(Thcforhbilc nquirer. EDITED BT SAM'L \V. MELTON JOHN L. MILLER. YOR.XVILLE, S. C. WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 3, 1855. MR. BANCROFT. In Mir issue before the last we, published the letter of this distinguished author, in reply to the invitation of our Dommittce, and, coupling his own with j the name of our South Carolina historian, employed these words : " It is from such men as Baxcuoft , and Simms that we expect the Victory at King's 1 Mountain to receive that honovablc mention in his- i tory h'tl erto denied it, but which the importance of the achiev.-ment so justly merits." For this very moderate and editorially common-place effort at a compl incut, we have been taken to task by the Charleston Mercury, in the following style: ? 44 The l'orkville Enquirer, in its last issue, states thatO urge Bancroft, the Historian, has given notice vf his acceptance of an invitation to attend the ap preac ling celebration of the anniversary of King's ; Mountain, and takes occasion to signalize Mr. Ban- I croft :.s one on whom the South would rely especial- i ly for illustrating her heroic annals. 44 Let Mr. Bancroft be invite I and honored?we! do not object to that. He has worked hard at the ' mine of American history, and lias succeeded in admirably setting forth the thoughts, impulses and acts ; of the Pilgrim Fathers.*' But as his published volumes bring us only to the verge of the Revoiution1 y (jontest, and as tho*e volumes everywhere make Massachusetts the heart and centre of the North American movement, we scarcely see on what ; ground the Vorkville Enquirer could found its expectation that Mr. Bancroft would be the true annalist 1 of the B.itue of King's Mountain. 44 But what surprises us especially is, that the Enquirer makes no allusion to the historian who for the first time, and within a few years, has given us a , faithful, graphic, and most carefully collated history of this brilliant and descisivc action?which of all the battles of the Revolution deserves to be signalized as the turning point in our fortunes. Is it possible that Dr. Ramsey, of Tennessee, the author of tlie "Annals" of that settlement, so well identified with the achievement of King's Mountain, was forgotten on an occasion of which his excellent history has done so much to preserve the memory ? The omission is a very grave one, and whether it comes from f'?rgetfulne.-s or design, is deeply to be lamented. The pioneers o'the Carolinas had to fight their own battles, and their annalists seem destmed to cucouuter the same difficulties in winning u hearing to their honest rehearsal of their deeds. 44 No man ef the South deserves better to be remembered and honored than Dr. R amsey, of Tennessee. He has given his life, indeed, to the collection and arrangement of the material- of our early Western History, and his published volume of the An nals of Tennessee is pt the ?ame time one ot me in >>t interesting and one of the mo?t authentic rec .vjs of the progress of American colonisation." We mu?; think th.?t thi. sample ot the J/, a try'.* t ii*:iity and of jts ui-jw-ition to carp at any ami .orything that proceeds from a latitude north of Mason an \ Dixon's line, is entirely uncalled-for. i du?T. and, at this time especially, out of place.? It B\\< ?? n cnnci amongst u<- as the guest of the x i*?. H's labors, preeminent above all, in the elucidation of American History, his varied erudition cxh'dvted upon every page of hic works, the singular f lel'ty and trt t'i fulness which, wo think, has hitherto marked Mie execution of his difficult and very delicitetn-k. and hi- distinguished character as one of the men of" the nation, all marked him as one eminently worthy of a place at King's >( "utain: and we I:.. I that :1011c of the ill-tenipercvl fueling wt-ieh . tr people entertain. however justly, toward t-<>se with who.-, he ha< made hishojue. would be pm-mit'ci : ! *r:: m w'th a cordial exhibition of that time h >n?.red h 'S??i:ality for which wo claim a character, or mar ir. the h-astthosc demonstrations of regard and that pleasurable interchange of kindly feeling, due to such a truest nivK.f right expected at ouv hands. It is true that, i.i the published volumes of his H>>t-?-y. Mr. R\NCFt>rT has elue. '.sted more clearly and dwelt tt greater length upon the events which marked thv progress of the Revolution in the North. But it is also true that the "mine" upon which lie has la? 1 * * 1- ..MAAABd tl>A>W1IV<>ot lion ? ') 'ivl wh1i sul'll sutvvfs uvm II tIn.* surface, and in the abundance of its resources invited anil rewarded the work of research. Not so with the motor:: Is afforded for the proper illustration of Southern history. In regard to the preservation and publication of their enrlv records the Southern people have exhibited a stran.e and culpable apathy, an I thus have rendered many of then mo>;t brilliant achievements a denied book"' and the faithful record of them a difficult and will-nigh uneti.i'n.aMc performance. Tn view of this serious obstacle, we think that Mr. Bancroft has done well ! r Southern history, and at least, as far as his labors extends, deserve? to have accorded to him the meed w hich is due to fidelity and impartiality. The M rciirit is aware that, not long since, Mr. Bancroft made a visit to our State wit!, a view to e dlcet, if possible, materials for the further pro.secutiou Jf his work. During his visit he had frcii'tra conversations with prominent citizens of our State with wh >m we have since had correspondence, in which ho intimated his purpose to devote the next volume of his history to the Revolution in the South, and especially to the consideration of the cmipent claims which, in his opinion, ought to be accorded to the Battle of King's Mountain, as one of /'the most important evcuts in the progress of tl e Revolution, if not '-the turning point in our fortunes.*' When these considerations are presented to the .'/ // //. we are sure that the ground on which w-' "?'.iiid our expectation that the Victory at King's J Motiu'niu will receive In iiojable ment'on in Mr. ( R\xc:suft's history, will be readily admittod. The prime objret of the King's .uountain Celebration is to excite a spirit of enquiry, and substitute a [ generous pride and a habit of earnest research for j the apathy and indifference which h i- hitherto characterized the Mate in collecting and preserving the ! record- of our Revolutionary struggle. We there- ! fore congratulated ourselves on having secured the sympathy of one so well fitted to cooperate with us , iu our endeavor, having from his antecedents no t\ to entertain the thought that Mr. Bancroft would tike so a journey with a view to pervert the truths of our history, simply because the Victory ?? commemorate wjo achieved upon Southern soil 1 w-.n by Southern valor. May we not hope, i v:v.- especially of the interest ?o signally nianii l>v Mr. IkximifT in our CMebratiou, that his future labors will award a just meed of distinction to . tr Hun'. ""* Hiil? and in view of lps reputation as candid and iiti| art ill writer, questioned by none of whom wo have beard save the Mercury% may we not ; rightly indulge the expectation that the same indus- ' try and research, the same ability and learning, and j ihat high regard for the tiuths of history for which , iiis published volumes are so justly admired, will characterize his efforts in the further progress of tlr noble work h* is now pei forming for mir own ami the benefit of posterity? With - an expectation. am! :o an exhibition of grateful regard for the service l.e ?! ?? already done. we shall grc-t hi* ; resent e among-1 u> warmly extend to him the demonstrations of at 1 - ..r>^? imanitalitv. and accord to him everv iin c n * ?. ?- , ? 1 i consideration due to the greatest of American Historian-. i In regard to I):-. R\msay, we have only to say that tin invitation, couched in the most complimentary terms, has long since been trm-inittcd to him. Thus fir, he has not been pleased, as far as we are informed, to accord to it any consideration whatever. SVc should have been glad to extend to him a hearty welcome to our Celebratiou ; and we readily ad- j mit the justice of the words of encomium passec^ip- j on his vjorks by the Mercury, vindicating his claim to "a place in the picture." But we think our duty to j Dr. Hamsay has been fully performed, if not, as we ure inclined to suspect, somewhat overdone. isr Pew authors arc ever ao aware of tha admira- I uon they excite u to afford to be generous. w "A SONG FOE THE GRAND OLD MOUNTAIN." | M< It affords us much gratification and pleasure to | M; id ;rc with the public a chaste, beautiful, spirited and j tin glowingly eloquent tribute to King's Mountain;? to] chaste in its array of purest Saxon?beautiful in its bu truthfulness?spirited in its every sentiment, and no eloquent in each thoughtasit breathes and every word to as it bums;?from the pen of the clever author of to Oliatta and other I'ocms" ?the young Poct-Laure- dr ate of South Carolina.

