is told with remarkable impartiality, and due credit is generally given to the American officers when they deserve commendation. In particular, the conduct of Gen. Greene in accepting battle at Guilford, is spoken handsomest terms. He represents ing acted, in every respect, like a ma true military genius. He made all his calcuance without incurring the risk of starvation; for his magazines were two hundred miles off, and he was in the midst of a hostile population. The calculations of Greene were profound, and proved correct. He was very near gaining the victory, and when forced to retire, did so slowly and reluctantly, like a lion that has been drived to gather from defeat all the advantages of victory, while his enemy suffered from victory all the evils of defeat. This is the sum of what Tarlton says about Greene's conduct in accepting the battle of Guilford. He is not so fair in describing the affair of the Cowpens, where he was himself defeated.

Constitutional liberty has departed from that inhospitable region, and seeks her last resting place upon the generous soil of the South. She comes as a fugitive. It is here alone that she finds a home and a country, with the children of Washington and Jefferson, the home of Marion and Sumter and Greene. She has been expelled from the North.-- She could no longer dwell where the Higher Law proscribed the Constitution, the Bible, and God himself; where public virtue had sickened, languished and died; where honor, truth, faith, those plants of tender growth, had been eradicated from an ungenerous soil; where disinterestedness of aim and motive had become a sentiment unknown; where all education and language was cant, and indirection was the universal principle of conduct; where honesty f
