HOME FROM THE SOUTH
HON. A. S. PlNKERT0N GAVE ADDRESSE S
AT RALEIGH DURING TRIP.
He Was Much Impressed With the Patriotism
of the Southern People in the
Present Crisis.

turns to his northern home strongly im-
bued with the deep loyalty of the south
ern people in the present crisis and i'm.
pressed by their eagerness and ardor in
wishing to support the government, no:
only in war, but in any measure which
calls for fealty to the nations honor and
liberty.
Going to Raleigh, Mr.. Pinkerton there
delivered the dedicatory address at the
laying of the cornerstone of the State
Institute for the Blind, which was ac-
companied by impressive ceremonies.
The institution for the blind is under
state control. The building plans call for
a beautiful structure, and at the laying
OF the cornerstone the occasion was
graced by the presence OF all the official.
military and civic dignitaries of the State
Mr. Pinkerton and Governor Russell
were the chief guests, and. according TO
the Raleigh papers. Mr.. Pinkerton's ad
dress was Ole of the most able, patriouC
and eloquent that had been heard there
for a long time.
Mr. Pinkerton also delivered the main
address at the regular State convention
Of Odd Fellows, which was also held IN
Raleigh. There Colonel Pinkertoa met
distinguished guests from the order
throughout the Union, and his speech at
the convention made a deep impression
He was the recipient of hearty con
gratulations from his brethren. During
his presence at the convention he was
invited to deliver the dedicatory address
ut the State Institute for the Blind. and
the rare honor which fell to him was in
the nature of a great personal compli
ment
While in Raleigh, as in other cities Of
the south. he was entertained with trnt
southern hospitality. At Raleigh he had
the pleasure Of meeting the sister of one
Of the heroes who lost his life on the
Winslow, when shells from the Spanish
batteries worked death upon her decks
Bagley is a name which viii always be
cherished with honor in Raleigh, and
when Mr.. Pinkerton was there a tele
gram was received from the commander
Of the Winslow through the navy depart
ment at Washington, informing the fam
ny that son had been killed.
Throughout the day prominent citi
zens offered their condolences to the BE-
reaved family, which had lost a brave
son. Mr.. Pinkerton found that Raleigh
has claim to further distinction. 1t is
remarkable fact that the first soldier
to die in the rebellion was Raleighite
and the last soldier to die in the late I'M
pleasantness was a son of the same city.
Tragic, it seems, too, when the i:rst
American to die in the present war
claimed Raleigh as his native shrine.

CAMP NOTES,

Adiutant General Cowles stated last
night that under the second call for vol
unteers and even before the Governor
had received official notice of the call
tenders had already been made by forty
six companies, enough to fill UP four
regiments and yet some of the peHny-a-
liners have circulated the report that
North Carolina could not furnish its
quota of men without resort to drafting.
A bigger lie was never printed.
The allotment for position in the Sec
ond regiment took place yesterday. The
captains being allowed to draw for posi-
ton they drew their letters from hat
and were allowed to draw as they had
arrived in camp. Capt Gray. who was
the first to arrive drew first and so on.
Captain Huske was the last to draw but
by a singular coincidence the letter A was
not drawn by any of the other captains
and fell to him, who, under the seniority
plan. would have been entitled to it.
With the newspaper fraternity and for
that matter with everybody else who
visits the camp, Major b. +. Dixon is
one of the most popular officers that has
been connected with either camp. Five
members of his family have enlisted in
the war-two sons, two step-s0ns and
himself.
A special order was issued yesterday
announcing that regular services would
be held in camp at 1870 o'clock to-day,
and that only the regular quota of five
men from each company would receive
permission to visit the city on Sunday.
No accidents. casualties or serious
sickness was reported at the camp yes
terday. but everything and everybody
seemed to be moving along smartly.
DIR. W. II. Brooks, one of the sur
geons of the Second regiment, arrived
from his home in Greensboro yesterday
and was mustered in.
Mr.. Il. II. Garsel, prominent cotton
mill man Of Greensboro. was at the camp
yesterday paying a visit TO the Guilford
Grays.