The attack w is made on the in o iling of t'ie $th of September, with aim ?st u:.pa>\ille!lcd fury, and after m a loss of 1 'MO Rus? .:h and an equal nu...'>cr of English aud French, re >::tcd in ihv evacuation ami ii destruction by the Kuosi .ii army of the ehy proper, n, or, rather, the South side of the fortifications. After o blowing up the defences, and leaving the town a li< i.p J1,1 of ruins, the Russian army retreated across the bay, ,ij and, entirely destroying the bridge, took up theirpo- to sition behind the almost impregnable fortifications , di ou the north side of the city. Here it is expected they will make another determined stand, and con- i hi testing every inch of ground defcud their works to u< the last extremity. The substance of the despatches which have come to hand is as follows:? J "The French under Bosquet assailed the Malakoff. i of the English attacked the Rcdun, and a combined ; force of English, French and Sardinians assaulted the ' ^ Central Bastions. All these attacks were uiadesiiuul- t|, taneously, with great energy aud spirit, supported ad by a terrific cannonade, but the assailuuts uevci the- i ^ less wero six times throwu back with terrible slaugh- ' g0 ter. Finally, however, the divisions of Bosquet and ' Ob :Mahon succeeded in effecting a lodgement in the vlakoff, and the Russians finding all efforts to drive ion out fruitless, evacuated the south sideof Sebas|)ol, destroying everything, and leaving nothing .t ruins behind.

