THE VISIT TO ST. MARYs.

At3 o'clock the companies were again under arms,
Capt. DeRossett on this occasion commanding the
battalion, and the line of march was taken up for
St. Mary's. As they reached the Raleigh Female
Seminary, the usual honors were paid to the ladies
of that establishment, and the gallanry of the COM
manders was rewarded by each receiving beautiful
boquet.
On reaching ST. Mary's, the weather assuming
threatening aspect, Rev. DR.. Smedes received them
into his house, and presented them to his formidable
array Of youth and beauty. DR.. Smedes addressed
our City's guests in substance follows:
Gentlemen of the Wilmington Light Intantry:
If ever body of men were entitled to a cordial
welcome from the place of which they visitors,
I am sure you have such claim upon the City
which you now honorng with your presence.
equally sure, gentlemen, the claim is most hear
tily acknowledged BY every one of its inhabitants.
Why, gentlemen, you have encountered trials from
rain and mud sufficient to have Iaunted any but
soldiers of the truest metal. Indeed had you serv
ed in Mexican campaign, you could hardly have
recalled, among its most tests of your SOL
dlery qualities trial Of the duration greater
than you have experienced in your march to this
City.
And yet, gentlemen, when look upon you. and
see your fresh and vigorous bearing. your bright
ana complete equipment, your whole appearance
| satisfying every requirement of the eve when it
scans gallant and chivalrous company, can
haroy rea''ze That during the greater part of the
last night and the previous day, you were half
drowned with rain, and half buried in mud.
But, gentlemen, on another and more general
ground, think you have claim to warm prasp
Of the right hand Of fellowship, wherever your own
| may be extended.
Gentlemen, look upon the citizen soldier.n a.
peculiarly an American institution. 1t is an out.
growth Of the civil liberty and blessings we enjoy
and of the resulting mutual confidence and love be-
tween the governors and governed The despot
dares not entrust with his oppressed subjects;
much less does he dare permit among them such
organizations as yours, accoutred with every iuple
ment of the warrior, trained in every exercise of
| the soldier, selecting their officers, governed
by their own laws. responsible only to themselves,
their country, and their God-minute men, gentle
men, ready at any call of patriotism to do, and If
need be, to die for their native land and its goodly
heritage.
Q glorious privilege of American citizenship, to
be born and to live in land whose every son, be-
comes in virtue Of his sonship soldier to protect
her rights. and shed his blood for her defence! We
gentlemen, are not compelled to drain the poor mans
cup and sorta his tcany fare, for the support Of

The wilmington Light Infantry.

This fine Company took their departure from this
,,,ce on Wednesday evening last, in the train for
C;oksborougb, having been with us only three
DAYS The Q. c. G.'s, whose guests they were. and
the citizens generally, parted with them with SIM
cere regret They were accompanied to the Rail-
road Depot by the O. G. G.'s and number of citi-
sens among them His Excellency, Gov. Bragg; and
As the cars moved off they were warmly cheered by
the large assemblage present.
This visit has been a most pleasant and agreeable
one in every respect to our citizens, and the recol
lection of it will not soon pass away. The Winning
ton "boys"-if we may use the expresslon-oore
themselves like soldiers and gentlemen, as they are;
and we'll NAV that gallant and enterprising town,
which has many things to be proud OF, be proud
also of the Wilmington Light Infantry"-every
officer and private included. We saw much OF them
during their stay, and the more saw of them the
more warmly we became attached to them we
believe they pleased with their visit, and We
know they will now and then think of their friends
in this little 'City of Oaks"
They reached Goldsborough about seven P. NJ,
and left that place for Wilmington at one A. NJ,
where they arrived early Thursday morning. As
the cars left Godsborough they gave three cheers
for Raleigh and then three cheers for Godsborough.
Much praise is due to Messrs. James j. Iredell,
James A. Moore, Hugh J. Castor. William E. Alley,
and John Spelman. the Committee of Arrangements
of the O. c. G.s for the energy attention. and pro-
priety with which they discharged their numerous
and heavy duties.
We are indebted for the report below to Mr.. John
Spelman, Foreman of the Standard Office, and him
self member Of the 0. c. G's We feel confident
that he has aimed to do full justice to ALL and that
if he has failed in any respect to do so, the failure
should be attributed to no intention to overlook
slight any one who took part in the festivities,
any thing which transpired from first to last
REPORTED The Standard
Visit Of the Wilmington Light Infantry.
In our last issue We gave a hasty account Of the
arrival in our City of this fine military company,
and an outline sketch of the first days proceedings
IN celebration of that event. We now proceed to
conduct readers through the festivities and to
ll in and complete the sketch, to the best of our
ability.
In doing SO, however, we are met at the thresh
hold with serious obstacle: VIC cannot speak
ought, in order to give readers tolerably
correct idea of the sayings and doings, without
speaking Of ourselves (or partakers of every
thing which affects our City-whether for veal or
woe) in seeming spirit of objectionable selfpraise
With this consideration, shall have to omit au
sion to prominent cases of individual merit, and
touch matters generally as modesty as journalist
can.
We will now introduce the Wilmington Light In
fantry formally to readers, and then proceed
with them OF their round of pleasure.
The company consists of the following gen.
Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1857-05-09

The uniform is dark blue coat and pants-the
former beautifully trimmed with gold lace, the
skirts turned up with white, gilt mounted epauet
with buff fringe. The pants have the white stripe.
The plume is pure white ostrich. The summer
uniform is the same coat and white pants. Taken
all together. the uniform is in perfect harmony, in
good taste, and consequently very beautiful.
The uniform of the band is similar in color to that
perfect keeping with it.
THE RECEPTION.
In this uniform, then, precisely at 10 o'clock, the
Infantry turned out, in company with the Oak City
Guards, and the Raleigh Military Cadets led by the
three company bands, and proceeded to the recep-
ton ground in front of the residence of DR.. F. j.
Haywood, where, in presence of a large concourse
Of ladies' and gentlemen they were warmly received
by His Excellency, Gov. Bragg, in about the follow
ing terms: He said,
Officers and soldiers
Of the Wilmington Light Infantry:
On behalf of the Oak City Guards, whose sre.
cia! guests you are, and of other citizens of this
place, have the honor to bid you hearty vel.

low me to assure you, gentlemen, that no duty my
fellow citizens could ask me to perform would be
undertaken with more aiacrty, could be more &C.

Gov. Bragg proceeded at length to state that visits
