Mil. l'llKslllKN r AMI FltlKNIlS lit NORTH CAROLINA:—I aui profound-ly grateful fur the respect anil courtesy shown to me, an humble citizen of Tennessee, to he request eil to take ii part with you on this oeeuion in commemorating the deed! of heroism performed hy our revolutionary fathers; of North Car-olina. When mure than three score years ago I first stood upon this historic spot anil hehehl the devas tation which seemed to environ these grounds, little iliil 1 think that 1 would lie standing here to-day, after the lapse of so many years, in the presence of such a large ami intelligent assemblage of the gallant sonB and lovely daugh-ters of the old North State as 1 see before tnc on this occasion. I ex-perience a sense of gladness to once more stand upon my nativo heath and behold the rivulets and rills and everlasting hills that were ince so familiar and charming to my youthful gaze. Long years of ice from my native state have not detracted their loveliness to me, but I -Iill revere tl.em with an ar-dent admiration which 1 have not the Mow of eloquence or gift of lan-guage to express. 1 am delighted once more to lie at inv old home and to meet again a few of my old-time friends, ltut a seiioat inn of sadness steals over my heart when 1 realize that many, a great many, of my youthful com-rades and friends, with whom I as-sociated long years ago, have long since departed from the walks of men, and the place that knew them then knows them no more forever. It was here in this immediate neigh-borhood my eyes first beheld the light; it was here within the pre oineti of old Guilford that I was reared , it was here in my boyhood dnvs I rambled through fields and rests with youthful hope and bouyancy, and my ears first caught the murmuring of the softly-sing-ing breezes as they gently swept through the stately pines of my na-tive land . it was here my young heart was first imbued with the en-nobling impulses of liberty and pa-triotism -hicii i|is||iri,'i,| iiut->y;rfg .if our colonial fathers to deeds of valor. it was here that I first learn-ed of the mighty struggle and sore privations our illustrious ancestors endured in their heroic elforts to bequeath to us the priceless lierit-age of liberty; and it wae here that 1 formed associations and ties of friend-hip and love that have followed and clung to mo through all these long years of my life. We meet here today, my fellow countrymen, from every depart-ment of life; the artisan from his shop, the merchant from his count-ing room, the lawyer from his office, and the farmer from hiB fields. Here witli our children and old friends and neighbors to live nr.T the past, review the struggles | of the early history of our country, and to recount the acts of valor of our fathers in throwing off the yoke of British oppression and tyranny in their great efforts for independence. We have met here not only to honor the memory of the valiant dead who achieved our liberty, but in so doing to teach our children that the only true and genuine patriotism is in honoring the dead and stimulating a love of home and country. The patriotic-citizen of every nationality loves his country. We, as Americans, love our country because it was purchased with the life-blood of our ancestors. We love our coun-try for its beautiful rivers and lovely landscapes. fur its charm-ing hills and valleys, for its tow-ering and majestic mountains, whose cloud capped peaks kiss the skies and stand as sentinels upon the watch tower of liberty ; we love our country because it is the "land of the free and home of the brave;" and because it is here in America we have the right under the laws of our country to worship our Cre-ator according to the dictates of our own consciences and none dare molest or make us afraid. In that spirit of patriotic senti-ment and love of country, we have met here on this occasion to lay i vent that dreaded plant the homage of grateful hearts upon I ■ 1\ b _ hl.i- l * B. ■ J 1 .tea a aw a. ■ . aM • the tombs and to the memory of those who were willing to sacrifice their lives upon the altars of liber-ty that we might live under the best government the world ever •aw. Let us, then, bathe these monuments erected here tn com-memorate their daring deeds, not in tears ol regret and sorrow, hut with tears of sincere love and af-fection. Mowing from warm and grateful hearts. In 1780 Charleston was captured by Sir Henry Clinton and occupied by the British. The American army during that year met with repeated reverses and South Caro-lina was in full possession of the enemy. Lord Cornwallis had sub-jugated the entire country from the Florida coast to North Caroli-na. He had marched through and over-run the country from Charles-ton to Charlotte, where he estab-lished headquarters, and from which point he contemplated a vig-orous and aggressive campaign against the people of North Caro-lina who wore disloyal to the crown of England. He anticipated an easy conquest, imagining, no doubt, that his fame as a victor had preceded his advent into North Carolina and that the people would