We liavc read. ami learned ibltHMi*
tlonal legend and heroic verse, oHieeds of
daring performed by the gentler soxl&Bder

(Mr own country has been prolific in exnsMr
linns of I'onmle valor and fortitude, and 0%,,
ring the late war, we have seen them
trat< <1 in hundreds of instances. " I
But nowhere have we seen recorded, a
more daring exploit, or a more thrilling ad
venture, under circumstances better calcula
t'd to unstring the nerves of woman, or send
die blood congealing and chilling to her heart
titan the one we are about to relate. We re
late it, too, not as romance, not as all at
tempt at fancy word-painting, bnt as a truth
ful narration of un absolute occurrence and
event. The tragedy occurred in Putnam
county, ten miles from Cookville, the coun
ty seat, and near Bloomington Academy.—*
no facts are about these Mr. Larkin Gun
tor, his wife and daughter, Marianna, and a
grown son, with several smalk-r children,
occupied a peaceful home in Putnam county,
at the locality indicated, before the war.—
When hostilities commenced, and the whole
land was trembling to the tramp of mar
shaled thousands of warriors, Mr. Gunter
and and his son joined the Confederatearmy,
and with that feeling of patriotic fervor ani
mating the people of their section, fought
right gallantly under the “Bonny Blue Flag."
Before the close of the war, the old gentle
man, by leave, returned {home, in Middle
Tennessee, and found himself again with his
family. The son Ibuglit bravely on in tho
“lost cause'’ till the final surrender, when be
ton returned to his home in Putnam couhty.
Meantime a band of men had organized them
selves into a sort of self-constituted ‘.-regula
tors.” These men were nr t countenanced by
the people of Putnam. They seemed to de
light in the pcsceation of Southern men ard
especially returned Confederate soldiers. On
the night of the 20th of April last three of
these men went to the house of Mr. Gunter,
there being no one at home bnt the old gen
tleman, his daughter Marianna, a young la
dy of nineteen, and a younger brother. One
of the men was left to hold the horses, while
the other two, B. F. Miller and Alvin Max
field proceeded to the house and went in.—*
They asked if Mr. Gunter lived there, and
being answered in the affirmative, they asked
him to go out with them, saving they wished
to have a chat. Mr. G. told them if they
had anything they wished to say to “talk it
out there.” They replied by saying that a
tv [end of Mr. G's., a Mr. Fowler, hnd sent
them there. Miller represented Fowler,who
was well known to Mr. Gunter, as being his
(Miller’s) uncle. Miller also said that Max
field. his companion, was the son of an old
friend and acquaintance of Mr. Gunter’s,—
Mr. G. then said it would be best to have
their conversation in the presence of friends,
and sent his sou, a boy of fourteen, for somQ
of IPs neighbors.
Meantime, from the actions and some
woids dropped by the two men, Mr. G’s sus
picions became aroused, and he resolved to
get away from them if he could. In his at
tempt to escape the two desperadoes sprang
towards him with their drawn pistols. Thev
caught him, and the children commenced
screaming, the yourg son returned about this
time without any neighbors. The ruffians let
go their hold, but kept their cocked ) idols
presented at Mr. G’s head. Miller and Max
field again laid violent hands on Mr. Gunter
and forced him to go with them. As they
started off. Miss Marianna Gunter seized her
father's chopping axe, determined to defend
her parent to the last extremity. The two
men carried her father up a lane skirted by
some woods, to a spot about- three hundred
yards from the house ; the intrepid (Marian
na following with the axe and watching eve
ry movement. The ruffians now halted and
ordered Mr. Gunt' r to pull off his shirt. This
lie refused to do, and they commenced beat
ing him soundly, and kept it up until the old
gentleman become insensible. The daugh
ter, Marianna, about this time came to the
spot, axe in hand,-resolved to do or die. Pic
ture. if you can, a young girl of nioeleeen,
by “the moonbeam's misty light,” and in the
public road, unprotected, save by her intrep
id soul ai.d lusty courage, brandishing a
rude woodsman’s axe in the faces of two stal
wart ruffians, in defence of her father. Sho
was met by Miller who ordered her to retire.
She replied by a blow with the axe, that cut
the collar bone in too ; blow followed blow
in quick succession,till the man was prostrated
to the ground, covered with gashes. Max
field was at that instant in the act of shooting
her father. She sprang toward him, snatch
ed the pistol and threw it aside. With ener
gy and desperation, she seized Maxfield by
the hair, and. with the aid of her youpg ,
brother, felled him to the earth. Again she
applied the bloody axe, and three frightful
gashes left the blood oozing from where the
skull had been split. *
The third man with tho horses came up,
bnt the father recovering, he escaped. Mr.
Gunter, his brave daughter and little son re
turned to the house. The two men who had
felt the edge of Marianna’s fata] axe, lay in
the road, weltering in their blood till morn- '
ing, when they were carried to a house some
distance from this bloody rencounter. At
this bouse they both died of their woiinds.—
Miller lingered in great agony for fourteen
days, and died ; Maxfield died in four days
alter receiving his wounds. The old gentle
man. his daughter and son, immediately left
for Kentucky- though they have since been
back to their home. The father and the he
roic daughter are now in this city, and are
the guests of Mr. Bruce, at the Rock City
Tan" They bear, as we learn, an excellent
character (or integrity,honesty and veracity, ?
and the statement made in the foregoing is
corroborated by many persons who are cog
nizant of tlie facts. History, romance and
poetry may be sought in vain for a loftier
exhibition’ of courage, or for a display of
deep r parental devotion, than was evinced
by thisveung girl on that terrible and try-.
ing April night. _ . A- f
