_ RAN AW AY or stolen from the subscriber liv
ing near the Agency on Flint Ri Jer, in the early
part of January last, a negro woman named LET
TUCE, about 35years old, smut built, bright black
complexion, and speaks fluently. I have reason to
believe she is harbored and concealed in or near Macon, if
not stolen and ran off. She has lived some time in Macon,
and doubtlessly has many acquaintances there.
Tne above reward will be given upon oronf to conviction
of her being harbored by a white person, or Twenty-five
Dollars if by a negro, or Tweuty-five dollars will be paid if
she shall be delivered to me, or lodged in any safe jail in
Alabama or this State, so that I get her again.

SKETCHES OF THE REVOLUTION
ARY WAR IN NORTH CAROLINA.
I was busily occupied one summer’s mor
ning in my garden, when I was saluted by an
old fashioned farmer, on his way to mill.—
He rode a stout, well-limbed, active young
horse, with the manner of one early accus-
i tomed to the saddle, and managed him in his
humors, with the art and address of a man
fond of a pet animal.
The old man’s hat was low-crowned and
slouched, but looked as if it had once been
looped, or cocked up—a style which some
may recollect ns incidental to many a revolu
tionary veteran.
The weather invited to rest; we both
seemed willing to enjoy shade and conversa
tion ; end by observations casually made—
in which probably the old man’s appearance
assisted—we talked of the times of the Rev
olution, he sitting on his horse, ( for, like ma
ny good talkers, he Intd no time to alight!)
and I standing on the other side of my fence,
in the garden, both of us shaded by some fine
oaks which refreshed the road by which he
was passing.
In this way I picked up the following nar
rative of
“ THE SURPRISE AT M’iNTIRe’s.”
The inhabitants of a large plantation, on
the road leading from the town of Charlotte
toBeatie’s Ford, on the Catawba, were alarm
ed one morning in early autumn, by fie report
of a country Lid, that a d-tachment of British
light horse with a line of empty baggage wag
gons were on their march to procure forage
for tbe English troops under the command of
Lord Cornwallis, who had his head-quarters
in the county town of Mecklenburg, North
Carolina.
As the boy passed the farm-house he gave
the alarm and galloped on. The women were
seen stu gling after him—some loaded with
the riffles and accoutrements of tbo men who
were at work in the fields—while others, as
sisted by the negroes, led forth horses from the
stables, and hastily saddled them for the ser
vice.
The men were promptly amiod, the women
and children with sud necessaries as could
be snatched up, were mounted by twos and
threes upon »he horses, and accompanied by
thf servants, directed their course through the
wootls to such neighbors as were most retired
from the main road.
Although the boy who gave the alarm had
used every exertion, nnd, mounted upon a ja
ded colt just taken from the plough, had cash
ed through the most direct by-paths, the men
had scarcely time to conceal themselves in a
deep thicket and swamp, which bordered one
extremity of the plantation, before the British
videtts were in sight. They halted upon the
brow of a hill, abova the branch of a creek,
for the approach of the main body, and then, in
complete order, advanced to the plantnt on.
After reconnoitering the premises, and find
ing no one present, but all appearances o*'the
hasty flight of the inhabitants, the dragoons dis
mounted, the horses were tethered, and a
guard detailed. Some sumpter horses were
harnessed to the farm wagons and parties be
gan to loud them with the various products of
the field ; while the military baggage wagons
under the charge of a rear guard, gradually ar
rived, and were employed ini gathering the
new corn, and carrying stacks of oats and of
the freshly pulled corn fodder.
It was the practice with our countrymen,
led to precaution by their early contests with
the aborigines, to form associations with their
neighbors, fir mutual support in cuse of dan-
ger, and in their visits of friendship, or busi
ness, they always bore arms. There were
twelve men now lying in close ambush on the
edge of the plantation. They had all acted on
scouting parties, were expert in ^he use of the
rifle, and perfectly acquainted with all the pe
culiarities of the counlry. They were divided,
at regular distances, in couples, concealed ve
ry near to each other, that they might readily
communicate and have aid in their concerted
action ;-forit had been agreed among them to
await the retreat of the British, in the hope
that they might recover some portion of their
plundered crops, and avenge their injuries up
on the invaders, with the greatest prospect of
success.
It was with much restraint, however, that
they saw the fruits of their industry thus sud
denly withdrawn ; while the soldiers, enjoying
the prospect of free living, shouted joyously
amidst their plunWer. Separate parlies, regu
larly detailed, shot down and butchered the
hogs and calves—hunted and caught the poul
try of different descriptions, which, on a large
plantation, form the luxury of a farmer, and
the pride and favorites of the good wife and
little ones.
In full view of this active scene stood the
commander of the British forces—a porily, flo
rid, cheerful Englishman—one hand on each
side of the doorway of the farm buttle, where
the officers were enjoying the abundant pro
visions prepared for tile owners of the planta
tion and tlieir friends.
The soldiery, assisted by dogs, in eager
chase of the. poultry, had struck down some
bee hives, firmed of hollow gum loes, ranged
near the garden 1 fence. The irritable insects
dashed after the men, and, at once, the scene
became one of uproar, confusion, and lively
excitement. The officer laughed heartily at
the gestures and outcries of the routed sol
diers—'he attention of the guard was drawn to
this single point, while at a distance in the fields,
the wagons were seen slowly approaching with
their cumbrous loads.
The owner of the plantation had cautiously
approached, under cover, within gun-shot of
his house; the rest of his puriv, hi neighbors,
with equal care, advanced sufficiently near for
the action of tlieir rifles. The distress and an-
ger of these men were raised to the highest
pitch by the reckless merriment of their ene
mies, and, in the midst of the tumult, their feel
ings overcame all the bounds of preconcerted
prudence.
*• Bovs !” cried one of the sturdy farmers,
“ I can’t stand this—I take ihc captain. Eve
ry one choose his man, and lock to yourselves.”
The words were scarcely uitered in a sup
pressed tone, but with an appropriate decision
of action, when the sight of his rifle was thrown
upon the fuil breas; of the laughing English
man, who suddenly fell.prostrate from the door
posts.
As the smoke from the rifles rose; after their
sharp and qu ckly repeated reports, the com
mander. nine men. and two horses lay dead or
wounded on the ground.
The trumpets imrnedintely sbunded a recall
But hy the nme ihc scattered dragoons had
collected, mounted, and formed, a straggling
fire, from a diff rent direction, into which the
concealed scouts had extended, showed tho un
erring aim of each Americm marksman, and
increased the confusion of surprise.
Perfectly acquainted with every foot of the
ground, the Americans constantly changed
their position, giving in their fire as they load,
ed, so that it appeared to the British they were
surrounded by a lurge force.
Every preparation for defence, attack, and
retreat was made with the discipline of soldiers,
but the alternate hilly and sivamp land, and
thickets, so completely sheltered the Ameri
cans, they set on ilie hounds against a foe
scarcely visible, except from tlieir deadly ef
fects.
The dogs, at first, seemed to fake the track;
and were followed by the soidiers. Tbe fore
most hound ran close upon the heels of one of
the scouts, who had just discharged iiis rifle,
and was in full retreat after his companions.—
But ns the dog closed with open mouth, he
was shot dead with a pistol drawn from the ri
fleman’s breast.
The next hound stopped at the dead dog,
smelt at tho body, gave a whining howl, and
the whole pack retreated from the contest.
A large number of the dragoons were shot
down. The leading horses in ihe wagons were
killed before they could ascend the hill. The
'l'oad was blocked up. The soldiers in charge
of the wagons cui loose some of the surviving
animals and galloped after their retreating com
rades.
The country people, early advised of the ad
vance of the foraging party, mounted their hor*
ses, rifle in hand, from every direction ; and,
occupying well protected positions along the
main road precipitated the retreat of the Brit
ish into Charlotte—the survivors swearing
“ there was not a bush on the road that did not
contain a rebel.”
In the grave-yard nt Charlotte, a large mar
ble monument is inscribed as
“SACRED
“ To the memory of Gen. George Graham,
who di^d on the 23th of March, 162G, in the
sixty-eighth year of his age.
“ He lived more than half a century in the
vicinity of this place, nnd was a zealous and
active defender of his country’s lights in ‘.ho
Revolutionary War, and one of the gallant
twelve who dared to attack and actually drove
four hundred British troops at JNIcIntire’s seven
miles north of Charlotte; on the 3d of October;
1780.
‘•George Graham filled many high nnd re
sponsible public trusts, the duties of which he
discharged with fidelity. He was the people’s
friend, not their flatterer; and uniformly en
joyed the unlimited confidence and respect of
his fallow-cilizens.”
A short story with a moral.—A young yan-
kee had formed an attachment for a daughier
of a rich old fanner, and after agreeing with
his “ bonnie lassie,” went to the old fellow to
ask his consent, ar.d during the interview,
which was an akward one for Jonathan,
whittled away at a stick. The old man watch
ed the movements of the k ife. at the same
time continued to talk upon the prospects of his
future son-in-law, as he Supposed, until the
stick was dwindled dow n to naught; He then
spoke as follows : ‘‘you have fine property,
you have steady halms, good enough looking,
but you can’t have mv daughter! Had you
made something, no maiter uhat, of the slick
you liuve whittled away, you could have had
her—as it is you cannot. YoUr property will
go as the stick did, little by little, until all is
gone, and your family reduced to want. I have
read your true character, you have my an
swer.”
