WINSMITH, - At *1we ciamnti"-L - e 25t1,m T855 antd se iin * teiora" tion of a Battle fought at that place du- a ring the War of the Recolution. The citizens of Spartanburg District, hay- n ing determined to celebrate the Atniversa ry: of the Battle of Cedar Springs on the 25th of last month, selected Dr. J. Win- l smith, 'a 'Representative of the District in f the State Legislature as the "Orator of the day." We.present our readers that porti.mn .of Dr. Winsmith's excellent address, which 1 relates the incidents of the battle. This I narration gives a very interesting account t of one of the fiercest battles that were fought in this State, during the " period that i tried men's souls." "On, the 13th of May, 1780, the Ameri can ariny of Charleston, commanded by General -Lincoln, surrendered to the British forces under the command of Sir Henry Clinton, by whom it had been for sometime beseiged at that place. The surrender of a *lidle army, constituting the force which ~Ihad been chiefly relied on for the defence of .our.State, could not fail to have a most im auspicious effect on the cause of the Revo-. lationin South Carolina. Many who have .been 'active and zealous before, now appear. .ed inelinied to abandon the cause, as a hope less effort.. Others who had been wavering, actuated .by that natural impulse, which al-ways inclines some men to join the stron gest party, now~ abandoned their noutrality, and joined the enemy. " Sir Henry Clinton, after the fall of Char :leston, looking upon South Carolina pretty .much as a conqured province, left Charles ton' for New York, leaving four or five thou sand troops under command of Lord Corn Swallis, for the purpose *of overrunning and .bolding possession -of the State. To ae .domplishl this object, Lord Rawdon was to ..oceupy the Eastern portion of the State, and he 'soon established himself at Camden. Aholonmel Cruger was ordered-to take posses. ion of Cambridge, and the surrounding autfry. And, in accordanc'e withi thie poli * y'f the.British, after what they consider .the general submission of the* States to ~ducrse the royal force by embodying the ' Edle of the country as a British militia. d~~i6fFerguson, a brave and distinguished officer,.yas sent to the upper districts to train theanest lojal inhabitants, and attach them to his corps. - Ferguson encountered no Qppdostion,- and was. quite successful for Bome time, laz -he objects of his mission, and even until he wintered -the lower part of Spartanburg District. About this time Colo nel Sumpter, whose. name in connection ~with our Revolutionary struggle cannot fail xecite in .the breast of every Carolinian - Afre armest emotions of admiration and itt e, had, at the head of a little band' dfre n, returned to his own State. ~Tlie same time, too, Major ~Clark of .sogi4, who -had been repulsed in an attack -upoR-*ugusta; marched through the upper fe th-Carolina to join Sumpter, lie njar W atawha in Yor Distrt.o tance of mnaking some show of resistance tbo the hertofore unimpeded progress of Fer guson, requested additional force, which he proposed to furnish and- move over into Spartanblurg- District -fer tbqypurpose of an --noving Fprguson..-boping - that - it woold at least, have the effect of revivi'ng the droop inglaplits of. those who were favorably dis posed to the Whigi cause. "Ju A.cordanlce wit!h this 'arrangemenlt, -4kossed B;oad River; and, spoine where .in 'inPirch. toward~s Ferguson, wvas s.nex. -peptedly juined by Col'onels McDowell and - ShemwitLbs few .-nen. After McDowell anid Shelby jojn~i himri wats determined, ni the.exp i-o had bten entrustedl to Clark,-he should still retain 'the command, "'Fe'gulon was informed of this move. ment, before Clark approached very near him, and determined at once to force him to makes precipitate retreat or fight. And as Clark's command. was far inferior to that. of the enemy badly equiped and provided for, in every way, prudence compelled him to re treat. In his retreat he encampec for the night, somewhere near- Fair Forest' Creek and about tvo miles from this plrc e. Be fore day the spies came in, and gave the in formation- that Fergusoar was within half a mile of them. Clark immediately resumed his retreat and. Ferguson coming up to his encampment, and finding that he had left, immediately detached Captain Dunlap, with about sixty or seventy British dragoons and one hundred and fifty. or sixty volunteer mounted Riflemen in pursuit, with orders to overtake Clark, and engage him until he could bring up his whole force. "Somewhere near this place-just on yon hill, as I have always understood it-the spies came running in, and informed Clark