It has lraen ascertained that, the Old Testa ment was written with 5,012 words, that Milton used only 8,(MM) words for the making of his poems, and that Slinks pearo employed only 15,000.

North Carolina claims not only that a jxirtion of her people adopted the first declaration of independence of Great Britain, over a year lraforc the famous declaration of the colonial congress, hut that the first victorious fight of the revo lution was fought ami won by North Carolinians on North Carolina soil. This was the battle of Moore’s creek, fought on the 27th of February, 177(1. The royal forces engaged in this battle were mostly Scotch Highlanders who hail set tled in North Carolina, ami who had for their leaders chieftains who fought in the bloody battle of Culloden. They were commissioned by Jonah Martin, the royal governor of North Carolina, and directed to put down the “rebels nnd traitors" who had raised the standard of revolt. They numbered about 1,600, while the whigs numbered 1,000. The tones were utterly routed. In 18/>7 the anniversary of this battle was celebrated. In 1850 a monument was erected; and this year the centennial was celebrated withnpjiro- printe ceremonies. LATEST NEWS. NOI'TM ANII WIST.
