Mr.. EDITOR As nothing has greater tendency
to excite the hospitality and strengthen the friend
ly feeling between distant PORTIONS of cIizens,
l have thought it well that such occasions our
general reviews, and their incidents, should be no.
liced in the public prints. The late muster in this
county afforded favorable opportunity to citi


zens for display of their friendly courtesy to-
wards strangers, and enabled them also to repay
in part debt which they owed to the gallant Off
of the good old chivalrous county Of Caswell.
Our review took place in Oxford on the 10th inst.


Gan unusually fine day,) and never did the militia
of Granville turn out stronger or appear 10 better
advantage. They had heard of the. military expe-
rience and soldierly qualities of their new Genera,
and were emuleus oG dong their duty in the hand
soonest style. Having been paraded at O'Clock
in the beautiful grove and lawn in front Of the resi-


dence Of Mr.. Thos. Lewis the Colonel Command

Captains Webb and Moore, and the beautiful ca

(who attended Gen. Lee by invitation, were soon
upon their high-mettled steeds and made most
brilliant and imposing appearance. Those who
are better acquainted with these things than the
writer, speak in high terms of the military qualities
of Gen. Lee and all know that he and his staff are
gentlemen of the old sehoo-frank, generous and
manly. 1t should be stated that during the re-
view Capt. Allen obtained leave of absence for
himself and company, and marching down the
lawn made q most vigorous and wel-sustalned at
tack on certain refreshments furnished by Mr..
HeTndon. After demolshing the enemy, they gall
loped back 10 the feld and the review being over,
the whole militia were put in motion, and to the
sound Of martial music, with banners flying, march.
ed down the main street Of Oxford. Every win
dow and balcony and door was filed with the sweet
faces Of the dviner sex, and the gallant Generals
and their staff had TO sustain withering and pro-
longed fire from successive batteries of flashing
eyes. When they got opposite the new and sPten-
did mansion of Mr.. r. N. Hern6on, from the top
of which were towering score of flags, the ere
was awful for his house was literally covered with
at least hundred "sharp-sheotvrs." & he officers

a bachelor and therefore nameless) performed The
same ceremony with his chapeau and sword, to the
great amusement of the ladies and'ths by-standers


After the review, Gen. Lee and staff, all the Off