submit without much resistance. In this he was sadly mistaken, as the sequel will show. To protect the loft wing of his army he had sent Major Ferguson in command of a large force of provincial soldiers and Tories to the counties in North Carolina west of charlotte, with instructions to plunder and subjugate the peo-ple of that section. While Corn wallis was engaged in lighting Hor-nets in and around Charlotte ami striving with might anil main to break up their nest. Ferguson was laying waste the country and hunt-ing for the over mountain men of North Carolina, who, however, he found too soon for his good. For the purpose of intimidating them he liberated a prisoner (Samuel Phillips ) whom he ordered to go to the -over-mountain" men in the W'autauga settlement, then in North Carolina but niw in East Tennessee, with a message that if they did not desist from their op-position to the British arms he would march his men over the mountains, hang their leaders and lay their country waste with lire and sword. This threat only stim-ulated these brave and hardy moun-tain- men to more energetic and de-termined action. Couriers were at once sent, in great haste, to notify the settlements on both sides of the mountains in North Carolina and South-Western Virginia of the impending danger and disaster threatened them, and to rendez-vous immediately at the Sycamore Shoals on tho W'autauga. The time for prompt action was at hand. A council of war was held on the bankB of the W'autauga on the '25th day of September. 17S0. "That council of war," says Col. March-banks, "was an exhibition of the most wonderful courage possible to the hearts of men. But men born under the bright skies, in the pure air and in sight of the superb mountains of Virginia and North Carolina, were not of that materiaj that would quietly become serf,, and slaves. Ferguson was laying waste the country and pressing towards reinforcement. H'.niunt be whipped and expelled fr.,',m the country, or the people aga;n would be forced to flee from thc[r homes. This much-desired end could only be accomplished by tjresome, ex-haustive marches." While Scvier, Shelby, Campbell ai„i McDowell wen- making all possible speed to "rta'iie FergBfiOSJbld his provin-cial allies, they were joined on the way by other forcesunder the com-mands of Winston, Cleveland and Others, until they had a number of men nearly equal to those under Ferguson, and tne exultant shout of welcome was heard echoing among the mountains of old North Carolina and carrying glad tidings down the valley of the Catawbn at this augmentation of a band of .8 brave and determined patriots as the world ever saw. But these forced marches brought the Ameri-cans up to the British and Tories at King's Mountain, where Fergu-son had taken refuge, to escape, if possible, tbe vengeance of these patriotic men of Virginia and North Carolina. In his seemingly secure and impregnable position on the heights of King's Mountain, Ferguson irreverently proclaimed that "Cod Almighty and all the rebels out of hell could not dis-lodge him." But these noble he-roes undauntedly bearded the lion in his lai on the 7th day of Octo-ber, 1780. Those mountain heights' were stormed, and after fifty minutes of the most hotly contested battle of the revolutionary war, Ferguson and his whole command were either killed or captured. "That moun-tain, deep in the bosom of the for-est, was that day baptized with lire and blood, and then and there dedicated as a monument to the prowess, bravery and voluntary martyrdom of as great men as his-tory has ever known." "That memorable victory," Jefferson de-clared, "was the joyful annuncia-tion of the turn 'if the success which terminated the revolutionary war with tlie seal of independence." Judge Schenck, in iiis history of that battle, says "North Carolina may glory in this decisive and splendid victory, which relieved her from further invasion of her western borders. Her sons had originated the campaign, her money equipped its soldiers;, her eons con-stituted two-thirds of its army, and most of its leaders were her citizens." It wns here on that memorable day (flat those invinci-ble heroes—Campfiell, Sevier, Shel-by, McDowell, Winston, Cleveland, Lacey, Williams and Hambright— carved their names with swords of steel in undying fame upon King's Mountain's granite heights. The success of the North Carolina mountaineers at the battle of King's Mountain was the silver lining to the dark cloud of adversity which had so long hung like a pall over the destinies of the struggling col-onies. The bright rays of the sun-beams of hope and final success shone through the rifts of the cloud and the victors were encour-aged to renewed action and deter-mination in driving the enemy from thoir country. The result of this battle was so unexpected and surprising to Lord Cornwallis that he was panic stricken al the news of the destruc-tion of hie left wing. His army was left exposed to sudden attack, and thinking "discretion was the bettor part of valor," he immedi-ately heat a hasty retreat to South