(Sensation,) That which even Tarleton was ashomed to do, with the refinement of a devilish rage, he had done hy Americans—neighbors, is kinamen 0 victims. I draw no fancy spicture— the traith is wilder far than the fabulist’s ima. wimation can feign the morning this battle was fought, an impenct lof woe and despair ys, bred people of § olina. Gates had fled to Hillsborough, and Sumter’s men had seattered; and it may be said with Mistorical accuracy there was not a whig soldier in the field. Mr. Preston, in this connection, gave an account of the military rale which Lord Corn~ ‘wallie had established over South Carolina by a cordon of posts on the Georgin and North Carolina (rontiers, a% well as through the central portions of the State, show- ing the subjugated condition to which it had been re- @nced, and to maintain which he retied mainly upon the strong detachment under the command of Col. Ferguson. He also described, at considerable length, the march the patriot army from the valley of the Watanga ac the mountains, and their pursult of Ferguson to his en- trenebment on King’s Mountain, where the battle was fought, giving a brief sketch of the characters of the Give colonels commanding the American forces, and of their cleetion of Campbell, of Virginia, to the chilef command. The American army numbered eleven hundred picked wen, choren ont of Sixteen hundred, a portion of whom They bad left behind at Rutherford Courthouse, in.

The mountaineers proved their skill with most deadly effect, forcing Kergason at the very beginning to resorteo a direct charge. This charge was headed by @ company of British regulars, and was worthy the high name and fame of that service. It was boldly and gal- jantly done, and forced the patriots to give baek down the hill; but at thet moment Cleayeland and Williams speared on the leit, and poured into the charging co mmo? sch an awful fire as to stop them before Sevier wes touted. The British turned from charging on Sevier, anu wheeling, made a temible dash at Cleaveland and Williams on the left, and with Ike effect, driving tuem Peck down the ridge, Sevier, however, rallied insiantly, and at the same ‘tine Shelby and Cempbell appeared with the centre columm, rising in front aiong the ridge. These two colnmns, the centre and Ieit, then poured their fire on both danks of the Britien, ‘and stopped the ¢ against Cleveland and Withame. ‘Wheellag xapidly receiving reinforcements from within the lines, the British then made a third charge direotly against the centre eclumn, and that irre- sintible B Dayonet again told ita story, and Camp- bell and Shelby, were forced back, down ‘nearly to the valley. But Cledveland ond Williame having rallied their colamins, and Sevier's continuing to pour its Hre in from the ie(t, the British were forced to leave the pursuit of Campbell and Shelby, turned suddenly, and ves retreated wp the ridge. Shelby and Cempbell hearing this tremendous fire on both Sanks, finding the Bri were retreating, suposed they were defeated, rallied in~ ftanily, and ‘uined in pursuit of them with burrahs of victory, The British turned immediately, and attempted @ fourth charge. It, however, was then too late-—the Klood of the mountaineers was hot; they met and re- pulsed that charge, sud drove the British back withia thelr ines. This enabled the three columns of the patriots to meet, and literally fortuund the army’ of Ferguson, Then came the fierce rage of the battle; a circle of fire hemmed the wolf in bia stronghold. The English soldiers proved their breeding iu this hour of danger and despair, and the ras- cally tories saw that ing the rifle was but ramning into the “grape vin e regulars with their bayo- nets, and the tories with their butcher knives fastened to the tussles of their gume, dame with the ferce energy of denpase The moun- tain hunters, calmly but rapidly loading, and deliberately aiming, eech'at hin mark, sentz. death messenger in every bullet.” Atevery discharge they sdvanced a few steps, until there wos ‘one narrowing circle of flashing tiame crackling around their devoted victims, At this moment the Britieh cavalry were ordered to mount.

Awhite flag was run up, aris thrown down, 8 champions shouted, “Victory! Liberty!” (Tre- mendons applause.) That shout echoed trom the moun- tain tothe sea, and fav along the shore to where the ma- Jestic Washington sat almost weeping over the sad hor- rors of the South. His greet heart leaped with prophetic joy a0 this beam of hope came borne on the triumphant voice of his beloved and trusted men of ‘West Augusta;”” for the men who sent that shout were the very men of whom Washington said he would “trast to them to maintain American liberty after all elae had fail- ed.” (Prolo cheering.)

