ENTERPRISE VERSUS MEANNEss.-Tn advance,
as usual, of cur contemporaries, we published
few days ago the important despatch from
General Beauregard seized by General Mitchell
at Huntsville, Alabama. All Of the other jour
nails copied that despatch from our columns;
but none of them gave US credit for it, and two
or three were mean enough to assert that II was
not genuine. Now all the Western papers have
received the same despatch from their report
ers at Huntsville, and its authenticity is 80 un-
doubted that the very New York journals
which at first declared il a forgery, because our
enterprise surpassed their own. are now insert
ing IL in their bogus correspondence. This is,
we think, one Of the clcarcst cases on record Of
our enterprise versus the mesnuess Of our con;
temporaries

MARROW ESCAPE or THE DESTRUCTION OF THE
BRITISH FIEET.-British statesmen cannot but
feel what . narrow escape their navy has had
from destruction by the iron-clad gunboats Of
America. By their own comments on the naval
battle at Hampton Roads they admit it. Had
war broken out in consequence of the capture
of Mason and Slidell on board the Trent, Of
course British feet would have been sent to
our ports, and every ship Of it would have been
sunk or put to flight. As an evidence of the
tardiness Of the British mind to seize an idea-
fact which is admitted by Mr.. Osborne, who
says:-"The great men Of England arc very
slow to be convinced'-we may refer to the
fact that many millions have been expended on
wooden war vessels within the last year, since
iron-plated ships were proved by experiment
if not in actual war, to have rendered them Of
no value to the government. In the same way
SIS, ,000, 900 have been expended on Armstrong
rfed guns; and yet it is now said that, for naval
purposes they are inferior to the old smooth
bore sixty -eight-pounder at the short range al
which naval actions usually take place. II
was stated, indeed, in Parliament, both by Mr.
Osborne and Lord Palmerston, that those guns
at short range can penetrate the iron armor.
and that this is now the only reliance of Eng.
land against it. But an iron-clad vessel, with
rifed shells, might not be 80 accommodating as
to allow a wooden ship to get SO close to her;
and even if sixty-eightpounder did penetrate
the iron, it could only be above the water line.
and could do very little damage. 1t is clear
enough that the British feet has had lucky

The GREAT OCEAN TELEaRAPH.-We publisi
this morning an interesting article on th,
present condition and prospects Of this grea.
enterprise, embracing an illustrated description
of the improvements made during the last fom
years in submarine cables, az exhibited in the
one which it is now proposed to submerge be
tween Ireland and Newfoundland, the termin
of the Atlantic Telegraph. From the facts pre-
sented twill be seen that the company have
received strong assurances Of aid from the
governments Of the United States and Great
Britain, and that this aid will be contribuI
ted in the form of a guaranteed interest Of four
per cent for period Of at least thirty years.
The capital which it is proposed to raise for a
renewal Of the undertaking Is seven hundred
thousand pounds sterling, or three and half
millions Of dollars; and this, it is presumed.
there would be no difficulty in obtaining on
the security afforded by the guarantee of the
two governments.
Previous to the Atlantic Telegraph expedi.
ton Of August, 1858, which ended in the
submersion Of the cable, there were
three problems to be solved before its ultimate
success could be regarded a. certain. The first
was the practicability Of laying GABLE across
vast tract Of water that measured from land
to land in Its narrowest practicable part NO
less than sixteen hundred and forty nautical
miles; the second was the manufacture of q
cable Of the required length, the conductor Of
which should be so perfectly insulated that its
covering would be entirely impervious to sea
water; and the third was to establish the pos
sibility of sending the electric current through
a conductor Of such great length.
All of these three problems, which were to
decide the final success of the enterprise, were
solved in the most satisfactory manner. The
mechanical difficulties in the way of submerg.
ing the cable were successfully overcome; the
material used in its manufacture as an insu.
lator secured the second important desideratum;
and the transmission of several messages through
the cable when laid, although it had been
injured before it was placed on board the YES
sells from which it was to be submerged set
tied the third point. Only one more problem
remains-the commercial success of the un.
dertaking. But the fact that there are no less
telegraph lines in Europe and America to
which tho Atlantic cable would be feeder
conclusively disposes of this last difficulty.
Should the governments Of the United States
and Great Britain agree, as there Is every rea-
son to believe they will, to guarantee the re-
quired interest on the specified capital, alargs
part Of the risk of laying the cable will be as
sumed by the manufacturers. In conclusion.
we may say that there Is good reason to war
rant the belief that such cable as we have
described will be laid some time during the
summer Of 1868.

change Of policy may be found in the reply
Of the Secretary of War to the resolution
