We are glad TO be able to announce that
the Atlantic cable has proved success, and
that we can now have daily intercourse with
the people beyond the Great Ocean. OF
this great event the Tribune of Monday dis
courses as follows
a hope often deferred, and by many al
most abandoned, has ut length been fulfilled
The cable across the Atlantic, connecting the
Old World and the New, is an accomplish
ed fact and we are able to publish this
morning European news only three days
old. The intelligence of this great success
will be received with feelings of the most
lively joy by the people of this country. 1t
is another grand step in the onward march
Of civilization; for this cable will unques-
tionably prove II powerful agency in promo
ting international comfy, and in iurthering
the ends of IA healthy commercial intecourse.
Every friend of progress, of peace, of hui
nalAty. will rejoice that what has been so
long a dream is now in II fair way of becom-
ing Il reality. From the shores of the north
western portion of this continent the tele-
graphic wire is being carried into Russia:
the world will soon be girdled with this in
stl1lmcnt for the transmission of thought
with the lightning's speed; and thus 'the
ends of the earth will be brought together"

The success of this grand undertaking will
constitute an epoch in the worlds history of
which the record of the enterprise will form
one of the most dramatic pages. Future gen
erations will read with intense interest of the
steps by which success was ultimately gain
ed. How the many obstacles that presen-
ted themselves were, by means of Il steady
perseverance and noble courage, eventu-
ally overcome; how repeated failures, in
stead of disheartening, only induced re-
doubled eXertons TO accomplish the end in
view; how scientific enthusiasm and practi
cal skill combined to sustasn effort and give
1t the greatest possible efficiency; how the
Improvements in naval architecture, of
which the construction of the Great Eastern
is the proudest trophy prepared the way for
the carrying ont of the entcrprisc-all these
and other equally interesting points, will
continue to attract attention MS long as the
human family take an interest in the sue
cessive steps by which the world advanced
TO that high state of civilization toward
which it is now rapidly moving. ssPeace
hath its Victories" and the success ofthe At
lantic Cable will ever be regarded ms one of
the most glorious of them.
The originators andspromoters of this en-
terprise have earned the gratitude of the
world for their noble efforts in the work.
They deserve all honor, and more substan-
tial rewards, it is to be hoped, will not be
wanting for them. The American people
will reflect with satisfaction and pride upon
the prominent part taken in the enterprise
throughout by Mr.. Cyrus w. Field II is
hardly too much TO say that but for his per-
seycring efforts the cable might still have
been among things possible.
a fact more emphatic than any comment,
is that to-day we publish nc,cs from Europe
10 the eth Of July In less than a week we
expect to print every morning the impor-
tant European news of the day before. II is
impossible to realize at once ihct Of such
tremendous significance