The force of Terguson amounted to some- thing over eleven bendred men, and of these two hun- dred and forty were killed, and two hundred wounded—a strange proportion, telling the fatal story of that long small bore rifle. Gyer seven hundred were taken prison- ers, with all their arms, ammunition and equipments. It was a total defeat, anda capture of nearly ® quarter ef Cornwallis’s army. (Renewed applause.) Mr. Pres- ton related some of the incidents of the battle, and des canted at length on the important consequences whic! Tesulted from it to the cause of American freedom, and the liberty of the race. He referred particularly to its effects in producing an Immediate rising of the whi thronghout the while South--in preventing Cornwallis and the southern division of the British army from mov- ing forward on Virginia and the middle States to eflect a junction with the northern division at New York; and finally in defeating the well planned scheme of the re-conquest of the provinces. He then spoke of the sub- sequent services of the loaders in this battle; of the ious conduct of the King’s Mountain riflemen, on the , under their old commander; ction of his address by reading tae Iafayette, in honor of General Camp- continued, they have all peseeds they be- nberty is their monument. ‘The world may smile at the great swellin word with whien we praise there men—humble parti xans of a rebellion.

The speaker here alluded to the peculiar origin of American liberty and American institutions: and of cxong appeal which this origin makes to the patriotism of the American be- yond that of any other people who have ever existed, He spoke also of the wisdom of our ancestors in estab- lishing the remarkable political system under which we live—that of confederated sovereign and independent re- fublics, each performing fully all the functions of clvil fixe and forming in itself the hasis of our political being ae a nation. peculiarity in the character of our go- vornment he referred to, particularly asa thing wn- known to any people, as entirely new in itself, ang an tagonistic to and subversive of all previous political sy+- tens.

SPEECH OF THE HON. GEORGE BANCROFT. ‘The President of the day assigns me a few minutes to express to you my sincere delight in being a witness of this great panorama of Southern life and beauty and pa- triotism, and joining with this countless multitude as- sembled in the mountain forest under the shadow of the battle ground, and animated by the spirit of the heroes whose virtnes they are gathered to commemorate, [ came among you not to address you, but to share silently in the scene; to receive instruction from the eloquent lips of your distinguished orator; to enkindle my own Jove of country by the fires of your enthusiasin. No State mag celebrate the gent events of the American revolut- tuon with juster pride than South Carolina. At the very beginning ef the struggle, in 1765, South Carolina was the first to athere toa general Union, and to her it is due that the colonies then met in Congress, When in 1774 9 } government endeavored hy the slow torture of starvation to crash Boston into submission, South Carolina opened’ her granaries of tice and ministered abandantly to its relief, ile the sons of the Scottish Covenanters, in Mecklenburg, were the first to sever the connections with Great Brite and institute raern for themselves, fhe e nreply to the following senti- the immediate harbinger of it reform rose with in the borders of this § , victory gained at the Palmetto Port by Moultrie, was the bright and the morning star which went before the Declaration of Americnn Independence.

