that he must blame his parents Perhaps the word
little before his name bored him, if so he shall not
be bored any fonger--I will just call him Jack He
says - If you wish the crowd to be interested just
ascend the rostrum your beautiful sell. !" That is
very witty indeed-his wit consists in reaiiation
do not object to any person quoting after me- pros
vided they quote right, and not use the sense ofmy
language by changing the words and claiming it to
be their own production. " Fido has the impudence
to say that L had the audacity to offer a reply to
him. (meaning Mr.. Williams.) Yes, Mr.. Fido, had
more audacity than that, for went to Caswell to
reply to Hon. John Kerr" This is the language OF
Jack Stedman. Went to Caswell to reply to Hon.
John Kerr Well, gentlemen, you may talk of inn
pertinence oquacity and every thing else that gen
orally attends forward youth, but this is grade
holder than any thing of the kind now extant, save
the 'gnat on the bulls horn" wonder ii the
g Chatham Representative" was at Tally-Ho on the
Goth ut to reply to Mr.. L. OBJ. Branch and set
Mr.. Kerr on his guard again? would advise such
men as Stephen A. Douglas, OF Illinois,, George y.
Badger and William A. Graham, of North Carolina,
to mind how they make anti-Know Nothing s. eech-

Caswell to set Mr. Kerr his guard will take them
down.
AS far as the Editor of the Milton Chronicle is
concerned he and are great old cronies. l like to
have gotten into scrape with man not long since,
for he said: "Of all the little contemplate papers
that printed, that thing which comes from
Milton exceeds ALL" flushed up, and was in the
act of striking him when idea suddenly present
ed itself-that had better keep out of fuss, espe
cialy about trife " I tried Fido for a long time
Watchdog for which he proved worthless and
would kill Sheep Yes, goats too, and he had bet
ter keep shy, for Fdo in catching sheep might mis-
take him for billy goat.
Messrs. Editors, l suppose it is unnecessary for
to protract my writings, the facts in regard to
the arrangements of the programme above stated,
are perfectly satisfactory.

To tile Editors Of the Raleigh Standard:
GENTLEMEN Our friends of the Argus ma
king great fuss about the Presidents speckled
shirt so much as to arrest the attention of some of
our best citizens As the Senior Editor of that vol
luminous sheet has been absent so much recently, it
is rather suspected that he the veritabe John
Worthy Cameron" is in peaceable possession
of the aforesaid speckled shirt and is now cutting
swell on the banks of the great Pee Dee.
Crcumstancia evidence is certainly very strong
in favor of the above suspicion. You know when
a rogue steals anything, he always makes more
noise than any body else in order to prevent sus-
picion. 1t certainly lays between the Milton Chron-
icle and the Argus. Perchance they may have
been in Co. in dividing the spois-une taking the
upper and 'tother the lower extremity. If such be
the case, we assure you Cameron has the tai, TOR
he is especially fond of anything low. The Argus
plicate of dealers in clothing. He says he
saw shirt answering the description OF the lost
shirt, aforesaid, hanging in the window of James
McPherson's store. Now Mr.. Mac is man of more
principle than to have committed the theft aforesaid,
and although the Argus may cast such insinuatons,
it will not be believed. Mac wouldn't be caught
wearing old clothes. 1t is very evident the Argus
either has the shirt in possession or knows where
it is
In order that no suspicion may rest on our com.
munty, deem it necessary to add the following
proclamation:
That, whereas the Argus Office is strongly suspec
ted OF having in their possession, or knowing the
of certain 'speckled shirt ~ and
whereas we, part of the community are liable to
suffer from said circumstance; now, therefore, We
make proclamation that, unless the said missing
shirt is Forthcoming by the week of our county of
Cumberland Fair, will be compelled to institute
suit for the recovery OF the same

MEssRs. EDTroRs: An agreeable episode to the |
Fair was the appearance on parade of the Raleigh
comml n6ed by Capt. DeCarteret- |
he more agreeable, perhaps, from the perfect con-
rast which they exhibited to the very farcical
feature of the military and humanity of the prece-
ling day.
The Independents after being on drill and duty |
he greater part Of the day the Fair Grounds, |
we're seen by the writer approaching the new, sub
;tantal and hospitable mansion of Augustus NJ.
lewis, Esq, VINO nau inc gates OF MS SaTO thrown
open to invite their approach welcomed them in
ew appropriate remarks to partake of some refresh
nents. After which the Company executed success
ully variety of complicated movements some of
which the writer inferred from their beauty and
he cmulous exertion to please with which they
we're made, were intended for the ladies, who SEEM
ID to think too, for they received them with the
waving of handkerchief and other signals of graft
ication, than which no tokens Of admiration
more dear to a soldiers heart
Just as the Captain put his Company in march
ng ORDER and was about to give the word of COM
nand to return to their quarters Mr. Lewis, in few
vords appropriately and periodically thanked them
their VISIT to which the Captain, in behalf of the
company, briefly and properly responded, in SINH
ar if not identical language with the following: l.
That the members under his command were not on
= citizen-soldiers but laboring men-artisans and
mechanics supported their wives and children
With those hands and arms which he nov saw uni
ed in the form of war to WELD the sword and the
re-lock in the hour of need for their country-that
hey disclaimed all effort of ostentatious parade
hat they had been organized for service and lastly,
hat if ever his property and that of the country
hould be assaulted by wild and lawless mob, the
aoould defend 1T.
There were several reflections arising from the
