BATTLE OF T Graphic Story of a V*i< ago that Turned The following historical address was delivered By Rev. J. E. Bailey at the recent . Cowpens celebration. Our readers should file this paper away for future reference, as it is full of information not easily obtained : FELLOW CITIZENS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: It affords me much pleasure to stand before you on this great occasion. As sembled as we are beneath the shades of peace and prosperity, while above us are bright and sunny skies radiant with promise and hope. This is sub lime; but the most blessed thing of all is the super-abundance of pure, fresh and invigorating air that we breathe, for it is the air of liberty. Everywhere throughout this great American commonwealth this adorable goddess emits the air of freedom, free dom of thought, freedom of speech - and freedom to worship God, which . are the most priceless boons that were ever bestowed upon any people. Lib erty, yes, glorious liberty! But from whence came it? Sc far as we pre concerned is came out of seven long years of suffering from faming naked ness, peril and sword endured by our ancestors about a century and a quar ter ago. By their never-flagging de votion and patriotism, by their unpre cedented bravery and heroism they succeeded in driving the armies of j King George from our shores. As a j result the goddess of American liberty was crowned and she has reigned . from that hour to this, and may her v banner proudly wave until the end of time. 'Tis true that there may have been in some respects greater battles, but all things considered none played a more important part in the great drama of the Revolution than that enacted on the glorious field o?* the Cowpens. For a time previous to this action the cause of liberty in the Carolinas seemed almost hopeless. Gates had j been disastrously defeated at Camden and Sumter cut to pieces on Fishing Creek. This forced the little bands ! of patriots to flee to the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee and Vir-1 ginia for safety, thereby leaving the I country to the mercy of thc British and Tories. But the spirit of these fugitive -heroes was by no means crushed. They determined to uni?e thei?J forces and destroy the proud and de- j fiant Ferguson, who was at that time master of the up-country. A plan J was agreed upon, and the fiar? junc tion of these intrepid devotees of liberty was formed at the Cowpens the very same field on which we are assembled to-day. The next day, Oc tober 7, 1780, they overtook Ferguson at King's Mountain, where he was killed and his army totally de stroyed. A little more than three months later came the brilliant action at the Cowpens in which the irrepress-1 ible and heretofore ever victorious Tarleton was put to flight and his army cut to pieces. The victory at King's Mountain opened np the way for that at Cowpens; hence on that -mountain and on this plain are the tpivots on which the tide in favor of American liberty completely turned. Yea, these two mighty and successful ?blows virtually broke the backbone of British supremacy in the South. Theo -is it saying too much when we declare 'that if there had been no King's 'Mountain and if there had been no '?owpens there would haye never been ^iny Yorktown ? Fallow citizens, tread softly, for'you .stand on saered ground. The soil be neath your feet drank blood which was poured out as the price of liberty. Only a few rods away lie the remains of twelve martyr-heroes, who not only poured out their blood, but gave up their lives as well. Noble patriots, to-day we would honor thee, but we would not disturb thy calm repose. Sleep on. sleep on until the resurrection morn when wc hope to awake with thee to a blessed immortality. Soon after Gen. Greene assumed command of the Southern army a part of it was ordered to march into South Carolina under Major-General Daniel Morgan. This detachment consisted of 320 Marylanders, under Lieuten ant-Colonel Howard, 200 Virginia militia, under Major Triplett, and 80 cavalry, led by Lieutenant-Colonel Wm. Washington. On December 10. 