During the following years Gen. Ruther ford was Commander-in-Chief of the troops in this district, and at various times called them out to disperse- bands of tories, or to resits the British troops. In 17S0 he called out the militia, and about ninehundred men gathered around him near Charlotte, in June ot that year, ready to resis-t Col. Tarleton's approach to North Carolina. A.bout this time a tcrceot tones under Col. Moore was collected at Hamsour's Mill, near Lincolnton. Gen. Rutherford sent an ex- iress'to Cob Francis Locke, Captains Falls and Brandon, and others, to meet him west of the Catawba Riyer, for the purpose of dispersing the tories. But owing to cir cumstances not under control, it turned out that Col. Locke and his forces met the tories and gained the victory of Ramsour's Mill. before tien. uutneriord readied the scene oi action. This was the 20th ot June, 17S0.

In this new State lie quickly rose iut.o prominence, and in 1704, he was president of the Legislature Council of Ten nessee.

O f- 4" " Early yesterday morning a merry party of about fifty persons, members of the Lodge of Good Templars, went out on their anunal picnic, to Penny's pond, five miles southwest of the city. About 1 0:30 in the raorniug a mounted messenger rode into.thq city with the , news that an acci dent bad occurred at the pond, whereby two young men had lost their lives by drowuiug. A uuiiiIht of persons hasten ed to the scene, and on reaching the pond found the picnic party frantic with grief and terror at an awful calamity which had . occurred, and put an end to two young lives. Among the party were Beauregard Crocker, son of the late Alsey Crocker, a yOuth some twenty years of age, who w as employed at the store of John?V. Up cluirch, oh Xorth Market street. With him was John D. McMillan, a youth of about the same age, the son of Dr. V. G. Mc Millan, veterinary surgeon, who was em ployed as a machinists at the shops of Hooper, Newsom do Heartt, on West street. 1 hese two young men, soon after arriviug at the poud, went out iu oue of the small boats, accompanied by Miss An nie Mitchell, a young lady some sixteen years of age, tho daughter of Thomas Mitchell, of this city. The young men paddled to the head of the pond, and were returning to the dam, wheu the boat ran on a stump, w hose top w as just below the surface of the water. It stopped the boat, and the two men made several efforts to push it off, using the paddles for that pur pose, suddenly the boat capsized and its three occupants were thrown into the water. Miss Mitchell struggled to avoid sink ing, and both Crocker and McMillan, who were excelleut swimmers, went. to her aid. Crocker drst reached her, she grasp ing hiin tightly. In a few moments Mc Millan reached her, and she clung to him also. The two were so intent on savins; her that they thought not of themselves, and made heroic efforts to carry her to wards the bank, which was one hundred feet away. She held them so tightly and in such a way that they were unable to have the free use of their limbs. The result was that after she had been brought a lit tle nearer the land the strength of the two gave out, uud both, with the young lady, sank. Mr. Crocker was the-first to be ootne exhausted from his heroic efforts to save the lady and finally sauk for the last time. About 200 yards away from the scene of the drowning a boat was moored, in w hich silt Charles Jordan, Iley Rogers aud a small boy, all of this city. They were alarmed by the cries of the drowning men for help, and hastily releasing the boat from its fastenings, weut to the bend of the pond, whence the cries came. When they came near they saw the boat bottom upward aud the head of the young lady just goinig beneath the water for ihe last time. Crocker and McMillan were both out of sight, having tiuully sunk several seconds before. Mr. Jordan, the moment the boat arrived over the exact spot, saw. Miss Mitchell sinking, and dived at a blue" bow in her hair which could be soon in the water. He eaugh the drowning girl by her long hair. Both he and Rogers then plac ed her in the boat with much effort and she was taken to the shore. Attempts at resuscitation proved of good effect, aud 6lie was soon brought back to couscious- Middling V PRICE CURRENT. Corrected by J.l.
