There's that Jack Macdonald, acrittcrthat could take the hide ofT a painter in a fair in lesa time than a yoiler belly could whittle off* a scalp. And then there's Bill Jasper, who, efhe aint got much la-nin', knows an awful lot of hen man natur, and ken whip his weight in wild cats. As to Pete Snipe, I've seen him tackle a dozen red skins a lick, without a finger of powder or n tingle lead drop, and cave 'em as efthey'd bin corn shucks. As fur Turn Newton, and the rest of the company, I don't know a dern fight about Vrn, but they look as ef they wouldn't turn tail for any Britisher or valler belly in thecol'ny, and I've a notion that in that respeck they don't look fur out cr the way !' At this moment, the attention ol the scalp hunter was drawn from the platform to the crowd which was now miking demonstrations of a turbulent character. In another instant he heard a cry — 'Look out! the sheriff* i* comin'down on us!' cautious ho* you tamper with ".he crown! • I feel disposed to pity your weak minds, and to overlook your great crime in refusing to obey my order, but only on one condition." He paused, as if expecting some reply ; but receiving none he resumed, in a voice thick with emotion— ' But it is only on one condition that, in the name of the king, I will overlook your great act oftreaaon, in refusing to comply with the order which, as a servant ol the crown, I have given/' He paused ag.tin, and thre'v his eyes over the multitude, with an expression of great sympathy. ' A nd this condition is, that every good and loyal subject ol his majesty, King George, shall instantly leave this green and walk out into the high road. This will enable me to distinguish who are for oprn and avowed treason, and who are for the King !' .And with these words, the sheriff rest), med his seat in the saddle, and smiled complacently as if in expectation ol be hotding the mass break in a thousand frag, men is, and scatter and rc collect out upon I he road. What then, was his amazement, aftep the lapse of nearly half a minute, to disco, ver that of the throng nrft a man had moved, and that the high way was as void of J llieir presence as before ! Ho rubbed his eyes, and looked around him wildly, like a man who feared to place credit in the evidence ol his senses. Finding then that his eves had not be? Irayed liirn, that the multitude regarded his offer in the same light with which th°v hod treated his order, that is, with indifference and contempt, tile sheriff threw ol the mock expression of sympathy he hod assumed, and turned with a countenance bla- tors coming up.' He had scarcely uttered the warning, when the woodsman glided up, and passing his long, powerful arm around the officer's waist, lifted him from his saddle and placed him before him on his own horse. ' Now, Nell—now, old gal !' and away flew the marc, with her double burden, back to the green'Give way, friends, give way !' sried the planter to the crowd ; and let no man insult this gentleman. He is my friend !' The packed masstlivided, and the officer passed slowly off the green, and approached the troops. 'Comrades!' he cried, 'resistance is use. less. We are in the hands of men w ho know their power, and are prepared to use it. My brother and I are prisoners, but you are freo to return to Charleston, when you have laid down your guns. Spare me the pain of giving you, that order, but be. lieve me wlion I tell you it is necessary if you would not lose your lives !' In a moment every man had unslung his carbine and dropped it upon the earth. 'I thank you, gentlemen,' continued the officcr, 'for this manifestation of your confidence. And now, comrades, farewell! I need not tell you what report you had lDest make on reoching Charleston. Farewell!' The troops raised their cops in token of adieu.; then forming ievto four lines of six men each, they dashed off, and were in a few minutes out of sight. The officer looked after Ihem till they had disappeared; then wheeling his hoise about, and uttering a deep sigh, he rode slowly back to the platform on the green.

