MARION QUELLING A MUTINY. ââąMarion hau piac« d one of nis detachments at the planlation of a Mt G» oigt Crofls. on Sampil Creek. 'I'iiis pt.son had piov«d mvanably true to the American cau.'^* ; had supphi-il the partisans secretly with the riiuiiiuuns of war, with « aitle &nd provisions. He un luvalid, l.owever, sufffing from a mortal infi.mity, whu'h eonipelled hit. re moval for medical aumdauce to Georgetown, then in possession of the «ii{ my. Duiing the absence of the family, Maiiof, plaf'»d .i ji ii; am m the dwell ing-house, for iispioifCiKn Fiom this pla*'e, the gu'ird was expell d by two of the brigade, and the tiouse sinppe-d of its coutfuts. The facts were first disolosid lo Manon by Col P Horry, who received them from the wi/e of Ciolts. This lady pointed lo the sword of lier husband actually at Ihe side of the principal ofT nder. The indigna tion of Marion was not apt to rxp« nd uself in woids. Redress was promised to the complainant and she was dismissed. Marion proc(ed«d wilh nli dili gence to the recovery of thr propeiiy But his course vvas governed by piudt nce as wi ll as decis ion. The olFenders wore m* n of some influ* nee, and had a small faction in the origade, which had already proved troublesome, and init>ht b»* danger ous. i3ae of them was a ujKjo!, the oihrr a captain Their names are both befort us in the MS m( mon of Horry, whose copious df'iHil on this suDject h aves nothing to be supplied. Wt lo:bf-ar giving thenr». as their personal publication would aiisvv( r no good purpose. They were m onmiand of a body of men, about sixty in nuintu i, knt>un as tlu Georgia Refugees. Upon the minds of iht-se men the of fenders had alrtady sought to act. m M len nce to the expectcd collision with in* a Gin- ral. Munon made his preparations with hi^ ordinaiy quu iii. ss, and then despatched Hor«y to tfi*- prison who w»is in the possession of the svvord of Cioft; tor which he made a formal d»nnnd. He M iu>rU lo give jt up, alleging that u was fiis, and iakn in war âą It the general warn? it,â he adiied, * itl him come for it hiinsi Ifâ \Vh»n ihis leplv was comisuniu ttcd to M tfion, ins'.ructi i H..

Ma non ifx n dispa chfd hi? ordt riy to liie j might see him at fjtad quarters. He appeariKl ac- I cordingly, accompunip J by the captain who had â >V. RAiXFY, located lifmself j joined with him in the outrag». and under whose \ncn:ly i;i C;.n;â.o.â-1. rs*. C.. tenders his ser- I inll'jence he appeared to act. Marion renewed his he pULilic iu the aljove line of business, demand, in per«on, for the sword of Crofi The other ngam refused to detiv«;r it alleging that -Ciofl was a Tory, and even then with the enemy in Georgetown.â ââąWill you deliver me the swâord or not. Major ?â was the answer which Mai ion made lo this suggestion. T will not,* was the reply of ih* off* nder. Ai these wordsâ says Horry in the MS. before u?, âą I could forbear no longer,and said wilh great warmlh. By Gâd, sir, did I command this brigade, as you do. I would hang them both up in half an fiour!â Marion sternly repliedâ This is none of your busi ness, sir: they are both b» fore me fâSergeant of the guard, bring me a file of m^ n wilh loaded arms and fixed bayonets!â I was silent,â adds Horry; â all our field officers in camp wâere present, and} when the second refusal of the sword was given, j lli'=ya»] put their hands lo their swords in readiness to draw. My ov.ân sword was already drawn!â âIn the regular service, and with officers ac us- tomed to. and bred up in. the sevi re and etern sense of authonty, which is usually thou^jht nocessaiy to a proper discipline, the Fefractory ofT ndei would most probably have bren tiewn down in the moment of his disobedience. Thâ- âą fleet of such a proceed ing in the present instance, inighi have been of the most fatal characiei. 