C., SEPTEMBER 30, 1875. VOLUME XL.-NO. 41. SO?TII CAROLINA'S CENTENNIAL. ADDRESS OF THE PALMETTO GUARD, INVITING CO-OPERATION IN THE CEN TENNIAL CELEBBATION OF THE . BATTLE OF FORT MOULTRIE, JUNE 23, 1776. The coming anniversary of the 28th June, 1776, will complete a century since that day when, in the harbor of Charleston, a battle was fought which the historian of the United States has described as " the bright morning star and harbinger of Ameri can independence." ''It was (in his language) an announcement :o the other colonies of the existence of South Carolina as a self-directing re public-a message of brotherhood and union." The Palmetto Guard, maintaining the principles bequeathed to them by the fathers of the Revolution of 1776, reverting with honest pride to the history of their corps, and cherishing "with fond recollection the memory of L their comrades who, in obedience to [the call of their State, laid down their j they can unite, with all irue Ihearted Americans, in commemorat fing the first victory gained in the [struggle for independence. They, therefore, propose, on the 2Sth June, 1876, to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of that battle, so memo rable in the annals of the State of Soutn Carolina, eo potent in the in fluence it had upon the thirteen colo nies then preparing for the struggle destined to take from Great Britain control of them and their fortunes, and to create a government, resting upon the consent of the governed, of free,Eovereign, and independentStates ' Worthy of remembrance by the people of this State as is that battle, and urgently appealing as do the members of the Palmetto Guard to the people of this State to unite with them in the celebration of the return [of the day on which it was fought, do not intend to confine that celebration to the people of this State >nly. To regard it only as an incident of Jtate history, is to take away its large >roportions as an event of national iportance, and to do injustice to the gallant men who, on that day, made iselvea worthy of a place in the )istory of the whole country, of which )ur State is a part. It is, therefore, proposed that the celebration on tho 2Sth June, 1876, >f the battle of Fort Moultrie, on the th June, 1776, shall be, as was the >attle itself, " a message of brother Ihood and union." To all, whether o? the North or South, the East or who cherish with feelings of )ride and satisfaction the recollection that and of every contest which larked the progress cf the thirteen ies to their political independ ence, and the guaranty given in their inal succ?s", for " life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," there shall >e in this forthcoming celebration a ?earty and generous welcome. And f, as is wished for, there shall be, af ;r the lapse of a century (whatever differences have existed during that time), a renewal of the spirit .hich animated those who accon> )?8hed for us the great results of the American Revolution-and that re newal be exhibited on the spot where the men of our State offered them selves sacrifices for the principles they asserted-rif all who now enjoy the blessings secured by the men of that Revolution shall transmit them to who shall survive and succeed Hill Time have added in fame "an?" ?O??I? ? io-UM**? rhose constancy and courage checked in invasion supposed to be irresistible. To recall the* battle of Fort Moul ie is to recall the memories of the ion whose names will live in all time jn honorable connection with it. Like [he battle which they fought, they belong to hietory. They were of this j bt |>tate, but in fighting for their State ? ea iey fought also for a principle, which I wi iey claimed not for themselves and nf leir State only, but for all who with ! ch lem were willing to defend and do th utle for life, liberty, and honor.. "Our law and religion (xnid John Lutledgf) and the Kbeities of Ameri ca shall be maintained and defended lo tb*- utmost of my powe*."-- -/On iy part (he said) a most solemn oath [has-been -taken for the- faithful di*', [charge of my duty." - His duty-thefl* is^our duty, now.^rei fte oath h? swore welk?stleep. Our 'al -mr-- V rr on ye st J ur m efl ar laws, our religion, and the liberties of America do at this day devolve a duty upon us for their protection, as sacred as was the " duty in his day, when that distinguished man declar ed that the government which could secure these great ends was one of which "the consent of the ^people is the origin, and their happiness the ' end." t In that century so near to its close, during which our government has ex ercised its powers, there have been divisions and differences ; and at a recent period these assumed the large proportions of that civil war which convulsed every part of o'ur country. All will hope that such a contest will never again prise; and when re membered, the lofty devotion of either side to the convictions of duty, the unsurpassed gallantry and heroism with which each rallied around and upbore the banner that symbolized that faith, shall ever be recalled as the proud heritage of a common coun try. The civilized w^ld was amazed at the vast resources, /inch that contest exhibited, and wv ich showed that they who then fought each other, when in a common cause they would fight together, would be confident against "the world in arms." A wise people, who live under one government, and in all matters of na tional interest find their welfare in the protection which its power affords, will give to it faithful obedience and honest support. Let none seek to re vive the dissensions of other days, and perpetuate feelings of bitterness and hale.--or prefer strife to quiet, disorder to law. Let all rather make ?rcri?ice of passion and prejudice lo |ecure the harmonious action of the whole people of this widely extended country in the restored bond of a Constitutional Union. Let the hope animate all, that the great heart of the people of the United States will beat responsive to the wish for an "indestructible union" of "inde structible States," which sha 1 guar antee the citizen of every State alike in the enjoyment of those inalienable rights for which Moultrie fought and Warren died. It was for this that the men of this State fought, with no other breastwork than their pens of Palmetto logs on Sullivan's Island ; and it is this which they have trans mitted, as a trust to be preserved. To all, therefore, whose sympathies are in union with such principles as animated the men of 177G, the Pal metto Guard will give hearty wel come at their approaching celebra ron. And all such will gladly unite in doing honor to the dav which in our national calendar marks an event so memorable in itself, and lor the great result of which it was the har binger. To g.ither together on the very spot where the battle was fought; tore call the loDg and sultry day during which the men stood at their guns; Irom ail places, giving a view ot the battle, were crowded together, watch ing its progress with feelings the most intense; to summon up the images ol' the men who, within thc fort, knew no fear, save that their powder might not hold out; to recall Moultrie,cool ly smoking his pipe, and giving his orders, undismayed, for he was there to repel the attack or die; he had chosen his lot, and Motte and Horry were his noble partners iu that lot ; to mark the spot where Jasper spoke those words, " Don't let us fight with out a flag;" in which there was a sentiment of far greater import than was in the mind of the honest and4 bold soldier; and, under the inspira tions which will then prevail, do hon or to those who then did so much for all who now live and enjoy the bless ings they secured-will be an induce ment which few can resist. It is well for us to revert to those days; to commune in the spirit of the men of those times; to revive the spirit with which they dared to do all that gave liberty to the people of these United States. The differences which threatened the Union are ended-settled, we hope, now and forever. War, we :rust, will not divide those whose welfare is to be in peace with each )ther. The first century of our po itical existence is near its close. In ;he glorious reminiscences which ush ?red it in, let us seek to bury the de non of discord; and, with the open ng of another century, let there go ort h to every part of these United States, from the site of Fort Moul r;e, the same message which, on the ISth June, 1770, was borrie from its )attlements to every one of the thir een Colonies.

