you be worthy sons, then may you well j

preserve what they so bravely won.
Brother Soldiers: The llag you have
brought with you, though always dear, will
henceforth be dearer still. You have sto<xl
with it on the spot where it tirst Hashed
like a meteor iu the face of the foe, and
where, under its folds, our own Washington
fell like a thunderbolt upon the
tierce legions of Turleton, and swept (
them from tho face of the Held. I need |
not try to quicken youi; reverence for it. It ,
is your bond of union, your pearl beyond
mice. With it your honor is indissjlubly
bound up; and i will only admonish you !
to engrave upon your hemts the few and
simple, but significant words with which it I
was committed to your charge, and to iedeem
to tho last letter tho confidence expressed
by the widow of Washington, that
"as it was never disgraced in her husband's
possession, so it should never be disgraced
in yours."
This speech was received with tho
warmest demonttrations of applause, and
there was then a call fur tho llcv. J. G.
Land rum. of Spartanburi;.
Mr. Landrum spoke at some length upon
the defeat of Gales at Camden, and the
gloetu which overspread tlio Stale in consequence
of that disaster, and '.ow the English
commander wrote home to say that South
Carolina was otico more British again.
Then Green took the command. Before
this, however, there had been i few skirmishes,
and among item King's Mountain,;
Bluckstocks, EutAW Springs and others. (
Green, therefore, thought that if he had
any friends they were in the up country.
So he sent Morgan up the Broad Kiver,
and he took this road towards Ninety Six.

he is there for recruits from the Whigs
and friends of the cause of liberty. Hero
he received information that Colonel Tai le J
ton is some six or eight miles on the other
side of the river, in Chester District, determined
to cross some six miies above him, j
and cut oil* his retreat. Morgan, therefore, !
on the 10th of January, 1781, left Grin !
dell's, and cumo up and encamped on this j
spot, on the going down of the sun. lie, I
perhaps, intended tourer.* the liver, and
go into North Carolina; but his scouts j
catneiti with the :m .nation that Tarleton
was upon his rear, and determined here to
Sive him battle ou the following morning?
re battle, for the perpetuation of which
your monument has been erected.
Mr. Landrum said it was difficult now
to detail all the positions of the armies but
ho thought them, as given by Dr. Johnson
in his recent pamphlet, substantially cor
rect. As to iho river, there is 110 doubt
but it lies upon the con lines uf this muster
ground, though 75 years have worked a
great change, and in the road it lias been
tilled up. Wo are now upon the spot j
where the front line was engaged. Though
the night before the battle was bitter cold,
Morgan was up encouraging the men, proparing
them for the morrow, charging theiu
to stand firm and not to return until they i
had fired three round*. A great de.d had
w : i _i ?
wen binu huoui iue conduct of the militia
upon tbo occasion; but the fact wrs, they
gRve way only because it was intended beforehand
that they should give way. They
behaved nobly and bravely, and when in
Congroas, in after years, Morgan was defending
the system of regular troops, and !
was told how well the militia behaved at!
Cowpens, lie replied that they were regu- |
lars.
When the order catnc from Washington |
to charge, ho made such a charge, that the
incn rode straight through tho ranks, tread- j
ing down the men, and then formed in the '
rear. Mr. Young, who was in the charge,
and was but 1G years of ago, said that ho
changed his tackey for tho best British '
horse he over rode, and made tho quickest
swap he ever made in his life, dust then

British from the field. Morgan rode l>e- 1
twee 11 them and the militia, nhd said, "firm, I
boys, fiiru." The field \va? covered with
tho dead and wounded. "1 need not tell |
you," said the speaker, "that I was not',
there. My head is gray, but 1 am not quite ,
old enough; Lut I would to (iod that 1 had
been there." Then, after speaking at eon- |
siderablo length in reference to the erection
of tho monument, nnd announcing that the ,
peoplo of Spartanburg had determined to 1
enclose it with an iron railing, lie closed j
ntnid the very loudest suit of applause.
There was then a call for I?r. li. S.
liruns, a young member of the company,
who, iu response to tho call, said:
That occasion id speeches were usuallyvery
tedious, and tho task of making hem
m common place as unenviable. Hut upon
this occasion the purpose dignifies tho if t

celebration without feeling it to born piivi- j
