MoRsE's TELEGRAPH-CoMMoN CouNcIL-The
advantages that have resulted to the community al
large, by the introduction of this most valuable me-
dunn OF communcation-no matter in what local
lty II may be placed-have been so repeatedly ac-
knowledged and commented upon, that we do not
deem II necessary, now that its merits have been
so universally allowed, and sufficiently tested, to
add anything relation to lis efficient and almost
superhumau agency, as means Of communication
We have repeatedly advocated its introduction in
every available part of the Union, from thorough
conviction of its importance to every social and COM
mercal member, who breahes the free air under
which we live. II has forced its way upon the con.
sideratlon OF Congress whose tardiness in giving it.
TAR trial we have frequently condemned


lis successful operations between Washington
and Baltimore, have, indeed, as,onished every one
who has glanced at the daily records that have
teemed through the press, communicating with
electric rapldliy, synopsis of the proceedings in
Congress, and general digest of the news of the
day every second from the Capitol TO Baltimore

appropriation for fixing the Telegraph in favored
locality, and so the matter has rested

Council have passed resolution in favor of allow.
ing lis introduction into this city, which, should
Boston or Philadelphia have sufficiency of public
sprt, will enable both the latter cities to avail them
selves OF this STEP as preliminary to the establish
mfnt OF line on the electromagnetic plan, be-
tween both cities, New York has done and will do
her part IN the premises. What say Boston and
Philadelphia? We throw down the gauntlet from
Old Gotham, and challenge them TO enter the lists
on this enterprise
