FIRST REGrMENr.-The arrival of the two COM
p'nies of the first regiment belonging to Fayette.
vile. caused universal rejoicing in that place. The
entire population turned out to greet them and
every demonstration was made, honorable to the
companies and the citizens. At Charlotte arrange
mcns were made to give tho company Of that place
fine dinner. They met hearty welcome.
Perhaps we ought to say, that arrangements were
made here forthc reception Of the entire regiment
Snppposing it would be disbanded N this city. But
the rumors that it was to be disbanded at Rich
mond and then at Weldon, defeated the plan, and
consequently no preparation was made to receive
The companies which passed through The disap.

number Of the officers and privates of this regiment

Hon. Thomas Bragg.

1t is announced that our felow-citizen, Governor
Bragg, has been called by President Davis to fill
the honorable post of Attorney General in his Cab
met, made vacant by the appointment of Mr.. Ben
jamin, Secretary Of War
The appointment is deserved one, both as a
compliment to North Carolina and to the ability
and worth of Mr.. Bragg. When we called the at
tention Of President Davis few weeks ago, to the
claims of North Carolina to Cabinet appointment,
and presented an array Of names of which any
State might be proud, and among: them the name of
Gov. Bragg, we did net expect SO soon to have the
qualification to announce an appointment from this
State. 1t will be gratifying hope to the people
Of the Stats generally, not even-cxceptng tlst class
who claim to have begun the revolution, and there
.tore should have all the Offices They have stu.
diously for months ignored Gov Bragg and all other
conservatives Of whatever shade, simply because
they were not in'hot haste to destroy government
which many of them had sporn to uphold, as long
as there was any prospect of maintaining it hon
orably. The President, by the appointment of Gov
Bragg, has snubbed the ofice.shriekers .,- -..

AN lrEM.-A Washington letter writer says that
gentleman from North Carolina has arrived in that
City with the two sons Of the late Judge Douglas,
who applied for permission to pass the Federal lines
to their relatives in North Carolina with the view
of preventing the contiscation Of their property in
this State and Mississippi The writer says Lincoln
refused the request he intends to adopt measures
20 prevent the operation of the confscation act
What does he mean-doeS he intend to sue for peace
before the law can have its due course?

The Society met in the Hall Of the House of Com
mons on Tuesday evening last, and was called 40

~ will continue earnestly and zealously to cherish
and maintain our organization. not only for the
manifold benefits it confers in time of peace, but as
greatly useful, if not Indispensable in time Of war,
in fostering and securing the elements Of its sue
cessful prosecution.

ceeded to the election of officers for the ensuing
