a regiment of Austrians was pushing on to oc
cupy a narrow pass about ten miles from where
he was staying, and the possession of which
would give them an opportunity to prevent an
important movement of the French which was
then on foot. They hoped to surprise this j ses oi warmth,

lie had no idea of being captured by the en

for the pass. He knew that the pass was de
fended by a stout tower and a garrison of thir
ty men, and he hoped to be able to warn the
men of their danger.
Ho hastened on, and arriving there found
the tower in a perfect condition. It had just
been vacated by th<? garrison, who heard of
the approach of the Austrians, and had been
seized with a panic thereat and had fled, leav
ing their arms, consisting of thirty excellent
muskets. _
La Tour d’Auvergne gnashed his teeth with
rage as he discovered this. Searching in the
building he found several boxes of ammuni
tion which the cowards had not destroyed.
For a moment lie was in despair, but then,
with a grim smile, he began to fasten the main
door and pile against it such articles as he could

His rude mind had observed
that some of the different kinds of wood that

There were some things in his favor in such
an undertaking. r I he pass was steep and nar
row, and the enemy’s troops could enter it on
lv in double files, and in doing this would be
fully exposed to the fire from the tower. The
original garrison of thirty men could easily
have held it against a division, and now one
man was about to hold it against a whole ieg-
iraent.
It was dark when La Tour d" Auvergne reach
ed tlie tower, and he had to wait some time
for the enemy. They were longer in coming
than he expected, and for awhile he was temp
ted to believe that they had abandoned the ex
pedition.
About midnight, however, his practised ear
caught the tramp of feet. Every moment tne
sound came nearer, and at last he heard them
entering the defile. Immediately he discharg
ed a couple of muskets into the darkness to let
them know that he knew of their presence aud
intentions, aud he heard the quick, short com
mands of the officers, and from the sounds, he
supposed that the troops were retiring from
the pass. Until the morning he was undistur
bed. The Austrian commander, feeling assur
ed that the garrison had been informed of liis
movements, and was prepared to receive him
saw that he could not surprise the post as ho
had hoped to do, and deemed it prudent to
wait till daylight before making his attack.
At sunrise he summoned the garrison to sur
render. A grenadier answered the summons.
“Bay to your commander,” he said, in reply
this garrison will defend this p..ss aud tower
tlie last moment.”
The officer who had borne the flag of truce
retired, and in about ten minutes a piece of
artillery was brought into the pass and opened
on the tower. But to effect this, the piece had
to be placed within easy musket range of it —
lliey had scarcely got the gun in iposition,
when a rapid fire was Opened on it from the
tower, and continued wit such marked ( fleet,
that the piece was withdrawn after the secund
discharge, with a loss of five men.
This wus a bad beginning, so half an hour
after the gun was withdrawn, the Austrian
Colonel ordered an assault-
As the troops-entered the defile they were
received with a rapid and accurate fire, so that
when thev had passed over half the distance
they had to traverse, they had lostfiiteen men.
Disheartened by this, they returned to the

perhaps some others, have refused that political
equality which exists and has been accorded in
South Carolina. It is cur duty, therefore, to

‘Bat I might shoot your head.’
‘shoot! Better blow out my brains than
see me die here, which I shall do iu fifteen
minutes. Shoot.’
‘But you will fall.,
‘Jim Randall, will you fire?’
The sharp crack of the ride rang through
