WE have neither time nor inclination to engage in
ana controversy least of ALL one with the editor of the
Fayetteville Observer, whose capousness and desire to
find fault must show themselves upon every occasion that
affords the slightest opportunity for stirring up i'll feel
ing against the town of WilmngtOD, anything there
in, thereunto belonging or appertaiDiDg. v no sup
poses for moment that any mere desire for the truth
led to its reference to the publication in the Whining ton
Journal of the list of Companies composing the first
North Carolina Regiment? Had that been the mo-
tive mere correction would have sufficed.
We took the list as we found it in the order OF the
Adutant General. We also stated upon what we sup
posed to be good authority that two OF the companies
had been transferred to other regiments and their places
taken by two companies from Fayetteville. All this
was distinctly stated but not to please the prede-
termined grumber of the ObsvrUer. We simply, in get
ting in short notice, wished to give information and
at the time to do justice to all. We did care
in the haste OF getting to press whether mode of
doing SO would suit the Observer.
When we want to disparage Fayetteville friends
and spite of the Observers efforts have many friends
in that town and section, it will be after this time
good while, ard not in mode to be either dictated or
wrongly attributed to us by the Observer. Excuse us
The truth is that the composition of some of the reg
ments has been frequently changed that reference to
the official order appears to be rather liable to msead
In stating, did, that the two Fayetteville Compa
MES filled the blanks left in list thought that the
Companies were indicated with sufficient accuracy
Are there any other Companies of twelve months voun
eers from Fayetteville actually in service but the indie
pendent Light Infantry and the Lafayette Light Infant
ry All the growing of the Observer is piece of ill
natured preentiO usness"

The New York Herald reports that General Butler

Butler was made aware of the result at Bethel be

Likeness from any air or dampncss for long

copy the Daguerrcotype into these Cases from

merts work to attach one Of them to a Head
Stone, When attached to Head Stone Or
Monument, they look as though they were
carved on with the Sculptor's Chissel, for they
initiate marble so perfectly. They are very
! ORNAMENTAL to a Head Stone, and are worth
twice the amount charged for an Ornament
More than Fifteen Thousand Cases have been
sold; this fact alone shows conclusively that
they are fast coming into general use,
The adjoining Of the Sepulchres of removed
ones alleyiates our grief, and soothcs the woun-
| dcd heart. 1t also cheers the bereaved to
know that an additional establishment of the
! grave presents stronger attractions to arrest
| the attention of the stranger, and causes him
| to pause and learn the name, and gaze on tho
! likeness Of one who has shared so largely in the
love Of others. To refined and cultivated
mind there is not more mournful spectacle
on earth than desecrated grave, or neglected
and oyer-growa grave yard. Those in whose
memories the depa,tei live, will come to strew
! flowers on their graves, and drop the tear Of
! affection.
They VIII plant there the Rose, the Lily and
| the Evergreen as nmbems of fragrant and
beautiful Immortality, which they assign them
in the Paradise of God. Above all we would
deplore the loss of those EhcUc$Ses of dear de-
parted ones, which are so distinctly engraven
upon the tablets Of our memory. Although
months and years may clapse since memorable
! Death made us surrender the bodies Of cher
ished ones to the grave, and their spirits to
God, vet are they still present to our minds,
beautiful and ifc-likc.
And who does not realize melancholy pleas,
ure in recalling departed ones, be their image
clothed with the Innocence and loyelness of
| Youth, or marked by the sorrows or cares of
Age
One of these Cases will be scut by Express

To MILWAUKEE BUSINESS MEN.-
The decision on the part of the Mil
waukee bankers to reject Illinois mon
ey Of the "short list" will certainly
drive vast deal Of trade from that
city. This whole northern section re-
ceive their funds through the Bank of
Galena, and it is fooled with money
on that Bank and that which it pays
out. Our merchants cannot refuse to
take it, and to replenish their stock,
they must go to Chicago, where they
can pass the currency they are rcceiy-
ing. This continual quarrel between
the bankers of Milwaukee and Chica-
90, rebounds to the advantage of the
latter every time. When will the
Milwaukee folks open their eyes to
discover the drives Of their Chicago
neighbors p?
Observation-Disclosures having
been received at this place that the
wisconsin Pinery Rifles" company is
placed in the eighth regiment, and that
in all probability they would not be
called into camp within year, many
Of the Grand Rapids portion Of the
company are Disguised and swearing
mad. Some will leave for Madison and
other points-anywhere to get a chance
to fight. We understand that the or
ganizatlon will be kept up, SO that when
called upon, they will have "thcir
lamps trimmed and burning"
Many in this company have been in
the service Of the United States for
many years. The First Lieutenant
was West Point cadet, possesses a
lirst-rate mind and judgment, and has
placed the company, 50 far as drilling
is concerned, in good condition. The
company as . whole arc men Of brains,
backbone and bravery. 1t is to be
regretted that they are debarred, for
q long time at least, from meeting face
to face the rebcllious chigalry.
