REvoLuT1oARy RELIcT.-The Frankfort (Ky.)
Commentator, III describing the celebration of the
National Anniversary at that place, has the follow
inc notice Of the Shelby brass piece, which after
having gone through many vicissitudes, is now
the property of the State of Kentucky:


The dawn was announced by fire from one
Glorious little cannon-we call it glorious because
its history is full OF glory and renown. 1t was
brought to America by General Burgoyne, with
view to subjugate our bold ancestors, but he
was forced to surrender it at atSaratoga and the lit
tie piece talked for liberty during the remainder OF
the war. Peace came, and with it a long rest for
our cannon. But the war Of 1912 again found her
in the servce-she was among the first to speak
to the British on the Canada frontiers. The trai-
tor Hull surrendered her with the military post at
Detroit, and she was compelled to render reluc-
tant services to her old masters. Harrison and
Shelby with the Kentucky volunteers, rescued her
At the Thames, and the President of the United
States made her present to the hero of King S
mountain and he placed her in the custody OF Ken
mcky. Who is there that can take her again!
We apprehend that an attempt would create a
cl,shine Of swords, and cracking of rifles, and a
rallyinr among the hunters of kentucky, the like
or which was never seen before.
