ANECDOTES OF THE REVOLUTION

GIN. MAKIoN's ADDRESS TO HIS SOLDIERS.
AGe' the destruction Of the American
army at Camden, Colonel Marion, with
his little hand oE volunteer troops, being
IN the immediate nciGhborhood, were IN
imminent dangcr.-Whcn he heard the
dreaded udirgs Of defeat, he rctreated in.
: TO the woods, ordering his company TO
halt ana form, lie addressed them rs fol-
lows Gentlemen you are aware Of our
siinalion-sO widely different from what
. It once was. Once We were a happv neo-
. pie .-Libcrty shono upon our land, BRIGHT
, as the sun that giIds yon fields and we
and our fathers rcjoiced in It's beams AS
! gay as the birds that enlycn our forests.
Bn', alas those golden days have fed;
, and the clouds Of war hang dark and low
erimg above Oar heads. Our once peace
ini land is filled with uproar and leath.
Foreign Ruilians invade our very liresides
and altars, and leave us 10 alternative
but slavery or death. Two gallant ar
mics have marched 10 our assistance but
both are lost. That under General Lin.
coin, G"Vcd and butchcred at Savannah ::
and that under Gen Gates, im1rudentlv
oveimoiched, is now cut up at Camden.
thus aiI our hopes from the north are at
an end, and poor Carolina is left to fght
. for herself. 4 sad alternative, indeed
whea her own children are madly uniting
with the enemy, and not one in thou
sand will rise to take her part.
My counlrymen lwiSh to know your
minds on this momontous subject. AS
Tor myself, consider my life as but mo-
men' ; and TO fill that moment with duty
/ is my all. To guard this country from
The eviis OF slavery, seems my greatest du
ty; and | am therefore determined that
while ! live she shall never lie ensIaved.
She may come to that wrctched state
but these eyes shall never behold it. She
shall never clauk her chains in NV ewes.
and pointing to lhe iqnominious badge
excaim, 1t was your cowardice that
brought me to lhis.'
One and all, they answered, we will
conquer for our country, or die will
you.
Ihei, my brave friends, said be. draw
your swords. Now form a circle emblem.
aue"l OF our eternal Union; and pointing
your blades to Heaven, the bright throne
OF HIM who made us free, swear you viii
never be slaves Of Britain! 1t was deyoat-
ly done.
The reader will be pleased to hear that
this brave man rose to high rank in the
army, and lived 20 enjoy the peace aud
prosperity Of the country he so ably de-
Tended. His wife survived him and as
long as she was allie 10 ride, tie poor
people Of Carolina used to press around

in England, but the various sanitary committees,

continually. hope the member who introduced
the bill, ''An Act eusiile an Act to increase the

caption of his bill aul make It read thus:
"4n Act entitled an act to req,slate the loss of
Ps6lie health tie destruction Of public morals, and
tie erti"g,sishmeat Of l.fs"
l am honest aud candid in my opinion, that this
vii Be the most truthful caption, and hope the
'"fiPPHns Committee" will think the subject over.
Intend writing short pieces, and hop you will
read them. In my next will offer some argu-
m ents why you should not pass a Liceuce Law.
FARMER.
