II.'- Immediat.ly after tbe British took Charleston io Mar, 178, thev tent out parties in ill direc tion to ovostud tbe country before the people could reoovel from the shock. Major McCartj, who commanded tho 71st Regiment of High binders, and !flajiir Weui vs, of hunting and house burning memory, directed tbeir march to the Cheraws. Some few but very ineffectual efforts were made to collect militia and volunteers to make a stand and form a rallying point to such refugees an would swin encase ia the service of their country, and wait the arrival of continental troops that were expected from the northward. A small party of tuts kind had as sembled tt Haly's Fcrry.on Pee Dee river, but the adva.ee of the Urili.ili was to rapid, that General Harrington (under whose auspices they had convened,) and the whole party were com pelled to fly in various directions. The General himself, with a Major Speed, and a young man of tbe name of Brown, commenced their flight to gether, with the determination to persevere until tbey found an army with which they could re turn iu safBuient force to meet the eneuiv- After circuitous -route of more than two . hundred miles around Scotch and Tory settlements, tbey joined tbe Baron De Kalb at Doudu, about sev enty or eighty miles trom where tney started. Here th. army bad come to a halt lor want oi provisions, tbe country between Cape Fear and 1'ee Dee river being a pine barren that yielded do supply- And seeing the army was not likely tn mni'H annn. (Hon. dates not havtntrthen come on. General llarrincton and Major Speed beirtin to he w, utyiiUneu.wu'esa0a tamiUes,X1leltdaj wag in-tempting to-eross tbe now in the midst of a country entirely overrun bv the eneiuv, and wholly unprotected. With a little encouragement from Harrington, Speed de termined to return and bring his family off; at tbe same time he prevailed on Brown to return and bring off Mrs. Harrington, with so many of their slaves as would be willing; to come caution was out of the question. . The two adventurers went on very well until they came within two miles of Haly's Ferry, where peed detertuitied to leave the road and direct his way through the woods to bis own house. Brown had to cross the river and make his way four miles further to the residence of Mr. Auld, Mrs. Harrington's father, where she then was. It was about midday when they parted, under piomise of meeting at a certain place on the river two days afterwards. Haly's was one of tbe most publio ferries on the river, and parties of British and Tories were very frequently cross ing, so that it required Brown's utmost secrcsy and address to get auross. After disposing of his horse ia a rye field, he crossed several publio roads that led to the ferry, and got below it, under the river bank, and so near that he could hear the conversation of the passengers. In this Mturtioi-h-aw-ihaLBnegr( kiy had discove red him, snd as the matter could not be concealed if he chose to betray him, he called the fellovttand after exacting his promises he sent him for his master, who was a known good Whig, but not having been very active, could still appear among some of the less violent of the Tories, and was not personally known to the British officers. This man. readily agreed to take a fishing canoe from the landing, and drop down the river as though he was coin" a fishing, watch an opportunity to take in Brow B; and convey him across ooncoaled under bis coat thrown into the bottom of his canoe, the weather being very hot. In this sit uation he crossed almost along sido of the ferry boat, containing a British lieutenant and a known violent Tory, who had been through the Scotch settlements exciting them to insurrection. These people were so much engaged telling the news to the ferryman who was also a Tory of some notCj that they never noticed the canoe with any de cree of attention, and the concealed passenger! got the benent ot tneir intelligence as wen as the Tory ferryman. Bemgsafely landed he made I the best of his way on foot, sometimes along, the i road and sometimes in the woods as circumstances ; required, until he came pear Mr. Auld s planta- tion. But as the houserrrood near a puDlic roaa, , it.was dangerous to approach it without Some j a "p dij For' mhJen ,U other ans 0f-j Vrofessor' Vyxell, htote arcntvanos -mMswom, previous intelligence with' the family, and to ef-' Mb k L lite iu stealin- a i "d State Antujuanus Hildebrand Tbe exanu Lt this was attended with some difficulty. .

