One of time most important brancimee of time
military service in time war of the rebellion
was pemformned by the munmny of telegraphers.
Time service grew as tlmo'war alvanced. At
first it was small and but few , if any , rellz2d
its inmportane in carrying out effectually

in time different parts of time country. lInt

Somnt of those wimo entered the service Were
mere boys fllhtag positloims of sumeim importance.

"The service was wommtlerfully vcll empulppeti

Timero was a special corps of constructors and
they could build a line of telegrapim as fast
as an army votmld ordinarily travel. In
putting up time lIne imamutily tile umien votmltl
use trees for teicgrcmpim poles. At night ,
wimemt time armmmy camimped , we would fix tmp aim

"Sometimnca we would not commnunlcato ,
however. T'itis would imtippemm wimemm time I
lnemny intercepted our line. and either emit the
iviro or tapped it b rtmmmnlumg a wire down
0 the groummd from somime telegraph Polo.
Plus latter trick was a very adroit way of
utting 01 ! conmnmtmnicatiomis , because It took I
' 0 long to linti the break.
"As the system grew the cipher code
