His head quarto's were at. Sprirtgbahlt, while Colonel Tarleton, with ins re-! nowned legion, encamped oft the plantation of Lieutenant Sloetitnb. The owner of this line estate held a subaltern's commission in the State line utijder Colonel Washington, and was in I AAmtvio?i/1 1 vf* at f ii/tAtx /.f 1* .-1 ? 1'.

These excursions had been j frequent for two or three years, and j wore often of several days duration. ! At the present time, Slocnmb had returned to t!m vicinity, and had been | sent with twelve or fifteen recruits to I I act as scouts in the neighbourhood of 'the British General, The _morning of j the day on which Tarleton took possession of his plantation, he was near jSpriugbank, and leconnoitered the en i eainjuuent ol Corn wall is, w liich lie sup| posed to beliis whole iorce. lie then, i with his party, pursued his way slowly i back in the direction of his own house, ilitrle dreaming that his beautiful and peaceful home, where, sometime be! fore, he had left his wife and child, was then in pulsion of the terrible i 'l'artleton. During these frequent excursions of the rangers, and the i'.eCessary ' I absence ot her husband, the superin. tendence of the plantation had a!i ways devolved upon Mrs. Slocuiub. |Sl?e depended for protection upon iiei j slaves, whose fidelity she had proved, land upon her own fearloss and intrepid 'spirit. The scene of the occupation of j her house, and Turk-ton's residence with her, are drawn from her own re' latum. ! It was ahopt "10 o'clock, on a beautii fid (Spring morning, that a splendidly dressed officer, accompanied by two jaids, and tollowcd at a short distance I by u guard of some twenty troopers,, dashed up to the piazza in front ol the jancient looking mansion. Mrs. biojcnmlj was sitting there, with her child and a near relative young lady, who afterward became the wife of Major Williams. A few house servants were also or. the piazza. The officer rai.-ed his can, and how! mg to liis horse's neck, addressed the lady with the questions: uIIav?I the pleasure of seeing the mistress of this house ami plantation J" "it belongs to my husband." '*Is he tit horne t" ; "lie is not." Ulu ItO <1 I*ik1 Otl ^ jl& in; <i iri'r.j. . i "No, sir. He is in the army of his jcountry, fighting against, our invaders;! ; I herefrom not a rebel." It is not a little singular that, nl: though the people ot that period gloried i in their rebellion, thev always took of fence at being called rebels, j "I fear, Madam," said the officer, ' i "that we differ in opinion. A friend | to his country will he a friend to the ; king, our master." f "Slaves only acknowledge a master ' in this country," replied the ladv. A deep flush crossed the florid | cheeks Of Tarleton, for he was the, I speaker ; and turning to one ot his aids, j ; lie ordered him to pitch the touts, and 1 ! fvui the encampment in the orchard i and field on tiler right. To the other! aid his orders were to detach a qnar-' tor guard, a fid station piquets on each 1 road. Then, bowing very low, he add-1 ed : "Madam, the services of his Ma-1 jesty requires the temporary occnpa- ' j tion of your property; and if it will' not he too great art Inconvenience, 1 ' will take "hp my quarters in your house." The tone admitted no controversy. Mrs. SToctinth answered : My family consists of only myself, my sister and child, and a few negroes. We are your prisoners.' From frho piazza, where ho seated , himself, Tarlcton, oomuisuided a view | of the ground on which his troojw were j arranging tlicir camp. The mansion i fronted the east, and an avenue one j hundred and fifty feel wide, and about i hull a mile in lengtrifBTFetclieU to the|i eastern sielo of the plantation, where! > was a highway, with open grounds lie ' < yond it, partly <lrv meadow* and part- ' iy sand barren, This nvetriie was lined { on the south side lr*n high fence and I a thic k hedge i"0\v of foil'st4trees. <hi:. the north side extended the common railj i lence, 80 vt n or eight feet high, such as; i is usual y seen on plantations in the!

