I caoaped, ho^ovor," ho added with a laugh of merriment over tho recollection. Omitting many interesting particulars which might 'bo considered irrelevant, and would extend this letter lo a greater, length than permissible, I coin monee in tho middlo of his story. TIth; WHISKEY IlUSlNEfiS. A large roward had been odored in North Curolina for his apprehension, end having his sisters to support, and knowing, moro over, that arrest at that time meant trial ii) a Unitod States Court and very ?peedy oonviotion, Redmond transferred tho soono of his operations into South Carolina, where ho drovo a thriving trade, almost in tho midst of tho "Rovonues," who tried in vain to catch him. "I boughs und sold only tho best whiskey," ho said, "and oould got 81.07 por gallon for my stock whoro other traders oould only command 81. 'Red mond Whiskey' soon became woll known and was sought aftor by ovorybody, oven tho Revenues. I was always very liberal with my oustomors and have frequently sot out a ton gallon keg for a 'treat,' and scon them drink every drop in n fow hours. 1 hove no doubt that 1 hnvo 'treated' away fully 1,600 gallons in this way since I begun. I did not mind treating my frionds, but I did bato to treat a rosoal, ns I hnvo ofton done, though I never said a word. The foot is," ho uddod, "vhoro is very little profit in tho business, and what with losses sod ospturos, and tho risk of? arrest and imprisonment, a man necessarily run?, it doos not poy to follow it. I hnvo not distilled a drop for three yonr?, oed bavo not BOld nny iov ovor 81 x months. RBOMpN? MKTltAYKO. Awong others with whom I used to trade was u man named Van Ilondricks. 1 met him one day and lie told mo that ho wanted to buy n quautity. Wo finally agreed to meet at a curtain house that night, where I was to t deliver tho whiskey and roocivo tho mouoy. Ho wanted it on credit, but I could not nil'ord to lot him have it, 80 ho promised to como and bring tho money. Ho was to meet mo nt 1 o'clook that night, and after dark I drew off what ho wanted (I hud to malto tho faucet out of a swoot potato!) nnd carried it to uu outhoyso, where I waited for bim. Amos Ladd, my wagon driver, was with mo, and wo kindled n big fire on tho hearth and laid, down te sleep. About half-past 12 Hondrieks and Jsnnison carno in, and I drew a pint bottle full and 'treated' thom both, I thon luid down again with my coat aud boots off. npd wo commenced talking. I had my pistols by mo, ono in sight aud ono under my pillow, and Hendrioks asked mo to let him seo what kind 1 used. Ho pioked up ono and examined it find then asked me to lot bim seo tho other. This modo mc sus picious, and I replied that I never allowed any mau to handle till my woapons at one time. THU CAPTURE. Just then a orowd of men., who had boen waiting outside, burst open tho tVoor and rushed in on mo and surrounded mo. Tkoro waa a big light in tho firc-placo, and I saw. a doxon guns were oooked and pointed right at me. They .vero hollering, 'Sur render!'Surrender!' os fast ns they could, and Amos Ludd said, 'I surrender.' 1 said nothing, and turned over to get my pistol from under my pillow, and saw that Hen dricks had run around bohiud mc nnd hud my own pistol within a few inohea of my hoad. Several ol' them jumped upon mo nt once, and held mc down aud pinioned my arms, and thcu they turned mc over ot? my buck and Harton and Gary tied my wrists close together. It was all done in A mo ment, but when they jumped on me, I thought to myself, 'if there were only two of you, how quick I could turn you under.' If I had dono so, howovcr, they would have riddled me with buckshot and balls, so 1 thought T would wait. 1?U UTA T. TREATMENT.. When they were lying mo, they used a suiull, strong ropo, and they pulled mighty hard on it. I had a 'rising' on ono wrist aud thqy hurt mo pretty badly;, thqj br.oko Um risipg and cured it, IJcro ' is tho sear now.," ho said, laughing, ''but if.they had torq.my ar.m off I wouldn't have said a word. When I was tied, Harton asked mc if I wan Maj. Ked mond? I told him, yes! He said, 'Yes, G-d d-n you, you oro tho man who wanted to kill inc.1 1 replied, 'I have not wanted to kill you; I could easily have done so if I had wanted.' ile ordered mo to get up, hut pulled so hard on tho end of tho rope ho had tied rou with that I couldn't get up lt is no easy thing to rjso wheu you aro ou your back with your hands tied. I tried to do so, hut couldn't got up quick enough to please him, and thon," said thc outlaw, his eyes flashing ot tho recollection of the indignity, "then he kicked nt mc, his hoot grazing my .side! If he had kicked mo squarely he would have hurt mo though I don't think he could have hurt mc much, that night, whatever he did, hut that was enough. I felt like I was as strong ns three men, and sprung up, I don't know how. I kept quiet, however, and they held mo, and Harton ran his hand into my pookot. and took out my pocket-book. I had ouo hundred and eighty-six dollars. Ile a?ke<) mo if it was mine? I said 'yes, put it back in my pocket; you hnvo no right to tako my money.' He said, 'you have no right to it,' and kept it. I then said, 'Look'here, lj want my boots.' A DASH EOR FRBEPOM. . Harton dropped tho cod of tho ref.o he had been holding, and started past mo to get tho hoots whiob were lying by my pallet. I was mud-because ho had kicked mo, und I felt as tull ns if I were throo feet above tho floor. I turned my hands in tho rope and 'whopped' my arms into Gary's breast, and