"Some demon has put that torturing idea
in my mind" she said to herself over and
over again, while considering the possibility
of such case. "It cannot bet is only

around me still. May Heaven protect me in
my loneliness and desolation. My heart warns
me of some evil to come!''
In the tribulation of her spirit, the sorrow
stricken woman fell upon her knees and pray
ed, with bitter tears, for help from the Al
mighty, against all threatened dangers. Her
heart was very heavy, and the fresh excite
ment she had undergone seemed, for the time,
completely to have unstrung her nerves. She
continued all through the remainder of the
day in state of the deepest detection, and
not even the presence of her baby-boy, which
usually diverted her from sad thoughts, could
in any way dispel the shadow that hung over
her.

band of savages was discovered near their
camp. Captains Demere and Stuart had
scarcely time to arouse their men, before the
Indians poured in deadly fre-killing Cap
tain Demere and twenty-six of the men. The
rest were all surrendered and hurried back to
Fort Loudon. Stuart was the friend of Alta
kullakulla. This old chief bought his friend
Stuart and released him from captivity. The
other prisoners suffered unutterable hard
ships, and were afterwards, at great cost, re-
deemed. IL
The condition of things were now gloomier
than they had ever been before. The Chero-
kee towns had been burned, and multitudes of
their old men and women and helpless chill
dren had been starved to death; but they
were still masters of the field.
In the early part of 1851, Lieutenant Col.
James Grant was sent by General Amhurst
to South Carolina to reduce to subjection, or
to annihilate, the Cherokees. His force con-
sisted of regiment and t#e companies.
Another regiment, commanded BY Col. Hen
~ Middleton, wss furnished by South Caro-
lima. Thsother officers Of this regiment were
Francis Marion, Isaac Huger, William Moul'
trie, Owen Roberts, Andrew Pickens, William
Mason, Adam McDonal and james McDon-
al. These men made names for themselves
during the Revolutionary struggle. Several
individuals of the Indian tribes; also joined the
expedition. ~ = aarG'@
With all possible speed, Grant hastened to
the Cherokee country. salona, the young
warrior of Estatoe, was shouting amongst his
fellows: II am for war whoever will not fol-
low me is no better tnan woman"
On arriving near the same spot where the
engagement between Montgomery and thet
Indians occurred the year before. the advance
party, under Capt. Quantine Kennedy, met
the Indians. A terrible conflict took place.
For three hours.sthe Indians fought with
desperate courage. At last the undisciplined
sons of the forest way. Grant pursued them
with fire and sword. The towns we're reduced
to ashes, the cornfelds were destroyed, the
hogs we're killed, and men, women and chill

the Cherokees was broken. The name Of
Grant was terror. Afterward, when they
would drive the cattle out of their fields, they
would shout "Grant, Grant" Co. Grant re-
turned to Fort Prince George. tshe Indians

HISTORICAL SKETCHES III
OF THE
Early Settlement of South Carolina.
BY REV. ROBERT LATHAM.

THE CHEROK KEE WAR.
James Glen was succeeded as Governor OF
South Carolina by William Henry Lyttleton'
One short sentence will give an accurate des'
scription of Lyttleton. He was vapid cox
comb. He belonged to that class of men who'
with but small amount Of sense, and inca
pable of turning to any wise account either
their own experience or that of others, still
think that they are competent to govern the
world.
Evidently, Governor Lyttleton was anx.
ious to secure the appreciation Of the Bsard
of Trade. The good of the colony was eca'
suited no farther than it would concentrate
the power of England over the American
people, and advance, to positions Of honor
and offices of profit, few favorites.
After the treaty which Glen made with the
Cherokee Indians, peace and harmony sub.
sisted between the Cherokees and the English
colony of South Carolina. Not only were
the Cherokees friends to the South Carolin'
ians but they were friends to the English
colonies generally. During the period of the
French and Indian war, which was so des-
tructive to the Northern frontiers, South Car.
olina enjoyed comparative peace. The Cher.
okees sent their brave young warriors to assist
in repelling the assaults of the French and
Indians in the North. South Carolina be.
came an asylum to which many, exposed to
the cruelties of savage warfare in Maryland,
Pennsylvania and Virginia, fled. The fields
of South Carolina began to bring forth in
abundance, and the exports of the colony in
creased rapidly. A stream of immigration
poured in from all the countries of Europe
All lived together in the enjoyment of peace
and plenty.
An unhappy end was brought to this pros
porous and peaceable state Of things by the
foolish resentment of Governor -Lyttleton,
We will not say that he had sinister motives
in view, but We are forced to conclude that he
was either knave or fool. He acted as il
he were ignorant of the fact that the Chero
KEGS were the friends of the English. As he
could not, however, have been ignorant Of
this fact, his acts towards them we're in open
violation of previous treaties, and showed
that his heart was as cruel as bis judgment
was weak.
He was not the only individual who acted
cruelty and in bad faith toward the Chero
KEGS. In 1857, number of the Cherokee
braves volunteered to assist in protecting the
English frontier settlers south of the Potomac
After they had done their part faithfully and
rendered material assistance to the English
Colonies, they were totally neglected and but
for the prudent forethought and consummate
wisdom of Washington, would have been lef'
to starve or to be cut to pieces on their return
home by the common enemies of both the
English and Cherokees. .
The proud savage of the New World was
no doubt, cruel but the colonies were not al