Carolina, where he established headquarters at Winnsboro, and where he imagined he would be Bafe. for the time being, from the exasperating attacks of the Meck-lenburg HornetB. We are told that his lordship was not the sole arbi-ter of his own destiny, it was being "rough hewn" by the up country men, who were gathering again to disturb his winter's repose, where he fancied himself secure, and forced him a second time to flee from their vengeance. He had aroused the spirit of tbe hardy men of the mountains who never waited for weather or the rules of warfare as they were taught in books, but relied on their expertness in the use of the deadly Deckard rifle, with which they were armed; men who had discovered their strength, and knowing that "thrice armed is he who hath his quarrel just," were eager to encounter the British reg ulars, now that tiny had so com-pletely wiped out Ferguson and his provincials. In his seeming securi-ty CornwalliB hoped to rest and re-cruit hie army and be ready to re-new his march into North Carolina in the spring. At this time we find him again invading North Carolina, and Gen. Nathaniel Greene confronting him and watch-ing his movements. It was here on this battlefield of old Guilford that Gen. Greene and Lord Corn-wallis met in conflict of arms on the 15th day of March, 1781, and the tide of battle, in its results, turned in favor of the Americans. After this sanguinary conflict, those grounds were sadly neglected and were left to grow up in a wil This rich inheritance of land and : THE APPLB EXPORT TRADE country having descended to us as legacy from our revolutionary fathers, let us, as their children, cherish and honor their memory, maintain and support tbe institu-tions of our government, and al-ways stand ready to defend the flag of our country against the en-croachment of every foe. A Noted American Family. Justice Stephen J. Field, one of the oldest occupants of the supreme bench of the United Slates and a member of one of the most distin-guished families in America, is ly-ing in a critical condition at his home in California. In common with his three broth-ers, all of whom became men of prominence. Justice Field derived from his New England ancestors a vigorous intellect, together with a strong, robust constitution. David Dudley Field, the eldest of these brothers, died a short time ago at the advanced age of ninety-one years. He adopted the law as his profession, and early in life be-came distinguished for his rare gifts. A fluent writer, as well as a deep thinker, he has left behind him a number of valuable contri-butions to the literature of the law. Stephen J. Field, the next mem-ber of this celebrated group, emu-lated the examplo of his eldest brother in choosing the legal pro-fession. His brilliant success at the bar is emphasized by the various honors which he has received from time to time and which have cul-minated in the judicial ermine of the supreme court. But the most illustrious mem-ber of the family was Cyrus W. Field, the author of the Atlantic cable. Without a collegiate educa-tion, in which respect he differed from his brothers, he started out in life with the idea of becoming a successful business man. Not only did he realize his ambition in the measure of a handsome fortune, but also in the success of an under-taking which has been a blessing to mankind. Dr. Henry M. Field, the youngest of the four brothers, is a distin-guished Presbyterian divine and traveler. As the editor of The New York Evangelist, his writings are eagerly devoured by thousands of readers. With gifts no less bril-liant than those of his brothers, he has achieved a success in life equal-ly a~ pronounced. Though many house! olds in America are noted for the part which they have taken in the public life of this country, no one is more Transatlantic Crops Soant and the American Product Plentiful. The apple crops abroad will be unusually small this year, accord-ing to detailed advices received from London yesterday by Otto G. Meyer & Co., of Bridge and White-hall street. Choice, sound Ameri can apples, especially of bright color, will, therefore, be in more than ordinarily active demand in the London, Liverpool and Glas-gow markets, where they have long been in great and growing favor on account of their superiority over the European product. This is in-dicative of a largely increased ex-port trade from this country, but Josiah Rich, Meyer & Co.'s veteran expert and manager, who has care-fully investigated the subject, says that the American crop is so abund-ant that apples will be abnormally cheap this year, despite their pros peetive heavy exportations. The aggregate apple crop of the United States and Canada last year was estimated to be from 57,000,. 000 to 60,000,000 barrels, or from 7,000,000 to 10,000,000 barrels more than were ever produced in any previous year. This year's crop, it is expected, will fully equal and probably exceed that of last year, when the consumption of apples was materially augmented by the absence of Florida oranges from the market.—New York Tribune.

