The event of Uic day at Raleigh, yes terday was the first parade of the Prist rr- regiment for Inspection and verlflca tlon of muster. This occurred at 6:30 o'clock. It was the first appearance of the men on the spacious drill ground, There were three battalions, command- ad respectively by Majors Smith and Rutrler and Senior Captain T. R. Robertson.

The regimental line yesterday was first formed and then formed by bat talions, closed to quarter distance. In spection of arms, equipments and cloth ing was made by Captain Gresham mustering officer. The officers and about 60 per cent of the men are uni formed and about 50 per cent armed. The rifles are in poor condition, and so are the equipments. The men are a good lot and will soon harden. The companies showed plainly how valua ble the leaven of the State guardsmen is In them, and their marching was very creditable for the first effort. Hundreds of people witnessed this first formation of a war regiment with keen interest. A report Is to be made to the War Department by Captain Gresham on the arms, equipments, clothing and personnel. He declined to give any opinion upon his Inspection. Battalion adjutant, L. B. Alexander, acted as regimental adjutant, vice H. R. Cowles. who failed to pass. It Is understood Alexander will be made regimental adjutant with the rank of captain. The Governor and Mrs. Russell and the Adjutant General watched the forma tion of the regiment. At the conclu sion of the Inspection the companies returned to camp. Ative drill began ' today. The troops need shoeB, fit for march. Most of them are badly shod. There were two campanles of the ' Second Regiment In camp this morn Infl and as there were' quarters for two '' t more); tn4- the Adjutant General or- ' deted the Wilmington and Oxford com panies to report at camp. He ex pect tents from the government by Saturday by express. He la notlged that 1,600 blankets have been shipped. All the other companies of the Sec ond Regiment should be In readiness to move here on short notice. It is possible they will al come Monday. The Wilmington company arlved at 4:40 this afternoon. A telegram was sent to the War De partment by the Governor saying that the State would dispense with the ' heavy battery and raise three compa nies of negro infantry to be command ed by a major and asking that a quar termaster and commissary be sent to Fort Macon, or given authority for a detail of one from here to prepare the fort for the reception of these troops so that Capt. Gresham, after mus tering in the troops here, can go there and muster the negro battalion in. It ta said the Governor will appoint Jas. H. Young major, C. S. L. Taylor's company, of the State Guard, at Char- - lotte. goes In as Company A, of this battalion, as It, of course, has the pre ference under the law. Governor Russell and Senator . Piitchard are at cross purposes as to thevolunteers. This time the Governor cornea out on top. The President's call for volunteers, said the National . Guardsmen was to be given the pre ference. There are twelve Guard com-'- panles In the First regiment of volun- teen and there are seven In the Sec- - . ond Regiment of Volunteers. Senator . Prltchard had arranged, it appears, that there was to be one white and one negro regiment, and the Secretary, . of War had ordered the mustering offi cer. Captain Gresham, to so muster them In. Governor Ruasel asked that North Carolina's quota be Increased to ' three regiments. This request theSec- retary of War refused. The Governor telegraphed him last evening that he had followed the request of the Presi dent and given the Guard companies preference; that his request to be al lowed to furnish a third regiment had been refused, and that, therefore, he would take only a negro battalion and ' would mobilise this at Fort Macon., ' All drummers will be dropped In the First Regiment. There la a chief v bugler and also a chief musician. The latter will organise field muslo, tak v tag not to exceed t enlisted mem " Drama and fifes are things of the past No one can say yet who will com. mand the Second Regiment as oolonel, ''.or who will be its majors. It seems that. Lieut R. P. Davis," Capt J. B. Batchelor or Lieut. Douglas Settle, ' will et the position as major. The odda are said to be In Davis' favor. ' One company of the First Regiment "baa every man uniformed, an din an other every man la armed. . .
