The Military.
The incidents at. Camp William Mc
Ru yesterday were unimportant, nntil
4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, when the
battalion marched to St. John's Churchy
where special services were held, con
ducted by Rev. Dr. Carmichael, the
ChaDlain of tho regiment. These were
interc fing and. enlindy appropriate to
the occasion. The pervice9 being con
eluded the ba'talion returned to camp,
accompanied by a large number of citi
zens, who largely awe led the throng
that had been there nearly NaU day.
After the usual dress parade, the Samp
son Guards began omake preparations
for their departuro for home on last
u ght'a train. This was the cccasion for
many hearty expressions of kindly re
gard ar:d hearty good will on tho part of
their comrades. At the appointed hour
the Guards led the camp where they
had passed so many pleasant hours and
t ok up iheir line of march lor Front
street depot. !ol!wed by tho good
wishes of all, and iccompanied -by a
large number of their civilian friends,
who were bound to see them fairly off
Arriving at the depot the soldiers at
once embarked upon the cars and were
soon ll iuif at railroad speed towards
home and friends, where wo trust they
arrived without accident or vexations
delay. Tbo Guards are a fine body of
men, soldierly in their bearing and gen
ilcmanly in their conduct, and are an
honor to the grand bid county which
they represent.
The three other companies remained
in camp all night, where they had a
small taste of the rough side ot a
soldier's lite in the wiod that blew ard
the rain that fell. Although the weather
was anything but agreeable, the soldier
boys, with a philosphy worllTy. ot com"
mendation, made the hours pass as
pleasantly as possible.
Etriy this morning the Maxton
Guards broke camp and marched in
the rain to the Carolina Central depot,
where they were soon on board the
cars and whirling along towards their
homes. At about 9 o'clock this fore
noon the Fayetteville Independent
Light Iniantry also broke camp and
marched to the steamer Capz Fear,
upon which they snon embarked, and
at about noon started on their home
ward trip. With the departure of the
latter company the camp was deserted
ot the soldiery, and our city returned to
its normal coudition, oeople resuming
their ordinary avocutions, which had
been somewhat interrupted.
The encampment has proven a mosi
decided success, and too much praise
cannot be given our Light Infantry for
the happy manner in which all the ar
rangements were made and executed.
There was no turbulence, no unusual
d sordei.and, in face, theeilire battal
ion was characterized by gentlemanly
deportment, as well as soldierly bear
ing, and reflected honor and credit on
the North Carolina Stale Guard.

The closing examination of the
pupils of Hemenway Graded School
took place this forenoon. The weather
was vtry unfavorable, notwithstanding
which there was a large number of
ladies and gentlemen piosant to witness
the exercises, and all were deeply in
terested. The recitations, by the differ
ent classes, were promptly and correct
ly given and with a gratifying spirit of
pride, which showed to good advantage
the ambition of the pupils to advance
in the acquirements ot knowledge. As
the benefits of these schools are belter
understood, and as the methods of im
parting instruction to the pupils
is more fully known. much
of the prejudice which at QDe
time obtained regarding thm has been
cast aside, and many who were former
ly opposed to the system are now its
warmest and most earnest advocates
All having authority in the matter of
our publie schoo's -the school commit
tee, superintendent, principal and
teachers are earnest and faithful
workers in the cause with which they
are entrusted, and i bo result is shown
by Bchools ot a high order of merit that
are an honor to the city. Prof. Noble
is an active and indefatigable worker,
and his earnest zeal in the cause finds
faithful and cheerful co-operation. with
the teachers over whom he has super
vision.
