June H. 1861-The Government Was Considering Ways
and Means of Organizing Its Military Telegraph Service
One of the Great Modern Aids to Its Armies, Then Just
Coming Into Being Unsung Heroes of the Key

Fifty years ago today the military tele-
graph service of the Unit edStates army
was Just taking shape, and the govern
ment was considering means of organ
izing il as an aid to the forces already in
the field.
Such beginnings as had been made to-
ward an adequate military telegraph sys-
tenn had been the fruits of urgent neces-
sity. When the war began the army had
no field telegraph, though telegraphy had
been in use more than quarter of a
century.
Before the end of the war it was to
have a military telegraph department In
which 1889 miles of lines had been con-
structed, and on which $S,21s,OOO had been
spent.
The thin wire carried on mule back,
the insulated cable, and the battery wag-
on supplying the vital spark to the tele-
graph line, were to become almost as i'm
portant In the equipment of an army as
cannon. and Infinitely more important in
some instances. The general was to
move his forces on the battlefield by
telegraph; was to receive reports from
his subordinates by telegraph, and from
amid the roar of battle was to keep In
touch with Washington by telegraph.
The unorganized beginnings Of the mill
tary telegraph, as successive situations
of emergency made such a thing neces-
sary, are the more interesting in the
light of the magnitude of this depart
ment and its functions before the war
ended.
The subject is not without its field for
imaginations play. How would the war
have been conducted in so large coun-
try without the telegraph. Napoleon, to
be sure, conquered Europe without Its
aid. But Napoleon's field of operations
rarely exceeded the area of single
large American state. except in the in
stance of his invason of Egypt or Russia.
TELEGRAPHS IMPORTANCE.
When the war began the government
relied on the telegraph largely. for con-
veying TO the governors of states its
call for troops. for receiving their re-
plies and for issuing its orders to distant
points.
All its messages at this time were con-
veyed over public lines. as indeed they
were to distant points throughout the
war. These lines were not to be relied
upon, however, where war conditions ex-
listed. as the riot at Baltimore, April 10,
showed the war department. but they
were the only means, and in the end
the best, as a whole, for carrying on
the governments telegraph business.
1t was at washington and in its vicin-
ity that the government was first to feel
the need of lines of it's own to handle its
military messages.
AS no such lines existed one of the
first duties of the telegraph companies,
after the firing on Sumter and the GER
tainty that war was at hand. was to
construct them. This work was not be-
gun, however until after the affair at
baltimore which was the immediate
cause Of the governments first exer-

DULUTH, MINI, Aug. A.-The con-

now meeting here, 1t is expected, will
take up the Wiley-Wilson controversy.

said to have failed. The Wiley men are

Efforts by many In the convention to
keep the matter down have proved use
less, according to the friends of DIR. WI

settled for all time by the delegates.
The Wiley men are credited with
framing a telegram to be sent TO Pres

