Legends of the Santee;

Or Marion and His Men

McDonald's Rescue

By G. Chipman

The old man and Marian were soon brought forth, and Hunter, strapped upon a saddle, and his daughter (?)ed upon a palfrey between two stout troopers, (?) the coward set off at a gallop into the wood, (?)ing the remainder to carry out the orders of the captain. And well did they obey him, for of the company gathered at the house that night, but few (?) to tell the tale, and the reddening glow that (?) upon the surrounding darkness and glimmered (?) through nook and dell, until its rays were (?) back by the dashing

waters of the Santee(?) told that the building was fired and was fast (?)ing beneath the efforts of this consuming element of destruction.

The heavy tread (?)corse echoed out upon the air, as a solitary (?) rode along the banks of the river, and took (?) way in the direction of the farm house of Eli(?). He was about twenty-five years of age, was dressed in the uniform

broke upon the forest, far down the stream he saw the lurid sparks, and into the air, and beheld the reddened glow (?) upon the cloud, by the conflagration below. Hastily rising in the stirrup he gazed for (?) upon the scene, and then exclaiming: "My God! it is the (house?) of Hunter! away,

ly cried Ellerslie, as he spuured his horse through the gate and urged him forward in swift pursuit.

Half a dozen men sprang forward to obey, and

the old man was soon released from the horse, but so long had his limbs been confined in one position that he was unable to walk; and his captors, brutally seizing him by the grey hair of his head dragged him forward to an oak tree which grew in the yard, and procuring a rope, prepared to carry into execution the last diabolical order of the bloodthirsty Ellerslie.

In the meantime, the steed which bore the flying Marian, swept rapidly onward for the forest, and soon distanced all save the one upon which was mounted Ellerslie himself, and she soon saw that the speed of his horse was such that she must inevitably be overtaken, yet she plied the whip. and they flew like the wind towards the gloomy wood that loomed up before them. But a hundred yards intervened, when, with a demoniac laugh, he dashed up beside her, and seizing hold of her bridle rein, checked by a powerful effort the gait of her horse; and by the time they had reached the edge of the Black Forest, both riders had come to a halt, he attempted to draw her to him. The excitement of the flight had brought the warm blood to her cheek, but the insult he offered sent it rushing back again, and for a moment she became as pale as marble; then recovering herself she sent one wild, heart-rending shriek through the surrounding wood, and vainly endeavored to shake off his hold.

But that cry of despair which then went from the lips of injured innocence, was heard by ears that thrilled with pangs of mortal agony, as it vibrated upon his senses, and tearing himself from his executioners, Hunter essayed to mount the wall and fly to the rescure of his daughter. But he was rudely held back by arms of iron, and his pleadings fell as upon hearts of marble, until throwing himself upon the earth, the old man groaned in anguish, and heaped maledictions upon the destroyers of happiness and innocence.

But another beside her father heard that fearful shriek, as it went echoing along the forest, and oh. the thrill of horror that took possession of his soul, as he heard and recognized the voice of his bethrothed in that last scream of despair. The foam flew in drops from the bits of Selim. and as if conscious of the urgency of the occasion he flew rather than ran through the wood, until both he and his rider seemed as spirits flying upon the air rather than occupants of earth. From the top of that slope McDonald gazes down the road, and beholds Marian struggling in the arms of Ellerslie, who has dismounted and is endeavoring to drag her from her steed. He arrises aloft in his stirrups—his broad claymore glitters in the beams of the rising sun—and his powerful voice rings out like a thunder peal upon the. morning air, as he shouts aloud his well known war cry upon the breeze,

"Death to the tories! Marian, I come!" The countenance of Ellerslie paled as he heard the terrible sound, and releasing the form of Marian he sprang to his horse, but as he arose in his stirrups his head was clove to the chin by a descending blow from McDonald's claymore, and he sank lifeless to the earth. Seizing hold of the reins of Marian's palfrey, he turned him towards

Of the hundred men who went forth with Ellerslie, not one escaped, and from the terror with which their fate inspired the tories. the battle of that morning was called by them "McDonald's Rescue"

Interesting Pilgrimage to the Tomb at Mount Vernon.

The visit of Mr. Custis, of Arlington, the aged adopted son of Washington, and Mr. Edmund Lafayette, the youthful grandson of Gen. Lafayette to the Tomb of Mount Vernon, was a pilgrimage to that venerated spot, of peculiar interest and character.

