The Adrministration at Washington has nade a final settlement of the diflicultice in Panama. Col. T. Stobo I"nrrow of Spartanburg has been tendered a position in the Treasury Department at Washington, with a salary of $2,000. England and Russia have about coio to an agreement for pence. Dont fill the missing places in your cotton rows with corn or peas, ;uno cotton seed; for cotton, will be worth all it will bring yet. On the 28th ult. Mr. John 11. Harrell of Georgetown, died a most horrible death, from the effeots of hydrophobia. He was bitten on thehand last February, but felt no pain therefrom until two days before his heath. As the Georgia Central has taken charge of the Savannah Valley Railroad, and will soon gobble up the Grenville and Laurens, the Cumberland (lap Road becomes a greater necessity than ever, and its chances for an early completion well nigh assured. Greenville will soon have another now stroot in the western part of the oity, and 8 a eonsequence, several new stores and dwellings. Getting ready for the (I. & L. Railroad. At Johnston's, in Edgeflold countv, on May 1st, a severe hail and wind smtorn passed over the Bidge necetion, doing fearful damago to cotton and corn. The cottona that was up was totally destroyed by the hail. The f4rmers are hunting seed to replant. On the 3d instant. Mr. P. B. McKelvey, who lives near Fork Shouls in Greenville County, had his house nccidently des- 1 troyed by fire. Most. of the, furnituro t was saved. Georgia girls have been performing some wonderful feats, and now a Georgia cow desires to follow suit. Tn Waynes boro the said cow, seeing a pot of peas cooking in the yard, went. up to it, lifted it off the fire with her horn, waited until the pottago cooled, then quietly convert ed the sanie to her own us. On the first day of May there was some violent weather in various portions of the State. In Columbia, there was wind, rain and hail stones ait large as a pigeon egg. One reason a mani was removed from the Treasury D)epartnment at Washing. ton was, that ho wvas born in Vermnont, app)ointedl from Virginia, aInd votedi in Maryland. R1ev. A. 1. Lee, a well knowni Methi odist minister, died fromt p)nmnia in Olrangeburg eounmty recen1tly. TIhae E!ection. From thet notien pubilished in another column it wiill beO seen that tihe elect ioni which w~as to have taken~ place on thte th instantt hlas b)teen postponed to the 23d instant. Sonme olposition to the sub scription has sprung upm ont the ground that the former notice was not suthictly explicit on the stubject of interest, and the County Conunissioners, dlesirintg to have the matter fairly presented to all, have with(u.rawn the former notion anid conse quently changed the day of eltect ion. It was the undelrsotandinmg ot thme peti tioners that the b)ombd were nmot to draw interest until the road should be0 comn .pee to this point, and it is proper thr, t the notice of the election shouldi conlfrm to the prayer of the pectitioners. T1hiis will no doubt be gratif*ying to those wlm are opposed to tihe subscription, asi they will have more time in which to get ready for the fray. Those who are in favor of the road have nothing to lose by thme delay. It is just, a plain businleIs proposition). Will it be a good invest. ment for Pickons Township to subscribe $10,000 tol this road, tto be paid in annual installments rining for twenty years, after the uompilletion of! the road to this point? Those who think it will not be beneficial wvill talk magaist it, and thus try to keep this part of the county' in the back wvoods. T1hose who can look hey ond the preset interest of self to thme good of their children will advocate it. .A.-Progresssive County.

Kennedy,S'eq.=General Thom as Brandon-Miss AnnEennedy, a Heroine of the Rovolution-Sam, Clowney, and others. I had published some time MincE in the "Signal" at Louisville Miss., s brief sketch, entitled, "Miss Ann Ken. nedy, a Heroine of the Revolution,' in which there were a few errors. I now propose to re-writo it and correct those errors and make a few addi tional remarks. William Kennedy, Sr., father of Miss Ann Kennedy, was born in Virginia where his father had set tled on his arrival froll Ireland. On reaching majority he emigrated to South Carolina, where he married Mary Ann, a sister of General Thom as Brandon of tnini county, S. C., who was a soldier of the Revolution. After the marriage of Win. Kennedy, Sr., he settled on Brown's Creek about three miles from Union Court House, where ho died at an advanced age. When the Revolutionary war began he espoused the cause of the Colonies and joined the rebel army as a private soldier, and never would accept oflice during the war, although he was re garded as one cf the leading men of his county during the war. lie was in all the principal bat ties and skiir miislsin fought. in the unortliern part of South Carolina and in North Car olina. lie was wounded in t le wrist and thigh at Stallions in York couity S. C.,---was in the battles of Ninetv Six, Cowpens, Blackstock's, King's Mountain, and others. lie w:s re garded as the best shot. with at rifle of any mltan in that section of the coun try, and whenever the well known re port of his rifln was hleard, it was enerally romnarked, "thrte is atnother ory less." During t he war while on visit to hi'; faunily the tories attemip ed to capture hit. Ie was at work n his shop when the tories endeav rel to sutrirotmid him, they gut his tat: but he successfully made a pre ipitous flight to the nearest thicket unlid a shower of bullets, that wthis led around his head. After the tories eft he returned to view his pil tigedl house, and 1'id his family a tsty iadieu and returned hat le:s to he armuv. Wim.

