The telegraph cable has been sue

gratitude your services in the. Senate
of the United States in the win ter Of
1857, and recollect with pleasure the
speech you made in favor of the Tele-

reason to regret what you have done

MR.. sEwARD's RESPONSE.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 90.
Cyrus W. Field, Hearts Content:
Acknowledgements and Congratula-
tions. IF the Atlantic Gable had not
failed in 1858, the European States
would not have been led, in 1861, into
the great error of supposing that the
civil war in America could either per-
petuate African slavery or divide this
Republic. Your great achievement
constitutes, 1 trust, an effective treaty
of international neutrality and non
intervention. VIM. Ill. SEWARD.
