fixed on the raging lieutenant, as tie
made a tremendsua plunge at his breast.

swerved away !ike a snake, and the
baffled man plunged tits sword into the

sharp blade passed through Inc gigantic

his eves sparkled and glowed like a
serpent’s. The man sank to the e-artli
forever.
But “Fannou’s Mare’ 1 ra written at 1
the top of this sheet, and she is the he
roine of the present writing. Achilles
had Iris XanthUs and Balms and Pod
argae; Alexander had his Bucephalus;
McDonald hed his Selim. Fuimcn was
a man of blood like the m, and like them
he had his favorite and trusty charger;
and Fannon’s mare was worthy of her
owner, or “even a lieiter man ’ He;
called her the Red Doe, from her re
semblance in color to a deer. She was
a rare animal— fleet, powerful, intelli
gent, docile p.s a lamfb, and her owner
valued her, i dare say, above kin.; or
country, or the life of his fellow man.
She bore him proudly and .fearlessly in
the bloody skirmish or the quick re.
treat. When he stood in the noisy
council of his partisans, or in the silent
ambush, the faithful brute was by his
6ide, ever ready to bear him whither
soever he would.
Down on the east of Little River the
partisan and some four or five of his
.followers one day captured a man by
•the name of Hunter, apolitical oppo.
v-nent, from the country about Salisbury.
This was sufficient cause of death, and
Fan non told the man he .should hang
him. Hunter wae evidently a roan oj
the times ; but what could he do, alone
and defenceless, with a dozen bitter
enemiet ? It was a case of complete
despa lation. The rope was ready,
apd a strong old oei: threw out its con
venient branches. Fannon told him
he might pray, for fits time v. as come .

seemed absorbed in his last petition to

The rifles were levelled in a moment:

non ; “save my mare !” The slug i all j

: was no ford ; the bank was high, and a

in o the stream. Sue snorted in tho
spray as she ro-e, pawed the yielding
wave, arched her beautiful mane above
the surface, and skimmed along like#
wildswaw. Hunter turned down stream
in the .hope of evading his pursuers, and
she reared and dashed through the
flashing waters of the shoal, like light
! tiing iu the storm-cloud.
But Fannon was on the trail, and
rushma clown the bank with till tho mad
energy that the loss of his favorite
could inspire. Hunter turned the
mare to the opposite bank; it was

ruck —but she planted herself on the
shore at a bound ; and then away she
flew over the interminable forest of
pines, straight and swift us an arr.v,

j On and on did the gene this brute

, Late m tho evening Hunter rode into
[ Salisbury, had the slug extracted from
his shoulder, and after lingering some
time with the < filets of iiis wound and
excitement, finally got well. And that
! gallant mare, that had done him such
good service, he kept and cherished till
’ fie cited of old age.
The two Friends.
| John and Colin learned to read at
school in the same vtlluge ; John was
the sou of a muleteer, and Colin owed
his birth to an industrious laborer.—
These two young children loved each
other very much, and they had together
many littie secrets, which they always
remembered with pleasure vvhe-n they
afterwards met in the busy wot Id.
Ihe period assigned for their stud
ies was about finishing, when a a tay
lor brought John a tri colored coat, and
a very beautiful waist coat of Lyons
velvet; they were accompanied with a
letter to bis mother. Colin admired the
coal and was not jealous ; but John
took such an aij* of superiority, that it
affected his yo t < n g friend. From this
moment, Juhri studied no more, looked
at himself j n the glass and despised
every body. Some time after a groom
arrived post haste and brought R sec
ond lettpc jo the mother, directed with
great c arp jq Madame Leory ! It was
an ord Pr f rotn pjs father to send the
son to Paris. John mounted a chaise,
holding (o Qolin wfh a patronizing
smile of protection. Colin felt bis noth
ingness, snd wept, while John parted in
all the pomp of Ids glory.
Von must know that John’s father
had, by hie intrigues, rapidly acquired
immense wealth. Soon they called
him nothing but the Marquis Leorv !
Colin, always generous, wrote a
complimentary letter to his boyish com
rade. The little Marquis made him no
reply. Colin was sick with grief.
The Marquis wanted to give bis son
a brilliant education; but Madame
la Marquise did not wish him to learn
Latin, because they only played come
dies and operas in French. She also
preverted him from learning geogra
phy, for she said, the postillion could
find the roads for him, and point out all
that was necessary. After having
criticised in this manner, all the useful
science was decided that the young
Marquis should learn to dance.
You may well imagine that, with
held from all studies proper for a voting
man, the spoiled boy was soon led by
idleness into libertinism. Ho spent irn
mense sums and sought false pleasures,
while his parents exhausted themselves
still more to live as great lords.
A young widow of quality, who had
but a slender fortune, anxiously wished
to sc cure the great wealth of the Mar
quis, and his wife bv marrying the
! young Marquis, and old neighbor pro
i posed the marriage. The parents, daz
zled with the apparent, splendor of this
alliance, accepted with joy the propoei
’ lion. All was reaoy for the nuptials,

