He was of French-do^ scent, his ancestors having been driv ! en from France by the revocation of the edict of Nantes. They first set tled in Scotland,} ?md afterwards in. the north Of Ireland. His father en; igr;ted lo Pennsylvania, and from thence removed with his family, while Andrew was very young, to Virginia, ' and settled for a few years, about eight miles west af where Stanton now stands. In the year 1752, his father removed from Augusta counti Virginia, and settled in the Wax! South Carolina. His family amongst the first setters of of the State! As hefcwas th? frontiers ot a newly settled coi tty, he was necessarily deprived the advantages of a good education. He spent his youth in hunting and^ agriculture, the usual occupations of such a country. But endowed as he was by nature with uncommon sagac ity and great decieion of character, he soon attracted the confidence of all who knew him. He w?9 rather above the middle height, very active, wiih a muscular frame, capable of enduring great fatigue ; and there-: was no hardy enterprise of those days too daring to enlist his xeal and hearty cooperation. Like many of our most distinguish ed officers of the revolution, he com menced his military services in the French war, which terminated 1763 Ic was during this war that he began to develop those finalities fe 1 which he was afterwards so eminently dis tinguished. In the year 17G2, he served as a volunteer in a bloody but successful expedition under Lieuten ant Colonel Grant, a British officer sent by General Amherst to command against the Cherokee Indians. In 1701 the settlement made on Long Cane, in the western pail o? Carolina, was nearly exterminated by the Indians, and many of the inhabi tants tied to the Waxbaws for protec tion, and amongst them was Ezekiel Calhoun and his family. It was Re becca, the daughter of this gentle^uji^ with whom young Piekens then beT came acquainted, and ix ft er wa rds ml? ried. She was the sister of John Calhoun, who died while a senara congress. Early in 170-1, the eulject of this biographical shel eh removed to litei Long Cane .settlement, near where Abbeville C. II. is now situated. He had a considerable family of small children, when the revolution, with all its additional horrors of civil war, commenced. At a very early ( period, he took a decided and active stand against the right claimed by ? Great Britain to tax her colonies with out their consent. The section of country in which he lived was tin for tunately much divided. And it was more so n?ar him, in the section bo tween Saluda and Broad rivers, where the majority were tories. These circumstances rn ide the struggle in the upper purr? of South, Carolina far more painful and destruc tive than it was in almost any other part of the confederacy. The Woody and midnight contests that arose be tween neighbors and acquaintances, even over their hearthstones and in the bosom of their families, were far more terrible than the conflagrations of a foreign foe; and nothing but the sternest patriotism and most undaunt ed courage could have borne up the whig cause against a murderous civil war at home, and the invasion of a relentless enemy from abroad. At the ?erv commencement of the revolution, Andrew Bickens raised a militia company, and was appointed the captain. The distinguished pt?ij which ho acted throughout the sti gie, for independence, has beei general terras recorded by the lian, and the principal events only be alluded to in the pre.?! sketch. His zeal, ."kill, and courage"? were rewarded by his country in bis being rapidly promoted lo the respec tive commands ot major, colonel, and brigadier genera!. ' In the most despondent lime, when South Carolina was overran by the enemy, and suffered all the horrors of Indian and tory murders, he re mained unshaken, and with Marion and Sumpter in di fi?rent parts of the State, kept up the spirit of resistance. These throe generals waged a gueril la warfare by night and by day, fight ing on the banks of tbis creek anti on the bank's of that river, over eve ry inch of soil, in a manner thal .stands as yet unrivalled in tho histo' ry of American chivalry and gallant' ry. This will more readily be od milled when we consider, that fe; the three years immediately preced ir.g the battle of the Cowpens, during which period the American arms hac met with a succession of defeats anr disasters everywhere, these thie? State generals fought, with few or ni resources save their own undying spirit and courage. In addition to the common enemy General Bickens had to encounte the Indianfl, as his command lay ii the upper and western sections of th State. Ile commanded in chief in a .expedition against the Cheroki ??732. As ammunition waa s and not to be had, he invented ii moue of fighting savages. He short sabres, made most of thei jjjie^ common blacksmiths of the < , tty, and mounted his men, ai '?with these cutlasses, on hormel .?riey penetrated the interior -ol ; nation _ with such rapidity andi j ness, that it struck universal ti amongst them. Willi fire and s' h^e destroyed in a few days their j ?ipal towns; and such was his sue mat with a force of five hun? men he subdued the spirit of powerful people, and'laid the lou Hon of a peace so permanent tha B^ot been since disturbed.

The consequence that the tories, who had hilhi fought, io,detached parties, arsenal in'1770 more than seven bund men, under Colonel Boyd. The p of operations was laid in New Y by the British commander. Wi I Savannah was taken, Colonel Gam WHS advanced to Augusta. Bo who hail just returned from R York, was to notify the disaffec and excite the tories in the wi ern parts of North and South C? lina, and force his way to join Colo "Gamble at Augusta. Colonel Gi ole immediately moved up Savani river with several hundred motin toten, and after maceouvreing in neighborhood cf where Petersbui now stands, and Kerr's fort, in on to tii'ect u junction with Boyd, was compelled by the whigs to retri General Picken?, who waa then a c onc-l,.with only three hundred s .twenty men, alter driving back Ga ble, pursued Boyd, and forced him ?ross il^-=i?er, eighteen miles abc fcZiunction of Savannah and Bro BRr He then crossed at th Bion, and was joined by- Colo H Bone hundred Georgia ^WPB^M, with great patriotis Lj^Bk-.he command of all the for lo hiuT. -They then pursued Bo rapidly, who had taken a circuito route through the Cherokee oatie until they overtook him in a few da; on the eaid banks of Kettle creek Georgia, just as his men had si down some beeves, and were pr?pi ?ng their breakfast.

