Success bas attended the enterprise so far, and in a few weeks hence, San Francisco will be connected with lines of telegraph extending four hundred miles eastward. The company now ask assistance of you, in order to still push the work forward. A few weeks more, and our material and means will be exhausted. Shall we then drop the wire where it is, and abandon the enterprise, or will you render that assistance so much desired at this time ? The company are very desirous of at once extending the line to Camp Floyd, by which means communication can be held from the East not to exceed ten days. It is not my desire in this communication, to go into a lengthy detail of the plans of the company, or the advantages this trans-conti-nental line will be to this State, but shall call and solicit that aid so much needed to consumate the work, at the same time", give all the information desired with pleasure.
