Adjutant (ieneral Cowles says that all the rilles will be sent back to the places from which the volunteers brought I hem and new ones issued to the troops He desires that many reserve companies be raised over the State. The Stale Hoard of Agriculture will meet June 14. The weather here is terrible. 1 1 was 10(1 in the shade yesterday and to day. It is reported here that Judge Nor wood had resigned.

Adjutant (lenera! Cowles has received Tiotlce from the naval commander at Charleston saying the Naval Reserves would be mustered in to ge anywhere, and must lie rated upon individual merit, and knowledge of naval matters. Cui te a parly from Tarboro spent yes terday here bringing with them quite a treat for the Tarboro Company in the shape of barbecue and other things good to eat Sergeant Brem on Saturday brought TO men to camp from Charlotte. He fust recruited his own company, the (iaslon county Company, and then the men were distributed in the other companies. A recruiting office has been established here in ( barge of Lieut. Christian of Durham, lo recruit the 1st Regiment. The Ladies Aid Society has sent out to the camp 9 dozen shirts, 9 dozen pairs of socks and a lot of underwear. This society of ladles are doing splendid work for the soldiers. But for them many of the men would be without any underwear at all. On drill a few days ago a man had on a mackintosh and a pair of pants. He had not even a shirt to put on. Another had to wear an overcoat. This is a shame. The city health report for last month was particularly fine. From year to year. Raleigh grows more and more healthy. Politics are coining to the front.

The present Congress man St rend, Populist has a poor show ing for any longer being in Congress. Adjutant (Ieneral Cowles is now try ing to have organized companies in the places from which companies have gone to the front. There seems to be a misunderstanding between the navy oilicers and t lie Naval Reserves. The first call put the reserves in the U. S. service and were mustered in according to their commissions in the Stale militia. The second call does away with these commissions and rales them by the navy board. Nothing will he done towards raising the ? companies for Ihe negro regiment until the I:t50 each have been mustered in for the filling out of Ihe 1st and L'nd Regiments. These will be sworn in by Col. Rurgwynne. The 1st Regiment needs only !Wi men to complete it. Buncombe county ranks ti rat as to the amount of taxes paid this year, Mceklcn burg second and Wake third. Wake used to head the list. (juarteriuaster (ieneral E. (1.

Al homo Spain has probably llireu vessels outride of the auxiliary craft, that could make the trip to Cuban waters, but none of these is regarded as likely to appear after Cervera's failure to strike an effect ive blow. It has lieen nearly two months since war was declared, and iu this lime the Spanish navy has succeeded iu Inflicting no serious damage upon a single war ship.

In stead of Ihe friendly ollices of Austria, il is intimated that Spain would now ac cept peace; proposals from the Powers, but would not entertain them as coining from the United States. The authority for this statement is given as Ihe Secre tary of Premier Sagasta ami it comes by way of Brussels. VhIii lloprM. A dispatch from London says (hat at Havana it is known that Admiral Cer vera has learned that Sampson is now short of aniinunilinn after the bombard ment of Saul nigo and ot her Cuban coast defenses. According to this story Admiral Cer vera is contemplating coining out ol Santiago harbor and making an atla k upon the American fleet. I'liNlitng Fur 4 11 tin.

A well known diplomat, the representative of a foreign ualion, is authority for the staiement that there is a strong movement mi foot in Madrid, inaugurated for the purpose of sending an expedition under (ieneral Weyler to the Philippine Islands. TIhh information has come to the diplomat in ,qu(slii n from his home government and 8 said to have lieen received from a relia bie source in the Spanish capital.
