OF Jouette's memorable exploit:
Among our younger readers
there are probably few who can
tell you who Jack Jouett was;
and no we propose to give them
that information. The British
com. lander, Major Tarlton, with
his $50 mounted free-bOoters,

there, saw them and OWNED their
purpose. Leaping upon a horse
and taking a shorter road which

Charlottesville in time to give the
alarm, upon which the members
Of the Legislature promptly ad-
journed aud retired 10. .StauDton;
and riding up to Monticello he
notified Mr.. Jefferson, who was
then governor Of the state, who
after hastily securing his most
important papers and sending
his family of in a carriage to his
Bedford county place, mounted
his horse and rode away over
Carter's mountain, just AZ the de-
tachment sent by Tarlton to ar
rest him appeared in sight. Jou.

the detention OF Tarlton at Cas-.

breakfast. DR.. Walker had, Of
course, left, but his patriotic wife
upon one pretext ..and another,
postponed the breakfast for two
hours. while she dispatched a
message to Charlottesville fifteen
miles distance. to give the alarm.
In this, however, Jouett had an
