Edenton Gazette , July 13, 1810 July 13, 1810

   The Raleigh Star, of last week contains an account of the Review of the 
different Brigades of Militia of this State by the Adjutant. We notice the 
following:
   The Chowan Regiment merits great praise, not for its skill or tactics, for 
this almost entirely without information, but for the excellent appearance and 
the strong desire is manifested to receive instruction.
   The Regiment formed at about 11 o’clock. After remaining on parade until 
one, it was disbanded for an hour and a half. The Officers all dined together. 
At the beat of drums the Regiment was almost immediately formed again without 
confusion or disorder. Various exercises and evolutions were performed and 
repeated until nearly night.
   This Regiment wants nothing but information. The two majorities are perhaps 
very fortunately vacant. If the Regiment has within its territorial bounds, 
two men of military skill, it may, by obtaining their services in the offices 
now vacant become one of the first and most respectable in the State. A 
Volunteer Company composed of the young men of Edenton, commanded by CAPTAIN 
Mc DONALD, made a very elegant and truly martial appearances. This Company 
owes much to the individuals of MESSRS. Mc DONALD and McCOTTER , as well as to 
the becoming pride and spirit which generally pervades it. A company commanded 
by CAPT. CREECY, a promising young officer , attracted particular attention by 
its handsome homespun uniform. A small, but handsome company of Artillery 
commanded by CAPT. ELLIOTT was attached to the Regiment.
