In CLovER-In passing around the encampment
at the Fair Grounds on Monday, we came upon 4
happy set of fellows in the quarters Of the Thomas
vile Rifles. They had just received from the fair
ladies at Trinity College sundry boxes filed with
good things-boiled hams, roast turkeys, chickens
cakes, light-bread biscuit and divers other xins"
for the comfort of the inner man, all which was
temptingly displayed in the commissary department
Of the companys quarters. One of the company
asked minister, who was round on visit to stay
and dine with them, stating that although several
Of the company could say good homespun grace,
he thought none Of them could do justice to the
subject on this occasion, and therefore he wished a
preacher to give thanks for them. We can assure
the ladies about Trinity that their appropriate pre-
sent called forth the very heartiest thanks from the
recipients.

WILMINGTON N. c., May Q, 1851.
M EDITOR: Having some business to attend to
for our Company, and some of an urgent character
myself have been enabled to obtain furlough for
few days
find upon my arrival at this place, the most in
tense excitement prevailing. The streets are al
alive with military enthusiasm, and the flag Of the
doors, flag polls, and from every place where one
can be hoisted. The Flying ARTILLERY, Captain, h
H. Cowan, numbering, as I understand this morn
ing 125 men, present the grandest military appear
ance ever witnessed. The company Is composed
of some of best men in town, and ID an honor -
well as serviceable ornament to North Carolina.
Another item find here Of interest is th.s Book.
News Agencies. IIl9y have stopped taking all
daies, weeklies and monthlies, and are now sup
plying our people with everything in the way Of
Southern Literature and Southern Newspapers.
think the Booksellers Of Raleigh should do likewise.
To patronize those internal devils at the North for
the sake of little amusement, literature, DC, Is
paying them to cut our threats. The N. 7. Ledger,
Mercury and Others arc all rank abolition sheets in
Sleeps clothing. do not know that political sub
jects have ever been introduced in their papers, but
well know that these vile wretches are ct the head
of them. Harper's Weekly, have no doubt, has
been stopped circulating in Raleigh ere this. Tho
following is taken from the Charleston Courier Of
the 7th inst:
"Many of the Black Republican papers, which
are as far below the standard of morality Is tho
earth is from the most distant planet urge on tho
mad crusade against the South from considerations
in themselves reasonable and high" r.
1t is to be hoped that no true Southern News
Dealer will any longer patronize these Black Re
publican sheets. -.
There are now nine regular organized military
companies in Wilmington. Every boy Of ID to tho
old sres of 70 have enlisted in some company, and
are drilling every night All Of our public halls
are occupied As drill rooms, and North Carons and
Virginia Casimeres are in great demand IS
The Standard has undoubtedly large c;rcula-
ton in.Wilmngton. 1t is good Southern News
paper, and should be well patronised. S. n.

The guns found to be so effective in the Sandman

obong shell, which explodes when it strikes. The
cannon is riaed, and the shell has leaden belt
around the middle, which fits in the rifles, so that
it can be thrown with great accuracy two thousand
yards, scattering particular destruction, when it
strikes all around it This gun can be carried by
