MARION AM? HIS M HIS. Lydia MackSjr Bud Col. Tarlrtou. Humer i ?la?-izine. Io 17S-? South Carolina was completely overrun by the British. Lord Cornwallis held quiet pos-e-sion of Charleston, had defeated Gatesand DeKalb at Camden, driven Marion to the swamp- of l'ce Dee, scattered thc force- of Sumter, ami e.Mab li-hed his head(ji:,irters in thc Waxhaws, on the border of North Carolina, while 'J ar et?n had his on the Hanging 1: k Creek, about thirty mi t- North yf Cam den. Davie alone wa* left with a.-ma ! force on the Wert bank of the Catawba, making occasional sort:-- to hara-- the outpost? of the British. Thc Scotch-Irish and thc llugeuols of South Carolina were mostly \> bigs, or rebel-, The English colonists were di Tided; the majority were Whigs; but there w ere a goodly number of loyal men among them wb >conscientiously espoused the cause ni the m Iber o untre, :>mJ were called Tories. lancaster county was one of the strong? holds of the Whigs. The Mcllwaio?, True-dales, Douglass1 s, Cunninghams, Twittys, McDonalds, McMulk-ns, Mack eys, and others of Scotch Irish origin oc cupied and held the Southern portion of Lancaster, and Chas. Mackey wa? their acknowledged leader ; while the Craw fords, Dunlaps, Jacksons (General Jack son was then sixteen years old), Whites, Masseys, Dody*, Cure-tons, and other? of thc haine stock held the Wazbans, in the Northern sections of the county. The Whigs had always made Lancaster too hot for thc Tories, sud had ruthlessly ' driven them out of the county to -eek companionship and sympathy wherever they might find it. Lut the advent of j thc British turned the tide completely, and now thc Tories with Tarleton's aid, 1 drove the Whigs from Lancaster, s unt- ' across the Catawba to join Davie, and some lo the Tee Dec lo join M arion. Charles Mackey, as thc lender of bil band, had made himself very obnoxious to the Tories, and they impatiently awaited a time of vengeance. Ile was n man of medium size, very active and energetic, a fine horseman, a j splendid shot, impulsive, hot-headed, often running unnecessary risks, and | doing dare devi) deeds. No work wa loo hazardous fur him. Lydia Mackey, his wife, was a woman of good common sense, with a clear bead and fine judgment, and in coolness and ?elf-posession far superior to her impetu ous husband. They had a young family of two or three children, and Charles Ma-key had not seen or beard from them for several weeks. Their home was not more than two and a half miles from Tarleton's camp on the Hanging Kock Creek. He knew very well that it would be hazardous for hun to return to his home so near to Tarli lou's headquarters, but hie nnxiety became so intense on account of his wife's peculiar condition that he could no longer remain in doubt about it. So he. lautiously in ado his way home, where be unwisely loitered for a week, and during this time he bini thc temerity to enter Tarleton's lines more than once in search bf information which would bc valuable to his country's defenders. Charles Mackey's house was a double log cabin, with cultivated (latches ol corn and potatoes on either side of thc lune leading to lb? front, while at the rear waa a kitchen gnrden of half an acre or more, extending back to a huckleberry swamp, which was almost impenetrable to mau or beast. This swamp covered an urea of len or fifteen acres arid was sur rounded by quagmire from len to thirty feet wide, thus making practically an island. It was entered by jumping from tussock to tussock of moss-covered lumps of mould a foot or two in diameter, und rising six or eight inches above thc pitch black semi jelly liko mire, which shook in every direction in passing over il. A plunk of fence served ns a temporary draw bridge, which was pulled into the ?Vamp after crossing over. When the county was infested by Tories Charles Muckey sp-nt his days in tho swamp, if ont scouting. At night he Ventured home. He hud good watchdogs, and they gave the ularm when any ono approached, whether by day or by night. If at night, he would immediately lift a loose plank in the floor of his bedroom, drop through ou tho ground, crawl out in the rear, then ruu thirty or forty yards across the garden, gun in hand, and dis appear in the swamp, pulling his fence railing draw-bridge in after him. There was no approach to tho houso from the rear, and his retreat was always effected with impunity. Charles Mackey had been at home now about a week, and was on thc eve of leav ing with some valuable information for tho rebel generals, gained by his night prowlings in ami about the headquarters of Colonel Tarleton. Hm early in a Juno morning (an hour or two before day) his usually faithful watchdogs fui led to give warning of tho approach of strangers, and the first notice of their preeueo was their shouting "Helle I" in front of ihe house. Mrs. Mackey jumped out of bed, threw open the window shutter, stuck -out her