FIRST REGIMENT n. G. CAvALRY-This splendid
corps arrived IN town yesterday about o'clock some
what earlier than anticipated by the public They
entered the city by way of Halifax street. thence passed
down Market to Bank, up Bank to Sycamore. and
thence to the Lawn. The extraordinary sight of an
entire regiment of cavalry has before been wit
messed In this city, and of course hundreds of our citi

we but express the general opinion when we say that
one OF the finest regiments in the service of the
Confederate States The men are all splenddy mount
ed armed and equipped and nothing is wanting to make
the OUTFIT complete The bravest and best material OF
the golant Old North State is n this corps, and she
may feel justly proud of such soldiers The regiment
numbers $50 mel and $50 horses The men stitched
their tents (about $50 in number} on the Lawn and
the were quartered in the square opposite the
Lawn. Though the weather was exceedingly unpleas-
ant many persons visited them during the afternoon
1t probable that the line of march for Richmond will
not De taken up before O'Clock to-day. In the mean
Time II our readers desire to gallant set of men,
let them go to the Lawn.
The following is list of the officers and companies
of the regiment

LIGHT READMG.--The Richmond Enquirer Is en-

Virginia State Convention in secret session. 1t fills
ak long columns of its Thursdays issue with the COD

Our Monsieur Tonson'' our State Convention will
also meet just directly, after a while, little time,

NAL to keep dark
We have not got copy of Esop, aud alter the ath-
er queer mistakes made by General Tay!o and Hon
Abraham Rencher in their attempts to quote that an
Gent fabulist from memory, We approach the subject
with due difdence, but nei2bbor informs us that IN
Esop there is tabled battle between the birds and the
beasts wherein the bat tried to act the part OF shrewd
politician by being the strong sde whichever that
might BE- SO in the morning, be thought the beast'
were the strong party, and be walked about on the

afternoon, it appeared to him, that somehow the beast
stock was rising be ured his sails and said that on
mature reflection, he certain be was 10 bird at all
but only sort of By this time, both parties
had lost confidence in him, and they drove him off, and
be became iguomnious, generally speaking after
wards being ashamed to show bis face, merely fitting
around obscurely at night
Mr. Russell has in his letters from this country fa'
surpassed the bat in bis changing and twisting arounc

demonstrating Confederate success, and at another
Federal victory-now ridcung the route at Bull Run
anon casting surs the Confederate troops. He bal
thus lost credit with both parties here, and with the
partizans of both views in England. But whatever
other brdy or beasty character be may assume there
is one thing certain At the bottom OF it all he is
genuine Bull, who heartily ecprocates the dislike which
his conduct has inspired and who desires nothing better
than to see both parties ruined, this desire being only
modified by prudential considerations connected with
commerce and cotton.

Wilmington & Manchester Rail Road Company.
AS will be seen by the notice of the Treasurer, 10
another column, the Directors of the above Company
have declared dividend Of per cent upon its cap
tal stock payable and after the frs! day of Novem-
her, Of which six per cent is due to the present
and three per cent. to the preceding year.
We may well congratulate the holders of this stock
upon their prosperity, especially this dividend is to
knowledge truly and fairly made out of the actual
earnings OF the road after providing for all liabilities
and laying aside to be applied to the sinking fund
The receipts of the road this year have slightly ex.
ceeded those of the year before say two or three
thousand dollars but at the same time from causes cas-
lily understood the cost of operating has also been
greater.
Had the war not occurred it is more than likely that
the business of the road would have increased in much
greater degree than it has Indeed last year the nett
earnings Of the road fully justified dividend, but it
was deemed best to defer it for the purpose of exn-
gushing sufficient amount of debt to place the credit
of the Company beyond the reach of contingencies
We think that this pleasing point which, after long
waiting, has at engh been reached in the history of the
W. en-. R. R., proves more concusively than any thing
else that Southern railroads will in the end pay better
than those Of any other section, and that their stock
holders are willing to postpone their immediate dvi-
dends to sustain intact their credit and resources longer
than the stockholders Of any other railroads.
The President, Directors, Superintendent and other
officers Of the Road require higher encomium than
this result Of their abors under the trying srcumstan
ces Of these war times,

THE NORFOLK DAY Book expresses the opinion that
Norfolk 10 shortly to be attacked Thisopinion found
ed upon information derived from lady who has lately
returned to that city from the North the attack to be
simultaneously from Old Point and Hatterae.
We think il probable that in part these conjectures
are we'll founded We believe that an impression exists
in circles likely to be well informed that general dc
mopstraton aor the coast is contemplated, and it is
regarded as than likely that Norfolk will be the
object of severe attack, The part of the programme
about attacking South from Haeras is chimerical as

DISHONEST SPEcULArIoN.-1he practice of buying up
articles of prime importance, such as wooden goods,
provisions coffee, sugar. SALT medicines, &c. &c, for the
purpose OF selling again at immensely enhanced prices
has, we observe called forth energetic circumstances
from the highest authorities 10 many of States.
The Governors of North Carolina, Alabama Louisiana
and Tennessee have considered the subject worthy of Of
fetal attention. and expressed accordingly their indg.
nation in public messages.
Unfortunately, this evil is not open to legal cor
rectlon, especially in the South, where jealous guard
against any inraction of our legal or constitutional
rights offers happy contrast to the state Of things
North The only recourse in the case of these specn
ators of their countys necessities seems to rest with
individual patriotism Let no goods of the character
designated be sold in large quantities except to regu.
