MARsHALs AND BALL MANAGERS.


In oiden times these positions were
sought after as the highest honors OF
tne University. But whether or Lot
they viii be SO considered in our days,
is yet to be seen. Although there has
been but little said concerning these
offices of ''honor," yet it is evident
that there will be a sprightly contest
for tle positions.
The Phiianthropic has Chief Mar
shall, the Dialectic, Chief Ball Man
ager and also the choice of the orator
for the commencement. In my next
letter I hope 1 will be able to say who
have been elected to fill these positions.
The speaker who are to repre- sent
the two societies at next commence
ment will be elected.
ON MERIT.
At one time the representation of the
societies by original speeches was
abolished. But now the societies
think it proper that they should be
represented by orations, and to accom-
piish this end they will select six men
from each society. Those selected
will write their ora+ions under an as
sumed name. The faculty will decide
upon the three best orations from each
society. Therefore the speakers will
be chosen entirely upon merit, and not
upon popularity among the students.
The selection of these speakers by the
societies will be frpm the three socie-
ties represented at the University, and
from no particular one.
THE VILLAGE-rrS IMPR ovEMENTS.
1. is to be noticed everywhere, the
great number of improvements that
are gong on in the village. The old
Episcopal Church, Which for SO long
time has been left TO decay, will soon
present, under the brush of the
painter, a very neat appearance All
the merchants are increasing their |
stocks, and happier times are looked |
to with great pleasure by all. |

We announced some days ago that
the Sound Turnpika was rapidly ap-
nroaching to completion. Since We
1rrote. we understand that the culverts
and bridges across the various streams
and fiat places in the route of the
road have been finished and covered
over with clay. his enables one to
drive over the entire road, down to
lees Creek, commonly known as
Rrsdiev's Greek, and when the top
f-aish of clay is put on the entire way,

While it lasted, the old Plank

lated particularly for carting purposes,

drive, and when that went to decay
there was literally no road i'll the
vicinity of the city over which a horse

or pleasure t. man or beast. 1t affords
MS Intense satisfaction, therefore, to
he able to record the fact that the

done b. fore this road can be enjoyed |
TO the full! extent, and that something |
should receive Immediate attention. |
We ailude to the improvement of !
Market street out to the eastern limits
of the city. Whoever travels on this
street, and there are but few who do
not fre Iuently travel over it, is struck
with its miserable condition.
There is not a piece of rotd leading
from the city to the Sounds in any d.
rectjou, that is in as bad condition as
this principal street II he heart Of
Wilmington. The country people,
them selves, complain of if. The carts
that come into market from the direc-
ton Of Topsail and New River, have
more difficulty IN dragging their loads
through the dec p sands Of Market
street, than over any other piece Of
road in their whole ronte. The proper
authorities should at once take this
matter in hand. With the superb
bumdance of convict labor which the
courts supply, it does seem that this
street could be easily mended. aud at
a trifing cost. There is an abundance
of clay within easy reach. A thick
coating of this placed upon the sand,
would make good and durable road

The I,ai'an settlement Near aa-
leIgi.

The following account of the settle-
ment of Italians near Raleigh, which
We take from the NeaOs. will not be
without interest to N any of our readers
Wilmington has SO long been favorlte
re-ort for these swarthy sons of Itaiy,
that their faces are quite familiar
Five or AK years ago little group
| of Italian Musicians III their pere0rin-
| ations dropped in upon Raleigh. Per
| haps the excellence of their music for
IL was really gOod--secured then a
| larger share of patronage than usual,
aud made them stay longer here than
| Was +. Fir wont. But their lingering,
| from whatever cause, fascinated them
to our climate, and attached them 20
our pep.e, and with longing unu .ual
with itinerants,,, they wished to become
land owners ON a soil not that of their
beautiful Italy. The leader of the
little parry bought tract about six
miles from Raleigh, and set himself to
the task or making little Italian par
adise ON American soil. The grape
and the fig of foreign origin. toge' her
with the peach, the pear, the apple
aud fruits of American stock were
planted.
The little party has grown into a
colony. By degrees others of their
people joined them. Success attended
them, and the leader of the original
party W .s enabled a year or two ago
to transmit funds to Italy to pay the
passage of his parents. The old folks
nave long since arrived and they are
happy i'll fiUding their wandering chill
dren established as owners of what az
home would be principslity in terri
tory. The colony now numbers TWEEN
ty~seyen in all. Some of them have
learned to speak English, and speak
very well. The children borl here are
equally familiar with the English and
Itdlian languages.
This affords the first instance we
know of in this State where the Ital
ian wunderer has settled down as
steady citizen. ard has cast his for
tune with Us by becoming owner and
tiller Of the soil. These are SO much
delighted with their situation and
good fortune that they will uo doubt
influence others of their friends to
JOIN them, and the State may gra 1ually
attract a new class of Immigrants in
du>trious, frugal, and elninently peace
ful as citizens.

The battle Of MOOre,S Creek.


DIEs-Ks. ED1ToEs: The proposition
of "Pender" to hold a pubic meeting
in Wilmington to take steps looking
the Battle OF Moore's Greek, does not
seem to meet with response In Will
mlngton. Therefore public meeting
for tnAt purpose i called to meet at
Lillingtou (near the battle field of
Moores Cr.ek), Pender county. at
Twelve O'Clock, ON Saturday, the 9Th of
February. It is sad by historians
that this memorable battle of Moore's
Greek was one OF the most decisive
conflicts of the great AmerIc an Revo-
linton; that no triumph of the Aneri-
can forces did more to discourage
st1eat Britain and to bring the war
to close than did this disas
trous reverse to the British armies.
If this centennial fever there,
which appears to be Contagious nni
exists throughout every State In the
Republic, cannot sufficiently stimulate
the patriotic pride of No tn Carollu-
ians to draw out large crowd on the
occasion of this celebration, @e have
overrated the interest which we have
supposed our people to take III one OF
the most iilustrious battles of the Rev
Oiutiouary war. But We do not be-
lieve we overrate their patriotism. We
have all abiding convection that they
will assemble in large numbers and
with such enthusiasm and denonstra-
tions as will leave no vestige of doubt
in the minds of true Americans, East,
West, North and South, that old North
Carolina remains true to her dcvo-
tion of rs, loyal i'll her allegiance to
the general government. and uuyield-
ing in her support OF that constitution
which is the palladium of the liber-
ties of he people, and which teaches
the great American doctrine that the
8 ates are equal, and that North
Carolina has the same rights in the
Union as New York or Massachu-
setts. MooRE's CREEK.
