Inthe wild Cherokee country he obtained great applause for his bravery; andwhen the Revolution broke out, ho was offered a captains commission, whichhe accepted. He was successful in the recruiting service, early in 1776; andduring the attack on Charleston, in the Summer of that year, ho fought bravelyunder Moultrie, in the Palmeto fort, in the harbor.

est sown in Greece morethan a score of centuries ago. At last Greece, having de- conquest bygenerated, was conquered by the northern State of Macedon, Macedon.half Greek, half barbarian; and Macedon, aided by Greece proper, sub-jugated Asia. This conquest diffused Greek culture and rule very widely,but weakened the Greeks at home. As our great Greek scholar, Professor Jebb, writers, The. Hellenesset the Hellenic stamp on everything which they create. Every elementof their life receives its mature shapefrom themselves, even when the germhas been borrowed; the Hellenes are anoriginal people in the sense that theyeither invent or transform. At a veryearly time they have the political life ofcities, and they never rise from the con-ception of the city to the higher unity ofthe nation. … As the leading commonrwealths grow to maturity, two principlesof government stand out in contrast—oligarchy and democracy. Each is re-presented by a great city round whichthe lesser States are grouped.

Men who are not of Hellenic hload help to diffuse theHellenic language, thought, and manners over a wider field, and the lifeof the modern Greek nation begins. The conquest of Macedonia and Greece by Eome finally destroyedtheir national life, while widely diffusing Greek culture andphilosophy, which greatly influenced th
