At this instant, high above the cry of the servant, arose a shout of—'Death to the Britishers !" caught up and repeated from mouth to month. Convinced now that something of im portance was transpiring. Grey threw upen the window and looked out towards the village. Groups of men with every description of weapons were hurrying thro' the usually quiet streets. "Ho, Thompson I" he cried, to one whom he recognized, "what's the mat ter ?" '•The troops have burnt Concord, and have killed several of the minute men," was the respow,e. Springing through the window, Grey strode to the roadside whence Evergreen was plainly visible. Soon he had the sat. i,faction of seeing Mr Clr xton ride forth, followed by Kennedy, who went over in stead of through the gate. A smile of satistaction passed over Grey's face as he saw this. He hastily returned to his house. ''Saddle Marine instantly, and put pis tole nt the .sndille. bow. Quick, be oil "Ilenry," said he, to another, °collect what clothes you can, have another horse saddled, and he ready to follow roe to Bos- ton." The man hastened away. In a quarter of an hour the village of Chemung was a mile in their rear. Not desiring to meet Mr. Claxton and Kennedy, Grey took a shorter route acmes the country. Within an hour he drew rein in the neighborhood of Concord, on a height overlooking the town. Grey, not altogether inexperienced in military e.irairs having been for two years in a ro• mem of grenadiers, saw at a glance that m present loyalist detachment was total ir inadequate to contend with the aroused buntrymen who were continually pouring voiding therefore, the patriot groups, :-e dashed spurs into-his foaming steed, and :" Mowed by the groom rode rapidly to floe• ton. It was eight o'clock when he reach ed the city. Ordering Henry to carry his small valise to the hotel, he himself im mediately rode to the residence of Gen. Gage. No post was necessary to which his horse might be attached, the animal be ng almost blown. He knocked boldly at the door. It was soon opened by the porter, who only looked his surprise at so early a visitor. "Inform his Excellency," said Grey, J ;lr.

Grey, who was familiar with the house, being well acquainted with Gage himself, did not wait to be shown the way, but walked hastily forward to the room. Gage was seated at table looking no less surprised than the porter. Grey entered and shat the doef in the fare of the inris itive servant " I BEE NO STAR ABOVE THE HORIZON, PR9HISING LIGHT TO GUIDE US, BUT THE INTELLIGENT, PATRIOTIC, UNITED WHIG PARTY OF THE UNITED STATEE.". After the usual salutations, Gage said— " May I ask, Mr. Grey, to what I am in- debted for the honor of this visit ?" "I believe that your excellency sent some troops, for that purpose best known to yourself, to burn the village of Con cord " The Govenor started. ' , I certainly did send a detachment to burn some rebel stores that I henrd were collected in Concord. But I thought that the object of this expedition was known but to myself and the commanding officer of the detachment." I suppose that nearly fifty of that de tachment nre now dead, whilst the rest are flying before the • deadly fire of the Provincials," said Grey, calmly as if he were relating pleasant news. '.What sir ?" exclaimed Gage spring ing from his chair. "I mean exactly what I have said," re• plied Grey in the same tone as before.— "General, the whcle country is aroused, and your troops are now attacked, driv en in on all sides by a force of fifteen hun dred countrymen. You will not doubt what I say when I tell you that I myself saw this, having just arrived from there, as you can plainly see," pointing to his besprinkled clothes and bloody spurs. Gage stamped the room with rage. "That rebel, Warren, lo at the bottom of this," he muttered, aloud. .General," said Grey, interrupting him, ..every minute costs a soldier," The Governor stretched his hand to the bell. and rung it violently. It was answer• ed by half a dozen breathless domestics, who started at Grey with astonishment. "George," said he to his orderly, "go immediately to Lord Percy's quarters, and tell his lordship that I desire his pres ence immediataly. Tell him at the same time to order his regiment under arms as he passes the barracks." force will not be sufficient, your Excellency, without one or two compa nies of grenadiers, and two or three pie ces of artillery,' interrupted Grey. "Tell Lord Perry," added the General, 'what I have snit,. Then go to Major Ol iver and tell him to have three companies of granadiers ready for instant service.— Then go to Capt.

"Lord Percy, your Excellency," said a servant throwing open the door. Percy," cried Gage, 'is your regiment prepared to be sent out V Percy bowed. "Mr. Grey informs etc that Pitcairn's command, which set out this morning, is nearly cut to pieces by those infernal minute men." Percy smiled increduously. informed the General of what I my. self saw, my lord," said Urey haughtily. "Then. sir, it east be so," answered Lord Percy, politely bowing. "Lord Percy," said Gage "you will lin tnediately set ont for Concord, to cover the retreat of Pitcairn's force. Maj. Oliver with three companies of grenadiers, and Captain Dalhousie, with his comany of ar tilery, will go with you. You will of course command the detachment." Percy bowed, and was about to with• draw, when Grey said to the Govenor— "Will your Excellency allow me to ac company his lordship as a volunteer I" "Most certainly," said Gage. "Cannot your lordship," he added, turning to Per. cy, "accommodate Mr. Grey with a uni- form 1" "Nothing would give me greater pleas ure," replied Percy. "I have at my quarters a captain's uniform, which is at Mr. Grey's service." "By tho time you return, Mr. Grey," and Gage, "I will have a captain's commis• sion made out for you, if you will accept 0 1 am exceedingly obliged to both of you, gentleman, and I shall act so that his Majesty will find no cause of corn. plaint with me." "To horse ! gentlemen, to horse !" cri ed Gage. In half an hour eight hundred men, with two field-pieces, marched to the field of action.

Good bye, Major," said Captain Ster ling--"Jscatter yourselves, ladies, among the covert."

