Early this morning the extensive cotton set
and fertiliser mills here, which were Uie I
South, rave thoso at Columbia, S. C.,
bnrned. The fire is reported to have br
out in the engine-room, and thence spread
a flash to both oil mills, the^il storage t
houses and the seed storage sheds. The b
* ings were both of brick and covered h
block. The water supply was meagre,
fire was very fierce, though there was al
no wind, nnd in two hours the mills wet
ruins. Only ono warehouse was saved,
a large quantity of fertilizers. The Ricln
and Danville depot and warehouses neat
were on fire, but wero raved.
The new oil mill was built last year,
capacity was twenty-four hundred gallons d
while the capacity of the fertilizer mill
seventy-five tons daily. Last autumn the
were required by the Cotton Seed Oil 1
which rper.tted them day and night, to
full capacity. The lois is $60,000 end th

iT CAROLINA WOMAN OF THE
LUTION.
ji.ttiY anr.r.
In December, 1773, * family, emigrating
from Autrim County, Ireland, landed in
Charlestoq, and, remaining till the following
March, travelled thence in a wagon to the
book country, stopping, after a journey of
three-~weelf8, at-Jaoksin'sCreek, in Fairfield
District* ; li jrfa the houeehold of John Dunlap,
who marfTea Mrs. Grey, a widow with four
children, in the old country. Mary the young,
est ef theeeyJ^Vten, was born in 1758.
The proceeds ot a farm in Ireland, with industry
and management, comfortably settled
the family?their home being a spacious log
cabin?and the marriage of the eldest daughter
with James McCreight, of Winnsboro', i
shortly followed. When the mother's health
failed, Mary Grey became housekeeper.
The name of Grey is cherishod in popular
remembrance throughout Fairfield Distriot by
the inhabitants who now eqjoy the blessings
purchased by their toils and sufferings in the
cause of religions and politloal liberty. But
history makes no mention of the services of
that family. It is a worthy tAsk, therefore, to
make some record?though aa humble one?of
me mem 01 patriots who deserve praise, not
ouly on account of their horoism and so'f-sacrifice,
but their association with names illustrious
in the annals of tho State of South Carolina. I
In 1776, when tho eounlry was called on to
defend the city of Charleston, Danlap and McCreight,
with the brothers William and Robert
Grey, entered the army of the patriots. They
wtre engaged later in the same year in the
Snow Campaign against the Cherokee Indians.
While the men were absent on service, the
whole burden of the out door farm labor fell on
the women, for there were then no negroes In
that region. Often the families in the defenceless
settlements were startled by the news that
the stealthy and fearful Cherokees were ooming
upon them. One evening, on the ooeaslon of
an alarm, Mary Grey and her sisters fled
from the house, and lay oonoealed in a denso
wood the whole night. ?.
It was a happy time when the father and
brouici, . _ far ? brief
period. On their return from the defence or
Charleston, they were accompanied by a young
lisutenaut of engaging manners and a spirit
kindled by the lore of ttc odem. This offieer,
Alexander Gaston, and Mary Gray were interested
in each other at first sight, end their
preference ripened into a deep attachment.
The times permitted so lovers' daliiaooe ; but
. their love was mutually acknowledged, and
they entered into a solemn engagement to be
united as soon as the wars wore over. In
those days,' says Mr. Stinson?who fiirnishoe
this memoir?'lucre seems to have had little
dominion over the minds of men or women ;
engagements of this kind were of tho heart,'The
plighted maiden's hopes of happiness with
her betrothed were linked with her prayera for
the great cause in which be was fighting. She
worked day and night, apioning and weaving,
and attending to the farm, having but little assistance
from her step-father, whose health bad
failed entirely after three month's service in
the Snow Campaign. The labor of her handn
supplied bread for the family, and elotbing for
her brothers when they would return home In
their rags.. IUf unwearied toil WM sweotoued
by trust iu her lover's faith, and anticipations
of a bright future with the return or peace.
Alas for the fallaoy of human hnn.- i
When the Gneye flret entered the army, CapUin
James Phillips fu the commending offleer.
Phillip# drselted hie troops, end joined
the royalisis.ijAlUe hie defection, Robert
Orey entered into the artillery serriee. Daring
the battle of Fort Moultrie, he was statiened
onjbe Charleston wahrf nil day, never lasting a
particle of food. When the fight was over,
and be returned weary and exhausted to bis
tent, he found that one of his comrades, who
had excused himself from duty in the morning
on the plea of illness, had devoured all his
rations, no that be was compelled to fast until
*?he next day. Ho was the orderly sergeant of
hie company. Not long aftorwards when be
was firing a cannon, it burst, and injured him
o severely as to disablo him forever from active
service.
