IMPROVEMENTS IN rpE crrv

lmrnosEMENrs '.'., !. :. IN TIE CITY
S ouf iule :" City = is gradually impro,;..
presents at tins time lively and pleasant aAd
New buildings additions to old ones arr
y in progress, and real estase shows .,oas 'an'
crease in valuation. Among the new hn;,a;- H.
may notice Yarbrough's House, the Ins,i,n,;on We
ueat and Dumb, and the private residenc.. Ns
Messra Branch and Grimes, and those of the Nj. of
rogers and Mrs. Stone, and Of Mr.. McRaa eS w
ofoosns House, in progress Of construction h.. a'
company consisting, we believe, of that pen,,s:
and Messrs. Cosby. Bledsoe, and Nixon. viii, h.
Of the largest and best arranged Hotels in ths
1t is opposite the Court House and immea;.,s,N'
the north Of the Cape Fear Bank. The dio;n.
and the rooms above it are finished already 81
pear to be finely adapted to their purposes. ~. n.y.
Hotel, under the excellent superintendence IF c'1
Yarbrough, must have large run of patron,a. W.
pecially when the Central Road shall have besn
structed and put in operation.
The outbuildings, pailings, &c. of the Io.,;t,,;.
for the Deaf and Dumb have been completed ''' .'a
the main edi6ce thoroughly furnished; bot ~
grounds, owing to lack Of funds, have not h...
laid oat and improved as they ought to be- ~
School is in fourishing condition, under ,bs ,h
management of Mr. William D. Cooke. Tbe,s .'s
ample accommodations for pupils, and tits matte,
regret that euery deaf and dumb boy and GIRL wiki"
our borders, is not sent to it for instruction anil
lightenment.
The private mansions Of Messrs Branch and
Grimes, on Hillsborough Street, and of the Mis,..
Rogers and Mrs. Stone, and that of Mr.. McR,e -
Fayetteville Street, have added materially to tha a.
pearance of their respective neighborhoods and \,
credit to their taste and berality. We observe ,b,,
Col. Hutchings, on Hillsborough Street, has besn
adding to his residence; and Mr.. Blake, the P,;r,
pal of the Female Institute, has greatly imp,ovea
his residence (the Geddy place,) in the same v;cn
ty. Hillsborough Street is one of the most elo;h,o
in town, and there are several good building lots
upon it which must soon be filled up.
Capt. Guion, of the Eagle Hotel. has also hes,
engaged, during the past year, in improving his u
misses. The Captain has way of doing everv Thin,
in the best style, and he no doubt merits the lihe
patronage he is receiving.
Capt. Lawrence, Of the City Hotel, has also m,do
additions, recently, to his establishment. His houss
is conducted in capital style, and he richly deserve,
the patronage bestowed upon him.
4 improvements In
the Eastern Ward, that Dr.. Mckee has made hi,
residence, [the Mark Cook place,) by various add.
tons and alterations, one of the handsomest and
most comfortable in town. Messrs. Burch and Al.
ans are putting up residences east Of Dr.. Mckee,
on the same lot. Nor must we omit allusion 10 tho
Collage, recently erected by Col. John H. Manly,
near the Government House. This building is Of
a new style of Architecture for this region; but
though somewhat odd and singular in its appearance
it strikes the eye most sgreeaby, nestled as is
among lofty oaks, and reminding one of the banks
of the Hudson-which, by the way, We have never
seen.
The stone-work of the new Episcopalian Church
has been completed, and the roof, we believe, has
been put on. The interior is unfinished and has
scarcely, we believe, been commenced. This build.
ling is east Of the Capitol, and directly south Of the
lpresent Church, which is quite small and Of wood
The new Church will be spacious, ndestruc.ibeia in
its materials, and rather antique and striking in its
general appearance than elegant or beautiful. 1t will
be twelve months, probably, before it is completed
and dedicated.
Raleigh is deservedly celebrated for its native
oaks its ne shadetrees, its level walks and Streets
and, if one may 50 mingle things in description
for its fourishing Academies and Schools, and the
agreeableness of its Society. 1t is destined to im
prove and grow still more for the future. under Tho
invigorating influences Of the Central Road. In the
meantime it is most desirable place for a summer
resort, especially to the dwellers the sea'board
and in the Eastern Counties.
THE REEISTER.S REPRESENTATION
The Register misrepresents us again, in saying
that we made an s. unguarded admission :" some time
since about the District Of Columbia, and recently,
an IS unguarded expression about the I" true doc
trine." We have never admitted, as that paper well
knows, the Constitutional power of Congress over
Slavery in the District Of Columbia; and we said
nothing, as that paper also we'll knows in our notice
of the proceedings of the Wake County Convention
to authorize the slightest inference even that Mess
McRae and Busbee had placed themselves in opp0s'
,ion to the Sc true Democratic doctrine We stated
on that occasion, that M. Shepard presented Sc
ries Of Resolutions embodying the true Democratic
doctrine. and taking the ground, very properly, thai
so far as the Central Rail Road was concerned, &C.
There is certainly no " unguarded expression here
We meant what we said, and what We said IS"
plain as the sun at MONDAY. We meant that MI
Shepard's Resolutions, far they embraced p'Ah
cal matters embodied the true Democratic doctrine
those of them, for instance, in relation to the 10
dependent Treasury, the Tariff, and Gen. Taylor
IS and, we added he also took the ground that "'
Central Road I" was settled matter, and one ao0a'
which Democrats ought not to dispute and DIVIDE
We know Of no " true Democratic - or Wing "o"
trine - on the subject of Internal Improvements; ."
have been accustomed, as the Register isfuly aw''
to regard this subject which docs not and q.
not involve or interfere with party politics. ANN
