THE Revive Vs.
Friday and Saturday last were the days sci
apart for the "Governor's Reviews" in this Dis
trict. The officers of the 10th Regiment con
vened for drill, at Ebenezer, on the first day, blu
during the night a heavy storm arose, of rain,
wind, &C., which lasted through the ensuing
day, and, consequently, there was no parade
The Colonel and his subordinates, it is proper
to state, were on the ground.
Monday and Tuesday, were the days set apart
for the 34th Regiment. The first was quite
showery, but not sufficient to cool the ardor Of
the volunteers, so the militia had to "buckle to-
and an excellent drill was effected between show
ers. Tuesday broke forth cloudy and threaten
iug-the Governor had been detained by high
water, the Adjutant General had gone home
the Major General was also among the missing
so, on Brigadier General GLENN devolved the
principal duties of the day. The companies turn
ed out in full numbers, the Regiment having
more than its compliment, with the addition Of
the Cadets of the Military School, who were, as
Light Infantry, accorded the right, while the
ssold guard" of Kings Mountain maintained pc.
sition on the extreme left. The evolutions were
well performed, and with a willingness credit
able to all parties.
Gen. GLENN, before Diminishing the parade,
addressed the Regiment in a few remarks ap-
p~ropriate to the occasion. He did not believe
that the Military system in this State was a
'humbug," as it had been termed, but thought
that now was a time when the system should be
more fully carried out. Northern aggression
would soon force the South to arms, and her de
pendence, then, must be on her citizen soldiery.
The Union must perish when the 'rail splitting
candidate is elected" He returned thanks to
those who had elevated him to the position he
occupied, and concluded by Introducing
Col. E. C. McLuRE, of Chester, abide. camp
to His Excellency, Gov. GIsT. Col. McLuRE's
speech was an eloquent one, and most graceful
" delivered. He apologized for the Governors
absence, as unavoidable, and, without lame e1-
cuse, proceeded in q truly patriotic vein to stir
up the citizen %soldiery, to a just appreciation of
their rights and wrongs. He had once esteemed
the GLORIOUS Union" glorious no longer, when
Southern equality is lost. A Sontharn- Cnnfad-
eracy was to be formed-our military system
was no ~humbug-Eutaw, Kings Mountain, CAM
den, Cowpens, oil attest it was not in the olden
ime-as to the old York District-the answer
was-here. Col. NJ. was warmly applauded,
when the parade was dismissed.
Il is but due to give credit to the Volunteer
Companies present. The Kings Mountain Light
the Union Light Infantry, and the
ssJaspers," of our town ; added to which were
the gallant Cadets four "Zouaves") who took
the eyes of the ladies', and earned the common
dations of the harder sex. We are proud to say
that the compliment paid to the 34th as one of
first Regiments in the State is not an idle one
we know they deserve it, and will venture our
Volunteers-all four of them-against any other
four in the State, for efficiency as soldiers, or
department as men.
Not the least disturbance occurred to mar the
exercises of the day-though all the candidates
were present, there was no treating, and 80 lit
tie more cider was all we heard called for
May the like good feeling, the offspring of a true
reform, ever characterize our public gatherings.
