the lower Pedee, opposite the chain OF
British forts on the line of the Santee river
that covered Charleston on the north. From
this stronghold his band sailed forth, di-
rected by scouting parties that kept watch
upon the movements OF the British, and
harassed and annoyed the enemy more than
an army would have done
The British at length attempted to break
up "Mr. Marion, as he was known in their
official dispatches. Col Tarleton, the leader
of the southern Tories, tried to pursue the
band after one of their wild incursions with
In the British lines. He failed, and two
parties were sent out from the forts on the
Santee line, one led by Col Watson and
the other by Doyle. Watson started in
March, 1881, with 500 regulars and Tories
and marched from Fort Watson, on the
Santec in the direction OF Shows Island.
Marion had exact knowledge OF Watson's
progress and by'a swift march met him in
the swamps between the Santee and Black
rivers a spirited fight took place, and
Watson's advance body Of Tory cavalry
was driven back upon the infantry sup
ports. Marion then retired before Watson,
frequently laying an ambuscade for the
British, and at Black river made ready for
u UttlSlFc CDIlDdL.
A bridge on Watson's route was thrown
down and a body of rhemen was placed in
the low swampy border on the east bank
Watson boldly opened with field pieces
from the high ground on the west bank
But Marion's sharpshooters cut down the
British artillerists on sight and forlorn
hope party that tried TO storm the passage
was driven back with the loss of its leader
and of all the men who rallied around HIM
Watson declared that he had never seen
such shooting in his life" Finally . gave
it up in despair and sent letter to Marion
imploring him to go back to regular meth
DDS of warfare and fight in open field
Marion took no notice Of this, but pushed
his daring swamp fighters across the stream
up to the very outposts Of the British camp,
drove them from place to place, and at last
got them into corner where Watson was
glad to accept from his opponent permission
for the wounded to pass on TO the main
British lines. Before the British escaped
they were compelled to fight for the road
way Watson's horse was killed under him
and he saved his head by narrow chance
This was at Sampit bridge, on the road to
Georgetown, on the lower Pcdee The fail
ure of an ambuscading party to do the
work cut out by Marion alone saved Wat
son from destruction at that time.

Educational.
To the editor OF the Republican.
]. ll...., Il

To the editor Of the Republican.
] have been very much gratifed
to notice from time to time the deep
interest manifested by your paper in
school matters. This has prompted
me to suggest that you open an
educational column and invite the
teachers to discuss some topic along
this line. 1t would surely tend to
awaken a deeper interest in our
schools and at the same time be in
structive. | believe that through
this medium we will be enabled to
elevate public sentiment In favor of
progressive work and interest all
upon new and important subjects.
Therefore feeling satisfied that our
suggestion will meet your hearty
approval we venture to contribute a
short article on subject that we
think is Of vital importance to our
schools, viz:
UPPLEMENTARY READING.
If the purpose Of education is to
make children intelligent and to
cultivate in them a love of study
and Of books, the introduction Of
supplementary reading matter into
our schools must be regarded favor
ably. 1t is natural for pupils to
desire reading books when they be-
come interested, but how can we
expect them to take an interea in
reading when they are held dAwn
for years getting through" frotl a
series of cut and dogreaders. five
expect to get our boys aud girls h-
terested we must give them variety
in reading. My experience is tAt
the great majority of our young D.
dies and gentlemen are poorly post
ed in general literature. No tase
for reading. Fellow teachers, what
is your experience ? | have reached
this conclusion: That it is the dut9
Of our School Commissioners to
furnish each school with supple
mentary reading matter, also that
they require every applicant for a
teachers certificate to pass an ex-
animation in literature. N.Y..

brother was basely murdered by Tories
who captured him, yet the great partisan
was slow to rctaliate for Tory excuses.
In one of his later campaigns, long after
his brother had been murdered &nd

patriots who espuused the cause Of lib.

that some of Lees men were hanging Ger

for formaliyies he rushed TO the scene OF
execution sword in hand, saved the life Of
one man who was about to be strung up,

The turning point in Marion's career was

alert and active while within his reach.
Shows Island was fortress surrounded

Policy Rather Than People.
The statesmen who are making a psycho-
logical study of Mr.. Cleveland believe that after
the close of the holidays they will be able to
make some shrewd guesses at the cabinet, and
that they will know what the President-eiect's :
wishes are and what they will be expected to do
during the remainder of the session.
A great many democratic statesmen have
spent part OF their hard-esrned salaries for
tickets to New York, desiring to get in the same
atmosphere with Mr. Cleveland and learn wis
dom. But few of them have returned. and
those who have are now in seclusion.
Apparently Mr.. Cleveland is not disposed to
talk with them about the cabinet or any other
offices. He seems to be more interested in
questions OF policy, and suddenly there is a
greatanxietv on the part Of the active leg tors
over the question of the repeal Of the Sherman