William Grey, after Philip's departure, joined
the company of Ceptain Robert Ellison os first
lieutenant. He served in the Indian war under
General Pickens, at the battle of Fort Moultrio,
in the campaign against 8t. Augustine, remarkable
only for the suffering of the troops ; and
was engaged in almost every battle fought in
a it. n?i? t_!_ .1 j __ %
tun ovutu. uuioa nu nis cnosen incuu, ana
both were lieutenants in llie regular army.
Both were remarkable for their brave spirit
and love of the pomp and show of war ; their
uniforms were rich in materinl and splendid in
decoration, nnd their three-cornered hats were
adorned with tall nnd waving plumes. The
soldiers remarked that Gaston's uniform made
him two conspicuous when the regulars made
the charge on the British works at Savannah,
in which he was wounded. At the opening of
the campaign of 1780, these two young officers
were again in the field. After the fall of
Charleston, when the whole province lay under
the paw of the British lion, they were among
the handful of Whigs who stood unsubdued on
the upper edge of the State, on their return
from North Carolina, whither they had been
driven as refugees, and ready to contend for
the ground, inch by inch. In June, 1780,
their camp was pitched on Clem's Branch, on
the upper edge of Lancaster District. It was
hcrethatthey were found by General Sumter.
The heartfelt, thrilling joy of this meeting
may be Imagined. These officers had been engaged
for years in the same sacred, though
now drooping cause. All were driven from
their homes; their beloved ones left to the
mercy of the invader. Sumter had been forced
to fiy, while the enemy were wreaking their
vengeance on his defenceless household, destroying
his property, plundering his goods,
And hit miner hta hnn?t? in *r ?
Samter and the family, turned out Shelterless,
bad sought the ttf>epitalU|^of a family in tlio
country. Solicitude fo safety of these
helpieM once, and indignation nt tiirir spoilers,
stimulated the patriots to immediate action.
General Sumter jdected a few man, among
whom were William Grey nnd Alexander Gaston,
to accompany him to the lower country,
bring away his family, and punish the destroyer*.
At Wrihgt's Bluff, en Blnck River, they encountered
a body of British and Loyalists, and
were forced to retreat across the river. Gaston
had taken the small-pox, and, being wet
while crossing, became too ill to proceed,, and
waa left at the house of McConncll. Ilo" died
in a few days,
At a curious in&ident, it may bo mentioned
that hia splendid uniform, carefully preserved
by the Gaston family, waa altered into a wedding-coat,
nine years afterwards, for his youngest
brother, Joseph Gaston. The coat was
made by John Hemphill, who then followed
the trade of a tailor, but having, by industry
to bis nailing, aoeamuleted money, abtafned a
classical education, studied divinity in the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian church, nnd
ranked among the ablest dlvtncs of the day.
The anguish of Mary Grey at the news of
her lover's death may not bo described. The
lapse of twelve years could not soothe tier
grief so that she would liaten to any proposal
of marriage. And, to the latest period of her life
the mention of Alexander Gaston's name would
bring tear* to her eyes, while she repeated :
'Yes; we were to have been married at the
close of the war.'
During the summer of 1780, probably at the
surprise of Samter, oa Fishing Creek, * William
Gray was taken prisoner, and sent to Camden
jail. He was afterwards liberated on parole,
but not allowed to go more than three milts
from Winnsboro'. He stayed with bis brother"*
in-law McCreight, where Mary was most of
the time, tkt British being encamped at Winnsboro'.
Her family had been robbed several limes
by the Tories, but she wss sccustomed to say ;
'I had no fears. My mind was fixed unchangeably
to the cause.' She looked on the enemies
of her country as the causa of her own sorrows.
The British always pretended to pay for
what they took from the country people, giving
certificates, which, they said, would be redeemed
by the king's agents ; which, however,
the Whigs did not ilka to ree?i??. " On-and occasion,
when a party of tM etferoJr'-foW most
of the provisions from Dunlap, be requested
the soldiers to leave him a few dozens of oats
for seed. Ou their refusal, he observed: 'I
am now satisfied you don't intend to stay long,
or you would want to let ns plant again.'
When, at another time, they had plundered
McCrright's barnyard, Mrs. McCreight saw
them obaslng her poultry, and, calling after
' " " '" 1 ??lt vou take my geesa T'
saved her flook from spoliation.

were quartered upon the inhabitants of the
surrounding country, two being placed in
Mary's family. She waa compelled to give np

upon the intruders, who were suffering much
With the disease, and appeared to be clergymen.
They seetqed repvctint for having left tlieir
charge at k&ad, and acknowledged the kindness
ahown them by those whom they had
come to injure, and who gever them help like
the good Samaritan.
