From Hon. Ed,card Everett.

Boston, Sept. Is, 1855.
Gentlemen Il received short time since your
of the 18th of August requesting attendance
at the approaching celebration of the anniversary
of the memorable battle of Kings Mountain.
am greatly indebted to you for this invitation,
and for the very obliging terms in which it is con-
veyed
should much enjoy visit to that most interest
ing region, andit would afford the greatest pleas
to unite with you, in the commemoration of one
of the most important battles of the Revolution.
regret to say that it will not be in my power to be
present.
Although the Numbers engaged on each side at
Kings Mountain were not great there ESsif1h @it1 ,ho

victory was achicved the forced march by night of
nine hundred of the best horsemen, determined to

lance made by that officer, the best partizan in the
royal army, astonished as he was at "tbe numerous

up in the depths Of the DESERT courage with
bay he plunged witht the bayone first upon one party
and then upon the other of the intrepid mountain
eers, as they drew closer and closer around him
circle of fire his fall and the Immediate capitula
ton of his force superior innumbers to their assa
ants-these incidents make scene of war, of which
there few equals stirring interest in the hsto
ry of the Revolution.
The political consequences of this victory were of
great moment Itrestored the public mind from the
depression caused by the recent successes of Corn
wallis Itput an instant stop to his efforts to bring
back the upper country to its allegiance; and con-
tributed its full share to the combinations which,
about twelyemonth later, led to the surrender of
CORVALLIS, and the virtual termination of the war.
History will reserve bright page in the annals of
the revolution, for the names of the gallant men
who fought the battle Of Kings mountain. You will
hear the thrilling narrative from the eloquent lips of
q descendant Of one of them, and the expressive
voices of unchanging nature will yield their responses
the rough hill-sides,-the deep ravines,-the
sparkling streams-the venerable trees.--mute but
still living witnesses of the stern encounter, and
faithful vouchers for its traditions

The Washington correspondent of the
Orangeburg Soudtron thinks that Mr.. Hun
ter, of Virginia, will be the Democratic no
minec for the Presidency: ga large portion of
the Northern members of the Convention will
refuse to endorse the Nebraska bill. The
North will not take Northern man who did
vote for it. \ compromise will be made
The North will accept Southern man who
voted for the bill-and the South will agree to
pass over the bill in silence. Thus base
and venal trade will be struckupon the slavery
question. In this event Hunter will be rath-
er the strongest man before the Convention.
- According to the Courier des Etats
Unis, the Russian flag counted at Sebastopol,
in the month of September, 1854, seventeen
ships, FIVE of 120 guns, the remainder of "a
guns four frigates ofsixty guns ;sfour corvet-
tes or brigs; twelve steamships, and eighty-two
ships of inferior rank; in all 10S ships, carry
ing 2, 200 guns. This colossal armament was
- sed by the Russians themselves, to pre-
Sf~trom falling into the hands of their en-
eemies. ltsis deserving of note that, while the
Russian soldiers have shown the most extraor-
diuary courage in meeting danger, the Rus
sian naval forces have avoided it, as if con-
scious of its own inferiority. In no case has
single attempt been made to cut out British
or French man of war, though opportunities
enough existed, both in the Black and Baltic
seas, for doing so. In fact, the Russian flag,
though covering larger navy than that of the
United States, has disappeared from the ocean

nection with the Eastern war is the use to-
which the telegraph, cminently an invention of

gentlemen, in reply to inytations,a part q
gramme Of ceremonies on the day of Celebration
The want of time alone precluded the possibility of
carrying out this purpose. Many Of them are exceed
ingly appropriate repete with ennobling sentiments
and profitable suggestions and emnently worthy Of
place record of the day; and as an act of conr-
tesy 70 the distinguished writer's, and kindness to
our leaders, we have determined to give them apace
in our columns. They will, of course, be repubshed
in the pamphlet report of the Celebration. :,
On the day of Celebration, an informal meeting
was heldSof the Committees and several friends Of
the emonument-project resolutions were adopted urg-
ing the propriety and expediency ofthe erection of
a Monument, and the necessary Committees were
appointed to carry out the scheme. Why these pro-
ceedings were not published from the stand, are
at loss to know. However, they should by all
means be made a.matter of record; and if we sue
ceed in exhuming them from the hiding-place in
which they now itseems, most tindustrously con-
cealed we shall take pleasure in giving them pub
icity. We were not permitted to have o voice in
the meeting and acnnot, heefore, give the purport
of the proooedings Nevertheless, it is enterprise
of two much Importance to be trifedHith; and we
earnestly hope that the gentlemen to whom the mat
ter was entrusted will forthwith discharge their duty
We are not surprised to learn that an unpleasant
feeling is entertained by our country friends who
promptly and in manner which deserves all COM
mendaton, sent conveyances to town for the accom-
modation of visitors to the celebration. The'num-
ber Of persons at the mountain exceeded our most
reasonable expectapn; but we frankly confess that
proportion of the kho came by the Railroad was
much smaller u 2 had the right to anticipate -

with propriety have performed in our behalf much

foundation tho emanating from Yorkvie, that the
visitors would be compelled to walk to the mountain
Of course deferred every one who had the -luck to
read them We make the explanation in order that
our friends may know where to attach the blame
We had every reason to promise the attendance of
large company, and but for this interference our
promise would have been made good.

The immediate effect would be the inauguration Of a

upon the hands of John Bull. Kossuth remarks upon
This point as follows:
