MCST 5D IT A Traveller. QUIT. IVZAIU02T & THS TORIES. From the Angelica Republican. The following anecdote is taken from Col. Harry's life life of Gen. Marion It is well known that Gen. Marion was very active in the revolutionary war, in routing and destroying the tones who infested the Carolinas in those days. After an achievement of this kind, Colonel Harry observes We had just got ourselves well braced up again by rest and high feeding, among the noble whigs of IVacaman, when a likely young fellow at half speed drove up one morning to the house and asked for General Marion. Marion went to the door. ik Well, my son, w hat do you want with me?" "Why, Sir General," replied the youth, "daddy sent me down to let you know as how there is to be a mighty gathering of the tories in our parts tomorrow night." "Aye, indeed ! and pray whereabouts, Ely son, may your parts be ?" "Heigh, Sir General ! don't you know where our parts is? I thought every body knowed where daddy lived." "No, my son, I don't; but I have a notion he lives somewhere on Pedee; parhaps a good way up." "Yes, by jing, does he live a good way up! a matter of seventy miles; clean away up there, upon little Pedee." "Very well, my ?on, I thank your daddy, and you too. for letting me know it, and I believe I must try to meet the tories there." "O la, Sir General, try to meet 'em indeed! yes, to be sure! Dear me, sir, hearts-alive, that you must, Sir General! for daddy says as how he is quite gartin if you'll be there to-morrow night, you may make a proper smash among the tories; for they'll be there thick and three fold . They have heard, so they say, of your doings, and are go ing to hdd this great meeting on pur pose to come all the way down here af ter you." "After me?" "Yes, indeed are they, sir General, and you had better keep a sharp lookout, I tell you now; for they have just been down to the British, there at Georgetown, and brought a matter of two wagon loads of guns great big English muskets! I can turn my thumb in them easy enough. And besides them plaguy guns, they have got a tarnot nation sight of pistols! and bayonets! and swords! and saddles! and bridles! and the dear knows what else beside?. So they are in a mighty good fix, yoa may depend, tir General." "Well, perhaps you and 1 may have some of these fine things to morrow night. What say you to that, my sou ?" "By jings, I should like it proper well. But, to be sure, now sir General, you look like a mighty small man to fight them great big tories there, on Pedee. But daddy sais as how the heart is all: and he says, too, that though you are but a little man, you have a monstrous great heart." Marion smiled, and went out among his men, to whom he related the boy's errand; and desired them to question him so that there might be no trick in the matter. But every scruple ot that Eortwas quickly removed; for several of our party were well acquainted with the lad's father, and knew him to be an excellent whig. Having put ur fire-arms in pnme order for an attack, we mounted; 'and giving our friends three cheers, dash'd off just as the broad faced moon arose, and by day break ' next morning, had gained a very convenient swamp within two miles of the grand tory rendezvous. To avoid giv ing alarm, we struck into the swamp, and there man and horse lay snug all day. About 11 o'clock Marion sent out a couple of nimble-footed young men to conceal themselves near the main road, and take good heed to what was going on In the evening they returned and brought word that the road had been constantly alive with horsemen, tories they supposed, armed with new guns, and all moving on very gaily towards the place the lad had told us of. Soon as it was dark, we mouuted, and took the track at a sweeping gallop, which by early supper time, brought us in siuht of their fires. Then leaving our horses under a small guard, we advanced quite near them, in the dark, without being discovered j for so little

thought had they of Marioii, that thry had not placed a single sentinel; hut were all hands gathered about the fire, some cooking, some fiddling and dancing, and some playing cards, as we could hear them every uow and then bawling out, "Huzza, nt him again, damn me! aye that's the dandy, my trick begad!" Poor wretches! little did they think how near the fates were grinning around them. Observing that they had three large fires, Marion divided our little party of sixty men into three companies, each opposite to a fire. Then bidding us to take aim, with his pistol he gave the. signal for a general discharge. In a moment the woods were all in a blnze, as by a dash of lightning, accompanied by a tremendous clap of thunder. Down tumbled the dead off bolted

the living. loud screamed the wounded. While far and wide, all over the woods, nothing was to be heard but the running of tories, and the snorting ol wild bounding horses, snapping the snplings. Such a tragic comedy was hard ly ever seen. On running up to their fires, we found we had killed twenty-three, and wounded as many more; thirteen we made prisoners, poor fellows, who had not been grazed by a bullet, but were so frightened that they could not budire a peg. We got eighty-four stand of arms, chiefly English muskets and bayonets; one hundred horses with new saddles, all English too, with a good deal of ammunition and baggage. The consternation of the tories was so great that they never dreampt of carrying off any thing. Even their fiddles and fiddle-bows, and playing cards were all left strewed around the fires. One of the gamblers, (it is a serious truth,) though shot dead , still held the cards hard griped in his hands. Led by cu riosity to inspect this strange sight, a dead gambler, we found that the cards which he held, were ace, duce, and jack. Clubs were trumps. Holding high, low, jac k, and the game, in his own hand; he seemed to be in a fair way to do well. But Marion came down upon him with a trump that spoiled his sport, and nonsuited him for ever.

The census man having inquired the number of females of the different ares, and received the like satisfactory answers, next proceeded to inquire the number of deaf and dumb persons. Mrs.T. Why, there's no deaf persons, excepting my husband, and he ant so deaf as he pretends to be. When any body asks him to take a diink of I rum, if it's only in a whisper, he can hear quick enough.
