THE ESCAPE OF AN HEIRESS.
It was the fashionable hour for morning
calls, but the drawin-room o f Isabella
Grandby was unoccupied, save by the fair
heiress and her chapeien ; for the world had
already learned the days when she was
"at home " only to Sir Phillip Deverill,
her accepted lover; and the elegant French
clock now marked the hour of his coming.
As its chimes struck on her ear, Isabella'e
unusally pale cheek became still paler, to
the :dam of Mrs. Manners, who arose and
Lent over her with affectionate solicitude.
•‘ I am quite well, my dear aunt, " said the
young lady, hastily, "and you must confer
a favor upon me. I wish to see Sir Phil
lip alone, quite alone. "
The elder lady looked suprised and half
offended, but Isabella went on.
'1 know how very kindly kpd discreetly
you have always acted, but yield to my whim
for one hour, and forgive my withholding
the reason for the present!'
The gentle coaxing manner of her pretty
relative had already assuaged Mrs. Manners'
nailed feelings, and she smilingly gathered
,together her vast assortment of needles and
wools. Isabella watched her in silence but,
as she turned to leave the room, abruptly
asked—
Dear aunt, why have you never admired
iny chosen husband?"
"My child," said the old lady startled at
tire unexpected question, "I have never told
you that I did not like him."
"But I have seen it," replied Miss Grand
by; "seen it in your eyes, in your manners,
and reproached myself for acting in what I
felt was opposition to the wishes of my best
and truest friend "
"My dearest Isabella," said Mrs. Manners,
dropping her work, that she might return
the affectionate embrace of her niece, if
my distaste to Sir Phillip has given you one
hour's uneasiness, I shall be very angry
with myself for having, though unwittingly,
betrayed it. I have never dreamed of at
tempting to bias your choice; you are of age,
and with good sense and penetration to aid
you in your selection; and if I have not ex
actly approved, it is because I fear my child
will find Sir Phillip too thoroughly a man
of the world—of the London world--to be
come her companion in purer and simpler
enjoyments."
At this moment t L.: dashing of a
to the door, and loud rat-tat announced
the expected arrival, and, as Mrs. Manners
vanished at one door, Sir P. l)cverill, hur
rying pair, the servant, who hastened to an.
nounce him, entered at the other.
"'They told me truly last evening," he
exclaimed, advancing to where Isabella
-tool—"I Eee by your countenance
they told we truly lat evening, that you
were ill I feared that my causeless jeal
ousy at the ambassador's ball had made you
cclude yourself in anger—first, tell one that
you forgive me, my beloved."
"Yes," answered Isabella quietly, I have
forgiven it, almost forgotten it."
•'My generous Isabella!' lie murmured,
pressing the hand he had taken, and yet
your looks belie the kindness of your words.
Your manner is eoustrained—you shrink
from me, and those eloquent eyes I love to
look into are turned away--but you trem
ble:—you are again ill—let me support
. You
to this couch !"
Isabella hastily extricated herself from
the arms that so tenderly encircled her,
seated herself beside a work table, and poin
ting to a lounge opposite, replied—
"l am quite well now, but have had much
o make me uneasy and anxious since wc
ast met.; listen to we patiently; and 1 will
•ccount the circumstance to which I al—
ude."
Sir Philip composed himself into an at
itude of attention—doubtless his fair be
hrothed's miserly uncle was dead and his
will in her favor likely to be contested. With
a great effort she steadied her voice, and
fixing her sorrowful gaze upon him—
"l need not remind you of the very un
just anger you displayed the other evening,
but, after,a sleepless night, I endeavored to
forget the annoyance, by mitigating the
sorrows of others, and left home yesterday
morning on one of those visits to the poor of
which you have so often expressed your dis
approbation."
Simply for your sake my dearest," he
interrupted. While admiring the benevo
lence which prompts them, I cannot but
feel alarmed when you expose your health
to the pernicious influence of the unwhole
some air in the miserable dens you enter."
