Death of the Secretary of State.


Tt becomes our painful duty TO announce the death
of WILLIAM HILL, ESQ, Secretary of State He died
at his residence, in this City, at 3! o'clock, on
Thursday morning last Goth inst) ....
ME- Hill was in his S5th year, and had held the
Office of Secretary of State 46 years. being first cleo
ted in 1911. For many years past, no matter what
party was in power, he was again and again unani
mously reelected by the Legislature. This is high
tribute to the faithful officer and honest man. and
rare as it is exalted 1t is seldom indeed that party
rancor and party partiay is effectually disarmed
and brought to bow willingly to the demands of
merit.
He died not of disease. The machinery of life
ran down-the vital principle gradually exhaust
ed and he breathed his last without a struggle
without the movement Of a muscle. In our next we
hope be able to lay before readers short biog-
raphy of his long and useful career.
The funeral took place at the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, to-day friday at II o'clock, and
was numerously attended. Inrespect to the memo
ry of the deceased, the principal stores Of the city
were closed for time.

REPORTED FOR THE STANDARD
Military Visit to HiilsbOrOugh.

The second Anniversary of the Orange Guards,
Capt. Pride Jones, Commander, was spiritcdIy cele
brated in Hlsborough, on Tuesday last The Will
mington Light Infantry and the Oak City Guards
participated in the festivties the Fayetteville Inde
pendent Light Infantry and the Rowan Rifle Guards
failed to attend.
The Oak City Guards, numbering about thirty
men, commanded by Capt. Harrison, left this city
for Hillsborough, by the evening train on Monday,
and reached that ancient town by about o'clock,
p. IN. They met at the depot by their hosts,
the Orange Guards, and welcomed in the most cor
dial manner by Sergeant j. d. Wilbor. On enter
ing che town the companies halted at ttbe residence
OF Brown Rulfn, Esq, where they received the
first inStament OF generous Orange hospItaity.-
The City Guards then escorted to their
quarters, at COL McCauley's hotel.
AT o'clock next morning (Fuesday) the Will
mington Light Infantry arrived. They numbered,
including their fine cornet band some thirty five
men, Capt. DeRossett. commanding. The Orange
Guards received then. with salute of musketry,
and welcome was extended to them by Lieut..
Thos. Webb. On their arrival in town they were
quartered at Maj Howerton's hotel.
At 10 o'clock, the formal reception of the guests
took place in front of the Court House The gen.
tleman chosen for this grateful task H. K Nash,
Esq. He bade them hearty welcome in the name
of the county of Orange They were happy, he
said, to make the acquaintance Of the volunteer SOL
diery of the State; merely to exchange friendly
greetings with them, but with view to the lessons
they might receive, and the good which would re
snlt to the State by rendering them familiar with
the eecual means Of preparing, in times of peace,
for the day Of danger. He proceeded to state that
standing armies were foreign to the spirit and prn
cples of our political constitution that militia
system, now constituted, was quite useless, and
that an organized volunteer soldiery was the best
and only effectua mode of r,ing danger-forming
a nucleus aroand which the people might rally when
necessary, and becoming in itself formidable stand
ing army, with of the dangerous tendencies of
such, and not at the public expense. Mr.. Nash
then paid high tribute to the character of the cit
izen soldiery Of Revolutionary days and alluded, at
some length the part enacted by it and about the
spot on which he then Stood at Guilford, and other
places. He depicted the fight of the victorious
Cornwals with his victorious army, from Guilford,

PErERsBURG.-We are happy to learn from the
Petersburg Express that the merchants of that city
are not thin-s skinned about North Carolina
rency If we have been deceived into the belief
that N. c. currency was under par in Petersburg,
the Express has certainly done much any other
paper in misleading VS. for day after day, it argued
with its merchants that they ought not to refuse n
c. money-that it good, &c. We had also
heard, from various sources that n. c. bank notes
were -uncurrent in Petersburg. distinguished
gentleman of this State recently passed through Pc
tersburg and took breakfast at Of the hotels
and offered in payment N. c. bill. He asked
if he had nothing better, and made the excellent
ply that the money was better than the breakfast.
But, as we said, we are glad to learn that
rency is good in Petersburg and such being the
fact, we withdraw predilecton in favor of Nor
folk and Portsmouth, that prediction being found
ed solely on the supposition that our money was
under par in Petersburg, and at par in the other
cities named.

