WW^T 1 I i _ ; ?i By Misa LovIn Nettle* 1 That Battle Ground Again. Recently there appeared in the columns of thia paper an article urging that steps be taken to further mark the battle-field of Camden. We later wrote an article in favor of it, as we were entirely in sympathy with the - huggestion. Meeting many strangers from all parts of the country who seek information and are eager to visit the spot, has shown us the importance of the matter, for we well know that disappointment awaits their enthusiastic pilgrimage. Alas! where is the Bhrine? True the battle , was not an American victory?and was a terrible disaster to the cause? but we must not forget -the brave Continentals under DeKalb. Enough of them survived to rally to the standard of Guilford, Hobkirk and Kutaw and were among those who at laet drove the British from the ' Carolina*. We can at>'least rejoice that we had DeKalb and the invincible* of Maryland and Delaware. W*1 publish below a telegram received by a citizen of Camden from the Hon. - W. F. Stevenson: i "House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., June 18, 1986. Dear Sir: Replying to yours of the 4th instant, I will say that I will gladly do what I can to make the Battle Ground near Camden a National Park. Am working on this matter at this time and in due time I hope to get it through. Glad to hear from you on matters in which you are interested and whenever I can be of service let me know."
