Bg1 His EXccllency, Governor Ellis, arrived here on
yesterday evenings train from Goldsboro his business
being to personally represent the interest of the State
in the Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation, at the
meeting of the Company to be held here to-day.
The welcome extended to Governor Ellis was almost
mproptu but if it wanted anything in formal arrange
ment it than made it up in warmth and sincerity.
General Cowan and staff met the down train some
distance up the road and accompanied the Governor to
town, where he was met by our three Military Com
panies and by large of citizens who escorted
him to his quarters at the Carolina Hotel.
After brief review of the line, Alfred NJ Waddel,
Esq., on behalf of the citizens and ctizen-soldery of
Wilmington, extended to Governor Ellis hearty wei
come to town. 1t mark of respect due to the
high position which he occupied the first Magistrate
of the State but to that respect for the Office super
added regard for the high qualities possessed by the
individual, whose public career had always been charac
erzed by an earnest devotion to the best interests of
North Carolina.
Governor Ellis replied, in substance, that the warm
reception which he had met, had taken him unawares
That he had looked for nothing less in Wilmington than
kindness and hospitality, but he had not looked for this
very complimentary sElay 1t was to him matter
of pride and pleasure to receive such tokens of the good
opinion of the people of Wilmington, people whose
history from the revolution down to the present day had
been free from blot or stain. AS North Carolnian
he had always felt pride in the energy of the people of
Wimingto n-had always reoiccd in their prosperity,
and voted for every calculated to promote their
commercial interests and this not for Wilmington alone
but for North Carolina, for he looked upon Wilmington
as one of the most powerful agencies to be employed in
furtherng the growth and improvement of the whole
State-in developing and sustaining true North Caro-
lima spirit.
The business which had called him down was connect
ed with great work of the State, one which, If
cessful must pour vast wealth into the lap of Whining
ton and of the State. He came down to consult with
his fellow citizens on the best to the desired
measure of success. He looked forward to the time
when by the Development of the mineral wealth of the
State all doubts and msgivirgs would be removed
when the example of the organization of industry in
the iron works of Deep River would stimulate similar
organizations of industry in other branches and thus
relieve us of the tax pay to the North for the
commonest article of common use.
The address of Mr.. Waddell and the reply of the
Governor eloquently and eelingy delivered, and
) were greeted with hearty applause.
The members of the military companies and large
number of citizens called upon the Governor in thu
course of the evening All appeared gratifed not only
with the tone Of the Governors remarks but with biz
easy, cordial manners.-Daily Journal, ed inst.
