Col. Eenjaaiin AlUton, the lather o/ Mrs. PvaU-, ha J been in the habit of spending his Hammers in Greenville, wheie Maaldin and his intended bad become acquaitiled and louned an attachment lor each other. I had never been below Co'umhia, previous to this excursion with INIr. Maludin. I had been accustomed to seeing eveiy day of my life, bills and mountains, and knew nothing of a level champlaiu eoumiy, o?*^tl?e seaboard. In crobbing the Watefac River, I was ainpzed at the swamp which we had to pass through, live or six miles wide, and the road the gi eater part of this distance under water. It was with great apprebeurion that we made our way through this swauip, and I began to think it was interminable. I remember Hying to Mauldio, "how deligbtlul a g'impseof the mountains would he to us now, and how much more agreeable it wotiM be, climbing up a steep hill, instead ol passing through this mud and water." I thought how happy the inhabitants of a high undulating countiy ought to be with health and a iino climate, ami bow much better off they were, even in poverty, than the wealthy occupants of such a low, ugly and sickly region. We stopped to stay all night in Stales!) urg, a little old dilapidated country village. I noticed a huge house on the highest uoint ol the town look 0 4 ing ovtr a steep I.lull down into the ?wanij) of the nver. I was told it was uninhabited, on atcovnl of its exposure to the miasma of the swamp, whilst houses, at the loot of the bluff were comparitively healthy. This seemed at the time, very remarkable to me. I should have supposed that its elevation would place it above, in sonic measure, the malaria of the low ) grounds. The region of the Country around Staieshurgh being of a sandy soil, had the reputation ot being healthy. Sand and pine woods being more conducive to health than a clay soil with its growth of oak, hickory ?&c. We arrived at Georgetown Ute in the evening and our first sight of the town and Winyah Gay was from an elevated position, which overlooked the surrounding country . I was very much struck with the apparance of the old town, which had the reputation of being "a finished city" as no new houses had been elected in it for a half century past. Jbit my attention was presently rivited on the bay. I had never before seen a large slieet of water. There were a great nnn?ber of little sloops and schooners in the bay, loaded with rice, and waiting for a favorable wind to make their way out of the bay. The sails, were all furled and the mania looked t<o me like a parcel of old pines standing in a large millpond after being killed hy the overflow of the water. 1 could not see the hull of the vessels distinctly. In fact I did think, at first sight of these numerous masts, scattered all over the hay, that they were old pine trees standing in the waterl I have frequonlly thought of this first impression made on my X V /t/ f)yj ^ ^ U' ' |pr VOL.7.

He always travelled in the tip country with a great retinue of servants, horses and carriages. His horses wore remarkably fine. The old gentleman was a man of great good sense and practical wisdom, hut with little education or refinement. lie was a most worthy and liberal man. kind to the poor and liberal to all. lie gave mo some of the incidents ol his ear'y lile, which were amusing. Whilst very young, i sevoial years before he was of age, he ! made a ciop of tobacco with one slave | only. Me carried it to Charleston and I sold it at a high pi ice, and with a por- i lion of the proceeds he piovliused himself a tine suit of broadcloth and a cocked hat. On his reiuin home he went to church on Sunday to show his fine clothes and -co the young ladies. There were < wo start ing irom clunuh in an old fa< binned gig. or chair, driving themselves. lie was on horse back, and in order to get a ride with these young ladies, he tinned his horse loose and uninvited he jumped into the gig 'with them. One of them wave! y indignatit,"and rebuked him in angry terms, ior his intrusion and rudeness. In reply to her ho said, "don't be alarmed .Miss, it is not you that I am after." The other one became his firft wife. His second wife was a lady of large property, to whom ho was largely indebted (or proper y purchased of her. Times grew hard, and lie saw that he would not be able to meet his payments. 11c went to her and told iiov so, and said he was willing to give her himself and all lie had, in liquidation of the debt. In due time she accepted his manly idler, and ihoy were married. His third wife was a noble hearted lad v, whom I knew well and esteemed greatly. Whilst waiting for the wedding to com** off (lor M.s. I'yatt told Maulom that she would appoint mo dav, or make any pvepcralions till after ho had arrived in (Jeo?getown) (Job AlUton gave us in charge one day, lo his manager or ovciseer, a very gentlemanly man, to cany us over his extensive rice jdantations and show us his rice mills and negro settlements. I was pleased with the appearance of his slaves. They were all dressed comfortably sind neatly in new woolen suits. The manager told us that they all had their task every day, which they generally finished by two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and had the remainder of the day to themselves, to fish, hunt or attend to their little patches. Their food was rice and potatoes. 1 >ut they caught fish, killed ducks and raised poultry on which they lived most comfortably. There were houses for children, under the superintendence of old ''.Manias," whilst their molhcis were working in the fields. I thought from what I saw on this plantation and another one winch we visited, that the negroes had a belter lime there, than on the small fauns in the upper country, I have no doubt ihey lived better then, and were haprvwkt* i it f liiiir eln tUii't.' i l\u n f lui\r n i*o noiif |SIV* 111 \ II v I I puitvij fuiiu nil. ?

