At the battle of Eutau Springs our fore
fathers fought gloriously. Gen. Summer
! commanded three battalions of North Car. r
olinians under the leadership respectively
of Lieut.. Col Ashe and Majors Armstrong
and Blount. Gen. Greene SAYS of them:
| +" Those were new Ieyies ::
notwithstanding which they fought with
| degree of obstinacv that would do honor
to the best of veterans and could hard
| ly tell which to admire most, the eallant-
ry of the officers or the bravery of the
| troors" 10. 6O2l In tho same battle
Col. Malme .ly commanded two battalions
of North Carolinians. These were O. part
of the first line of battle. Gen Greene
says that tho Colonel Conducted these
troops with great galantry the militia
| fought with degree of spirit and frmness
that reflects the highest honors upon that
class of soldiers" 10. COLI The Con.
gress, Oct. goth, 1871, voted sThat the
thanks of the United States in Congress
assembled, be presented to the brigade of
North Carolinians for their resolution and

sustaining a superior fire. 70. 474.) Gen.
Sumner is buried some two miles from
Jones Springs in Warren county, North
Carolina. There is q handsome monument
over his remains. which the writer has

These extracts are ample TO show tho
| brave bearing and valuable services of our
Revolutionary ancestry We see from
them that gallantry and not cowardice
was their DISTINGUISHING trait. Now for
1t is we'll known that generally the
Maryland and Virginia soldiers fought
with conspicuous courage, but not always,
as L will now proceed to establish.
At the battle of Camden the Virginians,
! under Gen. Stevens. "without exchanging
more than one fire with the enemy, threw
away their arms and sought safety in
flight" am constrained by oandor to
add that Col. Lee testifes that the N. @.
brigade, under Gen. Caswell, became de-
moraliZed when thew saw their neiphborS
the Virginians, throwing down their arms ~
