New Years Day, 1S69-The New Age Of
American PROGRESS.

New Years Day, 1S69-The New Age of
American Progress.
Yes. the old year is gone, and the new year,
with the ringing Of bells from hundred thou
sand turrets around the circuit of the earth. has
been or viii be this day ushered n Great and
weghty events have been added to the annals
OF mankind in the brief but crowded interval
from the last to the present New Year morn
Ing. Under the appointed laws of the universe
our glorious though somewhat shaky little
planet, with her attendant handmaiden. pur-
sues her steady course in swinging round her
circle;' but the world of the human family,
under the new propelling forces of steam and
lightning. moves onward under continually
increasing momentum.
just entering upon a new age of American
progress, we stand looking out upon the
boundless prospect before us, as stood the
Spanish discoverer, Balboa, in exulting
wonder, when first confronted by the vast
expanse Of the Pacific Ocean. What is our
manifest destiny? With General Grant
secured as our incoming President we all feel
assured Of better times. It must be so.
Southern reconstruction will be settled. and
negro suffrage and the national finances,
debt bonds, banks and taxes, and on good
foundation. We may say that we know this;
but we do not know what strange things may
turn up in the unearthing Of the whiskey
frauds and whiskey rings, or among the
wrangling factions In Congress, nor what
vii be the solution Of the Alabama
claims, the Chinese question, the Cuba
question, the Mexican question, Mormon
polygamy or women's rights. Nor do we
know when our new Court House viii
be finished, or when our new Post Office will
be commenced, nor what will be the dividends
Or distribution OF our Corporation rings and
jobs during the year before us. We know
enough, however, TO predict for this country
and this imperial city a future of progress,
prosperity and grandeur utterly cclipsing the
wildes, visions Of imperial Rome.
As the contcmporaneous index for the last
thirty odd years Of the growth and develop
ment Of this metropolis we turn to the NEW
lonK HERALD. Time was when it was q
great achievement to secure, few hours in
advance of our rivals, the latest news from
Europe via Boston by pony express, or fro m
Mexico by horse power. Time was when the
expenses Of our Abyssinian correspondence Of
last year would have absorbed our yearly In
come. About that time the expenditures Of
the national government were not much In ex-
cess Of the city expenses and wastagcs now
under the control OF Tammany Hall, and about
two-thirds less than the present annual steal
ings Of the whiskey rings. In General Jack
sons time the country was turned upside down
and inside out and involved In general bank
r,,picy from his financial pet bank policy oi

The LAST DAY OF THE YEAR AND THE
WEATHER.-So much depends upon the weather
on New Years Day that yesterday the lowering
aspect Of the skies provoked considerable dis
cussion. 1t was feared that the prospect was
threateningly dubious, and housekeepers hardly
knew which most to dread, plentiful lack of
visitors or sad story of soiled carpets. I'm
certain, however, as the prospect was yester-
day evening, all awake this morning to bright
hope for better things, political, financial and
social. Rain or shine, snow or thaw, let us
join in the congratulations and the cheerful
anticipations Of the season. If the Old Year
went out gloomily let the New Year be heartily
welcomed. A happy New Year to us all

THE EASTERN QUEsTIoN-THR CONFERENCE
PosTPoNED.-Cable dispatches which wa
print this morning show that the ef.1fmness Of
Turkey has been crrcwned with unexpected
success. Greece has been compelled to adopt
pacinc policy. The insurrectionary spirit
mas seen effectually put down in Crete The
Conference, which was to hold its first session
in Paris OH the I'd of January, has, in conse-
quence, been indefinitely postponed. The
pluck which Turkey has manifested at this
time cannot be too highly praised. A little
more encouragement to the forces of modern
civilization and hearty submission to the
new conditions which these forces generate,
and the so-called sick man has healthful and
promising career before him. Not the least
important of the various announcements is that
which informs us that to-day the Emperor
Napoleon, in his address to the foreign
ambassadors, will point to the negotiations on
the Eastern question as a fresh pledge of the
pacific policy now in general favor throughout
Europe

