TIE CELEBR ALTON.

We are enabled, through the agency of our
special reporter, to present full account OF
the proceedings at the grand national celebra'
tion of the Anniversary oft the Battle OF hlnS'
Mountain.
As will be seen by the above letter of our
co,rasnondent. the citizens of this and the ad'
Joining States had begun to pour into the place
of rendezvous on the Sd instant, and the tents
were spread over all the hill sides, and provis-
ions had been garncrcd up for the accon1moda
ton and comfort of every body. In fact, the
scene presented on the night before, was not
the least important part of this imposing ccr
enIony. The tables loaded with unpurchased
plenty, the camp-fres which illuminated tho
forest, and sent their curling smoke to this
welkin studded with innumcrable stars. the
crowds of visitors who hovercd around in AM
fmatat9sa; oyment of the strange and GorSeon'
Exhibition the bands of martial music which
Of differenplaces responded to each other, anc
the shouts 'hich occasionally broke from var
ions points, md which were echoed and re
echoed from he distant hills, presented togeth
or a RANCE objects that were strangely IL
contrast withlc scenes of common life. Iht
amuscmcnts iGuccd by the occasion were pro
tracted to Ia, hour, and were scarcely still
ed to perfect fet and repose before the en-
carnpment was .ain aroused to preparations
for the morning

THE GRAFTON AND ITS INCIDENTS.

1t would not be too much to- say that the
oration which mad been promised for this oc-
casiop had been looked for with solicitude and
interest The name Of the orator so ilustra-
ted in this State his own distinction both fol
abilities and eloquence-his relationship TO
one of the most distinguished actors in the
bloody drama all were assombledto colnmemo-
rate--the Investigation he had been known to
have devoted to the facts of this occurrence,
but little illustrated by authentic history-had
given to his address an importance very much
transcending thatto have been accorded to an
Grafton upon any ordinary topic of revolutiona-
ry history, ortoany ordinary address upon this
subject. Hwas hoped that not only the facts,
but the sentiment of this great act would find
expression, and that by the zeal and genius OF
the orator, it would be elevated to that higher
position in the history of our revolutionary con-
test to which there is the feeling that tits enti-
tied nor was the expectation disappointed.
The orator had made his pilgrimage to this
shrine of liberty. He had roamed alone among
its mountain heights, and, inspiredby the spir-
it of the place and the occasion, he took tone
of bearing and, expression which well became
conception of its moral grandeur,
The meeting was called tesorder BY sColssIss
D. Witherspoon, to whom, in the absence; of
his Excellehcy'the Governos had been assign
ed the duties Of President ON the occasion,
and who announced that the proceedings
would be opened with a prayer BY Rev. Nj -
Adams After religious ceremonies were con-
.cluded, the orator Of the day, Col. John s.
Preston, gaseannounced. After arapid range
of remarks upon the physical grandeur of the
scene, and the historical event that had made
it famous; the course Of conquest which had
led the commander Of the English forces TO
mountain districts of North Carolina !; the
gathering Of the clans from the mountain
heights in the valley of gatauga to- drive

BARBECU AND OTHER INCIDENTS.

When the cheers which greeted the toasts
from North Carolina were endedsdinner was
announced, and the long Gne,of moving hui
manity took its slow way to the place where
the stores of provision prepared for the oc-,
casion were spreadput The tables on which
- 49, dinner had been laid were erected upon
branch that sweeps Though tEG2 which runs the
mountain. The space over which they sa asae
ded wis about two acres, and it were scarcely
.exaggeration to say that the tables placed In
one continuous line would be more than half
mile, and it was only Understanding on the
heights above and looking down upon the
mass assembled, that an adequate idea OF its
magnitude could be formed, the number OF
those who filled this level space could not have
been less than ten thousand, exclusive of the
many who retired to places of private enter
tainment, and it is probable the whole num-
ber of those brought out by this occasion ex-
eeeded twelve thousand.
Among these were many distinguished gen
tlemen who were only there in honor OF the
occasion, and with no purpose OF taking con-
spicous part in its proceedings. OF these we
noticed Hon. William G. Preston and Hon.
George Bancroft, whom we have already men;
toned. Hon James L. Orr, Hon. W. ~
Boyce, and Hon. James Rogers, members and
ex.members of Congress from this State
Hon. James Simous, Speaker of the House Of
Representatives of South Carolina, Col. Wade
Hampton, Jr., COL B. H. Rice, Col I'D
Williams, grandson of the gallant Colonel o.
that name who fell on the battle field, many
others, members of the General Assembly o.
the State, many of the reverend Clergy, ant
reporters and members Of most Of the leading
papers Of the State.
With the barbecue were closed the public
ceremonies of the day, and the crowd dlsper
sing, many took the line of travel for thel
homes, and many retired to their tents tor an
other nights enjoyment of this forest life
As might have been supposed so large
!. number of persons could not have been broush
together without some accident, and it is GU
painful duty to record two, which were OK

KINGS MOUNTAIN CELEBRATlgN
KING's MOUNTAIN, October Sd, SOD.

K1NG's MOUNTAIN, October Sd, 1865.
Ne<srs. Editors In my note of yesterday
I caught the,wave Of the great social move
ment about to culminate at Kings Mountain,
and rode upon its crest to Yorkyille. From
thence was taken up, again with scarce an
effort of volition, and have been landed upon
the craggy heights of this Mountain region.
phe scene is ischeering, | have looked to
c>!.tthis celebration withsmuch interest, aud my
hopes are more than realized. Thousands are
already present, and along the glens and hilP
: sides, and bySeyers practicable line Of ap-
proach, and by every conveyance known to the
ingenuity of man, they still come. Admon-
ished by the claims of enfeebled constitution,
of the propriety of more sufficient shelter. than
that afforded by the tents that are spread over
the whole region round about the Mountain l
have sought house mile or two away, and
even at this distance, and at this late hour,
the streams of people still roll on, and men and
women, and youth and age, and lads and las
ses, and bouncing babies in the arms of fond
mothers all swell the tide which is breaking
about Che base Of Kings Mountain.
rb
This may seem grotesquc, and perhaps, to
persons city bred, a little vulgar, but amusc-
ments come but seldom to these secluded re-
gions, and when it is, remembered that the
occurrence of9his occasion will be fre.side
themes for years to come, we can see the rea-
son why all should wish4to be instructed in
them and whenH is remembered that just
such people foughtth battle gethave assem-
bled to commemoraA, we q sase to be amused
at their simplicity id consideration of the no.
bier qualities whichsnhdssaieit.
OF some of these Qualities We have abuu-