Isabella proceeded--
As I was leaving - one of the miserable
dens you describe, the mistress of it begged
me to visit a young woman residing in one
of her garrets. She was a poor seamstress
who had worked very hard to support her-
self and child; but the little one was ill—
dying, the parish doctor said, for want of
fresh air and proper nourishment; and, with
her wailing babe constantly in her arms,
the unhappy woman could work no longer.
Sir Philip drew forth his elegant port
mbrinaie, but Isabella repulsed it with a
gesture of disdain, saying— . .
"The smallest of those silver coins is
greater than the average of her daily earn
ings, and the price of that glittering bauble
might have saved the life of her child. I
hurried up to her wretched room ,'she contin•
ued, rising in her excitement, and standing
before the perplexed and dismayed baronet.
"She was rocking her moaning infant,
and her song struck a chill to my heart; it
was the spanish air I had learned because
you loved it, Phillip. Nay hear me out!"
—for he would have risen—"At first, this
unhappy mother seemed suspicious of me;
but when she saw I wept at the sufferings
of her boy, her own grief burst forth in sobs
and words, and she told me her sad and
mournful history. I need not tell you her
name, nor that of her betrayer, nor recuont
the broken promises in the impassioned
letters she showed me. Yet a little longer,
she said, restrainig his impatience, "and I
hate done. While I was there with them,
the babe became worse and died!"
And at the remembrance of the mother's
passionate grief, Isabella covered her face
with her hands, and wept.
Sir Philip turned to the window to regain
his self-possession, and collect his ideas for
the penitent speech he felt himself the hu
miliating necessity of making.
Taking his seat beside his still weeping
mistress—
"l deeply regret," he said, "this unfor
tunate circumstance, but my Isabella has
too much good sense, to punish me for
events that occurredbefore I knew the de
lights of a pure and life long affection—
events, too, which I have bitterly repented:
Miss Grandby re wined `silent, and Sir
Philip felt cenetcaind to ge on. ..,
"This is most unpleasant subject to dis
cuss with a lady, bnt my beloved may rest
asaured that I have iu every way acted hon
orably by this young person."
"Honorably !" Isabella repeated with bit
ter emphasis. "I heard that your steward
punctually doled out a weekly halterown,
fur the maintenance of your child; a pittance
that has just sufficed to afford it a shelter.
When I looked around the miserable room,
E. remembered with horror and indignation,
Sir Philip Deverill's proud boast, that no
English gentleman more carefully studied
the ,ornfort of his domestics than himself,
even to providing the steward's table with
wine!"
Utterly abashed. he extended his hands
iiiiploringly, and asked—
" What can I say that will sufficiently ex
press my sorrow and repentance?"
"Your actions, not your words!" she
quickly replied. "must prove its reality; for
myself it only remains to say farewell."
No, no !' he exclaimed, "you cannot
be so cruel !"
"Spare us both," she interrupted, "any
further pain. My resolution is irrevocable.
Could I be prevailed upon to act in opposition
to my conscience, and become your wife,
the memory of that dead babe, the groans
of his forsaken mother, would rest a contin
ual shadow between us and happiness. I
cannot marry the man I have ceased to res ,
peet."
"This is Mrs. Manners, doing!"he ex
claimed, angrily, "I have long seen that, in
her selfishness she has srtiven to disunite
"Not another word!' cried Isabella, with
an imperious gesture. "Your accusation is
false and unjust, Though I would willingly
have spared myself the pain of this inter
view, yet I could not bear that even my best
and truest friend, should know how low Sir
Philip 'Deverill has sunk in the estimation
of Isabella Grandby.'
He bit his lip, but restraining the angry
feelings warring in his bosom, he answered
"lt is evidently useless to attempt to rea
:,on with you ntiw—to-morrow we both shall
lie calmer."
She extended her hand with a calm, sad
farewell, and then they parted.
As soon as the cabriolet drove front the
d o or Miss Grandhv rang for the butler, an
o!d and attaaed servant.
