AMERICA IN MYSTERIES"

Punch mt the request OF numerous American
friends, devotes a portion Of his space to the inn
mortalizing of a few of the addresses transmitted
from the various States to New York in honor Of
the Atlantic Cable:
From the Governor Of Connecticut.
salute We. The deed is done. A new heart
string, forgotten at creation, has been inserted into
the world, and hencefor.h its pulses will keep time
to the Tapping of the wings of our almighty aud
nextinguishable eagle. May the blood of freedom
course along that giant vein with the rush OF Nj.
aeara, and sweep away before its mightiness the
mold ering cerements Of Anticipated hallucination.
From the Governor of Massachusetts,
The golden harp Of civilization and progress need
ed one chord Of iron to sustain Eer sterner ha, mo-
MES, and it has been added by Cyrus W. Field
May it sound in glory and vigor until the end of
time, and five and.twenty minutes later.
From the Governor Of Missouri.
When the heart would speak in presence of a
miracle, the words are feeble but our souls rush
out in song ard we sing to you, mothers, in the
strain of our native and inimitablc land
"London is very big,
America is bigger;
Do not let us care a fig
Which cuts the better figure,
Send the current to and fro,
The bottle round the table,
Nothing in creation, no,
Licks the Atlantic Cable"
From the Governor of Alabama.
Hail Columbia happy land Now fast linked to
England sand Let us jine with heart and band
Ocean is repealed To her coral rocks and shelves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 the Governor of Ohio.
If England has given US no more toward oul
great American sea't:iumph, she has given US
thought in the name of her little vessel which wait
ed upon our gallant feet. The Agamemnon's NAM
is q corruption of Memnon, the ancient Hebrew
warrior, whose statute. on the plains Of Thessaiy
sounded out one note when the morning sun shon,
upon it. So, now when the sun of enlightenment
dawns from America upon occidental! darkness, tn,
electric ray flashes from US to the Hibernian shor
may the inexpensive slaves of feudalism for tn,
first time raise the music note of liberty.
From the Governor of Nebraska.
We salute you. Give old England rope enough
and she will hang herself. but not in despair. No
the aged and efete island ties herself to the apron
string Of vigorous young America, and looks to hel
for support and succOr. Shall England look il
vain, my brothers?
From the Governor of New Hampshire.
Yankee Doodle used to rido
On a little pony,
Now he talks to t'0ther side
In twenty minutes on'y.
From the Governor of Delaware.
The b'hoys must have their amusements, and s
t we've tied England to a long string, and well a.
! her like an almighty great kite. When we're tire,
Of the sport, and want to quit it, we calculate wei
just wind her in, and hang her upon one of tb
monster trees OF our unfathomable forests. Cues
we've utilized the tarnation old caution at last
yes, Stree.
From the Governor of PENNSYLVANIA.
Friend Field, thee have, according to worthy ey
> idence, done a part of thy task, and it is well.
When thee hast fastened both ends Of thy string
T.. and the fxings, and hast greatly and finally re
v duced the price for messages, we may see caus
q for further communication with thee. Meantime
p friend, we wish thee success, but decline to bur
f money in fireworks, melt it in strong liquors, O
$ waste it in wasting time upon idle demonstration
Amen
This is all the room Mr.. Punch can this wee
n spare to these remarkable productions, aud he wi
d only add, that it does not appear to him woader
II full, that under such terrific pressure and strain G
compliment. the unfortunate cable, being of Enc
d lish make and unused to hyperbole, gave way, an
sent down shares from f3l5 to G25O.
