ADDRESS OF CAPTAIN CELS0 CESAR MORENO, IJ'ore the Commit tie on Eortijn Affairs of t!ie House of R'j'resmlativts, in Behalf of the American and Asiatic Tchyrayh Company; Friday, Aay the and otfre the Srnoe, Tuesday, May the 20 A, lb74. Mr. Chairman" and Gentlemen or the Committee: The Government and people of the United Statea full; appreciate the need and Ligh importance of n 'juk-Ic and direct communication between tbc Pacific Coasts of America and tboee of Asia, and the inhabitants of California, who are the inoet interested, and therefore warmly desire and favor the idea of a Sub-Pacific Cable, which will be the forerunner of many other enterprises, and all combined will contribute to make Siaii Francisco the clearing-boufee, and the intermediary point between Eastern Asia, the United States, and Western Europe. According to the good order of things, the time and distance at sea regulates the market on land, bo anything starting from our western sea coasts reaches the land where it is sun-rising far eooner than from any other part of Europe. All this induces the citizens of California and Oregon to firmly beheve that China and Japan, could be made for the Americans the same Held of com merce, enterprise and wealth, that the East Indies have been to the English. They arc not to be conquered by arms, but by the peaceful inventions of the age steamers, railways, aud telegraphs. At present the Americans are dependent upon English enterprise for conveying their submarine messages from the United States to China and Japan and rice versa. K'ow, the gentlemen at the head of the Ameri can and Asiatic Telegraph Company, whose names, with mine, are printed in the bill, whose respec tability is proverbial in California, and whoee collective wealth is far superior to the amount of money required to complete this enterprise, have entrusted to me the high honor to come and speak before you, and assure you that they design to put an end to this humiliating Btate of things and f repare a new way, by laying a cable from our 'acific Coasts across the Pacific Ocean, via the Sandwich or Aleutian Islands, to Japan, Corea, and China; shortening the distances, greatly re ducing prices, and place it under the control of Americans, giving at all times to their own gov ernment the priority over all other nations,, cor porations, or individuals; it asks from Congress no subsidy or privileges, as it is stated in the bill, provided that the Secretary ol the Navy be di rected to detail, for the surveys and soundings, on and along that portion of the Pacific coasts in America and Asia, where it may be determined to establish said submarine cable, one or more steam vessels to afford such assistance as may be calculated to promote the success of the enterprise. Now, this proposition, instead of being a burden to the Government, will prove beneficial, as all vessels last longer at sea than laying idle at the navy yards, while the work assigned will contrib ute in extending the knowledge of our officers in the science and practice of hydrography. . To that effect, the United States steamer Tuscarora has already completed the sounding from our Pa cific coaBts, San Diego, California, to Yokohama, (Japan,) and found that the deepest points of the waters 3,287, 3,232, and 3,001) lathoms are nearer to the shores of Asia than those of America. Now, Mr. Chairman, the Pacific Cable will be the pivot upon which will turn, in the near fu ture our supremacy in Japan and China. It would at once put us in immediate communication with the far Ea6t; give a wonderful impulse to our commerce there ; place us in the most favora ble position for controlling trfc trade; add pres tige and influence to our name already promi nent in those Eastern regions awaken sympathy everywhere, and inspire confidence and security to governments and people, the idea that they are connected by cable with a powerful and friendly nation. Look at the bright future before this company ! Japan, the most enlightened of the nations of Asia, has begun the construction of railroads and telegraphs, and we Americans will help to con tinue and go-ahead with this work. China with a population of 400,000,000, and 3,500,000 of square miles of territory, docs not possess one mile of railways or telegraph. There is every probability that as soon as this cable shall reach the shores of China, grants will be obtained from the Chinese government to enable the company to reach all the principal cities of that vast Empire. Whoevcf builds the telegraph, will build the railroads. Thus you see what an immense Held opens for American enterprise, industry, and en ergy. This is the only way to successfully com pete with the English, who now have a paramount f. a .1 -ta. a M . 1 . innuence auu supremacy in mat pare 01 tne wona. We should try to have on land the advantages they have at sea ; to have them tributary to us for the pending of messages, importing and ex porting in and out of the interior of the country, as we are to them in regard to the sea ; watching every opportunity to supplant them in the end. ne foreign trade ot Japanese and Chinese seaports opened to foreign traffic, amounts nearly . . ai ,1 .1 : i j i w , to uue luuucuuu uuu mue liuuureu jiinuon Ol dol lars ($1,900,000,000), but, great as it is. it is insignificant when compared to the internal com merce of the two whole Empires, that could be made tributary to the ramifications and connec tions of our cables or lines of telegraph and rail roads. The numerous foreign merchants, doine business there, would at once make free U6e of telecrranhic facilities, and the Chinese and .Tartan- ese, although they are not inventors, are certainly skillful and patient imitators, and keenly alive to mercantile enterprises. They will not fail to imitate. I have been many years in China, and all over the East, and havo had ample opportunity of knowing that among the Chinese and other Asiatics there does not exist nny friendship for the English : thev onlv fear them. Thft rnm- pul6ory opium and tbc international gunboat law. J practiced by the English, has produced an un avorable impression in China and the rest of Asia. It is the first forever. The English have utterly failed, and the Americans have wonder fully succeeded. The Cbineso and Japanese feel a warm irienusmp lor America and tho Ameri cans. They are willing to accord more privileges uiu latiiiiivo 10 us uuu uuy utuer nation. LiOOK at the success of General l Ward, of Salem. Massachusetts, and the Honorable A. Durlinsiame. whom I met in Pekin, the honored representative of our country. Are they not good proofs of this friendship; inducements enough to make us turn our thoughts toward China, Japan, Corea and Siam, and look at the Pacific Ocean as tho only one now left to us for the revival of our naviga tion and commerce? The Pacific cable will be the foundation stone of this commercial edifice. Let us retain all the advantages possible of the friendship of these Orientals, and of the magic power of this wonderful Italo-American inven tion, the electric telegraph. Suppose, Mr. Chairman, if any communication of a secret need to be sent to our ministers or admirals in the East, or our relations in that quarter become complicated, what reliance could we place in the transmiteion of our Government messages through cables owned by other nations and especially so, when it is remembered that these cables are all controlled by our English rival? . Our secrets would he a mockery, and our plans defeated ! , Alter enumerating all these facts and supposi tions as well as advantages, and attentively look ing at our geographical position, not a true American can deny that the Pacific cable is an imnerious necessity. It is a f?i?antic work in X " W O D which patriotism ought to occupy a higher place i than the hope ot grana pecuniary returns. In deed, it should stir the pride of every American citizen, and animate them with the noble desire to witness the completion of the great pathway toward the East, which had its foundation in the daring and skill that overcame the obstacles of the Rocky Mountains. Gentlemen, do not leave this work unfinished and incomplete! Crown its summit with this electric capstone, and help with your wisdom, patriotism, aid power to establish tho last line needed for embracing the entire circumference of the globe with the telegraphic wires! Again, gentlemen, in the name of the company, I ask from you, and through you, the sanction from Congress to lay this cable. We have lull confi dence that we can furnish the capital necossary for this national enterprise; we have every reason to believe that the Chinese and Japanese will vie with Americans in buying the shares, ns soon as thy find out that tlie work of the foreigners, instead of impaling the current of the Eimy Shun (jrood fortune) ill help it, and in a few minutes tby can communicate a message, where before, weeks and months were required ; and as the postal system docs not exist m China, they arc obliged to send a footman on their own account, at a larg" expense of time and money. Everyone, frrm the highest mandarin to the lowest eliOpkevi.T, will lay aside their supersti tions and prejudices, aud will make use of the telegraph, and travel by railway, as they have done by tearucrs. At tbc present day nearly two-thirdi ol the steamers in China waters are owned by the Chinese. In proof ol this, we only need to point to the liberal cse that the Chinese in California make of the wires, railroad, and the eteamboat3. There is no lack of money in China and Japan. I have teen with my own eyes, vast sums of money, both in gold and silver, hoarded for years without use, waiting for invest ment. Narly all the Mexican and Spanish pillar dollars, as well as the East India rupees and a great deal of gold of every nation, have found their way into China and Japan the lor.g closed treasury-fwuse of the world. By means of the modern Innovations, of which the telegraph is foremost, we can withdraw them. Commerce has tried ; but has not succeeded, as there exist the traditional custom of exchanging ; the China- man lor wnatever ne Duys irom loreignere, ne gives in return prodacts of Lis native soil, if tlie balance is against us foreigners lie wants our money ; but the plan 1 propose will turn the tide. The Chinaman who would have to go from one town to another, could not go to the station and procure passage-ticket by ouermg in payment a few pounds of tea, or a few pounds of eilk, but have to bring his silver or gold. In the same manner he must do for sending a telegraphic message, or taking rjassage on board ot steam boats ; consequently the countless millions that for centuries have gone and remained in posses sion of the Chinese and Japanese, will hereafter take their wav across the Pacific to the United State. . Mr.. Chairman, grand opportunities present themselves to a man, as well as to a generation, seldom more than once in their life-time; so, I cannot believe that this honorable committee will refuge its support to the present one, which is en- ... I - 11 - A. A. 1 T-l iireiy American, anu it aims iu prevent in' -c.u-glish from driving us away from the Pacific Ocean, as thev did from the Atlantic. I trust that it will