They are breaking camp and to-day will find them well on their journey homeward. Wil mington's citizens, both male and female, have shed a halo around our city by their care and consideration for these North Carolina heroes. Wilmington. in her palmiest days,"never performed a more beautiful work she has sent glad ness to the hearts of the heroes and has Shown them that our city by the sea is still proud of such sons, whether they first saw the light of day under the shadows of Mount Mitchell or were lulled to sleep by the roar of old ocean. I John T. ;Patrick Vconceived this pro ject. He had only to mention it to Col, Hall to secure its being put into shape. The railroads were appealed to and they cheerfully gave ree transportation; while to the noble women of this city is gue the entertainment of the veterans and the successful fruition of this great est of Christian duties.

This is a mistake and should be corrected. Tne State furnished the tents, but the "rations" were furnished by the people of Wilmington. The watermelons donated by Hon. C. W. McClammy for the benefit of the "cnppledest cripple in camp realized $26.50. The money was given to the veteran who bad lost both legs. A PLEASANT DAY IN CAMP. VETERANS AND PENSIONERS HAVING A GOOD TIME. Many Lady Visitors-Feasting and Pun "The Camp Formally Opened Meeting of the Disabled Veterans' Association . Yesterday's Arrivals-A Badge Fre ' ented Col. H. D. Hall. ." Yesterday morning was cloudv. but the weather otherwise was all that could be desired. The men had, a good break fast 'and then gathered about camp in groups to renew acain memories of th war, to meet and cordially greet the new arrivals and to make the morning hours oass as Dleasantlv and rMhiw as possibly. . A BLIND MUSICIAN " was in the camp with a small melodeon, with which he accompanied his voice in several sones of a . sacred character. He was possessed of a good tenor voice which would have' been "quite rich and sweet had he not indulged at times in so much of the nasal tone in his effort. As h was, he had a good many listeners and picked up quite a ; pile of nickels from the music-loving veterans for his performance. During the forenoon many of the soldiers paid a visit to Wilmington, while a much larger portion went over to Ocean View to enjoy such pleasures as might be found there. Thev all seemed DBLIGHTED WITH THE CAMP and were especially gratified at the kind and cordial treatment they had received on every hand. The morning train carried to camp an abundance of good commissary stores, so that the veterans had no excuse for being hungry. Between 400 and 500 rations axe issued every day, and it is all of an excellent quality, and no one need go hungrytmtess he is a most fas tidious epicurian, whose dainty appetite cannot be satisfied without the aid of the dozen courses of a first class me tropolitan hotel table, with plenty of servants to do his bidding. These are not the sort of men in Camp Fowle and, consequently, there was no grumbling and every one had all he wanted, of a kind that was good enough for anybody. Next in point of importance to the commissary department is that of the quartermaster, and the next most im portant duty has been that of Capt. Cazaux in providing good and comfort able quarters for the men. This he has accomplished almost to perfection. The tents are in excellent order, board floors have been laid to keep the sleep ers from the dampness of the ground, and good rice straw in all of them, so that the veterans slept as soundly, com fortably and sweetly,- comparatively, as if they were at home and upon their own home-made beds. In fact, there Is no default in the quartermaster's department, and nothing lacking to make the veterans comfortable so far as their tented homes are concerned The banjo player was in his element during the morning hours as seated on spare dining table he sang and played a great number of camp and marching songs, some of which were full of pathos while others were ludicrously funny. He demanded a nickel for every song he sung, and as he was himself a veteran, he was well patronized and his pockets were made considerably heavier by coming to Camp Fowle to attend the re-union of the Confederate veterans. Surgeon General Holliday having been called home on account of a case of sickness, Dr. J. F. Harrell, of White- ville, was appointed Surgeon in charge of the camp yesterday morning. He at once assumed the duties of the position. which is equivalent to saying that all those needing medical attention will be promptly and efficiently cared for. There was, however, but very little sick ness in camp, and the few cases needing medical attention were slight in charac ter. There were but three or four cases yesterday, none of which was serious,. . LADIES IN CAMP. Quite a number of ladies visited camp yesterday during the day, and made the veterans feel that if they had become old and gray they were not forgotten nor forsaken by the fair sex. Mrs. E. Warren, the popular confectioner, was one of the visitors and she made herself especially agreeable by announcing that she would send to camp to-day five gallons of ice cream and a cake as her contribution to the veterans. It is needless to say that her kind and gen erous offer was gladly and gratefully ac cepted, and if the fact had been general ly known throughout the camp lusty old throats would have cheered her to the echo. She wore a Confederate badge that eclipsed all we saw during the day, being composed of a number of old Contederate DanK Dins, as a remma- er of old times. At 10 a. m. the following proceedings were held: Camp Fowle. Tuly 30, 1891. According to annvuncement, W. H Hamilton, Chairman Disabled Veterans' Association, called the Association to order, there being present about 450 