Colonel Pic] ens, with many other whig officers .j this section, had many desperate rei j counters with detachbd parlies o'f tl I disaffected, which, although develo] ? ?ng much bravery and personal cou ! age, are too numerous to be mentioi ed in this short sketch. He was with Geuerul Lincoln i I thc battle of Stono, and had his hon . killed under him while he was eo< -. ; ering the relient ordered by that gel . eral. Ho commanded the unlit ? ! forces at the .famous battle of tl ? i Cowpens. When all the ciroumstanci ' \ aro considered, thia rauet be pronoun . ; ed one of the most gallant'and da ? j ing battles of the revolution.

Cornwallis andi ton were pressing, with snp j forces, Greene and Morgan into ? j Carolina. The Cowpens is in th? i per-edge of Spartanburgh disl ! and'very near . the North Car line. It was of vast importance those under General Morgan sh not be prevented in their retreat effecting a junction with Greene, was also pressed by the superior i of Cornwallis. Under these eire stances.. General Morgans opi was against fighting ut the Cojwj Colonel Picken? thought Vhal: .Vc thing mn=i be" done, cr the spiri ! the country would be broken dc and South Carolina become a pet noni and ea*y conquest. Af? council of officers was hcid, the ? was determined on. The enemy \ superior in numbers by two hand Colonel Pickens formed his line al two hundred'yards in advance of second line, consisting of the li infantry andVj?orpa ol Virginia fiemen. TheHhirdftline was fori from the cavalry with about f mounted militia men. Colonel P ens issued strict orders not to fire til the enemy were within forty ys and when forced to retire, to fora: the right of the second line. T I were obeyed, and the fire was a* stineting.as it wa? unexpected, checked: the impetuosity of Tarli for a few momeuts, when he ?ncot ercd the stcond line; and the nilli to the astonishment of the ene fell back in good order, and rall under their leader in propel t for the second onset. The seci line were forced to give way, and back upon the cavalry; and wi Tarleton wai cutting down the ir tia Colonel Washington made a ? cessful charge upon him; and IL ard, almost at the same moment, *a his continentals, charged with fi: bayonets. "The example was stantly followed by tho militia. Nc ing could exceed the attonishm and confusion of the British, oe sioncd by these unexpected chargt The victory was complete. This 1 thc first time in the history , of country, that militia were rallied : brought in good order to the ?ec< fire and charge; and it is not detr? mg from any to say, that on that casion, animated by the spirit t coinage of their commander, tl won at least an eqnal share pf gb with the continentals.

The reas why General Pickers happened t to be in the battle of Guilford C. was, that a few day? before, the mi tia under his command from Geor* and South Carolina, and from Row and Meckler.berg counties in Not Carolina, wore offended in the afb' , of Wlnteset's mills; and under t advice of Governor Rutledgp, w had arrived in camp, he march? them back into South Carolina.

It ie deeply tu be regretted there ha? yet been no fall and ge al history of the upper parts of S Carolina, and of lue various .sc in which he was called toactso pi inent a part.

No statistics of South Caro lina could be obtained, but the show ing would not be much better, if any, than that of the Old North State. No fanaticism should be attendait upon the zeal in checking Intemper ance. The use of wine, beer and ale should be encouraged. ? 'lhe Chris tian can indulge in moderation in the use of these. St. Paul commet-ds tli9 use of wine to Timothy, and wine i?* not accursed as it is used iu the most sacred offices of the Church, and with the approval of our Saviour. If we pity the drunkard, let us soothe his sorrows and show him a better way. The influence of women, the total abstinence pledge, the inebriate asylum have all failed. The Church i? the only reformatory of any avail, and this is of Divine appointment. If a man cannot indulge or is not able to reeiet temptation, then total abstinence is hie _duty. The grace of God will give him strength to'.resist* "Be not filled with new, but with the Holy Spirit/' thasu will never seek the bowl. The great evil of intemperance is incieased by the desecration of the Sabbath, now a day of carouse and not a day of res:. The Sunday ex? cureions, picnics, now so common in all cities, add a large number to the liit of drunkards, lt is now a pro verb in the larger Northern cities that "Sunday was not made for man," but for saloon-keepera and liquor sellers. Whilst the Church languishes our people are governed by expedi ency not religion. Profanity pollutes the Sabbath air. "Zion mourns, her. gates are desolate." A Frightful Moase. The Newburyport (Mass ) Herald relates the following incident: "A short time since an elderly lady of this city startled the honsehoid with a piercing shriek and the informa tion that there waa a mouse in her pocket. Some one rushed to the res-,. ene, hastily aesiBted hertodiveet her self of her wrapper, firmly grasping the month of the pocket to prevent; the eecape of the dangerous animal.-.
