MILITARY INspEcTIoS.-On Wednesday
last, the few citizens VITO were appriZ?d OF
the visit of Gen. Mcdowell, cor manIer Of
theSouthern and Gulf Department, assembled
at the Depot and witnessed with pleasure at
inspection Of Maj. Stewards fine body OF
soldiers, forming tie garrison at this place
The General was on his way from GrecnT!e,
at which place, we were Informed by Con-
ductor Bush, 4 very complimentary reception
had been given him the night previous. 4
little ahead OF time, the train rolled into The
Depot, ard tue garrison troops being put to
the present arms, Gen. Mcdowell, and his
aid 1t. J. II. Holmes Stepped out and were re-
ccivcd with all hoGors, AMI the inspection 1t
once commenced. Time WAS prcciouS-.or
however accommodating Mr.. Bush might be
he could not encroach much on his schedule,
bat sufficicut staT WAS allowed, not only
for thorough inspection Of arms, @ccoltre-
ments and dress, which were all found in
good condition, bat for 1 brief conversation
bet"een the officers, when AT given signal
the visiting Ut:icatS once more 90; aI'o"ii the
cirs and they rolled away.
Il was an interesting Sgh;-tho$c trained
regulars, standing grimly, risidly erect, eyes
front, rs .hcy went through the manual Of
arms.
Gen. Mcdowell is ! fine sollierIy looking
man, apparently between fifty and sixty years
of age, quick in movement, ard showing eyi-
icGce CT great iirmncs$. His aid, L..
Holmes, brought to mind the description Of
some Of Charley y O'MalIey's dashing charac-
ters.
The appearance o: tie resident officers,
Maj. Stewart, Its. Miller aad Anderson, in
ful! regimcatal suits, was fine indeed, and
their so!dicry bearing, together with the au-
mirabs discipline and perfect drill shown by
their command, elected mach admiration.
Since penaing the above We learn thSt there
is probability that Major Stewards COM
mand will soon receive orders for removing
to another sphere. Should this be true, it
will be regretted by I'll who are acquainted
with the officers OF The garrison, who have
proved themselves TO be agrecably pleasant
and kind III ali their relations, whether
official or social.

Cider.
To the Editor of the Press:

10 the Editor Of the Press:
In yorr paper of to-day you speak as fol
lows of the Legislature:
The Legislature left the cider question il
more doubt and uncertainty than the Schles
wls-Hostein question ever was.
The Legislature, the session of which has
| just now closed passed many good acts, and
refused to pass many more bad ones. Ii ycu
can, in any Just sense, be considered as CIV
! ing credit for the former you certainly do moi
for the latter, whele probably the greater
credit is due But to the cider.
The Legislature repealed all the laws ol
last year relating to the sale of cider, and re-
| stored the law as it formerly was upon that
subject. The restored law is section 25 o
chapter % of the revised statutes, and is in
| these words:
SEC. 25 The provisions of this chapter shall
| not extend to the manufacture and sale of un-
adulterated cider i'll any case, nor to inc made
from fruit grown in this State, nor to the sale
by agents appointed under the provisions O.
this chapter, of pure wiLe for sacramental ant
mechanical uses.
Such is the law of the manufacture and SALE
of cider, and it is all the law there is uper
this subject.
To be sure there is law which provides
that If any person makes his house, shop, o.
place anuisance by the sale therein of in
toxicating liquors, such nuisance may b,
abated.
Now the cider law, like all law, is to b
proved by its practical working, and whethe
it be wise or unwise remains yet to be seen
but submit that it is plain, misleading n'
one, and its provisions are not in ''doubt ant
uncertainty W. II. VrNToN.
