We were once assured, says ths Mobile Reg ister, by aa operator in the Electric Telgreph office in thia city, that he could toll by tltthng touitdt of the register, ths particular letters and words of any communication, as readily and ac curately aa h could from the signs er marks mads by the pen lerer. This Isd ua to wonder that the proee of reporting from th sounds, or the ides of s Talking Telegraph, had not been adopt ed. We now perceive that- it haa been pet-in ua in one part of our country. The N. Y. Tribune infortna ua that the eompnny owning the tele graph running from Buffalo to Milwaukieeajl ed "The Kri and Michigan Telegraph Compa. ny," working under Morae'a patent, bav for nm time paat discontinued th ursolic ol re cording Ih ordinary tigns, and bate instead there of received their measure by sound. This they have dona for Ihs last two years without interruption, having found that they could re, eeiv three msaeagee ia th asms tint which wonld hero ben occupied in receiving two an der the other system; moreover, that in recait. ing by sound they made fewet mistakes tbaa tbey were liable to-in tha us ef th dots and dashss, and also dispersed with half tha num ber ef operators. The mods of receiving messages by sound is very simple, and one operator is sufficient in stead of two, who were required when the signs ars recorded. Ths operator sits by bis tablt in any part of ths room where the msaaaga ia re ceived, and writes it down aa the sounds art produced. Tha different sounds are made by the striking of the pen lever upon a piece of brass; three raps la rapid suceestioa are mads for tb letler A, two raps, an Interval, and tbea two rapt are made for B,- and so forth.
