Ferguson , was slain in t h<* kit; le, ami Ids follow . foragers, numbering about one t.hoq* sand, vvoro nearly all captured or killed. This emflet revived the hop'\s of the Southern paliiots, ant forced Cornwall! -> to rot urn to Charie. ton disconifi'te l an ! e ist down, "We shall have rest now," the patriots s.ii-1, nf r t.im ha1 tie. "Ferguson, tho dreaded. is 'Fad. and the few tories who eseaped with their wretched ' lives are not strong cuough to do ua harm." Everywhere in tho vicinity of the battlo-l'ield tho Americans breathed freer, and tho loyalists in whose inter- j ests Ferguson had marched to his death, curbed, their loyalty, and in Beeresy swore revenge, but the settlements were booh to 1 learn that tho \ ietory of King's Mountain had nerved the arm of a foe more ' terrible than any wideh they hod hit herto known. The existence of t he now terror was : discovered by ahoy olio morning about . a fortnight after the battle. He found the family of Archibald Mottson murdered in their own house, and to tiio corpses hud boon pinned a paper bearing 1 hose words,: "This for tho gallant Ferguson!" This terrible atrocity aroused tho country, and tho ox? itemont wasquiekly heightened by t-lio finding of tho body ofanoihor inurderod patriot. On tho coM broa. t, which had boon pierced by pistol balls, was tho pnli I paper and its words of torriblo import, and tho country know that a fearful vengeance would ho takeu fo?c King's Mountain. During tlie week that followed the d. cove: ies I have mont loned,tho work of tho Avengers was terrible. They j fell upon patriot houses at the dead | of night, ami left on tho bosom j of their victims tho Uvo words which ; bad already terrorized the country. It was in vain that tho i atriots summoned their cunning and energy for j the capture of the band of demons, which, as it had boon discovered, num- j bored six men, masked, and mounted on black horses. They came and wont 1 i!:o ghosts, but always left behind tho ! terrible sentence which ha I ma le their , e: istence execrable. At times they j fell upon their hunters, and left thorn by tho roadsi lo marked with the sign i of vengeanee. Fear began to paralyze the Carolitd- j tins; many abandoned their homos for j tho sake of their tamilms; and it is , probable that tho entiredl??t?.lot would | have boon depopulated in a short timo, , had it not been for the coinage of one woman. Tier nat io was Alice Doauchampo. It was a dark night In tho last week , of November, when tho heroine of my , etory left the house of a friend. Her own house, which had been deserted for several dsvet wm? r?.?t f-.?. ... ?? ^ ?.wv iivi ci?a>,anu j sho had determined to return to it for tho puri>oso of securing an article of a; parel left behind in her recent t flight. lkforo sho sot out on her journoy Bho \vii8 warned of the dangers that environed it; but she smiled, and declared that she did not fear them. Slio Cuiil .I enter the old house through the kitchen, In the rear, find the garment without a light, and rouiru safely to her fiu nds. The i ath she had often traversed Wn,s buiely discornable; but she made good headway, and reached her homo w ithout incident. Too silenco of tho jjravo hung about the forsaken place, and the Jiliing ui the hitch sent a chill ot terror to the young girl's heart, through tho kitchen, across tho defeated parlor, and up the stairs, she * ?ropt to the room where she had left the object of her nocturnal'pi'-st. The drawer of thu old bureau vicided without noise, and Alice was drawing forth , / f i \ ) tils fr\ r t ^ -y v Jl i Vi i X tho garment when tlio voters of men fell upon her ears. 8he started, dropped her prize, nn<l with her heart in her throat crept to tho window that overlooked tho porch in front of the houso. Hlio could see nothing, for tiie night was too dark; but the voices of men, mingled with the chomping of bits, continued to salute her cars. "This is old lieuuehampo's house," said one. "It has boon deserted for several days. The daughter, frightened by the manner in which wo treated the father, has iled somewhoro for protection." * - I Tlioso words drove every voptigo of color from the listener's face; they told her who 11 jo men below were, though she could not see even the outlines of their persons. One week prior to her visit, her father, one of King's Mountain heroes, was found dead in a palmetto grove, ami tho words of | Ferguson's Avengers lay on his breast. Then she hud deserted her homo, knowing that tho hand that had struek tho father would not spare the duugh* ter. Well might the lone girl tremble when she found herself so near tho dreaded scourges of the country, and she diil not move until sho heard tho front door o| "nrd by a kirk, and heavily booted feet in tho loom bolow. Then a calm thought of her situation drove l'eai l'rom her heart, and Alice licau htitnpo prepared to per- : form one of tin in* t daring deeds of the Revolutionary War. Tho noise in i ho. house Increased, I and oaMi ; ami rude j'-.