'Iâh* esprit du corps mighâ hare prompted iht* immediate follow'ersof the offen der to have seizâd upon their weapons, and though annihilated, as Horry lells us tfiey wâould have been, yet several valuable lives might have been lost, which the country could ill have spared. Th»* mu tiny would have been pui down, but at what a prict ! The patience and prudt nc of Marionâs character taught him foibearance His mildness, by putting the ofTender entir* iy in tht vvrong, so justified his severity, as to disarm itie followers of the criminals. These, as we have nirendy said, were about sixty in number. Horry coniinu»s:ââTheir intentions were, to call upon iht se m n for supportâour offi cers well knew they meant, if possible, to intimidate Marion, so as to [make him] come into their meas- urt s of plunddr and Tory killing â The affair for., lunaiely terminated wâthout bloodshed. The pru dence of the general had its effect. The delay gave lime to the offenders for reflection. Perhaps, look ing round upcn their followers, they saw no consent ins spirit of mutiny in their eyes encouraging their ovi'n; for âthough many of these refugees were present, none offered to buck or support the muti^ nous ofiicers:âand when the guard that was or dered, appeared in sight, the companion of the chief offender was seen to touch the arm of the other, who then proflered the sword to Marion, saying, â General, you need not have sent for the guard.â Marion, refusing to receive it, referred him to the sergeant of the guard, and thus doubly degraded, the dishonored major of Continentalsâfor he was suchâdisappeared from sight, followed by his as sociale. His father punishment was of a kind some what differing from those which are common to armies, by which the profession of arras is some timec quite as much dishonored as the criminal. Ma non endeavored, by his punishments, to eleyaie the sense of character in the spfctators. He had some of Che notions of Napoleon on this subjeci. He wâas averse to those brutal punishments which, 'in the creature, dt^rade the giorious imag^e of the Creator. In the case of the two ofI-'wfers, thus dis missed from his presence, the penalty was, of all others, the most terrible to persons, fti wâhose mind there remained the sparks even of a conventional honor. These men had been guift7,of numerou!» «>fft nces against humanity. Maric?n expelled them from his brigade. Subsequently, their actions be came such, that he proclaimed their oullaw'ry throâ th» country. 13y one of these men he was chal- h nged lo single combat, but he treated the summons with deserved contempt. His composure remair:ed unruffled by the circumstance.â Fel*. 2S ISM, ro-:v. CHARLOTTE .-âu.^inrs.Q ijirrctovfi. J'irer::ji.âCharlotte Hotel, !)y Moses W.

The miseries of travelling have teen made the freque.jt subject of humorous complaint; but the best plan of alleviating them has not been so o^lcn discusst d. I have but one remedy to r ^scrib«~cand if faithfully tried, I belipvo this to bu sufficient, namelyâself forgetfulness. 7âhert* 1$ nothing which prodt:crs io mâjcii dis may, particularly to single gentlemen, (of which I am one, gentlo reader!) as the presence of a crying child. But even this infliction is susceptible of mit igation. Lft me illustrate. One intensely hot noonday, a few w'eeks since, I entfied a railroad car. Being a modest man, I sunk upon the first seat that was unoccupied. I was congratulating myself upon my good fortune in 6'curing so com modious a position, when, for the fiT«t time, I dis covered that I was riding vis a vis find in close pro pinquity to a woman and her babyl At fir.sl I wae horror struck. 1 lo->ked about me for SGine mtans of ercape. Alas! rsota vacant seat was anywhere visible. At this crLv.;of rr.ydiscov- j eries, I might set for a model of Dismay. Had i the lady been beautiful, or even pretty, my condi-j tion would have been endurable; Dirt ^ir -from this, j she was almost repulsively ugly. -The baby was j a little biue sLinnid, sickly thing, rhich looked as | if it had been suckled by a bottle ol skimmed milk. | Had I s( en it in the street, I shoulJ have pitied it; | but here, just beneath my eyes, a foUow prisorM.*r in j the same iravelling car, it was loo rouch ! my very i soul loalhed it. | âFortunately,â thought I, â we src in a-rail road carâthis purgatory will have and end But my congravulaticns cornmenctd too soc/n There was a delay in starling. We set vvaitin^ a full ten min utcs. Thf* baby began lo cry, and beg for 'mippy â (1 aftervva ds was informed by Ihe^other that this 1 was the baby-synonym for milk) Mamma strove ' in vain lo hush and quiet it. Nurricrous were her eirpcdients to call its tltentiin to Eurrou||||||^pb jecis. Her ingenuity arr'.sed me. â It'|^^^Bby | of a belter occupation,â fnotJghl Li | 'I'he poor woman Ending these efforts vain, com' i rnenred an altark *\. r, babyâs rnesiory and imagin-1 ation.

