From thi Courier. "DUX WEST CORNER''?ORIGIN OF THE NAME. Jlditori Courier:?I notice in one of your lata iuuea a brief paragraph, calling the uu*utioa of your correspondent to hi*, article of tlie "Dua WmI Tclacope, asking for iiiformutiOii in rrgard to the history mid origin of the re>?l name of that rural seat of learning mid tho republicun virtues. Tiiis lins not y<>t been a mibject of my ap?cial invmii^Mtiou, but incidentally, I hnve gleaned enough from the records, mid from OBVeraationa willi n?cd witnesses, lo be assured f the comparatively reccnt origin of its appellative, Duo Went ll my be uaid in pitlliatioii, however, tlint while most men and place* fiiio it ditlicn t to lilitke one iihiiio furuoui, the enterprising people ttf thu " Corner'' have, in the cnilrne of a hundred Venis, sue cerded in raisine two to quilt- an envtuhle crickrity?the lust being hallowed by the recol* Isciions of the great struggle lor the rights of mau ; the lint hy his associations with the ennobling characteristics of the passing age, its sci nee and religion. So fur buck, or so gradually began the disase of the fir?t, that ?li- precise .imo when Due West uuuie to bo preferred, i;?, doubtless, how remeinliered by Irw, if any, living in ihc District. Yet. there is no |>oitil in our upcountry history tloil limy he more clearly established than that Diio Wrti wun not the nnine known t?> those to whom the place was familiar before and during the Revolution. I recollect, on one occasion, of showing to an agsd revolutionary soldier, who had heard the original name ull liin life, an old muster roll con taiuing the names of the men with whom he hud Mrved through the war, and on my reading ii aloud to him, he quickly exclaimed al one of them, ' Ah ! yen. I knew him well; he lived near Due W est Corner." I regard this spontaneous. unasked testimony of the old soldier, us more valuable, in some respects, than even any documentary evidence; for the orthography of proper names at that period, particularly in the upper country, wa? exceedingly irregular ami defective, and this of Dewit or Drwct is no exception. In the simple nlterauce of the name, us he had used in his youth, and heard others use it mow familiar with it tliau himself, lie tixed, with little room for reastiiiakla iluolil. ils coiiteiuDoruiieoUs pro nuuciation. This testimony can be displaced only hy decided evidence to the coiitrury. from old recorde containing the origiiinl timite ; hut there without iceptiou, us fur an I have hud opportunity tc examine them, give tlie same or nearly the same appellative. I would firpt refer you to Cook and Monsou's (naps, a* minutely copied iu " Carroll's His toricnl Collections," one of tlietn published in 1771, and the other only four year* later. It ii there inserted, and wiitten J)ricct Corner. II must, therefore, have b>*en a place of some little note, at least, as early us the commencement o the Revolution, and wits fmniliiir to the peoph on the border, nud to n few in Charleston, win looked higher up oil tlie ol<l provincial maps thai Boundary-street, as Drivel's Corner. The cor respondent of the 'Teh-scope mentions an an cient deed which hnd been Keen in that neigh borhood, securing lauds in and around th " Corner*' to a man beating the namo of Dew itts. There can be no doubt of tlie fact, and fui tiler investigation, pnriiculnrly in tlie ancient ol flee of Mesne Conveyances for Ninety-Six dii trict, will disclosc additional proofs of il, tliut n an early period in tlio history of the 6ettlemei of that remote cectinn of the Province, a pionet of the name of Dewit or Dewrt, built hie cub' at that spot, and an Intliiin trading house whic in a short time became qu.t? a place of resort The difference in the pronunciation of this nam thus variously spelt, is slight, and so like Di Weal, as to be easily buffered to degenerate inl it, *a the circuimitsiiiccs of its history gradual faded from the memory of ihe people. Tl chief difficulty is to arcnunt for the addition appellation of "corner," of this I have two e planat.ioiip, either of which appears to mc suH OientlJ" satisfactory. An did the Gowdicg at old Ninety-Six, Dewi built hi* trading-houne immediately on the I nous Indian path, still remembered as the Kc w?? Trail. At the iipot where ho fixed hisbuil inga, the old thoroughfare forked, mid these eto close to, if not on, the immediate (ingle oft! bifurcation ; this brunch of the ancient highw ran directly South along the ridge between t present Little River and Long Cane Creek, hi by the modern site of Abbeville village. T Keowee Trail was, at that period, the greati central highway?if a trading path may be en ?d *uch?in Carolina, and the few forkn a Cm?C* HIOl UVVUHVU II, t>VVO<lll> UW>ID|MVU? point*, even without a cubin or a trading-house. Gowdev's fori and store, at Ninety-Six. occup the well-known spot where the great trail fr Charleston by the Congaree?, running up I Saluda, united with the Keowee path.* These circumstances were certainly miffici to give rise to the surname of "Corner," and il quite possible for theiu to have been the sou of ita origin. This conjecture would to be put heye Eeraventuie, by reference to nu old diagram rayton's Memoirs of Major Williamson's ro from the border through the Indian nation, in famous Cherokee expedition. In addition the unmistakable position given there, to "Corner" and itH surroundings, the situatior bit camp, which ne bo loup occupied ucur i place, is tint* described: * "lie encnu.ped Holm**' Field, on Iloi;Hkiti Creek, about f m(]M from llie Clierokee boundary line, at D ?MT? Corner."t This then, would fix the sin ihe latter place at the inouth of the si ream i kaowu aa Conner Creek, nnd immediately at juncture of the old trail with the Indian l>ou uy line J Hence, obviously, the name of Creek and of will's Corner. If this be true, and the iiuthority in quite r< Us, the good people of the "Corner" must be | pared for the annoucenieiit that the present of their vi'lage is even further removed from situation occupied by the Dewill's Corner of olden time, than their modern name froui the the original founder. Again, when Dewitt settled here, if we i ?? hv the roan in Carroll's collections ancient Chrroke* boundary line, already i (jotted, still run but a short distance North o *bin ; he wan witltin fifteen miles of the exti North west comer of the I'rovince, and held, top*. the first, at least for a number of yearn mo?t important settlement in ilial remote reg hence, just tij a more famous house once bui Daneanby's Head in remote North Scotland dine world renowyed as John O'G rout's h o this waaenr^' know n as Mewitt's Corner thv appellation of "corner" has been ever rManted. though the old border was long a (iterated, and the flourishing Districts of G Audeison and Pickens, hare come to pjr the wild hunting ground of the Indiana Mill's. in his Statistic*, mentions it unde oameof Dewitt's Corner.