knocked him down. I knocked Moore down in tho sumo way on tho other sido; tho othors were all standing two deerj between 1110 and tho door. 1 kicked tit Charley Whito, who guve way, tho rest scattered, and I jumped out of tho door like I bad been groused. My wagon was in front of thc door, fortunately; so I ran around it, gathering up, as l ran, tho rope villi which I was tied to keep it from trip ping mo (I knew they would ootoh ino if 1 foll). Thoy dashed out after mo, Hung! bang! wont thoir guns. Tho halls struck all around mo mid knocked up tho snow I heard one of thom say, 'By G-d, I know wo huyo killed him;' but 1 know thc} hadn't, and kept on. I wus still tied sc tight X couldn't get loose, though I kepi tugging at tho ropo ns I ran. I bad one pistol in my pocket, and twisted my bando around and got it out, but dropped it ir jumping a big chestnut log. FIltBT OATOll YOUU HARE. Thoro was a fenoo in tho way, but I worn ovor it without auy trouble. I think I flow ovor, I got ovov so easily. Tho ofliccrt luruod back thoy woro afraid to follow mt very fur, and then I stopped und untied tin ropo with my tooth, and know X was Bufo Tho snow was thick on tho ground, and 1 was without hat or coat, and in iny stookjiif foot. I know thoy had my pistols, but tis thoy had Amos, ton, I determined to resew him or dio. I thought they wouldn't staj long ?bout thoro aftor X was loose, so I rai aoross tho holds in my stocking foot to i neighbor's li o use. 1 won't tell his name but wheu I got ibero tho BO)CB of wy stocking! wcro out to pic?os by tho ico, aud tiio legs WOro clingiug a round my a uk Icc. I knocked und bo let mo ill, mid 1 told him tboso 'hcll-firod devils' bud, captured roo and my driver, and I intended to take him from thom. Ho gavo mo o hot and coat and shoes, and a gun and ammunition. I thon wcut bock to tho^odd whioh I. know tlioy would huvo to travel, and waited for thom. I heard thom getting roody to start with Amos, and all wore talking and shouting together. They had oapturod a high-strung blaok maro of mino, aud whon they hitched hov to thc wagon to ctart ono of them whipped her, and she began to kick things to pieces goucrully. Burton was anxious to get away, no Amos told mo afterwards, and stood by with his gun/ aiming ot every noise ho heard in tho bushec. They got started finally; tho bny maro did all tho pulling, ns tho black was mud; und I hoard them coming up tho road. Amos was cry itig; ho was, nothing buta boy, theo, aud I oaa't tell you how I felt. ATTEMPTED RESCUE OF AMOS LADD. 1 just seemed to swell, I folt so big; but I couldn't help from crying myself. I know my own wagon by tho black maro, whiol: I could seo against tho snow bank. Their's was a onc-horso concern, and was in front, nud just ns soon as it carno within reach I leveled my gun und lircd! I heard some ono holler, 'Hun! run! run!' and I heard ^Burton say, 'What's, tho matter!" I thought to myself, you wait u minute and I will show you what 8 tho matter. Then some ono in tho foromost wagon Grod at mo two or. th roo times and they nil fell out of tho wagon, nod r.$ they rou up thc snow bauk into tho bushes I fired again. My gun wu3 loaded with buckshot, and when ? heard some ono groaning und L thought 'I havo got meat this timo,' I shot six moro times, but the banks were so high that I overshot them nud didn't get anybody. CHARLEY WHITE'S TER ROU. Ono of them', Charley Whito, hud caught n shot in his thigh, ond ns Amos who was then dodging behind thc barrels told mc afterwards, tried his best to get under or into Amos for protection. Amos told him 'to get out and tnko his share;' ond he replied, 'I hnvo got my shnro ulrendy.' " To do him justice, I may say hero that thc "Major" did not seem to think that, under all tho circumstances, thcro was any thing particularly wrong in his 'singlo handed attack upon tho dozen Heven nos Ho certainly enjoyed tejliug how hard poor Charley Whito hud tried to orawl into Amos and how. bis faithful black mato had funned timber with her indignant noels. The oflioors tonk Am? into their midst and drove rapidly, and Redmond ceased firing for fear of killing his friend. AWAITING ANOTHER CHANCE. "I hadn't got Amos out yet," he contin ued, "BO aq they drove on I ran on down ?lu fence by their side until they got to thc uext house, (Mr. Pepper's) which wos not far off, and thon heard them holler, 'whoa! and cull for old man Pepper Mr. Pcppoi started to bring out u light, but Harton OTJ dcrcd him not to bring it there. I wai standing a few feet from bim in tho dark ness, wutebing for a chance to rescue Amos but could not tell him from tho others. Hi had untied liinibolf in tho wagon, however whilo wo wcro fighting, ond suddenly ] heard somo one holler, 'Ho's gono! he'i gone!' and then sovcrol shots were fired but I knew that ho had got off safely. ] then thodght I would rush iu and out tin traces and recapture my horses, but though they might hit mc so I stood still. Tlicj all went into thc house, und I went off um whistled for Amos, who carno to mc uut told mc I had wounded Barton und Hen dricks. We went back togother to wold thc house, and I looked through thc windin ond saw them nil sitting bolero thc lire, could have killed Barton or nny of thom they were not ton foot from inc; but wouldn't shoot noy. one dowu in nnotho man'3 house THE WAY THE REVENUES RUN. Thc next morning I sow them again ii tho road in tho one-horse wagon, am wanted to shoot Junnisou, but Amos boggo mo not to do it, and I wouldn't.