But tho .Venerable President of the Gitffford Battle Ground Company, '.he Hon. David Schenck, whose pa-triotic spirit and love of State pride, and whose generous impulses and practical mind conceived the idea of bringing order out of chaos, stretched forth his strong arm to rescue from oblivion and the de-vastating hand of time, these now beautiful grounds until this cher-ished and historic spot presents all the loveliness and beauty of a well-kept park. To him and his co-workers of the Battle Ground Com-pany belong the honor of the great transformation these grounds now present, to which we and our chil-dren can come and hold our annual celebrations and keep alive the fire of patriotiBm within our hearts. Let these grounds, then, be our Mecca, to whose sacred and hal-lowed precincts we can come and lay the tributes of our hearts Elect a Silver House. upon the altars erected here to the honor and memory of the noble and patriotic dead. Our revolutionary fathers build-ed wiser than they knew. It was an experiment with them in estab-lishing a republican form of gov-ernment. The complete victory of the Americans (two thirds of whom were North Carolinians) at the battle of King's Mountain, and the severe ami disastrous chastisement of the British and Hessians by Greene at Guilford Court House, made the successful establishment of our government assured. Our nation has grown and expanded in wealth and power until it stands second to none on the globe. Its influence is felt and respected by the crowned heads and potentates throughout all the world. "The victories of King's Moun-tain and Guilford Court House, purchased in blood," says a dis-tinguished Bon of Tennessee, "be-queathed to us an estate that is sun-lit and rosy-bowered. A coun-try around which God has hung a vasl expanse of canvass, on which He has painted a gorgeous scheme of coloring; a country where He has frescoed the skies, carpeted meadows, spread beautiful lakes and started laughing rivers to seek the seas; a country as rich as Italy in climate and scenery; a country rich in soil, rich in min-erals and each day gem-studded and bedecked with thousands of queenly daughters, who are more graceful and charming than the floral emblem of any land or ooun-try ; a country guided and admin-istered, cultivated and owned, by as brave, manly and gentle sons as ever honored noble sires. Yes, eons who in life and on fields of blood and carnage have won meeds of praise that have added fresh laurels to the brows of our illus-trious fathers.'- In order to preserve the regulari-ty of their organizations, the Dem-ocratic machines of several gold states are likely to give nominal support to Biyan and Sewall while running gold candidates for Con gress. Their support of Bryan and Sewall will be in large degree mere lip service, the real work being done for the state officers and con-gressmen. In view of the probable election of Mr. Bryan to the Presi-dency, the gold men will leave noth-ing undone to secure control of the House of Representatives in order that they may effectually block the passage of free coinage measures or of any other measure contrary to their purposes. We urge upon earnest men everywhere that this danger be guarded against, and that unity of action upon congress-men, as well as with regard to President, be secured wherever pos-sible. There are dozens of dis-tricts in the middle states which will return bimetallists if the friends of financial reform have the good sense to get together, but from which goldbugs will be sent by a minority if there is division among free coinage men. Wisdom and patriotism this fall will put a free coinage President in the White House and a free coinage majority in both houses of Congress. Let there be a clean sweep.— Exchange. Elections will be held in six States before the grand battle of ballots is joined on Tuesday, No-vember 3. These States and the order in which they will vote are as follows: Alabama will elect a full State ticket in August; Vermont, Arkansas, and Maine will vote for a Governor September 1, 7 and 14, respectively; Florida and Georgia vote for Governor in October, and then there will be a lull until No-vember. There seems to be no doubt that Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Florida will go Demo-cratic, while it is equally safe to predict that Vermont and Maine will go Republican, probably by increased majorities. Louisiana, Rhode island and Oregon have al ready held elections this year. Louisiana went Democratic by a decreased majority; Rhode Island increased its Republican majority, while the vote on the congressional ticket in Oregon was very close, tiie two Republicans getting the re turns by an aggregate plurality of only six or seven hundred. At tbe November election, beside the pres-idential electors. Governors will be chosen in the following States: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minne seta, Montana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. For the first time Utah will vote as a Slate, and the electoral vote of the United States Is increased to 147, making the number necessary to a cboic9 in the electoral college '224. ■ml «cn< . il»* i dbcassd |i.m,iii. how iluv i.. ivcrcd h...lil., chciilul ,|.i!il- an.I .■ 1 apfwlilc.

A special attach-ment is put on every locomotive, by which the ringing is done by steam power, which is controlled by the engineer with a special throttle. The system was first used hy the Chicago, Rurlington and quincy road some years ago and was found to work very satis factorily. The object of the con-tinuous ringing of the hell is to leave no room for the statement to be made when any one is killed at a railroad crossing, that the warn-signal was not given.

NORTH CAROLINA:—I aui profound-ly
grateful fur the respect anil
courtesy shown to me, an humble
citizen of Tennessee, to he request
eil to take ii part with you on this
oeeuion in commemorating the
deed! of heroism performed hy our
revolutionary fathers; of North Car-olina.
When mure than three score
years ago I first stood upon this
historic spot anil hehehl the devas
tation which seemed to environ
these grounds, little iliil 1 think
that 1 would lie standing here to-day,
after the lapse of so many
years, in the presence of such a
large ami intelligent assemblage of
the gallant sonB and lovely daugh-ters
of the old North State as 1 see
before tnc on this occasion. I ex-perience
a sense of gladness to
once more stand upon my nativo
heath and behold the rivulets and
rills and everlasting hills that were
ince so familiar and charming to
my youthful gaze. Long years of
ice from my native state have
not detracted their loveliness to me,
but I -Iill revere tl.em with an ar-dent
admiration which 1 have not
the Mow of eloquence or gift of lan-guage
to express.
1 am delighted once more to lie
at inv old home and to meet again
a few of my old-time friends, ltut
a seiioat inn of sadness steals over
my heart when 1 realize that many,
a great many, of my youthful com-rades
and friends, with whom I as-sociated
long years ago, have long
since departed from the walks of
men, and the place that knew them
then knows them no more forever.
It was here in this immediate neigh-borhood
my eyes first beheld the
light; it was here within the pre
oineti of old Guilford that I was
reared , it was here in my boyhood
dnvs I rambled through fields and
rests with youthful hope and
bouyancy, and my ears first caught
the murmuring of the softly-sing-ing
breezes as they gently swept
through the stately pines of my na-tive
land . it was here my young
heart was first imbued with the en-nobling
impulses of liberty and pa-triotism
-hicii i|is||iri,'i,| iiut->y;rfg
.if our colonial fathers to deeds of
valor. it was here that I first learn-ed
of the mighty struggle and sore
privations our illustrious ancestors
endured in their heroic elforts to
bequeath to us the priceless lierit-age
of liberty; and it wae here
that 1 formed associations and ties
of friend-hip and love that have
followed and clung to mo through
all these long years of my life.
