CHARLESTON, June 12.-Governor Cham
berlain has obtained for presentation to the
Washington Light Infantry, who start to-
morrow for Bunker Hill, an elegant fac. de-
signed hike that under which FoIt Moultrie
was won In 1776. In his letter, requesting
Hon. w. ID. Porter to make the presentation
in his name, the Governor says: 81 wish
this flag may be received by the Washington
Light Infantry as a proof Of my personal
and official interest IN their organization,
especially in purposes and feelings which in
spire their presence at Bunker Hill, which
may signify the sincere Veneratlon in which
the people of South Carolina hold all who
bore part in founding the American nation.
l wish it may call to mind, wherever l. be
seen, the early patriotism which gave to
America and the world The examples and
memories of Eutaw and Bunker Hill, of
Lexington and Rings mountain, and
the hundred other battle-felds where
South Carolina and Massachusetts-th
North and the South-mingled their blood.
If that early patriotism and those costly
sacrifices are to have full fruition, it will be
when the North and South are again united.
Then free and Just national government
shall command the love and honor of all
sections. To hasten such results is the func-
ton Of those memorial Observances in which
the Washington Light Infantry and this flag
flag of South Carolina will significant and
honorable part. beg you TO intrust this
FLAG to the keeping of your comrades Of the
Washington Light Infantry with such ex-
pressions of patriotic sympathy as the occa-
sion may suggest. May Heaven prosper
and protect them while absent, and the
Bunker Hill of to-day be TO them and us a
sacred spot"
Mr.. Porter, in his reply, expresses cor
dial concurrence in the sentiments of the
Governors letter and adds: ut seems to
me as if there was something providential
in the occurrence of these centennial cele-
brations so soon after our recent estrange-
ment. If there be a common ground on
which the people of the North and South
can meet and look each other in the eyes,
and strike hands, and renew their pledges
of fidelity to liberty and union, without dis
paragement or loss Of self respect on either
side, it Is upon grounds Of holy places
where their forefathers laid the founda-
ton of independence and cemented them
with their precious blood. The memo
ries there kindlewith a sort of Geographic
flash from the first affairs of liberty raised
in the North to the first affairs raised in the
South, and thence diffuse themselves as
electric fires through the forty millions Of
hearts which throb in sympathizing patriot
ism over this mighty continent. This is
the way to bridge over the chasm. In fur
therance OF, this blessed work let me ex-
press the hope that on the tWenty-eighth Of
June, 1876, wheno South Carolina in her
turn celebrates the victory at Fort Moultrie,
the bright morning star and harbinger of
American Independence, the whole Of the
people of the old thirteen States will be
there in body"
