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 of Gov.

Alexander Mc!od. veter ans, on of whom had fought 'wt Culloden, and 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 State, but to her, also, belongs the equally glori ous distinction of huv'uig is-en (he ft' st St.it that fixed the prestige of invinj b lity b Atner'tuan anus.
