ELOQUENT TO THE LAST.

WE observe a full and very interesting account Of
the late Kings Mountain celebrations In Charleston
Standard" of late date. In itmay be found an en-
gazing sketch of Col. JOHN s. PREsToas Grafton,
pretty full report Of Mr. BANcRofT's remarks,a nun.
Der of toasts, &c. But the most touching part Of
the days proceedings, must haye been the few mo.
men.s occupied by "a brief reply Of the Honorable
WILLIAM C. PRESTON, (the old man eloquenp to
sentiment in appreciation Of his past distinguished
services. Hear the " Standards" reporter describe
the thrilling incident:
"When the reading Of this sentiment and the cheers
which it occasioned were ended, an sged and feeble
gentleman was seen making his way 70 the stand lie
had once possessed massive frame, but It was much
wasted. his hair was white, and even with the asss-
lance Of his crutch he walked with difficulty. This
was all that is left Of Col. William c. Preston, one
of the most perfect orators this country has ever
known He said: =.
"If anything could relume tho embers of life
which, at times in my youth and manhood, has per-
haps burned brightly twould Be the sentiment which
has Just been uttered 1t touches the objects which
nre dearest to me- 1t points to life which has been
animated by what Thought and hoped had been
elevated objects of ambition, nnd to nn ancestry
whose memory has been most fondly cherished; and
hero in these of prmevai grandeur, and upon
a sput with which il has been the fortune Of tha,
ancestry TO bs associated, II comes upon me with es
pecia force; but if could ever speak, he said,
can speak no longer and if excuse be needed would
appeal TO this, rasng up his crutch and 10 this,
tlayng his hand upon locks as white as snow;) YET
still, my heart" (laying his hand upon hi, breast bu
the idea whatever it may have been. could find M
u,terance, the tears trickled slowly down his sunker
cheeks, and bowling low tothe audience, who were
scarcely less affected, he resumed his seat.
What feeling! What action! How natural! How
impres,ive He was born and has lived an orator, ant
| will die true to his native endowments.

THOSE VILLAGE BELLS.

The beil thar sounds-the call to prayer from our
Episcopal steeple is perhaps respectable enough. We
wouldn't undertake to say the about the bell in
he Methodist steepe. Butwe will say eaving the fact
10 be proved by -auricuiar evidence next Sunday
noning) that the Baptist bell of this place is about as
common a,ingaing affair as ever startled bclfy rat.
We would ask, how is this! Was there not sub

Of now Baptist bell! Istrkes us thatsuch was the
case, for we have faint remembrance of forking
ourself for>ihat object We understood tof course

We observe that this distinguished scholar and true
