Cntil recently the Battl of Moors' Creek,
fought February 27th, 1776, had only a tradition
ary and local existence, or at most a passing no
tic, in American history. And yet no battht of
th Revolution so thoroughly illustrate Ameri
can valor, and none has higher claims to rank
amongst tha decisive Nutional Battles of th War
of ndependencet
Jones, Carutlters, 8win, Wiley, Wheeler and
Davis, deserve well of their country for the light
they have reHected upon thi loo long neglected
battle field a battla Hold upon which the bo

niidor Gen: Wolfe in Canada, both had acquired
distinction and fame.
The Battle of Moore's Creek was fought at an
early period of the Kerolution, and is the first
battle fought within th I'S, in which, victory
lurched ou th American s'taa. So that In North
Carolina not only belongs th signal Ktavor of
having been, the first to xhaolv barself from all
allegiance hi the British crown and th first to
declar herself free, sotereigu and tinieien,lciit

it was fought. , But a day, wc hope, is dawning,

have laid enough to enntinn every North Caro
