Revolution in the Southern States. History, song, and tradition have each done something to perpetuate the recollection of the deeds of one whose name has come to us linked with all that is cruel and rapacious in a war of the most fratricidal character; but no authentic detailed account of his life has up to the present time been made public, and but few of the particulars of his career during the war are generally known. All who have written of DAVID FANNING, the Tory, have assigned him a high rank in the annals of infamy, and none who read his own account of himself and his services will hesitate to admit that he has been i: by merit raised To that bad eminence. The frankness with which he narrates his adventures, and speaks of the cold-blooded murder of his neighbors and fel low-citizens, is only equalled by the self-satisfaction which he exhibits at the close of his address To the Reader, in using the words of the Psalmist as applicable to himself, as the perfect and the upright man. Besides what he has written, the following account of him (principally traditionary) is that which is best authenti cated. David Fanning was born in Johnston county, 1ST. C.
