Daniel in Southern Christian Advocate. Miss Moore returned to her home 'rom Captain Mayson's about the inie Greene raised the seige of Nine:y-Six. The day after her return she a me again face to face with war. .'oi. Washington, sent out by Greene o Impede the progress of Rawdon's roops marching to the assistance of Uruger, met the advance guard of the British army just below the Savage 10me and a sanguinary battle was 'ought within the hearing of the inmates of the home. In this encoun:er Lieutenant Wade of Virginia, a launch patriot, was shot from his lorse and as he fell to the ground his list word? to those who rushed to his issistance were, "Don't let my horse 'all into the hands of the enemy." The brave lieutenant cherished a rue cavalier's thoughtfulness for his reed, and it would have been a genune comfort to him, had ho fallen into he hands ?>f the enemy, to know that hey did not get his horse. Lieutenmt Wade was picked up and carried o :h?- Savage home where under the jvefii: nursing of M.ss Behethland i::< 1 her mother he was restored arid ioubtk'ss again joined his troop. Washington fought them hotly for a vhile and then, of course, retreated lastilv along the old road leading in front of the Savage h< '?!< . doubt-' l?-ss. yountr .Mi?s I>ehe*h!and. who <:tood in the yard and cheore ! the brave fellows as they swept by a! fui! speed, running but rot beaten. It was w new featuve it: miiitary for any one who has studied the vVar of Independence, in South Carolina, must conclude that our brave sires whipped the British by running. The fact that ihey knew when to run and x i. _ ^ l"?nn>)>lrj ' v.nere rc? ran u? m uk opinio!! of the writer, the whole secret of their tina! triumph. The advance guards of Rawdon's army soon swarmed around the house. Several soldiers entered the home and began their search for whatever treasures they might rind. Some went up stairs and having found a barrel of apples stored for winter use. began to threw them downstairs, where the inrushing mob gathered them up and began to feast; Behethiand rushed into their midst and with flashing eyes and erect form stamped her little foot and commanded them to cease such rude behavior, then seizing a aasket she picked up the scattered apples and with a bow. politely'offered some to a non-commissioned officer who was looking on. Impressed with her speech and lady like bearing the officer commanded the men t:> desist in their work and then turning to Miss Behethland asked, "Are those sheep in the lot your property?" On receiving an affirmative answer he replied, "The soldiers are preparing to slaughter them." The brave lass immediately walked to the lot followed by the non-commicsioned officer, commanded a soldier, who was preparing to butcher a sheep, to desist. He immediately freed the sheep and stood awhile look in? at Miss Behethland in amazement ami then turned to his ?an? and ! walked out of the lot. There is some-' thinu: in the personality of a brave and fearless man or woman before whier cowards and criminals cower. 5 J ' The British army passed by the Savage home during the day and Missi Moore remained commander-in-chief of her step-father's house. To the brave and decisive activities of such , brave women we owe more of our; Independence than historians have. ever told. They were indeed the pow: er behind the democratic throne of ! all the activities of our brave sires, j ; When night came it was found nec-1 ; i : essary by the friends of ihe patriotc,' within the lines of the enemv to con-' !

The legion had just begun its flight vhen the enemy appeared, but Armstrong made such a gallant stand that the enemy supposed that a stronger force was at hand and, therefore, fell back and waited for reinforcements, so that Lee was enabled to put himself in close communication with the main body of Greene's army, which had halted at Bush's creek.
