To any one who best owa thought upon tht eob Jett, ft muet tppear ainjrular, and indeed almost aoaccouaiablev that dowa tu tht present day. beoueveriiy years hare elipaed ainco riorth Carolina took ber ataod aa an independent State, aolootiiotion, having' in view a a object similar to thin, haa fluar iahed Within ber border. The an. - ti;uixieo and re moantaof our Revolutionary atory. to woica may wen ta appircu -it nvfrgir of Lrd Bacon, lit ronfusedly acat. ' tared ia every direct wo over the scene of tne lait trorrn. Owing to this fact, many manuscripts, of rjreat iraportanet Jo the lUustraiion of tbo War, have beea irrecoverably lost. Toprevenlthtpro- rmi of an evil, wbkh so far aa it has yet fout. it irreparable, is a pnaeiaal reject of this Jsoctety It can oca ret ly be expect e that our diligence, so dilaioriry awakeeod, shall ho rswirded by an ela eidation of our iUveluljpnaxy annala coal to what has Ukea tiara among tht more active, Northern members of the Coofederary ; yet it it hoped that, by bringing together and reducing to toot mora indeotrudibJe form the memorials of . a general tun whose place now knows them again BO more fbrersr, we shall in soma degree acquit eurrelreaef our debt to tbo paat'andui posterity. Front deficient tee, such as those existing arnotf tht recorda of ear own State, it muat bt evident, that a hiatory of tbo American Revolutionary wir, whoea merits art cumrneneuratt wilb tht iinpor tiDCt of that great atruggleit yet 10 bt written Narrative! havt appeared, without doubt, ranking high aa literary production a, or, for tht moot part, at a ot be alio acrouaia of whatever faeta they may . pretend to relate; bat at general histories of tht acrecal campaigns, it will be found that they art et aeniially, although petbape, not unaccounta bly deficient. It could hardly be expected that an aces rata coUeciiea of tht journal and other BMrnoraoda of a war which extended over tht thret hundred and sixty thousand square mile comprehended by tht limits of tbt thirteen origi. nal States cnuld bt mads by yntlemea residing, aatQostof onr historian do, in one part of the Uaioa, This fact hat impressed itself strongly wpooour Revolutionary annals. Whilst I be events of tht war, ae' carried on ia tht Northern and UidJlt portions of tbo Confederacy have been fol ly itcorded, that part of tho same coolest which extends! thro' Carolina and Georgia it atrikingly imperfect.- No hiatory has yet appeared, which, doea not discover a siaularity to the- figure which disturbed tht rest of the ancient King of Chaldea ; Jlhough la bead and breast art composed of gold .and silver, its lower extremities degenerate into aa Buuningting compound of iron and claf. The slaty of pointing out and of remedying tbeae dif. , fieieocka must necessarily derotvt upon gentlt men at tht S001 h.

In. attempting It make a collection of these faclo, it was clearly necessary to suecree, that tht genera) attention of tht Suit ahould bt arous ed i an appreciation of tht importance of our un dertaking. Too-degree of cariosity and interest already excited amoag distinguished portions of our fellow-citizens, is held to be a pleasing proof thai Uut enterprise is by no means premature or tUaMseonablt ; and tht amount of material alrea dy contributed, may well bt assumed as a fair prtejjrs of a greater degree of aacceae than had beea anticipated in tbt organization of the 8oci ttj Ia the opening IJeseagt of Gov.