1780, the order came for Morgan to march. Leaving Charlotte he crossed the Catawba and Broad rivers and pitched his camp at the Grindal Shoals, on the east bank of the Pacolet, on Christmas day. Soon after his arrival at the Grindal Shoals Morgan was joined by a body of North Carolina militia under the command of Major Joseph McDowell. The regiments of Colonels Thomas Brandon and John Thomas took post in close proximity to Morgan. At the same time McCall's regiment, which was a part of Dickens' brigade, joined his standard. A party of Georgians under thc command of HE COWPENS. ?tory A\ on 118 Years che Tide of War., Free Lance. Majors Jackson and Cunningham also came up. Being in a section that had long been overrun by British and Tories provisions were very scarce. Hence it was necessary for Morgan to send out foraging detachments at some dis tance. A body of some two hundred Tories, whose headquarters were at Hammond's store on Little river, ad vanced as far as Fair Forest creek to embarrass these operations. Morgan immediately detached 200 mounted militia and 75 cavalrymen, under Cols. "Washington and McCall, to drive these Loyalists from the coun try. Hearing of Washington's ap proach the Tories fell back to Ham mond's store. WASHINGTON ORDERED A CHARGE. After marching some forty miles Washington arrived at that point and immediately ordered a charge. It was a flight instead of a conflict, and one hundred and fifty Loyalists were killed and forty prisoners taken. Col. Washington now determined to ad vance still further into the enemy's country and attack a body of Tories on Mudlick creek, near Williams' plantation, commanded by Col. Cun ningham, but the Tories made their escape to Ninety-Six which was near by: These bold movements on thc part of the Americans made Cornwallis fear for*the safety of the garrison at Ninety-Six. So on the 1st of January, 1781, Cornwallis ordered Tarleton, who had already advanced as far as Brier ley's Ferry, on Broad river, to move towards Ninety-Six, with special in structions that he "push Morgan to the utmost." Tarleton's corps con sisted of about 1.100 men, 500 of which 1 belonged to his dreaded legion, which had carried desolation into every part of the State. In accordance with his orders Tarleton moved towards the west, but after proceeding twenty miles he found that the order for the light troops to move was an error, so he halted in order to make more com plete arrangements. Here he found that Morgan was quite a distance from Ninety-Six, and that that post was (Comparatively secure, so he proposed to Cornwallis that they make a joint movement against Morgan. The plan was for Cornwallis to march up on the east side of Broad river, in the vicinity of King's Mountain, while Tarleton was to move up to the westward and head Morgan off. "When I advance," said Tarleton in his message to Cornwallis, t:I must either destroy Morgan's corps, or push it before me over Broad river, towards King's Mountain." To this Corn wallis readily consented. Hence, on June 12, Tarleton resumed his march, moving in a westerly direction in order that he might find the most practicable fords for the passage of the Enoree and Tyger rivers. These streams were passed on the 14th, above the Cherokee road, and on the 15th he reached the valley of the Pacolet. When Col. Washington was return ing from Hammond's store to Grindal Shoals he passed near where Gen. Pickens was encamped in the Plumber settlement, between Fair Forest and Tyger river. Major Joseph McJunkin obtained leave to stop at this camp for awhile. Just at this time Geo. Pickens heard of Tarleton's advance upon Morgan. No time was to be lost. Feeling that it was unsafe to send a written message Gen. Pickens chose Major Joseph 3IcJunkin to bear the information verbally. In company with James Park, Major McJunkin set out about dusk for Gen. Morgan's camp. It was a perilous journey: the night was intensely dark and the streams very high, because of exces sive rainfall. After swimming Fair Forest, Mill creek and Pacolet, he reached thc northern bank of that stream, where he was hailed hythe sentinel and kept in the edge of thc river until the corporal of the guard could come wheu he was conducted to Gen. Morgan's tent. Here Maj. Mc Junkin informed him that Benny Tar leton was coming to give him a blast ; that he had promised Lords liawdon and Cornwallis, on leaving Winnsboro, that he would have the old Wagoner, i. e., Morgan, to dine with him in a few days. At this time Col. Wash ington was at Wofford's Iron Works, on Lawson's Fork, now Glendale, hav ing his horses shod. MORGAN'S HISTORIC MESSAGE. ('pon receipt of the message deliv ered by Major McJunkin, Gen. Mor gan called out to a little Frenchman, who had just come in from the iron works, but was then asleep: ' Barron, get up and go back to the iron