EDGEcoMBE, N. C.-Previous to the depar-
ture of the regiment of volunteers from North
Carolina, the ladies of Edgecombe presented
the company formed in that county with
splendid flag, wrought by their own fair hands.
A Miss SARAH E. Howard was chosen by her
companions to present the colors, which she
did, prefacing the ceremony with an address.
That address Will be found on the first page
of to-day's paper. 1t was shown to US by
friend, and we were so much struck with it's
beauty, and the patriotic spirit which it breath
ed, that we requested permission to copy it.
What can be more beautiful and touching
than the following: Remember, it is not
more the flag of the brave, than the flag of the
virtuous: and we implore you, in behalf of
our sisters of Mexico, should the fortune of
war place them in your power, recolect that
a noble courtesy, not less than high cour
age, characterizes the true soldier" So hal
lowed is the influence that clusters around
that single word, SISTER, and so strong, with
man an appeal from the sex to which his MO-
THEIR belongs, that we venture the assertion,
no one of the Edgecombe volunteers--even if
mis- associations with the bad of the world
have given his morals wrong bias, will act
counter, while in Mexico, to the admonitions
of Miss Howard. Miss Sarah, if we, Tor ra-
ther one of the ace) get through this Mexican
war with money enough to carry US to Edge
combe, you will shortly thereafter find a heart
and hand presented for your acceptance
Don't get married before, we pray you. We
love you because of your speech.

BeUare Of Counterteits and Lnaitations-The
unparalleled and astonishing efficacy of Dr. Wis
tars BaIsam of Wild Cherry, in all the diseases
for which it is recommended, curing many cases
after the skill of the best physicians was unava-
ing has effected large and increasing demand
for it. This fact has caused several unprncipled
counterfeiters and imitators to palm off spurious
mixtures, of similar name and appearance, for The
genuine Balsam. Some are called "Syrup of Wild
Cherry" "Balsam of Spikenard,' avid Cherry,
Comfrey,' &c. Another, "Wester's BaIsam of
Wild Cherry" misspelling the name, and forging
certificates to resemble those of the true Balsam.
"Dr. Wistaf's Balsam of Wild Cherry" is the
only genuine. The rest merely initiate the name
of the original, while they possess of its viz
tues.
Look sUeH to the marks of the genuine.-The
genuine Balsam is put up in bottles, with the
words, " DR.. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry,
Philad.," blown in the glass; each bottle bearing
label on the front, with the signature of
H. WISTAR, M. D.
This will be enveloped hereafter with a new
wrapper copyright secured, 1914 on which will
always appear the written signature of l. Butts
None genuine unless signed Butts on the

"DUPLIN MUSES."


Ye Poetasters, cease your strain;
No more let each of each complain
The votaries of the Sylvan spring,
In sweetest harmony should sing.
For shallow draughts arc all in vain,
And will intoxicate the BRAIN
And much. / fear, our sweet muses.,
Lightly of the water uses
From the Pierian fount, where flows
Poetic sentimental CLOVIS.
A fable here shall relate;
Your pardon crave, if misstats,
About two Frogs Of sad renown,
That dwelt hard by little town.
They wooed as all wooers do
In sweetest melody they sue.
In muddy stream upon log,
Sat eroaking this same little frog;
Whose treble in delig htful strain,
With Bully's bass kept up the veill---
And all night long, on messy seat,
Did they their charming song repeat.
But it so happened they fell out
Dye want to hear what twas about
II so, reckon you may guest
For, tell the truth, must confess,
ne'er could the mystery tell,
That in the breasts of lovers dwell.
So good lover you're not alone
Forgive, and for the past atone.

perusal of the correspondence between Gen'l

From perusal of that portion of the cor

be impressed with the exceeding delicacy, re-

partment, and the great wisdom, statesman
ship and tact which are discernible in every
line Of so long series of public documents.

MEo.ol

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,
Camp Washington, before Vera Cruz,
March 27, 1847.
The undersigned, Major General Scott, gen.
eral-in-chief of the armies of the United States
of America, has received the report of the
commissioners appointed by him, yesterday,
to meet the commissioners by his excellency,
General Landero, the commander-in- chief OF
Vera Cruz and the Castle of San Juan de Uloa
In making that report the undersigned re-
ceived, informally, from his commissioners,
the project of an arrangement presented to them
by the Mexican commissioners, consisting Of
six articles. Without producing those articles,
IN ertenso, the undersigned will simply refer
to them by their respective numbers:
ARTICLE l. Is wholly inadmissible. The
garrisons OF the places, in question, can only
be allowed to march out or to evacuate them
as prisoners of war; but the undersigned is
willing that each garrison, without distinction
between regular troops and national guards or
militia, may retire, in the delay of days,
to their respective homes-the officers giving
for themselves and their respective men, the
usual parole of honor not again to serve a.
gainst the United States of America in the
present war, until duly exchanged.
ARTICLE 2. The garrisons may be allowed
all the honors of war usually granted to gal
liant troops; but to surrender their arms of ev-
cry sort, save the side arms of the officers
ARTICLE 8. AS far as practicable by the
commissioners of the two armies, this may be
arranged to satisfy the just pride of the gallant
defenders of the places in question.
ARTICLE 4. Is readily agreed to, and may
be solemnly promised.
ARTICLE s. This is substantially met in the
above remarks under article ].
ARTICLE 6. Not admissible in any case
Taking the foregoing remarks and the in.
structions of the undersigned to his commits
sioners-which instructions were substantial
ly communicated to the Mexican commission
ers-as the basis of an honorable capitulation
the undersigned, to spare the further effusior
of blood, is willing to refer back the whole
suble to the same commissioners of the two
partes-provided that the said commissioner
meet again to-day at 0 o'clock, a. M, at tn
same place as yesterday, and proceed withou
delay to difnite conclusion of the who'll
subject.
The undersigned will wait the answer o
his excellency, Gen. Landero, up to O'Clock
this day, and, in the mean time, renews tn
assurances of his high respect and considera
ton. WINFIELD SCoTT.
