From the Southern Confederacy (Atlanta, Ga.)

A Telegraph Station
   Is greatly needed at Kingston. We learn that the courier from Rome bringing the news of the approach of the Yankee cavalry, arrived at Kingston not five minutes before the departure of the train down the road to this place. Five minutes later would have delayed the news of the raid twelve hours in reaching this place, in which time the Yankees could have come to Etowah, or even here, if they had had not other impediment. The interest of the country and the State road, it seems to us, demand a telegraph office at Kingston.