works and tell Billy that Henny is approach ing, and tell him to meet mc to-mor row evening at Gentleman Thompson's on the cast side of Thickety creek." Accordingly on the next morning, which was the 15th, (icu. Morgan broke up camp at Grindal Shoals and marched in the direction of his for mer encampment at Burr's mi Thickety creek, and halted f( night, just twelve miles fron: point. The site of this encam] is, in all probability., not far fro confluence of Big and Little Thi< Being joined by Col. Washi and Gen. Pickens, the march w sumed earl}' on the morning c 16th, and the little army roache Cowpens about sundown on the day, and a halt was again called. Morgan's route from Grindal S to Cowpens was by the way of cookville, now Mr. Durbin Littlejc then in the direction of Goucher c where he struck the Cowpens 1 which he followed by way of Thii station and Macedonia Church tc point. On their arrival at the pens the patriot band was info that it was there where they si meet the enemy. This was rec with great joy, for they were an: to fight, and many curses were he upon Gen. Morgan during the n from Grindal Shoals, for they thc that he was retreating in orde avoid an action. MORGAN" INSPIRES lils MEN. Though night was soon upon t much remained to be done. < Morgan well knew the power of T ton's legion, and deemed it all in tant to strengthen his cavalry, unteers were called for, and they ordered to press any horses into vice not belonging to an office dragoon. Two companies were for by Majors Jolly and McCall, con ing of about forty-five men. ' made Washington's force about strong. Morgan went about an the volunteers, helped them to their swords, joked them about t sweethearts and told them to b good cheer, and the day would theirs. From point to point he v, among the men encouraging them telling them that the "Old Wagon would crack his whip over Ben. ' leton in the morning as sure as t lived. "Just hold up your hei boys," he would say, "three fires you are free. And when you ret to vour homes, how the old folks bless you and the girls will kiss ; for your gallant conduct." Mi Thomas young said: "I doo't beli that he slept a wink that night." Now, while these brave troop snatch a few hour's sleep, let us turn and watch the movements of enemy. We left Tarleton in the val of thc Pacolet. He intended at i time to cross that stream at thc i: works, now Clifton, but changed course and crossed at Easterwc Shoals, some distance below. Tai ton's passage of the Pacolet took ph about daylight on the morning of I 16th. Cols. Thomas Brandon and Ben min Boebuck, with some others, : on their horses and watched Tarlet cross, counted his men. and sent th report to headquar:ers. Tarleton proceeded until he came the camp that Morgan had desert the morning before. Still watch by Cols. Brandon and Fioebuck, remained there until o o'clock on ti morning of the 17th, when he renew his line of march towards the Co pens. Some time before day Morgan faithful scouts came running in ai informed him that Tarleton was a proaching, and was -not more th? three miles away. Upon receipt this intelligence Gen. Morgan, accor panied by Gen. Pickens, began to j from mess to mess, saying: "Boy get up. Henny is coming, and ye that have sweethearts, or wives, ( children, or parents, must fight fi them and above all you must fight f( liberty and your country.'' THE LINE Ol' BATTLE FORMED. This appeared to nerve the arm ( every true friend of liberty. Aftc thus speaking to both thc militia an the regulars, the tattoo was sounde and the lines of battle were form?e The first line was formed on the cres of the eminence just a little to th southeast of the monument. Thi linc consisted of 3!)0 Maryland regu lars and 140 Virginia militia, undo Major Triplctt. This line, consistin of 430 guns, was under the commun* of Lieut. Col. Howard. This lin composed the flower of Morgan's army and upon it he depended largely fo success. One hundred and fifty yard in front of Howard's line a secom line was formed, consisting of abou 350 volunteer militia, commanded bj Gen. Andrew Pickens. One hundrcc and fifty yards in front of Pickens line a third linc was formed, consist ing of 60 or 70 picked riflemen, com manded by Col. Cunningham am Major .McDowell. Thc 1st and L'OL Spartan regiments under Cols. Bran don and Thomas, were in the fronl line. i>ome three hundred yards in rear of the main linc, under Howard, behind an eminence, near Mr. J. H. Kzells, was was posted