, From the Herald.
It may not be generally known that tn
Government has recently assumed c0ntr
of the Western Union Telegraph Line bt
tween Helena and Corinnc. or rather as
sumed the responsibility Of keeping the lin
in good repair. This, however, appears t
be the case, for Capt. Burnct, and squa
Of men, by order Of Col. Gilbert. left Fol
Shaw this morning for Helena, and frO'
this city he will proceed to Pleasant Valley
posting his men at different stations alon
: the line for duty as above stated. An off
Ger and squad Of men will likewise be sell
out from Fort Hall, Idaho, to do simila
duty between Pleasant Valley and Corinne
The order directing this movement was is
sued by General Sheridan at the instanc
of the Superintendent of the W. U. 7. Co.
who is stationed at Chicago. The line b.
tween Helena and Corinne will soon b
kept in first-ratc working order, and OH
readers may expect to receive their dir
patches with some degree Of regularity
Hence we have cause to rejoice therea,
The conditional stipulation upon which til
change is made is that, while the Govern
ment pays the expense necessarily INQUIRE
in keeping the line in repair, the W. L. 7
Co. guarantee to assume all other expenses
such rs the salaries Of operators and othc
employees, Office rent, &c. This new Al
rangement, which is capital one, con
: mences to-day, and SO soon as Capt. Bunet
| and his corps Of assistants get to work, "
may reasonably expect decided change fn
the better.
