the elegant steamer, D. Murchi-
son, on the way to Wrightsville,
to the encampment. The breeze
as the boat glides down the riv-
er is delightfully."- cool and re-
freshing, and I pity the people
who are walking the hot streets
or are cooped up in stores and
Offices in Fayetteville. A trip
down the classic Cape Fear is,
pleasant. About twenty-five
young ladies and gentlemen are
aboard, who left town with me
this morning. The number is