are coucerued) that one good turn deserves another
In the afternoon the battalion paraded the prin-
cipal streets, making very handsome display, fol-
lowed by quite a large number Of spectators, at
tracted by the spectacle and the enlivening strains
of the Cornet band. On the route they visited by
invitation the beautiful residence of Paul c. CAM
eron ESQ.,, in front of which they had dress parade,
Capt DeRossett acting as Adjutant, and Capt. Har-
rison commanding They were then invited into
the house, and no doubt were Hospitality entertain
ed. On returning to town they dismissed till one
O'Clock, A NJ, at which hour the Wilmington and
Raleigh companies took their leave escorted to the
depot by the Orange Guards. They reached this
city after four o'clock, and the Wilmington
company proceeded on their way home by the five
o'clock train, highly delighted, Judging from what
we heard them say.
Specially, we have to remark that the Committee
of Arrangements of the Orange Guards are entitled
to the thanks of the corps for the very efficient
manner in which they discharged their arduous
duties. The hotel keepers, Messrs. Howerton and
McCauIey, will long be remembered by their guests
for their kindness and attention.
We heard many good things said Of the North
Carolina Railroad Company for their hSerality on
this, as on former occasions, and Of the manner in
which their ofici,lS, Capt. Allen, superintendent,
Maj j. I. West agent, and the conductors in charge
of the trains did their duties
For ourself we return thanks to the Committee Of
Arrangements and to others for their kindness to
individually and for the consideration with which
we met in our professional capacity. We were the
only representative of the press from Raleigh and
came in for the entire honor. Mr. Henderson, edi-
tor of the Chapel Hill Gazette, was present, and we
had the pleasure of making his acquaintance; also
that of Mr. Newby of the Fayetteville Observer who
was also there in double capacity-as Tepresen-
tative of the press of Fayetteville and delegation
from the Fayetteville Independent Light Infantry.
Mr.. Newby is the oldest member living of that an.
| cent corps.
On a former occasion alluded to the appear
ance and discipline of the Orange Guards. They
number about forty members, are well drilled, and
uniform similar that of the infantry of the
| U. S. army. Their commander Capt. Pride Jones
is universally esteemed by them. He is an excel
lent officer. We give in conclusion the list Of com
missioned officers:

eSted in the completion OF that road and they knew IT,
On former occasions the tone of these gentlemen
from Petersburg different from what it was now
A fourishing trade was to oe secured to them by
the building of the Castor bridge; but, they
backing out snow-the trade was secure any how.
This defiance and these threats came with q bad
grace. They were now Indifferent to securing the
trade! If they had told that before, We might
have saved $50, 600. The re construction of that
bridge was asked for an act of justice and
built it. He did not believe the Raleigh and CASTOR
Company were bound to keep up the bridget was
their interest to do So if the road the other side
was fit for use. 1t was useless otherwise. He be-
Iieved that from $4,000 to STE, 900 had been lost
to the Company by trade being forced into another
channel by the non -fulfment of the obligations of
the Petersburg Company. It was now too late,
however, to consider the utility Of that work. The
question simply one of contract. He would now
offer the following resolution to test the matter:
Resolye That the President and Directors hereby
instructed discontinue after the 1st April ext running
cars this Company the Greenve branch of the Pc
tesburg Roanoke Railroad until said road has been
rebuilt And the President and Directors authorized
to charge the price to Castor as to Weldon till SAID
road is rebuilt. s-. '... ...- IS. ..-
Mr. Reeves denied shifting ground since last year.
He always thought this Company bound to keep up
the bridge He referred to the resolution Of Mr..
Branch and thought now that the bridge was built,
it would make the Company cut ridicnloussf figure.
Hon j. H. Bryan was opposed to thesresolution.
The action of previous meetings did not require the
r. ad to be rebuilt before the bridge con-
structed, but that it should be done in reasonable
time, g He deprecated any thing calculated to dis
turb the good understanding existing between these
companies. He considered the Petersburg Company

n Medical Ofce-To tho AGlicted-In this age of pro-
progress when science Is almost miraculous, everything in

of this fact Dr. Young (corner Of Montgomery and Cali

the healing art to let those in need Of assistance know
where they find relief without being imposed upon
In continuation Of this subject Dr. Young would say,
that for the past ten yess he has pursued the practice

with the highest success and that his standing ply

Upon these considerations Dr. Young has confidence in

have appeared in the public journals within the last few
years.
