THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

In the Enquirer Of the 20;h inst, my attention was
called ~ al article under this caption, upon which, |
ask permission to offer a few remarks. IL commences
with dep!0Iing the injustice WIKI which Franklin,
Fulton, Columbus nnd many other distinguished Ia
borersi in the fields OF science had been treated. YET,
rhe writer of this art Gle. has nj mo doubt,
uninteltiapallyl The Ike ii ju.tiee against Lieut. John
NJ. Brooke, of the L. =. Navy, tn. Inventor of Brook-'s
Deep-Sea Sounding Apparatus, by which The practi-
cab.i;y OF The Atlantic iels graph has been demon.
slrated. and without which 1t never would have been
undertaken. But, in The artici" which has rendered
necessary these comments, the whole OF merit having
solved This problem. is given 10 Lieutenant Maury
and Berryiaau, without the slightest aliusion 10
Brcoke's uame. Nor 10 this the FIRST time that he has
suffered The same Injustice, from having had his name
ignored in connection with this great work and
I think thigh Tina that this injustice should cease
From what | have heard and believe Of tie charac.
ter Of the former, Lieut.. Maury, [ am persuaded that
a compliment 10 him, upon the subject, which ex.
Guides all mention Of the important agency of his
friend and co laborer, Lieut.. Brooke, in tue matter,
could afford him no gra;;scaiion. In his work upon
the Physical Geography OF III Seas. aud in the fifth
and sixth editions vi his sailing directions he has done
ampl- justice 10 BroUke's Deep.Sea Sounding Appa-
rstus, go named and described by himself, in the
works referred 10. Aud he hesiiaies not 10 10 affirm
that the revelations made oy Brooke's lead, which
could not have been obtained from any other known
fundamentally, furnished the Only satisfactory and
de.nOnstrative proof vi he pra,t Tic ,bilIty OF this gfea;
submarine telegraph. What ex:use, then, can be
offered for ignoring The name at Lieut.. Brooke, in all
the notices vi the Atlantic Telegraph, viii h have
vet appeared Surely, men Of science in Virginia
are not so ABUNDANT, that We can 6fJrI to dispense
with the scientific reputation Of a ST. gle one of her
scientific sons. Believing that The omission of
Brooks's name has been made, without a knowledge
~ his agency, IN ri alton 10 the Atlantic Telegraph,
| offer these r-rarks ct The purpose TT placing him
in the position which he is entitled 10 occupy in re
gard to ihi- greatest work of The age, thu sub marine
telegraph from America 10 Europe, with which the
name OF Lieut.. John NJ. Brooke must, it Justice be
done him, be indissolubly connected.

the real estate of the city, that no debt, funded or
otherwise. can prees on the finances OF the City sooner

s.aucntly that no immediate action Of the Council in