that Ferguson's horse, were in sight. Clark, with the approbation of his whole command, immediately determined to fight; and, con sequeitly, formed, and wafted to receive them. Dunlap's volunteer mounted. Riflemen, who were in front, recoiled, and gave back at the first fire of their opponents, and Dunlap found it difficult to rally them. Having done so, however, he placed him self at the head of his Dragoons, and led them on, followed by the mounted Riflemen, to a bold and spirited attack. For awhile, it was a fierce contest; but Dunlap having lost about half of his Dragoons, and the Volunteer Riflemen not spearing. much a disposed to come into very close quarters, t he was compelled to- retreat, and, was pur. d sued with great vigor and spirit, until he met Ferguson, who had put his whole force d in motion to relieve him. -t " Clark, with his s:mall band, being una. ble to oppose the whole force of Ferguson, i, was now compelled to retreat. And, per. baps, in that retreat,- he. displayed equal 0 :ourage, and more skill, than was exhibited a in any part-of the engagement; for having F .altured about twenty British Dragoons, h ad several volunteer Riflemen, much atten' b ion was necessary for: their security-and tj as the Dragoons were the choice troops of erguson's command, he felt, and avowed a le letermination to re-capture them-and tak. tt ng thec e. n Majo kirmish ar ble posi - vas ther . - ow Big - . ! . oldiers at the Us.m u weud, iauapr ut.arK a vas enabled to hasten his retreat; and Fer. p uison, finding it unavailing, desisteu' from rther.pursuit. " I have thus given you Fellow Citizens, rhat I consider a correct account of the N cattle of Cedar Springs. I have with much ta are and considerable labor, examined .all t< he statements upon the- subject, and find w hem materially dilerent. In some of them w t is stated that the Battle was fought before lay at Clark's camp, and no notice is taken o )f the presence of either McDowel or Shel- d )y on that occasion. But the Biography of General Shelby, published in the National ortrait Gallery, states that Col. Shelby had h he command in the battle at this place and a hat lie had six hundred men. Thus it will e8 seen howv different and contradictory are a he published statemients upon the subject. Ihave, however, examined them all careful y, and compared them with the tradition of i, ~he country--with the statements and de larations twhich I have received from the j, nst reliable personial authority-from those who were active in the engagement. And , Ihave recently examined the written state nerits of a revolutionary officer, who com- h Panded a Company in the Battle at this lace and whose name, but for the relation I bear to him, I should be proud to mention ' this occasion-altogether satisfied, thata t would be considered high authority in a ommunity, w'here, through the course of a ong life, much of which wvas devoted to the ervice of his country, he alwvays received a he highest mark of the public confidence, and the most grateful acknowledgement of g is Revolutionary services. I have carefully xamined this, too; and after the fullest ex amination of all of them, I have no doubt but that the statement I have just given isc materialy correct. " All the accoiints concur in establishing a the conclusion, that our little Revolutionary , band earned for themselves, on this occasion,i the reputation of Patriot Soldiers. Not a I man gave way. Every one performed the, part assigned him, wvithi promptitude -and spirit. Major Clark was a distinguished officer, and a brave. man;- and on this occa sion, he commanded. with great skill, and fought with a daring courage amounting almost to rashness. And the biographer of General Shelby says, that be had often heard Shelby mention -the circumstance of his stopping in the midst of the Battl-e ter look with admiration and astonishment at Clark fghting! And, I know, Fellow Citizens, that I express less than you feel, when' on this occasion, I offbr to his memory, your behalf, and for myself, the tribute of our most grateful acknowledgment.". . A man wvith an enormously large sucker called on a dentist to get a tooth drawn. After the dentist had prepared' his instru menits and was about to commence opera tions, the man of mouth began to strain and stretch his -mouth till he got it to a frightful width. " Say, Bir,"' said the dentist, "don't trouble yourself t~o stretch your mouth any wider, for I intend to stand -on the outside of it to draw your tooth." 1.THE phrase fighting on his own hook, is now more .elegantly . rendered, " waging war upon the prudent individuality of his person. al curve."

