THE INDIANS REPLY 10 ACHALLENGE.
The Indian has more sober sense than the
white man. When the white man is chal-
lenged bya reckless and desperate enemy,
he thinks it is more honorable to shoot his
enemy through the heart than decline the
combat and so fearful is he Of the charge
of cowardice, that he will take the field,
risk his own life, stain his honor With the
blood of once loved fried, when candid
expression of his feelings would have; healed

From Pcarson's History of Fairfield,
TIE REVOLUTION.

vt the commencement of the war, the cit
izcus of Fairfield were about equally divided
in their politics. The European settlers said
.:they had just arrived in the country-that
they had come in on the Kings bounty
had obtained their land by his grant, and it
was ungrateful 70 turn against his govern
meut" Many of the Virginians and Penn
sylvanians turned their thoughts on peace.
There were but fewnative Carolinians in the
District. All, however, were indomitable
Wings 1t was something strange after all
that the sons Of Green Erin were mostly
found on the royal side. An apology may
be made for them. The people from Antrim
had formed themselves into strong militia
company under the lead of James Phillips
elected their;oflicers, and had taken all pre-
liminary steps to render their services to the
colonial and revolutionary government.-
While about passing resolutions to that effect,
John Phillips, an Antrim man, arrived on
the ground. He was person of great au
thority, and in an address to the persons as
sembled, perverted the whole into downright
toryism.
In the course of the war many of the
Wings established character for heroism.
They had to perform double duty, and they
robly performed it. The names of John
Lyles, Che was liner,) Thomas Woodward,
Aramanus Lylcs, Robert Hancock, John
Pearson, Benjamin May, John Cook, Andrew
Gray, John Gray, John Kincaid, Edward
Martin, John Bell, George Perry, with
many others mentionedin this history ought
to go down with honor and gratitude to pos
terity. Can we love too much the memory
of these good and true, if not great men
They were great men, for they were patriots
and warriors "without fear and without re-
proach."
Fairfield was a battlefield 1t was re-

and marching up encamped on the South
side of the stream. Thecreek was not large,
but the banks were high steep, and imprac-
ticable. Here the two armies met face to
face, but both concludedto retire without o
battle. Rawdon dropped down towards the
low country, and Green with his .wretched
force, almost naked, swarming with vermin,
and scrawny with famine, took post at Mr..
Reuben Harrison's. They needed every
thing. They tented under the blue arch of
heaven, slackened nothing in resolve and
purpose, but looked manfully forward to
happier times and brighter days. Mr.. Har-
rison had been with Sumter in his perils, his
partial success and his defeats He thought
like soldier and felt like 2 man. He or
dered his people to forward to the army
breadstufs, vegetables, fat cattle and sheep
in plenty. Green remained at his bivouac
for whole week, living on the hospitality of
Mr.. Harrison. When about to leave, hav-
ing no strong box, he rendered to Mr.. Har-
rson certificate for the bountiful supplies
he had furnished. "No," said Mr.. Harri-
SOD, owe are engaged in the same great
cause; you are welcome to all You have re-
ceived your success will be my pay"
In one Of his marches through the up
lands, Washington's corps Of cavalry halted
at Ingleman's Mill, Oh Wilkinson's, some
times called Owens Creek. His object
most probably was to watch the motions of
the British Colonel, Innis, who was posted
at Schurrer's Ferry, afterwards called Stroth-
ers, now called Ruf's, or Hugety's. Wash
ington was wholly out Of money and out OF
supplies. The Commissary, Mr.. Hutchin-
son, was sent over to Phillip Pearson's, who
lived near to ascertain the chance of procu-
ring meat and bread for the men, and pro-
vender for the horses; and if these necessa-
ry articles could be had, to provide for trans
portation to the destitute camp. For one
week Washington's men and horses were
abundantly furnished from MIR. Pearson's
farm. There are bright stars in the cap OF
Fairfield, and ought not to be suffered to
grow dim or escape the memory OF CRATE
ful posterity. .',.
The sons of Fairfield have done much
military service. They fought at the field
of Guilford, and on every hilltop, and in
every valley in their own State. They
fought for North Carolina, Georgia, Tennes-
see, Alabama and Florida. In the last Brit
ish war, troops from Fairfield, at the tap of
the drum, marched for the seaboard. In the
Seminole war, they we're off to the swamps
and everglades Of Florida as quick as horses
heels could bear them; and in the Mexican
war they distinguished. themselves at Vera
Cruz, Alvarado, Cerra Gordo, Contreras,
Churubusco, Chcpufepec, and the gates of
Mexico. ..........

lf(tsteuaneous Aeabtng
SEATS IN THE SENATE.

A writer in the New Orleans Crescent,
describing the United States Senate, makes
the following illusions to two Of South Caro-
lina's departed sons, the memory of whose
fair names will ever be dear to the papers
of this State:
II come now to another seat that will be
vacant at the next session of Congress-that
of the gifted, and gallant and chivalrous
Butler. No Senator on the floor will be so
sadly missed Alike by his fellow Senators
and the public generally, his loss will be
mourned with deep and tender sorrow 10
those who have been accustomed to see the
Senate when he was member, it will be
difficult to realize that it is the same body
without him.
{" A stranger, on entering the Senate,
would be at once attracted by Judge But
ler's appearance. His long, full suit of hair,
white as snow, and hanging carelessly down
his neck, gave him the appearance Of an
older man than his really was. His quick,
nervous, impulsive manner, his uniform rest
lessness, and his frequent short speeches on
the various subjects before the Senate, made
him man of mark at once
During the most of the time that he was
in the Senate, Judge Butler was Chairman
of the Committee on the Judiciary. The
duties of this Committee were very labori-.
Gus, particularly in the cases of contested
election. No such case was ever presented
to the Senate, that he did not move the ap-
pointment of special committee, so as to
relieve the judiciary Committee of the task
and, in every instance, his colleagues on
the Committee, recorded and sustained the
motion. But the Senate invariably refused.
The Judiciary Committee, it was the proper
body to investigate such questions, inasmuch
as they always involved points of constitu-
tional and legislative law. On one occasion,
Jude Butler declared, that his committee
had been instrumental in turning out three
or four members Of the Senate, and that it
4 gave him pain to be compelled to do it. A
strong conservative in his feelings, any If.
regularity in an election was, with him, pri-
ma tacie proof Of illegality. q. -,
What more especially directed attention
to him in the last Congress, was the chas-
tisement of Sumner by Brooks. 1t will be
recollected, that, at the time Of Summers
speech, the Judge was absent from the Sen
ate, at his home in South Carolina Had
he been present, Sumner would no more
have dared to use the language he did, than
jump from the dome of the Capitol. After
the chastisemeut that Brooks inflicted upon
him, it was, supposed that the Judge would
still further resent the indignity. But
Sumner, in the meantime, was confined to
his lodgings, and the old Judge was content
only, at the earnests solicitation of his friends,
to reply through the same channel, and in
the same way thatthe offence had been com
mitted-a speech in the Senate. =.
This speech was the most elaborate one he
ever made. It occupied part Of two days
in its delivery. With large pile Of books,
and other documents, on his desk before