We meet here today, my fellow
countrymen, from every depart-ment
of life; the artisan from his
shop, the merchant from his count-ing
room, the lawyer from his
office, and the farmer from hiB
fields. Here witli our children and
old friends and neighbors to live
nr.T the past, review the struggles
| of the early history of our country,
and to recount the acts of valor of
our fathers in throwing off the
yoke of British oppression and
tyranny in their great efforts for
independence. We have met here
not only to honor the memory of
the valiant dead who achieved our
liberty, but in so doing to teach
our children that the only true and
genuine patriotism is in honoring
the dead and stimulating a love of
home and country. The patriotic-citizen
of every nationality loves
his country. We, as Americans,
love our country because it was
purchased with the life-blood of
our ancestors. We love our coun-try
for its beautiful rivers and
lovely landscapes. fur its charm-ing
hills and valleys, for its tow-ering
and majestic mountains,
whose cloud capped peaks kiss the
skies and stand as sentinels upon
the watch tower of liberty ; we love
our country because it is the "land
of the free and home of the brave;"
and because it is here in America
we have the right under the laws
of our country to worship our Cre-ator
according to the dictates of
our own consciences and none dare
molest or make us afraid.
In that spirit of patriotic senti-ment
and love of country, we have
met here on this occasion to lay
i vent that dreaded plant
the homage of grateful hearts upon
I ■ 1\ b _ hl.i- l * B. ■ J 1 .tea a aw a. ■ . aM • the tombs and to the memory of
those who were willing to sacrifice
their lives upon the altars of liber-ty
that we might live under the
best government the world ever
•aw. Let us, then, bathe these
monuments erected here tn com-memorate
their daring deeds, not
in tears ol regret and sorrow, hut
with tears of sincere love and af-fection.
Mowing from warm and
grateful hearts.
In 1780 Charleston was captured
by Sir Henry Clinton and occupied
by the British. The American
army during that year met with
repeated reverses and South Caro-lina
was in full possession of the
enemy. Lord Cornwallis had sub-jugated
the entire country from
the Florida coast to North Caroli-na.
He had marched through and
over-run the country from Charles-ton
to Charlotte, where he estab-lished
headquarters, and from
which point he contemplated a vig-orous
and aggressive campaign
against the people of North Caro-lina
who wore disloyal to the crown
of England.
He anticipated an easy conquest,
imagining, no doubt, that his fame
as a victor had preceded his advent
into North Carolina and that the
people would submit without much
resistance. In this he was sadly
mistaken, as the sequel will show.
To protect the loft wing of his
army he had sent Major Ferguson
in command of a large force of
provincial soldiers and Tories to
the counties in North Carolina
west of charlotte, with instructions
to plunder and subjugate the peo-ple
of that section. While Corn
wallis was engaged in lighting Hor-nets
in and around Charlotte ami
striving with might anil main to
break up their nest. Ferguson was
laying waste the country and hunt-ing
for the over mountain men of
North Carolina, who, however, he
found too soon for his good. For
the purpose of intimidating them
he liberated a prisoner (Samuel
Phillips ) whom he ordered to go to
the -over-mountain" men in the
W'autauga settlement, then in
North Carolina but niw in East
Tennessee, with a message that if
they did not desist from their op-position
to the British arms he
would march his men over the
mountains, hang their leaders and
lay their country waste with lire
and sword. This threat only stim-ulated
these brave and hardy moun-tain-
men to more energetic and de-termined
action. Couriers were at
once sent, in great haste, to notify
the settlements on both sides of
the mountains in North Carolina
and South-Western Virginia of the
impending danger and disaster
threatened them, and to rendez-vous
immediately at the Sycamore
Shoals on tho W'autauga. The time
for prompt action was at hand. A
council of war was held on the
bankB of the W'autauga on the '25th
day of September. 17S0. "That
council of war" says Col. March-banks,
"was an exhibition of the
most wonderful courage possible to
the hearts of men. But men born
under the bright skies, in the pure
air and in sight of the superb
mountains of Virginia and North
Carolina, were not of that materiaj
that would quietly become serf,,
and slaves. Ferguson was laying
waste the country and pressing
towards reinforcement. H'.niunt
be whipped and expelled fr.,',m the
country, or the people aga;n would
be forced to flee from thc[r homes.
