How Marion Got His Rifles. The close of the year 1780 was e siul period lor America. Tim liriiiah held the country Irotn Charleston lo the upper Sanloe, and in order io complete their conquest had established a chain ol posts throughout the Slate, each ol which was strongly lorlified and defended by a good garrison. Organized resistance to the lirttish thoie w .is none. On the American si lo the pi inoipal actors in tho strugghj were the men who composed the famous "light brigade" of General Marion. The favorite rendezvous ol .Marion ivas at Snow island.* This is a piece ol Vigii river swamp, as it is called in the Jarolinns, and was surrounded on three iides by water, so as to he almost imnegnable. Here Marion had his amp. From this fastness ho issued 01 th at pleasure to range the enemy's granaries, or capture a straggling mity of I.is troops. Secure in his rereal, ho had no fear ot pursuit. In lite etty ol (.Charleston, the dcs>ctistu i>I ilit; British was at its height; he proud spirited peoplo of that eapial were held down by a 'grinding yrauny. Many o! them were still >|n n and uncompromising in theii mstility to the English, while others, hinking they could host servo the tanso in that way, a(Vected a hearty iiihinissiou to the conquerors, and vere seemingly the most loyal ol all ving George's subjects. Vet, while he English siw this and congralHiatal themselves upon the good effect it votild have on the colonists, these 'cry ' loyalists1' kept the American ;ommantlet's constantly inlormed of all hat passed within the British lines, md many a d Ussier of the English vas in this way directly attributable o them. One of these persons was a lady ol ine social position and great wealth, ndeed, there were few persons in all 'harlcNlon over who?e submission to he crown the British were more elated han they were over that of Mrs. Anne iarden. She was a young and beauliul widow, just twenty live, and for everal years liad been the standing oast ol the beaux of the Oai'olinas. Vhen the British took the city, she vas one of tho first to submit to the ting, and since then her house had >een the favorite gathering place of he red coat crontrv. iManv of .Mrs. CP / J iarden's liicnds, who weio staunch KitiiolH to tho last, quielly out her equaiiiuuic, and shook their heads in ilent indignation when her name was nenlioned, and when they dared speak t all it was only to condemn the widow's treachery. In the camp of darion, however, there was one cheek hat kindled with pride and not with haine when (he lady's name was ineiiioned; and as lor General Marion hunelt, he could have told tales that would have startled the willow's CharL'ston friends, had it been sale to do o. While Marion was creating so great n excitement beyond tho gales of lharloston, Mrs. (lardon resolved to ;ive a ball. Preparations were made n an extensive scale, and tho loyal lenient of the city was in high lealier. 'l'ho splendid mansion ot the oung widow was dressed with flowers rom cellar to garnet, and biased with ghts on the oning appointed for tlie sfccinbly, and the b ind ol the garrison -An Indepei 1 i lYBORO, s. c., sat m discoursed sweet music to tlio assembled crowd. The entertainment was at its height, when the crowd near the door suddenly parted, and a young man came forward hurriedly. He was tall and splendidly termed, and carried himself erect with a proud, martial air. He was dressed in the unilorm of an oflicer of the lory legion, and his geucral'uppuaranco was that of a man who had rnideu far and hard during the day. As the young willow saw him, her (ace flushed ami then grew deathly pale, and she sprung forward with a cry of alarm. ''What are you doing here?" she asked horridly. "You will see," ho answered quickly, in a low tone. "Only, lor Heaven's sake, swear black and blue to what I may say!" Then he added, calmly, and in a louder tone; "You see, my dear cousin, I have come back to my allegiance.' "I il 111 d <?l I or It <wl In luiur 11 '* al... .<>_ - f,... v. " "v"> " ?

"Faith," lie said, laughing, "if my heart ha<l clung to it, my stomach wouhl have driven me from it. I'm not fond of starving, my lair cousin, and King George lives well, you know. 1 loroiiller, Thomas Wilson lives and dies a loyal man." Colonel Watson had been standing by, duiing this conversation, watching the couple closely. Now he stepped forward to the lady's sido. "Who is litis gentleman?" he asked, somewhat sharply. "He seems wonderfully familiar." "Oh." replied the lady, laughing, "he is my cousin, Lieutenant Thomas Wilson, and, as you will perceive, is in Ids majesty's service." "You scout rather careless of your dress, considering the occasion, sir," said the colonel, tartly, lie was annoyed at the gieat interest which the lady had shown 111 the new comer. "My business must be my excuse, colonel," said the young man, respectInlly. "I am the bearer ol a letter from Major Gainoy, and my orders arc to lose no time in delivering it. 1 have ridden hard all day, sir, and upon reaching your headquarters learned ol i..< i.