On Cristmas morning several cannons wero
tired, after the morning gun. Afary Grey asked
a soldier's wife what it meant. The woman
answered that they were keeping Christmas,
as they always did wIicd they were in a friend's
country. 'And do you really think you are in
a friond'a country ?' asked Jl^e patriotic
maiden. 'Certainly,' was the reply. 'South
Carolina is a conquered country, and belongs
to the king.' 'Does it?' asked Mary. 'Well,
we shell see.' She would never go to see the
army on parade, saying, 'I have no wish to
see the enemies of my country.'
JLt,this time, a few pafriofs of the upper
districts were planning an aftock oa the camp
of Lord Cornwallia. Robert Csrr, sergeant in
Colonel Davios' company of dragoons, mads

with William Grey, who iron! next day to the
borough, counted the troops on |nrade, observed
the meaos of defence, strength of posilion,
nnd everything necessary to bo known,
and made bis report to Carr. Tho enterprise
failed because the Chester men could not muster
a suflicieut force to warrant the hope of a
victory.
The Reverend William Martin, who
had been imprisoned since early in June, 1780,
at Rocky Mount and Camden, w is now bromrht
into the presence of Lord Cornwalli*. This
remarkable man might liavo been called the
Knox of our Revolution, bike the Scottish
reformer, he 'feared not the face of clay,' and
his influence had contributed not a little to the
spirit and resolution of the patriots. He stood
before his lordship, his gray locks uncovered,
hat in band, his form erect, and his eyes fixed
ou Corntvallis, while the cknrgcs against him
wcro formally stated. 'You stand charged,'
said bis lordship, 'with preaching rebellion
from the pulpit. You, an old man, a minister
of the gospel of peace, to be guilty of stirring
up rebellion, and that, too, against your lawful
sovereign, King George tho Third. Answer
what you have to say to theso charges.'
Martin bowed respectfully, and, lifting his
head, fixed his piercing eyes on tho face of his
judge: 'I am happy,' ho answered, 'to appear
before you. For many months I bate been
held in chains for preaching what I believe to
be the truth. I hope your lordship will bear
in mind?indeed, I say it with sincerity?that?
as a man, I rather love King George, and
owe him nothing but good-will. 1 ain not unacquainted
with his private character, i was
raised in Scotland, educated iu her literary
and theological schools, settled iu Ireland,
where I spent my prime of life, and emigrated
to this country about seven years bygone. I
have preached what I believe to be the doctrines
of the Reformation and the creed of my
people. King George was bound (o protect
bis subjects lie lias failed to do this, protection
and allegiance go together, and jour lordship
will remember oar doctrine is, that the
subject ought not to obej those who do not protect
their civil and religious liberties. Tour
large armies and tba unoffending peoplo here
slain in cold blood show, as I hold it, that jour
king has rebelled against these colonies, and
thej owe him no allegiance. The Declaration
of Independence is a faithful commentary on
the old faith of the Covenanters.' Having
spoken his mind, the sturdy old Scotchman expressed
himself willing to abide the pleasuro of
his lordship.
About the same litne, a conspiracy was on
foot to take the life of Cornwallis, who was aocustomcd
to take his morning and evening ride
along the road. John and Minor Winn conr#nl..l
- ? - >
but, before his lordship appeared, they were
discovered by same loyalists, cnpturcd, and
brought into the borough. They wore condemned
to bo huDg at noon, and placed - under
guard in the wood, tho boshes, which has boon
cut away to get firewood, being piled in heap8
around them. Minor, distressed at the near
prospect of death, prevailed on the guard to
send for Martin, tho minister, lie came, and
they knelt in devout prayer under the shadows
of a brushpile, pleading earnestly for divine
mercy till the fatal hour struck. The galliws
stood in view, but tho conspirators at
moroent were' marcbod to the hJa tfquarlc^^r
Cornwallia, and graeionsly pardoned, kvry
Grey stood in the door to wateb the melancholy
prosession conveying her neighbors to death,
and was able afterwards to explain the mystery
of their pardon and tho release of Martin,
which' the ycung men attributed to miraculous
interposition called down by the minister's prayers.
The mercy was owing to the interoession
of Colonel John Philips?called Tory Philips?
who had known Martin in Ireland. Justice
has not been done to tho character of this man,
whose wealth and aristocratic education imbued
him with Loyalist principle, but who was
conscientious, kind end generous. While the
British were in possession of Winnsboro, it
is said he was constantly occupied in acts of
kindness to the Whigs, saving their lives and
propsrty, None of his acquaintances were
put to dea<h.