While offering the homage of their hearts to the sepulchre that contains the ashes of the (Pater Patriot?) the veteran relic of the past called up to his young companion, the "time honored" memories of the days of Washington, narrating recollections of the glorious career of his public services, together with endearing memories of the virtues of his private life and domestic retirement, amid the tranquil shades of his beloved Mount Vernon. Mr. C then spoke to the Pilgrim from LaGrange of his illustrious grand parent, and how his fame and memory were cherished in the hearts of the American people; and that his early and chivalric devotion to the cause of their indepemlence. and good and gallant services in the war of the revolution, had earned lor him the title of America's Benefactor.

Mr. C. pointed out the spot of the first interview with the Marquis de Lafayette, in 1784; for although but a child at that remote period. Mr. C.well remembered the arrival of the Marquis at Mount

Vernon, accompanied by Count Deux Ponts, and the Chevalier Corman(?); they had called to pay their parting respects to the Chief, preparatory to their embarkation for France. Forty years after this event had passed away, and the Father of his Country had long been called to his great reward in a better world, when Mr. Custis had the singular happiness to present to the Nation's Guest,, at the Tomb of Mount Vernon, a ring containing a lock

of Washington's hair; the group assembled at the old Tomb where rested the remains. The address

on presenting the Ring, with Lafayette's reply, and

one of the most distinguished features in the

memorable triumph of the Nation's Guest. M. Edmund Lafayette was rnuch interested in all that was told him touching his estimable father, Geo. Washington Lafayette. (lately deceased.) of his first arrival in Philadelphia, in 1796, and introduction to the President of the United States, when Washington embraced him.andtold him, "while in America. God will consider me as vour father;" also of his long and happy sojourn as a member of

the family of Mount Vernon, until his departure for

Europe. The Pilgrim of Lagrange, when bidding

adieu to the spot, venerable in the estimation of the good and wise of all countries, and endeared by so many memories to the family of Lfayette, declared that he felt deeply impressed by all that he had seen and heard; that it was a bright day in his existence; hat he would be cheered in all his after life by the reflection that ha had performed a sacred duty, in making his pilgrimage to the tomb of Mount Vernon.

Alexandria Gazette. A recent London Medical periodical makes the following declaration:

"There never lived that conquerer who, with sword or lance, slew one quarter of the myriads that have died of lancet and leech."

Lord Byron to His Sister

The following lines were address by Lord Byron to his

sister, who, throughout all his troubles and errors; adhered

The faults which so many could find;

Though thy soul with my grief was acquainted,

It is that they bear me from thee.

Though the rock of my last hope is shivered,

And its fragments are sunk in the wave,

From the wreck of tlie past, which hath perished,

Thus much I at least may recall, It hath taught me that which I most cherished Deserved to be dearest of all: ln the desert a fountain is springing,

In the wild waste there still is a tree, And a bird in the solitude singing, Which speaks to my spirit of thee.

to him with unshaken affection:

And the love which my spirit hath painted

It never hath found but in thee.

Then, when nature around me Is smiling, The last smile which answers to mine, I do not believe it beguiling,

Because it reminds me of thine;

As the breasts I believed in with me,

If the billows excite an emotion

It is that they bear me from thee.

Though the rock of my last hope is shivered,

And its fragments are sunk in the wave,

Though I feel that my soul is delivered

Which speaks to my spirit of thee.

A Good One.

Report of the Chief of Police on Crime. The Quarterly Report of the Chief of Police, on crime, will be found in the proceedings of the Common Council, in another column. It is an interesting document and contains some valuable statistics of crime. It appears that for the last quarter of a century, the arrests numbered 10,010, making an excess of 1,786 over the last quarter. There were 885 burglaries, grand and petit larcenies; for which 1,039 persons had been arrested; 1,204 lost children were restored to their parents, and 7,580 persons were accomodated with lodging at the station houses. The report justly complains of the want of light in the city, particularly along the docks, a large amount of property being lost by theft, and many lives being lost by drowning, in consequence of the darkness. There were only thirty-five persons rescued from a watery grave during the quarter. For other matters, we refer to the report itself, which will be read with Interest.— N.Y. Herald

Telegraphing.

Among the many contrivances to expedite business, and to turn circumstances to the best account, for which Americans are remarkable, is the successful application to private use of the magnetic telegraph. Messrs. R. Hoe & Co., in Gold street, have had during the past few months in their counting room, one of Morse's magnetic telegraphic machines,

which comunicates with their establishment nearly two miles distant in the eastern part of the city. The machines, which occupy but a small space, are regularly used by the proprietors and clerks with perfect ease.

Information relative to the progress of orders, and questions

on their business, are asked and answered with almost ordinary

speaking rapidity. The two establishments are thus

rendered as accessible to each other for conversation as though both were under the same roof. The expense per

week for magnetic power is said to be very trifling, and the alphabet used may be readily acquired by any person in a
