Atlantic Telegraph.

Atlantic Telegraph.
Our news columns this morning give full and
highly interesting accounts of the enthusiastic
demonstrations made yesterday In the metropo-
lis, and throughout the United States, in honor
of the final confirmation of the success of the
Atlantic telegraph. Ten years have elapsed
since any similar demonstration was made in
this city. That was in honor Of the glorious
successes o. our arms in Mexico. 1t has been

nowned than war; but never, we think, has the
truth of that sentiment been go completely es-

much disappointment felt and expressed at the
meagreuess Of the despatch aud at its omission
Of any thing like sentiment due to the occasion.
That. disappointment, however, is entirely
cleared off by the publication Of the concluding
paragraphs Of the Queens message, which we
published in yesterday afternoons edition Of the
HERALD, and which will be found In our
columns this morning. II leaves no room for any
complaint on that head. It's publication in full
