. Among tho companies attached to
the 2nd North Carolina Regiment
of the State Guards is. Company f; A
of Fayetteville, Major W. F. Cian pi-
bell commanding. : Thta company
is better known as the Fayetteville
Independent Light Infantry; at
home, by the more endearing' and
familiar name of the "Old Indepen
dent!; ; This ., organization , has,
history, long5 and honorable. ; In
1793 the young United States , were
brought close to the verge of open
, war with France, eir.rold.ei3
and ally. The wild Republicans o
that country,; QTeTthrQwing1 meni
archy, society and all its established
orders and forms; ,were forced.; into
universal war, first of; self.- defence
agaiflgt the outraged powers of Eu-
. ' '.'' "'-A '
roper tana,;., nuenea ..w-$a .: viciory
turning their arm? abroad in 'agert
eral crusade of propagaTjdisin. T. J
was perhaps very natural -that they
. should lopk , to the United States , 0
A merica, the only other country m
the worjd which bad adopted, lie
publican forms of government, for
aid and sympathy., , The,liberties bf
America were lrgelyi due to the
spirit, the blood and the treasure of
France. Gratitude was appealed to
and the community of political in
terests might inspire the enthusiasm
of the Americans to impose their
forms of government upon the des;
potisms of Europe.' . But the Diree
tory of France proceeded in a .verj
clumsy way. - They demanded,
Tather fthan .asked, the help bf the
United States. Their emissaries
and their. accredited minister s treat
ed with disdain the; conservative
temper of the American government,
Th ey issued . their proclamations
and manifestos in violation of the
laws of nations. They appealed from
.the President1 to the people; their
insolence cecame so intolerable that
the French Minister, M. Genet, was
ordered to quit the country. ' '. piplo
matic intercourse ; " between -the
countries was suspended. ' The ex
isting French government was
greatly-irritated. It authorized a
kind of warfare against the United
the
cruxssrs, maae
prey of American commerce.' Two
of their war ships, the ImurgenU
and La Vengeance came in conflict
with U, S. ship Con8tellationt and
were captured. The ambition, the
power and the successes 'of the
French seemed to have no bounds,
and this country was in imminent
peril of putting its new powers to a
Ust.
It was at thjstage of affairs that
the towij, ol ' Fayetteville was
touched with the fires of patriotism.
The first town-in this' country to
perpetuate the name of -La Fayette
by substituting it for the old one of
Cioss Cieek, no association of the
gratitude due to so distinguished a
mempry interfered for a . moment
with the call of duty. The Independent-
Company" was organized
out of the best blood of the place,
and its services .' tendered to, the
government They were not needed;
for France had her hands full nearer
home, and had learned the '. true
temper of the American people, and
respected their policy and tho war
cloud drifted away. ; f .
The company lived through a very,
uneventful existence until the; war
of 1812 with Great i Britain. It then
promptly,1 tendered its services i to
the government, the only' .yolunteer
organization of the State that did
so, andtin course of time, was t rder-
ed to Fort Johnson, at Smithyille,
near the , mouth of the Cape , Fear
river.7 The war never scarred the
- soil of North- Carolina,, nor . stained
its waters ; and . the Independent
company was fated' to , chafe in in
glorious idleness until the coming bf
peace. The, State, never prodigal
with substaptiial.'rewai'df was suffi
ciently, profuse; in . empty. Jionbrs;
and the officers, were: all breyetted; n
barren compensation'- at the tjme,
but by association become; .of price
1 ess, worth. K;Thi3 is the explanation
of the anomaly that a company 'is
commanded by d Major, and officer-i
ed by four captinsJs'i; I !y ; '' "
1 There was .a long , interval ; of.in.
glorious ease, in which however, the
company lost none- of its -esprit du
corps.' The organization was formed,
ns we. have said,' of the best blood 61
Fayetleyill,"i JV'was; the, pride of
the eons to succeed the fathers, and
such succession has been, religiously
observed. Service in such a com
pany has always been csteeaied fin
honor; hd for. nearly a century the
joining the Independent company
has been almost as essential to the i
sat
It
young men of Fayewcville as a fdM
mal declaration of yianiwod as tVe
assumption of s the'togaVirilis by
the youth pfRonieV Lawyer physi
cians, merchants, ".mechanic,' all
have tajcen their turn .in the ranks,
an. in their turn have -succeeded to
command The course bfpromotion
is uniform and inflexible. The low
est cbrporaU if he servelohg enough,
will in time rise to the rank Of Mar
jor; but can only do so When those
above him' have passed through the
me course, by the, rise, and ..w)th-
rawal of those who have stfained
the highest rank. , The present com
mander, jg rihe son of Major Archi
bald M; Campbell, who,1! snow; after
the lapse of more than5 thirty years
sees his son arrived at the head of
the ' company . Ninety two years
have witnessed such succession; send
yet the command has, all; the. vigbr
of youth and all the purpose to per
petuate its existence. J - '' ;
v ' The last, service the 'K Independent
company performed' was. . its ; only
serious one, tj , During the late war, it
promptly- volunteered . and . went as
Company ; A of the 1 st Regiment,
inAhefn-6ke"bf battle for the first
time, in the fight at Big Bethel. J; It
wis 'subsequently, on a reorganiza
tion, 't thrown in t J the llthv Regi
ment, i Coh Leaventhorpe; and from
that time until the close of the war,
its history is a part of the s history
of the war, with its full share- of
gallant servici, and with more -than
its full share of carnage. Its ranks
were again and again , recruited to
fill the gaps made by shot and shell.
