Major Myer was the frat, we believe, to introduce it as a rooans of communi cation between different detachments, and he gave tt many practical trials in tho wars with the Indians im the ‘Woatana Southwest. Time and the exizencies of the present strife have brought vast improvements in Bis orm Of signal telegraphing, and it is now one of the most ingenious yet imple means of military correspond. ence. Sueha device is very necessary, when it tx taken into consideration tc what dangers of death, delay or capture the aids-de.camp ona battle feild are liable in the transmission of orders, whose non-attainment ef their destination may invoive defoat oF Gisestrous rout, { 10 will, in fact, do away with such bazardous dutics on the part of aids, while rendering the orders not the lees intelligible or explict. Msjor Myer iz now attsehed to Goneral McClellan's staff as signal offieer of thearmy. A trial wae made of tho powers of the inventions shart time since on the Upper Potomac, and a mensage was in tolli gidly transmitted a distance of swonty-five miler. In this particular case, however, unusual advantages were added jo the way of cloar weath er and ® powerfu) gags; but still the ordinary distance at which signals ean be transmitted is from ten to twelve or fifteen miles ‘The size of the fag \e, of course, increased in proportion | to the distance, and its colora are thowe most easily die cornible Tha expediency was well tested in Sherman's expedition and in the vicinity of Port Royal, and is is invonded to organize @ corps in each division of the army, ander compatont officers of immtruction. A bill is ay present before Congress to make the signal corps a dis tinet branch of the service, like enginegt or artillery corps. The present fyetem will also be improved goas to embrace countersign aignals between raginenta, dis- tingu ishing friends from enemies, though tho tatver may, ae wan the came recently at Draneaviile, ativempt on en trapment by falae bolore.