I made mo mad to BOC him on my horso, a fte all that lind hnppened, but I wouldn't shoo ot him, for fear of wounding Earle, win was between us. Gary had gotton him t rido by him.

I thought I. woul stop them, so I shot my own horso; h commenced staggering, but ho was gum and kept going, und I followed on aftc thom ns fast ns they and I could run. Thc crossed a creek und nil stopped, and Cur hollered baok to mo: 'Como over hero nu I will killyi.u.' I lind only my pistai, bu ? started towards him. I had, to cross th creek on a small log, and loaded an I we ni Before I could got across t hey commence running again, and I called out t,o them t 'wait nud I would kill overy ono of thou: Thut is tho way you do,' I said, 'you t-teti nil a man hus, and then run!'

They brought thom thut saw uight, and I, fouud thom hanging on tho wagon next morning. Tho rovonup officers carried off my aha wi and ovorqqnt and kept thom for tlicir own uso." (lt was, for; at tempting to recover this stolon property that Judge Muckoy issuod a bondi worra ot for him for.committing highway robbery.). A MOONSHINERS RAID. "Tho next doy," continued Redmond, "I sent word to Harton that if ho would return my horsos and money and have my wagon mended, I would call ol] square between us, and bo doho with it. Ho ro fusod to dp it, BO a few days later I raisod a company of. ubout twolvo mon from Crook, and went to cull on him. Wo rodo nil that uight. It was very dark nod wo missed tho way, and I rodo into a out in tho railroad. It was very deep, and I? had a hard full. My horso foll, on mo and knocked, ray leg out of joint I thought it wns broken it hurt so, but I palled to tho boys to halt or thoy would rido in too. Ono of them was so oloso that us ho wheeled his (torso's hind legs slipped over tho edge and throw dirt down on; uiq. I heard ono of thom say, 'Ho's killed, lot's go baolt home' I found my horso was not hurt much, so I got on him und rodo down tho track until I could get out; aud wont back to them. My leg was hurting very badly, so I called one of thc boys to mo and told him to catch hold und pull us hurd as ho could. He did so, and my leg slipped book with a pop whioh I thought could havo been heard a hundred yards off. I did not say anything about it. Wo had up light except mutches, and bumed about five boxes of thoa? trying to lind our woy. W? got to liusloy .Station thot night, and somo of thc boys wanted to.go ou at onoo to Bar ton's, house. NO RODDER OR HOUSE THIEF. "I said, 'No, let us wait until day aud go like men; 1 am uo robber or horso thief and what I do I propose to do by day light. They go in like dogs-don't let us do like thom.* V/c stayed at tho station until day light, and a man askod too where I was going. I replied, 'bird huntiug!' That was what tho oflioors had said whon thoy started after mo. I got some ammunition at Isusloy, ond wo started down tho road. Ooo of tho boys tried to prime his old flint arid steel rifle.as ho galloped along, ond ho loft a black trail of powder for half a milo!". (Tito reader will doubtless havo remarked thut our autobiographer has a grim sotiso of humor, and nothing ridioulous esoapp? him even uudor tho most serious circum stances.. THE RAID ON BARTON'S. \y hen wo got nearly to Burton's house wo saw a negro run in, nod as wo oloscd around tho house, I saw Burton steal out and crawl under it. Mrs. Barton carno out wringing her hands and sorcamiug, but I told hor not to bo alarmed os I didn't want lo burt anybody. ? asked whero hor husband was and sho said ho was in Greenville I told her bc was under, the house and asked her to pall him out.