But one by one th &>t cen tres of population have I com pelled to abandon springs Hs and cisterns in favor of pu water works. Philadelphia, as far as re able to learn, was the first in the country to seek a supt hrough pipes. She completed oderate works in 1779, the reserv f which was in the centre of the c n Penn square. In 1812 she beg! ie Fair mount Works, and in l?p^ sys tem was completed with t. ?antiful reservoir which stands oj bed of rock, and covers four acrjyrith no cher elevations ner- it, apes one hundred feet above he d There are now four distinct ping sta tions, which altogether j throw 15S.000.000 of gallons cater per day into the reservoir. . ift their water from the Schuyl which lovely stream is pretty \ taxed to supply them at some s ns. In deed, the supply inth<mmerof 1S74 was scant, and rat inclined to bad odors. So we t it that Philadelphia will have look to some other source of su to meet the growing wants of he opie. After Philadelphia, t Virginia cities were amongst the to build water-works. Lynchbui ompleted her small works in 1S29, ?reservoir being on the hill.

New York began her on water works later. They wenmmenced in 1835 and completed ?42. The croton aqueduct surpass11 modern constructions of its kindt is forty and one-half miles longt feet nine inches wide at the bottojand seven feet five inches at the sjging line of the arch, and eight?t five and one-half inches high, rapacity is equal to 115,000,000 ph's daily.

An immense sur is drained into this lake; but thcipression is ihat New York will, irhe not long )fif, have to resort to n sources of supply.

