HIT ME successful laying of tho trans Atlantic
4 il Telegraph Cable marks a new era in the
1 history Of Human Progress. Henceforth Eu-
rope, Western Asia, and Northern Africa lie
i within an hours distance, from our shores, and
the battle which decides the fateSof a kingdom,
i the capture of a Vienna or Gibralter, the fall
4 Of d dynasty, the triumph Of a uslrpation, the
birth Of IN heir to royalty, the death Of MIC
i holas or Wellington, in any country which
touches the. Mediterranean, the Euxine, the
Black Sea oil. the German Ocean, will be pub
lished in New York the next morning, If not
on the very day Of its occurrence. In q mo-
4 ment, as it were, we. hlve3been thrown into the
Immediate intellectual neighborhood Of the
whole civilized and a large portion of tAcssmi-
i barbarous world. The rise and fall of stocks
in London or Paris will henceforth be reported
cities. The boldest operators iii Wall Street
will refuse to buy or sell until they have read
the quotations OF that days business in the
Royal Es change and at the Boarse, whose
transactions viii have closed an hour or so be-
fore ours can begin, A revolution in Paris, an
! important, vote in -Parliment, an Instruction
in Italy, ~ FIRE in Constantinople, will be dis
cussed around the breakfast tables of New York
q few hours after its occurrence. A mighty
though sill emit Transformation in the conditions
of human existence has just been effected by
the little wire stretching across the oceans bed
| fromthe coast Of ireland to that of British
America and one inevitable result of this must
be an unexampled community Of feeling and
interest among the nations Of Clristendom, and
q consequent desire for. a more intimate ac-
quaintance with each Others doings through
the medium OF the Newspaper Press. It seems
hardly possible that thousands should not
henceforrh read their own journals who have
hitherto been content with an occasional glance
! al those taken By. their neighbors; while many
who have hitherto been content with q Weakly
issue will now require a Semi Weekly or
| Daily. In short, Intelligence, always a, vital
element Of growth, in wisdom, success in bust
ness, or enjoyment in life, has now become
indispensable to all.
II H E NE " Y DIRK TR IB U n E, now
more than seventeen years old, which was the
first journal in the world that appeared regu-
larly on an imperial eight sheet at so low q
price as two cents, and which has attained the
unparalleled aggregate of more than 10000
subscriptions, respectfully solicits its share of
the new patronage which the Metropolitan
Press is henceforth constrained, at a heavy
weekly cost, to deserve. 1t asks especially the
patronage and active favor the Republicans of
those who hate all forms Of oppression, and
desire that every rational being shall be free to
employ his facrlties in such innocent manner
as he shall deem best those who would ex-
tend Liberty and limit Slavery-but it further
appeals likewise to all who look and labor for
the return of National thrift, plenty, prosperi-
ty, through the Prosperity Of American Indus
try by wisely discriminating duties on Imports
all Who favor National Progress through in
ternal developement and mclioration rather
than by external aggression and extension all
who would rather have the National resources
devoted to the construction of a railroad to
the Pacific than to the purchase CT conquest
of Mexico, Nicaraugda or Cuba all who would
retrench radically our present inordinate Fe-
deral expenditures by abolshing or immense
~ reducing the Army and Navy, and expend-
ing tile money thus saved on works Of benef-
cenca which will endure to bless our children
all who profoundly realize that Righteousness
exalteth nation and that no real advantage
can ever accrue to any person or community
from acquisitions or successes achieved by
means which contrayene the laws Of Eternal
Right. The free allotment Of limited portions
ofthe Public Lands to Actual Settlers thereon,
and every hopeful plan intended to diminish
the sum Of human misery fromsdearth Of en-
ployuent or inadequate recompense-eyer
scheme especially that seeks to help the
unfortunate by enabling them and teaching
| them to help themselves command our
earnest sympathy and cooperation. II
Within the present year, lie TRIB NE
has provided itself with new and faster Press
at a cost of $50, 600, merely that some Of our
subscribers may receive their papers IL mail
earlier than they otherwise might do. With
correspondents at the most important points
throughout the civilized world, and a staff of
| writer's chosen from among the best in the
country, we believe that even those who dis
like the politics Of our sheet cocede to it frank
ness in avowing its convictions and ability in
maintaining them. We appeal, then, to those
who believe that an increased circulation of
The Tribune would conduce to the political,
intellectual and moral well being Of the Repub-
lic,, to aid US in efecting such increase. As
we employ no travelling solicitors Of !subscrip-
tons. we ask our present patrons in every To-
cality to speak to their neighbors and friends
in our behalf; we shall gladly receive from any
friend lists Of those who would receive and
read q specimen copy Of one Of our, editions,
and shall be particularly grateful to those who
may send us such names from post Offices at
which We have now no subscribers: Whatever
additions may thus be made to our. circulation
shall be paralleled by increased efforts and
expenditures to make our issues more valuable
and useful than they have hitherto been :
