TELEGaApH FROM ENGLAND TO AMERI~
cAs-We notice in the English papers
that several projects are broached for lay
ing telegraph wires across the Atlantic.
Since the connection Of England with
Ireland and the continent Of Europe by
telegraph. there Is no longer any doubt bnt
that wires will b Iaid across the Atlantic.
The enterprise 10 merely 4 matter Of time.
One Of the present. propositions before
English capitalists, il FOR throwing an
slectric wire from the moss northern part
of the mainland Of Scotland 10 Orkney,
Shetland aud the Farce Islands-to carry
thence e Iceland and the east coast 81
Greenland thence onward 70 i point On
Davis Straits. near the Arctic circle, and
IS u Cape Walshingham while another
Submarine wire could carry the line across
Hudson's Straits into Upper Canada.
Though the distance wonId 81 grearer.
fllis, Il Il Supposed would u compensated
bY The comparative facility of achieving
tfe project. Whether this Will be lhe ~
lllal line Of the FIRST Telegraph ACROSS tie

Hon. CEoRaG c. Nc WnoRrER.--A great
number of our exchanges come to us,
bearing evidence to the fitness aud worth
Of Judge Nc WHoRrgR In relation to the
next gnbernatorinl canvass. Among otli-
ers is the Louisiana Chronicle, which has
hoisted at itr mast head, the name OF
GEoneE c. Me WnoRrER for Governor.
aud accompanies the announcement with
all article concluding thus
Judge Me Whcrter's intimacy with the
financial affairs Of The State, and his long
and able experience an q legislator. emf.
nently fit him for the responsible position
Of Chief Executive of Louisiana. High.
minded and honorable In his dealings with
his fellow.men, kind and benevolent in his
disposition, and courteous aud aifable in
his department., he certainly stands de.
servedly high in the estimation Of all who
know him.
No one will for a moment question his
fealiy to Wing principles. He has grown
grey in the service of the good cause aud
we know he will die battling for those
great conservative principles, believing
them, as he does, all important in advaDc
ing the prosperity Of our State and Union.
With sncll a man at the helm. to aid IN
carrying Into effect the provisions of the
new Constitution, the people need have
Ito appretensions. Bold and fearless in
the expression of mis- sentiments. manly
and determined in their maintenance. he
will lend himself to nothing but what he
deems calculated Il advance the welfare
aud happiness Of the people.
In this expression of our preference for
Judge Nc Whorter, we reflect the views
and opinions Of the Wing party Of West
Felic.ana. There is no man who would
be more warmly supported here than he ;
and should he be the nominee, we think
the vote Of the parish will bear US out in
tue assertion.

ARTISAN WELLs.-On Wednesday
last, George Menard made the commence
ment, preparatory to digging an artesian
well on north Boulevard. All Of our citi.
7ens look upon this pioneer experiment
with great interest, for il it is successful
il will prove one Of the greatest blessings
that can be bestowed upon our Inhabitants
whether in the CITY or country. George
Menard is a character that deserves more
than a passing notice. A few years since
he was a slave; purchasing his own free

the subject of artesian wells with all the
public spirit OF aphilanthropist, has travel
ed 10 Alabama, and worked with his own
hands IN digging wells. and now comes back

where he has 20 long found his home.
Should he be successful. his name will 60

STATE AuDrToR.--We have heard the
name Of John +. Layet, Esq. named in
connection with the Office Of Auditor. We
would be pleased to see such a good ma
tured gentleman-one who from his long
service in that department has rendered
himself fully qualified to perform its fnnc-
Is~iens--in the Auditors chair, His prompt-
hess aud efficiency in all matters Of bust.
mess, and his strict attention to his duties,
combined with his known fitness. are
strong recommendations for snch a respon.
sible post. a#
The above is from the St. Francisville
Chronicle, of the 18th inst. Although II
is rather soon to talk Of electing an Audi
tor, having about a year to go upon, still
we cnn say with entire truth, that il would
be hard to find a more competent OF pop.
ular gentleman, or cleverer Or more whole
souled fellow, than the subject Of the above
complimentary notice, in the State ofLon-
islana.-BuUetin.
There will be no election for Auditor in
December next, as many have supposed
there would be, but when ii does come
the Col. has clouds Of friends who will
stand up to him, az he has stood up to
them. firmly and with . right good will.
PERPEruAL LlGHT.-A most curious
and interesting discovery has been made

scientific enquiry as TO the material and
properties. Of the ~perpetuaily burning

1t was one morning thst ] stood beside

close ovcr this pond, was q gigantic teak

Now the ape. from his position, saw Q
crocodile III The water, rising TO the top

Quick as thought he jumped plump upon
the snake, which fell with a splash INTO the

by his contractions, made The scales and

The water was speedily tinged with
the blood Of both coinbatants, yet neither

The crocodile also was still, and though
only the spines Of his back were visible,
ii was evident that he, too, was dead. The
monkey nov perclled himself on the low,
