When we heard the report that each wee Ihodesign, and that the OaMe would be hid thla coining .urnBier we laughed at lhu Mm, but managed to hold our peace, rUirtly giving the rumor, without comment, for what It ta wqrth. Wc now have ft, however, from indisputable authority that the V reach Atlantic Cable Company win land their Shore end at a point of llm tanah Marty fronting -lim, new Stockton Hotel, under the sanction of the hill pained by the Stale Legislature at It* last awjlon. A company to ron«ee«e net, wa* organized at Camdeu on smaidhy, 17H1 Inst., nf which A. W. Martrley, Semftrir Bobbins, Attorney * » moral Rohrmni and other well-known '.-rntlemen are Directors. We know not by what means or through whore instrumentality the companies were preTallnl upon to land their Cable at this point, but that every effort wa* used to give the control of lK» end into the hand* of a New York corporation we are hilly satisfied; and though money wa* applied the plot went through.