receive from Congress the hearty response which it so richly deserves; such an enterprise is no longer an experiment, but an easy achieve ment. We, in Ameriea, have no connection with Asia, and the great Island-Continent of Australia, and the islands lying between them, except by the lines through the nations or waters of Asia, the lied and Mediterranean Seas, the Continent of Europe, across England and Ireland and New foundland, and under the Atlantic. To hear from Australia, Japan, or China, with whom we have a large and growing trade and intercourse, the words must travel perhaps, twenty-hve thou sand miles (25,000) to reach us only six thou sand (0,000) miles away. This plan of mine, of a cable from California to China, would save us three-fourths of the distance, cost, and time now expended. The amount of money spent every year by the Government and people of the United States for sending their messages through English cables from America to Asia is larger than the interest at seven per cent, of the capital necessary for the construction of the Sub-Pacific cable. Marry America to China and Japan by an elec tric cord at the bottom of the sea, and the fruit of the union will be the extension of our civiliza tion, the increase of our commerce, the main tenance of our national comity, the diffusion of Christianity, and the common good of mankind. Gentlemen, the time will come when all of you will feel an honorable pride to have given your powerful support to this grand undertaking, and, to conclude, I promise you the grand and enviable reward to 6hare with us the glory to have con tributed toward extending to more than a third of the sons of Adam the improvements of modern times, and the gratitude of the present and fu ture generations. Celso Cjssar Moreno. DISTANCES IX NAUTICAL MILES. From San Francisco to Sandwich Island From Sandwich Islands to Yokohama, (Japan).. From Yokohama to Shanghai, (China) , 2,085 , 3,415 1,026 Total ..6,025 From New South Wales. The A. S. N. Co.'s S. S. City of Melbourne, J. W. Brown, Commander, arrived at this port on thelCtli inst. from Sydney Aug. 29, viaKandavu -the quick est time yet reported. After taking on board a few tons of freight and a number of passengers, she sailed for San Fraucisco at 1 a. m., on .Thursday morning. We quote paragraphs of interest from the Sydney Morning Herald of the 28th : Since the departure of the last mail steamer by the Pacific route, the organization of the Mail Service has undergone an important change. Mr. Hall, the contractor, left by the Mikado, but without leaving any sufficient provision for the continuation of the service. Iiis attorney has full powers, but was without the sinews of war. It has since transpired that, owing to the unforeseen expens-'3 occasioned by casualties, the charter money for the different vessels engaged has not been punctually remitted, and that the owners had sent out instructions to withdraw the vessels. The contractors' agent having been formally applied to by the Government to know if he was in a position to continue the service, and having admitted that he was not, the Government undertook to supply the omission itself, and has accordingly made a special contract with the Australasian Steam Navi gation Co. to carry the mails for the present trip. The service, therefore, may be considered as in a transition state ; the contract previously existing is in suspense, but it way not have been absolutely terminated. The Government has confined itself, for the present, to a temporary arrangement for two reasons, first, because New Zealand is equally with itself a parly to the contract, and New Zeal and is not represented in Sydney by any one with whom the Government could take counsel, nor is there at present a telegraphic line to that colony that would enable the Government to be communi cated with directly. Mr. Vogel has been appealed to send up a plenipotentiary, and has promised to do so. Under circumstances the Government of New South Wales has acted to the best of its judg ment in the interest of both parties, but at the same time has done only what was necessary. pending communications by letter with the Gov ernment of New Zealand. Another cause that operates to keep the service in a temporary condi tion is the fact that it is at present unknown how far the English capitalists, who are parties to the permanent contract, are desirous of vacating it, and until their decision on that point is knowu no fresh contract can be well entered into. The misadventures which have befallen the ser vice by the stranding of the Mucgreyor and the Tartar, are greatly to be lamented, but such acci dents might happen to any service, and in fact they happen to most services. The opinion that prevails in Sydney is that the English capitalists, who are parties to the contract, have been unnecessarily alarmed, and have done themselves a wrong by backing out of an enterprise which contains within itself an abundant promise of a future proGt. It is thought that if they had been in full possession of all the facts of the case they would have seen that the anticipated loss incurred ia the first instance would be more than redeemed by spirited persistence in the enterprise. The passen ger traffic that has already been diverted to the new route has astonished every one, and it would have continued to increase if the vessels had all been adapted to the service, and the arrangements for the comfort of the passengers had been satis factory. But the vessfla having been hurriedly selected and brought on to Ibe route, and having been originally designed more for cargo than for