Kiiiy ! kitty! kilty I kiuy! â Come, kitty, and see Addy! ' Addy raised* her head, and opened her large black eyes Evidently imaginaiion was not sufficiently active to change the figures upon the canvass carpet into âa little kitten with a white spot on its tail,â for she screw- ed her little dirty face into a w'orse shape than be* lore and broke into a loud scream. â Scissors,â thought I, burying my face in a large bof;uet I earned m my hand. The perspiration./ell in big drops from my forehead. I wished myself a brick wall, though it is said that even walls have cars At this moment, I felt something tugging away at .>ne of the roses in my boquet. I looked up and found the babv had seized the choic^'sl of the bunch, and was clenching it firmly in her dirty little fist. O, what desecration I My flowers, my brauli ful flower?, prsented tome by the lily fiand of my lady love, from whom I had jus: tenderly partedâ my dear, beautiful flowers, lo be mauled in this way by a little diiiy, squalling baby! Bah ! I was rca dy to faint. I looked ligh'.ntng, and was about to groul tkun der, when I was arresicd byâWâhal do you guess, gentle n aders? What do you suppose could have checked the nghteous indignation of a spirit so out raged in Its holiest and lenderest feelings? Pity my weakness, when I confess it was a smileâyes, a little smile from that little foolish baby 1 I could not h^lp itâI strove against the infirmityâbut sof ten my heart would, like snow in a south wind; and before I was aware of my danger, I had smiled in leturn ! âą Pretty flowers, ninl they, Addy?â said the mo ther, casting down her eyes, modestly. Forgive me, my beautiful Margaret; but there was something in that modest look that brought thee to my thoughts. All the soft, and all the heroic traits of womanâs character occurred to me. Thinking of Marga ret made me feel like a lover to the whole sex.â âąThe woman isnât so ugly, after all,â though I.â â The mother is in her face.â Baby still clung to my flowers, looking up all the while, and smiling in my face. â What does that smile insinuate?â though I. âAh, theses bc'- gin their arts early. The baby is certainly the ino- iner of the w'oman. This little pice of coquetry here, has put on her pretty wiles to seduce a flow er from me. Shall I be boy enough to jâield? I pursed up iny mouth, and locked together my teeth, resolving to come off victorious, â The gentleman is very kind to let you look at his flowers, isânt he, Addy â *â said the mother.â Heavens ! how these words pierced my conscience! I ' kind Iâ No, I was the greatest churl in exis tence What would Margeret have thoughtâmy kind, gentle Margaret, who had collected th^-se sweet flowers to cheer me on my journey ? Would she not have deemed it a poor requital of her love to refuse a flower to a poor little suffering infant?â The blood rushed to my cheeksâmy hand figet- ted among the rosesâI drew one from the cluster IâIâI blush to confess it, dear readerâI gave it to THE BABV ! When I recovered from the shock which this folly gave me, I heard â Addy â expressing loud de lights and the mother earnest gratitude. I donât know how it is, bul there is something in a wo manâs thanks that goes directly to my heart. I commenced serious efforts to assist her in amusing her hungry child. Whenever the baby began cry ing for â mippy,â 1 began conjuring up expeditnâ.s to ipacify her.

