H?MOGOOD BYEWHEN! Some Bits of Revolutionary History. [Written for The Times, l>y Prof. A. A. St rock, of Carlisle.] j -The portion of South Carolina j embracing parts of Ijaurcns, Cnion, ! and Spartanburg counties, watered by the Pacolet, the Tygor and the Enorce, witnessed many deeds of ! violence and bloodshed, and many , 1k>1(1 achievements of sturdy patri' ots. A few of these deeds are recorded, but the greater number have been forgotten. South Carolina has made tnore history and saved less than any of the other thh teen original colonies. In the library I of Winthrop College is an autograph letter from Thomas Nelson I'age, in which this sentence occurs: I believe that the story of the people of South Carolina will be the chosen field of romance in years to come." A noted Tory, who made depredations upon settlers living in sections of Spartanburg and Union counties, was Patrick Moore, a loy jalist from North Carolina. In .July i and August, 17.S0, ho was in command of Fort Thiukutty or Fort I Anderson, situated a quarter of a mile north of (toucher Creek, which | I empties into Thiekotty Creek, a i western tributary of the Broad river. This fort wis built as a de| | fence against the Cherokees, and j was strongly fortfiied. It became a j place of great resort and protection for the Tories. They would sally j forth in every direction and plunder the families of the Whigs, so 1 that women and children would of1 ten Ik- left without clothing, shoes, t ' brood, meat or salt. In the absence of ('apt. Nathani-1 Jeffries, of that region, one of those plundering expeditions was made upon his house. They took such articles as they wanted, and piled up and set fire to the rest. Then they drove off the horses and cattle. On another occasion, the house of Samuel McJunkin, a warm patriot in Union District, who was too old for active military service, was visited ! by a band of Tories under Patrick Moore. They stayed all night, and when they were about to leave next morning, they stripjxcl the family of hed-clothes and wearing apparel. I A mil e <1 IIUIV/M U M > , IMM i 1 I I'O H ' '1 I 1 I f jj seized a favorite bed quilt ami S placed it upon liis horse. Mc.Junk5 in's sturdy daughter, Jane, seized l it, and a struggle for its possession \ ensued. This furnished aniuseSment for the soldiers, who hegan to exclaim, "W ell done, woman?well | doue, _ Hill."' In the exeitement a over the seullle, Moore swore warm. ly that if Jane could take it, from ~ Haynesworth, she should have it. ! Presently, in the fierce contest, ' Bill's feet slipped, and he fell proses ' trate to the ground. Jane, quick as thought, placed her foot upon his hreast, and giving a wrest, retired in triumph. Bill sneaked away, ! defeated and crestfallen. This j\ brave woman was a sister of Major McJunkin, who was with Col. John }l'. Thomas when he defeated the Tories j. at Cedar Spring. $! About this time another bravi feat was performed by Miss Nancj lst Jackson, who lived near Fair Foresl ^ Creek. The Tories had just plum a' dercd her home, and as one wat jj] going down stairs, loaded witl plunder, she kicked him over. Ii lf.g his rage, he threatened to send tht 7 Hessian troops there next day. Ii L.(j oraer to save nerseii, tne brave gir I1(j had to seek refuge among hei friends some distance away. Sumter, hearing of the depredn tions of the British and Tories upor | the settlers of that section, (lispatched Col. Clarke with his Geor | gians, together with such person! in his camp who lived in that com munity and desired to aid in its | protection, to repair to that quarter I Capt. William Smith, of Spartan tM1 hurg, and his company, availet ut | gelves of the opportunity. Arrivinj at Cherokee ford, they met Col n" McDowell. Col. Shelby, with si: hundred men, was sent to surprisi ,n- Thicketty Fort, some twenty milei 'w distant. Marching at sunset, the^ arrived and surrounded the fort a (lay next morning. Capt. Willian en Cocke, afterward it U. S. senatoi ias from Tennessee, was sent to de n" mand the surrender of the place Moore replied that he would defcnt ?fjthe fort to the last extremity a I Shelby then drew his lines withii ! musket shot of the fort, determine* to make an assault. ,m The formidable appearance < Shelby's "six hundred" had suci m' an effect on Moore that he, on i second demand, relented and sur ia? rendered the place. Ninety-thre k* Tories and one British sergeant ma jor, who drilled them, were surren ?b dered without a shot being fired This was a great surprise to th British, who considered the fort im ,s pregnable. In a dispatch fron L' Ferguson to Cornwallis, captured a King's Mountain, they attribute* x* the surrender to cowardice on th part of Moore, and recommende* ,n- him to be court-martialed.
