weight of doubt, hope and anxiety steering hi,
little fleet over uaknown waters to land which
his calculations tell him must exist, but which
all mankind deny, com es this new enterprise Of
the telegraph cable. MAJ with his mighty mind,
mighty will and mighty means, has added an
other current to the ocean-an Hnder-fide Of

strations.let us shout, let us march through the
streets, illuminate our houses, and attach to each
house flag, If 1t is only an old red petticoat.
