sexille. Citizen R.M.FCRMAN,1 V k JORDAN BTONK, - V EDITORS. " Jp. CAMEBON, ; j . v MONDAY EVEN'G. July: 20. '85, - i . . - - i i V -THE -STATE -GUARD. During this week will be witness edliere one of the most strikingly beautiful and interesting spectacles that can b, rt presented; to the eye. There will be "assembled the soldiery oi North Carolina in 'all the fresh ness of youthful vigor and enthusi asm, with all the ardor of military spirit, with all the pomp and bril : liSScy of .military display, and with all thapride justly .and naturally engendered by the consciousness o the position ascribed to them as the preservers of the people's peace and ; the defenders of a nation's rights, Aa a, holiday spectacle, it will be enjoyed and' admired; and as a re 1 creation for the young men partici paling in - the" demonstration, wil ... , command eseneral approval. But to those who look below the surface there, is" a much deeper significance than is conveyed by the splendors of unifoTm, the perfection of the drill the subordination to discipline. To such observers will occur the reflec tion that to thjs small disciplined band, this voluntary organization o: young men, is intrusted the preser vatiorr of the order and quiet of the whole State in times of peace. The State Guard is the only representa tive of the military system remain ing in existence. With the return of peace to the South, there was no revival of the old militia system. At its best, it was a burlesque. It ac complished nothing more than a visible and tangible demonstration of the number ? of able bodied men liable to military service. Its annu al parades unmade, rather than maae soiaiers. its commissions taught officers false and conceited ideas of capacity; and officer and soldier alike, when confronted with real duty, found themselves on the same level; they had everything to re-learns The whole system was supremely ridiculous; almost sub limely so, when we recall the splen dor of the cocked hats and the wa ving plumes, and the golden epau lets, and the voluminous sashes, and , the clanking scabbards, andthe rat- l v' 'gjPP"1 autl the fathomless, jg Jhorauce of the old brigadiers, or mi- htia colonels. The war finished what Col. Pluck began half a centu ry ago. - The revival of the militia system on its old , footing afterthe war was as remote as the resto ration of slavery. No substitution was quick in being offered. The country was tired of war, and what ever reminded it of war. ' Yet the most peaceful people can not live in the delusion cf perpetual peace and quiet. Some disturbing element, is certain to be evolved in the course of events. This was the more sure in the Southern States, when an addition was made to the free population nearly equal to those who had always been free, and who were trained to the . duties of society and practiced in self-cDntrol. In these,;;he . new "addition was deficient; and " misconception of newly acquired rights, or over-estimate of, newly .acquired powers, might -naturally- tempt to "abuse. l.his has been the experience of some portions of the State: and it was ' the Enforcement f" of this , fact rather ' than the ; fondness for military display,' that led to the formation "of .'military -companies, qjitt terminated mine orgamzatian of the State Guard. : f Sonae prejudice yet lingers against as a wtjc and' i reminder of war in time of peac" t is looked upon as holiday; pastim ratheVthan serious duty. : It ranks ; ; with; base ball, rather than with what - calls for sac rifice of time, and toil.' ahd may be of life. This prejudice should give way o reason. No country can be safe withwtfsome resource in time , f periL ; And with us, , perils cer tainly threaten5 or rise frpmthe pas sions of the populace, front thous ands of causes, that disturb the social fabrics. In these perils, the public calls on th9 State executive for aid ior protection. Upon whom can', the Governor call ?. There is nomilitia in existence If he orders . the county sheriff ' to do his duty upon whom can the official call ? of what avail may be a sheriffs hope, . summoned, it may be, in part from theelenaenthe "is called upon to compose? The civil arm would fall powerless if there did not stand ready prepared by the patriotism of yowog men ctanding ready to come uitomce lo tlie rescue, obedient to call, i3cipliied for action, trained to service, submisssive to theo!dier principle, impartial in enforcement of the law, executing it without favor or affection; "and, as we have seen in a recent instance, ready to do so above the prejudices or in stincts of race," soldiera in fact, made so by organization and discipline, and kept such by vigors of military rule. -- y. ""r - Such organization constitutes all that we need of an army,' a nucleus around which-., a - larger force : ban form ; when f needed; ; a nursery of military form and spirit; a school in which the military art is preserved; but more powerful in value than all, a moral force whose existence will always coptrol the unruly as the embodiment of the spirit and power of the lawl' "': "'":',.