THE WILMINGTON RAILROAD.
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

the motion of Mr Mebane to strike out all
but the last and insert the amendment of
fered by him, recurred, when Mr Ellis cal
led for a division of the question, and the
House refused to strike out.
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

SEA SERPENT. 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.

FLORIDA. We have received, in the Florida
Republican, the Message of Gov. Wm. D. 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

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. He believed the will of his
constituents was in favor of T. L. Cling
man ; and he therefore gave their vote in
stead of his own.
- Mr T.illino-ton nrpsented the resignation
of the Hon- 11. M. Pearson, as Judge of

will elect the President ; and the insurrec

the Red Republicans, have given strong
preponderance to Cavainac's friends in
that body. In case of a non-election by
the people, therefor, the Assembly will

AUSTRIA
The intelligence both from Austria and
Prussia indicate the approach of another
convulsion. Affairs are rapidly hastening,,
to their denouement, and the privileges
of thc rulers or the rights of the people.
will soon be in the ascendant. Both par-
ties are industriously preparing for the'
struggle, and the sword appears to be the
only arbiter thought el. lhe people ot,.

Prussian provinces and eities are in-a ttatlr

and the people, though very reluctantiTy
are surrendering their arms, under the'

been shed. The Prince of Prussia dV-
flares that if in this struggle the throne ir

Assembly had been again dispersed by
Gen. Wrangel, but not before they hail
passed a law declaring the collection of all
taxes illegal. This was done with a view
of stirring up excitement in the provinces,
Breslau, and other towns, to revolt. Gen.
Wrangel is steadily pursuing liis plans for
disarming the Burgher Guard Frequent
deputations of citizens have waited on the
King at Potsdam, and implored him' to dis
