\ large crowd visited Camp Dan Rus
sell yesterday afternoon to witness tue
first dress parade by the second North
Carolina regiment of volunteers and to
boar the music by the second regiment
band. The regiment lined up in regi-
mental line for the first time yesterday,
and it is. as Il whole. Il fine body of men,
strong and athletic, as Il rule, ana cat
cuElted to make Il regiment of fine sol
diers. The dress parade yesterday while
very satisfactory was not quite COM
plcte. as a good many OF the staff oitI-
ccrs have not vet secured their horses.
and only Colonel Burgwyn and his adj
iutant, r.. i. Gray. were mounted, but
the regimental drill showed that, con
sidcring the short time the men have
been in camp, they have become re
markably proficient.
1t seems to everybody q pity that the
boys are not thoroughly equipped with
uniforms and arms.
or course Il regiment without thorough
equipment cannot make Il perfectly cred
table show.
This second regiment. when completely
| equipped and when we'll drilled. is going
to be one of the crack regiments Of tho
volunteer service. Colonel Rurgwyn an.
u their power to perfect the men in drill
and other military discipline and they
are succeeding admirably.
The three battaliOnS were formed in
dress parade ut + o'clock yesterday nf-
tcrnoon and the first general order was
published by -Adjutant Gray by com
mand of the colonel commanding, VIM.
II. S. Burgwyn.
