We had heard, - bnt hoped it was

was .very unjustly dealt with I at
Asheville. But there is hardly room
for doubt as all of our Wilmington
boys, and .we suppose also all of the
regiment make the same 5 statement
of bad treatment in the . awarding of
prizes. - We refer to. this merely to
say that if those having charge de-,
sire to break up the whole organiza
tion ". let this sort of ; treatment i be
tried a second time. The Second
fairly won, we ; ' are assured, and
ought to have had the prizes. ' The
sentiment of the Asheville people and
visitors waa easily seeD, and the J
splendid demonstration in beEalf of
the Second more than .paid them for
the injustice done. No other regi
ment received a tithe of the consid
eration that- was extended : to -: the
splendid regiment in ': Gray. - Gen.'
Scales is reported as saying "Boys,
stick to the gray.". We are aston
ished that there could have been any
grounds for heart-burnings and
complaints, and it is to be regretted
that such grounds should have ' ex
isted. ' :' ;

writing, which he knew .was not 'that of
either, Messrs, Powell & Co., or their clerk,
Mr.. Williams, as he. did a great deal of
.business for them and was in the habit of
getting two or three letters a week from
them, ill '-;
CoL Brink, postmaster, testified, identi
fying the money placed in the envelope by
Mr. Newbury in his private office, inclu
ding -a ten - dollar counterfeit note and a
twenty-five cent piece, which was marked
by Col. B. so that he could the more
readily recognize it. He wrote to PowelL
& Co., on Friday, asking if they had sent
such a letter, and on Saturday ' morning
that firm telegraphed that the order was a
forgery and requested the arrest of the
guilty party; but in the meantime he had
been taken into custody by Chief of Police
Brock. ; ;
j Messrs. Campbelf'. and Strathers, post
office clerks, were examined and identified
the prisoner, and Capt. Brock testified as
to the arrest.
n The defence had .but few questions to
ask the witnesses, but brightened up suffi
ciently towards the close of : the examina
tion to put in an order, dated July 31st,
purporting to be signed by Frank Jones,
asking the postmaster to let Owen Richard
son have his mail. He also claimed that
witnesses had heard Frank Jones tell him
to get his mail. One of these alleged wit
nesses (Amelia Bradly, colored,) was put
upon the stand "and swore that the only
Frank Jones she knew was killed on the
railroad some years ago.
.Col. Brink stated that the wdcr signed
Frank Jones was in the same handwriting
as the forgery from Whiteville.
At the close of the investigation the ac
cused was ordered to give bond in the sum
of $200 for his appearance at the next term
of the r U. B. District Court, failing in
which he was sent to jail.

Tne Closing SeeneeTne Second Becl-

-the MUlarTBohnvedf"d5eVVv
We,were! glad to find that our, soldier
boys came back in the best of spirits.' They
did not feel very sore over the manner in
which the competitibn drill resulted. They
were, in a measure content that another reg
iment should carry off the flag, as long as
the brave old Second carried off the honort.
From the time- that the decision was ren-.
dered by the alleged Judges to the time the
boys left i Asheville the i regiment '- was the
recipient of 'ovation after ovation. ; i
It is said to the credit of the Second Reg
iment that while in camp not a single drink
of intoxicating, liquors passed the Jipa of
any' of the men and it Was beUeved jytiat
the same conld be aid of the, other regi
ments. Captain Morrison; gives a good're-
port of the Wilmington Light Infantry.
Their, conduct U "was . most . ; exemplary .
throughout, and he had not a single report
to make against a single man ' in the Com
pany; It was the largest Company in tne
camp and received marked attention. Tbe
caterer for the Company, Mr. J.-R. Lewis,
covered himself with glory and won the
plaudits of alh ...-' . ; n- ; ,i j r, L ; v s -
The Second Regiment was further com
plimented for the manner in which they
conducted themselves' at the close of the
encampment. 1 They came out as they,
went, inheavy marching order and with the
strictest' regard to discipline. j i
The State Guard will never tire of talk-"
ing of the splendid treatment they received
at the hands of the people of Asheville.
Especially is this the case with the Second
Regiment, which was loaded down with
.favors,: , i :;
.Taken altogether, the encampment proved
a source or enjoyment to tne troops, as
well as a benefit in strictly military point of
view,, v The next one, it is thought, will be
held in the eastern part of the State proba
,bl at.Smithvillel The Adjutant General
is said to have remarked that he wanted it
to be as near Wilmington as possible. !
:" ' CLOSING SCEHES. : ;
The Asheville Citizen of Thursday con
tained the following complimentary items:
'The 2nd Regiment, of the Guard was
alone in camp this morning. At 10 o'clock
tne tents were struck, and tne Kegiment
marched into town and stacked arms in
the Asheville Warehouse. The citizens of
the city proposed to give the Regiment a
dinner. The Colonel announced the offer
to the Resiment, and it was accepted with
cheers. The Eagle, Swannanoa, and the
Grand Central were the hotels to which
the men were' assigned in detachments of
fifties. The boys are visiting' all points of
the city. They dined at the different ho
iels at from 1 :30 to 3 :30 o'clock. At 3 :45
o'clock the Regiment was - formed in the
warehouse and the troops proceeded to the
depot and will leave on the 6 o'clock train.
Great enthusiasm was manifested by the
soldiers' and responded to in the liveliest
manner by the citizens large numbers of
whom witnessed tne march to tne . ware
house. The people visited the warehouse
where the arms were stacked in large num
bers. When the Regiment had stacked
arms three cheers were given for CoL W.
C. Jones of the Regiment, Adjutant Gen
eral Jones, Col. Black of the U. S. Army,
Dr. Carmichael, ' Chaplain of the Regi
ment, and E. T. Boy kin, Judge Advocate.
The boys say that Asheville cannot be ex
celled for hospitality. They will remember'
their kind reception and. treatment for
many days. '
"This morning a little before 10 o'clock
the familiar and inspiring sound of the
drum and fife was heard; and then the
head of the column of the splendid
2nd Regiment ..turned into Court House
Square. The column was preceded by
General Jones and hia staff, and by
its Colonel and staff officers, mounted;
the' music, the simple fife and drum, and
the men (in marching order, knapsacks
slung; and the muzzles of , many guns
were decked with : sun : flowers or bou
quets of. other flowers. Half -wheeling
into the Square, the rear of the column
resting - on ' Patton : Avenue, the column
was halted, the, head opposite the Citizen
office. At this point three cheers were
proposed and given 'with rousing' energy
for the gallant Colonel W. C. Jones; and
then Major Campbell, of Company A., the
Fayetteville Light Infantry, with a very
complimentary, introduction, .proposed,
three cheers for Colonel John D. Cameron

the affairs of the State Guard, and to the
