THE PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY.
On Thursday evening, the pyrotechnic dis
play, which was on magnificent scale, and
continued late in the night, closed the exer-
cses. In discharging the fireworks, which
was done near the pavilion in which the Asso-
citation held it's meetings, the officers of the
Association were assisted by Lieutenants Nc
Callum and Wills and Sergt. Brown. The
band took a position in the camp OF the Rich
mond HOwitzers on the opposite eminence,
and discoursed music during the display.
HISTORICAL RELICS,
In the pavilion erected for that purpose,
was exhibited under direction of Rev, Robert
Latham, Chairman of the Historical and Rel
los Committee, a number of relics OF the battle
and of the Revolutionary war, OF which the
following are the most notable objects:

The wide reputation of the young Virginia
orator, who had been selected to deliver the
oration, one of the principal features OF the
occasion, led many to anticipate an lntellectu-
al treat of rare enjoyment, nor III this were

words in print. In a resonant voice, distinct
articulation, and with dignified and impress
sive manner, for near two hours he held his
hearers spell-bOund with the matchless elo-
quence his theme inspired. And favorable
comment the address evoked, is the fact that
it contains no allusiOn to the war between the
States.
After the delivery of the Grafton, the band
played "Hail Columbia"
Governor Holiday then introduced General
Alexander w. Campbell, Of Jackson, Tennes-
see, who had been appointed to represent that
State in the reunion of States Oh Tuesday, but
who failed to reach the grounds in time-a
rather unfortunate circumstance for he did
not seem to catch the inspiration of the occa-
sion, and spoke in a very vehement manner on
dead issues of the war, to the embarrassment
of all who heard him. This was regretted the
more, because the speaker is descendant of
the Campbells of Revolutionary fame, and
that was the only war his auditors had met to
hear about.
The Rev. David w. Wills, Chaplain of the
Fifth U. S. Artillery, who had been requested
by vote of the Association to deliver an ad-
dress on the religious character of the officers
who fought at Kings Mountain, was now in
troduced by Col. Coward; but the Reverend
gentleman excused himself OH the ground that
it was growing late, and that it would be high
ly presnmptuops in him to follow the silver
tones of the great Virginia orator. Under
other circumstances he would be incl lined to
pay tribute to the spOtch-lrish patriotism
that had made this spot sacred to liberty for

true heirs of freedoms glorious sdower-the
heritage bequeathed by illustrious sires who
shed their blood but sacrificed not their honor

man of the Association dedicated the grounds

could not but recall to mind the earnest appeal
in behalf of the battle-ground, made by the
Hon. George Bancroft, the eminent historian,
on the same grounds, a quarter Of century

Auspicious. glorious omen to the brighter SUM-
burst that was soon to wrap the grand old
mountain in a glory that would be undimmed
forever The order, Spartan in it's brevity and
in it's import, was passed down the line from lip
to lip, cite up overcoats, pick touch-hOles,
fresh prime, and be ready to fight" The peo-
pie of the country side gathered in, plough
boys and seedsmen left the fields, guides were
selected, the word Forward !" was given,
and in twenty minutes the head of the column
caught, through the opening of the woodland,
the glittering sheen of British bayonets firing
ing the mountain top. Within mile of their
destination a courier of Ferguson, with dis
patches for CORVALLIS, was captured. In that
last message to his commander, Ferguson said:
II hold position On the Kings Mountain,
and all the rebels out of hell cannot drive me
from it, These words were read at the head
of Campbell's men. They spoke not a word.
Not a shout was raised. But grim smile
crapt over their stern faces while they prepared
to put the braggart partisan to the test.
Near the base of the mountain the men were
halted, the horses were picketed, every man
stood to his gun, and swiftly were the dispo-
sitions of battle made. Right opposite the

Britannia Majesty, was here defeated and kill

left posted Shelby with the men of Sullivan.
Sewer, with his own men, part of Cleveland's
regiment under Major Winston, and the men
of Hambright and Chronicle, constituted the
right wing. The rest of Cleveland's men, led
by himself and united with the command of
Williams and Mcdowell, composed the left
wing. Sewer, with the right wing, was to move
up the ravine along the margin of the brook,
a branch of Clark's Fork of BullOck's Greek
Cleveland with the left, to pursue the course
now marked by the woods; Shelby to act in
cooperation with Campbell, and Campbell to

THE CONTEMPLATED OUTRAGE.


1t did not need the determinate action of
the Democrats on the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections in the KELLOGG
SPoFFORD case, to satisfy the country of the
deep-seated spirit of desperation that has
fastened upon that party. There are plenty
of other proofs of that fact in the action of
that party in both branches of Congress
and throughout the country, but without
any other collateral proofs this one act is
sufficient to stamp that party with an utter
disregard of equity or justice when tenn
porary advantage can he achieved by their
sacrifice. There never has been in the en-
tire centennial history of the American
Congress so transparent q fraud or so
great an outrage committed as is in
volved in the proposed action of the
committee. 1t is depraved and shame
less in the extreme, under the most
clearly established and best under
stood rightful equities of the case. The
simple truth is that Senator KELLOGG is
Senator de factO and de jure. His case has
once been passed upon by the Senate after
most thorough investigation of its merits,
and his title has been fully established and re-
cognized by the body, and it would be equally
Just to assail the title of either Senator
THURMAN or BAYARD to the seats they now
occupy, us to attempt to oust Senator X Ell
LOGG and put Judge SPoFFoRD in his place.
There is no law for or justice in this pro-
posed action-nether is there any prece-
dent to justify it. 1t is q bald attempt to
commit an outrage under an arbitrary ex-
ercise of power that cannot be defended
upon any principle of law, right or justice,
aud should it be fully perpetrated by the
future action Of the majority of the Senate,
it will pass into history as an atrocity un-
known to the annals of civilized cover n
ment.
The report of the committee, which in
vites the Senate to consummate great
wrong, must, of course, be considered by
that body. When time for action shall
come then the fullest and ireest discussion
will be in order, for no previous question
can intercept it, and we may safely predict
that the best legal ability and the strongest
powers of elOquence will be challenged to
spread the case before the country, nnd If
possible, to prevent the cousummation of
an unparalleled wrong. Unless the major
ity have predetermined this case regardless
of its rights and equities, it must fail; but
the fear is that desperation has absorbed
every sense of right with the Democratic
party and that arbitrary power is to trample
upon every principle of law aud justice in
this case. The Democrats Of the Senate
may fancy that they can afford to consum-
mate this outrage for paltry political adj
vantage, but we warn them that a certain
retrbution will sooner or later assuredly
ayenge such an outrage in some manner not
now anticipated