knees of his bauly receiving the com

PEN FIELD, GA. JULY 23, 1853.
Ia valet of his mother arrived, and m \
much trepidation. ‘Here if other j
news,” said he. ‘BalifFs have posses, j
sioii of the house of the Matquis ; all |
is seized by tho creditors; they speak j
of taking the body, and l am going in j
haste to demand my wages.’
*1 will inquire.’ said the young Mar- :
cuts, ‘what all this is about.”
■Yes,’ said the widow, ‘go and pun-j
ish these rogues—go quickly/
H<- hurried, but before ho arrived at j
the house, his father was already irn- j
prisoned. All the servants had fled, |
ea-'h for himself, carrying away all
that be could. 11 is mother remained
alone without succor, without consola
tion, drowned in tears. Nothing re
mained to her but the remembrance of
her fortune, and ofher foolish expenses.
After the son had cried a longtime
with his mother, he at last said to her:
‘Do not let us despair. This young
widow loves me desperately. She is
‘more generous yet than rich. I rely
upon her. 1 will go ail J seek her and
lead you to her.’
lie returned then to his mistress.
‘What! is it you,’ said she, the
young Marquis ? Wlini are volt go
ing to do heie ! Will you thus ahan
; don your mother ? Go to the poor wo
man and tell her that she has mv best
‘wishes. I want a chambermaid, and l
will give her the. preference.’
Tne Marquis, stupefied with rage,
went to those tliat he had seen most
frequently visit the house of his father.
Titov received him with studied polite
ness, giving him but vague hopes.
Thus he learned to know the world
better in u half day than in all the rest
j of liis life.
j While plunged iu the heaviness of
i grief, he was advancing an old fashion
ed chaise, un antique sort tumbrell, cov
| ered with certain skin, followed by
four enormous cars all laden. There
i was in the chaise a young man plainly
dressed. His was a face round and
fresh, which breathed (rankness and
sagacity. His little with, rosy and fat
enough, vas jolting by bis side. The
; carriage did not move like the car of a
i fashionable’ man. The traveller had
! ample time to contemplate the marquis
immoveable ingulfed in g r ief.
‘Oh, heaven !’ cried lie, ‘I think that
there is Joint.’
| At this name, the marquis raised his
eyes.
‘ll is John himself, it is John.’
j The little man making but one junta,
rushed to embrace his old friend. John
recognised Col ill. Shame ami tears
covered his face.
•You have abandoned me,’ said Co
lin, and although you have been a;
great lord, I will always love you.’
Joint, confused and affected, related
a part of Ins history*
“Come to the hotel, whore I lodge,
and tell me tin rest,’ said Colin. ‘Em- 1
brace mv little wife and let us go to
i dinner together.
They all three went oil foot followed
j by the baggage.
‘What is all this apparatus? Does;

‘Yes, all is mine and my wife.’s.—

John surprised, feeling himself af
footed by grief and joy, tenderness and
.shame, said, iu u very low tone.—‘‘All
my fine friends have betrayed me, and j
; Colin, whom 1 despised, is tlm only one
who hastens to my relief.”
What a moral! The goolness ofi

John a ge.rm of virtue that tho world
bad not \rt destroyed. He felt that
lie would not abandon his father and

‘We will tske an of your mother,’