members, and read the following, which was adopted: report of the state executive com MITTEE. Fellow Comrades The : delegates in convention assembled in Raleigh in January, 1891. eiectea a committee with instructions to do all in their power to establish a small home for disabled Con federate soldiers, :and make it self-sup- nortincr: also, mane arrangements ior an annual reunion of the maimed and dis abled veterans of She State. As chair- mon rtT immi i iiiiiiiiillcc. a. iiavv, s.lai. pleasure of reporting to you what has i hoon arrrvmnnsnea. Your committee were Invited to be present on the 10th of May, 1889, to at tend a meeting of the Veterans' Associ ation of this State." As chairman of the committee I attended the meeting. It was presided over by Hon. J. S. Carr, a mntleman well known in the State of North Carolina, and President of the Association, one who has done much to relieve the sufferings of the old Con- ferrate soldiers. That commit tee desired to know the plans that - the Pensioners' Association oronosed to carry out. I stated to them that our purpose was to estab lish a small place, and that we proposed by the cultivation of the land to make it as near self-sustaimn&r as oossible. and that we proposed'to have ajf annual en campment oi one week, so that all maimed and disabled soldiers and veter ans of the late war might - assemble an nually and enjoy the pleasure of meet ing old comrades." - I stated to the com mittee that there would be no conflict whatever with the effort thev were making to establish a large Soldiers' Home in the capital citv of this State. That we would not in anyway solicit aid that would interferefith - their work; the aid that we solicited would be from our own ranks, so as not to conflict with the Veteran Organization. Of course the amounts contributed have been small; we, however, did not expect dut. uttie irom each of our Comrades, unsolicited aid was tendered bv some veterans of the Union army. A brave enemy never retains malice. As North Carolinians we are Droud that the Home is established in Raleigh, unaer tne cnarge ot the noble , veterans, Will Stronach, J. S. Carr. and others. t is. in such condition and is managed in such a way that your committee ieel that it is only necessary for us to carry out but one of the features we had in view when we lormed the Pensioners' Association; that feature is the annual encampment . of disabled soldiers and veterans whose ; pleasure it is to enter camp with us. This feature is of much importance, as all the dis abled soldiers and veterans may enjoy one week during each year, and we hope that such an interest . may be aroused in the annual encampment as will guarantee an annual gathering so long as there may remain a half dozen of the old soldiers this side of the beyond, where there are no more scant meals and ragged clothes for the weary old Confederate soldiers; and the work so far accomplished m this direction is encouragingrand with the co-operation of Gov. Holt. Col. Hall, Mr. J. S, Carr. win atronacn, Dr. banderlin, Mr. D. W. Bam, Major J. C. Winder, Col. A. B. Andrews, H. Walters and other men of influence and means, we leel that the success of the gatherings are sure. x our committee suggest that a com mittee of two pensioners in each town-, ship in every county in the State be ap pointed to secure signers to a petition to be presented to the next General Assembly, asking for an increase of the pension appropriation.' We feel that the prosperity of the State justifies an increase, and that it is nothing but right that those men who went forth at the State's command and were disabled should have at least sixty dollars per annum, which is barely enough to feed and scantily clothe one person. We also suggest that the said committee meet in the city of Raleigh on Wednesday of the third week after the convening of the General Assembly and present the petitions, and also use their influence in securing the promise of aid from their Senators' and Representatives before they assemble in session in Raleigh in 1893. - Our comrade, Mr. E. F. Fenton, has been specially active. To him we are indebted lor the idea oi the convention which asked for the increase of pension, and also for the suggestion of holding the annual encampment. Through his special efforts, articles that we now have on hand, were secured, which articles have been either sold or preserved. A part of them we propose to turn over to the Home in Raleigh. we ieel that as large a pension as is possible should be given the disabled soldiers of North Carolina, so they can remain with their families. It is a very hard thing to be separated from home and friends, even to go to a refuge as well kept as that in Raleigh. We are under obligations to many friends in this State, among whom is Mr. J . T. Patrick. . Your committee cannot speak too highly of the valuable services rendered by this gentleman, whom we requested to be our trustee. He aided greatly in bringing about the convention in 1889, by obtaining transportation for the delegates, he did all the necessary clerical work, spent his own money in printing and postage. rie has carried out the wishes and in structions of your committee, he has paid every incidental expense including postage and also for every dollars worth of printing we have done tor two years, which amounts to much, as more than ten thousand circulars have been print ed and sent out 1 at our request. Our fund has not been used for a single ex pense, rellow comrades, 1 am. sure you will appreciate the services he has rendered, for we ieel that without his aid the convention would not have been held, and we think through the influence of the convention the pension appro priation was increased. Mr. Patrick was a mere child when we were enduring the