WHEELER'S HISTORY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
We. observe in the papers at Washington City
this work for sale. The report of the Library Com
mttee of the last session in recommending the pur
chase of this work for State Library stated that
this work was 'laudable undertaking to rescue
from oblivion some of the most brilliant points in
the history of North Carolina, and elevate the char
acter of State abroad. =" 1t cannot but be that
errors should creep into work extending over
a period from 1884 to 1851, and detailing so many
events and such n number Of names Yet we believe
that the effort has been successful, and have no
doubt that many who first drew their breath in
North Carolina and living in other States will
peruse its pages with deep interest We learn that
there arc more members representing other States in
Congress natives of North Carolina than any other
State. Among them notice the names of COL
Benton, of Missouri, born in Orange County; Dun
BAR of Louisiana, and Jones' of the State born
in Rowan; Mcqueen of South Carolina born in Ro-
beson; Orr, of the State, in Wake Gov Lane,
of Oregon, also born in Wake; Etheridge of Ten
nessee, born in Currituck and Gen. Zocoffcr OF
the same State, born in Halifax and many others,
who have doubtless read the record of their own
State with pride and satisfaction.

The bill, as it stands, aside the coInpron
and recognises the territory of Nebraska open
for the admission of Southern emigrants with their
slave property, well as those from the North with
their property of every other description leaving it
te the people of the territory, when they frame their
STATE Constitution, to permit prohibit slavery at
their option. This is certainly the true Constitu-
tona ground maintained by the Southern States but
compromised by them for the sake Of peace. On
Monday, then, when the bill comes up we may ex-

to that of 1850, with many circumstances to rendor

The Wilmington Herald says:
"In conversation with gentleman from Buplin
yesterday pleased to learn that the reports
respecting the prevalence of the Small Pox in that
county, have been much exaggerated. He informed
us that the total number of deaths has been about
twelve; and there has not, to his knowledge, been
ascertaned new case in the last thirteen four
teen days. One of the persons published as having
died of the disease, has been dead some fifteen OF
twenty years. The alarm has been general, and the
disease more fatal from the want Of proper manage

THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD. We arc happy to
learn that the Tennessee Legislature have granted
aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad Company within the
limits of that State the amount of $55U,000 This
with the subscription under the control of Knoxville
raises the Tennessee contribution to this important
work to the of $s5O,O00. We also learn thata

amount OF million of dollars to branch connecting
Chattanooga with the Blue Ridge Railroad at point

THE NEBRASKA QUESTION.

One of the Washington Correspondents of the
Richmond Enquirer says: L" The amendments to t he
Nebraska bill are received with great favor. They
have changed the whole character of the BILL and it
will be passed by Congress. Judge Douglas has be-
haved we'll in yielding to the just demands of
those who opposed to the revival of the slavery
agitation for any purpose, and who favorable to
the constitutional rights of the South and of all sec
tons of the country" One of these amendments ex
pressly declares that the Missouri line twas super
seeded by the principles of the legislation of 1850
commonly called the compromise measures, and is
declared inoperatice."
Judge Douglas has thus marched boldly up to the
question at ISSUE and put it in shape so we'll de-
fined and palpabe that can misapprehend
the purpose he proposes to attain. That purpose IS
to open Nebraska to African slavery, and leave it
to the people thereof to say whether they will have
the institution or not.
