But I have left my sabjeci." J Gr Malftin "drew all the pay', forage, room rentj rations, stationery, commutations, &c. due the various offices be held. But his great and grand duty,and about his only du ty, was to have an inspeclioh twice a day, in all the dazzling splendor of martial array.. I remember as well as if it were yesterday, how we all marched through that large field at Camp Mangum,' with old flint and steel -muskets, and awaited .the approach of the roy al caravan. Very often we had no guns. Gid eon Fulford, a low: squatty Dutchman, from Cabarrus, marched at the head of the column, with a bass drum some 5 feet in diameter. The tap of Gideon's drum sounded like dis tant thunder as he beat the . measured step of the left foot About every fourthlick-he would double his beats to suit the step of both feet and then the measured left step again four times, and then-the double lick again and so on. Enoch Misenheimer.-of Rowan, .with that melodious instrument, the fife, and Na than Braxton from 'Lenoir, with his 'kettle drum roaring like two saw-mills, walked im mediately behind Gideon. . Thus we marched, counter-marched, wheel ed to the. right ob-H-que, marked-time, left dressed ana. joined Gideon's band. . Suddenly we wobld.be commanded, .to halt and hwldour breath. The. officer of the day who is posted on the lookout bawls out some thing to our field officer, "We- then file-right by left-flank, turn heels over head and fall in to double column at half distance. As soon as we recover our senses lroni this movement,' we turn our eyes towards the distant hills in tha direction of Raleigh. . "We . can just "dis- L tinguish in the dim distance, the hero of (he Gen v Taylor hat, the one armed martyr of Beuna Vista and hlsf host of staff officers and attendants.' ' w- - - They fly over- bill and- dale at lightning speed, one after the other like 60 many Co manche Chiefs on lheprarics of Texas, s ,Soon the royal j. Q. Martin, "in '.dazzling uniform and rattling armor, gallops on his foaming steed through our widened columns from one end of the field to the other. About .50 yards behind him came A Gordon, A. A. A. General. At -the same interval came- Shepard another AAA. Gen'l, aad then in succession -Gulick, Hogg, Moore, and a- dozen others," in buff gauntlets and sky-blue rants. ; ' -j And .lastly came .little Snow, on .aJbusby tailed Mexican pony, as courier - and- ho6tler. The sage of 'the -old -Guion building and 'the hero of theTTarboro raid, having thus secured a stand near an old persimmon tree, in the farther end of the bid field, we then left wheel, right "dreRS and march in review.- At this critical moment Capt, Lyons, of Granville, displayed that military genius and courage for which, he has -become so famous. Capt.; Lyons halloed as much to his men as Robards of 0ranville did to his conscripts. Robards was a drill master of conscripts and from the moment he went to roll call in the morning till dress parade was! over in the evening; you could hear him all over-" the camp as follows: St eady men,1 steady! right'.'dressl. fi-QQt! two inches forward on the left! an eightE of an inch back on the centre!' "steady! front! for ward! guide left, steady boys! step off firmly with the. teft foot, touch to the right and dress to the leftf Tfit, Bteadytty' boys, Mabch! hep hep he p!' -mark time! steady men! halt!" ' iJ J ;i "- But Capt' Lyons did the thing in a style somewhat different from Robards. I think he "firsf attempted tfiisjdrfli at Gen. Martin's re views. Dickerson was an important character in his -company. ' 2 Lyons did not talk much but when he did it was in this. style: ''I will have you right shoulder: shift iiacs left Dungs! Back there Dickerson aboutWq inches in the centre. (Pay attention now and quit chawin tobacco there' Fullenwider, i and keep your hands out of your pockets: Thompson,) Foa wxbd! guide, left! ; (Hold up jrour head there Dickerson, yon d u fool and q uit looking-for snakes) MakchI' : i .1 -4 i - , : When review was over the royal procession would take ' its flight back to Raleigh in the same' order -as it came, only' faster.

In tim'e pf the war you remember, we. had some;finely dress ed patriotic carp cf baggers from ''Maryland, my Maryland." They were too patriotic to sde ia' noble people imposed on, so they broke through the line ot bayonets and came- -not to our relief,-but to fill the easy, offices and, suck away bar substance There were some very few exceptions.

There is another remarkable fact too. We find Oliver EL Dock'ery playing sec ond fiddle to the carpet-baggtrs of the .Confed eracy, just ' as he dances to carpet-biig music now.

I never saw - a bow-Wgged man that could not. dunce well. Oliver got Vance to appoint him. "Mnjor of the.' Homo Guard to keep him out of the .war and .cak.-h deserters.

',' J ; ' , ' ' But the Jews are perhaps the greatest insti tution in Wilmington. I called on an ugly hump-backed, crooked-nosed Jew on the corn-; er to see -if he would advertise in the everr lasting Eagle. He came towards me in a swift suppliant attitude, smiling from ear to ear and whispered Vat can I sell j-ouj to-day." And I said says I, "Don't you want to extend jpCr business largely by , advertising inthe ;Eagle, which has over 300, 000 subscribers; one square in the Semi-Weekly pne "month, $3 50?" Says he, "No, I don't," ; and he turned abruptly off and went to sweepirigpon old boxes and barrels in a most disgusted and exciting, manner. , I left. I applied to some others with like effect There 'were ; other men sensible men who gave Ine advertisements foi the Eagle, and I will see that their names are entered on the Roll of Honorv os, some?whraJ hier--2?row(fcd they continue to lie clever fellows. Speaking of the Roll .of Honor ; reminds me of the one that. Vance had fixed up by Maj. Foote. Every fellow who wanted to appear well oh History's immortal page, had only to write a brilliant account of his own exploits and' put it in the "Roll of Honor. ' - P ' -: .

Judge Buxton as charged by Juslitia. , We criticised his offi cial act 8 we had a right to do and as we expect to do hereafter not only with him,, but with others. We regret that Judge Buxton has act ed so as to lose the confidence and respect bf this community as a Judge or public officer or citizen. ! , VVe had hoped better bfhini When others suggested indignation we refrained from saying anything disparaging and expressed our disapproval of the burning of him in effigy as seemed tp bo threatened. t We, like our frieud W. B Wright, hoped Judge Buxton would cor rect the matter in some way. -. "t We hoped it would turn but that he had been led in error unawares or perhaps had not made a definite, appointment In all this we were disappointed. Jadge Buxton acted freely, in telligently and gave Collahan a full, complete and definite appointment as Superior Court Clerk of Cumberland in. writing dated 2Gth September 1868. The bond of Collahan which he offers under that appointment is signed by O. H Dockery and others and dated we think Sept 17th 1868. Can Judge Buxton now re voke his absolute appointment? It would seem not unless the Commissieners refuse . for any cause to qualify and confirm Collahan 's bond, by which the. appointment is annulled. The Commissioners have the acceptance or re fusal of the bond. 'It is still under their con sideration thong h not j et approved.