The cucnmpnicnt of lho i 1 Dritish troops being on that part of the j t plantation fioutu oi tlie avenue, it was] i completely screened by the fences and ' 1 hedge row from the view of any one It approaching lrcm down the country. !< While the men were busied, different I ( oliicers came tip at intervals, making 1 llteir reports and receiving orders-1' Among otiiers, a Tory Captain, whom j 1 Mrs. Mocnnib immediately recognised ' i ?for. before joining the ltoyal Army,'t he had lived fifteen or twenty 'miles be-! low, receiving orders in her hearing to j ( take his troops and scour the comitrT j t for two or three miles around. I < In an hour everything was quiet, and I < the plantation presented the romantic j1 | spectacle of a regular encampment of < Isoine ten or eleven hundred of ther choicest cavalry ofthc ]>ritish monarch.! t The oilicers were partiikingof a dinner |' I in the uiun&ioii, prepared for them by j< , Mrs. blocomb; tliey were interrupted.! i however, by rapid volley of firearms.!

She feared now i that lie had returned unexpectedly, iainl might fall into the enemy's hands before lie was aware of iheir presence.1 | llor sole hope was in a precaution !1 I she bad adopted soon Utter the coming | of her unwelcome guc.-ts. Having ; heard Tarlutoi: give the order of the j Tory captain, as before mentioned, to patrol tlie country, she iininydiulely sent for an old negro, and gave him directions to take a bag of corn to the I mill, about lour inilos distant, on the I ; road she. knew her husband must trav-: el if ho returned that day.

"May j <. I he allowed.

And you I would not, ol course," she added, alter' a slight pause, "be surprised at a call from I,re, or your old friend Colonel Washington, who, although a perfect, gentleman, it is said, shook your hand (pointed to the scar left by Washington's sabre) very rudely when you last met."

V ng a hot pursuit of tho Tory captain a ho had been sent to reconnoitor the jonntrv, ami somo of his routed troop. these were first discerned in tho open grounds east and north-oust of the plauation, elu^ely pursued by a h0<-ly American mounted militia, while a runting tight was kept up wilh different weapons, in which four or live broad + ;words gleamed conspicuous. The foro* r.oet of tbo pursuing party appeared oo busy-with tho 'lories to see anyhing else, and limy entered the aveme at ttxo same moment with the parv pursued.

Look von." A glance t?> the left showed the young men their danger; they were in pistol shot of a thousand men drawn up in order of battle. Wheeling their horses, they discovered a troop already leaping the fence in their rear. Quick as thought, they again whirled their horses, and dashed down the avenue directly towards the house, where stood the quarter guard to receive them. On reaching the garden fence?n rude struetuio formed of a kind of lath and cat led a wattled lenco ?tiny 1 aped that and the next, amid a shower of balls from the guard, cleared the tremendous leap, and scouring across the open field to the north-west, were in the shelter of the woods before their pursuers could clear the ler.ee of the inelosure. A plat toon laid commenced the pursuit. but the trumpotb sounded a recall before tho Americans had crossed the canal. The presence of mind and lofty language fit the heroic wife had convinced the British colonel that the daring men who so fearlessly dashed into his camp were suimnvtwl lw .. i i ? v.T ?? formidable force close at hand. Had the truth been known, the fugitives pursued, nothing could have prevented the destruction, not only of the four who lied, but of the reft of the company on the east side of the plantation. * Tarletou had l ode back to the front of the house, where he remained eagerly looking after the fugitives till tliey disappeared in the woods.- lie called for the Tory captain, who presently came forward, questioned him about the American officers, and dismissed him to have his wounds dressed and see after his men. The last part of the order was needless, for nearly one half of his men had fallen. The British officers now returned to their coffee, and closed the day with a merry night. Slocmub and his companions passed rapidly arouud the plantation, and returned to the ground where the encounter hai taken place, collecting cn lie way the stragglers of their troops.