I was told that he was one of many orphan bovs whom the old gentleman had taken, educated and put out to a trade. He n?ade it a rule that all of his proteges of this class sbou'd take dinner with h'.m every Sunday no matter who were at the table. Tim be said he did to keep them from /ailing into bad company ami bad hub bus. The wedding took place in due time, and Hie paiay was a very large one, and the entertainment handsome and luvarious. The rooms of j\Irs. Hyatt's house were all filled and the gentlemen were all standing. I was presented u> all of them very formally, and I douT think one ot the company failed to give me a pressing invitation to visit hiii). iMost of them lived in lite country, and they oflci ed as an inducement their country sports. Whilst standing in the midst of them 1 thought myself like Saul ol old "head ami shoulders taller" than any ol them, I was struck with their low stature. The ladies seemed to be of ordinary height, handsome and clever. Amongst lb em was a you tig widow, Mrs. Cripps, exceedingly beaulilul, lovely and graceful. I was very much pleased with her, and in the course of our con vernation I made some remark about 1 widows. 81)3 immediately said it was a great misfortune, but certainly no reproach to be a widow. I assented to the remark, but with a mental reservation, that oiton it was a great blessing to be rid ?d a worthless husband, ana tbat there were very lew young men who did not preler the first pure love to a second. Time passed on for fifteen or twenty years, w hen at a governor's ball m Columbia, General Canty came to me and said there was a lady iu the room who desired to reuew an old acquaintance with me. I found in her my old Georgetown wid ajlv \r _A_n Tndepe VAYBORO, S. C., t: ow, then the wife of :v second marriage and 1 was pleased to renew our acquaintance. In returning from Georgetown all alone, I drove up to the hotel in Kingslree and asked ior a night's lodging, about dark. The hotel keeper politely in' mit>d mo that his house w it si 11111 iiiil <*i>iild lint ii.<i>iim<i(l<it? tm> I found there was no other house in i town where I could get lodging, and 1 i '.old mine host that I could sleep 011 inv ! cloak in the parlor, if he could litid stable room and Iced lor my horse. i lie said very well, and 1 walked into his hoiel. Seeing a little girl passing through the room 1 gave her a piece of the wed.ting cake which I had in , my pocket. She immediately came back, at the instance ol her sisters, and i asked me whose wedding cake it. was. 1 inioime.l her; ar.d when bed time came the hotel-keeper i.iiormed me that his daughters had kindly given up their room to me lor the night. 1 went to bed in a room hung all around wiih lie* paraphernalia of ladies. 1 thought ' > my sell what# a Iiick'' t.hing I that piece ol wedding cake was.

On the 24ill of A | ?ri 1 of that J year Coventor Try?>n marched from the town of Ncwbern with about ilmee hundred men and a small train of artillery.

On the 1.7tl? ol May he approached the camp ol the Regulators at Alamance Creek, in the county of that, name. The story of that battle is well worth repeating. When Tryon had reached the vecie.ity of Alamance Creek the Regulators sent a messsage to him demanding a icdiess ol their grievances, and giving him tour hours o ' n n to icply.

The enemy !>eing tardy in their compliance, and the army coinplaining with the exlivino heat ol the hum and manifesting great impatience to advance, it was thought advisable to lead them on. They matched in profound silence till the lines ot both parties met, almost breast to breast. The governor forbade his men to fire until i he ordered diem. The troops in the first rank were almost mixed with those of the vanguard of the enemy stationed a little before the main body, and who now began to retire upon it, shoutina defiance and daring their op. pouenis to advance.

Well, you know | boys, its bard tor im shtUmx to go back i on our liquor, so, I need hardly toll i you, I went in.
