THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.

WASHINGTON, August l6, 1858.
To her Majesty, Victoria, queen OF
Great Britain:
The President cordially reciprocatcs the
congratulations of Her Majesty, tic
Queen, on the success of the great inter
national enterprise accomplished by the
science skill and indomitable energy Ct
the two countries. 1t is triumph more
glorious, because far more useful to man
kind, than was ever won by conqueror
on the field of battle. May the Atlantic
Telegraph, under the blessings Of Heaven,
prove to be bond of perpetual peace
and friendship betwecn.the kindred ma
tons, and an instrument destined by Di-
vine Providence, to dffuse Religion, Civil
lization, Liberty and Law throughout the
world. In this view will not all nations
of christendom spontaneously unite in the
declaration that it shall be forever ncu-
trail, and that its communications shall be
held sacred in their places Of destination
even in the midst of hostlft:es.

yALESTIA BAY ria TRINITY BAY,
August l6, 1858.
To The Honorable the President Of the
United States:
Her Majesty desires to congratulate the
President upon the successful completion
of this great international work, in which
the Queen has taken tie deepest interest.
The Queen is convinced that the Presi-
dent will join her in fervently hoping that
the Electric Cable which now connects
Great Britain with the United States, will
nroye an additional link between the ma
tons whose friendship is founded upon
their common interest and reciprocal
esteem.
The Queen has much pleasure III thus
communicating with the President, and
returning to him her best wishes for the
prosperity of the United States.
The River Falls journal. (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1857-1861, 1858-08-25

THERE was q great demonstration ut
st. Paul, when the Queens Message was
received, and the success of the Ocean
Telegraph was fully established. An
eloquent speech was delivered by S. A.
Buncombe Esq, in which he thus alluded
to the Press:
"Never had the Press higher mis-
sion than that to which this achievement
calls it. The finger of the lightning will
yet write in the dark to millions. The
Press must hold its myriad rehectors to
catch the flash and turn it upon the world.
The telegraph will not preach sermons;
but give facts, and they will preach, and
the nations will draw the long and weigh
ty differences in their moral and mai erial
progress. We glorify this era, though
no physical signs indicate its Importance.
For great nature, calm and as equable in
her richest gifts as she is generous-does
not noisily proclaim her benefactions.-
No earthquake shock, no voice of thunder,
no mighty commotion of the mother ele-
ments, herald the dawn of a new era.
The universe passes to its greater cycles
with no grand signals of its new depart
ure. Such arc all the mightiest transit
tons of nature and Of history. The horo-
logue Of time sings no wild alarum thro'
the heavens; yet it beats in silent strokes,
OF casts its solemn shadow on the dial
plate Of the ages, telling those who heed
and observe the signs thereof, that an old
era has passed away, and new and
mightier one has begun"
