For Tie HiIIsborough Recorder.

Mr.. EDIToR: Among the many sons Of
North Carolina who have done honor to her
name, there is none to whom she owes a
deeper debt Of gratitude than to Col. John
III. Wheeler--her distinguished Historian.
In his able work, the History Of North
Carolina" he has presented vast amount Of
valuable information, and has rescued from
oblivion many incidents Of thrilling interest
which would otherwise have been lost to the
world.
This learned gentleman, on Friday even
ing delivered lecture before the Cadets oil
the Hillsborough Military Academy. on the
Wits Of Queen Elizabeth.
The subject was aptly chosen, for besides
being one well worthy Of the attention oil the
student and of the general reader, il is one to
which. unfortunately, the various writers on
English Literature have devoted little space,
SO that any information concerning It IS much
to be desired and is eagerly saught after, and
Col. Wheeler's deep research and varied
learning we'll qualify him to give such infor.
nation. After speaking in eloquent terms
of the magnifcence of the period Of which he
was treating, Of its Warriors, its DISCOVERIES
and its Courticrs. be paid fitting tribute TO
the memory Of the hero,poet, Sir Walter
Raleigh, the "Shepherd Of the Ocean" al
luded to his connection with the early set

the history Of the unfortunate little settle.
ment Of Roanoke lsland--the first formed in
this country and also the birthplace Of Vir-
ginia Dare, the first white child born on the
continent.
lie then entered fully into the considera.
lion Of his subject aud for three quarters Of
an hour kept his audience enwrapt, cnliyen-
ling his lecture with anecdotes and with ma
Inv familiar illustrations.
In conclusion he spoke particularly Of
Shakespeare, that brilliant luminary, who,
more than any other, has shed a golden lus-
tire upon the splendid reign Of England's
/" Maiden Queen" !" lie spoke Of his beautiful
simplicity of character. and Of his modest
worth Of his wonderful power in depicting
the various passions which sway that mysie.
/ nv Of mysteries-the human heart, and Of the
striking individuality and loyeliness Of his
female characters; ho spoke as one who had
thorough knowledge Of the character and
works Of the great Poet.
The styl. of the lecture was easy and
graceful, with suiicien, ornament to relieve
Il from plainness, and yet not enough 70 rem
der il ilowery and, takenin connection with
the reading Of some Of the most choice ex.
tracts from 0thcllo, was, upon the whole, a
literary feast Of rare excellence, and 1t is 10
