The" State Guard is a good school
for the volunteer st)ldier. The men
are fitted there to command as wel1

WILMINGTON, C. WEDNESDAY, JULY 125,
Monument to Mrs. Greenbow.
The LadiesMemprial Association
have erected a monument at Oak
dale to Mrs. Greenhow, whose un
fortunate death while in the service
ot trie Confederate government willor Col. W. L. DeRosset. Cos. . A,
be remembered.- Capt.W. H. Bixby j Fayetteviile Independent Light
has perpetually'endo wed the.lot for Infantry; Bt Lumber Bridge Light
care-taking. Some of Mrs. Green ;
how's relatives, who live in Charles
ton, wrote here when they heard that
a monument was to be erected to
her and offered to pay for it but
the ladies told them that it was not
a matter of charity, but of love and
duty, and so the monument was
erected by them.
Why They Were Not Mounted.
There 4 general regret expressed
over the fact "that the Scotland
Neck Mounted' Riflemen could not
appear in the saddle at the parade
yesterday afternoon. The citizens
of Wilmington responded very gen-j
erously to the, demand upon them
and Capt. Southerland had been
notified of 70 horses which were at
Capt. Anthony's disposal. When it
was known that the parade had
been abandoned the owners of these
horses were notified that they would
not be needed and hence they could
not be had for the parade. It wasja
'great disappointment to all.
Two Fine Displays.
The last time we paw a thousand
armed and uniformed men parade
the streets of Wilmington was when
the 18th N. C. Regiment was order"
ed up from Fort Fisher to ero to
Coosawhatchie, S. C. There were
aoout as many men in tnat regi
ment then as there were in the en
tire brigade yesterdav afternoon,
But there wasn'tinuch holiday sol
diering about it. We believe the
Yankee troops paraded here some
times after they got possession of
WilminsrtOn but we were not on
hand to see them.
- Our Own Boys.
The people of Wilmington have
always been proud of their gallant
home company; proud of it in the
past and 'proud. of It in the present
They had cause for their admira
tion yesterday. Their appearance
inline was simply splendid. They
looked like soldiers, every inch of
every man, and their new uniforms,
with the nodding horse-hair plumes,
attracted and held the eyes of all
Their marching was superb and no
body nas ever seen a company
marching by the front wheel better
than they did as they turned from
Market into Front street.
The Military Parade.
The most beautiful and pleasing
site ever seen on the streets of Wil
mington ( next to the throngs of
pretty girls, arrayed Jn white, who
parade our thoroughfares every af
ternoon) was the display made yes
terday by the State Guard. The
martial music, tne brilliant uni
forms, the nodding plumes and the
glittering arms and accoutrements
of our 1,200 citizen soldiers made up
a sight which will not soon be for
gotten by those who were so fortu
nate as to behold it.
The brigade, which debarked at
Tenth and Market and Tenth and
Princess streets, did not appear un
til nearly 7 o'clock, and thousands
had been waiting in the streets for
hours for its appearance. It was
not far from that hour when the
headS of the column appeared in
sight on the brow of the hill at the
corner of Fourth and Market streets.
On they came, marching by . the
front, with the bands of the respec
tive regiments in front, stepping in
perfect order and perfect time.
They were greeted - with cheers all
along the line of march and in the
business quarters of the city it was
with difficulty that the enthusiastic
crowds could be kept back to the
space assigned them. Adjutant
General Jones was in command and
the line was accompanied by many
of the Governor's staff, mounted,
and in brilliant uniforms. The Guard
marched in brigade order, the First
Fourth, Third and Second Regi
ments appearing in the order nam
ed.. The Governor, with some of
his aides, was on the balcony of the
Orton House and reviewed the col
umn as it passed him. The march
was made to the freight depot, on
Nutt street, where there was more
room for the men than at Front
Street depot, where the arms were
stackea and a respite from duty was
allowed before the time came for
the return to camp.

Th First Regiment is the only
one that had a ambulance corps in
the parade yesterday.
One of the officers of the First
Regiment lost the chain from his
hehnet during the parade yesterday.
The finder will please leave it at
this office, v
Capt. Black, of Co. E, Maxton
Guards, Second Regiment, is en
titled to the credit of having initia
ted the movement for the parade
here. He was the first man to take
the matter up and urge that action
on the part of the companies which
succeeded in having the paracfe or
dered. A large sea turtle was in camp to
day and was vie, wed with much cu"
riosity bp those who had never be
fore seen. one of the kind..
The health of the men in camp
continues very gratifying and all ex
press their delight at this fact.
There are less complaints than there
were in camp at Asheville.
The Second was out in regimental
drill this morning and they were
highly complimented.
The Second Regiment moved up
to the train at Wrightsville yester
day afternoon in single file and in
two minutes the men were all on
board and reported ready to move.
The pavilion and the hotel at the
Hummocks are now lighted by gas.
As the time draws near to break
camp the boys all express regrets
that they are to go and many say
that they would be willing to stay
another ten days. ' -
It is generally conceded that the
next Encampment will be held at
Wrightsville, if the wishes of the
officers and men are consulted. It
was intended to hold a meeting to
day for ratifying the report of the
committee appointed yesterday, but
it was not considered necessary, as
there seems to be a ; unanimous en
dorsement of Camp Fender.
The troops 'will" break camp on
Friday, and leave us on that day.
To morrow is the last of the regular
encampment.
There is to be a tub race at the
Hummocks this afternoon between
Messrs. C. E. Croom, George Barker
and Archie Marines.

uni-
forms in the parade yesterday after