•Christopher,' she said, "I wish to leave
England immediately—to night, if possible;
eau you arrange it for me?'
Christopher nodded assent.
'1 shall leave toy pensioners in your care,
and there is a young woman—whose address
will give you—who will be received by
icy housekeeper in the country as soon as
, lit; ready for the journey.
Christopher withdrew to make the hur-
Hel preparations for his young lady's de
parture, and she sought the chamber of her
aunt.
Mrs. Manners was seated with her hands
resting on her open Bible; she glanced anx
ittsly at Isabella's .perturbed face. That
kind look destroyed the remains of her for
titude, and sinking at the feet of her aunt - ,
Miss Grandby gave way to a convulsive
burst of tears. Mrs. Manners was too sen
sible to check them, but her tender endear
ments at length restored the weeping girl
to composure.
"My kind aunt." she whispered, "Imust
leave here directly; I fear my own weakness;
you will go with ruej_will you not?"
"Are you sure," asked Mrs. Manners,
'that you are not acting too hastily? that
will not repent this step?"
-Quit, sure," replied Isabella; "I cannot
tyll you more than _that Sir Philip and I
arc parted forever."
Fresh tears accompanied the words, and
Mrs. Manners wisely sought to know no
wore. In a few hours Isabella was on her
way to the continent, where her well order
ed mind soon regained its ordinary seren
ity; and thus, after a few vain efforts to
discover this retreat of the heiress, ended
the hopes of Sir Philip Deverill.
THE BATTLE OF COW PENS.
Col. Henry Lee and other writers agree
that the positon taken for this battle was not
well selected, and reflect on Gen. Morgan
for having retired the day before to this
from a better situation. They were not
aware of his reasons fcir this movement. In
the "Magnolia," of Jan. 1843, p. 38, it is
fully explained by Maj. McJunkin, of Un- '
ion District, with minutim, that could only
be related by an eye witness. He had been
detached under Col. Wm. Washington by
Mdgan, against the Tories assembled at
Hammond's store. Having dispersed them,
he was returning to Morgan's encampment,
at Grendall's Shoal, on the Pacolet. He
now learned that Tarleton was advancing
on the road leading to the Easterwood Shoat
above this position, intending to attack the
of Morgan's detachment Washington
hastened with::the information and commu
nicated it at midnight to Morgan The re
trogade movement was made the next day
to counteract Tarlton's intention. This was
confirmed by Capt. Thos. Young, of Union
District, who was alive as late as 1847,(5ee
Johnson's Tradition, p. 449,) also by Col.
J sines I' , imons, father of Col James Simons
Speaker of the House, who at that time
held a lieutanant commision uffacr Wash.
ington see the same Traditions, p. 300.)
The following is a description of that battle
is copied from a MS. of Col. Samuel Ham 7
mond, and published in the same work,
p. 526.
On the evening of the 16th January,
1781, General Morgan encamped near a
place called the Cowpens. The author of
these remarks,(Col. S. Hammond, being
then out with a detachment,)did not join
the camp until 8 o'clock in the evening,
when he was informed by the general that
he intended to give the enemy battle next
morning, if he should press hard upon him.
The ground on which the troops was placed
was a small ridge, crossing the road nearly
at right angles. A similar ridge, nearly
parallel with this, lay between thee hundred
and five hundred yards in his rear. The
valley betweeen was made by a gentle slope;
it was, of course, brought within range of
the eye; passing from one to the other ridge,
the land was thickly covered with red oak
and hickory, with little if any underbrush
The valleys extending to the right of the
genral's camp, terminated in a small' glade
or savanna.
Orders had been issued to the militia, to
have twenty-four rounds of ball prepared
and ready for use; before they retired to rest.
A general order, forming the &position of
the troops, in case of corning to action, had,
also been ; prepared, and - was read to Colonel
Piokens and McCall, Major Jackson, and
the author of thew) notea, in the Olirt3O of

the author of these{ notes has never since
seen them. but in the course of the evening
he made the following notes upon them,
then fresh in his memory, and which were
shown to Major JaCkson and Colonel Mc.
