The first War for independence.

--A contemporary observes that we have suffered nothing yet compared with what our fathers suffered in the first war for independence. Then we had the savage Indians at our backs, the tories over our own hearth-stones, and a fair and open enemy in our front. Augusta, Savannah, Charleston, Camden, and "Ninety-Six," were all than British posts, and Georgia and South Carolina were occupied almost entirely for three long and dreary years. Yet, a heroic ancestry rose from our valleys and descended from our hills, trusting in God and resolved to perish rather than survive as slaves, and they drove our conquerors from the soil; and so we can do, even should our land be overrun by vandals.
