the work between Europe and Amerie~ (ope million
seyvn hundred and fifty thousand dollars secured
Subsequently,, however. the capital sincrcssed TO
81 500 900 meet the failures Of the various attempts
To lay the cable. During last Congress subsidy Of
for twenty-five years was granted TO
the Atlantic Telegraph Company and the Secretary Of
the Navy also directed to supply two national
sels u assist in lsynx the cable The British Parliament
showed Itself equally liberal Ia compliance with the
instructions of Congress- the Niagara and Susluehanna
we're deppted TO assist p the undertaking but after the
Ant failure last year the latter vessel withdrawn
and TIC Niagara has been therefore, the only Of
national vessels that has shared in the glory Of laying
the cable that unites the two continents.
1t useless recapituIae the numerous failures of
the attempts 10 lay the cable The public had been
sicred but too familiar with them, had almost given up
the project hopeless appeared the task and il is
worthy of general rejoicing that the company and its
officers peseyerod noby against all Obstacles whether
from the the apprehensons OF capitalists When
1t is recolected that If they had succumbed 10 adverse
circumstances the world would in all probability have
been deprived of this great BOOM the magnitude OF the
loss can appreciated for the numerous disasters and
the enormous loss Of capital woald have prevented re-
newal Of the enterprise Indeed there is great reason
fos congratulations and general rejoicing and now that
we are placed within speaking distance of old England
we hope that present sicable relations will be con-
tinued through oil coming years.
