On Saturday evening last the members Of Manteo
Lodge, in this City, celebrated their Anniversary in
aastyle at once brilliant and impressive. AT six
o'clock they assembled at their Hall, ON Fayetteville
Street, where they were joined by large number Of
visiting brethren from other parts of the State and
after regaiing themselves they marched with music,
toethe Commons Hall, where they were addressed
by the Hon. William H. Washington. 1t is due to
the orator say, that he was ndisposed at the time,
and had been closely engaged previously in the dis
charge Of his duties member of the Senate but
STILL under all these discouraging circumstances, he
performed the task assigned him in such manner,
as not only sustain but to- add to his reputation

MR.. FLEMING,s sTATEMENT,

We consider it right and proper that we should
state, that in publishing week before last the State
ment of Mr.. Fleming of Yancy, in relation to the
recovery had against him by the Executors of John
Hoke, Esq, wehad not the slightest idea of involy-
ing ourselves of endorsing any of the allegations
preferred by Mr. Fleming against the said Executors
We published Mr.. Fieming's Statement, because his
resignation of his seat as member of the House of
Commons had acquired general netoriety- because
we believed the public were anxious to, hear from
him some justification of his course in so resignng
and because we thought he had to be heard in
his own way. =, s. y.
We knew nothing Of Mr.. Childs personally; nor
did we know, Until after the publication had been
made, that our esteemed friend Capt John F.. Hoke,
was one of the Executors. Mr.. Chlds, we learn, is
gentleman ofcharacter and standing and so far as
Capt. Hoke is concerned, we feel confident that no
statement ordeclaration from any source coald cast
the.slightest stain upon his reputation as man Of
honor and integrity. esubmit these remarks, not
with the view taking part with either side in this
unpleasant and nfoftnnate affair but simply in JUS

MR.. THeafpsoIN. OLE WAKE.

On Wednesday last; in the SenatesalI1siOn having
been made IN debate to the position and course Of
Mr.. Thompson, Of Wake, on the subject of internal
Improvements, that geRtleman took occasion to de-l
fine his position. He said he had never been opposed
aiudicious system of Internal Improvements butt
to sectional schemes and parallel Roads acrOssIe
State, he had objected and would continue to object
This the ground he occupied; and the only issue
he had ever made, in connection with this subject
was that teState was likely to lose largely by it's
endorsements for Rail Roads. He had taken the af-
rmative Of this ssue, and Wings had taken the ne
gative; and time had shown who was right and who
wrong. Gentlemen now proposed to put a. stop to-
all those projects and to unite some general State
plan; and all he had to say this point was, that
they bad fallen back the very position he occupied
SINCE when he voted against all Charters for
additional Roads, for the continuation Of parallel
lines. But no one could say with truth, that he was
opposed general system, of Internal Improve
meuts. On the contrary, all he required Of gentle
men who had this subject SO much. at heart was to-
reconcile their copfictng interests, unite ON some
scheme which in his Judgment would be calculated
to develope the States resources and to improve the
condition, far as practicable, of the eho people,
and he would be with, them. in every vote which
might be taken. He had yet to learn that the Demo-
Gratis, party, opposed to Internal Improve
ments and far as the opinions fhs constituents
on this subject were concerned, he thought hek knew
them well enough to be able to vote heres without
waiting for additional expressions or deyeopmenes.a
He made these remarks, because he had been miss
represented in certain quarters in connecton with the
question of Internal Improvements, as well as for
purpose ofpuuing himself right before tie Senate
Mr.. Thompson's remarks on this occasion reflect
ed great credit upon him. liberal conscientious,
and patriotic public servant. No Senator, we are
sure, sdevoted than he is to the public inte-
rests, more mindful OF his obligations to his con-
stituents. We have been associated with him in the
campaign before the peoples and having heard him on
the stump as well as in the Senate Chamber, we haYe
had the best opportunities for judging correctly
his position and opinions. The interests ofthe peo-
pie of Wake County viii never suffer in his hands
A splendid Sword was presented to Lieut. Col.
Castor Meares, by d committee Of the citizens of
Wilmington, on the 9th instant, for his gallant
services in theate Mexican war, and especially at
