\ LIVING NoRTH-C ARoLINA REVOLUTIONARY SOL
DlER.-A correspondent of the Charleston Mercury,
writing from beavers Spring, N. c. says:
We have here an old revolutionary soldier, sur
vivor of the battle of Kings Mountain-Mr Hen
ry He is nearly 95 years old, and still reads with
out spcctaclcS; he was mere boy at the time of
the battle, but stood his ground when Ferguson's
troops charged with the bayonet and in consequence
had thrust through the hand and into the thigh.
His rifle which he had just loaded discharged
at the moment he received the thrust--this killed
his antagonist, and after the British had retired up
the mountain, Mr.. Henry was found lying by log
with the musket hanging by its bayonct to his
thigh. He afterwards became distinguished crim-
nal lawyer, and is SAID to have defended more des-
pcrate criminal cases than any other man in the
State. He has in manuscript account of tile bat
tie, prepared by himself with the aid of Vance, an
other of the particpators in that battle. He says
that Sumters original name was rot the "Game
Cock" but Tuck" That he so called by one
Gilmore who owned a blue hen famous for her game
chickens That a celebrated fighter named Tuck"
Was one of this blue hens chickens and in compli-
ment to Sumter's pluck Gilmore gave him the cog
nomen Tuck" which was forwards changed into
the "Gamc Cock" There are many other inter-
csting matters in his manuscript; but for the pre-
sent, defer them

Beaufort, N c.. Sept 9Th, 1859.

THIS DIsTR.cr--Smce the election evidences have
transpired showing that the opposition made des-
pcrate effort this District to defeat the democratic
candidate 70 Congress. A friend in Union county
has sent us half sheet of Il newspaper headed
North Carolina Argus Extra" containing all sorts
of abuse of the democratic party, in protusion-
The style in which portion of the matter in this
North Carolina Argus, Extra" is printed, shows
that it was first printed in phamphlet form, and we
suppose the stuff was thus circulated through the
District. We thought the regular issue of the
Wadesboro argus, from week to week during the
canvass contained enough of that kind Of matter,
with Tut issuing extras and pamphlets
We merely aude to the matter now to let demo
Gratis see what desperate efforts were made by the
opposition THAT portion about Wadesboro at least
to defeat Mr.. Craige. Hereafter it behooves demo
Gratis TO be on their guard against such operations
The 1,yus took occasion several times. during
the canvass to characterize the statements OF the
"Wcstern Democrat' and of Mr. Craigc as false.
hoods We were willing for time to overlook
such coarseneSs, being anxious for fair and free
discussion, and DESTROYS OF treating all cotem
poraries with respect, but we convinced from
the tone Of that paper that it does not intend to deal
fairly in politics. and shall therefore not hesitate to
point out its errors whenever we think proper,
whether the editor likes it or not-Charlotte Demo-
