The war meanwhile went on with inCreas-

first ran in Marion's favor, had now turned
and his enemies were everywhere in the as
= cendnnt. The army of Greene was IN North
Caroins wstchng CORVALLIS. Lord Raw
don held Camden with large force. All
the other important posts were in the hands
of the British. Marion, for the first time
disheartened, talked of retiring behind the
mountains. Armed bodies of tories, mean
while, trayersed the country, plundering ut
4 will, and hanging, without the form Of
trial, those Of their unfortunate prisoners
who were found in arms.
!, Mr.. Mowbrsy had long contemplated ri
sing in favor of his country again, and no
&ine seemed to him as proper as the present,
when alIaoihers were becoming disheorten-

her aunt, who had always maintained strict
neutrality; so there was nothing to hold him

to rendezvous at the Hall.
\ Mowbray Hall was one of those fine old
mansions few Of which yet etlinger in South
Carolinia, fast fading monuments of the de-
parting splendor Of her old provincial nobil-

long avenue Of trees, and was a large doub-
