Tiie North Carolina, troops, in ac cordance with arrangements, arrived Monday uight after thu usual delays and a:uiovam-es. () i reaching York- I town it j ere While glittering prospect resolved itself into a collection of ! I'oard shanties, 'mingled w ith a few j antique structures, and a waste of deep sand further inland, through which the long lines of troops toiled to the camp, 'a mile and half away from the landing. The location of the camp, hovveVer, was, certainly so admirable as to make full amends for any other drawback: Tiie arrangements of the i grounds were peneei, ami vsorui Una was given a position which was at once the most commanding and np.,,,' ' ,,,, tio' grounds.

A gallant show these ; made, with lines of bunting from ... , , -i i , - sprit to topmast, the flags of every country under heaven being blended ! in 'friendly 'rivalry. In a palatial ; . steamer was Gen. Hancock, while on j many of'the vessels were regiments 0f troops, wmo remained aboard save ,tm parade occasions. The scene was i one never to be forgotten, for on shore the show was truly a brave one. Acres of tents w hitened the vast' plain or plateau, and the troops of the various States were placed in position accord ' ing'to tiie seniority of their common wealths, North Carolina being plea - aiitly situated between New York and' ; Rhode Island.

The Pres-J ifleilt, of th T,nif( Stntr. i-aj mcoiv. I j ed by Governor Holiday, as were also j the French and German delegations. the diplomatic corps, the Governers, etc. . A prayer was offered by Rev. Hol ert Nelson, of Virginia, and after the rendition of the "Star-Spangled Hwi ner,"bya chorus of three hundred voices, the United States flag was un furled, and instantly came the thun der of salutes by the fleet. Then the "Marseillaise" was sung, and Gover- ' nor Holiday delivered his address. In thj evening of Tuesday there iwasa beautiful pyrotechnic display from the men-of-war lying in the riv er, and following came a storm, w hich raged all night, and which reduced the temperature from that of winter a happy change indeed. The North Carolina State Band, Prof. WY II. Keavc. (thirty pieces), w hich was, by the way, very much complimented, was honored on Tues day by being chosen to give the first concert at the band stand. On the afterneoii of Tuesday the troops of North Carolina w.re grati fied by a visit from a number of-dis tinguished "gentlemen from their State who came ashore from the vessel on which they were staying as the guests of the centennial commission. Among these gentlemen were Hon. J. J. Da vis, Captain Charles M. Cooke, Capt. S. A. Ashe and others. They were cheered by the troops, and were de lighted with North Carolina's repre sentation. On Wednesday the most imposing exercises in the way of reception were held at the monument side. A vast audience was assembled there, the Governors- of no less than fourteon States, with their gorgeous starts, oc cupying positions. Under a canopy i sat President Arthur,Seeretary Blaine ami other members..' of the Cabinet, the Senators and Congressmen, and many superbly attired French and German oiiicers. After various exer cises came an-address! bv the Presi dent of the United States, and 'then responses by the foreign guests, made i in their own languages, Then came came the centennial ode by Paul Hay ne, and and Hon. Robert CJWia tiirop, of Massachusetts, delivered an address of two hours' length. James Baron Hope, of Virginia, read the ! centennial poem. At the conclusion I of these ceremonies theie was to have i j been a reception by President Arthur, j but this was a failure, certainly so far as the Governors were concerned. But the time was not lost. On the plat , form the governors met in a manner most informal, and presently they i withdrew and on the river bluff in- 1 5 , augurated a delightful time. Senator I Vance w as the lite of the assemblage - and entertained with ids great store of wit Governors from a dozen States. Governor Jarvis was the recipient lf special attentions. That admirable gentleman,-Gov. lloyt, of Pennsyiva-, ma. was remarkably social, and the the Pennsylvanians and North Caro linians "fraternized." In the after noon Senator Vance, Governor Jarvis Gov. Iloyt, with their staffs, went aboard the Tallapoosa, and were enter tained. Here we met that grand gen tleman, Senator Bayard, wno took an active part in the enjoyment of the oc casion.

The one, march in review was not a long and by 11:. 30 in the morning the troops were back at their camp. In the afternoon there were many receptions by distinguished gentle man on board the vessels of the fleet. Gen. Jones and 'Lieutenant-Colonel Olds of his staff, accompanied by Capt F. B. Hamilton, of the Second Ar tillery, well known in Raleigh, at tended that given by Gen. Hancock, on board the St. John. There they met President Arthur, Gen. Hancock, Se&retary Blaine and other prominent personages. They also met Senator Wade Hampton, Senator Vanco, and Hon. Joseph J. Davis, on whose arm was Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, a lady .whose name is so dear t'o every South erner.. On the evening of Thursday, His Excellency Gov. Jarvis took dinner with Governor Cornell, of New York, eight Governors were present. Later in the evening the distingushed party was serenaded by Dodworth's band of 100 pieces. Speeches were made by the Governers, but tiie best of all, and the one most applauded, was that of Gov; Jarvis. Gov. Cornell and the Governors of many other States call ed at Gt ) v . Jar v is' hea u arte rs, and ha was serenaded by half a dozen bands. It will at one-? interest and gratify North Carolinians to know that their Executi ve, was the recipient of so many attentions, and - that their troops were favorites with the entire camp. The "tarheel" soldiers were models of deportment and kindness, and no troops made more friends and wore shown : more favors. Senator Vance, Gov. Jarvis, and Gen. Jones niada speeches to the troops, paying ing them high compliments. I It was decided to hoJd the grand na val review on .Thursday evening, in stea 1 of on. Friday. The spectacle was imposing beyond description. There were the French men of War, and such ships of our navy as the Ten nessee, Vandulia, Trenton, Kearsarge, Franklin, SaratogaAlarm, etc. Thousands of people witnessed the nianouvers of the fleet, while the air rang with tho stunning reports of the great guns of the ships. The ceremonies thus ended, the camp began to break up. The North Carolina troops left at midnight of Thursday, many of them going to Norfolk, to take part in the parade thereon "Friday. Governor Jarvis left at 0 o'clock Friday morning, on board the beautiful revenue cutter "Colfax," by special invitation of Captain Erie Gabrielson, her com mander. A salute of 13 guns was fired as the Governor and staff wenta!oard the cutter, and the State flag of North Carolina was displayed "at the fore." The Colfax .steamed up York Biver, and then put about and passed all the navy. The marines on guard on board each ship presented arms as t he Colfax parsed. whUe dozens of py glasses were turned upon our State flag w hich floated proudly out at the masthead. On arrival at Norfolk the vessel an chored, another salute of 13 guns was fired' an1 the Pernor went ashore in ti,ne to see thctroo in the parade. , .

This party overtook and captured him about 11 o'clock Sunday morning in a negro cabin Lancaster county, eight miles from the scene of the rape and a mile from the church he had mentioned. ; The prisoner was committed to the charge of a constable and a guard dep utized to escort him to Monroe jail. The negro confessed the crime and it became known. A lynching party of 100 men was organized and the guard despairing of taking the prison er in safety to Monroe, he was hidden from the infuriated people. All Sunday night long the 100 men made search for the concealed ravis'i er. He was found about daylight. It was announced that he would be lynched and by 8:30 o'clock, yesterday morning, a crowd of 22G men, about' 100 of wiiom wero blacks, assembled to witness the execution. Among the crowd were some of the best -citizens of that portion of Union and others from Lancaster county. Edmand Davis is described as a very black and brutal looking negro. He seemed entirely indifferent to his fate, confessed the crime without re serve, and said he was willing to be hanged. , At 9 o'clock h j was hanged within one and a half miles of the scene of the crime of the night before but one. He hung for 40 minute3 and the crowd, ' setisfied that he was quite dead, dispersed, leaving him still hanginy.
