Original caption: It was often necessary to establish a telegraph service between different points in our lines very hurriedly. This view shows one of the characteristic field telegraph stations. An old piece of canvas stretched over some rails forms the telegrapher's office, and a "hard-tack" box is his telegraph table; but from such a rude station messages were often sent which involved the lives of hundreds and thousands of soldiers.