'Whien thle Revolutionary 'War c0)IlommeedI, hi ha i a broad sword fashioned.t out o a saw mill saw, with which he coub el'at the head of a bulloc0k.

Stallions, etc. A fter the close of the war, the hom< of the Tory Fletchall, at Fair Foress Shoals, wats conihscated and sold1 when General B3randon became thi purchaser. to which place he muov and spent.the remainder of his life. He was one of the Justices of the Court; County Ordinary; General of the Militia and member of the Logis. lature. He died on Fair Forest on the 6th of February 1802, and was buried with military honors two miles Northeast of Union ( ourt House. Africa, his faithful servant, who ac companied him through all the hard ships, trials and privations of the Revolutionary War, was (luring the funeral procession, mounted on horse back, dressed in the General's mili tary uniform, and accompanied his remains to its final resting place amid the beating of druus and the firing of guns. Lyman C. Draper in his "King's Mountain and its Heroes" says that "On the retreat after the battle of King's Mountain Col. Brandon (ii3 covered that one of the tories who had been carrying two of the capt- 1 ured guns had dodged out of the i ranks into a hollow sycamore tree by the road side, and that the Colonel 1 diagged him from his hiding place 2 and Collplet cll hacked hin to pieces with his sword." 1 Judge O'Nil in his "Annals of Newherrv" says: "Capt. 'hilemon t Wiaters captlred i Tory who was pe- ] culiirly onl)lxio,is to Col. 3randon. l After the skirinish, when the prison ers were presented to Col. Brandon he, oil seeing Water's prisoner, drew his sword and was in the act of run- i nin; uon11 him to slay him, when Wateis threw himnself between them and aillnoilnced to his superior (Col. .) that the prisonler was ind-r his protection an(d "should not be harm ed." The purpose of vengence was not abandoned, and Captain Waters wa4 perlptoriky ordered to stand out of the wa? "Africa," said the Colonel to his servant, ''bring mue my rifle." No 50011(1' said than done. Waters with his rile ill his hand and an eye t hat never quailed, saiid to the Colonel, "now strike the prisoner the instant you do I will shoot you dead."

Thel] toiejs wereo so enXsp)erated at not, fintding~ the father and birothers of Anni at hiomie, that they~ soon~ began pi lnderinig the house.

Th'ley had takeni nearly all the( bed12 efo ihles execept a blanket which Ann's moilthIer had folded up, placed in a chair and1( w~as sit ting onI it. A tory siezed 1h(ld2 of it and1( at~ tempted )to drawhVi it fronm iunder the old lady. She begged him not to take the last blanket she had for her .:::lf and( cihbireni.

This s(o pr.ovok{ed htimt that he snattchedl a goun from the hianid oif one of his comlradles and swor~e lie would shoot her, but the Captaini interposed and prevented him from committing the ras4h act andl advised him never ,to kill as b)rav'e a woman as she was. I The tory then rain ito the house, hearth,sworehe would burn the ;i.1s and attempted to set fire to a p, , flax in the corner of the house; moau Ann interfered 'and threw him out of the house. The Captain then reques ted him not to burn the house as they had got everythin-g tht was worth taking; so the tory threw the fire brand at her with all vengeance, which struck her on the hand break ing the bones thereof, which iuage her a cripple for life. Feariug that other tories might not plrove so len ient to hor wounded cousi'l, should they make another visit to their house, she made a litter and with somle of the family, placed him on it id carried him to the forest where 3he made him a bed in a fallen tree op where s1h( dressed his wounds md(l wited upon him until he recov rel, which was some three or four Neeks. Not long after this the neigh )orhood was so annoyed by the to. ies that a fow resolute whig women tssei oled together and wrote a note o General Morgan, who was thcn tattioied near the Pacolet Springs in )ar tanbuirg, to selt a company to Julionl to subdue the tories; but no mre in:nifested a willingnoss to be he bearer of the note, until M iss Ann Kennedy st epped up and volunteered ier services to carry it.
