INTEREST IN THE ENcAMPMENT.
Chamber Of Commerce to Send n Commit
tee with the Regiment.

A meeting of the Committee on Com
merce and Commercial Csages of the Rich
mOnd Chamber Of Commerce was held yester-
day evening al O'Clock TO consider the commu-
nicati0n Of Colonel II. c. Jones in reference 70
the encampment Of the First Virginia regiment
Mt Wrightsvlle, ". c.. on the 18Th proximO, which
was referred 20 this committee at the annual
meeting Of the Chamber
Messrs. W. T. Hancock, William VI. Bridges,
Samuel Regester, and II. Wallerstein, Of the COM
mittee, and Colonel II. c. Jones we're present,
the latter by invitation 20 explain TO the CON-
mittee the opportunity which this occasion
would afford the businessmen Of Richmond for
further cultivatng and ccmentlng friendly and
business relations with merchants nom all sec
tlOns OF North Carolina.
Colonel Jones explained that the invitation to
his regiment from the Governor Of North Caro-
lima 20 enramp with the State Guard OF North
Carolina az thts delightful seashore resort was
prompted by the cordial desire on the part Of
the people OF that State 70 roCprOcate some OF
the cOurtesies which they had received At Rich
mOnd, and that therefore it was important that
an appreciation Of the honor should be shown by
the regiment In going 20 this oncampment
with full ranks In order 20 accomplish this he
desired 70 enlist the interest OF the Chamber aud
Of kichmOnd's businessmen generally, and he
felt that he could more appropriately do 80 as
the North Carolina troops, which would be
gathered No Wrightsviile on that occasion in
rank and flo, consisted largely Of merchants
from eyery section Of the State, and "a We had
experienced the good results derived from bus-
ness-men's excursions both 70 aud from NOrth
Carolina, he thought this would be most favor
able opportunity Of again bringing the CONNER
cial men OF the tIO States in contact.
He therefore hoped not only that the business
men Of Richmond would In oil cases allow their
employees, where members Of the regiment, n
leave Of absence 10 90 with the regiment in It's
encampment, to last one week from the 18TH OF
July, but also that committee from the Cham-
Der might accompany the regiment on that oc-
casiOn. The expense Of the trip would be very
light. he said, as the rOuud-trip ticket only
Sj.7j, and the location OF the place selected for
the ampment-immediately upon the coast
OF North Carolina, Just about nine miles from
WilmiugtOn-hc was assured was a most healthy
and pleasant spot in all respects.
The committee unanimously favored the sug-
gcstions Of Colonel Jones, and decided that a
circular-letter should be addressed 70 oil the
members Of the Chamber embOdying his yiews,
and that Colonel Purcell, the president OF the
Chamber, should be asked 10 appoint upon a
committee 10 visit this encampment such OF Our
businessmen outside Of tho regiment as were
willing TO 60 az their own expense.
