The inhabitans of the lower p.ut of the District had been in the habit cf driving their cattle into this pail of the
country, for l..e purpose ol grazing, and erected pens in the neighborhood for al:irg and marking them. Hence, the origin cf the iia::it of the battle ground. The field of battle, however, is abou two miles distant from the Cowpens: tut inasmuch as there was r.o oilier or nearer known place in the neighborhood, it was called the "Battle of the The writer of this article was shown, not long since, u ni tp. describing minutely and satisfactorily, the scene of this signal action, and Iheorderand position of the opposing armie.

THE JIOTUER
Round the idea cf one's mother, the
mind of man clings with a fond affection. It is the first deep thought stamp
ed upon our infant hearts, when yet soft and capable of receiving ihe most
proiound impressions, and all the other
feenngs of the world are more or less
in comparison. I do not know
that even in our old age w e do not look back to that feeling as the sweet we
have through life. Our passions and
our w ilfulness may lead us far from the object of our filial love; we learn even
to pain her heart, to oppose her wishes, to violate her commands; we may become wild, headstrong, and angry at
her counsels or opposition; but when
death has stilled her monitory voice,
md nothing but calm memory remains
to recapitulate her virtues and good
deeds, affection, like a flower beaten to the ground by the past storm, raises up