Col. Washing ton, with his cavalry as a reserve. Orders wore then given that the first line should open fire and then fall back to thc second linc under Pickens. when this line should maintain its ground as long as possible and then fall back to the first and main line, under Howard, where the Anal assault was to bc made. Admirable arrange ment. Everything being thus in readiness. i i en. Morgan addressed his soldie follows: "My friends in arms, my boys: I request you to remember ? toga. Monmouth, Peola, and Bra wine, and this day must play . parts for your honor and libel cause." Then, turning to the ? sovereign of the universe, he addressed Him: "Oh, thou, great poser of all events, the battle is to thc strong, nor the race to swift. Our domineering enemy being in sight, oh! leave us not, forsake us!" This ncver-to-bc-foi ten morn of January 17, 1781, clear and extremely cold, >o muc that the men could only keep t hands warm by slapping them tog er, while they awaited tue approac the enemy. TARLETON ORDERS AN AOVA.VC So we readily see that when Ti ton reached the Cowpens. sho after sunrise, he found* Morgan perfect readiness to receive 1 Finding Morgan drawn up in ba array, Tarleton ordered his infantr divest themselvts of everything ex< their arms and ammunition, and w within four hundred yards of enemy he proceeded to form his li of battle. All things being in re ness, the British advanced in a : of trot, uttering a loud halloo. Mi Thomas Young declares that it the most beautiful line that he c saw. As the British hallooed, M gan was heard to say: "Boys, tl gave us the British halloo: boys, f them the Indian balloo,'' and gall ing along thc lines he cheered men and told them not to fire u: they could sec thc whites of tl eyes. Every officer was cryi "Don't fire!" for, says Major You "it was a hard matter for us to ki from it." As the redcoats strean along, a column marched up bef the front linc opposite Col. Brando men, led by a gaily-dressed officer horseback. This fellow seemed' to rather busy, and made himself-obm iously conspicuous in thc eyefof i patriotic Americans. Word pas; along the line, "Who can bring h down?'' John Savage looked C Farr full in the face, and read "ye in his eyes. So Savage darted a f paces ia front, laid his rifle agains sapling, a blue gas streamed above 1 head, a sharp crack of a rifle broke t solemn stillness of the moment, a the result was that a hor3e withou rider wheeled from the front of t advancing column. JOHN SAVAGE b'IRKS THE FIRST SIM So you see that John Savage. Union District, fired thc first gun the battle of Cowpens, and that sh brought down a British officer. T next moment it was "pop,'' "pop "pop.'1 and then a whole volley frc thc front linc of picked rifleme Their fire was unerring, and a numb of saddles were emptied, as they hi been ordered to mark the "epaulet men.1' The British continued steadily advance, and the front Iii fell back to thc second line und Pickens. After delivering some mu derous fires this line was forced ba< and recreated towards Howard's flan as they had been ordered to do. B before they could gain the cover this line thc British cavalry on tl right charged and drove them back t wards the po.-ition held by Wash in, *ton. WASHINGTONS CO I INTER- CH ARO E. That brave officer immediately mi this bold dash by a countcr-charg which scattered the British horse i thc wildest confusion. <^en. Picket now promptly rallied and reformed h men and passing around thc ridge bi hind which Washington had been poi ted he reached the right flank of Hov ard's linc just as thc enemy wei about to turn it. While these thing were transpiring Oiher grave and in portant ones were taking place o other parts of thc field. When th militia by their retreat uncovere Howard's linc he poured a terrific fir into the columns of thc advancin enemy. This was vigorously rc turned, and for fifteen or twenty miu utes thc ground was bitterly contested Seeing that his advance was checked Tarleton ordered his reserves int action: thc infantry to take a positioi on his left while the cavalry was t charge thc American right. His objc was to turn Howard's flank with th reserves, while those already engage) should entertain the main linc. Tin was quite a strategic move and wa very dangerous for thc Americans But .Morgan was equal to the occasion ITj ordered Pickens to attack the enc my's left flank, and Washington ti charge their right. Both orders wen promptly executed. PICKENS STRIKES