Call, and approvediby them as correct as
far as it went. To show those concerned
what would be their stations, the author

idea of the affair than couldle obtained
without it.
The order commenced in substance thus:
As the enemy seemed resolved to force ,>
us into action, the - ' , numbers and spirit of
this little band of piltriot soldiers semi to
justify the general in the belief that they
may be met with . confidence, - defeated and
driven back. To prepare for which, the fol-'
lowing order will be prepare
The front line will be composed of that
part of Col. MeCall'S regiment of South
Carolina State troops, who have not been
equipped as dragoons, under the command
of Major Hammond; the Georgia volunteers,
commanded by Lieutenant .Colonel Cun
ningham, and the North Carolina volunteers,
under the command, of Major McDowal.
Col. Cunningham will take Post on the 6
right, Maj. M cDowall on the left of the line,
southwest of the road, Upon the rising ground
beyond the valley in front, three hundred
to three hundred and{, fifty yards in rear of
this cantonment or camp, with the left res
ting upon the road. Major Hammond will
take post on the left oflthe road, in line with
Colonel Cunningham), supported upon the
left by Captain Donoly, of the Georgia ref
ugees.
The second line will be composed of the
continental regiment ,Of Maryland troops,
commanded be Lieutenant Colonel Howard;
on the left of the second line, falling back
one, hundred yards irCits rear, a continua
tion of the second line; or third line, will be
t,rthed, advancing its left wing towards the
enemy, so as to bring it nearly parallel with
tlie left of the continental troops, upon the
second line. The Virginia com
inariaed by Major Triplet, with the South
Carolina militia, emomanded by Captain
Beaty will form to the right of the second
line; the left nearly opposite to the right of
the second line, onej hundred yards in its
rear; the right extending towards the ene
toy, so as to be oposite to or parallel with
the second line. The main guard will hold
its present position, and be commanded as
at present by Colonel' l Washington's caval
ry, with such of Colonel McCall's regiment
of new raised South ;Carolina State trodps
as have been equippicl for dragoons, will
be a reserve, and forth in the rear of Col.
Pickens, beyond the flidge,orie or two hun
dred yards, and nearly op posite the main
n:ifard north of the road.
Morgan was up and moving about his
camp, most of the night preceding this bat
tle, conversing with the men, assisting them
when not fully equipped, and ascertaining
that all had their prbper quantity of fixed
ammunition for the next day. The militia
were posted in advance of the regulars, and
having been authorized to take each a tree,
commenced the action,as Tarleton advanced,
about sunrise. He advanced with his cav
alry on a trot, with a loud halloo, and Mor
gan ordered the Indian whoop on return.
The militia being well officered, well posted,
and in high spirits, fired deliberately and
with great effect. John Savage fired the
first gun, and after their third discharge,
they were ordered tot retire and form again
in the rear. They aid so with astonishing
coolness and regularity. The regulars fired
in a sheet of flame from right to left, and
met the attack of thel British 71st regiment
in perfect order and discipline. Tarlton
again advanced on the American lines, but
Morgan had provided for him. Washing
ton had been authorized to call for volun
teers from among the 'militia, and many who
were well mounted joined him and added
greatly to his strength.
Washington met) the attack of Tarlton
and repulsed him, then wheeled upon the
flank of the British tine, which was charg
ed by the continental regulars and capt ur
red the whole battalion of the 71st regiment,
with their twe pieces of artillery and two
companies of infantry. Tarlton was pursu
ed in his retreat by 'Washington, and woun
ded by him, but escaped. The result was
that 300 of Tarletous corps had been kill
ed and wounded, and the British regulars
captured numberinWO. The victory was
complete. Eight hundred stand of arms,
two field pieces and ttirty-five baggage wag
ons fell into the ha ds of the Americans
The prisoners were 4corted oft inio Virgin