"Ah where indeeds Anywhere, to change

For an answer, Picciola brought little Paul

prompted her to the act was true and wo-
manly one, and Esther's heart responded to
It, as she clasped the child yearnlngly to her
bosom.
"For your sake my treasure, l will endure

"Heaven grant me the power to shield you

order to save his wounded, was obliged to
make hasty retreat to Fort Prince George.
All the way from Etchoe to the fort, the saw
ages kept annoying him. On arriving at Fort
Prince George, he announced that he was un'
der orders to set out, Immediately, for New
York. This announcement filled the from
tier settlers with grief To quiet their fears
and afford them some protection, he left four
hundred men, and in August set out to join
General Amhurst.
The departure of Montgomery left Fort
Loudon in most critical condition. From
its location, it was cut off from the civilized
world and exposed to continual assaults BY
the savages. In the fort there were two hun
dred men, but the Indians kept it so long
blockaded that the officers were reduced to
the alternative, either to surrender or submit
to starve to death. It was decided that Gap"
tain James Stuart should 60 to Chota, the
town Of which Oconastata was chief, and
make the best terms for surrender that he
could. 1t was agreed, that after delivering
up the guns and ammunition of the fort, ex.
cept what each soldier might need, the garri.
son was to march out with a kind Of military
honors and be escorted either to Fort Prince
George, or to some point in Virginia. The
sick and disabled were to be taken care ofby
the Indians in the neighborhood, for which
they we're to be paid.
Having surrendered everything except ten
bags of powder, and ball in proportion, which
were buried in the ground, the garrison
marched out and proceeded, on the first day,
fifteen miles on their way to Fort Prince
George. During the night the Indian escort
left them. Early on the next morning a

ernment of the tribes, that one individual
had no control over another. In despair OF
effecting anything toward peace, he retired,
determined to await the result as brave old
man. Scarcely had be gone; until Governor
Lyttleton recalled him, and succeeded in hav-
ing a treaty signed, in which was embodied a
number of articles which the chiefs either did
not understand, or were forced to sign from
the necessitous condition in which they were
at the time. In the meantime, some of the
perpetrators of the violent deeds complained
OF, were delivered up to Lyttleton. By him,
an equal number of hostages we're released.
It was now ascertained that the small pox
was raging amongst the Indians. Lyttletons 3
army became panic-stricken, and disorderly
rush was made by each one, separately and
alone, for bis home. The governor ordered
the hostages to be kept in close confinement
in Fort Prince George, and with his few pris.
oners, be set out to follow his army to Charles
ton. These poor prisoners were kept in
Charleston until they died. Not drop Of
blood was shed during the expedition and
no good was accomplished, but much harm ;
yet it cost the province more than one han-
dred thousand dollars.
When Lyttleton arrived at Charleston, he
was received by his party as mighty con-
queror. Scarcely had he arrived in the city,
when it was learned that hostilities had bro
ken out again in the neighborhood of Fort
Prince George. Fourteen individuals were
killed within the range of the guns Of the
fort. For Cotymore, the commander Of the
fort, the Indians had contracted an irrecon.
cilable hatred. They surrounded the fort,
determined, if possible, to release their twen-
ty-six chiefs Imprisoned within its walls under