hardships and pleasures of camp life, but we feel that his heart goes out to us, and though he is a most untiring worker for the development of Worth Carolina, yet we know that he does not forget us old veterans. rt anordsyour committee pleasure to call attention to the services rendered by Col. E. D. Hall, Adjutant General of the encampment. In the convention of 1889 he introduced resolutions which were passed unanimously. The Legis lature enacted into law the substance ol the resolutions. The disabled veterans are very much indebted to him for the pleasure oi meeting in reunion to-aay, - . . ... I again repeat, wc are indebted to J. S. Carr. Will Stronach, Dr. G. W Sanderlin, and other gentlemen of North Carolina for their efforts in establishing the Soldier's Home in Raleigh, where a number of our disabled comrades have found comfortable quarters lor the re-; mainder of their lives. j . These gentlemen have been and are willing to do what a great many others forgot, in their efforts to make money, devote part of their energy and talent for the relief of the old soldiers who are daily suffering for the necessities of life. . Thev deserve and do receive the thanks and prayers of the disabled sold iers who fought under the nag that has been forever lurled. . We have worked very hard for the present encampment, and hope that it will be successful and meet the expecta tions of the old soldiers, and that each one may enjoy himself to the fullest ex tent' and have, a good time while in camp and return to your homes and families in the enjoyment of good health. W. H. Hamilton, Chairman Executive Committee Pen- . sioners Association. ' Upon motion of J. T. Skidmore, . T. Patrick was requested to act as Secre tary. ; , : !' ;.' The following was offered by J Hendrick, and after feeling speeches by the battle-scarred old soldiers, it was adopted unanimously: Recognizing the fact that the soldiers of the South surrendered in good faith, and laid down their implements of war with all honesty of purpose; theretore, we deplore and condemn the keeping alive the feeling of enmity between the two sections, and in this meeting of the soldiers of the State of North Carolina, who suffered most, be it 'Resolved, That we appreciate the fact that the war is over, that peace is abroad in our land, and that we do not hold any animosity to the boys who wore the blue, and that we cordially m vite them to come and share the goodly heritage Of a country, specially blessed by the Giver of all good blessings. . J;T Skidmore presented the follow ing resolution: Whereas, There is to be held in tne city ol Kaleigh, JN. U. during she months of October and November, 1891, a great exposition of Southern products, and it has been suggested to us thai it will be the pleasure of the management pf the Exposition to name several days ior a meeting oi me soldiers of both . armie3, and as such meets with our approval, therefore, be it jiesoevea, l bat the chairman appoint a committee of five on the part of the disabled veterans , of North .Carolina to co-operate witn a nice commiuee wnicn has already been appointed by the North ern Settlers' Association, in making the meeting a grand success, and we ask that the last week in October be named as the date for the reunion. . Adopted unanimously. On motion of J. S. Dunn, J.T. Patrick was elected an honorary member of the Disabled Veterans' Association. On motion, a committee "of five to draft, resolutions expressing the grati tude bt the disabled veterans for the kindness received at the hands of " the citizeiis of " Wilmington, especially the ladies of the Memorial Association, was adopted, and the chairman appointed the following gentlemen, J. S. Dunn, Capt, Pettey, of Iredell, E. F. Fenton, J. Hedrick and F. Skidmore. On motion, a committee of two from each county in the State was appointed to visit Raleigh during the session of the next General Assembly, and petition for an increase in the pension appro priation. On rnotion, the meeting adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. I GERMANIA CORNET BAND, At about 4 p. m. the Germania Cornet Band, under the leadership of Prof. G. Miller. Jr., marched into camp in lull uniform, and playing "Dixie in a manner that made hundreds of veterans yell, 'with delight. During the after noon the band played at inter vals and when they began a selection you may rest assured they had attentive and delighted listeners.. Only a part of the band was present, but they played most delightfully, notwithstanding they were comparatively few in number. Mr. 1. M. Richardson was in camp yesterday in charge of the following from the Soldiers' Home at Raleigh: Dr. D. P. Ramseur, B. F. Taylor, K. W. Aldrldge, A. Maxton, W. H. Buis, N. Carter, P. M. Brown, T. M. Justin, A. Oliver, T. W. Marshall, N. Brady, W. Thomas, W. Caston, H. Herring, W. Poe and C. C. Pierce. COL. E. D. HALL, was presented with a very handsome gold badge by the disabled veterans, as a token of their high esteem and love for him, and their appreciation of his labor. In presenting it; Chair man Hamilton, a blind - Veteran," said: "It's intrinsic value is small, yet it is from the hearts of the maimed veterans of the State. Those who went out in '61 are now getting old, and each will soon receive his fur lough, signed by the great Commander, with orders to report on the other shore, after which no leaves of absence will be granted. There we shall remain till the sound of the last revielle of the Resurection morn, when I hope we shall all meet around the great white throne and know each other there." The badge represents a soldier "at rest, with his banner furled.. In the rear the guns are dismounted and laid aside. It is of solid gold and came from he gold mines of Anson county. MORE ARRIVALS.

