School; and the fifth, in like manner, by Lieut..
I. N. Withers of the Jasper Light Infantry
All who have spoken to US Of the occasion
and we have consulted many-agree in pronoun-
cling both these responses in every way highly
commendable. The toasts were as follows:
The Day ace Celebrate.-lustituted as the Ssb.
bath of Freedom. Let it ever be observed az
the tribute Of grateful people to the heroic
past aud its brave actors
George Washington.-His name will be more
lasting than the marble shaft which the world
is now contributing to erect.
The Army and Many Of the United States.-
Whether on ocean or on land, the stars and
stripes have been borne by them in honor and
in triumph. -
= The Kings Mountain Military School.-An In
stitution of which the State should be proud
combining literary instruction with military
training, order and discipline; and under the
care of gentlemen in every respect worthy Of so
responsible charge. 1t merits the patronage
and support of all who delight in the progress
of science, literature and art May it ever
prosper and flourish.
Tie Jasper LightJwantry.-A gallant corps
worthy of the illustrious soldier whose name
it bears. Their presence revives the recollec-
tions of the memorable 2Sth of June, '76, which
contributed so nobly to the event which we to-
day commemorate. Should the intestine factions
that threaten US, ever again embroilus in strife,
we will cheerfully intrust to their guardianship
the colors of our country, in the full confidence
that they, like their great representative, will
die in their defence.
A Southern Contederacy. In the keeping fsuch
body our rights and equality would find safety.
State Glory-Like individual honor, it is
jewel beyond value. 1t has shone brightly in
our past history, and should be preserved in its
pristine splendor at every cost and every sacri.
fee.
The Palmetto Regiment.-They vindicsted the
claims of South Carolina chivalry, and have
given to her history its brightest page.
The South.-Her safety consists not in the
protection Of the Union-not in Yankee suffer-
ance-but in the power and spirit of her people.
Hon. r. B. Rhet.-His undertaking eonstancy
and wise craftsmanship for thirty years, eutitle
him to the gratitude of the South.
Hon. W. Il. Ydncey.-Alabama has the labor
Of this noble statesman, but South Carolina Is
proud to claim him as one of ber native SONS.
He has laid the South under lasting obligations
by his peerless eloquence and stern patriotism.
John C. Breckinridge.-For the next presiden-
cy, his past services, both in The Cabinet and on
the battle field, entite him to the support and
unwayering confidence Of the South.
The Ladiss-Whose smiles are the signal lights
Of the soldiers hope, and the ever grateful re-
ward of his victories. o..
After this, the auditory repaired to beautiful
grove near by, where bountiful tables Of we'll
cooked provisions were spread in rich profus-
ion and variety. Places were reserved forShr mil.
itary companies, and all things errangedit il dmi-
rable keeping with propriety and taste-showing
that the Committee of Arrangements, and Col.
W. B.. Allison, the Marshal Of the Day, had
been at their posts. All say the dinner was
rare triumph. ,..-..
After dinner, great number Of "Volunteer
Poasts" were given. We have been able to pro-
cure only the following:
By Capt Robt H. Glenn: The Jasper Light
Tnfdntry.-Their very name is emblematical Of
their readiness to hur defiance in the teeth ofall
tyrants Their charge will be the presage Of VIC
tory. Their performance shows the skillful dis
cipline of their gallant captain and proves him
an officer Of ability and merit.
By H. D. Stowe: Tile Cadets of the King,
Mountain Military School.-Ycung America ARM
ing for the fields Of glory-a system we'll calcu-
lated to develop and adorn the intellectual whilst
it adds grace, vgor and strength, to the physical
man.
By Richard M. Presley: Hon. Jas. Chesnut,
J.-His political course has been characterized
by the frmness of conscious truth and rectitude
of princip iple-the mantle Of his predecessors has
fallen upon worthy shoulders.
A volunteer toast was, we understand, offered
to the Press and responded to briefly by DR.. W.
H. Thomasson Of the Rock Hill Chronicle.
In the afternoon the three companies Joined
in dress parade and skirmishing drill. Their
movements were indicative of their excellent
training. The immense crowd then began to
disperse-all consenting that the fourth had been
spent worthily at Clay Hill.
The Cadets and Jaspers remained in their
encampment until Thursday morning, o'clock,
when they struck tents and marched back to
Yorkville. In front Of the Court House they
fired three rounds; and Lieut.. Metts, on behalf
of their gallant commander, returned thanks to
the two companies for their soldierly bearing
and commendable department during the entire
encampment.
The Columbia Mulano Band made music for
the Jasper Light Infantry and Cadets and the
Bethel Band, for the Catawba Light Infantry,
during the celebration. Both bands play we'll
and their music contributed much to enliven the
occasion. They were promptly at hand, when.
ever and wherever needed, cheering the hearts
of all with
- "strains that would Greats soul
Under the ribs Of death"
A Worthy Boy.
One of the subscribers to the Enquirer, a lad
of ten years, has gathered blackberries to pay
his subscription to the paper. He has been ta-
king the paper now six months. When he
brought the first two gallons Of berries-their
market price with US is fifty cents per gallon

says he "Iwish to pay for my paper" Again he
brought other two gallons, and the proprietor
repeated his wish to pay him. "No, sir! I wish
to take your paper again." and he did so.
We understand that he is very studious boy.
The principle of honest industry and persever-
ance is deeply implanted in him, we venture to
say, or he would not have adopted such meth
od of meeting the demands of the Enquirer against
him, and Of securing its visits in the future.
May kind fortune attend him! We sincerely
hope that some rich man, or benevolent associa-
ton, will speedily find him out and give him
good education. This seems to be the upper
most wish Of his mind. We know something Of