THE KRITISII I.Kn I'LANK. Pickens struck thc left flank of thc reserves and Washington charged tine broke through their cavalry, just ai they were about to swoop down or Howard's right. Before these move ments were understood by Howard, seeing thc danger to which his right was exposed, he ordered thc flank company to change their front. Hero a singular thing ha, pened. Howat d'.s order to change front was understood that they should retire to the emi nence sonic distance in thc rear, con sequently they began to fall bael; in good order to that point. Howard seeing this supposed that Morgan had given the order, and Morgan supposed that Howard had given the o-der. The enemy seeing this movement mistook it for a retreat and somewhat con fusedly dashed forward, yelling at the tops of their voices, until they were within thirty yards of Howard's men. THE con* DE OKACfl?. Seeing the confusion, especially of the enemy, Washington sent Morgan word "That they were coming on like a mob, and if he would give them one fire the cavalry would charge them." Morgan instantly ordered the men to face about and fire which was done with such deadly effect that the enemy gave way. Howard then ordered a bayonet 3 charge, and Washington wheeled into the rear and was about to charge when they laid down their arms. The victors now concentrated their efforts against the forces of the enemy who were still trying to main tain their ground, and they, too, were soon put to flight. At this late hour Tarleton vainly hoped to reverse the fortunes of the day. He ordered his flying cavalry to halt and reform, and an effort was made to collect his strag gling infantry, but all to no avail. To usc Tarleton's own words, "Neither promises nor threats could gain their attention: they surrendered or dis persed." The conflict was now over, and one of the most glorious and momentous victories that was ever a.iiieved by any people perched on the American banners. On that January morn, 118 years ago. from this spot rose a blaz ing star of hope, and in the great galaxy of Revolutionary battlefields non< shines with greater brilliancy thaii that of Cowpens. TUE LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES. The nnmber of Morgan's forces at thc Cowpena was about 850, while Tarleton's amounted to 1.150. The American loss was 12 killed and b'2 wounded. The British loss was 80 ki lled, 150 wounded and GOO prisoners. Two pieces of artillery, two stands of colors. 800 muskets, 100 horses, 35 wagons.with the enemy's music.fell into the hands of the victors. When Tar leton was forced to see that all was lost, in company with some of his horsemen he fled from the field in the direction of Hamilton's Ford, on Broad river, and never stopped until he reached Cornwallis' camp on Tur key creek, in York district. For some unknown reason Cornwallis had not co-operated in the movement against Morgan as previously arranged. Though completely victorious Mor gan was fully conscious of his danger, and deemed it expedient to move at once. Placing the dead and wounded undera flag of truce, and leaving them to be cared for by the people of the neighborhood, he set out in the direc tion of the Island Ford, on Broad river, to which place he had moved his baggage carly in the morning. Pass ing that stream at that place he en camped on its north bank the first night after thc action. Next day he resumed his march towards Beaty's l.'ord, on the Catawba. Here com menced his famous race with Corn wallis, but all the world knows that Cornwallis never caught him. The fetishism of savage Africa makes us shudder, ami fills us with disgust. Yet we have fetishes of our own, one of them great. widely-worshipped, and in whose name crimes innumerable are daily perpetrated. The name of that fe tish is ignorance. To that powerful fetish thousands of motliers annu ally make sacrifice of their i laughters. For what is it but a sacrifi?e to the fetish Ignorance to permit girls to blossom to wom anhood, and enter the marriage rela tion without .one helpful hint of the obligations of that relation .and its physical perils? Just the word which the mother fails to speak would turu the young girls' atten tion to the danger of irregularity. For it is in the ignorance of the necessity for regularity in tlie periods that the foundation is laid for tin; debilitating drains, the female weakness, bearing-down pains, inflam mation and ulceration that rob marriage of joy and motherhood of happiness.