During the forenoon, Capt John T. Patrick was presented with a testimo nial by the pensioners, through Sergt. Hamilton, who said: Capt. John T. Patrick: At the request of my fellow comrades . it becomes mv pleasing dutv to present you as a token of our esteem. We are greatly in debted to you for your aid in calling the Convention -in Raleigh in 1889. On that occasion you secured transportation for the delegates from all parts of the State. Since that time, as our - trustee, you have done all in your power to aid us by carrying out the wishes and in structions of the State Executive Com mittee in bringing about this glorious re-union, where we can meet with and clasp the hand of our fellow comrades whom we fought with side be side in the late war. Bringing into miry? the rem iniscences of the dark days of our his tory. ! : We belong to an age that is rapidly passing away, as worth Carolinians we are proud to j see our young men rising up and coming to the iront ail over the State. Possessing like your self, energy and ability which gives us the assurance while we are going out that Oar noble old State Heaven's blessings rest upon her will be kept in the front rank of our sister States of the South. There is an old adage which says: A wise man always carries an umbrella, alike serviceable in rain and sunshine. Mr. Patrick, you will please accept this one. It is not a costly arti cle yet it is an expression of gratifica tion to I you for the valuable services you have rendered to the maimed and disabled veterans, i our name is now associated with the annual re-union of the Pensioners and will become a house hold word in the homes of the maimed and the disabled. CAPT. PATRICKS REPLY. Sergeant Hamilton and My Friends: If I havfe served you, this token of your esteem more than pays the debt. To serve the men who went forth at North Carolina's call is the duty of every young man of j to-day. and what I have done was only a duty, and therefore, you more than repay me' for all the labor you have received at my hands. - Human nature is a strange thing. We soon forget promises made and obliga tions due. : 1 was a boy eight years old when the war was going on, but I recollect that the young ladies said : "You must be a brave soldier before you can claim the fair hand of a North Carolina lady. "Go forth," said the old men of means to the husbands arid fathers. "If you are killed in battle, your wives and children shall not suffer, if you are maimed you shall not want," You went forth, and history says : "Never did men show more valor fas soldiers. At no time and in no clime did men reflect more credit upon their homes. Not only were you encouraged by promises, but the State of North Caro lina bid you go forth, and you went, and did not only your duty, but honored those who were to come alter you Why is it you do me this great honor for simply performing part ot my duty? Surely, my old friends, it is not an odd thing for North Carolinians to render! unto you a duty: surely this great State that boasts of honesty of purpose and purity of government has not so far forgotten herself as to make it such an extraordinary occaaion that you must show distinction to one who has served you no more than I have? Surely the men of means not forgotten their promises? If they have, then the ladies who were: so par tial to the soldier boys must go to work rK and see that the promises made their fathers and friends, years agoJs fulfilled. ' . Dear oTd Confederate soldiers, with a grand and glorious record written in blood and made dear by untold suffer ing. I fear I know that in these your latter years, there are days of-want and suffering when your heart almost faint within your tired bosom, and there are days when hunger and cold almost im poverishes and chills the very blood that thrilled and quickened as you went forth with Lee and Jackson. At this time, when the South is on the great progressive march, with North Carolina second to no State, I hope to do my full share for her development. But I shall never forget the boys who wore the gray; and side by side let the army ot veterans march with the army of workers, and as prosperity comes to the army of workers, let a just share of that prosperity be unhesitatingly be stowed upon the army of brave men whose ranks can never be increased, whose great leader stands on the other side with a iust God, who ,acts jfor the best and who knows why he saw proper to- let their marvellous victories be turned into naught and their banner furled forever. To-day I know your hearts are light er, for you have met among' friends not that all North Carolinians are not friends to you. I believe they are, if they would only stop to think of your condition; but the .people of the cape Fear section, they never forget you. When it was dccided"by the commit tee that they would call you together once more this side of eternity, the worthy Chairman of your Executive Committee asked me to suggest the place.. My reply .was: "Meet with the ladies of the Cape Fear, and you will meetwith a reception . that win make your ; hearts glad and your burdens lights ... ' . - You will see that you nave . not been forgotten, and though the cause you battled for stands only in History your welfare, your honor and your bravery to the State and to our people is a liv ing, burning reality in the hearts of . the ladies of the Cape Fear. May god Give me strength to worn for the development of this Southern Land of ours, to aid in making it prosper ous and powenui; ana a memory sum cient to recollect and a will to do my duty to you, grand Confederate soldiers. LADIES' MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. The Ladies' Memorial Association of Wilmington went down on the 10 a. m. train, and were conveyed from Wrights ville to camp in carriages that were awaiting them. Upon reaching the gate leading to the grounds they alighted and marched in couples be tween two lines of veterans (that were drawn up to receive them) to the pavil-. ion, where the veterans soon followed, making the grove resound with their hearty cheers for the ladies. Ice cream and cake were forthcoming in due season, and was highly appreciated by all. At the proper time a sumptuous and sub stantial dinner, prepared by the fair hands of the patriotic ladies of the As sociation, was served and enjoyed by all the ladies of the Association as well as by the veterans. After dinner had been disposed of another meeting was called, to express the gratitude of the veterans for the kindness they had received while in Camp Fowle, and a series of resolutions were passed, unanimously, giving ex-' pression to that feeling substantially as in those just adopted. ., NEW HANOVER VETERANS ASSOCIA TION. A little before 4 p. m. the veterans, under the command of that accomplish ed and experienced Col. W. L. DeRos set, formed in line and marched down to the parade ground where they halted to await the arrival of Senator Ransom and the New Hanover Veterans' Asso ciation, which soon appeared, headed by the Second Regiment band, and marching into camp to the inspiring strains of "Dixie" which were nearly drowned by the deaining cheers of more than 500 old Confederates. SENATOR RANSOM. Immediately after tfie arrival of the ' expected visitors the throng repaired to the pavilion and after the band had dis coursed a piece of music Senator Ran som was introduced and made a speech to the eagerly listening crowd. It was a fine address; full of patriotic fire and en- ' thusjasm. While there was nothing in the sentiments he uttered at which the most ultra Northern man .could reason ably cavil. It was full of love and admir ation for the old soldiers of the Confed eracy and their heroic deeds on many a hard-fought and bloody battle-field. LADIES DELIGHT. The ladies of the Memorial Associa tion were especially delighted at the grateful manner in which the veterans accepted and enjoyed the bounties pro vided them, and desire to express their pleasure at the knowledge that their efforts were so gracefully and gratefully appreciated. It was a most pleasant episode on both sides. The day was pleasant and the crowd from the cijy, especially in the after noon was immense, as large nearly as at any time during the recent encamp ment of the State Guard. During the day quit a number of the . veterans were obliged to leave for home in order to make railroad connections, to enable them to get there by to-night; but not one leit without expressing his great delight at the pleasures he had so heart ily enjoyed. v Mr. Jesse W. Fuller, of Robe son was down in camp yesterday with the veterans. Mrs. J. F. Rulf and B. F. Keith left Thursday night for Mt. Airy -and the springs in the western part of the State. Two of the Alexander County Veterans', Mr. . M. Watts, of .S wanner, and Mr. O. H. Looper, of Vashti, were t visitors at the Star office yesterday. ; Mr. E. J. Kriminger, of Indian Trail, Union county, a veteran of Com pany A, 48th N. C. Troops, and Mr. Henry Chapman, of Waxhaw, Union county, were among the visitors at the Star office yesterday. Mr. J. S. Carr.who was so thought ful as to present $50 towards paying the expenses of the encampment, was un able to be present on account of sick-. ness in bjs family. Though, npt pres ent,, he was often thought and spoken of by the "vets." ' . ; " Mr. Thos. J. Capps, of Onslow county, one 61 the litter-bearers who carried Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson from the field at Chancellorsville after the General was wounded, called at the Star office yesterday, Mr. Capps is one "of the substantial farmers of Onslow.
