I spoke again.

HISTORICAL SKETCHES
OF THE
Early Settlement of South Carolina.
BY Rev. ROBERT LATHAM.

BY REV. ROBERT LATHAM.
THE FALL OF CHARLESTON.
After the attempted, but unsuccessful,
storming of Savannah, on the 9th Of October,
1779, the French and American armies con-
tinued, in appearance, to prosecute the siege.
1t was only feint. Both armies were ma
king preparation for raising the siege. On
the night of the 18th of October, the Ameri'
can forces, under General Lincoln, retired to
Zully's Ferry, and the French forces, under
Count d dEstaing, to Caustin's Bluff From
this point, the French proceeded to Tyber,
where they had left their ships. Here the
French arrived on the 10th of October,
whence the French Count left the Continent.
General Lincoln marched from Zully's Ferry
to Charleston.
No doubt both General Lincoln and his
troops were cast down and sad. The two ar
mics parted, say the American historians, with
the kindest feelings toward each other; but
the British historians give very different &C.
count of their separation. The British histo'
rians say that no good feeling existed between
the officers of the French and American ar
mics before the attempt to take Savannah by
storm, and after this unfortunate affair, it was
with great difficulty that an open rupture was
prevented. Each party reproached the other
for bad management and cowardly conduct.
Gladly the two armies formed junction,
and as gladly they separated. All the cir.
cumstances of the case seem to favor the Brit
ish account rather than the American.
The fall of Savannah into the hands of the
British, late in 1778, and now the unsuccess-
full attempt to drive the British out of it in
1779, were sore calamities; but they we're
only the precursors of more calamitous
event. -;... .. .r....
Strange as it may seem, the British, al
though meeting with but little successful op-
position, still they made but little headway in
reducing the country to subjection. They were
nominally in possession Of all of Georgia, and
much of the lower section of South Carolina.
Actually, they were in possession of only sa-
vannah. r. @tat.. l-.a, t, T..
So soon as it was learned that D'Estaing
had left the American continent, Sir Henry
Clinton set out in earnest to effect his long
cherished plan of reducing South Carolina to

T' WAsH1NGToN's WHITE CHANGERS Geo.
Washington was an excellent horseman. It
is said that he could ride at full gallop and
retain silver dollar between each knee and
the saddle, such was the tenacious grasp Of his
thighs upon the horse. He was very fond of
his horses and liked to see them thoroughly
groomed. The manner in which bis white
horses were keptwhite is curious. Mr.. 9. w.
P. Gusts states that the night before they
were to be used they were entirely covered
with paste, the chief ingredient Of which
was whiting, and were then completely clothed
and left for the night to sleep on clean straw.
By morning this coating vas hard and dry it
was then brushed and dcnrried Of; leaving the
hair white and glossy After this the. hoofs
were blackened and polished. ID To complete
this curious toilet, the horsss mouths we're
washed. and their teeth picked and washed,
when they we're considered to be groomsd,
and were ready for work.

as circumstances would allow. Commodore
Whipper, with small force which Congress
had sent south, was ordered to take his stand
in the harbor, and prevent the fleet Of Admi-
raj Arbuthnot from crossing the bar. Such,
briefly, was the disposition made of the Amer
can forces. ~. ..' " --.
Determined to hasten slowly, Sir Henry
Clinton established military depot at Wap-
poo, on James Island, and repaired Fort
johnson. After near two months delay in
preparing for the seige, his forces moved for
ward on the 18th of March, crossed the Sto'
no, and on the same day crossed the Ashly at
the point where the first settlement in the
State was made. Here, to make assurance
doubly sure, entrenchments were thrown up
confronting those of the Americans on the
opposite shore. From the time that Sir Hen
~ Clinton landed on Johns Island, up to
this time, the only opposition be met vith was
a single skirmish party led by Colonel Wash
ington. .,#I. ~ 2.
Arbuthnot and Clinton acted in concert,
and this will explain, to some extent, the long
delay that Clinton made on James Island.
Arbuthnot found it difficult to get bis large
vessels over the bar. The guns had to be
removed and various contrivances resorted to
in order to effect his purpose. On the 10th,
Arbuthnot crossed the bar with bis small
ships and transports, and drove Commodore
.Whipper from Five Fathom Hole, near the
city. Il -a.. rs 9Ii d g.lta: ID .5aE

of the president the order of succession, a.
now provided by the Constitution and by
additional legislation, is as follows First,
the vice president, rcxt the president pro

the house of representatives,. Now, here Is
an instance in which two of the three OIL

in case of vacancy-sre docclsed The
vice president lie dead, and the speaker of

Decease Of the Speaker Of the House.

One of the most painful episodes in our
public affairs has btcn the decease OF the
speaker of the hou'c of representatives of
the United States, after prolonged period
OF intense suffering. Distressing as the
earthly parting between Mr.. Kerr and his
family and friends must have been, yet it
equally must have been happy relief to
The sufferer There is, however, public
loss, for Mr.. Kerr was an able, and what in
these times is of more value, most faith
full public servant. He was an honor to
his party and credit to his country.
Whether as neighbor in the community
where he had his residence, as lawyer con-
Quoting the affairs of trusting clients, as
legislator at tho capital of his state and at
he capital of his country, he was man
and an officer whose action was governed
by the most honorable sense of duty as
well as high degree of ability, During
the short time in which it was his fortune
to ill the high office of speaker of the
house of representatives of the United
States, he impressed all his colleagues, of
all parties, with his integrity and impair
TALLY, and his desire to conduct his share
of the important business of legislation in a
manner bt fitting the welfare and dignity OF
the country.
The decease of the speaker Of the house
of representatives shows that, fully as we
have appeared to guard sgaintt..a an interreg-
mum in the office of president of the United
States by laws providing for the filing of

origil a Bistow man, by the republicans
of New York, as candidate for governor.
is another triumph of the reform element
of the party, and another dc!est-a crush
ing one it is. tol--of machine politics.
Governor Morgan has long been pTominen,
in New York, having been the ''war COVER
nor of that sd e, and creditsbly repre-
scented it ia the senate Of the Uniied States.
Though long in pubic life, not the shadow
of q tuspi, ion attaches to his good name,
but he il conceded, by democrats as well
as republicans, to he honest, capable and
able. While, reasonably, we should have
preferrel the nomination Of William NJ.
kvarts, we are inclined to think, all things
considered, that Governor Morgan will
prove much the strongest candidate, and
poll much the largest vote-and that is an
important consid ration this year. We
believe that his nomination insures the state
of New York to Hsyc, AMI Wheeler.