space only for part of his letter an. j
nouncing his determination: — Jour. \
American Temp. Union.
To the Editor of the Slate Register,
Mr. K DITOR :In consequence of]
the analysis by that eminent elipmist,
the late Lewis C. Beck, in 1831, im
pelled by a sense of doty to iiave mv |
whole stock ol liquors destroyed, and
they were accordingly poured into the]
drain, and found their way into the
Hudson river. To have used myself,
or sold to others to be used as a hover,
ago, such deleterious articles as Dr.
Book had pronounced my liquors to lie,
would have been in me a great sin.
And yet, my liquors were ot the most
noted ami expensive kind, and suppos. j
fid to be, before tlmt analysis, of the,
purest quality. It was not intended at I
the tint ■, that this act should be made
public.
I allude to ibis fact to show what a
mighty change lias taken plac* in pub- ]
lie sentiment sinc.e that time. Then
an individual was’ deemed almost a
madman, for doing with intoxicating
poisons belonging to himself, what, af
ter a lapse of twenty years, Btute after
State is passing laws to do with intox- i
icaiing poisons generally. Though I
felt at the time that I had the right to
destroy my own property myself, still
l do not know that l should then have
thought it right for the public to have
sent an officer to seize and destroy it.
To me, after that failure, the whole
subject seemed to be surrounded with I
diliicuhies, and I hava long doubted i
as to my own duty. The want of’
; triiou among temperance men, as to]
I the best course to pursue; the want of a ]
! correct public, sentiment; the (diameter j
ol our population, and the fear of fore-j
mg a law upon the people, us in the
case ot ! ‘no license,” before they were ]
ready and willing, not only to have it
; passed, but to see it executed, produced j
in my mind an apprehension that we
might again, hy premature legislation, |
! make a mistake that would, in end, in-!
litre, in place of benefiting, the cause’
in which so many hearts were united, j
.Still, I felt a strong desire to seethe’
time when the public mind would be- :
-come sufficiently enligh eued, as to its
true interests, to sustain a law similar
in its effects, to the Maine Law, sous
to rid the land of those overwhelming’
evils reovtltiug from the sale of intoxi
cating poisons. I felt an apprehension, l
too, that, there might probably be con. i
cealed in the .Maine Law a principle]
that might, in the exucution, interfere
with the rights ol persons and property.
Unwilling to accomplish even a great
good by doing what seemed to be an
evil, ! have long hesitated to give to!
that law the support which I should [
Otherwise have fell it my duty to give. l
Whatever charges may have been
brought against me during my long)
conflict with rum, I have never, l be. j
lieve, been charged with want of moral
courage to do what ! thought ought to;
be done. Nor shall I hereafter, I trust,
expose myself to such a charge, ff
the Maine Law be right iu principle,
and if the movement of the mind be ofi
Gad, it will prevail; if not, it w-ill fail.
After deeply reflecting on the sub
ject, I have come to the conclusion that
it j s ~f (iod, and that those honestly
contending for it, are noting in confer
imty to his wall. That public opinion
is opposed to this law in our cities and
largo townsis, I believe, true. But in
the rural districts it is, 1 believe, equally
true, that it is already decidedly in its:
favor; end I cannot feed that the sash- •
lonuble usages of cities, or the pecuni- ]
ary gain of those engaged in t'sis most
nefarious traffic, should control the
acts, arid jeopardize the interests rs the

Rumseilet’s Advertisement-
Friends and Neiohuors, — Having
J jlist opened a commodious shop for the
I sale of “Liquid Fire,” 1 take this early
i opportunity of informing you that, oil l
j Saturday next, 1 shall commence the ]
i business of making drunkards, paupers |
and beggars, for the sober, industrious j
] and respectable portion of the comma- ]
; oily to support.
1 shall deal in “fumiliar spirits,”
; which will excite men to deeds of riot,
robbery, and blood, and by so doing
1 diminish the comforts, augment the ex
| penses, and endanger the welfure of the
! community.
j I will undertake, at short notice, for
’ a small sum, and with the greatest ex- 1
; peditiori, to prepare victims for the ;
asylum, tho poor houses, the prisons >
und the gallows.
! will furnish art artieie that will in.
crease the amount of fatal accidents, j
. multiply the number of distressing i
! diseases and render those which are 1
j harmless, incurable.
1 wrii deal in drugs which will de
prive some of life, some of reason, most
of property, and all of peace, which
will cause fathers to be fiends ; wives
widows ; children orphans, and all >
’ mendicants.
! 1 will cause the rising generation to ‘
grow up iu ignorance, and prove a bur
den and nuisance to the nation.
I will cause mothers to forget their
sucking infants; virgins tin ir price
less innocence.
1 will corrupt the ministers of relig
! ion, obstruct the progress of the gospel,
defile the purity of the church, and]
cause temporal, spiritual and eternal >
1 oeath ; and if any should he so irrijier- j
tinent as to ask why 1 have the audacity
to bring such accumulated misery up
on a comparatively tiHppy people, my
honest reply is—Money.
Tho spirit tradu is lucrative, and
some professing Christians give it their
cheerful countenance.
1 have license, and it f du not bf'.sg
these evils upon you, somebody else
will.
I live in a iond of liberty.
I have purchased the light to demol
ish the char actor, destroy the health,
shorten the lives, and rum tho souls of
those who choose to honor me witti thrir
custom.
I pledge my self to do all 1 have here
in promised. Those who wish any of

I will, for a few cents, furnish them