Admiral Brunat telegraphed ftu the 10th that the ind cannot form an exact picture of the victory of e allies.

Biutton and Giles, of w] - the Carolina Times, have entered upon an enterprise c which is worthy of all commendation and deserves to tis - receive from those especially interested a hearty en- y c couragement. They have issued a Circular to the ha s members of the Legislature, proposing, if a sufficient gs . number garranaty contribution of $10 each, to employ in, n Stenopraphicreporters, and publish daily a full, ac- sa M curate and complete report of the proceedings of both g0 !- Houses, including the debates, most of which, rj, s not now come to light. Such an effort 1ms long or -, been needed in our State. Tho masses of our peo- jj, d pie are lanientablyfindifferent to tho proceedings jn, e 1 of their Representatives, or if alive to such nmt- er d j tors, having no opportunity to procure full reports, ^ i, niust*be content with the garbled, meagre aud unsat>f isfactory accounts as they are hurriedly presented ^ t in the daily and weekly journals. In a State like ^ n ; ours, where the greatest liberty is commensurate it witli the greatest publicity in our public assemblies, I- j such a desideratum as that proposed to be supplied c , . J) G " by flic enterprising editors of the Timet is of no orr i diimry value, and, to secure it, the public men of d the State should vouchsafe any encouragement that tri it niav be necessary. We trust that our own Reprc- , i th ', j sentatives. to whom these Circulars have been sent. . 1 us .. l will promptly extend their aid to the enterprise. j.

An issue has recently arisen between the >wu Council of Columbia and the Carolinian which s already attracted much attention and seems desled to be the source of an expensive and angry litition. The essential facts, as presented in newspa r statements, arc thus collated by ft correspondent the Mercury:? "The Council of Columbia having given the conict for the City Printing to Messrs. Bkittox & Co., e proprietors of the Carolina Tows, Dr. Girucs, | editor of the South Carolinian, undertook to pub- j h the proceedings of Council from notes of his own porter. The Council objected to this, and passed resolution to the oiFeet that no one should be allowto attend their meetings with ft view to import eirprocee ling- for publication. Dr. Gtuu::- on one casino attended a meeting of Council; he v.-i - a.-kby the Mayor whether he attended as a reportci .

Tlie Ashville AVirsgivesu.-> the following mourn of a new id-a, or rather an old one of late cxlium- ( 1, in North Carolina, which throws the Maine Liter Law into the shade completely. "Cuasiu" is 1 a heinous offence, an indecency which ought tojje rendered less fashionable?in fact, a legitimate s^rce of public revenue. Although, upon provocation we might be compelled to "pay the piper" occasionally, we wi.sh just such a sanction were in force in our latitude. When the sin must be indulged in, the privilege is worth twenty-five cents at the smallest calculation. Tbe yews states it thus?? "According to a late decision of the Coufity Court for Wake County, Hon. Geo. E. Badger presiding, whenever a magistrate hears profane language, he is authorized to fine the offiender twenty-five cents for each oath or curse; and it makes no difference that the Justice is not at the time in the execution of his office. From his decision adjudging the fine there lies no appeal. Appeals are grnntable under the statute where there are 'parties' only, and there are no 'parties' to such a proceeding. If every magistrate in North Carolina would do his duty in this respect, the odious and abominable practice of profane swearing, now so common, would soon be greatly lessened, if not entirely abolished."
