The announcement that the Second Regiment North Carolina Volunteers had received pay from Paymaster Muhlenburg from the 27th of April caused the officers of the First Regi ment at Jackosnville and the Negro Battalion at Fort Macon to wake up to the situation and they are making desperate efforts to get some of Uncle Sam's coin for the fifteen days previous to time of muster Into service. It was last week announced in our morning contemporaries that certain Senators and Congressmen had obtained the ex tra pay for the Second Regiment and In corespondence of out of town pa pers the Colonel Commanding was lauded for the accomplishment. The Times-Visitor stated, upon the best of authority. Major Muhlenburg, the Pay mcster, that out for the efforts of thoughtful and energetic Adjutant General the pay would not have come. The First Regiment, so It is learned from Fred Merritt's telegrams to the News and Observer is now making re clamation direct for the amount of back pay and the Negro Battalion Is wiring to the Paymaster General and Adjutant General for the same purpose. The First and Second Regiments and the Negro Battalion are all on the same footing as for back pay and in answer to a letter from General Cowles the following telegram was received today settling the matter until the First Regiment semis here to get from Gen eral Cowles certificates as to the jus tire of their claims. A. D. Cowles. Adjutant General, Ral eigh, N. C: Muster rolls of Battalion at Fort Macon show that the troops were en- ....lln.l o,l .-.-in vnwri ir, TM 11 tualfth The paymaster could pay from no other dato without authority. If they are ient'tled to pay from April 27th, the j commanding officer at Fort Macon should be instructed to place the amount due each man upon the rolls j and to these rolls should be affixed i your certificates that they are entitled ! to pay from April 27th. STANTON. Paymaster General, U. S. A. From the above it will be seen that Colonels and Congressman do not count i in the matter and that the credit for 'the extra $15,000 paid the Second Regi jment; about $2,500 to be paid the Negro j Battalion and probably twice that 1 amount making in all about $22,000 extra pay is due General A. D. Cowles. I The First Regiment might save sev ;era.l weeks time by writing to General j CowHes and getting his certificates, which he gives according to his prom ise to the men at the time they were ordered to move.

TRADE AND THE FLAG. Says the New York Commercial-Ad- vertiser: , Trade follows the flag is the old say- ling. It would perhaps be slightly more accurate to say that the trader follows the flag. Wherever the flag goes and agsureg protection t0 tne trader, the , trader follows it. If he can sell his goods there, then trade follows the Ap. But the proces is sometimes re- ! versed and the flag follows ttrade. Where the merchant pushes his way the flag follows for his protection. Letter caurler W. M. Brown s con- flpe(J t0 hig home by slckness. Mayor Russ today received a short letter from Hugh Dortch, formerly of Goldsfcoro. but now a Real Estate Agent in Honolulu. The letter was mall- e(J on June ntn arrived at Saft Fran. clsco on June 24th, and In Raleigh to day. This was a quick trip from Hawaii. UNCLE SAM'S CATS. It may surprise a good many readers to learn that there are 30 pussy cats on the payroll of Uncle Sam's Army. i This face came to the surface today, when an advertisement appeared ask ing for bids for "fresh beef suitable for feeding cats, bones excluded." One of the clerks In the quatrermaster's . office states that 10 of the feline guar- steendians of the government warehouses are stationed In this city, 10 In Chicago and 10 In San . Franolsco. They only cost five cent sa day each, and they save the nation thousands of dollars yearly, which Is more than can be said of a good many ether servants In the Federal employ. OFF FOR FORT MACON Three Men Deserted at New Hill -Eleven Squads on the Morning and After noon' TrainsSecond IHtnch mcnt will be Ordered Away. The negro troops moved to Fort Macon today but each squad wa)s short of the number of men required from the various points. On the morning trains Charlotte, Concord, Durham, Rutherfordton, Maxton and Sanford companies passed through and at 3:40 this )afternoon Winston,, Salem, Greensboro, Ashe- villa and Statesville companies went by on their way to the point of mobil ize tion. The first troops to arrive here were the three companies from Rutherford ton, Maxton and Sanford, all of which came in special cars attached to the Seaboard Air Line train from Atlanta. These companies were about full hav ing left their homes only one man short of the required number. As the volunteers got nearer to Ral eigh the men grew more excited and at New Hill three jumped out of the car land fled to the woods. The train stopped only a minute and there was no time to pursue the deserters. The Southern train also brought three coaches of negroes, these coming from Charlotte, Concord and Durham. They were yelling wildly as the train cam-; in and were quite different from the well controlled men from Ruther fon'ton end Sanford. The Charlotte company was short eight men. the Concord short six and t ho Durham company larked about eleven of carrying its quota to the point of mobilization. On the afternoon train five towns were represented in seven iviaches-. Winston-Salem sent two car loads, and Asheville and Statesville together sent ' bow I. by which the men are ever re four more. Greensboro sent car load minded of the Mil North State and its and these will all arrive at Fort Macon ; by 8:30 o'clock tonight. Lietenant Harlow, t P. A., the mustering officer has completed ar-i rangements tor receiving the men at j Morehead and transporting them at once in small boats, sharpies anu schooners to Fort Macon. In all there wer-; about 450 to go through here to day and Lieutenant Harlow has pre pared tents and rations for about 500. The remainder of the negro volun teers under this call, including R. H. Hackney's company to go from Ral eigh, will be ordered to move to Fort Macon on Monday or Tuesday, though it is not improbable that they will not move by Wednesday. FUNERAL OF MRS. PENCE. This morning at 10 o'clock the fur, eral services over the remains of the late Mrs. Thomas Pence were held from the residence on East Morgan street. Many loving friends gathered to pay their last tribute to the memory of the one whom they had admired and loved. A brief service was conducted by Rev. Dr. J. W. Carter assisted by Rev. Dr. A. M.

