Cavalry Encampment.

WE ask to be excused by our Cavalry friends for the
remissness we have been guilty Of in the matter OF
their approaching encampment. 1t has been our in
tcn,iun every week for month 10 announce the result
of committee meeting which was held here early
June but, thinking there was plenty of lime and
having mislaid the scrip upon which were the dates,
&c. required to be stated, the publication has been
postponed. 1t is not however, too late 10 make it
now.
At the meeting to which we allude, 1t was agreed
unanimously that the Pine House" six miles East OF
our town. be the place of encampment; and o'clock,
P. NJ, on the first Monday in September next, was
fixed upon as The hour for the squadron to assemble.
A committee of three was appointed on the same
occasion TO procure tents, designate The ground of en-
campment select suitable field of parade, and to
make all necessary arrangements as n music refresh
menis &C. &c. This committee is highly efficient
one being composed of Col. JOHN F. TALBERT, 1t Col
A. P. BUTLER and Capt. R. B. BoUKNIGHT. In their
hands the preparations will doubtless be completed to
tie satisfaction of all interested. No clearer guaran.
tee of the character Of this encanpment could have
been given to the pubIic than the appointment of SO
h.h-toned committee Of arrangements.
1t was determined upon also, at the same meeting,
that the Abbevile squadron of Cavalry be invited
and requested to mite in the duties and pleasures OF
this military fete.' We believe the charge Of extend
ing this invitation has heen entrusted 10 Capt BuRRis
who will doubtless see that it is well done.
Tile prospect is fine for very interesting time. II
will be week when any and every body will be able
t, turn ont. Our crops are so abundant in their
promise thai every will be in good heart. 1t will
besides he comparatively idle season ofthe year
About that time TOO the quarter stretch Of our Legis
live canvass will have arrived and busy candidates
will be setting fine example of cordiay and polite
ness. The summer nights will have lost their ptense
heat and even the days will in all probability be much
more agreeable. Those who may have gone off tc
the Springs or elsewhere for recreation will then per
haps be back, refreshed for the occasion. The bic
meetings also will be over Fresh meetw keep well
too, and every thing will be abundant. The ladies
moreover will be longing abuu. that date for something
to amuse and excite Them And the gentlemen will be
quite up to the highest notch Of gullanry and good
humor.
Should our District he spared the rod of aflic,iol
throughout The summer should her fields yield as rich
harves, az now they Fastening 10 maturity
should we all feel the social mood upon us in its genia
glow, and especially should the whole conduct of the
affair be characterized by that generous spirit and
strict sense Of propriely which have every reason
to Look for, we cannot see why the Cavalry Encamp
ment week Of September should not prove as memora
BIZ an occasion of the kind has ever transpired in
Elgefeld. We wish it entire success.