'Jâhr'y rejoiced in the names of James Johnson and Joseph Brown, and were accused of absiraet'ng cakes from a coflee f'.and in the market: â What do you sny to ihis chargc V' said the Re corder to them. â Vy, ve says net gui!:y, of course,ââcaid Johnscr.; *âą no one aint bound to criminate hiniseir.â' V cs, but you were seen taking the bread by the negro,â said the Recorder. â A negro amt no witness against a wliileboy, no hew you can fix it,â said Brownâ"And besides,â said Johnson, âą* cakes ainât bread no more nor fleas ainât lobstersâso there canât be no indictment found for si aling iâ.â iv'coiderâ- But another person than the negro womau savv you take the cakesâthe Commissary hoii.M ii saw you do it.â B'o.\nâVeil, vot of it; it warnt no burglary, âlatise It was done in daylight, and there warnt no lock bi(7ktn.â Jofm on -âYes and I should like to ask tl.e gem'an .as how he knov\s, sâpose we did take them, but that We meant to pay for them. Jt is not every one ihai takes things on credit es can be prcsect2â.ed tor larc»ny---nol by a long shot.â Recoidor - B-^ih of you seem to have no incon.* sidt rable expe rience, young as you arc, io the rules ot cuuri and criminal practice - have you ever been up before a couit before?â Johnson--W^e is not bound to nt'.swer that âere question, âcause our âkracters haint been impeached. Brown --[aside ioJohnson]'--*âRight, Jim ; mumâs the word about âkracter--guess we aint quite so green as ht' (aivts os to be.â Recorder âą Weil, 1 shall send toih rf you fo tho Work-house for thirty days : you are evidently too idle, 100 vicious, and I may add loo cunning, ;o bo ptrmiued to go at large.â Johnson-' Wâe calls for a trial by jury, your hon or, and a speedy trial al that. The constitution guar antees it 10 every âxnerican citizen, and we aintagoin to be chizzled nut of it no how.â Recorder-'*'At all events, I will send you to the work house for the present. I wish lo see if 1 can not learn something more about you.â Johnson, as ihe cflicer took them cut of the court ââVeil, thrr. Iâm bloâ.ved if we dont get out on a â haby corpy.â â The unanimous opinion of rII the court who wit nessed this ââforensicâ display was. that Ma'ters Johnson and Brown are a most promising pair of youths, and most probably destined, in the coursc of human events, to add to the productive industry of the State by a residence for a fixed lerm in the Baton Rouge. A FACTORY GIRL. The Kennebec Journal gives the followâing description of the romantic adven tures of a New England âFactory girlâ: âMiss Irene Nichols, daughter of Mr. Nathaniel Nichols, of Monmouth, Kennebcc Co., while at work in a factory in DorcheEter, Maes., some four years since, was offered very* liberal wâages to go to Mexico, and engage in a factory just establsheJ there. She, with S others, accepted the offer.â W'hile there, she became acquainted with Herrera, ilie present revolting and puccessful General, with whom slie contracted marriage. She made a visit to her friends in Maine, last summer, during which she received frequent letters from Herrera. She left here in July of Auguat last, for Mexico, via New York, when she obtained a license, and was united in marriage to Gen. Herrera, by his represen tative, the General not being able to leave Mexicoâ a step rendered necessary, as the parties were both Protestants, and could not be married in Mexico, a Catholic country. Herrera is now President of Mexico, having f;is head quarters at the national palace in the city, and this Kennebec âFactory Girlâ^ now ârevels in Ihe Halls of the Montezumae.â Gen. Herrera is of German extraction, and we are given lo understand is an ardent admirer of the institu tions of this country; and woul(f not be opposed to the union of Mexico with the United States. A po- ciety, extensive in its ramifications already exists in Mexico, with a view to the accomplishment of such a project,'* Marriage cf Adam and Z7re.âWâe h'ke short courtships, and in this, Adam acted like a sensible manâhe fell asleep a bachelor, and awoke to find himself a married man. He appears to have popped the quesiion almost immediately after meeting Mdâ- Ile Eve. and she without any flirtation or shyness gave him a kiss and herself. Of that first kiss in this woild we have had, however, our own thoughts, and sometimes in poetical mood have wished we were the man â'what did it.â But the deed is doneâthe chance wâas Adamâe, and he improved it. We like the notion of gening married in a garden. It is in good taste. We like a private wedding. Ad amâ/# was private. No envious beaux were there; no croaking old maid.«; no chartering aunts and grumb ling grandmothers. The birds of heaven were the minstre/la; and the sky flung its light upon the ecene. One thing about this first w'eddinjr brings queer things to us in ppitc of ita scriptural truth. Adam and his wile were rather young to be marriedâ some two or three days old, according to the ngcst speculations of theologiansâmere babie?âIrtrger, but not olderâwithout experience, withrM*. r I.nu.pc, vvihout a pot or kettle, nothing but love sad Eden! â Ilalijux 2>opcr.
