THE REASON WHY THE CABLE WOULD
NOT WORK
New YoRK, August 15.-The following mess
age. from Mr. De Sauty, one OF the assistant
electricians of the Atlantic Telegraph Co, has
been received:
To the Directors Of the Atlantic Telegraph
Trinity Bay, Aug. l4th.-The cause of not
Transmitting and receiving intelligence through
the ca6lels, that the instruments require great
deal of care and adjusting am doing this as
last as possible. You should not look upon the
cable as an ordinary short telegraph line that
can be worked through directly. The cable has
been successfully laid, and Geographic signals
have passed through at pleasure; but we have
encountered many little difficulties which re-
qulre time, and which only many experiments
can entirely overcome. see no reason to
doubt that we shall be able within few DAYS to
surInount all difficulties
will send the earliest intmation of the pro-
6a6le time that the Queens message may be ex.
pected. Signed, De SAuTY
In addition to the above, private dispatch
has been received from n reliable gentleman at
/ St Johns who is in position to obtain the
earliest and most correct unofficial intelligence
concerning the operation, in which he states
that communications from the Office at Valentia
Bay have been received, but from some unex-
planned cause it has been impossible to send
that or any other intelligence to the operators
at Valentia. This state of things often occurs
upon land lines: T. g., one office can receive
correctly from distant operator and yet be un.
able to send a word, and the difficulty is sooner
or later found to be in the battery, it's commu-
nicatiODs or the instruments, and there IS no
reason TO doubt that the present difficulty in
working the cable will, as soon as the electri-
| clans can compare notes, be entirely overcome.
To all Editors, agents, and Operators -
| New YORK, Aug. 16.-We understand that
the Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Com
Pany, have received dispatch from Trinity
| Bay, that the Cable is working both ways and
that the Queens message to the President will
iprobably be received this afternoon.
| Received here at4 o'clock.