-ts pieeeded and followd the lighting oi' a lire on the heart h. Alice, who had longed for a sight of j the dreaded . i\, crojt to a spot neat the hu: an where t hero was a crack in the. floor, Tin n applying her eye to j the pcek-lede, she saw six wild look- ' in 14 niea directly la UL.-.th her. They wore, be.\ und douht, tlio Avengers of I Tgr -n'a death, for several masks lay on the tal>le, along with three or f air bottles of wine which they had taken from some patriot's cellar. Toll, rough, devil-inay-earolooking f'-ll >\vs tliey were, armed with pistols, cat bines, and sabres, tho kind of men wlio ncvci' court tko smiles of mercy orb-don tw the pleading of innocence. .Just Giich fellows as they wero, | Alice bad supposed them to be, for , she had seen many of the prisoners j taken at King's Mountain, and she | longed for the presence of a band of j patriots. There were true men in 1 South Carolina at that timo who would , have given their right arms for a chance to exterminate the Avengers, i and Alice knew whore a lit tie party of patriots lay, but alas! they wero not , very near. "We'll rest here nml finish thnt. wine!" said one of the loaders of tho baud, whose face told that already ho had imbibed freely. "bring in tho poultry, and on old Hcaucbumpo's hearth we'll prepare n feast." At his command, one of the men left tiie house, but soon returned,bearing with him a din k and several ehiekens, from whose freshly wrung necks tho warm blood was dripping. "How's tho horses," asked one of tho Avengers, as the man Hung tho j poultry on t he table. " Standing !iko rooks," was the ro- ! ply. "Sudi horses as they are don't j need watchin g and, beside, Micro Isn't arebel within ten miles of this aceur- i ed place." b "Why, there's the Widow ITartzcll." "I didn't think of her," was the ro. 1 ply. "How bitterly old 1 fart /.ell hated j us, but we caught him at last." "Ami presented him with a breastpin ! Ha! ba!" And the laugh went round the room. ( Alieo Jjoauehampe did not wait until the laugh was ended; while yet, it tilled the house with its devilish echoes, sho glided across tiie room to a w indow that looked out upon the dark palmetto grove, behind the building. There was no assh in the window, and the cool winds of the night kissed the palid cheek of the partisan's daughter. For a moment sho tried to pierce tho darkness beneath the window; but, failing in her endeavors, she crept ova-the ill. resolved to trust to fortune f success. The distance (o 1 ho ground was not grout, and the daiing girl ulighlod without injury. Now feiho five to make licr 09capo to tlio friends she hud lately left; but imlit lint(light in that direction was not lu r intent ion. "ileaveil ni ! mo!" she murmured, as site glided around the old house and approached t he horses which the tories laid left tethered to the small trees a few yards from tho door. A glance into tho room revealed tho forms oft lie Avengers discussing tho wine wiih oath and jest, or watching the roasting of the fowls. They did not fear danger, for their horriblo deeds had completely terrorized tho country, and under the sway of their lawlessness it was fast becoming a desert. Alice counted them boforo sho touched a single rein; and thonina brief period of time she loosened tho horses and quietly le<| thorn into a small copse not far away. The stocds did not refuse to obey her guidance.....I ..1 ...

It was a smart Mow that she administered, and t lie horses started forward and disappeared in an instant . Thus in a few moments Ferguson's Avengers had been deprived of their horses. Flushed with triumph, Alleo Beauchainpe returned to the house, and again looked in upon its hilarious tenants. Hhe now held a pistol in her hand? a weapon which a holster had granted her, and s ho crept to the edge of tho porch before she halted. There was the Hash of vengeance in the dark eyes of tho partisan girl whilosho kjazed upon the party beyond the v ixtr in- '<?? rr i \ i i)K ! \ 1 \ ) LjI lilj i i \ i thr< bold.

Aliee Ileauchampe's voieo had tired ' j tho hearts of a patriot band for vengeance. On her way to tho swamp ! sho had encountered the partisans who had captured one of tho Hying horses, a tit) were following the trail, Tho conlliet between patriot and tory was brief and almost hloodless.