We have recently been thrown into large companies of a strangers at different. placea and among the-most disagreeable of our re-, minscences is that of profane language em ployed more constantly and unreservedly than we ever heard before. Whether- this abominable practice is actually on the in. crease, or :we were unfortunate in falling into an atmosphere of society peculiarly. in fected with this moral malaria, we are una ble to determine. Certain it is that our ears are yet tingling with the horrid oaths and narses we havevheard ascending almost con stantly to heaven.. from persons in every grade of society. With no afiectation of refinement, we now give utterance to our Sentiments on the subject, and solemnly pro. !est against this most gratuitous and daring ustom .by which the iajesty of the Supreme s daily insulted, That a profane and irreverent use of the ame of the Creator.:and Redeemer of the world is a coarse vulgarism not to be tolera. ed in the society - of ladies .is universally dmitted, Even among the more-refined of he other sex, such language is only employ-. d out- of their company for - the occasional rpose of adding point or emphasis to their nost earnest conversation. But many per ons who reprobate the practice reserve, to hemselves the privilege of using such Ian ,uage on special occasions, and are willing o tolerate in others that which they will tot altogether abandon themselves. By the ustonis of society therefore it appears to be onsidered sufficiently genteel to utter the ost impious language in the presence and efiance of the omnipresent Jehovah, provi ed that ladies are not within hearing, and e occasion seems to call for more -than or inary earnestness of expression. We utill not stop to inquire whether such eference to female taste is not itself insul-. ng, by comparison, :to the majesty . of leaven. Profane language is directly and nmediately impious. It is, a clear, emphat r, and undeniable declaration of the. individ. al that he does not and will not 'pay even decent respect to the Creator and Supreme uler of -the universe. In the category -of rman crimes it stands next to that form of asphemy which the scriptures teach us is e sin never to be forgiven. We are persuaded that the general.preva nee of the custom is due to the impression at it is a sign of manly courage. It is e special vengeance of H eaven !-Raleigh Dst SIGNS AND WONDERS.

War SnOULD I Grvs?--Where God is rgotten, it is pitiful to see how riches har en the heart of him who gains them.-. iometimes the man who was liberal while he va poor, becomes niggardly as he becomes vealthy. TIhe tendency of gain is to nour sh selfishness if the hand bestows it is over ooked, and the thirst of selfishness can meer be slaked. The reservoir of the cove ous never overflows.

THE ART' OF gINGING.-No provision is made for instruction in vocal music in the public schools of Washington, nor in any of the ordinary private schools of which -we have any knowledge. In. some instances, by the voluntary act' of the' teachers, the children 'are taught to sing a fewv songs, but not the elements nf music; and this is true also of the Sabbath Schools. The love of musi'is universal among tIle children of this city, .and it is manifested in every possible manner. They all sing. in their own iniper fet manner. In every Sabbath School they sing in full chorus. Upon every public oc asion in which they are lrought forwvard .they sing. .Every concert room accessible to them, by means of a low price allis sion,.'is full of. them. They are adepts in " Ethiapian Minstrelsy ;" they sing with gus to the -songs of the yellow 6overed books in every political campaign; ylet they are snot taught to sing correctly,4nd they fail to'c-e quire in youth a branch of. .education That is then easy of acquisition, but is difficwit to enter upon in later years.. .We regret this great omlisionm. Music of the proper kind greatly harmonizes and ele vates the, character of both children and adults, but in the former -its infiuenmce is strikingly perceptible. The standard of music can only become elevated in this city by an appreciation of the adbject by the community in general; in other words, by the general dissemination of 'musical educa tion, and especially in 'the - department of vocal music. Trhere are a~ number of pro. fessors of music among pa who are capable of imparting the iieeded ilstruction in an efficient manner. May Awe unot hope that the directors .of our system. of public schools, the teachers of privato schoots, and parents generally, will eQ-operate in a determined ef'ort, to institute teaeherships of vocal mu C' sic in every school, or to establish special schools of instru:tion. in singing, each for the benefit of the children of several common schools, at hours not conflicting with the usual routine of studies ? We would advise persons capable of giving instruction in this branch of education to. go forth themselves and urge this subject upon the attention of all who should feel an interest in it.-Na. tional Intelligencer. L NEVER . heard of a man that stole ' his winding sheet, or fought for a coffin, -or went.to law for a grave. The bold trans gressor covets no such goods. A parent who sends his son into the world uneduca ted, and without skill in any, art or science, does-as great an injury to mankind as to his own family ; he defrauds the community of a-useful citizen, and bequeaths to us a nui sance. He-that clothes, the poor, clothos his-own soul. He that sweetens the cup of affliction, sweetens -his own heart. He that feeds the hungry, spreads out for himself a banquet of heavenly dainties. A fondness for low company is generally the conse quence of, ignorance and want of. taste; nevertheless, it should be remembered that all is not gold that glitters.

