
great and very important advantages of direc
route over the circuitous ones now in operation
can readily be seen.

KIND OF LINE TO BE BUILT.

material used 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 will 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
hundred dollars each. Tho company desire to
distribute the stock in small amounts among the
business men along the entire length of the line,
in order to secure their interest in the welfare of
the company, and to secure to them, its patrons,
their share of the profits from its business.
ASS EASEMENTS OF STOCK.
Only five per cent of the stock win be required
to be paid in at the time of subscription, and sub
sequent calls will not exceed ten per cent. per
month. After the first payment of five per cent,
no further call will be made until Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars shall have been subscribed.
The company confidently believe that they viii
not be compelled to call in than fifty six
ty per cent. of the subscriptions in order to place
the line in complete working order.
DIVIDENDS.
| From carefully prepared estimates, based upon
the amount of business done by the companies
| now in operation, and giving them equal share
of the business between competing points, the
| company confidently believe that large and re-
munerative dividends be made I; 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
1 place the stock mt a high premium, and make ii
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 as rapidly as
possible, and intend to have their lines completed
| without delay. H.. ...'l
DISTRIBUTION OF DIRECTORS.
The stockholders will be represented by Direc-
| tors at the principal points of the line.
THE PROSPECT
Is most fattering. The location of the line is
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
creasing. The country along the river is receiy-
ing constant accessions of wealth and population,
and these will bring increase of trade which
must correspondingly add largely every year to
the business and profits of the company. Allthe
| old telegraph companies throughout the country
are now, and have been, paying satisfactory div
idends, a 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 a company, owned and managed by lis
patrons, with its lines desirably located, ssd
i. | with limited amount of stock, can at least dc
equally as well.