The barn which has been mentioned was about sixty yards from the road, and was built upon a stone wall or foundation of about five feet high. It was a strong position and twenty brave men inside ren dered it a formidable obstacle to the few soldiers who were marching to the at tack. Stirling therefore, did not expect to come back alive, as may be inferred from his remark to Maj. Pitcairn, when he was ordered to the attack. For the ffrst twenty five yards from the roads the soldiers were tolerably sheltered by the uneavenness of the ground and one or two small duds of underwood , trues there were none. After leaving this shelter, in order to reach the barn, they were compelled to cross a spacepf some thirty or forty yards, which was perfectly bare of anything in the shape of covert, and where the rifles of the patriots would tell fearfully on the little band. Stirling saw this, and therefore ordered his men to fire from their covert with cool. ness and precision knowing that a man hring from a secure covert, and a man completely exposed to an enemy's fire, are two very different and distinct things. At the word of command, therefore, a cool and deliberate fire was given, the ac curacy of which was known by the con fusion which prevailed in the barn. "Up, lads, and at them l" cried Sterling waving his sword. A volley from the barn Etratched six dead or wounded upon the ground. Un- deterred by the fate of their comrades, the other presed boldly on. Stirling saw at a glance that an attempt to force the door would be useless; but at one end of the stone foundation he sa y that the stones were loosened, and that if force was well applied, the wall for four or five feet would fall sufficiently to allow four or five men to pass at a time. No time, however, was to be lost ; an other volley, with as great. effect as the previous one, would put the remainder to flight. He ordered the men to lift a heavy beam near at hand, which he directed against the wall. '• Well done, men !" he cried, as it shook from the force of the blow, aone more good blow. There she has it! Forward. Without waiting to see if he was fol lowed he sprang into the breach. At the sumo instant, another withering volley was poured from the barn Stirling was now in a pretty predica• ment his men had fled at the last volley, and he was alone in the barn. Bestow. ing a left handed blessing upon the cow ards, he backed to the breach, paraying as best be could the blows made at him, with his sword. Seeing that the soldiers had fled the pa triot determined that he should not get oft with impunity. A blow from the butt of c musket aimed at his head but parried with his sword, glided along the weapon and struck on the shoulder with sufficient force to numb the arm and deprive him of his sword. Staggered by the blow, Stirling tottered to the wall, which he clutched to prevent himself from falling. A dozen clubbed rifles and muskets were raised to dash out his brains, when a young man sprang torward, receiving on his rifle sev eral blows aimed at the young airier. "Surely, comrades," he exclaimed, you would not kill a single and defenceless man 1" The rifles were instantly lowered. Pit cairn with his force had now passed the barn. tle had not expected that Stirling would take it, but had sent him forward, expecting as was the case that the rifles of its occupants would bo turned upon hint and his followers, instead of upon the crowed road where every ball would not fail to find a human target. "There can be no objection now, com rades," said the young rifleman, "to the officer joining the troops." Tho minute-men assented especially when one of the patty, stepping forward said— .Friends, this officer is the man who did all he could to prevent the flames from extending from the store-houses to the private dwellings. I myself baW him, though I did not recognize him until this instant." There was not a dissentient voice, Taking up the fallen sword, the first speaker presented it to the Captain, say ing courteously— “ You are at liberty now to depart and join your corps, Captain. Thero was now in the (ono and bear ing of the young patriot, dm'. convinced Stirliug that he wan rather above bib asso ciates. "May I at-k, air," he said "the name of my generous preserver ? I may at some future period be able to return the favor." Stirling gave his name, and shaking hands, the quondom foes separated. The Englishman joined the almost coated troops and shortly after his departure, Kennedy and his band sallied: forth and marched swiftly and silently tow ards Lexington. Avoiding the main road, they tonic a by path and reached the town before the fly ing soldiers came in sight of it. Here they were joined by Edwards at head of about a hundred men, tolerably well armed, comprising his father's tenan try and most of the men of Chemung. A hasty council of war was called, and the attention which was paid by country men to the words of their principal men without interuping them, would have set a good example to those in a more exalted station. In the midst of their deliberations, a man mounted on a foaming horse galloped through the streets of the almost deser ted town where they eagerly debating. All eyes were turned toward the stranger; "An army is coming from Boston of a thousand strong and two pieces of cannon! he cried. The crowd seized their arms, and con fusion soon prevailed. Rising above the none, came the firm, commanding voice of Edwards. ..Let every man remain where ho is !' he cried. The chin voice has always great influ ence over a multitude. The crowd was silent, and listened attentively to the young man. It was no time for debate now. Ed. wards, sustained by Kennedy and two or three influential mon, instantly took the command. He ordered Ezekiel Davis to proceed to meet this reinforcement with about thirty men, so as to delay as long as possible their arrival, whilst he with Ken nedy and the remainder of the band de termined so make one daring attempt and cut off Pitcairn's command be.* the at, rival of the reinforcement. No time was to be lost. The roll of musketry, deadened by the distance, came like the mutterings of distant thunder, <near and , More near its echoings.' The.road nt the Concord end of the town was exceedingly narrow and rocky; on one side of the road or street on the out skirts of the little town was a wide and deep marsh ; around this the road skirted and then entered the town. 'I he other side was rugged and hilly, and therefore ill adapted to the manoeuvres of infantry ; on this side of the road were two fine tall trees. These, at the command of Edwards. were Cut down and completely blocked up the narrow passage. Dispersing his men among the rooks, and concealed many in the leaves of the fallen trees, Edwards and Kennedy with beating hearts awaited the coming of the flying soldiers. At last they came in sight, driven like sheep before the wolf, gazing with terror at every bush, break, or mound, expecting and seldom deceived, to find the glistening of a musket, or to see the flash of a deadly rifle, handled with unerring skill by the concealed enemy. The officers in vain adeavored to rally them. