THE fIRE EATERS.

Tho Charleston Is. c. Mercury Of
the "a inst contains long and animated
account ot the anniversary of The Bat.
tie Of For, Moulirie. which VIC have
read with interest. The men who took
rar, in thi. celebration were Of The on,
and out frc-ea'ing disunrou school
They ,rampled the Unou and the Fed
eral Constitution bcneaill their feet, and
swore eternal hatred to thu Union. and
lasting fidelity TO South Carolina. There
is something that interests us ia the
proceedings OF earnrs, men. however
much wc may oppose the sentiments
which are expressed. We believe that
South Carolina has some real. genuine
nuliGcr.. who believe i, patriotism to
preach disloyaIty to the Union, and re.
lsion 10 pray for separation Of the
States.
The ostensiblo reason Of the turnout
on the occasion referred 10, was TO cell
ebra.e the anniversary Of the battle ot
Fort Moultrie, which was fought ola the
2S,h Of June. 1916; and South Caro-
olina obtained mach reBown for the
bravery Which her sons exhibited on
the occasion. |. appears that applica-
ton had Lecn made to the proper au-
thorities, for liberty to hold the cele5ra-
ton within the walls OF the fortiica,ion,
which was denied. This added fuel 10
tho fire oc the firc-eaters, and therefore
they erected a tent which was "su'i-
cicntly capacious to hold a thousand per.
sons" outside Of the fort, and almost
within the shadow OF the walls thereof.
The exercises Of the day began by q
display Of military in the streets OF
Charleston. which after having paraded
TO their hearts content, took passage in
steamer Ia Fort Moul'ric. which il
situated in the harbor \ large nam
ber Of people were assembled at the
spot. 4 dinner was provided, Presi
dents and Vice Presidents were chosen
,oasls were made to order, in regular
form, and speeches brimful Of nui,iica
ton were IL, of like succession Of SKI
rockets, emitting heat fire, fame, sparks
smoke and sound. ". copy few 0