So Btidden and daring had been the whole movement, the soldiers could ocarce- Iv credit it as real. As to the two young officers, they were bewildered ; as to the gentleman from St. Johns, he was stitpefi. ed. And the multitude upon the greeri, ta. king it simply for a brilliant stroke of genius, rent the air with deafening hurrahs of admiration and delight. 'You are my prisoners,' said the planter in as calin a voice cs he could assume, to the officer lie had captured. 'Blood lias been shed, and you will consider it as an evidence that I an sincere tvhen I fcDll you your life is not worth a pin's fee, if you make an effort to escape. Your sword !' 'You have the couruge of a soldier, and • he air of a gentleman, replied (he officer, 'and I feel confident «hat my blade, which has never yet been tainted by dishonor, will, with its master, find honorable treatment at your hands." As lie finished, ho drew the weapon from its sheath, and taking it by the blade, he presented the handle to the planter, who received it with an air of grace and dignity, which called forth » murmur of admiration from the. crowd. 'Yours,' he continued, turning to the other officer ; 'nav,' he added, as the prisoner turned inquiringly to the scalp hunter, who replied to his glance by a nod of approval, 'I ask it of you in his name, and that of your brother—from whom you would, doubtless, not desire lo be separated!' 'Oh, no !' answered the prisoner, taking his kinsman by the hand. 'Mr. Ackerman,' continued the planter, 'you will give me your prisoner, will you not, in order that they may not be parted?' •He was yourn from the moment he was taken,' answered the woodman. 'f knew it, or I had not spoken,' said the planter, with a smile of gratitude. ' You will therefbte perceive, sir,' he added, to the officer, 'the propriety of yielding up your sword to me—to me, « ho, as \ our c .nqueior, cannot permit you to retain it.' '1 lie officer no lonsrer hesitated. our words of honor, now, gentlemen, ns soldiers,' continued the planter, 'that neither of you will attempt to escape.' The officers drew themselves up. '1 ask it of you as gentlemen, continued the planter, with an air of Ruch supreme dignity and grandeur, that the officers intuitively recognised in him a being far superior to themselves, 'that I may not be compelled to wound your delicacy, by treating yon like men who would vitiate their honor.' 'I give it to you sir,' said the first. 'And I,' udded the second. And in the voice and air of the planter, so replete with all the elements of true gentility, the brothers felt an innate influence, magnetic in its tone and effect, gliding like drops of mercury through their organizations, and subduing them to a sense"of their inferiority, which they could neither define nor resist. 'One thing tnore, gentlemen,' said the planter 'Your troops must lay down their arms and retire fronwhis country. Oblige me by returning to the road, and giving them the order.' 'Nay,' said the first officer, ' you are now asking loo .nuch. I cannot do that. It would cover ihern and myself with dishonor. They do not regard themselves as your prisoners.' 'But they soon will be or what is woise, d«Dad ' Reflect, :hey are in a hostile attitude to five hundred men, three hundred of whom tiave rifles in their hands, each charged with a messenger thut kills whatevcrit strikes. These men are unerring marksmen, too, and impatient to test their skill upon your troops, whom they regard us foes. Reflect, sir—reflect!' 'I hare reflected, sir!' answered the young man, haughtily. 'Reflect ugain ! The passions of this multitude are aroused ; their hearts incensed against a monarch who has Died the blood of their brethren: and your woops wtar the livery of that king !' •You have had my answer, sir!' 'And I ask you to reconsider it. It is to *pare the lives of your troops that I ask you to do this. Reflect—twenty four soldiers cdnnot battle with three hundred keen ryed marksmen, and live to relato the feat. They may make the attempt, but they will fall as the sheriff fell, drop as their leader dropped, iu the effort.' 'My men understand their danger, sir, and are willing to fuce it!' 'But do they desire to do so ? Your own good sense must tell you, judging from what yon have seen, that they .cannot live three minutes from the moment our men raise their rifles. The de*tiny of these troops is in your hands, not their own.*— Though soldiers, they are .yet men, and as such cling like men to life. If .you refuse lo comply with my request, so they can march off alive, they will remain, but it will be to kiss the earth, to .take their eternal alumber.' 'Enough, sir,' returned the officer, 'I am ready to accede to your wish-' 'Tia well, sir. I will not insult your honor as a gentleman bv accompanying you. Take my horse. 1 will await here with your brother, till you return.' The young officer bowed, and sprang lightly into the saddle. 'A passage, there, friends!' 1he ' months or the whole year.
