MILITARY PAEADE.-We were pleased to see the
Oak-City Guards out in goodly number, on the &C.
casion of their monthly parade. on Friday last
Capt Harrison being indisposed, the Corps was
commanded by Lieut.. Tucker. The gallant Lieu
tenant must have found this quite different business
from that other in which he has been absorbed for
the last few weeks. Lieut.. Tucker invited the corps
to his residence to partake of choice repast-at
which the commander and his bride were duly hon.
ored, and, at its conclusion, spritcdly salutcd by
round of musketry. Success to the happy couple
and to the spirited Corps

.F The Fayetteville Observer insists, in late
number that its accounts of legislative proceedings
have been full and satisfactory-that the Standard
i q "slow coach and that 1t was frequently
.bs.d Of the Standard in its legislative newsl Now,
those are small Matters and we would not notice
,bem but for the selfsufficency and arrogance Of
that journal, which deserve rebuke. The Obser-
ver is alrays right al,oaus reliable alaoays ahead of
svcrv bosy else, and al,oays the only journal in the
State which gets into good humor when its as
symptoms are criticised or its assertions contra
dicted.
Now, in the first place, the Standard is the only
r.per in the City which contained regularly, twice
week. an editorial summary of the proceedings Of
the legislature; and this summary always embraced
the action of the preceding day. How the Observer
coud get ahead of that we leave it to the public to
imagine. Again, we gave sketches of the proceed
ues to the extent of not less than eleven columns
per week. at an expense for reporting of $50 per
week. and these sketches were just as full as our
space would permit. The Observer avaied itself of
these sketches, and also of our editorial summaries;
and after doing so for the space of ten or eleven
weeks, coolly declares that its accounts from the
legislature we're frequently in advance of the Stan.
dari's, and that the Standard is "slow coach"
Now and then, we admit when the Observers Sin
valuable friend" happened to be here, that paper
was furnished with early news and with interesting
sketches; but beyond this the Observer has had no
advantage over other papers at distance, which
have been Just as prompt and attentive in giving the
results of legislative action the Observer has been,
and which did not consider it either necessary or in
good taste to "blow trumpet over their services
to their readers at the close of the session.
The Observer, in its course towards the Standard,
reminds us of the bcggar, wbo after eating to repe
ton, goes off grumbng at the quality of the fare,
and telling his kind entertainer that he owes him
thanks.

GEN. ScoTT AND SECRETARY DAvIs.-The substance
of correspondence between these officials has lately
come to light, which is by no means creditable to
either Of them, 1t relates to the of the secret
service money, while in Mexico, by Gen. Scott and
Gen. SCOTS claims to commissions the same &c.
The correspondence is bitter and insulting on both
sides, and characterized by exhibition of tem.
per which is to be regretted.
The INAUGURATION OF Mr.. BUcHANAN-The
most extensive pr parations are being made at Wash
ington for the Inauguration the 4lh of next month";
An immense ballroom is being erected. which will
accommodate thousands. We observe that Hons.
D. S. Reid and L. OBJ. Branch, of this State, arc
named as among the managers Of the ball, and Wes-
Icy Jones, Esq, of this State, as of the assist
ant marshaIs on the occasion of the Inauguration.
AN APT REPLY.--In reply to the sneering remark
Of the New York Herald, that the Southern Demo-
cratic press had become more moderate in their
tone the Mobile Register says: ~ -
"The Democratic press of the South have grown
more moderate in their tone because they feel salts
fed that the election of MIR. Buchanan has secured
10 the country firm and impartial supporter of the
Constitution and the individual rights Of the States
They have confidence in the man. They know him
TO be true lover not only of the Union but of the
Constitution, those Siamese twins of liberty which,
If one is stabbed BY fanaticism, the other dies of
despair"

Mr.. Buchanan's Cabinet.


