At Isles* the year ISM, there jived io
Western Virginia, a mao whose strength wae
ao remarkable, at to win biota the litle of the
“ Western Sararon.”. He knew aching of bis
birth Or parentage, (rat supposed lie waa boro
io fVmtgal, from whence hie waa atoleo whan
a child, and carried to Ireland. His earliest
recollections were (hose of boyhood in the tat
ter country. While yet a lad, beapprenlicad
himself to a ana captain, for man yean, in
pay (hr a passage to thia country. Qa hiiar
rival, hia time and aervioes were soldto a
Hr. Winston of Virginia, in an» aorvice
be remained until the breaking o«l of the
Revolution. Being of An advonWroox torn of
miod, he atraght and-obtained permission of
hia matter to joiri the army, and {was engaged
in active aorvice during the wholia contest.—
Such was his strength and personal bravery,
that no enemy could resist him. He wielded
a sword, the blade of which waa five feet in
length, aa thoughd hadheen a' feather, pod
every 000 who contain contest with hfto paid
the forfeit jif hia life,. At fitnoey Point be
was one of the “forlorn hope” which waned
vanced to cut away the abatis, sad nept to
Major Gibbon, waa the first man to enter the
works. At Brandywine and Monmouth, be
exhibited tbe moat fearless brav«ry,and noth
ing but hia inability, to write, prevented hia
promotion commission. Transferred to
the South, he took part in mpat of the en
gagements in that section, and. towards (he
close of the war, be waa engaged in a. con
test which exhibited in n striking manner, hit
self-confidence and courage.
Oae day white xecoonoiterieg, ha stopped
at tbe house of a (nan fay the name of W—
to refresh himself. Whilst at the table he
waa surprised by nine British troopers, who
rode up to the house sod told him ha Was
their prisoner.' Seeing tbit he arms greatly
outnumbered, he pretended to surrender, and
tbe dragoons seeing he was apparently Very
peacefully inclined, after disarming him, al
lowed him considerable freedom, while they
sat down to partake of tbe food which he had
left when disturbed. Wandering out into the
doot.yard he was accosted by (he Paymaster,
who demanded of him everything m,value
about him, at tbe risk of bis life, in jtosa of
refusal. “I have nothing to give,” said Fr«o
- “so use your pleasure,” “Give up
those massive silver buckles in your shoes,”
said the dragoon. “They were the gift of a
friend, replied Francisco, and give them to'
you I never shall ; lake them if you will, you
have the power, but I never will give them to
aov one.”
rutting bis sabre under hia arm, the Soldier
stooped down to lake them. Francisco see
ing the opportunity, which was too good io
be lost, seized the sword, end drawing it with
force from uader the arm of the soldier, dealt
him a severe blow across the skull. Ah hough
severely wonndedvyet being a brave man the
dragoon drew a pistol and (timed al hia an
tagonist, who was too quick for him, howev
er, and as be pulled the trigger, .a Mow ftom
the sword nearly severed the wrist, and placed
him hart de combat. The report of' the pis
tol drew ihe other dragoons into the yard, aa
well as VV., who very ungenerously brought
out a musket, which he bended to ooe of the
soldiers, sad (old him to make use of it.—
Mounting the only hone they could get at, he
presented the muzzle at the breast of Francis
co, and pulled the trigger. . Fortunately it
missed fire, And Francisco, closed in upon
him. A khort struggle ensued, which ended
in his disarming and wounding (he soldier.—
Tarlton’s troops of four hundred men were
now in sight, and (he other dragoons were
•bout to attack him. Seeing his esse was
desperate, he turned toward an adjoining
thicket, and as if cheering on a party of men
he cried out, ‘iCorae on my . brave boys,
now’s your lime; we will soon despatch (base
few, and 'hen attack the main body I” at the
same time rushing at the dragoons with the
fury of an enraged tiger.
They did not wait to engage him, but Serf
precipitately to (be troop, panic-struck and
dismayed. Seizizg upon tbs traitorous ail.

life, ihat he forgave bin}, atuf lold hltrt to se