head, surveyed the hali' dozen armed horsemen carefuliv, nnd said, "Who's there?" "Friends. Is Charley Mackey at home?" She promptly answered, "No." In the meantime Charley had raised the loose plank in the floor, and was ready to make for tho swamp in the rear, when, Btopping for'a moment to be sure' of the character of. his visitors, he heard the spokesman say : "Well, wo aro very Bony indeed, for there was a big light yesterday ou Lynch's Creek between General Marion and the British, and we routed the-redcoats completely ; and we bavo boen sent to Gencra'l Davie at Landsford witb orders to unite with Marion at Flat Rook as soon as possible, and then attack Tarleton. We don't know the way to Landsfurd, and came by for Charley io pilot ua." Mrs. Mackey was always cool and col lected, and she said she was very sorry her husband was not at home. Hut her husband was just the reverse; hot-headed and impetuous. This sudden news of victory, after so many reverses, was so in accordance with bia wishes that he mad ly rushed out into the midst of the mounted men, hurrahing for Marion and Davie, and shouting vengeance on the redcoats and Tories; and he began to shake hands enthusiastically ??ta the "boys," and to ask particulars about the fight, when the ringsider of the gang coolly said: "Well, Charley, old feflow, we've Bet a good many traps for you, but never bave baited 'em right till now. You are our prisoner." And they marched, him off just as ho was, without hat or coat, without allow ing bim a moment to say a parting word tonia poor wife. .It waa now nearly daylight and they ordered bim to pilot them to Andy Mcll ' wain'?, with the hope of capturing him too. But he was bot at borne. Then be waa compelled to pilot them to James Truesdale'a, and he.was not at home. From there they went to Lancaster vil lage, and '.hei. to Ooh Tarleton! head quarters, where Charley Mackey was tried by courtmartiar, and sentenced to death asaitpy. The next day Mrs- Mackey, not know ing what had happened, gathered some /rult and eggs, ant*, with a basket well filled, she mad? her way to Col. Tarie: ton's camp. Hucksters wcro reaQily ad mitted when they had auch luxuries to dispone of. On getting witbln the lines abe inquired tho way to Colonel Tarleton's marquee, which was chown her. The Colonel waa on parade, bat a young offi cer, who'wai writing, asked her to-be seated.' After ho had finished, he said, "You liare nornething for raie I pre- ' surnc." J She replied that she L^d eggs and fruit. Ile gladly t'.-ok what she iiad and ' p.Md for them." She frankly declare! that lier ba-ket of fruit waa only a pre text to get lo tee Colonel Tarleton ; thal abe wa- anxious to see iiiru iu peison ou business of great importance, She then explained tue capture of her husband, and that M.e wished to get him released if be were still alive, for abe did not know but wi.at they had hung hun lo the near est tree they" rame to. The officer told ber that the Colonel * i-? on parade and wi u!d not return f>r fwd hourn-not un til be came in .?or his mid day meal. M rs. Mackey wa-* a comely woman of superior intelligence, and -he soon inter e-ted the young officer in ber 'ad condi tion. He* expressed for her thc deepest sympathy, told her that ber husband had been tried and sentenced to death at cun r:-e to-morrow morning ; and that he feared there wai no hope <.( reprrive, an the ev:.len".- given against him by the J oriet was of the most positive kind, ile told her that Colonel Tarleton was as crud and unfeeling a* be was brave and that he would promise her anything to get rid of her, hut he would fulfill noth ing. . However," said be, "I will prepare the necc-rary document for your hes baud's release, lilting in the blank*, no that it ?ill only be necessary to get Col. Tarleton'* signature. Hut 1 must again frankly say that this is almost hopeless." It was evident to the most superficial ub-crver that Mr-. Mackey would *o.,n become a mother, and this probably bad something todo iu enlisting the kindly sympathy of 'bc brave young Officer. At twelve o'clock Col. Tarleton rode up, li-moun'.ed, and entered the adjoining tent. "You 111 u n *. wai', till he dine-,'' ra:<l the officer. "Another charge will then be brought forth and when lie comes out to mount, you can approach him, and not until then." At ihe expected lime thc tali, boyish looking, clean shaved, handsome young Tarleton came out of his tent, and as he neared his charge he was confronted l?y the heroic Lydia Mackey, who in a few words made known the object of h?-r nsit. lie quickly answered that be waa in a great burry, aud could nut at that lime slop to consider her ca-e. She said '.he case was urgent, that her husband iiad been condemned lo die at sunrise to morrow morning, and that he alono had ihe power to nave hi< life. He replied : 'Very well, my good woman, when 1 return later in the day I will inquire in to thc matter." Saying this he placed Iiis foot in IJ* stirrup, and sprang up, but before bc could throw his righ?. leg over die saddle, Mrs M.