That was aa event1 of which the leas aaid about It, on oar part, the better we ahall appear." Fro ia such ncjuft,laqderous and rather disreputable imputations, unsupported by history aod the real facts, I beg leave to disaent, and feel called opon to defend my native State of North Ourolioa. Such unworthy and unfounded charges attempted to be cast upoo the lair fame ; ef the Old North State are anjust, falsifjiag history, and an unwarranted attempt to taresh one of the brightest pages of American history, of which the whole nation .abonld be justly proud. The true history is soon told. Cornwallls oSered battle to Gen. Greene, who waa in coarmacd of the Boatbern forces in the Revolu tion. Greene waa too. weak to fight hia aad retreated across Dsn river into Virginia, hotly pursued I by Gcrnyallis. Greene recruited bis forces froa Usyjlsndj Virginia and other sources. , and returned to Guilford Courthouse, In North Carolina, and ' offered battle to Cornwallls and whipped him la open combat ; Cornwallls, who waa. defeated on the battlefield, turned his artillery on -his own anen, who were rooted god ficeing trosi the Americans, and l shot them down, with their victorious conquerora in pursuit, and thereby changed the fortunes of the day aod claimed the field of battle. lie fltd from the scene of carnage the next day, leaving his djiog and wounded entirely unprovided for on the battle field, from which he hastened, in the hands of bis foe. And when Greene agtja offered him battle he ran away. This is the whole story aa verified by all the historiaoa. : ! i True the battle of Guilford Court house waa fought on the 15th Marsh, 17SL The American forcas composed mostly of raw recruits of militia were commanded by Gen. Greene, and the British army of well-disciplined veteran i troops were commanded by Lord Corn wsllis. 'I,'," In that desperate arroggle opon that blood stained field of human gore of Guilford Coort-boase, tbee brave men staked their fortnues. The history giving the accoant of the conflict, sajs; 'Tbe battle ra ged with great violence, each striv ing for victory,' when Lieutenant Col. Washington (as he had at the Cowpsns) pressed forward with his cavalry in the thickest ef the fight. The Bogliah under Btuart gave ground, when LleuL-CoL Washing ton fell opoa bin sword in hand, followed by Howard with fixed baronets. Btuart fll by the sword ot Cape mlta cX the First regi ana snot mem aae tneir pursuers down alike and turned the fortunes of the day, and retained the field of battle, and by that meana "es caped certain destruction,"' . History tells us, "the next day Lord Cornwallls put hia army io motion for Bell' mills. . , ' Leaving the field and hia wounded to the care ef Gen. Greene." Tbe night of the day after the battle waa remarkable for ita dark ness, and for the torrents of rain that fell. The cries of the wonnded and dying exceeded all descrip tion." , , I , , Greene proposed to. renew the contesL He reported on the next day, "hia men in good spirits aod In perfect readitesa fcr another and og raauy oi nla own brave soldiers, umaoly shot down, perhaps, by owo artilery, on cared for, to die upon tha battle field or to the tender mersiea of hia brave and humane adversary.' This waa the first severe blow that Cornwallia bad received, and when be was erippledTy it that be never recovered from It, and after warring against fate and becoming weaker and weaker every day, be finally surrendered and was easily vanquished by Gen. Washington at yorktown, on tho 19th day of October, 1T81. The aeverr ehock that Cornwallia received from Greene at the battle of Guilford Coort-bou80 was the beginning of the end of the revolutionary con flict. . - Had not the people of the good old State ot North Carolina the right with Just pride to celebrate the centennial anniveraary of the battle . of Guilford Court House, which was of so much credit to their ancestors and which told so power fully io the davi of the revolution the destinies of this great country, without an attempt made now, .at 'his late day, for the first time, to' undervalue and ridicule their pre tentions 7' , It baa been looked opon . and called by, do less!-high .authority than OoL Benton himself, in bis work, Thirty Tears in the Senate of the United States, as the decisive battle cf the Southern war in the revolution. I History tells us again : 'Wherev. er men had fallen most of them still lay, dead and dying promiscuously mingled; Englishman and Ameri can aide by aide in helpless agony. All rhronoh tkn aad nfoht their ehrieka and groans were mingled too. . Sometimes a sharp shriek would be followed by a feeble groan, and the groan grew fainter till death came, and all was hushed. Before morning near1! fifty- had expired from ex posure." If Cornwallis had been victorioua and master of the field he would not have been unmoved by these piercing shrieks of ag onizing death straggles of hossan suffering on these bloody plains without making an effort, if be was able, to relieve their anguish. But dire necessity, .self-preservation, made him heedless to these last ap peals even for one drink of water, and the poor fellows were abandon ed and left by Cornwallis to the care of their brave and generous enemy for tbe last acts of kindness, o sooth their paia and minister to their wants io tbe hour ot death. Some of the brave men engsged in the battle of Guilford Court House were some of the very same invincible spirits that bad fought at the battle of King's Mountain. That desperate battle which Lord Kawden had himself declared to the British government that tbe men en raced in it fought with such daring and determined acts of bravery, and such desperate hardi hood and disregard of death on tbe part of the Americana aa waa en tirely unknown in modern warfare. My grandfather as a aolsier of the Revolution fought at the battle of Guilford Court House and took part in that, desperate atruggle nnder Gen. Greene. Many a time and off when a child have I heard him re count the deeds and incidents of down one bill-tbe purtraincr armv a a a eouia do seen rising, as it were, at tbe top of the bill behind them. When one day Cornwallis 'made' a forced march of forty miles to over take Ureene, the latter succeeded in crossing Dan river, and saved his. whole army, Washington him self, wrote and ' congratalated Greene npon this 'glorious retreat in these words;' - "Yoa may be as. sured- that yonr retreat 'before Cornwallia is highly appended by alt ranks, and witb much honor on yonr military abilities." ' ". , "My hopes," writes Washington to breene, "rest on my knowledge or your talents." This was tbe man that gave battle to Cornwallis.' "Tb ia great battle which dis tinguishes the county of Guitford as toe scene ot action : tbe most important ever fought i" the State" writee the historian, "and the moat important to tbe American cause In tbe whole South." ' : j "The retreat, we are told in his tory, "is one ot tbe most celebrated. It called for the admiration of tbe friea.de of America, and the do qualified praiae of every British writer." - ., i . More than once," says Col. Lee. "were bis legion and the van of O'Harra within bock-shot." It may be said of tbe American commander on this occasion, what waa said of Thncydides, that "his genius was certainly of the-highest order. . It was truly sublime." Nothing. in aneieut or modern history can then be compared to this great event of tbe hero, who fought the battle of Guilford Court House against Com wailis. Had not tbe patriotic people of North Caro lina a just right and with a becom ing pride to eelebiate the ceaten niaheventf Tbe people - of North Carolina have just came to be proud of her past history. Three of her native- born citizens went from her bono daries, yon nay say poor, peoni leas and friendless, and won tbe presidency of this great nation by tbeir force of character, and at tbe head of tbe government added character, glory and renown to their country. - r i The Western boundary of North Carolina at one time was a neigh bor to oor territory, and extended to the miehtv current of the Mis sissippi and bad ber whole Wes tern boundary washed by tbe great river, of tbe American continent for twenty years, frnm . 177C j to 1796, when Tennessee was - created ah a state, when Missouri was known as UDWf Lou'sana. .
