Uses of the Telegraph. A correspondent sug.
gests to the Morning News a valuable purpose
that may be attained by the Magnetic Telegraph,
thus: .... .. ....... .---.-, -. x.


"There is one use to which the Magnetic Tele-
graph may be put on our Atlantic coast that have
where seen mentioned-it is in telling US of the
approach of northeast storms. 1t is well known
that they commence in Philadelphia often some
hours soonerthan here, and farther south-at Bal
timore, Washington or Norfolk-still earlier; and
here before they commence in Boston. Now,
word could be sent ahead Of any hurricane OF
Storm from station to station, and thus prevent the
loss of many richly laden vessel: For, instead
of leaving port only to beat against the wind, or
get on lee shore, they could remain securely
moored at the wharf until the storm is over Not
only may&he merchant and mariner be benefited,
but all classes, especially theefarmer, who might
be notified of the approach of northeast storm,
a considerable extent of country and thus, in
harvest time, save thousands OF dollars worth of
hay and grain Why, am not sure but that We
shall see the time when we will look at the news
papers for the latest magnetic intelligence, so as to
know whether to take out umbrelles along with us
or not. Yours, &c. ]. c."
