The battle of Fort Moultre was fought on the
2sth June, l776, and South Carolina obtained
much renown for the bravery displayed by her
sons on the occasion. Application was made 10

A speech was made by the Hon. II. Barnwcll
Rhett, U. S. Senator. He openly preached trea-
son:
''He intended TO support South Carolina. If he
had been invited by her to storm yondcr fort, in
stead of speaking under its shadow. he should
most checrfuly have obeved the call. Consol-

has been rising, and some partial friends now said
that he was gool-ookng. QuiTM,N and Nc
