lNTo De SAUTY.-A better thing and better said
does not often appear in the newspapers than the
following from the Richmond Despatch
There is a wise and self-respecting Englishman of
the name of De Sauty, who has shut himself up in a
small box at the Trinity Bay end of the Atlantic
cable, and will not let anybody come inside. A gen.
tleman, who has Travelled a long distance to examine
the telegraph prodigy, was only permitted to fatten
his nose against the windows, where he could see
nothing but De Sauty holding on with composure
and dignity to the American end of the Atlantic cable
Week after week, and month after month, there De
Sauty sits, n more patient angler than Izaak Walton
ever dreamed of, with his long line in his hand fish
ing for electrical indications. Every once in a while
he gets a bite. and then hoists his window and tells
I" Peter Cooper" of New York, that he has lust had
a glorious nibble, and catches a "smarl current as
he calls 1T, and send, it off to the aforesaid Peter bv
the next express. The cable is a heavy and taciturn
article, but it does not compare in ponderousness
with the dignity of De Sauty, nor even in silence with
his majestic reserve He is believed to be the wisest
looking and biggest man at this time on the American
continent. 1t would not be at all Surprising If the
smart fellow bad been all this time receiving intelli-
gence from England, and monopolizing it for the ar-
grandisement of his intellect. We insist that the tele-
graph othce shall be opened, and De Sauty dissectel.
to see whether he has not surreptitiously sfufei i; N.

cal indications.

The Legislature. ...'.5
On Tuesday the bill to aid the Fayetteville Coal
fields Road was defeated in the Senate by vote of
ID to 3d. The friends of the measure hope to obtain
a reconsideration Of the vote to-day.
The House Of Commons was occupied for the
greater part of its sessions on Tuesday and Wednes
day, in hearing and considering the arguments for
and against the right to seat member of E. G.
Haywood, Esq, of Wake county, who was when
elected and is now Clerk and Master in Equity for
Wake county. Mr. Haywood addressed the House
at length on Tuesday and Wednesday in support of
his right to seat, and was replied to Wednesday
by Mr.. Benbury. The House will probably come
to a vote on the question to-day
On Wednesday the death of Chief Justice Nash
was announced in both houses, and appropriate
lutions touching that sad event were unanimously
adopted Able and eloquent tributes were paid by
several members to his public and private virtues.
The attention of readers is invited to the pre-
ceedings of Tuesday and Wednesday, in our paper
to-day.
