The army telegraph now consists of over one thousand miles of wire stretched through the different camps, from the headquarters of General Hooker on the left, running towards the right wing till it reaches Hancock, Md. One hundred and ten operators are now in the employ of the Government. Gen. McClellan can sit at the table in his private house and talk to the different Generals, all at one and the same time, and independent of one another. When any division moves, the line can also be extended, as each division has a corps of builders and a ready supply of wire, poles and insulators always ready. So effectual are the means that have been taken to prevent accident and delay, that it ail be impossible for more than one out of a dozen lines to fail at once. Strong guards will be kept all along the wires wherever they cross over exposed country, as the army moves, to prevent obstruction. —Phil. Inquirer.
