At a late meeting of the Board of Trustees in Italeigb, tho following ap pointments were made: Mr. John Kimberly, Professor of Agricultural Chemistry. Mr. II. H. Smith, Professor of Mod em Languages. Mr. Saumsl S. Jackson and Mr. Pe ter E. Spruill, Tutors. 'i General Assembly. On Thursday, the 15th inst. the Standard says the House was occupied in the consideration of rhe resolution offered by Mr. Reeves, of Surry, propo sing to expunge the objectionable lan guage in the preamble to the resolution of 1846-47, appropriating 810,000 to the North-Carolina volunteers, com monly knowu as the "Mexican Pream ble." Mr. Reeves proposedto expunge said preamble from the journals of the House; and on motion of Mr. Settle, the amendment being accepted by Mr, Reeves, it was finally resolved, and the resolution passed in this shape by a vote of 69 to 19 that the words llby the action of the Executive and the snb juqucnt sanction of Congress' should ie expunged by the principal Clerk of the House, by drawing black lines around the same, so as to leave it "Whereat, this Republic is involred iu a foreign war," &c. jAn animated debate took pfa.ee on this resolution, which lasted from -twelve o'clock to seven, the House re. tnaining in continuous session for about cine 'hours. Intfcply to Mr. Outlaw, Mr. Settle delivered a thrilling and inost impres ts ve fpceth, in whiih he depicted the condition of things iu 1846, when this preamble was forcefl mpon the Demo crats, and most feelingly alluded to iLcuis D. Wilson, of Edgecombe, who had vainly appealed to the Whig lead ers of that day tobaudon'ihe preamble and who went, under this preamble, to meet the enemies of hi "country, and died in a foreign land. Among other amendments offered by 1 -.tie. Know Nothings, intended to clog ) the. resolution of 'Air. Reeves, was the following, by Mr. Mann: Resolved, That fire thousand dollars be appropriated out of the State Treas ury, lor the purpose of erecting a suit Able monument to-the gallant Louis D. Jlenry, of Edgecombe the said moou tucut ro be erected iu the town of Tar borough. Mr, Minn did not 'discover his ridic- ulous mistake until his resolution was TJteddown. Subsequently he pat ia a resolution for a monument to Louis D. Wilson, of Edgecombe: whereup on Mr. Bridgers thanked him for his appreciation manifested, even at this late day, of the character and servi ces of this illustrious son of Edgecombe; but told him that Edgecombe had al ready erected a raomuiacntto his mem ory, and needed no such gratuity from tire State Treasury. Applause. Mr. Reeves, the mover of the resolu tion, stated in reply to Mr. Ferebee, that be alone was responsible for it; that he had pledged himself before the people to introduce ii; and that, as he had been determined no t to be govern ed by any action of his party upon tin? subject, so he had not askod its advice.