It lind boen raining and ho WA? very muddy; ho came forward, arm-in-arm with his wife, and siid to mo, 'Redmond, I know you havo como to kill mo, and I want to dio right hero at home with my, wife.' I told him that I puly came for my proporty-ray horses and wogon-and hp replied that thoy were in Greenville, but that he would go there and get thora, or I could sond ono of tho boys for them. I told him I hadn't como for any foolishness, and would havo thom or his hide! REDMOND DKM A M DH MS OWN. Ho asked for a chair and started off to got ono, bat I ordered him to stand where lie was. Ho then asked for a pair of dry Kooks, andi, let him send and got them. I thou told him I wanted my money. Ho asked mc how much lt was. 1 suid, you know how much you stolo from, mo-go und get it.' (It was 818G.) Ile said,/'I havo a chook OP tho bunk for 8100.

You took money from mo; poy it book and I will go. Ho oflored to send Mrs. Barton to lvisloy to get tho tuonoy, and I said all right. Ho thon suid I oould go to his stable and take his horses. I replied that I was no horso thief, and did not proposo to go noar his. stable; ho oould go and bring them and givo them to mo iu tho prcscnoo of these wit nossos, if ho desired to pay mo for what ho had taken from mo wrongfully. Ho took two negroes with him, and I told them not to touch tho horses. Ile brought thom out, and oil who saw them said that neither of them was as good os mi?o, but it won tho last chance, 80 1 toole them. Hp called a man who lived noor him to witness that ho gavo up tho horses freely, ns I hod told him thut I wouldn't toko thom on any other torms.

Barton then brought out o Jug of whiskey and offered to treat tho orowd. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hart?n drank & little to show that it was ntl right, and ono or t\vo of thc boys drank with them. I could uot driuk his whiskey after all th*t had passed between UK, but I had sqpie off.' my own, and the rest of tho boys drank it* with mo. THE VISIT TO EA8LEY'S.

Wado Hampton's specoh on the fourth of July fo tho people of Barnwell County was in fact addressed to, tho peoplo of all South Carolina, and. deserves to bo road, and caro* fully read? too, by all Southern Bemoorats. Tho Qovornor admonished his people to stand.by thoir promises of 1870, and ho told them plainly that he nt least means, to dp co. Tho occasion of bis admonition appends to', have been a proposition by tho Barnwell De mo ern ts to reject tho votes of oolorod, Demoorats at their primary meetings. They, appear, to haye Bourbons in Bnrnwol} who', aro' silly enough to think they oatt fling; away inc negro, voters, or at least allow thom no sharp io. preliminaries of an cloe tion, tlfO nomination of candidates; and there appears tn have boen, nomo rascally talk, besides, of, "counting to anybody wo pleased"-of suoo??djlng by fraud in, tho fall, elections,' that is to say. Tho peoplo of South Carolina, white and biaok, aro fortunato in tbo possession of a mau Uko Govornor Hampton, who ?U not only just and honorable himself, but has tho courage to toll his people tho truth. Ho is porfcotly right; in what ito told them. South Carolina is on, her trial, and it is quito possible, if her, peoplo permit the baser sort of politicians to oontrol tho elections, that they shall find themselves flung book into tho woful oondition from which tho wisdom and, oourago of Governor Hampton and tlmsp who stood by him rc? souod thom. Wo aro Bor^ry to think that such suggestions as Governor Hampton alludes to in his admirable address could bo for U moment tolerated nnywheio in tho State; but it i? pleasing to seo that his stern robuko of them and his ropcated and reite rated assertion that ho and thoso who woro chosen to tho. Stato offices, with him mean to redeem to tho. last "iota every premiso m a t?o to tho hincks, were received with re peated and continued applause. It belongs to tho honest and honor obie citizens of South Carolina to stand by thoso pledges and to put down every rascally nttompt to violado or evade thom. Tho honorablo fumo ot their Stato is at stake in this matter. But this is not all; they may rest assured that any attempt to prevont tho hincks from votiug, or from having their votos honestly counted, or to treat thom in any way un justly, will bo oarriod all over tho Nor^heW Statos, nnd will surely bring baok upon,' them tho plague of misrule from which thoy havo but lately osoapod.-JV.