The young man offered his arm to the lady, ami they lclt the ball room; hill instead of going l<> the diningroom, she led him straight to her chamber, ami then, locking iho door, said, anxiously: "Kor Heaven's sake, Charles, what is the meaning ot this?"' The young man did not answer verbally, but catching he/ to his breast, kissed her passionately, and, to be hank, tiic young widow did not resist him. "It means," ho said, at last, in reply to her repeated questions, "that \vc want arms, and I havo conn for them." What else they said mutter* now: buL before, thee wii:ii'i?Iim1 Jr > -- - j ? r Garden seemed very well hummed witli tho young man's exj lauaiion. They then repaired to the supper-room, where the lieutenant louml ample reIreshmunts, and the lady returned (<> the ball-room, where Colonel Watson i was impatiently awaiting her. i At midnight the lieutenant called at I headquarters, and, laiihlul to his promise, Colonel Watson was there. I The necessary orders lor tho delivery i of the arms and ammunition and wag- i ons to Lieutenant Thomas Wilson, ol < tho "loyal legion," wore made out, < apd the colonel also placed in tho ! young man's hand a sealed letter of < instructions to Major Gaincy.

HOY Lf'NOK HAMPTON'S COl'KSK. i A Prompt ViiMlicationof Ills Political At- | 1 titiide by Somebody who Knows what i i be is Writ in;; A boat. A correspondent of the Augusta i Chronicle and Sentinel, signing himself "A New York Democrat," makes the following just and spirited reply I to the elaborate and insidious attack I made upon Governor Hampton by I ^another correspondent in Wednesday"s ! 1 issue of that paper: i For my part 1 believo every word of i the article published in your paper I signed 44 A Tildcn i)oinocrat," though i O ' O I object to the spirit ol it, and 1 re- i gret Us publication, for although true, I it is sensational, and I voids to provoke ' controversies in the time ol national ' peril most dangerous to the harmony i as well as the success of the friends of i constitutional government. 1 read I between the lines, however, enough to I blunt the edge of the attack some ol 1 the papers ire now making on Caroli- i na's honored Governor by showing ? what I believe to be the truth?that I Governor Hampton thinks, from the ? events of the past, that the happiness i ami prosperity ol his Slate can be best subserved by peace; and in view ol the fact that she has been eiusbed I to earth under the heel ol her enemies i and deserted by her friends, she must i t work out her own salvation, ami | create no antagonisms even if she i forms no alliances. Now, its to the i facts slated by 44A Tilden Democrat," < the kernel of which is the course of I" the National Democracy towards I I South Carolina, I wish to say this: j mi . . in.u u is patent to a*tl that Carohna lias not only been the Ts'iobo of ilio I South, but regarded oven bv the Na- t lional Democracy, especially by lliu h "Invincible in war mi l invisible in a peace'1 wing as the Pariah of l Stales, content with whom was tin* i clean. She has been and is the South* I em scape-goal; and 1 know Mr. Tildun ' wrapped his robes around him and | told her, "stand oil."

"Stales? < Ohio and Indiana?for the October I elections," attd that the Democracy of t South Carolina must tight out their a )wn salvation, to which Colonel e remarked; "We intend to, and al- I though our people are poor, we shall t make up in effort and enthusiasm that i which we lack in money." I quote f Lhe spirit, if not the words Mr. Secro- I tary then went on to state that Mr, e Tilden regarded the nomination of a Governor Hampton as a mistake, and t 7 f ^ I , 1877. j\(). 49. deprecated the canvass, mm tin y reared it would luivo ii 1 >md efleet at the North, on account of Governor II.'s war veoord. Col, replied that lie j himself hud opposed a slraightout | canvass, hut idler the oonvei.lion decided otherwise, hud given it his hearty support, and that there was a great mistake in the Northern idea about Ccii. Hampton, who was a man of great conservative prudence and moderation, although a bravo and illustrious soldier. When we left the committee room, 1 remarked to Col. M.: "Vim have nothing to expect neither money nor sympathy ? from the National Democracy." "No, 1 replied he, "wo must make the light on State issues and do the best we can." In conclusion, I draw these deductions: 1. South Carolina owes nothing to the National Democracy, and .Mr. Tildcti was personally hostile to the candidacy ol Coventor Hampton. 2. That it is now the duty ol Governor Hampton to protect his people, who have louiid neithei "strength in their arms nor mercy in their woe," and that from this standpoint his lanious letter was, even if inopportune, untiling for which lie should he censured. 3.
