New System of Telegraph.--Mr. Gonon, the inventor of a new system of communicating intelligence by telegraph, is now in our city. He has made an experiment in the presence of many members of the council of the Second Municipality, the results of which produced a decided impression of the practicability of his plan. In a few days, arrangements will be made to try an experiment upon a more extended scale. Telegraphs will be stationed on the dome of the French Exchange, and at some point several miles below, on the coast, and communications will be carried on between the two stations. There can be no doubt of the success of Mr. Gonon's. His system is evidently superior to any hitherto invented; and its general adoption in our country, will be followed by important advantages. The facility and speed with which intelligence can be transmitted from point to point, is truly astonishing. Only one hundred and fifteen stations would be required to establish a complete line of telegraphs between New Orleans and New York. Communications could then pass from one to the other, in fifteen minutes: In this way, even the President's message might be received here from Washington, in three or four hours after its delivery. The importance of the invention should commend it to public notice, and to the fostering care of our state and national authorities.--N. Orleans Bul.