new rinse Oh the CuDa hevOtuytObs
While the government in Havana assidu-
ously represses all official news from the scene
of the insurgent movements in Cuba, advices
gather from all sides which indicate the ina
bility of either side to triumph over its oppo-
nent. 1t is now nearly three months since
insurrection was first proclaimed at Yara, and
while the insurgents have in that time
obtained control of nearly one half Of the ter
rtory of the island, they have, from their want
of arms and military organization, been unable
to obtain possession of a single fortified place
or port. On the other hand, the government
has found itself cooped up in the large towns
and harbor Notifications wherever the rcvo-
luton has shown its head, and the main body
of its forces is to-day occupied in an attempt
to reopen communication between the port of
Nuevitas and the important city Of Puerto
Principe.
This weakness, common to both parties in
the contest has been the cause of the delay
which has been witnessed in the revolution,
and is to-day the motive which is inducing
gradual change In the character Of the move
ment. Our advices from the central depart
ment state that large numbers of the slaves
and contracted coolies are constantly leaving
the plantations and presenting themselves to
the authorities. Not holding possession Of the
country the government has no resource but
10 enroll these, and, in stress of reinforce
ments to make soldiers Of them. While this
is passing at General valmaseda's leadquar-
ters the insurgent leaders are reported as hold
ing conference within fifty miles of him, at
Sibanicd, to take into consideration the ques-
ton of the slaves As all or der on the planta-
tions is fast slipping away they think 1t better
to take the bull by the horns at once and it is
already whispered that emancipation will be
decreed. Private advices received from
highly respectable parties in Havana confirm
these views and state that the excitement in
the public mind is very great there.
Another indication Of the changing charac-
ter of the contest will be found in our
columns to-day, in communication from the
secretary OF new secret organization in
Havana styled the 'Laborantes," ant trans
lation OF its first address to the working
classes" Although the note Of the secretary
states that the body has in its ranks the most
influential and wealthy classes, their proclama-
tion is undoubtedly addressed to the slaves,
from whom they expect to draw their fighting
material. II is incendiary in Its character
and cannot fail to produce still greater excite
ment among the negroes and coolies. II is n
gathering OF materials for the Burning to
which the torch may or may not be applied
on the arrival Of General Dulce, now expected
to arrive from Spain, with the new programme
of government for the colonies Of 0iba and
Porto Rico. The crisis which awaits his
arrival is now SO near at hand that s,fmise on
our present data is uncalled for.

The HERALD. like the city and the republic,
has gone through all these vicissitudes,
steadily onward and upward-Excclsior-
and onward and upward is still our motto
The independent press, coming In with steam
ships, soon undermined the stupid old party
hack newspaper system Of the Albany Re-
gency and the Washington Kitchen Cabinet.
And now the ielegraph-which, twenty five
years ago, Cave Johnson, . leading member
in Congress, coupled with mesmerism as q
humbug-has made the independent press
'sthe power behind the throne, greater than
the throne ITSELF in both hemispheres. Our
news and editorial columns are from day to
day the past days history Of the world, with

are an instructive ''map Of busy life," more
interesting than the daintiest romance. Our
readers know this morning what was done
yesterday In London, Berlin, Paris, Madrid
and Vienna on the one hand. and in Havana,
New Orleans and San Francisco on the other.
year or two hence, with The globe belted
by the telegraph, we shall get the news from
China half day In advance Of the day itself.
This engine-the telegraph-is too powerful
for any private monopoly or associated mo-
nopolies of spectators. With us. as in Europe,
it must be taken under the control Of the gov
ernment. Otherwise few telegraph monopo-
lies, on their own terms, will rule the press,
the money market, the banks, the merchants,
and the general business of the whole country.
We look for the indicated reform during the
year before us as we look for many other good
things under the new dispensation now close
at hand.
Andy johnson may retire to the mountains
of Tennessee; Seymour may spend the evening
of his days in fishing and hunting; General
Blair may be forgotten, save as lieutenant
of Sherman, in his "great march to the sea !
the Pacific railroad may create cities in the
desert of Utah rivalling Baalbec and Palmyra |;
our god Terminus may be planted on the one
hand among the icebergs Of the Arctic Circle,
and on the other at the isthmus Of Darien |;
the Napoleon dynasty may disappear, and o
republic may take its place; one generation
may succeed another; New York city may ex-
pand to population Of five millions; but still
there is no reason why an Independent press,
like the HERALD, which has grown with the
citys growth and strengthened with its
strength, should not continue to be the favorite
journal of its people and of the country at
large. Aiming at this high distinction, and
keeping in view the progressive agencies and
spirit of the age, we have the honor to wish
our grand army of intelligent readers in this
city, the State and the Union, and in all the
four continents and the islands Of the sea, one
and all, "a happy New Year"

and put the whole machinery Of the govern
ment into the hands Of private companies. But
the telegraph would necessarily require cx-
perts to operate II. Politicians are not tele-
graph operators, as q general thing, and hence
the telegraph department would be less liable
to partisan control than any other In the gov
ernment. Besides, the objection to which we
have alluded, II well founded, could readily
be met by provision against the removal Of
any telegraph operator except for incompe-
tcncy or dishonesty. The operators them
selves, who feel more than any other class the
grinding and exacting character of the exist
ing monopoly, If left to express their real senti-
ments, would petition In body for the pro-
posed change.
The main point made by the President Of the
Western Union was that IL would be an act of
injustice to the existing telegraph companies "
the government should, at this late day, enter
upon the business. This Is an entire fallacy.
The charters have been the free gin OF the
people to private companies, who have enjoyed
them for years and made enormous fortunes
ont OF them. No such exclusive privileges
could be made perpetual without great injus-
tce and injury to the people. Patents granted
TO men Of genius and science for the greatest
inventions in the world are only allowed 10
exist for q limited period, and then revert 10
the government. The Western Union corpo-
ration has enjoyed Its charter longer than q
great inventor can enjoy his pateut, and the