- ' ey caught bun by tho coat and jerki l him down. He .urned upon ber w ith a scowl, and she rn ?lored him lo grant her request. lie was greatly discomfit! cd, ami ltigrt'.v said be would look into the cse ju his return. Ile then attempted again Lo monist, when she dragged hun down a tecond lime, begging linn iu eloquent [erma lo spare the life of ber husband. Hut tut my good woman,." i*aid he, boil mg with rage. "I?.? you know what you ire doing? liegone ! I'll attend to thin vt my convenience ; not sooner." So saying, he tried a third lime tn mount, and a third time Lydia Mackey erked bim to the ground. Holding by ibo sword's scabbard anti falling on her ni ees, she cried, "Draw your sword and nay me and ruy unborn babe, or give mo he life of my husband, f>r I *h?ill never let you go lill you kill me or sign thin locumenl"-which she drew from her a.sum and held up before bis face. Tarleton trembled, was as palo ns a :o rp.se, und turning to the young officer, fvho Blood mar by intently watching thc iccne, he said, "Captain where is thin Amman's husband ?" He answered, "Under guard in youth r tent." "Order him lo be brought here." And ?OOH Charley Mackey stood before the valiant Tarleton. "?fir," stiid he, "you liavo been convicted of bearing nrmn against li in Majesty's government. Worse -you have been convicted of being a qty ; you have dared lo enter my linen in disguise as a spy and you cannot deny il. Hut for the sake of your wife, I will give you u full pardon un condition that you will take an onlh never again to bear itrms ngninnt the king's government." "Sir," Haiti Charles Mackey, in the firmest tones, "I cannot accept pardon on these tenn?. It must bc unconditional, tir I must die." And poor Lydia Mackey cried oui, "And I too must die ;" and on her knees, holding ou to Colonel Tarleton, sho pleaded with such fervcr mid eloquence tbnt Tarleton seemed for a moment to hesitate, and then, turning to the young captain, he said, with quivering lips, and ina voice choked with emotion, "Cap tain, for (rod'ssake, sign my name to thin paper, aud let this woman go." With this Lydia Mackey Hank to the ground exhausted, and Colonel Tarleton mounted his charger anti galloped oil', Jotiblless happier for having spared tho life of the heroic Lydia Mackey's hus band. Lydia Mackey ir, her old age was a Tine talker. A, hoy of ten years old, I beard her tell this story with such feel ing and earnestness that great tears rolled down her aged cheek to mingle with those of her little grandchildren gathered around her knees. The name of Tarleton was execrated n South Carolina till a very late period, [hit the Lydia Mackey episode shows .hat ho had a heart not wholly steeled igainnt the noble feelings of humanity. The b'lHtory of our Revolutionary War :an iiardly present a moro interesting tableau than that of Lydia Mackey beg ging the lifo of her husband at tho bambi if the brave and bloody Tarleton. It ia lltogether probable that the Lydi.- Mack ?v victory was tho first ever gained over de redoubtable commander.

In a recent publication Ben Berley i'oore gives the following account of Calhoun's last days, which will be read with interest at this particular time when .he State is erecting a sarcophagus for ;be preservation of his remains and to lay being the anniversary of the states nan's birth : In the early spring ol 1850, Mr.* Calhoun began to fail. Age ami disease tad made sad impress upon bis naturally iharp feature.', and tho wreck of the tody contrasted painfully with the pow erful glimmerings of intellect which yet lashed frooi everything subject tohia ouch. Mr. Webster also looked worn ind feeble, and tbat step which five rears before, trod with the elastic Arm less of a conqueror, now bears him al nost totteringly to his seat in the charn ier. Mr. Clay, on the contrary, wore sell. In truth, bis cheeks bloomed like he sun mark of a peach, and all bisects -physical and mental-betrayed the in rincible Harry of twenty years past. As the spring advanced Mr. Calhoun ;row worse. Ile was conscious of his tpproaching end, and met death with fortitude and serenity. His physician laid that his was an overworked mind, 1 welling too long sod twp anxiously on >ne object. His one thought was for his country, the strength of bis intellect iver running in this one narrow channel, which -deepened itself until the banks saved in and death ensued. One of the last directions he gave was to a dutiful ion, who had been attending him. to put away some manuscript which he bad written under bis dictation. Iiis remains lay in state in the old Congress house, apposite the capitol, where be was board ing when he died. The corpse was fn rall citixen's dress and lay on a low couch, covered wi':) a p?H, his long gray lock?! i>prcsding '?vcr the pillow.
