HISTORICAL SKETCHES
OF THE
EarIy Settlement of South Carolina.
THE RETREAT OF GENERAL GREENE.
BY REV, ROBERT LATHAM,

THE RETREAT OF GENERAL GREENE.
CONTINUED
General Greene hoped that the North Car
olina militia would be able to dstain the Britt
ish at the Catawba long enough to allow
Morgan to get his forces out of their reach
In this be was disappointed. All that the
militia, stationed at the fords of the Catawba,
could effect, was to retard the progress of the
British 80 that the main forces might gain
time. Under the circumstances, all was done
that could be- Still it amounted to nothing.
The British crossed the river not without loss,
but the American gain amounted to nothing.
So soon as the Guards, under O'Hara, eff.
fected crossing, the militia dispersed in
every direction. A place, some ten miles
distant, called Terrant's Tavern, had been
appointed as a place of rendezvous. This
fact CORVALLIS learned, and sent Col. Tarle-
ton, with bis cavalry, to attack them. 1t had
been raining all day, and the guns of the
militia could not be fred. Tarletoa came
upon the militia at Terrant's Tavern in de.
fenceless condition, killed a few and put the
whole to rout. The loss was not great, but it
discouraged the militia. Had their powder
not been wet, the result would fave been, in
all probability, very different :.
The two divisions of the British army-the
one under Webster which crossed the Cataw.
ba at Beattie's Ford, and the other under Earl
CORVALLIS which crossed at McCowan's
Ford-were again united on the second of
February, about FIVE miles from the river on
the road to Salisbury. From this time the
race began. The freedom of the American
colonies depended upon the skill, endurance
and perseverance of the forces under General
Greene. The destiny of the thirteen colonies
was in their hands. Greene was i'll provided
with means to do what he felt must be done,
or the cause of bis country would be hope
lessly ruined. Provisions were scarce, the
men we're ragged, many of them nearly ma.
ked and barefooted, and there was not q
dollar in the money chest.
The only thing which was favorable to
Greene and promised success to his underta.
king, was the fact that he was now in a COM
munity in which the British had few friends

gone days, OF early dreams, when IN one orle
interval Of your dreary life a rosy future
seemed dawning upon you, that swept ove'
your spirit now, stirring it, shaking it to its
core :, Or was it sense Of the utter, desolste
blank of your surroundings that struck cold
to your heart, wringing from it that involun
tary confession of its secret woes For few
moments she yielded herself without restraint
to the outpouring Of her emotion; then start
ing up, with an almost fierce gesture she
dashed away her tears, and flung back the
disordered hair that had fallen about her face
"Fool !fool p she exclaimed, passionately
as with hasty steps she traversed the room, and
drawing apart one of the curtains, looked out
upouIthe tranquil beauty Of the night "Shed'
ding baby!tears over the breaking up of an il
lusion that none but an idiot would have cher.
isbed! Put aside now and forever such vain
fancies put aside all thoughts of yourself
You are not worth a thought-you we're never
made to be loved. 1t is your fate submit to it
and cease your wicked murmurs, your useless
complaints. Oh beautiful, holy stars, shed
your calm rays into my heart; look down on
me with your friendly eyes and speak to meof
comfort and of peace. Whisper to me OF
higher aims, of nobler joys than l can seek
belowl Cool this fevered brain of mine, still
its restless throbbing, lead my thoughts and
my hopes to those happy worlds above at
whose portals you stand and watch. 1t is
better, yes, far better, that I should be denied
all earthly happiness, if I can learn thereby
to centre my desires on holier things" i.
Long she stood gazing out, until gradually
the peaceful aspect of the starlit landscape
around her, the glittering expanse of the blue
heavens over all, penetrated ber'with sooth'
ing and comforting sense of Gods protecting
care and of His sufioienoy for her utmost
needs. Religion had never been made lovely
to her. Her mother had shown it to her only
in it's austere form and given her no example
Of its beni6cent results; but something of its
true meaning, as if in answer to her cry for
consolation, seemed to creep now into her
heart. and she grasped eagerly at its offer Of
support and help. A prayer, imperfect and
halfformed, yet perhaps the sincerest ever
framed in her thoughts, rose silently, for
strength and grace from above and for bet
ter understanding Of the will Of God, which
she desired to fulfill. ...., ... -..-.
Il beg your pardon, my lady; were you

round. ri was looking out to enjoy the pros

is beautiful and quiet around"

And then Geraldine put herself in her
maids hands, and was soon ready to retire.

case was taken before the Synod of Philadel-

which was progressing at that time, the case

was stricken from the roll of his Presbytery,
and consequently from the roll Of the Synod.
In 1751, in the month of August, the an.
tiburger Synod of Scotland received peti-
ton from Alexander Craighead, earnestly
beseecbing that the Synod would appoint
some ministers to labor in that part Of Amer
ica." At this time, he was at Middle Octara-

asked, why did he, in conjunction with others,
earnestly beseech" the anti-burger Synod to
come over and help him. The answer is this !:

gave utterance to sentiments far in advance
of his age. The theme was civil and relig.

Christ is the King of Zion. In other words.
he advocated the dismemberment Of the
Church and State. This was reasonable
sentiment, and so regarded by Thomas Cook.

turned to his seat, and when he next spoke,
it was, to address some trivial and convention
al question to her in the most formal Of
tones. Geraldine inwardly repented of her
hasty movement, but was too proud to en-.
deavor to conciliate him. She assumed as
distant manner as his own, and breakfast
passed off uncomfortably and stifay enough,
neither of them making much effort to sus-
tain a conversation. When it was over, the
Earl took up his hat, remarking that out
door business demanded his attention, but
that he would probably return by one o'clock
"We shall then have luncheon" he continued,

his affection. Nor did she care to win his af-
fection-at least, so che told herself, resolute-
" forcing down the swelling at her heart.
All her life, she had lived without love- It
was late for her to begin to crave it now.
Here, in this luxurious home, she could sure
ly find enough to occupy her time and awaken
her interest, to drive away ennui and keep
her from foolish, sentimental thoughts. She
would read, practice, walk abroad and visit
the poor, finding her happiness in dispensing
charity and comforting the needy; and when
it was her husbands pleasure to have her
with him, would endeavor to prove herself an
agreeable companion, and to demonstrate by
her cheerfulness. that she was perfectly con-
tented and happy in her isolated position.
When his friends we're invited to the castle,
she would receive them with the dignity be-
fitting her new rank and the courtesy due to
them as his guests, giving him no cause to ind
fault with the manner in which she filled her
post and presided over his household. She
would, in short, conscieutiously discharge all
the duties of her sphere. and putting aside all
thoughts of other joys, seek only the appro.
val of her own conscience as the highest re-
ward in life. Desiring nothing more, she was
armed against disappointment. Caring for
no one, it mattered not that no one cared for
her, or was likely ever to do SO. ..
And yet? .-... ... -.... ....

your very soul? Was it some memory of BY