Mr. Davis on Resumption? In his speech at the Callaway (Mo. , j Fair, Hon. Jefferson Davie said : ! j Now I am not going to enter int< j that controversy which exists in th* : j country between the inflationists and .jjfhe contK?cti^nistSj bufr thia-titoisaiL . ; Yo\ are fever' to- havefa surplus; jhat " Surplus is tobe increasing ; that sur plus must seek a foreign market Then if you sell for the currency ol the world, it is well that you buy foi the currency of the world alxo. [Cheers.] Ido not mean that you now have too much currency. I think you have too little. [" That's all right.'*] You have far lesa cur rency now in active circulation per capita than either Great Britain,Ger many or France ;. far less than either, and with the segregated character of our population, with the habit 4? preserving money for longer periooS than those you could better bear more rather than le?s. But then, on the other hand, I say, let us avoid any thing like a redundant currency ; for a redundant currency will destroy industry in any country. That I may not be considei ed here as carry ing on any part of the war between tne silver or specie men and the pa per men, for I do not intend to be a partisan about anything, and, least of all, do I intend to forage for either side [cheers] ; but I say, if you tak?. a specie currency, I cite yon to tb/ example of Spain. Spain when sh. discovered her American colonies, was the first of the States of Wes tern Europe in manufactures ; th- ( finest manufacturers of steel, of siikh, of broadcloths, and of many of the articles of art. After the influx of gold and ?ilver, Spain determined ta have this thing that everybody wann ed in abundance ; passed prohibitory laws so that it was not be exporteo and specie accumulated in Spain un til it became in great excess ov<>? every other portion of the world, ar.~ the consequence was, labor became more dear and every article of manu facture was cheaper in other coun tries than it was in Spain. Then, notwithstanding the prohibitory law, the specie flowed out to buy what men required, and after awhile it came to pass that the specie had goue, the industry had gone belore the specie was lo3t, anti Spain has remained poor among the nations of the earth to this day. But the ad vantage of a currency which is used by the whole world, is that it oannot be dammed up in any place. Where ever it is in excess at auy one place it will flow over to some place where it is wanted ; and now let us see. Do you ask me whether I think we can resume specie payment on the first of January, 1S79 V I say I have no disposition the gainsay to wisdom of Congress ; and if Congress v . to declare that on the first day . January, 1879, it should not be . I suppose I should have o ecce [Laughter], and I believe that have just as much power lo d*? the one as the other. We wil abie to resume specie payment v our exports exceed our import! that specie will accumulate in country to pay for the exporti send abroad [That's it"] and never before. [Cheers.] We have now ? product in specie, gold and silver, estimate 1 at 02,000, OOO. We export to pay for that which we cannot pay in articles of exchange -that is the products which we can not send abroad fall short of our im ports about 52 millions That leavea 10 millions, and these 10 millions are hardly enough to answer the de mands of the arts, so that instead of getting more ready, I believe, under the present circumstances, tney will be les-5 ready in 1S79 than they are in 1875. HOW THEN ARE WE TO BE PREPARED ? I say, by the very method to which I have referred. By increasing the facilities of commerce, by enabling the farmers of the valley to send out twice as much as they have sent heretofore and with three times as much profit. The balance of trade then accumulates the currency of the world in the United States, and this balance being thus accumula ted, you have no difficulty in resvrn ing specie payment whether "it is in July or January. Mr. Webster once said the 4th of July was a very good day to do a certain thing. So the 4th o'f July would be a very good day to resume specie payment, if you had the specie. [Laughter.] From thc New York Herald. Are Hie Republicans Inflationists ? Are the republicans in Ohio and New York sailing under false colors? They charge their opponents with be ing inflationists, and this is imputed to the Ohio and Pennsylvania demo crats as a serious crime. It is truly so, and there is no exense for the., democrats, who are false to all the traditions of the party and to the re peated declarations o? the - , leaders duriug *' i ?t? Pu ir the democrats, who h . ' b'^en ouc of power an. h. 7e nad n<- jonvd ovc the currency l.s?i, are wicked destroyers of the public credit, what are the republicans, who have had power all that time? What have they done since the warclosed? Have they really done anything toward the resumption of specie payments ? or have they continually inflated the currency ? The plain fact is that we have to day, under the rule of the republi cans, more paper money afloat and lying idle in the' banks than^we had at any time since 18G5 ; and not only this, but the republicans in Congress have defeated every measure looking toward specie resumption and have opposed and crushed every sound financial plan which has been brought forward. They are fighting under false colors. It is important to make this fact plain, not only that a false pretence shall be exposed, but also to show *-o the people, misled by dem ocratic demagogues, that the country is not suifeiiug from contraction, but from a "Vast expansion of. the cur rency. The truth is that we have to-day two millions more paper money in circulation than in 1874;. twenty nine millioua'jafore'thaiiiin 1873; forty mi liions--moro--than-.in v 1872] one . more o? the lu ? ; . - . .' t : hundi^-: ui '? t?fty tsr& taiKis^ ???* than Ut. . . ? - tue country was prosperous andevery body hadenough t and sufficient employment. ie pretence, then, tn?ttheVepub jos are the friends of a aoarH cur cy is a? baseless and hollow ui the io democratic pretence th^ the mtry is suffering from contraction, t is rained by expansion, and the republicans have done' the work, which the democrats now want t* do over.

We have had quite x surfeit of the religion which luxu riates in the devout fervors of the prayer meeting and the camp ground, which sings eweet hymns and ap plauds sweet sennous, and then goes straight off to its money-grasping and ita pleasure seeking, and its pander ings to self and sin. God forbid that we speak lightly of true spiritual emotion. But the Christianity which Christ demands is something deeper than a song or a sermon or a sacra ment. It is the holy and the humble imitation of Himself. The revival, then, which we need, is a revival of the religion which UOAI-VO fl.wl <i . r>nnim??mlmunt* . ud>ir?h J-'!* .' wiiYu? ; ?.. - twenty vt 'j io?;.

This vas not so in the better days of the Republic; these eira ps wei? then Her van's of the people. Now that they consider themselves their masters, they say " my people." The only instance in which this phrase can be used with any proprie ty is as it occurs in the Bible. Jeho vah says, " My people." He alone has any right to say it.