- We accept with great pleasure the commendation of the course . of the Citizen in relation rto; the State Guard, , recently given us in an interview with Governor Scales. .We .shall hold to the course we have hitherto pursued in advocating all legislative or other ' means; which givestrength "and permanency to the organization ',' 'we believe indis pensable jEhef peace and. good order ofthe Statef and we gladly welcome -fhe presence of ' the encampment hire that the people mav see for . themselves ' its condition,- its object, and its neces sities! ,- - ' :.', THE TARBORO SOUTHERNER AND THE ENCAMPMENT ; The Tarboro Southerner seems to be irreconcilable upon the matter of the encampment of the, State Guard at Asheville. and not only takes advantage of every opportunity to say something anpleasant, but in its last article does violence to truth, as well as gross injustice to two hon orable men and officers, Gov. Scales and Adjutant General Jones. .. We shall not discuss the propriety of the location of the camp at Ashe ville. Gov. Scales ordered this after mature consideration. The three thousand dollars is not an appropriation of the money .of the people of the State. The amount is simply advanced by the State, to be replaced out of funds given by the general government for State miKtia uses, which will ;be paid soon. Most if not all of this sum is or will be required for transportation of troops to and from the encamp ment. "Not-: a cent of this or - any other public money will be used for the entertainment of officers. of our own ffai-wip! Siate. much less of others, the'vCrs froVn Comman der-in-Chief OQl n paving all their own ' personal expenses as, do tne privates. To have subsisted the guard would . have required double the amount of money at command. Outside of the" transportation, - the only thing furnished will be horses for tile higher officers, which will be only a few, and which . . . . ... . . no one will, witn reason, oDject to. -" ' Gen. Jone3 will require no "de mand5' from the State press or oth ers for an "itemized statement of expenses." j , : As an officer of the State, he will perform his duty throughout with fidelity, which of course win include a statement of the use of public funds. And his report will sbctf that the "$3000" was not used for "the glory of ep auleted dudes," but in strict confor mity 'with the requirements of the occasion, fot actual necessary expen sesofthe command, by and with the approval of Gov. Scales. The soldiery do not seem to partake of the sensitive apprehensions of the Southerner, and we trust that journal may be able to survive the event the more especially as not one cent comes out of the pockets of the peo ple of this State, save what may have been added by citizens of Ashe- yiHeJo Genl. Jones' fan d for enter tamment Teh days remain to the conserva tive people i of Virginia the-anti-Mahone men in which to ; reflect upon their , ticket and platform for the coming campaign. ... 1 hey can "make the day of their convention the beginning of a new era in the history of the" State, or by an imitation of all that 'is shameful in the methods and policy : of Mahone's party, and avoidance of all that is . decent and patriotic therein, they can help the State on ward to ruin. .' ; They can strengthen the party at arge and so give permanency to democratic rule. or. the v can! hfow the State, the south and the nation open to republicanism to republicanism under the rule of men like Mahone. ' ; No people in the; world ever had stronger reasons for doing well the work before them than the tax-pay ing, intelligent, conservative citizens of Virginia now have. ; The most important part of the campaign is that 1 which precedes the convention. V A bad ticket and bad platform will- make : effort useless: a: good ticket and a good platform will almost make success certain.- Peters 'mrg IndeAppeal. J'ihn Roach and1 oasT the - great American ship bcihv v hayemade an assignment,. i The Mem-phis Appeal gives a great deal of attention to the material development of the South, -and we enSorse every word of the following extract : "In every respect, : the South is coming to the front, and every week the attention of; capital is more strongly drawn to her; The result will be, that when" reviving influences begin to stir trade into life ; and '.: animation once - more the South, and the advantages it presents will become objects of strong attention,1 and ; .where good grounds for investments can be shown invest ments will be made. -Then will come a crisis that may affect the South for many a year id come. - If our people lose their heads over the whirl of prosperity ; if they, advent ture without judgment and specu late where they have no experience, "flush times' will 1 be followed ' by bitter reaction." But the people of tne ssoutn will take care not to Jose their heads,. ".'