Few families in Fayetteville that
did not mourn son or brother; but
there Were none to mourn the shame
of cowardice or treason. The flag
that floats so proudly to-day, was
neverilowered in disgraceful flight,
.Perhaps after the war was closed,
there was no haste to resume r
show or pattime the forms of war
which bad had such sad andjsuch
terrible meaning. Yet peace has its
burdens and its duties as well as
war; and when those were made ap
parent, the Independent Company
was again at the service of the State.
It is now," as always, one of the lar
gest, the best equipped, ' and best
drilled companies of the State, proud
of its honorable record, and jealous
of any possibility that its laurels
may ever be stained. : ; . . ;
ine tjompany was organized on
the 23d of August, 1793. ,;
The Recorder is very frank in ex
posing the causes which lias led to
TrepictrieraTm-evaienT'inIJurnani
at the present time. ' The Recorder
has'not been wanting in warnings,
We infer that the physicians haye
been inclined to ignore facts and
proclaim a condition . of h ea 1th ful
ness that does not exisW:
Happily we can say that the au
thorities; i of Asheville have acted
and are acting on -suggestions made,
we may say with . truth, largely on
the promptings of the Citizen. The
town is clean and it is kept clean; it
is healthy; and we hope and believe
will remain so, though .we regret
to find that the careless use of a piece
of State news, referring to another
place, carelessly, and by the Wil
mington Star, still exercises its mis
chievous influence. ' '
To show how inexcusable neglect
Of sanitation is. and how at , vari
ance with decency and common
sense, we quote the following from
he Recorder.:',, . , , . , ; "t
"With all duo deference ; to' the
opinion of our excellent M. D.'s, as
to the causes which riengendejr fever
and constitutional disorders among
the-citizeris of this place, we must
insist that the. condition of the back
vards in rear? of the stores on the
South side of- Main street and the
boarding ' houses, saloons, &c, on
north ; side Railroad street, have
much toMo with the t sickness now
prevalent in- the community fish-
brine, stagnant . soap suda, chicken
entrails, decayed vegetables, , spoilt
nsh, etc.; etc. impregnate theatmos
. OUR H3RMAL SCHOOL
. Concluded its first' session to-day,
and,a niost successful session it has
been in all respects, ". The Trustees,
Messrs." H: A. Gudger, Dr Millard
and T. I. Van Gilder, were most for
tunate in the selection of a Princi
pal and Teachers: Professor White,
Principal, and Professors Benj. At
kins and Wilson, 'and Misses Good
loe and Millard, have not only been
most faithful, but proficient in their
several department-. Largely over
one .hundred teachers; have been in
regular attendance, and their atten
tion to and interest in the exercises
gave tho best evidence of the utility
ancl necessity, ;bf such" schools -in
general, and of the Asheville school
in particular. The Trustees are also
fortunatein securing addresses from
such 'distinguished "men of letters
and practical educators as Dr. Cur
ry, Prof. Winston, - Prof, Venable.
Maior Bingham, Judge Dick, and
others. '- :
" To Mr. Starhes the Secretary of
the . Board of .Trustees, as ' the effi
cient Superintendent of Buncombe
county Schools, is special credit due
for untiring ; services and efforts in
behalf of this school. He has spared
no pains or. efforts to make it en
tirely successful, and has very large
ly contributed thereto. '
- The success of this school sustains
the wisdom of the" author" of the
measure, which created it in the last
legislature HonH. A. Gudger, Sen
ator from this district. All meas
ures which pertained to the educa
tional elevation of the .people of his
district or State always commanded
his earnest sympathy and support
Normal and graded schools he
regards as among the very best
agencies for a . successful popular
education Of the people, and he in
troduced and passed the . measure
establishing a normal school at
Asheville, and, also a measure
authorizing a graded . school in this
city. We have had the Normal,
and have witnessed a most satisfac
tory and useful session. It still re
mains for the citizens of Asheville
to establish the graded school. Mr.
Gudger has full cause to be proud
of his work in general, but specially
of the result of the first session of
the Asheville Normal School.
