DANIEL CAMP TO MARCH
IN THE PARADE.
Raleigh Will Have Three Hundred Rep
resentatives on the Spot When the
Cornerstone is LAID

As the Richmond special moved off
from the union depot yesterday morn
ing there were many wayings of good
bye that beat time to the cheers that
came from the young men in militia
uniform and the rebel yelP' that
burst from the threats Of the old vet
Grams. That rebel yell' stirs the
blood of war, and quickens the tide of
life that peace has made sluggish. 1t
is the voice of combat, and carries the
scent of battle.
The veterans of Junius Daniel Camp
were in as high spirits as the young
fellows who wore the blue uniform of
the Governors Guard.
The cold vets" wore cool-looking
crash linen coats and gray felt hats
with a gilt wreath and the letters &C.
W in silver.
