Yesterday afternoon, an interesting incident drew
in front of Holmes Hotel quite large assemblage of
spectators of both sexes. The Wilmington Light In
fantry and the PIONEER Cadets paraded, as mark of
respect to the Governor of this State and marched
in line to the front of the hotel where His Exeeen-
cy was prepared to receive them Gov. Bragg in
troduced to the companies by Dr. Belamy and address
sed them in happily worded and well expressed re-
marks He grateful for the courtesy rendered. not
alone by them but by the citizens of Wilmington gene
rally His visit here had been pleasant one and he
would leave with agreeable recollectons He compli-
mened the Light Infantry on temperance, equip
ment and drill; spoke approvingly Of the introduce
ton of military education in our schools-it was a
good feature, and he had recommended something
of the kind in his last message to the General Assem-
bly,. He had enjoyed the advantages of military
education in part and spoke from experience of its
benefits. He gave wholesome advice to the Cadets
regarding their future conduct and progress in life,
and closed by reiteratlng his thanks for the mani
festation of their courtesy.
The whole affair passed off pleasantly, and was
one of those agreeable incidents which occasionally
happen to diversity the monotony of every day pur-
suits. Wilmington Herald, 9Th.

WASHINGTON, Tuesday. April 1.-THE Navy De-
partment, as we'll as the War Department, is unu-
sually active It is getting up steam for the China
seas. and, barring any bursting out of cylin-
der-beads respectable, naval force under the COM
mand of Commodore Perry, may soon be equipped
for this important service. AS MIR. Reed, our En-
vow is to have the choice of ship for his convey
ance to China, he WILL perhaps, take the Minnesota.
It is to be borne in mind that he will find no accom-
modatons for his residence in China good so
safe as those which he will find on shipboard. Lord
Elgn will reside at Hong Kong, an English colony,
but Mr. Reed would not reside there, except as the
guest of the English. He could live at Macao, but
not without the assent of the Chinese and Of the
Portuguese also.
The factories at Canton are all destroyed, and it
is possible that If the war-contnues the English will
be driven from Hong Kong. The report that the
"Son of Heaven" had censured the acts oil his Gov
ernor of Canton. Yeh is likely to be true for the
Chinese censured were disgraced officers who were
so unfortunate as to be able 10 chastse the bar

approved of the seizure of the Arrow. The war
with the British had served to bring large portion
of the rebels over to his support ION.

Execution of GuilfOrd.

The negro man Guilford, convicted of the murder
Of Mr. Peebles of Johnston executed in the State
rock quarry near this place, on Friday last The
members Of the Oak City Guards having been sum-
moned by the Sheriff citizens concluded to turn
in uniform, which they did, guarding the prisoner
to the ground and preserving order among the vast
crowd present. The Rev. Mr.. Wheeler, of the
Methodist Church, and Mr. Crowder, the Colporteur,
attended the prisoner, offering him spiritual advice.
Mr.. Wheeler briefly addressed the assemblage, and
then prayed most fervently for the poor creature.
At half past eleven O'clock all the arrangements for
the execution having been completed Mr.. Sheriff
High cut the rope and the trap-door fell. It was
obvious that the culprit's neck was not broken by
the fall. for he struggled considerably, and gave
signs of life for some twenty minutes. The Sheriff
was deeply affected by the painful duty which he
had to perform.
Guilford, we learn, confessed to the murder, and
said he sorry for it, but exhibited little or
signs of contrition for the deed. lie said nothing
under the gallows and but for the fearful, beseech
ing, imploring look from his eyes, one would have
regarded him utterly stolid and Indifferent to his
awful fate.

Court, he appealed to the Supreme Court on point
of law mainly with the view of proonging his life.
The prisoner had fair and impartial trial, and was
able and fully defended in both courts. The expense
to the master, from first to last, cannot be much
less than one thousand ,loars-to which NAV be