a close secret. Every delegate is being

Icising its authority to control the tel
egraph.
On the 18th of April the only tele-
graph line from Washington to the
north was that through Baltimore.
When the news OF the riot reached
Washington. the war department, in or
der to prevent this startling intelligence
from. being sent south--it being be-
lieved that an attack on he capital
might follow--seized the telegraph.
Late on the 10th a company of District
of Columbia militia entered the main
telegraph office in Washington and
compelled every operator to varate the
operating room.
From the next room the operators
could hear Richmond and other soutn-
ern offices calling them and the Ere
marks of the southern operators on not
being answered.
No message was sent out of the Of
flee until noon on the goth, and then
only such as a censor from the war
department approved. Operators were
forbidden to converse with others on
the lines and when Richmond asked
why there had been no communication
on the 10th and goth it was told None
of your business"
HEROES OF THE KEY.
Meanwhile the wires to Baltimore re-
NAMED intact up to the 21st. On the
10th a party of rioters had rushed to
the telegraph office there. Its leader
was armed with a Ratchet. He de-
manded that the northern wire be point
ed out to him. This not being done
he severed one wire and the crowd de-
parted.
The operators joined the severed wire
but loudly declared that all the wires
had been cut. This ruse enabled them
TO keep open the lines between the
north and Washington and these were
loaded with urgent government mes
sages.
About 10 D. m. on the 21st communl-
cation ceased, for the lines were cut
outside of Baltimore by parties OF To-
cal militia.
At that time the operators near Bat
ltimore were mere boys. AT Magnolia
81 miles north, was stationed James A.
swift. aged IA, and at Back River, six
miles out, william ]. Dealy, another
boy.
Inc bridges and cutting wires, they took
mn these boy operators. Young Dealy
had been at his key Sc hours without
sleep.
Dealy was taken to Baltimore. where
he was vainly urged to enlist as
Confederate soldier. Swift. being re-
leased. walked to Perryviile. on the
Susquehanna, where he joined the north
ern troops bound TO Washington VIA
ANNAPOLIS. With them he got work.

DANGER IN MESSAGES.
II the early days of the war the tele-
graph caused the government serious
trouble. Friends of the south used the
telegraph so freely that the Washing
ton authorities were led to make a
wholesale seizure of messages on file at
telegraph offices at Washington.
The result was evidence that many
persons not previously considered dis
loyal to the federal government were
found to be So A number of arrests
of persons too active in sending infor-
nation to the south followed this seiz-
ure.
The next step in guarding military
secrets was to put censorship on
dispatches sent out of washington by
newspaper corresondpents.
This was to be followed by a stringen.
order providing for the enforcement Of
an old act making death the penalty
for giving intelligence or holding cog
respondence with the enemy and, ex-
tending it's prohibitions specifically to
messages sent by telegraph. The orfei-
nal law, enacted April 10, 1906, had
made no mention Of the telegraph FOR
the very simple reason that the tele-
graph was then unknown. .
The prohibition mentioned was very
broad in its application. 1t forbade "all
correspondence and communication, ver-
ballys or by writing, printing or tele-
era rrh ing yare speeding operations OF the
army 8 or military movements ons land
or water. or respecting troops, camps,
arsenaIs entertainments. or military at
fairs within the several military dis
tricts, by which intelligence shall be
directly or Indirectly given to the en-
envy without the authority of the major
general in command"

careful what message they sent over

A PASSING NOTICE.

Mrs. W. H. FELTON,:
Recently I saw an article in an At
lanta paper in which you deplored the
failure on the part of the legislature
TO put the finishing touch on the prohibit
ton law Now, il is automatic that rev.
enue is the keystone IN the liquor traffic;
therefore, il was proclaimed in Meth
odist conference several years ago, by
a member in the highest position in that
church, that You will never manage
the trafic until the revenue is knocked
out! About that time there was sug-
gestion published looking toward that
end-that the state monopolize the man
ufacture of liquors for legitimate pur-
poses, and distribute periodically only,
and without any revenue, to any person
or party, in limited quantity, at actual
cost. and according to probable wants
of families
People generally. and many physicians.
have faith in stimulants in emergencies.
Families out of town should keep re-
serve for a prescription) There wou-- be
no apology or business for tiger whislxey.
So the first step toward abating the
whiskey evil Is to knock out the revenue
in the traffic: and the second is TO supply
legitimate wants Then much might be
accomplished by barring young men
from business positions and schools Yum
less they be rational abstainers.
In some way prohibited articles are at
tractive. Stolen waters are sweet" We
hear OF no desire for the Edenic APP
pie until 1t was forbidden; then 1t was
partalken of and handed around. This
seeming perversity in, human nature is
Divinely implanted and gives US free
agency: otherwise there would be no
merit in virtue. The same hand devised
an open way for the transformation OF
nature by grace; and herein lies our
ever ready opportunity for present and
future. Respectfully,
