Battle of szOOre,s Creek.

The year of centennial celebrations
has been entered upon by the people
of the United States with an apparent
determination to do the subject full
Justice The few and impor-
tant events which led to and
were connected with the great
revolutionary contests that tran
spi: ed within the limit, of North
Carolina should not, by her own peo-
Pile, be lost sight of. We have had the
'MecA lenburg D, claration celebrated. :.
The battle of Alamance has been
omitted But it is not too late to bring
public attention to the battle of
Moore's creek. This is with us a Sec
tional matter, although it's influences
we've national. and its results
extended themselves to the armies
that csme into the field after
that period. The "Mecklenburg De-
c!aratIon" Oh the Goth of May, 1775,
was followed soon after by coufict
of arms at Moore's creek on the 9th
day OF February, 1776. The sugges-
tion Of our correspondent that the
centennial anniversary of the battle OF
Moore's creek should be celebrated by
our people, we think should be acted
upon. We suggest that the people
who live in the Immediate neighbor-
hood of the battle ground take all the
necessary steps to this end. A neigh
borI. .ood meeting should at once he
called and committees appointed.

Those who voted not guilty explained
their vote as being influenced by the