This much-desired end could only
be accomplished by tjresome, ex-haustive
marches." While Scvier,
Shelby, Campbell ai„i McDowell
wen- making all possible speed to
"rta'iie FergBfiOSJbld his provin-cial
allies, they were joined on the
way by other forcesunder the com-mands
of Winston, Cleveland and
Others, until they had a number of
men nearly equal to those under
Ferguson, and tne exultant shout
of welcome was heard echoing
among the mountains of old North
Carolina and carrying glad tidings
down the valley of the Catawbn at
this augmentation of a band of .8
brave and determined patriots as
the world ever saw. But these
forced marches brought the Ameri-cans
up to the British and Tories
at King's Mountain, where Fergu-son
had taken refuge, to escape, if
possible, tbe vengeance of these
patriotic men of Virginia and
North Carolina. In his seemingly
secure and impregnable position on
the heights of King's Mountain,
Ferguson irreverently proclaimed
that "Cod Almighty and all the
rebels out of hell could not dis-lodge
him." But these noble he-roes
undauntedly bearded the lion
in his lai on the 7th day of Octo-ber,
1780.
Those mountain heights' were
stormed, and after fifty minutes of
the most hotly contested battle of
the revolutionary war, Ferguson
and his whole command were either
killed or captured. "That moun-tain,
deep in the bosom of the for-est,
was that day baptized with
lire and blood, and then and there
dedicated as a monument to the
prowess, bravery and voluntary
martyrdom of as great men as his-tory
has ever known." "That
memorable victory" Jefferson de-clared,
"was the joyful annuncia-tion
of the turn 'if the success
which terminated the revolutionary
war with tlie seal of independence."
Judge Schenck, in iiis history of
that battle, says "North Carolina
may glory in this decisive and
splendid victory, which relieved
her from further invasion of her
western borders. Her sons had
originated the campaign, her money
equipped its soldiers;, her eons con-stituted
two-thirds of its army,
and most of its leaders were her
citizens." It wns here on that
memorable day (flat those invinci-ble
heroes—Campfiell, Sevier, Shel-by,
McDowell, Winston, Cleveland,
Lacey, Williams and Hambright—
carved their names with swords of
steel in undying fame upon King's
Mountain's granite heights. The
success of the North Carolina
mountaineers at the battle of King's
Mountain was the silver lining to
the dark cloud of adversity which
had so long hung like a pall over
the destinies of the struggling col-onies.
The bright rays of the sun-beams
of hope and final success
shone through the rifts of the
cloud and the victors were encour-aged
to renewed action and deter-mination
in driving the enemy
from thoir country.