He now showed himself snd beckoned her to him, which she did, accompanied by her three sisters, and, immediately after, her father and mother, all extremely anxious to hear from the txeneral, and itoow prospect oi -our army t - approsch. Brown delivered his letter, aid the ladv asrreed to en with bim to hcr husband. A place was appointed to meet at, and the next mornint- the time to commence their flight, lbe eld genaiemsjiawn jaiejiiieMjiioiipii itv. insisted on his troimr to the-hi'Use and takinn tutuu x... -B- - ! but he promised to make two of his servants keep sentry, and the ladies joining in the request, be. yielded to their importunity. Refreshment was take, and the news was told ; the young ladies played on the guitar and tang delightfully, while tbe time imperceptibly passed. Brown wat suddenly aroused from his golden enjoyment by tbe arrival of two British officers, four dragoons and Ss many inveterate Tories, all alighting from their horses at the door. The ladies surrounded and pushed him into t room, turned down the clothe tnd placed him in the ruidd'e of a bed, covered him up bead and ears, and thco seated themselves along the front of it, one leaning on s pillow which rested on hit boulder, as though she was tick, and the other attending to her with considerable anxiety. In the meantime, the party entered the house and tested themselves. Tbey enquired tbe news from the rebel army, and asked if they had not seen young Brown, who, they understood, 'had lately returned from their camps. The old gen tleman utterly denied having beard anything of uob s person, and firmly believed be would not venture into so dangerous a situation. " There is no tolling," said the officers, " what a man will do in tbese rebellious times. If you have not seen him there is no doubt you will, for be must assuredly must have letters from the Gen eral to. his lady. He was at the ferry tbout noon, and uiay not have reached you yet, but most as suredly will and we, also, should be very glad to have little conversation witb him. After about an hour of sucb conversation, tbe officers and dragoons took their leave. The Tories re mained two hours longer; in hopes ' of cajoling the old man into some kind of confession, or in entrapping hi in in conversation, for it was evi dent they did not believe his sturdy denial. During tbese most distressing three hours, the door of the room was left open, or it would un doubtedly have been searched. The old lady was constant in her attendance with medicated teas and pretended nostrums for her sick daughter, while the others were as attentively engaged iu prevailing ou ber to take them, and condoling with heron her distressing malady. But Brown's was not the must unenviable situation. The weather was excessively hot, and being covered, and close pressed down in a feather-bed, if he had drunk gallon's of the old lady's lea, he could not have perspired more freely, and nut a drop of water could he get. Notwithstanding the con tiguity of three Of the finest vomit; ladies in the state, an conversation was iiiteraicico, ana me predominant idea was s dungeon or a baiter. Tbe only consolatory word that reached his ears, was, that if the British offioer had nut been on command on a most interesting occasion, he would have guarded1 the house in expectation of entrap ping the rebel that night, While he lay, stewed and weltering, many solemn promises were made not to be found again within the walls of a house, while he remained within the British lines; and the very thought of a feather bed us execrable But not so the ladies to their pure philanthropy and benevolence his gratitude was due, and ever afterwards, when he spoke of them, he seemed to lack words to express his grateful sensations. . . t. i , , . , As soon as tbe iones were gone, be arose from his place of concealment, and after renewing his appointment wi:h tbe lady, he again struck into tbe woods to seek a lodging in tbe lap of some bollow tree or sequestered comer of feuce.

But as he approached the ferry with silence and precaution, ho soon dis covered that a guard had been placed there, and tbat scounting parties of horse were continually coming and coins. Not a canoe or other' warfer craft was to be found ; all were collected and placed in care of the guard. Hungry and fa tigued with fruitless researches up and down the river until the dusk of evening, be ventured to call at a lonely cabin iu tbe edge of a thick bushy wood, where lived a man on whose faithful at tachment he thought he cuuld rely. At the door stood bis wife. " Where is your husband V said he. " My God, Mr. Brown," said she, " I thought it was him when I saw you coming, and was angry that he should come in sosoou. Why, don't you expect to be killed every minute? The British and Tories are searching after you in every direction. The boy tbat discovered you yester day below the ferry,- ran away in less than en hour afterwards to the British,' and gave (hem notice of your being there, and parties have been riding all last night and to-day Gen.

While the I woman was talking as fast as she could, Brown picked up a hoe-cake which lay oo the shelf just inside the door, and desired her to tell her hus band to come to him at a certain place a3 soon as he could. At that instant, he heard the word eharge, and the breaking down of a fence at about fifty yards in the distance. He sprang round the corner of tbe house next the brush wood, as a volley of rifles were bred. Ihree f6a1l? g,fui1c the cornerM he passed it, but a few jumps, and he was enveloped, in thick bush and briars, impenetrable by horsemen, and the, dark ness favoring him be made his escape with the only supply of provisions he got for tour days af terwards. . .

Oitrtii.N-or thk Tkrm "Old Dominion." Few things are so well calculated to awaken in the mind of the proud Virginian, when wander ing in foreign lands, touching reminiscences ot home and kindred, as the si in pie mention of the " Old Dominion."' And yet there are compara tively few who are aware of the origin of the term which has so long and so generally been applied to Virginia. It originated thus : During the I'rotoctorate ul Cromwell, the colony of Vir ginia refused to acknowledge his authority, aud declared itself independent. .' Shortly after, when Ciouwell threatened to send a fleet and army to reduce. Virginia to subjection, the alarmed Vir ginians sent a messenger to Charles II, who was then an exile in Flanders, inviting bim to return in the ship witb the messenger, and be king of Virginia. Uharles accepted the invitation, una was on the eve ef embarkation, when he was called to the throne of England.. A3 soon as he wat fair ly seated on the throne, in gratitude or the loy alty of Virginia, he caused her coat of arms to be quartered with those of England, Ireland and Scot In ml, nn independant member of .the em pire, a distinct portion of the "Old Dominion.'' ' Hence arose the origin of the term. Copfiersoius of Virginia were issued even as late as the reign of George III. which bore on one sido the coats of amies of England, Ireland, Scotlaud aud Vir--ginia. Xutes ami Qupriet.- . What They Wuerk (joinq to no with Him. A few days since, a party of eighty North Carolina emigrants en route tor Oregon, passed through Danville,' Missouri. While stopping to make some purchases, one of them was pounced . upon by a lawyer of the Sown, who indulged largely in the not exclusively Yankee recreation of asking questions. The emigrant was quite communicative, and told him that they were going to found a town ; the pursuit of each per son was already marked out, and there were no drones amoiig thom. What was this man to do? He was to open a store. And that ? Start a blacksmith's shop. And the other, standing be hind him ? Engage in sheep raising. So they were nearly all inventorized, when a decrepid, white-haired octogenarian, ancestor of about half the company, and looking venerable enough for Time himself, was observed sitting in one of tho WTiywho. liTthat manT" asKea""rtHreager- questioner.