TRADE WITH THE NOETJ. A Philadelphia paper, speaking of the intenser and more offensive Abolitionism o Now York, compared with that of its owr brotherly. city, observes: "We do not wonder that the business men of the South dislike to go to Now Yorb to buy their goods or transact their mercan. tile operations." In this connection we may. be permitte'd to say, that we wonder that they cross Ma. son and Dixon's -line either for pleasure or business. They cannot travel anywhere in the hireling States, as gentlemen attended by their body-servants, without being mob= bed and plundered. They might go to Eng. land and traverse the continent, without the slightest molestation ; but . here, at home, if they venture into what is called a "Sister State," solemnly pledge to respect our rights, if they escape with the loss of their proper. y and without bodily harm, they may con. ider themselves fortunate. We do not know that there is any difference between New York and Philadelphia, or any other own over the border,. in this respect. Eve. ywhere, the Southerner is subjected to the same outrage and spoliation; everywhere, uis rights are assailed and his person insult as though- he were a foreign enemy. - In hiladelphia, a pretence of palliating the wrong may be made by judicial dicta, thrown ut on irrelevant points'; but the main griev. Lmce goes unredressed. The Southerner is nobbed and robbed of his property. The nass of the population, jealous of any en roachmnent by blacks on their monopoly of ervitude, or harboring an instinctive abhor once of a gentleman, attended as a gentle. nan desires to be, sympathize with the rob. iers, encourage them, and shield them from arm. The wonder is, and truly it is a wdnder, hat the people of the South hold any inter. ourse of pleasure or business with commu. ities who show, by their actions, that they. ntertain such feelings %bwards--them. A atural pride and becomi g1elf.respect, to ay nothing of self-int st, one would sup ose; would speedily erect an impassable arrier to all social civilities or pecuniary ealings.

BURIAL Dr MooNLIGHT.-The Petersburg express tells of the burial, by moonlight, of . highly esteemed young man, who died ecently at Portsmouth of yellow fever. As is the universal ceustom with all who lie of the yellow fever, the interment of the >ody took place in the evening of the samie fternoon thlat the death oc'eurred, (about 8 ~'lock,) and, our informant staties, was the nost solemn and-impressive scene 'he ever vitnessed. The full orbed moon shone with mwonted brilliancy, and the marble menu nents and dreary looking tomb stones of he cemetery, reflecting their dark shadows round the uncovered grave,. invested the sene with almost painful solemnity. Added o this a deathly stillness prevailed, not a ound intruding to disturb the quiet repose f the dead; and as the minister of God, in low and mournful accents, offered up a fer rent invocation to the Heoavenfy Father, that 2e would saeetify the melancholy event to the good of the livirig, and be a husbind to the disconsolate widow in the hour of deep beravement, big tears coursed down many a, nanly check, as they stood around the per. tals of- the grave, and the pent up grief of every heart found relief in loud and prolong Bd sobs. The prayer was finished, the last ad words of the burial service, " Dust to lust, and ashes to as'as," were articulated, when the grave was filled, and, wvithout a word beinig spoke~r., this mournful train left the last resting place of the dead, repaired to their respective homes wi'th heavy hearts, and deeply .impressed that the saddest scene they ever witnessed, was a " burial by moon light." _______ A HINT oN HoUsEILD NANAGEMENT.
