the water seemed, in some measure, to have
the effect of Inagni6er, BY eniarging the

JUST AS WE ExPEcTED.-The startling fact is
about being brought to light, of the entire fraud
practiced upon the world in the matter of the At
lantic Telegraph Cable. 1t is said that the most
conclusive evidence exists that the whole represen-
taton made in this country and in London, on the
18th of August last respecting the transmission
of the alledged first message of the Directors, Civ
ing "Glory to God," &C., and of the Queens mes
sage to the President, was all false, and fraud
upon the public of the two countries! The Presi-
dent will be invited to communicate the informa-
ton as to the time the Queens message was first
informally, and subsequently under an alledged
transmission of it the cable, communicated to
him. The merchants of Boston are taking the
lead in these exposures and said to be prepared
to prove other fraudulent operations connected
with the Cable speculation Some persons have
made money by the operation, and we suppose Mr.
CYRUS W. Field has feathered his nest.

BOARD OF INTERNAL IMpRovEMENrs-Gov
Bragg, in submitting the Report of the Board of
Internal Improvements to the Legislature, sug-
gests that such Board might be dispensed with,
and an officer elected possessing the requisite skill
to subserve and protect the interest of the State in
all the companies in which she is interested, and
clothed with sufficient power to enable him to do
So" The Board expresses the belief that the ap-
polntment of such officer would save the State
large amounts and serve check upon extrava-
gance or improper application of public money.
The Standard with all due respect to the sug-
gestlon OF the Governor) proposes that instead of
such an officer or the present Internal Improve
ment Board, the Legislature elect Board of Pub
lie Works, consisting of three persons, with
adequate salaries, whose whole time shall be given
to the management of the States interest in public
works, and who shall have the appointment of Di-
rectOrs, &c.

IMPORTING AFRICANS.-We believe the report
that ship from the of Africa had landed cargo
of negroes somewhere the coast of Georgia, is
portion of the supposed to have been engaged
in the operation examined at Savannah last week
DR.. Hazelhurst of Brunswick Ca testified that he had
attended negroes at Jackyl Island who appeared
to be freshly imported they unable to under
stand or speak the English language. 1t is thought
that the ship "Wanderer, which has been seized, did
not bring the negroes but that the vessel bringing them
has been scuttled and sunk. The prisoners
manded to Jail. The trial will occupy two three
weeks.

NORTH CAROLINA Could've were shown on
Saturday, (says the Richmond Wing of the 21st
instant, a specimen of North Carolina gold, weigh
ing ten and half ounces, and almost perfectly
pure. 1t was taken from the mines belonging to
Mr. Christian in Montgomery county, and is Ger
tainly the handsomest specimen We have ever SEEN
Mr. Christian has taken out thirty thousand dollars
worth of the ore in the course of three months,
and at cost of only few hundred dollars. His
mines are believed to be almost inexhaustible.
They were discovered in August last, and he has
just been offered for them in New York, three
hundred thousand dollars, which he refused to
take.
