New TELEGRAPH LINE.-We have been
called on by Mr.: Peyton Johnston, OF
Richmond, the agent of the Southern
and Atlantic Telegraph Company. who
visits this city for the purpose OF obtain
Ing subscriptions to the stock of the
company. We arc informed the wires
are in operation to Richmond, Lynch.
burg. Petersburg. and in progress of
erection to Danvillc, which point, it is
expected to reach in about twenty DAYS:
hence to continue on to this city, where
it will meet the line under construction
from Charleston. It is to be continued
on to Augusta, Savannah. Mobile and
New Orleans. This company has al
ready caused q very considerable reduc.
ton in the rates of telegraphing-the
cost of ten words to any part of State,
rally below the old rates. The stock
has been freely taken in other cities
being considered II paying investment,
besides m enterprise TINT all the lateral
cities and towns on the great Southern
Railroad line cnn avail themselves Of, by
subscribing proportionable amount to
its extension. We further perceive that
Gen. Wade Hampton and Col. VIM.
Johnston, Of Charlotte, are directors in
the company-which is n guarantee OF
safety in making an investment in the
