the American Revolution from accident
"or interest; whilst it i3 not to be denied,
that the great mass of the people were

to tyranny and oppression. But it would
seem that Jordan Montjoy espoused I the

that Sir John FalstafF alleged lo have

with the robbers. It was not reason or

lady's request, took his pistols, mounted
ner horse, aod rod: to the creek. Whilst
the horse was drinking, he discovered
an Indian slipping from the bushes on
the bank nearest tne fort, and before he
could wheel, the savage had his bridle
rems in his grasp. With the quickness
of thought Jordan drew ' hia pistol and
lodged the contents of it in the bosom of
his assailant Such boldness und pres
ence of mind, such perfect command of
himself, under circumstances so well cal
culated to try the nerve of a lad, acquired
for him, very deservedly, a high character
amon? his associates in arms.
Many other incidents, similar to the
above, might be related, it is said, of this
youthful hero of the revolution. He is
yet living in Spartanburgh District, bat
very infirm from the exposure and suffer
ings of the revolution, which have brought
on a premature weakness of body and
mind.

A SCENE OP THRILLING INTEREST.
Police Office. Misery is well akin
to guilt," is the maxim of an American
poet; the truth of which philosophy and
experience unite in confirming; nor are
its unhappy effects merely confined lothe
guilty agent as a-most distressing exam
ple, exhibited in court yesteiday, will il
lustrate. A short-tirne since, a lad named David
B Bragg, offered some second hand books
KM fcaiC 4t tUC aiulum lwW o. .
Cornlnll, kept by Mr. Burn ham, where
they were recognized as being books sto
len from Mr. S. G. Drake's store, nexl
door. The boy was ol course arrested,
and implicated two other lad? as bjs con
federatesDaniel O'Brien and Michael
O'Brienbrothers the former twelve,
the latter nine years of age. The boy
Bragg was ordered to recognize for his
appearance' in the municipal court in the
sum of 8120, and warrant issued against,
the O'Briens, who were brought up yes
terday, and having confessed their privity
to the theft, were also reauired to He
boy, who also stood id similar auittrfi
opposite. A consubla bow attached his
weight to the boy's rear, mod after pallirji?
and hauling some seconds, M split the dif
ference" between tho mother, and ton,
drawing with him the cloak, and tht mo
ther, falling prostrate on the floor, by lire
force of gravitation. She fell her whole
length; and heavily, and appeared to fed
somewhat stunned by the fall, ami before
she could rise her bzt boy was consigned
to his cell.
Perceiving thst her desperate Btruggfe
had been unavailing, she tmdemrored ta
regain her cofnposare, and idjnst net
dress ;' but her agony was too harrowing
to exist without some external note, nod
though speechless and unobservant of the
place and. its functionaries, she comraeti
ced clapping. her bands in the wry cxas- .
Deration ofaespair. - Twice did the cr
der to leave the' court fa!lrf unheeding!
upon her ear, but the third summons she
obeyed, and as all present supposed, left .
the premises. But five minutes after she
was discovered, lying senseless, just be
yond the door, sod upon being moved,
she fell into convulsions, with loam and
blood gushing out of ber month. As
soon as a carriage could be obtained she
was removed, in some degree retired and
pacified.
By this time, the excitement and crrri
osity-occasioned by the singular .crntesC
which had taken place had -in .tome de- .
gree subsided, anfl the spectator had UU v
