THE RECEPTION8 AND THE
DINNER.
According to previous arrangement, on
the 11th of August, the people of this
County, . and many from , the adjoining
Counties,, assembled in large numbers to
;reet the volunteers and join in the festi
vities of the occasion. We regret that
from v the short' notice, ' but two of the
Edgecombe volunteers atterrded, as ourin
vited "-uests It was an interesting scene
to sec the young, the old, and all classes
manifest the most anxious interest to see
and converse with these men just snatched
as from the grave. The cordial shake of
the hand, the groups of anxious listeners
around a volunteer here and, there in the
streets attested the, deep feeling that per
vaded the large crowd. , At 12 o'clock
the procession vvas4 formed at the Court
House, by Simon J. Latham, Esq., Marshal
of the day assisted by Col. J. G. Car
ravyay and Jno. Latham, Esqrs. At the
sound of martial music, the. volunteers in
Tront; measuring their steps with all the
order and precision of veteran spldiers, the
procession moved "Ifirough our streets,
recei v i n g the appro vi ng sm i les oft he Lad ids
uby their white, kerchiefs waving," arid
halted at the Academy Grove, where ample
accommodations were provided. Here the
dense throng were hushed into silence, and
the throne of grace addressed in a most
eloquent and fervent manner by the Rev.
Robert J: Carson. The volunteers seated
in front were then addressed as follows by
Col. Asa Biggs:

you could promise yourselves was
to do
your duty faithfully as. soldiers, defending
the rights & avenging the wrongs of your

intensity of ardent patriotism, which is
unexpialled if not unsurpassed by any other
position that , can be j assumed. If there

Without forgetting the proprieties of the

say that our country unable to settle amica

has, by the energy, bravery and skill of our
arms, the most of which were borne by the
Volunteers, compelled an honorable treaty
of peace. An interesting and important
problem has thereby been solved. We

be perpetual. Yet much will depend
upon your precept and example in infusing
into the, minds of the young a proper
appreciation of the rights of the country
and the necessity of defending them, "that
in time of peace we should prepareor
war," so as most certainly to preserve tho
peace, and thereby hand down to posteri
y the free institutions transmitted to us
oy our ancestors untarnished, witnout
stain, without blemish and without disho
nor. You may expect now and then to
hear the idle gibe, the envious growl, the
penurious complaint, the unpatriotic taunt.
But rarely in the county of Martin will
such mutlerings be heard. It is an ex
ception which proves the heartfelt enthu
siasm of the large mass of all classes and
all parties which is felt at your safe return,
your health and prosperity. ,
To the volunteers from other connties,
who are our invited guests on this occasion,
permit me to say that every thing 1 have
addressed to the Martin volunteers will
apply in all its force to you. It is an ad
ditional zest thrown into our cup ol enjoy
ment to have you with us on this occasion.
Here citizen soldiers who have endured
the privations, the perils and sufferings' of
the camp, surrounded by their fellow
citizens, and received: with the greetings
of hearty welcome, cair mingle their
co r. p,Tatul ati o ; s w ith their com rad es i n arm $ ,
at their safe return in home and jnnends
to themselves and their country in a forefgrt
land. Again, in ben ilf of the people of the
county of Martin, I bid you all thrice
welcome home!
Sergeant John C. Gatsinger, jn behalf:
of the volunteers responded in the fol-
lowing neat and patriotic remarks:
MR. GATSINGER'S REMARKS.
The volunteers are highly gratified at
the cordial reception they have met fiom
their feltow citizens of the County of Mar-'
tin. They return their acknowledgments
for the welcomes greeting they have this
day received. They regret that such a
large proportion of the little band 1 that
went from this County have fallen by the
hand of disease. Over their graves wc
drop the sympathetic tear. Our perils
; aid suflerings have been great, but we vol-
un'arily assumed them at the call ol our
country, and we feel amply compensated
in theapproving voice of bur countrymen
We will endeavor to set the examples
worthy of imitation, and transmit to pos- '.
terity the blessings of Republican liberty.
Upon the' conclusion of Mr. G's re- ,
marks, three cheers for the; volunteers
were proposed by the Marshal, and the
welkin rang with enthusiastic shouts
The volunteers with the large crowd were
then arranged around tables measuring up
wardsof 400 feet, loaded with barbacue of
all kindsand descriptions, with every con
diment necessary, neatly prepared and
f served up by "mine host" Major William
Watts, l it Was an animated and lanima