passenger traffic, it was impossible to improvise such accommodation as passengers are entitled to expect. With vessels however adapted to the line, and the organization of the line completed so as to enable the voyages to be performed with regu larity, no such complaints would arise. By the almosL universal, testimony of ihose who have taken the Pacific route, it is, in every way. prefera ble to that by way of Cape Horn, being both less disagreeable and more interesting; and as the flow ! of passenger traffic to and fro between Europe, America ana Australia, vt annually increasing, tne trade, large as it is. has already shown that it must steadily increase. It will be a matter of consid erable regret if thone gentlemen who took up this contract should prematurely drop it and lose their money, because we should desire that those who come forward to carry out a contract on our behalf should find a fair reward for their capital and their enterprise. If. however, they withdraw, the service itself will not lapsv There are others who have been watching its development with no j little interest,-who are perfectly cognizant of its i capabilities, and w:ho are quite ready to accept ii t rpousiuilitis.'3 So far as hi Government ol this j colony is concerned,' it has announced its resolu t lion t-ii no account whatever to allow the service to lapse5, and ; have every reason to hope (bat j .the.Governiaejit of New Zealand will be equally i reolute. The local steam fleet, with th' ,s?i,Lince of such vessel now running in tlie Iirin service a can be retained on the guarantee of the Gov ernment, will suSce t. keep the service goir.s for the present, and until new arrangements can be made ; so that our English reader niav be assured that whoever else is dismayed the Government of this colony is not. but will either arrange to tare the fervice temporarily cou:iuued or will carry it on itseM until a fresh permanent coniract can be entered into. No doubt whatever e.iti in Sydney as to the policy cf maiataiaiug this line of mail coxmuriication" nor i there anything like regret at the colony having committed i'.sell to the enter prise. Every reason which justilUd its inception justifies its maintenance, an l it will be carried through ia spite cf all obstacle. The events of the past month though not exactly cf a sensational character have not been Altogether devoid of interest. That which has perhaps exercised the pablis mini most, is the position of the Sin Fran cisco mail service, which was threatened with & tem porary interruption. This has Dot only been averted by the timely aid of the A. S. N. Co., but we have had a public assurance from the Premier that the line will not be closed, even though the contract with the Australian and American Mail Company should break down. Since this announcement was made the Colonial Secretary proceeded to th Riverine dis trict, and there, we learn by telegram, he has pro mised speedy railway communication with Sydney as well as an amended land law, enabling those who wish to combine graiing and agriculture to take up larger areas of land than are obtainable under the present Act. As Parliament has been further pro rogued to September 15 without the date of meeting being notified, next session must necessarily be of such brief duration as to cause the remission of an amended land bil' to a new House. Extremely wet weather in the interior, while being unfavorable to business, has been of service to the agricultural and pastoral interests, neither cf which have ever pre sented more favorable indications than they do at this moment. Ihe increased yield of our wool last year, as shown by that portion shipped here, was 10,000 bales more than the preceding one; ana for the sea son of 184-o we anticipate a still. larger increase. Money has been plentiful; we believe it will continue so unless bo me very unforeseen causes arise. Regret is expressed for the misfortunes which have occurred to the Torres Straits mail steamers, lhe tlintshire had hardly left the colony after repairing before the Jeddah was reported as having put into lwoiou isay, with cartjo on fire in the forehold, which necessitated that compartment being scuttled. Notwithstanding these mishaps the company's trade is steadily increas ing, and when their new boats are running a pros perous business is almost certain. We regret having to announce the untimely death of Commander uowl land. It. N., Admiralty Surveyor, who was drowned on the 14th, while taking soundings at Sydney Heads. Besides being an officer of great scientific attainments he was deservedly respected by all classes, and his loss is much regretted. News from the mining dis tricts, if not startling, is at least satisfactory, and if we do not hear of any wonderful finds, we have en couraging reports from the gold and tin companies, as well as from the principal copper-proJuciDg districts. Ureal interest is manifested in the forthcoming Inter colonial Gig Race, to take place on the Parramatta River next month. The Sydney rowers have met Victorian crews in four contests, suffered defeat once. and as that once transferred the championship to Melbourne, they are anxious to recover it. Nothing positive is yet known as to the departure of His Ex cellency Sir 11. Robinson for xiji, his lull instructions from the Home Government not having yet arrived. His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to approve of Mr. James II. Williams being provisionally recoenized as Actinir Commercial Agent lor the United States of America, at Sydney, pending a ref erence to her Majesty a Government. SPERM OIL, the Pure Article.
