Stili 1 will endeavor, in_a brief way, to give you some faint outline of the fortunes of this enterprise. Tiis nurli 13 years since half-a-dozen gentiemen of this city ouse for four successive evenings, and around i h maps and charts and plans and estimates, to extend o line of telegraph from Nova in Newfoundlund, thence to be carried ncross the ocean. 1t was @ very pretty plan on paper. ‘There wan New-York, and there was 8. John's, only about 1.9 miles apart. It was easy to draw a line from one pofut o the other— making 1o account of the forests and mountains, and swamps and rivers and gulfs that lay in our way. Not one of us had ever ween the country, or hiad any idea”of the obstacles to_ be overcome. We thought we could build the line in o few months. It took two years and a hall. Yet we never anked for help outside our own little eircle. Indeed, 1 fear we ehould not have got it if we had—for few had any faith in our scheme. Every dollar ecame out of our own pockets. Yet I wm proud to say 1o man drew back. No man proved a deserter; those who came first into the work stood by it to the end. Of those six men four are here to-night—Mr. Peter Cooper, Mosea T lor, Marshall O. Roberts, and myself, My brother, Dudiey, is in Burope, and Mr. Chandler White died in 1656, and bis plaeo wa ln“\hfll by Mr. Wilson G. Hunt, who is also here. Mr. Robert W. Lowber was our Secretary, ' To these gentlemen, as my first associates, it i8 but Just that I should pay my first ac knowledgments. ¥rom this statement, you perceive that in the beginning this was wholly an American enterprise. 1t was begun, and for two years and & half was carried_on, sclely by American capital. Our brethren across the sea did not even lnnv what we were dolug away in the torests of Newfoundland. Our lttle com- Lr:’ ruised and expended over a million and a_quarter of dol before an Englishman paid & single pound sterling. Our ouly support outside was in the liberal charter and steady friedship of the Government of Newfoundlaud, for which we were greatly indebted to Mr. E. M. Archibald, then Attorney. General of that colony, and now British Consul in New-¥orl And in preparing for an ocean cable, the first soundings across the Atlautie were made by American officers in Ameri can ships. Our scientific men—Morse, Henry, Bache, and Maury—had taken great interest in the subject. The U. 8 ship Dolphin discovered the Trlqrrmk- Plateau o8 early as 1853 and the U, 8, ship Aretic woun ncross from Newfoundlan fo Treland i 18560, n year before 1. M.s ship Cyclops, under command of Capt. Dayman, went over the same course. This 1 state, not to take sught from the just praise of England, but simply to vindicate the truth of history. [Applause It was not until 1836—ten years thit the euterprise had any existence in England. Tn that Summer I went to London, and there with Mr. John W. Brett, Mr. (mow Sir) Charles Dright and Dr. Whitehouse, organized the Atlantic Tr\fFrupll Company. Science bad begun to contemplate the possibility of such an enterprise ; and the great Farraday cheered us with his lofty enthusinm. Then for the first time was enlisted the sup- ort of English capitalists; aud then the British Government ;m that generous course which it has continued ever since— oftering us ehips to complete soundings aeross the Atlantic, and $0 assist in laying the cable, and an annual subsidy for the transmission of messages. The Expedition of 1857 and the two Expoditions of 185 were joint enterprises, in which the Niagara and the Susquehanna took part with the Agamemnon, the Leopard, on, and the Valorous ; and the officers of both navies worked with generous rivalry for the same great e capital—except oue-quarter, which, as you bave aken by myseli—was subscribed wholly In Great he Directors werv almost all lish baukers and rehants, though among them was oue geatleman whom we are proud to |n‘]‘fu| American, Mr..

It spoke, though only in broken sen! But while it lasted, 10 less than 400 messages Weve #ent across the Atlautic. You all remember the enthusiasm which it ex cited. 1t was & new thing under the sun, and for a few weeks the public went wild over it. Of course, when it stopped. the reaction was very great. Peopie grew dumb’ and suspicious. Some thought it was all a boax, wud many were qute sure that it never worked at all. That kind of odiur we huve bad to endure for eight years—till nqw, 1 trust, we have at last silenced the uubelievers. After the failure of 1858 came our darkest days. When a thing is dead, it is hard to galvanize it into life. 1t is more dif foult 1o revive An old enterprise than 10 start a new one. The freshness and novelty are gone, and the fecling of disappoint went discourages further effort Other causes come invalved in struggling for liie, 3t Jud B0 prises. But in En roject was atill kept alive. The Atlantic Telegraph (ompany kept up ite organization. 1t had u noble dody of directors, who Liund o faith in the enterprise, and looked beyond its present low estate to ultimate suceess. 1 cannot name them all, but 1 must speak of our Chairman—the Right He Jumes Stuart Wartley, a gentleman who did not join us in the hour of victory, but in what seemed the hour of despai after the fatluré of 1855—and who has been u steady sup through all these years.
