Success Of the Atlantic Cable.

Success Of the Atlantic Cable.
| 1t is with feelings of no ordinary satisfaction
that We are this week enabled to announce the
fact of the complete success of the Atlantic Ca
BILE project, and to print news from London up
to the 2Sth ult. The cable feet reached
Hearts Content on Friday morning last, and
on Sabbath morning news of that fact and that
the Atlantic cable was in working order was
received in Montpelier. Our people did not
go wild with enthusiasm over the intelligence,
bscause they remembered that once before an
Atlantic cable was successfully laid, and mes
sages transmitted through it that the ire
pressible De Sauty pronounced it all right; "
and that then the cable, SO far as the transmits
sion of news was concerned, came to naught.
We have faith to believe that no such I'm
timely fate awaits the present cable, and think
it will prove all we can reasonably hope for it.
Yet we wait the ordeal of time and further trials
with some anxiety.
Space will not allow US this week to dwell at
great length upon the probable advantages and
results to be realised from this new bond OF
uuion between this country and o her nations, and
We shall content ourself with giving such dis
patches relative to and received through it, as
will be of most interest to the general reader. 1t
| is pleasant fact to note that the first direct
| dispatch received by it, announces peace in Eu-
rope, and we trust this is only presage of
entire "good will to man " throughout the
woodland an intimation O f that T" good time
coming" when men shall learn war no more.