It was planned by no Gonapent: it was or- dered by no executive. Al that is best springs from the heart; and the ¢: ition to King’s Mountain sprung from the heart of the common people west of the Alle- ghinice, " GButhusiastic applause.) | They were, cheered no martial music, as your orator has truly observed ; they had no gilded banners, no jumes; they were Southern farmers in their every day dress, come to exercise, though in a most singular manner, their every- day courage and love of country and virtue. er ee, ¢ dangers which they encountered were those om which the bravest might abyink. Do you think I refer to the tact that they attacked an enemy superior in numbers, and still more in the munitions of war, posted on yonder height, which you see {s preciptately steep and bristling with the slaty rock which crops Geko along its sides and summits? No. These things had for them no terror. But their departure they knew was the signal for British emissaries to excite hordes of ruthless savages to burn their homes and murder their wives and childsen, Every breeze from the West iighi seem to bring to their ears the echo of the Indians’ war whoop— the dying groans of those they loved best. ‘This was tho terrible fear which they had to cast under foot. Let us ees then, that the snecess of the men engaged at King’s Mountain was, ay they expressed it, ‘complete awich.” The dring was as heavy as could becouceived numbery engaged; the dislodging cf the enemy from their advantageous situation was equal to driv- ing men from strong breastworke; the vigor of their re- sistance ia proved by their holding ont till every third man among “them was. wounded or slain; and of all the British force which was to have formed the central poiat of British power in the back country, and which Ferguson had commended to Cornwallis for’ its courage and ability, not more than twenty, perhaps not even ce, of the suxvivors escaped captivity, To finish the picture of this battle, the conse- ences of the victory must be called to mind. It struck fear into the tories, and checked the concerted system of house burning and domestic can which was filling Carolina with the deadliest horrors of civil war; it was “the tarning point” of victory, which cheered on Sum- ter and Colone! Washington and Morgan to their suc- cesses, and enabled Greene to collect an a:my; it was the “fatal” blow which utterly disconcerted the plans of Cornwallis, and forced him into that change of policy which had its end at Yorktown. The men of that day fought not for Carolina, not for the South—they fought for America and for humanity, and the ultimate ellects of their heroism cannot yet be measured. (Applause.) The States are bound together by commerce, and dove-talled by canals and rivers and railroads; but the recol lection of the glorious actions of our fathers speaks to the heari, and makes a feel more ‘than all - rest that we are one people. (Tremendous applause. Let the battle ground before “ait left no ar pei- vate property. Let it be made the inheritance of the people—that is, of all who are heirs to the benefits that were gained on the day which we commemorate. (Ap- Plause.) Let a monument rise upon its peak as a memo- rial of the heroism of our fathers—as an evidenee of the Piety of their sons. The deeds that were there med bid us ever renew our love of country. Let the passion for freedom flow forth anially like the fountains thi‘ gush in crystal purity from your hill sides—let the Union stand like your own mountains, which the geologists tell us Pete the oldest and firmest in the world.

My exeuse must be this crutch and these ay hairs; but my heart ‘’—and, as he placed his hand on his heart, his emotion became #o great that he could not utter another word. The vast audience were deeply moved, and many could not restrain their tears, At the close of the speaking, t being now about 3 o'clock, the people dispersed from about the stand, and assembled round the tables or in their tents, where they finished the proceedings of the day with dinner, This closed the celebration: and although many re- mained on the ground till the tollowing day, vot the greater proj were on their way home that night. As a celebration, it me of the most successful that has ever taken place in thie country, either North or South, ond was charne- terized throughout with the most perfect order and deco- rom, We trust that this is not the last celebration of the kind, and hope that the South will remember that she has other great victories to commemorate as well ax the battle of King’s Mountain, We cannot pay too mach respect and honor to those to whose bravery and self- sacrificing patriotism we owe ali the freedom we this day possess.

Cumberland Coal has fallen back to the starting point. The inflation was short lived, and those satisfied witha small profit secured it. Erie was active but heavy. Large sales were made between the boards by parties known to be large hold- ers. There isan immense amount of this stock in the hands of speculators. Reading was the only stock which sustained itself, Two or three small Jote of Galena and Chicago were sold this morning at prices ranging from 12234 to 123 per cent. There is very little of this stock in the market, and we doubt if an advance of five per cent woutd bring out much. Dlinois Central Bonds old freely to-day at yesterday’s prices. State stocks were again active. Sales to some extent of Missouri 6’s were made at the decline, but before the close prices improved.

Our advices are by telegraph from Halifax, and therefore brief. The most important item of news is the advance in the rate of in- terest by the Bank of England. This is a significant movement, and is full of meaning. It points to # con- traction in the money market, which is likely before the apse of many months, to lead to the most serious conse- quences. The decline in Consols shows the first effect of the measure. Our despatches say nothing about the movements in bullion, but the probability is that the Dank has lost largely again, and tears a continued drain. The decline in cotton is another unfavorable feature. Breadstufls are without change. Quotations for Ameri- can stocks merely nominal; no sales.