Mr.. Buchanan, as our readers aware, has late
of Thursday last uses the following language in re-
lation to his Cabinet, which may be regarded as at
least semi-official
We have no intention of indulging in any con-
lectures or specuatons to the probable compost.
ton of MIR. Buchanan's cabinet, nor Of engaging i'm
any discussion to the claims ofsections or States
or of the qualifications Of indivuls for cabinet APP.
poiatments. Our object is to express the conviction
We feel that when the cabinet is announced it will
command the public confidence, and be regarded as
a sure indication of the wise discrimination and the
enlightened patriotism with which Mr. Buchanan
has taken the first great step in his administration
We believe is generally known that one of the OBJ
jects Of his late visit to Washington was to lend
willing ear to all the suggestions and views which
any of his political friends might choose to make
We believe that it is still better known that he
proved himself most patient and discreet listener
whilst he not only kept his counsels, but kent his
mind open to be pro6ted by all that he might hear
Our confidence in his fitness for his responsible du
ties is greatly increased by the fact that whilst Mr.
Buchanan was accessible to all, listened to ALL re.
sponded frankly to ALL yet tina: he left without hav-
ing dropped single remark which was inconsistent
with his avowed purpose to reserve his mind UNI
committed, until he had acquired all the information
within his reach. We doubt not he has obtained
the information he desired, and the result will be
the formation of cabinet which will ralIv to his
support the cordial and united approval of the ma
honal men throughout the country. Spcculatons
as to the individuals who may compose it are ma
turally made, but no can do more than specu-
late. We are content to await the announcement,
and to look for it with the most perfect assurance
that the cabinet will be such as to vndicae the wis
dom OF the people in placing Mr.. Buchanan in the
Executive chair"

AN IMITATION OF SCOTS CORONAC
Thou art fallen as the flower
That S freshest and sweetest,
Thou hast fed as the hour
That S brightest and hectest:
To our hearts thou vert dearest,
Thou hast left them in mourning,
And our fond hopes were E,irest,
But they know no returning.
The roar of the Ocean,
Where thy gallant ship boundeth,
In its widest commotion,
But thy requiem soundeth;
For that Ocean storm sweeping
Disturbs not thy ashes,
And unheard in thy sleeping.
Its mountain-wavc dashes.
Thine eye beamcd the brightest,
For it told thy souls gladness,
But no more thou delightest,
Thou hast left US in sadness.
That eye is now bcamless,
And our full hearts arc breaking,
For thy slumbor is dreamlcsS,
And shall know no awaking.
Ger the breast of the bilow
No longer thou swcepest,
For cold is that pillow
Where in darkness thou sleepest,
And iifc's fitful beaming
Shall return to thee never;
1t hath flashed its last cleaning,
1t hath vanished forever

E Gov. BRACE AND THE CARE FEAR AND DkEP R1vER
CoMPANY.--The message of Gov Bragg to the leg
islature, dated January S0th, 1851, shows that he
performed but plain and unavoidable duty with
reference to this Company. He attempted no dc
tat'on-he merely called the attention of the two
Houses to the condition of the Company, and to the
facts as they exist He declared distinctly, ''in view
Of the fact that the affairs If the Company have been
brought prominently before both branches of the
General Assembly at this session. and that there has
been action upon the same, do not deem it decor
GUS on my part to indicate any opinion Of my own
as to the measures which should be adopted under
the circumstances" Gov. Bragg is not the man to
say one thing, and do another His conduct in this
matter has been consistent throughout; and We are
sure 1t has been shaped and governed by sincere
wish to advance the interests of the State.
And yet one Of the Correspondents of the Favette
vile Observer speaks of the Cape Fear and Deep
River bill as having passed the Senate "under the
lash of the Governor" and the Carolinian says 1--WE
notice a number of sudden changes in the atmos.
phere of public flnctionares, under tile eye of the
Governor" Now, this is all unjust. We shall pub
lish in our next the message Of the Governor on this
subject in FULL and shall have something to say in
reply to IN" Of the Observer, who seems strangely
to have Inexperienced the bill introduced by Mr..
Gillian to sell the States interest in the two Com
panies. We shall make this reply, not that VIC care
any thing about Mr.. Giiam's bill, but in order to
do justice to Gov. Bragg, who has been improperly
connected, in a certain sense in the Observer and
elsewhere, with that bill.
