HISTORICAL SKETCHES.
With the issue of March 25, we will commence
the publication of series of SKETCHES OF THE
EARLY HISTORY OF UPPER SOUTH CAROLINA,
particularly that section including the present
counties of Fairfield, Chester and Lancaster;
by Rev. Robert Latham, a native of Fairfield.
Besides the authors intimate knowledge OF the
localities forming the scene Of these Sketches,
he has devoted to the writing and compilation
of them much thought and extensive research.
They embrace the stirring scenes and important
events, the anecdotes and MISUNDERSTANDING
and authentic-which have never before been
fully published, connected with the Revolution
ary history Of the State. Much Of the material OF
these Sketches being traditional-the events por-
trayed having never been in print-and written
in Mr.. Lathan's easy, familiar style, they will be
read with peculiar satisfaction, not only in our
own State, but by every one having just appre-
citation of the history of worthy ancestry in their
struggle for liberty and independence. The chap
ters grow in absorbing interest as the narrative
proceeds, the publication of which will be contn-
ued through the year.
CHESTER CORRESPONDENCE.
To meet the demands of our increasing circula-
ton in Chester county, we have engaged the SER
vices Of BRAINERD McLURE, Esq, who will con-
tribute letter of correspondence from Chester
regularly each week. These letters are devoted
entirely to Chester affairs-to the local interests
of the town and county-terse and piquant, form
ing an important attraction to our columns.
