The Daily Dispatch: December 8, 1860., [Electronic resource], Telegraph feat. (search)
Telegraph feat. --The President's Message was forwarded entire from Philadelphia to Cincinnati by telegraph in six hours, an unparalleled feat of telegraphing. A boy, who is a telegraphic operator at Pittsburg, sent the first column of the matter in fifty-five and the second column in forty-eight minutes. Five columns and a half of matter were received in the office in Cincinnati without breaking the circuit, and it was written in manifold, from the sound of the instrument. The capacity and usefulness of the telegraph is strongly illustrated in the achievement.
