THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. 3.

As everything relating to the Atlantic Telegraph
will be read with interest, we publish the follow
lowing extracts, gathered from various sources:
Mr.. Cyrus ". Field, in his despatch TO the
Associated Press; dated'Sunday, August 8, 1888,
notes some curious coincidences respecting the lay
ing of the Submarine Cable. H states that the
end of the Atlantic Cable was landed on the 9Th
of August, 1857, and the other end from the same
vessel on the 5,h of August, 1858. The heavy
shore end laid from Valentia by the Niagara last
year still remains. and was to be splioed on the
main cable, so that both ends Of the cable have
been actuallyiaid by the Niagara. The Telegraph
Fleet sailed from Plymouth on the experimental
trip on the Goth Of May. The cable was broken
at the stern of the Agamemnon on the first attempt
to lay it; on the Goth of juno, and the splicesip
mid-oceah, when the last md successful attempt
was made, on the. 18th of July.
The progress Of the ships after their separation
in mid .ocean, is marked by similar condolences
ola strange and seemingly proyideptal character.
They run nearly the same distance: and pay out
nearly the same length Of the cablesday by day:
and on the Sd of Augustine find each vessel re.
porting the same depth of water-two hundred
fathoms. The calculations with regard to the
length Of cable required arc found to have been
wonderfully exact as the following will show .E

further on That account.
The three great occasions, as already indicated,
on which tie North and South came near a COLI
sion, were in regard to Missouri, California and
Kansas. After the two fret were disposed of, the
antagonism between the two sections was for a
while much mitigated. Political parties we're i'm
mediately formed on o National basis. 1t would
seem, therefore, according to the laws Of parties,
the same result should follow now; and the Black
Republican party, as O distinct political organiza-
ton, should die ont; and instead Of one general
party extending over both sections, and one Sec
tional party limited to only one section, there
should be two general parties. If this does not
take place if the effort to form o National Sec
tional party is continued, it will indicate o more
direct and cmbittered state of the public mind
North, than has hitherto been imagined. 1t would
seem that the North having gained Kansas, should
be satisfied. If not, and the Black Republican
organization is continued, then we must under
stand that q large portion of the Northern people
are determined to wage q perpetual war against
US.
Then, the most interesting question for us is,
what should be our policy In Mr.. Boyce's
opinion, we should so act as to prevent, if possible,
the concentration of the entire power of the North
against US, and secure as much as possible, the
union of the South. Fortunately, the same line
Of policy accomplishes both of these results-a
wise moderation. Let US place ourselves upon the
constitution, and ask for nothing but what is right.
Let us, for instance, avoid oil barren issues, like
the revival of the African Slave Trade, the only
effect of which is to strengthen the hands of our
enemies North. While we are circumspect in re-
gard to public sentiment North, let US endeavor
to steadily build up a sound public sentiment
South-a sentiment that will ask for nothing but
what is right and be content with no less.
When we look North for o political party to act
with, We find that the Democratic party is the
only possible party. The principles protested by
this party on the subject of slavery are in strict
accordance with the constitution. To refuse co.
operation with this party then, would be absurd.
But We should not blindly attach the destinies of
the South to any political party; only as long as
the Democratic party stands up to the principles
they profess, should We stand up to them. There

that we supposed the reason why the feder-

there cheered the speaker so heartily when

white man was because they hoped to en-
slave the poor laboring democrats. 1t
was a comfortable doctrine to the rich Dem
