The prairie news. [volume] (Okolona, Miss.) 1851-1875, 1858-11-04

Punch, at the request OF numerous
American friends, dcyotes a portion of
his space to the immortalizing of few
of the addresses transmitted from the
various States to New York in honor of
the Atlantic Gable:
From tie Gore,aor Of Conaecticut.-l
salute ye. The deed is done. A new
hcartstring, forgotten at creation, has
been inserted into the world, and hence
forth its pulses will keep time to the flap
ping of the wings of our almighty and
inextinguisbabe eagle. May the blood
of freedom course along that giant vein
with the rush of Niagara, and sweep
away before it's mightiness the moulder-
ing cerements of antiquated ballucina-
tion.
From Tie Gorernor of Massachusetts,.
The golden harp of civilization and pro-
gress needed one chord ofiron to sustain
her sterner harmonies, and it has been
added by Cyrus w. Friend. May it
sound in glory and vigor until the end of
time, and tive-and-twenty minutes later.
From tie Goccrnor Of Tennessee.
Bile, . thrice noble men Nobler than
Canutc, the French tyrant, Cyrus the
Great has ordered the sea to obey bis
behests, and ocean has obeyed him.
Xerxes, the naughty Roman, caused fet-
ters to be flung into the Archipelagus in
sign of his dominion but Cyrus W. Field
has thrown one fetter acrow the waste of
waters, rot for dominion, but for freedom
O noble men, let us liquor!
From The GoreraW Of Missovri.-
When the heart would speak in presence
Of a miracle, the words are feeble but
our souls rush ont it song to you, broth
ers, in the strains Of our native and inl-
mitable land
London it IL very big,
America is bigger;
DO not let us care u liz
Which cuts the better figure,
Send the current to and fro,
The bottle round the table,
Nothing in creation, no.
Like the Atlantic Cable"
From Me G0rernor Of 1Iabama.-
Hail Columbia happy land Now fast
linked to England's sand Let us iine with
heart and hand Ocean is repealed To her
coral rocks and shelves Lo the Cable
dives and delves Let US drink our noble
selves Likewise Cyrus Field.
From tie Goeernor, o5' OhiO.-lf Eng
land has given us no more towards our
great American sea-triumph, she has
given us thought in the name of her
little vessel which waited upon our great
fleet. The Agamemnon' name is q
corruption of Memnon, the ancient lle-
brew warrior, whose statue, Oh the plains
of Thessalv, sounded out one note when
the morning sun shone upon it. So, now
when thesun ofenlightenment dawns from
America upon occidental darkness, the
electric ray flashes from us 70. the Hi
bernian shore, may the inexpensive
slaves of feudalism for the first time
raise the music note of liberty.
From Tie Goreruor Of Nebroskd-W e
salute YOU. Give old England rope
enough, and she will hang herself, but
not in dispair. No, the aged and efete
island ties herself to the apron-string of
vigorous young America, and locks to
her for support and succor. Shall Eng
land look in vain, my brothercn!
From the Gorerno r9t New Hampshire.

Now he talks tot other side,
| In twenty minutes on'y.
From the Goreraor Of Delaware.-
