The Ages Triumph f!

Every age has its eyent--lts marx OF
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. its years be divided
into decades or centuries. Large tn

even when the pail of prospective defeat
already overshadoHs the limned beauties

Omnlpotent power sweeps away the threat
ening shadow, and 10. Spccess-tbat ange
visitor to the struggling minds peace
is perchcd in exulting majesty upon the
brows Of Men or Nations.
The event of the Nineteenth Century
is just complete, and the triumph of man
genius, aided by Divine Providence, Is
deing heralded to all the nations of the
earth by the voice of that principle which
met with its greatest triumph on Thurs.
day last. The principle itself is made
the herald Of its own greatness. The At
Iantic Telegraph is an existing reality
The bond of international union between
two of the greatest nations Of the earth is
now almost faultLess in its completeness.
CYRUS ". FIELD, the protector of this
mighty scheme, and under whose especial
supervision it is thus brought to a COM
pleti5n 50 grand and successful, is an
American; and thus do we claim for oar
nation the honor and glory Of the event of
the present century. He " is everywhere
blessed as the bcnefactor of the whole
race" is the language by which the peo-
pie of St. Johns, New Brunswick, express
their gratitude. Well may he be proud
of the honors of this day; well may his
countrymen exult at their triumph in him ;
and we'll mag all the nations Of the earth
glorify his genius.

Defeat of Francis 10. blair.

The contest for member of Congress in
the St. Louis District, Missouri, compos-
ed Of the city and county st. Louis, has
resulted in the election Of Barrett, the
Democratic candidate, by plurality Of
six hundred over the Hon. Francis P
Blair, Jr., and Of fourteen hundred over
Breckenridge, the American nominee. A
very large vote, nearly $4,000 was cast
being about 5000 more than the Presi.
dental vote of 1856. This is certainly a
remarkable increase,
We do not hesitate to say that the De.
feat Of Nj. Blair was accomplished in the
Buchanan fashion-by ballot-hox stuffiue
and other illegal voting. It is certainly
a great defeat to the principle he so ably
| and hogorahly represented, the emancipa
tiou sentiment; but it is by no means the
overthrow of that sentiment. The prin
ciple is too grand to be checked for mo
meat by such delays-it will go on in
creasing in strength until the Eystem o.

GLORIOUS NEWSi
ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH GABLE
SUCCESSFULLY LAID
Working Perfectly,

TRNlTy BAY, Thursday, Aug 5, 1853,
Dispatch to the Associated Press, New York.
The Atlantic Telegraph feet sailed from
Queenstown on Saturday, July II, met at
mid-ocean, on Wednesday, the 2Sth,
madc the splice at p. N. on Thursday,
the Z9th, and then separated, the 4 "a,
memnon and Ealorous bound to Valencia,
ireland, and the Niagara and Gorgon for
this place, where they arrived yesterday,
and this morning the end OF the cable
Will be landed.
1t is 1868 nautical, or 1850 statute
miles from the telegraph house at the
head of Valencia Harhor to the telegraph
house, Bay of Bulls, Trinity Bay, and
for more than two-thirds this distance the
water is over two miles in depth. The
cable has been paid out from the Aga
memnon at about the same speed as from
the Niagara. The electrical signals sent
aud received through the whole cable are
perfect.
The machinery for paying out the ca
bic worked in the most satisfactory man
ner, and was not stopped for single mo-
ment from the time the splice vas made
until we arrived here.
Capt. Hudson, Messrs. Everett and
Woodhouse, the engineers, the electric
ians aDd officers of the ships, and in fact
every man on board the Telegraph fest,
has exerted himself to the utmost to
make the expedition successful, and, by
the blessing of Divine Providence, it has
succeeded
After tbs end Of the cable is landed
and connected with the land line of tele-
graph, and the Niagara has discharged
some cargo belonging to the Telegraph
Company, she will 60 to St. Johns for
Goals and then proceed at once to New
York. CYRUS W. FIELD.

HNlnOrt&Fat Events.

A Telegraph Cable has been LAID from
shore to shore, in the bottom Of the At.
Iantic Ocean. The whole Nation is wbi
Iant at the announcement, and booming
cannons are made to thunder the tiding>
in every city Of the Union. This is well
Too much JOY cannot be felt for this great
triumph of science and skill.
But there is another triumph, which re-
fleets more credit on the age than this OF
the ocean telegraph, that receives no at
tention in one half of our union, and by
only portion of the other half. We al
lude to the emancipation 2t'Rgssjoa Serfs
More than tceaty millions Of Russian
slaves have been made free. Why does
not this event receive more attention in
this country? Because it IS a rebuke to
US for the existence of American Slavery
And this rebuke will be felt more and
more, uutil slavery shall be banished from
every foot of American soil.
The N. Y. Christian Inquirer in motto
! ing this great movement thus alludes to
It's influence on Europe and America
"Seeing the chaotic moral condition of
the European governments, Russia comes
forth, "as wise as serpents, and as gentle
as doves" to secure, with one stroke Of
the pen, the moral sceptre of the world,
and thus prepare for future days an as
tendency in the deStiuies of humanity, be-
fore which the proud laudholders, the
bishops and cotton lords of England, and
the successful stock jobbers aud roues of
of France, and the brutal soldiery of Aus
| tria, may still have to bow their heads in
shame and confusion.
The omlnous silence which the press,
including the English press, holds on this
subject of Russian moral ascendency in
Europe is the true exponent of the min
gled sentiments Of surprise, awe, fear and
misgiving, which the benevolent Ukase
of the Czar is so apt to produce in the
grovolling Cabinets of Europe What are
the Reform bills of Lord John Russell.

Napoleon, the evangelical exertions Of

date Of the East, which, by striking at the
root of moustrous national evil, opens a
new vista of mortal sublimity for the land
and race, purifying and ennobling at once
the whole character, social relations, and
human intercourse; calling, as it were,
upon the poor laborer to rise to a higher
degree Of dignity and self-respect, and up
on the strong task-masters, who fatten in
too many instances upon the laborer's toll,
to rise to higher sense of regard due to
others, and to drop little Of the reckless
egotism which rules their conduct.
60 The superficial observer may well be
stupitied by a measure which stands in
suoh palpable contrast to the selfish and
humanity-mocking policy which rules
