COL. ROBERT T. PilNB. However tardy, perhaps, they may have been hith erto, manifestations are now daily multiplying of the appreciation in which the services and character of the Officer whose name heads this paragraph, are held by the People of that State, whose Regiment, in Mexico, he did so much to elevate. The malignity of certain political foes at Home, may have the effect temporarily to retard tributes to that merit which is so eminently his; but the recollection and proper estimate of the same will remain, long after their virulence will have been forgotten. . We had the gratification of being present at the most rich and superb pair of silter Pitchers, by the patriotic citizens of Wilmington, through the hands of their Committee, composed of Messrs. Wkigut T. D. M cakes, and Rosekt H. Cowan. The people of that whole-souled commnnity have thas added to the enviable reputation Which rAy have always sus tained, of being foremost in every act which could redonnd to the credit of the State. The Presentation Address Was delivered by Ro- bketH. Cowaw, Esq , and we are quite sure that we reflect the sentiments of all who heard it, when we pronounce it to have been equally beautiful and feeling in its conception, and handsome and chaste in its delivery. Our sister of Wilmington was as fortunate in the selection of her Representatives up on the occasion, as she has shown herself generous in bestowing honors upon the meritorious and des erving. The reply of CoL Paimk, who was much affected, was characterized by a grateful sense of the Jparinr pnttl him.. ,; ,4a faith, and patience, and patriotism, all were found equal to the task: and though, for the time, you could have no hope of reward beyond the smiles of an approving conscience, yet did you gather, for yourself hurels which will never, fade, honors which time can never tarnish. Our State lost, perhaps, the brilliancy of renown which her Regiment would, unquestionably, have won for her on the line of ac tive duty ; but she has acquired a reputation more honorable because more substantial a fame as list ing as the eternal hills upon which it was" won. The history of nations is but the history of men, and the glory of men is the richest treasure of a na tion. The glory of the sons of North Carolina, from the day on which bold defiance was first cast into the teeth of Britain, to-the present moment, the citizens of WHmigton hate ardently cherished : and the elo- ry of oerrown noble sons, the hallowed memory of oar own. lamented i dead is deeply enshrined in our hearts--6Qf Burswin, our McKenzie. our Swift- gallant oldi erg, acjcom-1--4 scmTrenlen, Scientific Omcers-wtiJoi all of deep devotion of their Coun- ham, Mibstantially, with gome amendments, may find more favor.

It is much to be regreted that the time of the Legislature is thus wasted upon these worthless South Carolina abstractions, when the substantial interests of the people are neglected.' Internal Improvement Meeting. The spirit of Internal Improvement would seem sincere and heartfelt gratitude, to offer an -humble tribute to high moral worth. Republics are said to be ungrateful.' This re proach, however, though it justly arises from the course which was pursued by ancient Republics, is but the vilest of slanders, when applied to those of modern times. We esteem it a duty and a pleasure, aye ! and a sacred duty, to render honor unto him to whom honor is due. - It is natural that it should be so, for man is crea ted with an inherent lore for all that is beautiful and virtuous. : It is right and proper that it should be so, fbr we ceived by me with more heart-felt and lasting plea- sure, than from my friends in Wilmington, it was my good fortune to be associated with some of these friends at an early; period of my life. From that associatioa sprung up a friendship, which time has strengthened and matured, and which has nourished in me a feeling of interest in the welfare of the com munity in which they lived. And ' more recently, sir, I have shared in private and lu public, the hon ors of their hospitality. With pride and satisfac tion,'! have witnessed that commnnity, of which these friends are worthy members, attain to a position of L ,.1 . 1 . 1 1 J of the State; and also, any books that may ave been the productions of North nifnlfnlm tny which he will exchange some of the rarest books ex. taht tnefi as aire: only to be seen in the largest 1 braries of Europe. , It would argue a deplorable state of barbarity a- mong us, if this proposition of the distinguished Frenchman, were met' by a niggardly an4 stupid parsimony Besides the Lecture of Mr; V., several gentlemen of our own State, distinguished for talents and at tainments, were called out, and spoke with ani mation and force upon the importance of his mis sion. . We regret that we are unable to vive even a. sketch of their remarks. Messrs. Rayner, Stanly, Courts,, Dobbin,. Chief Justice Ruffin, and Judge Strangle spoke in succession, to a crowded and in telligent audience, which manifested a lively inte. rest in the object of the meetings Superior Court Judge. It affords us much gratification to announce the almost unanimous election to the Judgeship, vacated by the resignation of Judge Moore, of Hon. Wiw uam H. Battle. Jndge Battle, we are further glad to state, has accepted the station, so flattering ly tendered him. We are requested to state, that the letter to Judge Battle, which we publish below, was writ ten in the House of Commons, as soon as it was as certained that he was elected. It was not known that Judge Battle was in the City. He had reached the City the night before his election, and did not know until he came, that he was in nomina tion.

The preference of another to you for a still high er Judicial station, was. owing principally to your residing in a County, Where there are already three Jdgeaa Qovernor, and a Senator in Congress. In the name of our constituents, and as your friends, we most respectfully ask that you will ac cept the honor now tendered to you, by a vote" of so large a portion of both parties in the General As sembly. .

As a leading Democrat, we ate ighly gratified at the. noble stand he has taken on this subject. We trust that his example will em bolden others of the same party to pursue the same patriotic course. His appeal to his uemocratifr friends was made in good taste, and without the ad dition of a word calculated to stir up party feelings from the other side. He denounced the spirit of demagogueism which is always appealing to the ignorant prejudices of the people, instead ef disseminating information amongst them.

For this proof of the confi dence of the. Representatives of the People, exhibit ed without any solicitation on my part, in the midst of much party excitement," I feel profoundly grateful.
