Lord Desborough himself advanced to the
brink and looked down. Ts
"Those stones have evidently been thrown
in there for purpose" he exclaimed. "There
is something hidden underneath, I'll wager

"With bucket, and rope strong enough
to bear, I'd go down myself,.said Judson
"but this ere old rope is no good, my lord
certainly not. I would not have you per-

once and hunt up proper rope, or q chain'
and bucket. If there are none on the prem.
ises, ride over to the farm; no doubt you can
find them there. I will wait about here un.
til you return"
While the valet was gone, Lord Desbo-
rough, in reflective and anxious mood, re-
mained seated on the stone, to which he had
returned after an examination of the we'll.
Suddenly wild, shrill and startling cry, close
by, rang upon his ear, and springing up, he
turned and confronted spectral figure,
which, with extended arms, haggard face, and
staring eyes, bent upon the open mouth Of
the we'll, rapidly advanced towards the spot.

cried with anguished voice. "The stone is

in an agitated tone. But without reply, the
unhappy man rushed forward, and would

not Lord Desborough seized him and drawn
him back. Then turning his bloodshot eyes
for an instant on the face Of the latter he burst
into an insane laugh, and directly afterwards
fell in fit upon the ground.

upon the lonely, yet picturesque landscape
before here. ........
Suddenly, as she looked, she perceived
something that sent chill through her veins
and made her heart almost stand still. She
saw, amid the pendant boughs of the trees in
the orchard, as they swayed gently, to and fro
in the night breeze, figure, all in white,
slowly gliding along. From that distance
she could not perceive whether it was man
or woman but her thoughts naturally re.
verted to her former experiences, and super
stition lent her fancy aid to invest this new
apparition with as wierd form as the other
one had worn. 1t moved on until it reached
the old, ruinous we'll, to which her notice had
that day been attracted, then stopped, and
bending forward, with uplifted, waving arms
extended over the stone which shut down the
top of the well-a gesture of entreaty, or of
prayer, or of invocation, indescribably pathst-
ic and awful, in its effect, in that ghostly
light. For brief while it fingered thus,
while Geraldine, spell. l.bound, watched it with
fearful fascination, unable to withdraw her
eyes. scarcely daring to breathe-then turned
and vanished as it had come, amid the shad-
ows of the trees.
With swiftly hurrying steps, Geraldine, i'm
PEELED now by terror which fos the time held
her completely under its sway, sought the
chamber of her husband, where light still
burned. For sleepless like herself, he had
been occupied in writing, and was just put
ting aside his papers as she knocked at the
door. Scarcely waiting for bis answer to her
summons, she entered the room, and in an
agitated voice related what she had just seen.
"That old well-it has haunted my fancy
more than once, said the Earl. 'Go.morrow,
the first thing in the morning, I shall have the
stone removed. Who knows what We may ind
beneath ?"

treated by the British, still, as CORVALLIS,
with his army, was in their midst ofering
them protection, they could soon be induced
to espouse heartily the cause Of the enemy.
With perfect knowledge Of these facts,
General Greene ordered Colonel Lee, Of the
Cavalry, together with Brigadier.General
Pickens who had recently joined tho army
with corps of South Carolina. militia, and
Captain Oldham, with two companies of Ma.
rylanders, to recross the Dan and gain the
front of CORVALLIS and keep as close to him
as was compatible with their own safety.
On the morning of the eighteenth of Feb.
ruary, Lee, Pickens and Oldham, with their
several commands, crossed the Dan and set
out in the direction Of the enemies camp
On the same evening, they encamped on the
road leading from the Haw river to Hillsbo'
70. Two exploring dstaohments were sent
out-one towards Haw river and the other in
the direction of Hillsboro. General Greene,
that he might more fully communicate bis
plans to Lee, Pickens and Oldham, left bis
camp on the Dan, and under an escort Of
Colonel Washington's cavalry, reached the
camp of these officers late in the evening and
spent the night with them.
Early on the morning of the nineteenth,
the scouts sent out in the direction of the
Haw returned to camp. They had learned
that on the day before their arrival, Colonel
Tarleton, with body of cavalry, infantry
and artillery, had passed through the coun.
try. How many were in the body it was not
learned, but the object Of the British officer,
it was ascertained, was to cross the Haw, COL
lect corps of loyalists and act as an escort
to them whilst on their way to Hillsboro,
General Greene set out for his camp, on the
Dan, on the morning of the nineteenth, and
Lee, Pickens and Oldham, set out in search

panied by the other unwary horseman OF
Pyle, now advanced. Pyle had drawn up his
men as requested, and was himselfat the end
of the column most distant from the approach
of Lee and his men. As Lee rode along the
road past Pyle's men, he complimented them
for their good looks and praised their horses.
The poor dupes smiled most .graciously. At
last Lee reached the position occupied BY
Colonel Pyle and advanced towards him.
Then all along their line the loyalists and to-
ries shouted "God save the king
The understanding was, that 80 soon as
Lee would grasp the hand of Pyle, that the
cavalry of Lee would close inu upon the 10y
alists and demand an unconditional surrender.
It so happened that at this moment the mill
tia, under Pickens and Graham, we're discov-
cred by the loyalists on the left. They saw
that they had been led into trap, and COM
menced firing on the rear guard Of the Amer
lean cavalry, commanded BY Captain Eggles-
ton. The fire was promptly returned by
Eggleston and soon became general. Pyle
commanded four hundred men, ninety of
whom were, in a few moments, lying dead,
and q large number Of the remainder badly
wounded. Pyle,himself was severely wound.
ed. In the confusion, he fed to pond Of
water near by and lay concealed beneath the
water, all except his nose and mouth, until
dark, and then crawled opt. Those of the
loyalists not wounded, fled in every direction.
The Americans did not pursue them.
Such is war and such it ever will be. Il Is
said that Colonel Pyle and his men had been
carousing about in the community for several
days, enjoying kind Of drunken holiday,
before setting cut to join Corvallis Lee
taught both the loyalists and British a very
salutary lesson. Pyle's defeat was terrible
episode on the proclamation Of CORVALLIS.
It was now discoyered that the rebels were
not conquered. This event took place only
FIVE days. after Cornwallis had proclaimed
that it had pleased Divine Providence to
drive the rebel army out of the province Of
North Carolina. Most probably, the Earl
now thought it had pleased Divine Provi.
denee to bring the rebel army back into the.
province of North Carolina. #
