Asheville Citizen. R. jff. FTJRMAN, JORDAN STONE, J D.CAMERON. EUITOM. MONDAY EVEN'G, Aug. 10, '85, THE RECENT ENCAMPMENT, AND THE AWARD OF PRIZES. ' We have regretted much that has been said by some of our contem poraries relative to the award of prizes recently at the encampment of the State Guard. Such criticisms can only tend to the destruction . of that harmony which should - exist among the different commands, and, consequently to the hurt of the itself. However disappointed one may feel over failure, imputations of bad faith and judgment should not be indulged in with too much " readiness. . "" The judges in the contest between the first, 'second and fourth regi ments for the banner and sword offered by the citizens of- Asheville were army officers, who stand high' :-' in their profession, who were abso lutely unbiased, it being impossible for them to have occasion for pref erences. Col. Black never saw, we dare say, a member of either com mand previous to the encampment. They are at least entitled to confi dence for impartiality. The contest between 1st and 2nd regiments was admittedly, close, yet, according to rules, and the strict record kept of every movement, and position,' of men and officers, shows the first had an advantage sufficient to merit the award which was made. The award was not intended, nor could it bo' construed as a reflection upon the splendid soldierly qualities of the second - regiment. As to the statement made elsewhere, that pub lic opinion in Asheville condemned the action of the judges and the award, we unhesitatingly pronounce it unwarranted. Individuals will have opinions about everything, and Asheville, individually, in this respect, does not differ from other folk; but that , the public, as such, have united in one opinion upon t this matter is ajl nonsense. The people of Asheville were proud, and justly so, of all the regiments, and would not," -of course', attempt to make invidious distinctions; nor do they wish any such impressions to go out They were, and are, sat isfied with the result of the contest. for which they offered the prizes and which was adjudged by disin terested and competent judges. All the boys bore themselves splendidly in this, their first en campment: All could not bear off ' prizes: but let those who were un successful in this instance, bear " their defeat as soldiers, and strive for better luck next time. At leas let only harmony and brotherly feeling prevail throughout the en tire command. taken charge of the notes of the de ceased. V . , , Prof. Kerr was a native of Orange county, and was about 55 years of age. , ". ' : Up to the moment of writing this brief notice, we had waited for full notes of the scientific career of the deceased, which were promised us by a gentleman in position to be fully informed. They did not reach us, and we make the above " hastily written substitute. . r. o. Since the above was in type, the notes reerred to have been received, " but too late, and not in proper form for this issue.. They will appear to-monow. Great crimes are sometimes along time in meeting punishment, and criminals elude detection, until ihey begin to feel safe. But exposure comes at last. The News Observer has the following in relation to the Finch and Gunter tragedies," as cru el and as wholesale as the Joyce case in this" "county: ':f "- "The coroner s jury in the Finch murder case met Friday, but did not render a veidict. They were afraid that if the did the people might think they had more evi dence than they really had, and at once lynch the. negroes in jail and suspected. There are now five ne groes in jail, four men and one wo man. Three of these are supposed to be connected with the Gunter murder. Dr. Wormley, a well-known Philadelphia chemist, to whom the trousers and drawers of the negro Jerry Finch were sent for examina tion, reports that he has discovered signs of human blood corpuscles. The trousem had been pretty thor oughly washed. " Not so the draw ers, and on the latter the corpuscles were pretty plainly detected. The feeling against the. prisoner is very strong. The evidence is circum stantial and pretty strong. The general belief is that the Gunter and Jbinch murders were committed by the'same persons. A gentleman , from Chatham said yesterday that he held an opposite view. Private Bobping in Waynesville.

KERR. i ne me oi tnis gentleman came to a close . yesterday morning at 4 o'clock, at the residence of Solicitor Adams, in this place. Some four weeks ago he was brought here from Durham, wasted with disease, with a very iairit hope of improvement. But consumption had long ago marked him for a victim, and after his arrival -here.'there was no check on his progress to the grave. Prof. Kerr has been a well and widely .known man in educational and scientific fields. A Tutor at Chapel Hilla Profesor at David son College, the head of an institu tion in Texas, he acquired reputa tion as a - teacher; but he is best known as a scientist. He was placed at the head of the Geological survey of the State of North Caro- .lina by Governor Worth, when the 1 . . i i r "r 1 1 i wuriv was icsumeu m 1000. in mat work he was patient, laborious and active, visiting all parts of the State, and with painstaking accuracy in vestigating the mineral resources of the State, and the agricultural char acteristics of the sections. It was the a close in his life time. Indispen sable and unavoidable delays at- 4 1 .l : r i. 1.1 and the publication of his notes; and his last years were clouded by a partial' hostility, originating in impatience alter results, rather than distrust in his fidelity or capacity. This led to a partial withdrawal of "lL''l 1" 11 ?A ? t . ' ue uuwiomy ; imrusieaio mm oy the State, , and during the last few years of his life, he was employed by the General Government in con nection with its work of Geological Survey. .; ; ' Much of the work of Prof Kerr remains unpublished. " It will be prepared for the press by Professor Holmes, of the University, who has 3STew Lot Timothy and Clo ver Seed. The Engine Arrived, - We make .the following extracts from Saturdays . telegrams, which give som e particulars of the closing incidents of the great funeral : At precisely twenty-five minutes to 4 o'clock the sad strains of music gave notice of the approach of the catafalque, and the waiting soldiers came to order. In a few minutes a string of carriages. came "in view, and shortly drew up in front of the tomb. From them alighted first, Rev. J. P. Newman and Bishop Harris. Following them were Generals Sheridan and Buckner, Sherman and Joe Johnson, Gener als John A. Logan and ; George W. Boutwell. 1 Then came the funeral car preceded by "a band, and sur rounded by the members of George visible to tne mastheads ot trie ves sel until the ceremonies were over, j the ships of the squadron kept up a steady salute ot sixteen pound n&nk cartridges, once in a minute.

The services were very brief. Prayer was then offered by Post Chaplain Wright. At the close of the prayer a grizzled bugler came out of the throng, and standing directly over the body, sounded the tattoo. Then Bishop Harris came forward, and while the gentlemen standing near shielded his head from the sun, which beat fiercely down, he began the beautiiul burial ser vices wich commences, "I am the resurrection and the life." When he concluded, he read from Corin thians, 9th chapter, 41st verse, and following verses : ' There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars.