After the departure of the British troops,
Philips was sole commander of the loyalists in
bis district, and he formed his camp at Caldwell's,
not far from the Wateree or Mount Olivet
church. They maintained, with no little
pride, the'control of the country. But a surprise
from a party of Whigs completely routed
thorn. One poor Tory was killed in the loft,
where he had bid himself, and refused to com*
down. Philips, though he had a pistol in each
u?uu, was i?*eu prisoner, and carried to Cam- I
den. Here he was tried for crimes probably I
committed by bis men, and condemned to be
bung. The Whigs of Fairfield who had receiv- I
ed favors from him joined in a petition for his I
lire, and his sentence was commuted to banish-1
ment.. Thus compelled to sue for and receive I
i his life from the hands of his political enemies, I
bis example formed a striking contrast to that
of Martin-, .
Another Loyalist camp, near the mouth of I
Wateree Creek, was surprised af'or a night of I
- careless revelry, for suppoeiog the country wV i
dued they slept without sentinels. A few rase- I
lute Whigs crept up stealthily on their hands I
and knees to the place where tho guns were I
Stsoked, and carried tlietn off". Thin aeoern-1
Wished, they posted themselves around the I
enmp, raised a terrific yell, and fire-1 off the |
I mi s in rapid succession. The startled Tories,
n d r.g their csmp surrounded and their guns I
tak eu away, and confused with the darkness,
(lie sharp peals of the rifles, and the yoliing of I
the enemy, 'with one nccord uiado for the I
creek, and jumping dawn the bank, swam I
heroesv It was n cold night, and much ice had
formed on tlio edge of tho stream. The Whigs I
took posscsrion of tho camp, throw the firearms I
Jnto the deep water of tho creek, and long be- I
Tore satirise were on their return to tho upper
districts.
; JSot t..aoy of the patriots romained in the I
neighborhood after tho^memorable surprise ef I
General Sumter, though a few ventured baok, I
and lay out in the wools. One day they sent a
young man, William Lewis, to procure soma I
provisions. He found n potato-patch that I.
promised well, but, whilo digging, ho vfas
seised by some Tories, and carried off, wilheut
an opportunity to send word to his p&r^y, Thau*
was in the yard a cedar trough, ,which tlUy
filled with corn, then slipped their htrte*l>ridUe
and let thorn feed.
vtj>:
The hostess got the dinner, and made preparation
to release the prisoner. She had directed
her little eon to put tho bridle on ths best i
horse at the trough, which he did, ntfl, then
lying down in the corner of tho fence, pretended
totie fast asleep. While the Tories were
discussing their meal, the matron beckoned to
Lewis to come into the back room, nod gel
something to eat. She then showed him the
window, and told him what arrangements she
had made for his escape, returning with more
provisions to her guests. Presently, the
whole party was alarmed by the tramp of a
horse's feet, as he passed up the lane. They
rushod to the door, and after tbeirflying prisoner,
but failed to overtake him. The boy was

ing of the mailer. Lewis remained roroe three
months in North Carolina before lie durst venture
borne. When be was afterwards about to
marry the widow of Captain John Tuylor, some
of his enemies endeavored to prcvonl tbe match
by charging him with stealing tbe horse on
which he had escaped, but, when Mrs. Taylor
was mode fully acquainted with the circumstances,
she looked upon it rather as a recommendation.
Lieutenant William Grey removed t<
Georgia, and, after a few years, to Tennessee
but died on the way, leaving a widow and fam
ily. Robert died a few years after the close o
the war. Mary was induced to give up het
resolution never to marry by Hugh Barkley, i
young Irishman, in 1792. Sho was the last
surviving member of her family, and her bus
band died in ISM, She live 1 afterwards with
her son and daughter. In her ninety-third
year she enjoyed remarkable health, retained
her mental faoultics in unusual vigor. The
Bible was her daily companion, and she read
chiefly religious books, though sho always took
a decided interest in tbe politics of the country,
read the newspapers, and exprcssod her opin
ions ireeiy oil me questions or tbe day. She
expressed great contempt for the cowardice ol
runaways during the Mexicau war. "Qui
days" she would say, "were the good oh
times of log-cabins, and training io
the Word of God and the catechism
The peoplo then know their rights, and dated
to maintain them, and made no falso issues."
Mrs. Barkley was intimnte with Marj
Johnston, another admirable matron, mentionec
in "The Women of tho IleTolution." To the
latest period of her life she was skillful witl
her needle, nnd spent much time in sewing
In person, she was of medium height and large
her full face showing not many furrows, hei
snow white locks shading a high nnd massivi
forehead, her eyes of piercing brightness, am
full of intelligence. She was lively and fond o
cheerful conversation, entering with interes
into the mirth of those nround her, and esteem
ed by all who knew her, as one of the mos
interesting of women, considering her grew

IIaie Pullixo Match.?About forty mem
