The presentation took place at the residence of one of our prominent Jewish fellow citi izens, where the Governor had" gone -to spend the evening. A number of ladies and gentlemen, among the latter several members of the Press Convention were present The presentation was made by I Mr. Chas. L. Weill in a few appropriate remarks. The Governor upon receiving the gift responded in his usual felicitous and ijappy styJe. On one side of the cane were I the words "From the Jewish Youth of I -. . I I Wilmington," on the other 'Z. B.

Perhaps our readers may like a report of to-day's proceedings; and, by way of pre face, we may confidently assert, as one of the humblest Quills in the great army of ink- slingers, and after much observation-, (hat earth hath few sadder spectacles than a party of editors on a frolic . They are so overworked, and so underpaid; their ener gies are so constantly on? the, stretch; they are so accustomed to doting out brains by the line,-heart by the square, and digestion by the column; they are so put to it re vamping worn out ideas,! racking memory. making old thoughts look almost as well as new, spurring jaded imagination, and pumping universal thunder, that, when a day of wholesome recreation does come, they are as awkward as be Gargery in his bunday clothes. It is .not easy to realize that the galling harness is indeed off: And they find it difficult to shake off that air of deskism which smacks of the sanctum sanc torum. A poor, battered battalion of artil lery horses, after the painsof a long (exhaust ive) campaign after standing month after month iu the forefront jof battle by day and munching month after month, dry thistles by night, if all at! once turned into a clover field, can scarce realize the change. The whole sweet prospect may be a dream to be dissolved by thestirring trumpet call. It may be a vision such as often flits before the failing sight of dying men such, for example, as caused poor old Sir John to play with the flowers and babble of green fields. Anon, however, he sweet, alluring incense creeps into thebrsenses, the sap be gins to circulate in their dry bones, their mouths fill with sympathetic water and they return mechanically to the long-forgotten barnyard pranks.' But alas! their gambols are no longer graceful j and natural stiff and formal, rather lik the friskings of a work bench. Their neighings lack the hot passion of cnlthood, and their pawings too feebly express the impatience of the free spirit.- This is the general rule, only stated here for the sake of this exception, for we can truly say with regard to our trip, though the recreation was out of the ordinary, that a merrier set "within the limits of becom ing mirth" it has not been our hap to sail - . . ! j ' i ' . witnai. uur numoer was variously estima ted from ISO to 200, including all ages, con- ditious and shades of opinion. There were usury men, anti-usury! men-Democrats, Whigs, Republicans and political eunuchs -iu one grand social gathering blent. There were men who had wielded the in strument mightier than the sword for years, and who had all the topics of conversation and thought at their fingers' ends. And there were those "who, had never fed on the dainties that are bred in a book, had never ate paper, as it were, nor drunk ink." The breeze, coming straight up the river, was ircsn ana jinvigoraung. . juo quent tongues caused the winged hours to flypast with anecdote", and witty toasts, and stinging repartee, j The Cornet Band quite surpassed itself, and, after many stir ring airs, rendered 4Tne Old North State" in a way that made the pulse beat high. The season was propitious, and the weather. The full green foliage .of advanced spring swept the waters on either hand, i All the glad surroundings kept up the enthusiasm; and more than one ; of our party in fluenced by the "ice Water" and the "gen eral blessedness," lifted! up their voices with that old yell familiar on every battle field from Sharpsbuijg to what-you-may-f callem, and as we neared the inlet, and heard, for the first time, "the multitudi nous laughter of the ocean billows" some sentimental t Western j man recurring fondly to friends and sacred home, burst -forth:" with vthat : touching ditty, " Fare you well, "my! Liza Jane," which was applauded to the? echo. The singer, being a Granger, then' repaired to what he called the agricultural department, viz; where the lemons, mint, rye and barley most obtained; and, being introduced to Maj. Malone, insisted jipon addressing him . V . . . in another joyous song as sweet winow Malone." He then insisted upon hugging our gallant Captain, whose Falstaffian pro- portions made it necessary to ride and tie," or hug half way round and then begin anew. We passed within full view of Fisher, and many a soldier who had there done duty shouldered his crutch and showed how the old thing " went up." Arriving at Smithville, we stopped, an hour, and it was a sight to cause an .overflow of uric acid in a man of Senator Anthony's kidney to wit I ness the cloriou intermingling of the Blue I i Ti.-t TiihnQiii When the 1 1 1 1 1 I I 111! 1 1 r ) Hb A , . v-. a earner touched ex-0onfederate colonels. lieutenant-colonels, majors, captains, lieu tenants, privates, anq even commissaries and other non-combatants (who cherish hate longest) sprang wildly ashore, and such another greeting with; the officers and sol diers of the garrison has not been seen since the grand arms-stacking at Appomattox. They were soon shaking hands,, not across the bloody chasm, but over steaming bump ers of pop skull, or toddy, or cock-tail or, for the weaker brethren, gentle lemonade. The Colocel of the post and many of his officers joined our party, and they soon ex pressed a desire to meet and , know our honored Governor,- a ' desire : im- WILMINGTON, mediately gratified ; and - we hope we abuse no confidence when we tell that they drank together, the Governor of fering as a little impromptu toast: "The Blue and the Grey; let them remain sepa rate they can beat each other join them together, they can whip all creation, and a part' of South Boston." It is but just to remark that when asked to join them in a willie-waugbt for Auld Lang Syne, he said : "Gentlemen, I must drink with several of you at a time; it is impossible to take you one at a time, for I must economize my self;" and, as they all drew a long breath after the dose, he said with a sly twinkle of the eye--"She'g-gone: that's pretty re spectable whiskey, De mottuis nil nisi bo nwi.' " Several of our boys then urged the United States officers to ask the Gov: ernor how he left Newborn. He replied : "I went out on foot part of the - way I fought, part of the way I ran, part of the way I swam, and thenl ran again." Being introduced to the Surgeon, of the Post, he conversed awhile as to the dignity of the profession, and euded up with stating that physicians are even highly complimented in the Scriptures; "for," said, he, "King Asa fell sick, and called not on the Lord, but on the physician; and he slept with his fathers which, by the way, is a good enough place to sleep. (The present hum ble pen does not vouch for the orthodoxy of this Scripture.) "And to quote from sec ular history, when Pope Adrian died, it was so satisfactory to the Roman people, that, the night after his decease, they adorned the floor of his chief physician with trarlauds, addiug this inscription: "To the deliverer of his country." But we must hurry on. . We weent only a short distance out to sea hardly far enough to stir the bile. One Western gentleman-conspicuous, on the forward deck, by his weak hams and knees of ' "true, in wardness" who had provided himself, as was m et meet, with a linen duster for the voyage and sported a highly polished camp kettle bat, and who, assuming a swaggering nautical air, discoursed learnedly on winds, and waves,, and currents, and the dread dangers of the vasty deep, was suddenly observed to assume a sort of softness, then a greenness, thejp a shakiness, and as the gentle rise and fall of the billows continued he took firm hold of the rim of his bread basket, his beautiful brown eyes rolled back till they presented only a dirty white, and staggering to the rail he incontinently ren dered up his stomach, while the old "churn" fell from his head and lurched into the scuppers, where it clung, in its humiliation, the general receptacle for all stray slops. The patient needed not to be told that the grim king of nautical terrors had him fast As a matter of economy and to avoid loss, dinner was not served till the sea trip i was over, liui alter Dassmz omiuivuie on as orj our retarnihediviiieaffl4iu of dinner beiran to .

