In looking over the Report of the Wilmington Railroad, we notice that it is set down that the repairs of that road for the year ending October, 1S47, cost the company $510 per mile, and dur ing the present year, $624 per mile! This is certainly enormous, and is enough to break any company less elastic. This is what runs away with all the profits of the road. By investigating the facts, the Report says that the repairs on roads built of T iron, instead of the thin "snake head" stuff that was laid on our North Carolina roads, is only $160 per mile, as shown by ex perience on the road from Branchville to Colum bia, S. C. So that if the Wilmington road was laid with T iron, it would be an annual saving to the com pany of $86,252 11. The Report then state that it would cost the company $516,000 to relay their road with T iron; that they could borrow the money and pay in terest, and then save $55,252 11 annually by the operation. The Report says that the only way for the company to borrow the money is to obtain the credit of the State. Looking at these calculations of the Report as tru, based upon facts; and at the fact that the State is a large shareholder in the Wilmington Road, we cannot but conclude that the State ought to give the relief asked for. THE BAPTIST MEMORIAL. We mentioned last Saturday that Mr Badger had presented to the Senate a memorial from a large and respectable conference of Primitive Baptists. In presenting the memorial, Mr Badger said he did it as an act of duty to that portion of his constituents, but he did not concur in the pur poses which they wished to see accomplished. The memorial sets out with a general depreca tion of that " worst of all scourges, an ecclesias- CALIFORNIA BILL. The bill introduced into the House of Representatives by Mr Douglas, to admit California and New Mexico as a State, provides that all that territory acquired from Mexico by the late treaty, shall be one State, and come into the Union upon an equal footing with the original States in all respects, and shall be called the State of California. But Congress reserves the right of forming new States out of said State, whenever it may be necessary or pro per to exercise such right; and reserves to the United States, all the rights of property to tne public domain in said State. All the laws of the United States, not locally inapplicable, shall be extended over said State ; and that until the next apportionment, the said State shall have two representatives in the Con gress of the United States. PERPLEXED. The Raleigh Register has caught itself in a perplexing difficulty. The editor of that paper refused to publish the Presi dent's Message on account of its great length. (The real reason, no doubt, was because it was a democratic Message.) But the editor did pro mise to give such a synopsis of it ' as would en able his readers to form some judgment as to its merits." Well, we suppose he sat down one day, State. Referred to the Committee on Finance. Mr Courts, from the Committee em Pro positions and Grievances, reported unfa vorably to the bill to establish a new Coun ty, named Graham. Mr Dancy, from the same Committee, reported favorably to the bill to incorpor ate the Pamlico Encampment, in theTown ot Washington. The bill passed its 2d reading. Also favorably to the bill grant ing the County Courts of Gaston exclusive jurisdiction over certain public Roads. Passed its 2d reading. A message was then received from the Senate, concuring in the proposition from the House, to vote to day at 12 o'clock, forU. S. Senator. Mr Dancy, from the Committee on Pri vate bills, reported favorably to the bill to incorporate Union company, in the Town of Fayetteville. The bill pa?ed its 2d read ing.

Mr Mebane then proposed the following amendment: Resolved, That his Excellency, the President of the U. States, did not violate the constitution in giving his official sanction to the Oregon bill, notwithstanding the clause in said bill, prohibit ing slavery in the Territory of Oregon. Upon the question of the adoption of this amendment, the Ayes and Noes were de manded, and decided in the negative 83 to 26. The question on the passage of the reso lutions came un. when Mr McDowell of Iredell, expressed his views relative to the principles involved in them. After which Mr Miller moved for their indefinite post ponement and upon this motion there was a considerable discussion, which was par ticipated in by Messrs Mebane, Hayner. Stanly. Dobbin.

The made by Captain McQuaede of the British navy, describing the sea serpent seen from his ship, an account of which we gave a few weeks ago, has ought up again the long discussed question whether such an animal was ever seen, anu those who have seen, at different times, offthe New England coast, the great monster, are again asserting their right to be believed, against t nose who have been disposed to ridicule them. It is Kornmimr r.f more interest than the mermaid question. Mr Perkins, of Boston, who himself saw the sea seroent in 1S17, give? a very interesting ac- rnuntnf its first aDoearance in lSUinthe harbor w- of Cape Ann, near Boston. He was upon one oc casion within half a mile of the serpent, with a good glass and a fair view for about 15 minutes, and supposed the serpeut to be about 100 feet lone, and as large round as a flour barrel. Mr Perkins seems to have no doubt that such an animal exists, and has been seen often. But there are some who never would believe the newspaper notices of its appearance off Nahant, and other places on the New England coast.

Mosely to the Legislature of Florida. Governor Mosely, a son whom North Carolina :.. n,ini1 tit own. has sp rved two terms, to the IO reat satisfaction of the people of Florida. The message before us shows how deeply he has the interest? of his adopted State at heart, and abounds in practical views of the policy which he thinks her prosperity demands. Her debt is not large, and the revenues will soon en- i able her to pay that off, and commence some State works of improvements Gov. Mosely earnestly recommends that the election of the Judiciary be given to the people. He thinks that if the people are capable of elect ing the Makers of the laws, they certainly ought to be capable of electing proper persons to ad minister them. The question in dispute between Florida and Alabama, with regard to the boundary line be tween them', has been settled to the satisfaction of both ; but a like question yet remains open with Georgia, which Georgia has proposed to refer to the Supreme Court of the United States, to which Gor. Mosely is wiUing.to assent, if the Legislature shall so direct. . ; Zu mKr of Indians now remaining in Flor ida is estimated at about 900, of whom 150 are warriors. The overaor think. .y,wfll be come troublesome unless remove. go into that election to-day at 12 o'clock. The question being on concurring in this proposition, Mr Gilmer called for the Ayes and Noes. They were taken as follows : Yeas 25 ; Nays 23. The Senate then voted. W hen the name of Mr Thomas, of Haywood, was called, he arose and saiil that his position was a peculiar one.
