the Finances of North Carolina.
RALEIGH. Nov. l3.-The Treasurer Of
the State, under authority CT the Legisla-
ture, has appropriated to the general pUr-
poses of government, sal, 800 that had
been collected TO pay the interest on the
bonds known as the Special Tax bonds.
To-day four bills in equity were filed in
she United States Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, praying that
tie Public Treasurer be e1joined from pay
ing any money out Of the treasury until he
has first replaced the above sum to the
credit of the fund for which the same was
raised. For the purpose Of providing for
the payment of the bonds held by the plain
tiff and all other holders who may become
parties TO these suits, preliminary in
junction has been granted by Judge Bond,
and the 26th inst. set for hearing the mo-
tion for special injunction. While there
is growing disposition ON the part of the
people and press to recognize the old debt
of the State, the people are fixed in their
determination TO resist by lawful means
the payment of these Special Tax bonds.
When these are disposed of, steps will I'M
doubtedly be taken TO compromise the old
debt upon a basis acceptable to the State
and bondholdhOlderS.

WAVES.

Nearly the whole sea is, four times day,
subject to change in its level by the move
ments of the tides. The motion produced
by tho winds, and known by the name of
waves, is much less regular. The wind
striking tho surface of the sea in an oblique
direction, pushes some of the water on the
surface over that which is contiguous to it,
and this raises it above the common level,
until SO much water is accumulated that
the wind is unable to maintain it in that
position, and it falls down. Each wave
presents a gently ascending surface to lee
ward. Tho elevation of the waves varies
according to the strength of the wind. A
rather heavy gale raises them from six to
eight feet above the common sea level; but
in very strong gales they attain an eleva-
ton Of thirty feet. This motion of the
surface of the sea is not perceptible to a
great depth. In the strongest gales it is
supposed not to extend 70 feet below the
surface; and at depth of ninety-two feet
tho sea is perfectly still. The form and
even the size of the waves vary according
to the depth and extent of the sea. In
shallow water, where the lower part Of the
waves approaches the bottom, and meets
with resistance, the waves are abrupt and
irregular, and this is also the case in con-
fined seas; whilst on tho ocean they are
wide and long, and rise and fall with great
regularity. When the waves run to low
shore, the slope of the ground breaks their
force, and they terminate in a tranquil
manner; but when they are impelled against
an elevated rocky coast, being repealed by
the rock, they produce what is called surf.
This evident rising :.of the sea on a rocky
coast sometimes attains an elevation of one
hundred feet above the sea level. The
surf is always dangerous to pass, except
in boats of peculiar construction. The
waves do not subside simultaneously with
the wind. The sea continues in it's apitat
ed state for many hours. The air being
little agitated or none at all, is unable to
depress the fluctuations of the sea, there.
fore the waves during calm after gale
rise higher, and their most elevated part
forms a more acute angle than during the
gale. Such state of sea is called hollow
sea.-London Lancet.