A solemn stillness fell o'er all the crotvd. Eyes glistened, and grew ten der, and : finally swelled i in their: sockets; knives and forks flew fast and furious. On the foreheads of the guests the veins began to rise, swelling through sympathy, with the unusual pressure in the alimentary canal. The swallowing was rapid and visible A gentle perspiration stood in beads upon every manly brow. The sound of the grind ers was high; the breathing hard, , and alt nature gave unmistakable signs that she was getting the worth of her money. The old Scotch song rose involuntarily to our mind as we gazed along the line of battle: "See how it runs down his gizzard, His gizzard, his gizzard. After the solids had been disposed of the "liquid damnation" strolled in, and the toasts and responses began, which we can only notice briefly: ' ": ' -1st regular toast Our ; Guestsrof the Press : So long as their great engine is kept in order the machinery, of free gpyernment will continue to run smooth." .Replied tO'Ty-Mr. Williamson, of the Tarboro Southerner, in a few weJJ consid ered remarks.

Vance made one of his happiest efforts full of hope for our future, and of sound historical evidence as to our claims to , revolutionary .honors. Gov. Vance spoke as a loving, patriotic, learned son of the Old North State, of her virtues aud her faults, and the gist of his re marks will be long remembered by those who were so fprtunate as to be present, i 8rd. toast "The Eastern and "Western parts of our State: May the iron links which bind them together be multiplied, and the bond of affection which unites their people continually increase in strength." Mr. Malone; of. the Ashevule Expositor, delivered a speech in response to this which should be sent to every part of bur State, so replete was it with sound advice, and vigor ous, earnest thought. It contained .seeds of philosophy which shall yet spring up and bear good fruit for our posterity. ; He spoke most eloquently of our mutual dependence and the vital necessity, for: perfect union'. 4tbU&aMi Our Senators and Repre nentatives in Congress: North.

Responded to by Mr. Hanix, of taeNjt li bera Times. He courteously acknowledged our hospitality, spoke of our growing im portance as a sea port, and our advan tages as a depot for the Western part of the State, but good naturedly reminded us that Newbern, although silent before.

In resnse to this Mr. VanBokkelen traced the commerce of Wilmington from its fee ble beginnings to its present development. supplying, as it now. does, by direct ex portation, seven-eighths of the naval stores shipped to foreign ports, He called atten tion to one sad feature in our business af fairs, which is that all breadstuifs which should be "produced within our own bor dersas they were to a considerable extent before the war are now. imported from Northern j ports.. ; He- earneslljandjl queutlv urged upon our Western .brethren to make every man a producer, and to see to it that ail nr energies and industries were fully developed , before we begin to spend money in railroads.

