i The successful laying If the transact
Ilantie Teegraphic Cable marks new era
in the history Of Human Pregress.-
EIenceforth. Europe, Western Asia and
Northern Africa lie within an hours dis
lance from our shores, and the battle
which decides the fate of kingdom, the
j capture of Vienna or Gibraltar, the fall
/. of dynasty, the triumph Of usrupation
the birth Of an heir to royalty, the death,
Of Nicholas or Wellington, in any coun-
ltry which touches the Mediterranean, the
the Euxine, the Black Sc or the German
Ocean, will be published in New-York the
next morning, if not on the very day OF It's
occurrence. In a moment, as 1t were, we
have been thrown into the immediate In
tellectual neighborhood of the whole civil
lized and large portion eff the senli-bar-
lbarods world. The rise and fall of stocks
lin London or Paris will henceforh bs re-
ported from day to day in the journals OF
our sea- board cities. The boldest opera
Itors in Wall-street will refuse to buy or
sell until the, have read the quotations
Of that days b siness on the Royal Elk
change and at the Bonrse, whose transac
lions will have closed an hour or so before
ours can begin. A revolution in Paris, an
i important vote in Parliament, an insuyrec-
ton in Italy, a fire in Constantnople, will
tbe discussed around tfa breakfast-tables
lin New ork few hours after its occur-
renee A mighty though silent transfer
j nation in the Conditions of human exist
ence has just been effected by the little
A wire stretching across the oceans bed from
the coas: of Ireland TO British America,
and one inevitible result Of this must be
an unexampled community of feeling and
interest among the nations in Christendom,
and a consequent desire for a more init
mate acquaintance with each others do
ings through the medium of the Newspa
!, per Press 1t seems hardly possible that
Thousands should not henceforth regularly
read their own journals, who have hitherto
! been content with an occasional glance Al
RI those taken by their neighbors; while
| many who have hitherto been content with
Weekly issue will now require Semi
Weekly or daily. In short, Intelligence,
!. ALWAYS vital element of growth IN WIS

! life, has now become indispensable to
j all.
-fHE NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE, now more
than seventeen years old, which was the
first journal in the world thai appeared
regularly on an imperial eight-pa sheet
at so low price as two cents, and which
has attained the unparalleled aggregate OF
: more than 100000 subscriptions, respect
fully so icts its share of the new patronage
which the Metropolitan Press is hence
. forth constrained, at heavy weekly cost,
to deserve. 1t asks especially the patron
age and active favor of REpuBLToANs-ot
those who hate all forms Of oppression,
and desire every rational being shall be
] free to employ his faculties in such limo
: cent manner as he shall deem best-ol
those who would extend Liberty and limit
slsvery-but it further appeals likewise
to all who look and labor for the return o.
National thrift, plenty, prosperity, through
: the Protection of American Industry bv
wisely discriminating duties on Imports
all who favor National Progress through
/, internal development and moderation ra-
]. ther than by external aggression and ex
tension-all who would rather have the
National resources devoted to the construc-
ton of Railroad to the Pacific than to
the purchase or conquest of Mexico, Me
aragua or Cuba-all who would retrench
radically our present inordinate Federal
expenditures by abolishing or immensely
reducing the Army and Navy, and ex-
pending the money thus saved on works Of
benehcence which will endure to bless cur
chillren-al who profoundly realize that
RIGHTEOUSNESS exaIteth l-ation," and
that no real advantage can ever accrue to
any person or community from acquisitions
, or successes achieved by means which con-
travene the laws of Eternal Right. The
free allotment of limited portions of the
Public Lands to Actual Settlers thereon,
and every hopeful plan intended to dimin-
ish the sum Of human misery from dearth
of employment Or inadequate recompense
every scheme especially that seeks to
help the unfortunate by enabling and
teaching them to help themselves-must
command our earnest sympathy and CO
operation.
! Within the present year The TRIBUNE
has provided itself with new and faster
Press at coat of $4,000 merely that
some of our subscribers may receive their
papers mail earlier than they otherwise
might do. With correspondents at the
most important points throughout the
civilized world, and a staff of riters cho-
sen from among the best in the coun-
try, we believe that even those who
dislike the politics of our sheet concede to
it frankuess in avowing its convictions and
ability in maintaining them. We appeal,
then to those who believe that an in creased
circulation Of THE TRIBUNE wonld conduce
to the political. intellectual aud moralwelI-
being of the Republic, to aid US in effect
ling such increase. As we employ no trav-
cling solicitors Of subscriptions, we ask our
present patrons in every locality to speak
10 their neighbors and friends in our be-