The result of this battle was so
unexpected and surprising to Lord
Cornwallis that he was panic
stricken al the news of the destruc-tion
of hie left wing. His army
was left exposed to sudden attack,
and thinking "discretion was the
bettor part of valor" he immedi-ately
heat a hasty retreat to South
Carolina, where he established
headquarters at Winnsboro, and
where he imagined he would be
Bafe. for the time being, from the
exasperating attacks of the Meck-lenburg
HornetB. We are told that
his lordship was not the sole arbi-ter
of his own destiny, it was being
"rough hewn" by the up country
men, who were gathering again to
disturb his winter's repose, where
he fancied himself secure, and
forced him a second time to flee
from their vengeance. He had
aroused the spirit of tbe hardy men
of the mountains who never waited
for weather or the rules of warfare
as they were taught in books, but
relied on their expertness in the
use of the deadly Deckard rifle,
with which they were armed; men
who had discovered their strength,
and knowing that "thrice armed is
he who hath his quarrel just" were
eager to encounter the British reg
ulars, now that tiny had so com-pletely
wiped out Ferguson and his
provincials. In his seeming securi-ty
CornwalliB hoped to rest and re-cruit
hie army and be ready to re-new
his march into North Carolina
in the spring. At this time we
find him again invading North
Carolina, and Gen. Nathaniel
Greene confronting him and watch-ing
his movements. It was here
on this battlefield of old Guilford
that Gen. Greene and Lord Corn-wallis
met in conflict of arms on
the 15th day of March, 1781, and
the tide of battle, in its results,
turned in favor of the Americans.
After this sanguinary conflict,
those grounds were sadly neglected
and were left to grow up in a wil

A Noted American Family.
Justice Stephen J. Field, one of
the oldest occupants of the supreme
bench of the United Slates and a
member of one of the most distin-guished
families in America, is ly-ing
in a critical condition at his
home in California.
In common with his three broth-ers,
all of whom became men of
prominence. Justice Field derived
from his New England ancestors a
vigorous intellect, together with a
strong, robust constitution.
David Dudley Field, the eldest of
these brothers, died a short time
ago at the advanced age of ninety-one
years. He adopted the law as
his profession, and early in life be-came
distinguished for his rare
gifts. A fluent writer, as well as a
deep thinker, he has left behind
him a number of valuable contri-butions
to the literature of the law.
Stephen J. Field, the next mem-ber
of this celebrated group, emu-lated
the examplo of his eldest
brother in choosing the legal pro-fession.
His brilliant success at
the bar is emphasized by the various
honors which he has received from
time to time and which have cul-minated
in the judicial ermine of
the supreme court.
But the most illustrious mem-ber
of the family was Cyrus W.
Field, the author of the Atlantic
cable. Without a collegiate educa-tion,
in which respect he differed
from his brothers, he started out in
life with the idea of becoming a
successful business man. Not only
did he realize his ambition in the
measure of a handsome fortune,
but also in the success of an under-taking
which has been a blessing
to mankind.
Dr. Henry M. Field, the youngest
of the four brothers, is a distin-guished
Presbyterian divine and
traveler. As the editor of The
New York Evangelist, his writings
are eagerly devoured by thousands
of readers. With gifts no less bril-liant
than those of his brothers, he
has achieved a success in life equal-ly
a~ pronounced.
Though many house! olds in
America are noted for the part
which they have taken in the public
life of this country, no one is more
Transatlantic Crops Soant and the
American Product Plentiful.
The apple crops abroad will be
unusually small this year, accord-ing
to detailed advices received
from London yesterday by Otto G.
Meyer & Co., of Bridge and White-hall
street. Choice, sound Ameri
can apples, especially of bright
color, will, therefore, be in more
than ordinarily active demand in
the London, Liverpool and Glas-gow
markets, where they have long
been in great and growing favor on
account of their superiority over
the European product. This is in-dicative
of a largely increased ex-port
trade from this country, but
Josiah Rich, Meyer & Co.'s veteran
expert and manager, who has care-fully
investigated the subject, says
that the American crop is so abund-ant
that apples will be abnormally
cheap this year, despite their pros
peetive heavy exportations.
The aggregate apple crop of the
United States and Canada last year
was estimated to be from 57,000,.
000 to 60,000,000 barrels, or from
7,000,000 to 10,000,000 barrels more
than were ever produced in any
previous year. This year's crop, it
is expected, will fully equal and
probably exceed that of last year,
when the consumption of apples
was materially augmented by the
absence of Florida oranges from
the market.—New York Tribune.