Wilmington Cotton , Mills, , when our people could find good, safe 25 per cent stuck in which to invest their money and thus keep it at home; when we should cease to be hewers of wood and drawers of wa ter, and should take our place among the energetic and enterprising communities of the World. His speech was eminently prac tical and SuggestiveL fa-t -n v;j Mr. VanBokkelen was followed by Capt. Maffitt who, in response to repeated calls, came forward and gave, in an informal way, a history of the steamer Florida, in the course of which he paid a most hand some tribute to his Lieut, Stribling, " one of the noblest and truest christians who ever lived,1 and he also gave a precious scrap of secret history concerning the sink ing of the Florida, which must have a more extended notice than is permitted us . here. The simple story of his trials drew tears from men not used to the melting mood, and will not soon be forgotten by North Caroliniansto whom he paid, in conclud ing,' a most handsome tribute.

MAY 13, 1875; l4,4, Itp. M, Celebration.. ,. ; A grand celebration of St Tamina'a pay by four Tribes of the Improved Order of Red Men took place in this city yesterday. Shortly after 3 o'clock the Tribes, together with the Apollo Cornet Band, assembled at Wyoming Wigwam, on Princess street, and the procession was formed under command of Marshal P. T. Dicksey in the following order: : . ..... i - Leading Chief. Apollo Band. s " pocahontas Tribe. ," '"Pee Dee Tribe." ': 't ; i j t : .Black Hawk Tribe. , -' ' j .Wyoming Tribe; ' ' Officers of the Various Tribes. ' Indian figure borne' on a. wagon drawn by two horses ea each side of which the chiefs of each tribe .fluT marched.T , Vice Great Incohonee in a carriage,' i The procession presented ah; exceedingly creditable appearance. "Indian tomahawks and clubs 'were borne in the ranks as the insignia of the various officers, recalling in the mind ' of the spectators the : history of the tribes of the West ' A unique feature of the procession1 was the bronze - Indian figure upon a wagon drawn by four houses, which were appropriately caparisoned. The figure among the moss and evergreens rep resented the noble red man as if again upon his native hills with eye upon the alert and arms ready for action. v... j TEelSpolId Cornet IJand beaded the pro cession and discoursed excellent music. After the formation of the procession the following line of march was observed i' Up Princess to second, down Second to Mar ket, down Market to Front, up Front, to Red Cross, up Red Cross to Fourth, out Fourth to Pocahontas Wigwam (Brooklyn Hall), where refreshments were served up. Here a very pleasant time was had by the Red Men and their friends over a copious supply of "fire-water" which was appro priately, flanked bjf subsantiais. Several toasts were proposed and heartily respond ed to, and much good cheer prevailed. The order of march was then given and the pro cession started again on the " war path, " traversing most of the principal streets of the city. On arriving at the City Hall, Mr. Richard Grant, of Wyoming Tribe, made a neat speech of welcome, which was replied to by Mr. W. A. Gibbs, of Pee Dec Tribe. Mr. W, P, McMahon V. G. I.,' then deliv ered a very interesting historical discourse upon the origin of the Order of Improved Red Men, after which the procession dis banded to meet again" with their guests at the ball." The bali was an exceedingly en joyable affair and was kept up until the " wee sma' hours." The occasion passed off very pleasantly and in a highly credit able manner to the Order. ' Address of Welcome. - Col. W. L. DeRosset, President of the Chamber of Commerce - yesterday on the excursion, made the following address of welcome to the members of the Press Asso ciation to whom the excursion had been tendered: - V . -'! ; Gentlemen: Aa . representing the com mercial interests of our city, through its Chamber of Commerce the pleasant : duty has been assigned me of welcoming our guests on this occasion; which I heartily tender you in good old uape Fear-- style. We visit to-day locations of historic . in terest from the earliest days of our coun try. On this river the first open resistance to tyranny was made, in the refusal on the part our citizens to comply with, the terms of the odious Stamp Act, in which they were eminently successful. And in subse quent scenes of national interest, the Cape Fear, was fully and honorably represented. In our late unsuccessful war for independ ence this port was the main artery of the Confederacy which, when secured, quickly brought our brightest hopes to an end. Here you see around you many points of interest in Forts Caswell, Holmes, Camp bell, Anderson; Buchanans and last, but not least, Fisher of glorious memory; the only stroneboid ol the Uoniederacy over whelmingly attacked that never surrender ed but was carried by the bayonet; f We welcome you, gentlemen of the press, most cordially. Your valuable aid heretofore given in securing the aid of the general Government in restoring our Harbor to its original capacity is graciously "acknowl edged, and your continued efforts in its be half is asked for. Less than a century since, ships of 1,500 tons, drawing 18 or 20 feet of water safely entered our Port; later we were' reduced to a capacity of 12. feet; now thanks to the successful efforts Of the Engineers, we have 17 feet and may reasonably expect .that by the completion of the system adop'ed .we shall have a Port equal in capacity to any demand which may be made upon us. anu 'with the assistance pf capitalists!