SHE DID HER PART WELL In a Letter to Mr. K H. Hot tie lie Sends Mtssagis to Mayor Russ---Sho was in the Thick.-! of the Fight. Mr. Richard Battle today received a personal letter from Mr. Thomas R. Jernigan, formerly of this city, but for several years Consul General at Shanghai China and in it are some facts of unusual interest in this city. Every one in Raleigh is keenly in terested in the part taken by the cruiser name-sake of our capital city and Mr. Jernigan has seen the grace ful lead slinger since the great bat tle of Manila. Many reports have come to Raleigh among them the message from Captain Coglan sending greetings from the Cruiser Raleigh to the City Raleigh. The press of the entire country has said much of the prominent part taken by the cruiser as she steamed into the harbor of Manila, second only to her superior, the flagship of Admiral Dew ey, the Battleship Olympia, but this is the first message received from an old Raleighite, one as deeply inter ested as our own people Mr. Jernigan while writing took occasion to mention the completeness of our victory at Manila, and his mention of the cruiser, about which t lie city has been so much com eriu-o was a message to Mayor Kin-s. Mr. .IcMiigaii says "Tell Mayor Russ ihat the i noser Raleigh did her part ,-:he was in the thickest of the fight and came out in excellent shape. The punch bowl 'n-esented by the State is intact and there is no sign of harm." The cruiser is alright, the iinch capital city, is intact and nothing was needed to complete the gooil news otiiei than Mr. JiTniKuu'v sentence "The cruiser Raleigh did her part well. She was in the thickest of the tight." DEATH OF MR. li. F. PARK. Died in This City Last Night After Useful Life. Benjamin Franklin Park died in this city on yesterday afternoon at 7::Jf. p. m. Captain Park was born in Clarksvllle, Va., Mav 3, 1S37, his pa rents being John K. and Margaret Park. At the age of twenty-one he left the paternal roof and made his home in Franklin county, N. C, where he resided when troops were called for by Governor Ellis. Joining the Frank lin Kill , under Captain W. F. Green, unl assigned to the Thirtieth N. C. j': gtment, he soon went with his regi ment to Virginia, and was engaged in forty-seven battles under General Lee was wounded and captured In the w-eond day's engagement at Gettys burg, and sent to Johnston's Island. AfLer being exchanged he immediately re-joined his command, and partici pated in every fight in which his regi ment engaged, until the 19th of May, 1864, when he was so severely wounded as to render him unfit for active serv ice in the field. Returning to his place of birth in Virgnia, he was not con tent to remain an idle spectator in the conflict for Southern independence, he was detailed by the. Confederate W ar Department to engage in blockade service, and a large amount of medi cine and other necessary supplies was brought into the Ci'ederate lines through his efforts. At the close of the struggle he returned to Raleigh, arriv ing ni this city on the day of General Lee's surrender, and was soon in the employ of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, where he remained until the contracting and building firm of Roys ter & Park was formed, being the leading member of the firm until he was stricken with paralysis in 183. though incapacitated from active du ties in his business, he remained a con sulting partner. The latter part of January last he was stricken with Hright's disease, and It was evident to his family and friends that his days of "fu'rea v ere over, and everything was done to make his last days thosv of ease.

E. Wood (Richmond, Va.,) and John A. Park. He leaves four brothers and two sisters, who with his wife and children and a host of friends mourn his death. Captain Park was a zealous Con federate and never tired talking with his old comrades of hardships, marches and engagements through which the Southern soldier was called upon to en Jurc in the i.tuse in which tin y strug gled for four lomg years. When the Camp of Veterans was organized in this city he was among the first to en roll his name, and considered it a priv ilege to attend its meetings and p. rtici- pate in its deliberations. He filled the position us Commander of the Camp for two years, and his reputation as a brave soldier and good wiazen won him friends in councils of his comrades, and when his health became too feeble to take an active part in the Camp his comrades were loathe to give him up as Commander. He was an earnest and consistent member of Edenton Street Methodist Church, and when his health permitted was always present at the services of the church he loved so well.
