HISTORIC NORTH 0dROLINA.
The Raleigh Observer, in noticing
new child's history of North Caro-
lima, says:
There is no State richer in Incl
cidents that do honor to its people
than North Carolina, and we regret
to say none seemingly more inditfer-
ent to them. Most true, and almost
as criminal rs it is true we think, is
it that North Carolinians have been
satisfied to live on from generation
to generation without making any
enduring record Of their noble deeds.
Take for example the brilliant cam
paign that eliminated in the battle
of Moore's Greek on the 9th of
February, l776. Who in the State
or out of it beyond the few who are
curious in such lore knows anything
of that splendid achievement Z Il
II" III" suGufi;itIUn, and "ear I'll. the>., after
we'll planned and bravely fought
battle, in the defeat and rout of the
Royalists and the capture Of all
their stores. baggage, ammunition,
arms, and the greater part Of the
troops. And all this was no hap
hazard affair, but the fruit Of thirty
days marching and man@uvreing
between Fayetteville and Whining
ton, Il campaign in which artillery,
cavalry and infantry were used, and
in which the troops engaged were
drawn, as far wost as from Green's
boro, and Us far e9st as from
Newbern. It would astonish most
people to be told that as long rs six
mon tbs before the National Decla>
ration of Independence, North
Carolina was so far advanced in her
preparation for the coming Revolu-
ton as to be able singlo~handed and
alone to conduct such a campaign as
that which ended in the great VIC
tory of Moore's Greek, but it is true
for all that. Every child knows
about Bunker Hill and Lexington,
however.

The INDIANA VIcroRY.-The recent
election in Indiana has been some~
what overlooked in the eagerness to
examine the result of the election
in Ohio, on the same day but an
Indiana Republican, writing to the
Cincinnati Gazette, makes q very
ineligible summary of it as follows:
"That we have been ingloriously de-
feated there is no doubt. It is the
grandest Democratic victory achiev-
ed in Indiana since the existence OF
the Republican party. The increas.
ed majority in the State is in itself
great, but not until we add to that
the loss of four Congressional Dis
tricts-and gain of but one-the
loss of three of the State Senatorial
Districts and thirteen of the Repre-
sentative Districts, are we able to
estimate the extent OF our defeat
and it seems to one member of the
party, at least, that we had best
look the truth squarely in the face
