THE New York Herald says that the cost Of
transmitting one column of news from England,
by the Atlantic Telegraph Cable, will be two
thousand dollars.
- Fifteen years ago Professor Morse, in q let
ter to the Secretary ofthe Treasury, the Hon. John
C. Spencer gave utterance to a prophecy which
hiss been fulfilled in the complete success of the
Atlantic Telegraph
s'The practical inference from this law is that
n telegraphic communication on the electric mag
netic plan may with certainty be established
across the Atlantic Ocean. Startling as this may
now seem, I am confident the time wilfcome when
this project will be realized"
- WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Cyrus W. Field,
yesterday, telegraphed from st. Johns that pre-
vious to starting, the Directors Of the Atlantic
Telegraph Company unanimously decided that az
ter the cable had been laid, and the Queens and
Presidents message transmitted, the line should
be kept free for several weeks, solely for the use
of electricians, to enable them thoroughly to test
the various modes of telegrsphing, so that the
Directors might decide which was the best and
most rapid method for future use, for it was con-
sidered that after the line was once thrown open
for business. it would be very difficult to obtain it
for experimental purposes. Due notice would be
given when the line is ready for business, and OF
the tariff Of prices.
-NEw TELEGRApHIc SYMBoLs.-The Philadel-
phia ENQUIRER says: Aletter from Washington says
that should the Atlantic Telegraph prove a com.
plete success, it will become necessary for brevity,
economy and privacy in dispatches, both official
and non. official, to invent new alphabets or sym
bols, to be understood between parties on either
side, of the Atlantic. Already plans for official
correspondence have been submitted to the Gov
ernment for examination and adoption. The State
Department now has a cipherfor secret correspon.
dence with agents abroad. It is highly probable,
moreover, that q second line Of cable viii be laid
by the same company, as soon ms the hrst shall be
fully tested, with a reasonable prospect OF yield
ed q fair remuneration for the outlay. This, in
deed, will be essential, in case Of any accident to the
line that has already been laid. That an immense
business will be transacted, especially II the ratos
should be at all reasonable, is beyond oil. doubt.
Indeed, it is not likely that one, or even two cables
will, in the course of few years, prove adequate
for the transmission of the many messag es between
the two worlds. But, at the present moment it
is impossible to speculate with the least. conse-
ouence, as to the extent to which this new appi-
cation of electricity may be carried. .r .
THE New Orleans Delta Of Saturday says:
The announcement of the successful laying Of
American portion of the Atlantic Cable, by" the
United States steam frigate Niagara, which was
delivered at the Office Of the n. =. and NJ O.
Southern Line at 1880 p. m. yesterday was. re-
ceived by our telegraph'news reporter here. at II.
so a. m. being forty minutes ahead Of time. II
the Trans. Atlantic Line shows On equal degree Of
promptness with the Southern Line, q. dispatch
left at the London Office at Q p. m, would reach ps
before 5 o'clock the same eyening-or over four
hours ahead of time .
- The Charleston Mercury in describing the
cable says: ''The outside consists Of eighteen
strands Of seven-inch copper wire, next are six
Of yarn, then three coats Of gutta percha,
and in the centre the seven telegraphic wires. Its
weight is 1860 lbs. to the mile, and it's fexibily is
so great thsti it con be tied around a.post without

comparatively unknown, is about to assume vast
Importance, as the European terminus Of the At

the island and town we copy from LipPincott's
Gazetteer:

THE Columbia Guardian, Of the 18th inst,
says:
"All doubt now about telegraphlc communica-
between the Old and New Worlds is now re-
moved. We have the qualification to print this
morning the Queens Message to President Buch-
anan, also one from the Directors of the Atlantic
Telegraph Company in Great Britain to the Direc-
tors on this side. 1t is the greatest achievement
of science the world ever sawi :
