Mary Anna Gibbes.

When the news reached Charleston that the
British had encamped on Mr.. Gibes plarta-
ton, the authorities Of that city despatched
two galleys to dislodgc them. These vessels
ascended the river in the night, and, arriving
opposite, opened heavy lire upon the nra-
lers' cncanpmcnt. The uIen bad received
strict injurctions not to fire npon the house,
for fear of injury to tie family. it could not,
however. be known to Mr. Gibbcs that such
caution had been given and as soon as III"
Americans began 10 fire, dreading sone ac'l-
dent, he proposed ~ lis wife that they should
take the children ard seek a place OF greater
sufuty. Their horses being in the enemies
hands, the; had no means of conveyance
but Mrs. Gibbes, with energies reused tu e%'
crtion by the danger, and unxiuua Gully to &C.
cure shelter for her helpless charge, Get out
to walk with the children TO an adjoining
plantation situated in the interior.
Adrizzling rainwas falling, and the weather
! was extremely chilly. The fire aiincessant
from the American guns, and sent-in order
to avoid the housc-in direction which was
in a range with the course of the fugitlves.
The shot, falling around them, cut the bushes
and struck tie trees on every side. Exposed
each moment 10 this imminent danger, they
continued their flight with as much haste as
possible for about mile till beyond the reach
of the shot.
Having reached the houses occupied by the
negro laborcrs on the plantation, they stopped
for few moments to rest Mrs. Gibbes, wet,
chilled exhausted by iutisue and mental anXs-
ctv, felt her strength utterly fail, and was
Obliged TO wrap herself i'll blanket and he
down upon one Of the beds. 1t was at thls
time tba, the party first drew breath freely
with ,hunktulncss that the fears OF death were
oycr-that, on reviewing the trembling group
TO ascertain if all had escaped uninjurcd' 1t
was found tha, a little boy, John Fenwlck,
was missing. In the hurry and terror oil Their
flight, the child had been forgotten and leit
behind What WAS now to be done lne
servants refused to risk their lives by retnrh-
ing for him; and, in common humanity, Mr.
Gibbcs could not insist that any one should
undertake tic desperate adventure. The roar
of the distant guns WIS still heard, breaking
at short intervals the silence oi tue night
The chilly rain was falling, and the darkness
was profound; yet the thought ot abandon
ing the helpless boy to destruction was agony
to the hearts Of his relatives.
In this extremity the ,clf-'eVotlon ol a
young girl iuterposed to save him Mary
Anna, the eldest daughter of Mrs. GibDes,
then only thirteen years OF age, determined
to venture back in spite Of the fearful peril
alone. The mother dared not oppose her nc
bic resolution, which seemed indeed an lnspl'
ration, Of heaven, and she was permitted to
go. fastening along the path with all the
s},rtd Of which she was capable, she reached

TIE LAST AND TIE BEsr.-The Rocking
ham Register gets of the following incident
Of Manassas:
Capt. bowman, commissary of the 10th
regiment, gives us an amusing incident that
came under his notice at the battle OF Ma
uassas. Passing from bis regiment to the
ordnance wagon, in the midst of the retreat
of the enemy, he met d wounded Louislan-
ian, who had in the excitement OF tue mo-
ment forgotten his severe wound, AMI had
raised himself up by bush and stood upon
one leg, watching with overilowins JOY the
flight ofthe Hessians. Bowman was attract
ed to him by the extravaganza of his demon
strations of delight. God Almighty said
the wounded man, see how they run Did
YOU ever see such rnnning?' Seeing that he
was badly crippled, bowman asked him what
was the matter "My legs broke, but don't
care d-nI Ny God SEQ how they rum!
all the while clapping his hands az if he had
never before in his life been 50 haPEy.

Who have gone to heavenly mansions

Is wrong to mourn their absence

Should we check the sigh OF Sadness
Though they're in better land!

And with songs of joy to greet them
When this toll Of Inc is o'er?
Is it wrong to think them dearer
Than the many Of the blcst
Who to US on earth were strangers!
Must we love them like the rest:

And oh tell me, if yc will,
Will that mother know her children
Will she rccolieet them still
Can she look down from those windows
To this dark and distant shore!
Will she know when AN coming:

Incidents OF thc War.

Tie Savannah Republicans war cnr:espon-
dent, under date oil Sept. 10th, near Fairt:'x.
relates the following
predicted some months ago that the pres
cnt war would abound in acts Of individual
hcrosm One Of the most gallant leats yet
performed, occurred ucar the Great Falls, Oh
the Potomac; above Washington. two days
ago. The parties to the Affair Oh the contcd-
crate side were six men, including two Tigers,
belonging to General Walkers Brigade OF
i.ouisauians They had gone Up to the Fails
on visit, and while there discovered twelve
of the enemy cruising about in tie river In
batteau. They concealed themselves until
the Yankees got uenr thenl, when each ore
selected his man and fired. They killed Blk
tho first lire, and subsequently captured four
others aud wounded another, leaving only
one who escaped to tell the tale.
The lat Georgia Regulars went to Muusoa's
Hill day-before yesterday, on picket duty
They took their blankets and five laYs' ra-
tions The sti Georgia returned last night
from the same duty. a few days ago, the
erelny's pickets, in that vicinity, got piece
Of stove pipe, which they pointed ut our pick
cts, as it it were cannon hoping to give
them scare. The ruse was failure, how.
ever. But our men, not 10 be outdone, also
procured section Of stove pipe, mounted il
upon pair OF old wheels, run it out in f',l
view oi the pickcts Gil the other side, and
commenced to swab it with great energy
whereupou, tue Yankees took to their heels
and scampcred of over the bill after the
fashion Of regular Bull Runners.
The days are very warm and the nights
very cool. Last night found two blankets
and shawl insufficient to keep me warm. Tic

the iogs unusually thick. ''iliils and fever
are likely to be tue Consequences. General
orders were Issued Yesterday 10 have fires
