NOTES OF OUR BRETHREN, Some GleanlBKB from ilie Notices In Oar North Carolina Exchanges ou the Late Press Convention. - We have made extracts previously from the Raleigh Jfeics. Since! then other notices of the Press Convention! recently held in this city have come to hand. ' The Wadesboro Argu declares its editor couldn't take notes, so busy was he in par taking the hospitalities of the i city, extended by both Jew and Gentile: Dr. Harllee, who writes the account, is enthusiastic over the visit" We tegret that we cannot 'copy por tions of his report. - Our j space will render it necessary for ' us to condense all of the comments very inuch. 4 The Wadesboro Herald says: " The State of North Carolina has cause to be proud of her metropolis in more ways than one.' Nestled in and among the beau tiful trees that line every streeUn the city, with the majestic Cape Fear,1 dotted with the ships of almost every nation, flowing past its doors, with the ocean so near that the roar of the surf may sometimes be heard, and above all with a hospitable, energetic, go-ahead people it forms one of the most delightful places of residence to be found anywhere in this broad land. In the winter season there is a salubrity in its climate, and in Bummer the delightful ocean breezes which fan the city day and night bring with them the healthful aroma of the pine, gath ered from the forests through which they pass from the sea to the city. The Hillsboro Recorder edited by Major John W. Cameron, remarks that "Wilming ton still retains its reputation for beauty, and the daughters of old Sweethearts in my eyes did no discredit to their mothers. As a matter of obligation incumbent upon my new position as President of the Association I did what I have not done these many years I engaged in the dance, and, with the pleasantest of partners, it was not hard todan - : r. . n. "Three cheers for our little city near the sea," cries reverend brother Wilson of the Kinston Gazette. Why "little ?" The Warrenton Gazette has a half column editorial brief from which we copy: " On Wednesday morning, the editors, in com pany with many invited! guests, boarded the splendid steamer, . RaleigJl? sent down from Baltimore for their special use, and proceeded down the historic Cape Fear to the Ocean. On the way. Forts Fisher, Cas well, Smithville and other places of interest were visited. About 3 o'clock the prow of the aoble steamer was turned homeward, and soon after the company was, invited to a splendid champagne dinner. Gov. Vance, Congressman Waddell, Capt. Maffitt, of the Confederate Navy, and many of the edi tors delivered handsome: and' appropriate speeches. Dinner lasted i from 3 o'clock until sunset, and the best! of good fellow ship prevailed. Thursday morning the As sociation met in the TJ. Si Court Rooni, and after transacting Its unfinished business, electing officers and listening to the address of James Baron Hope, Esq.; editor of the Norfolk Landmark, adjourned, and accept ed an invitation to visit' the Produce Ex change, where we were heartily welcomed with speeches, champagne and other deli cacies. In the afternoon a special train was placed at, the disposal of the. editors, and they visited the Navassa Guano Works, situated about two miles from the city. After inspecting the works and seeing the process of guano making, CoL Fremont, the President, invited his guests to partake of champagne, wine and, cake. .Thursday night the festivities and business of the oc casion were closed by one of the grandest balls perhaps ever given in the State.
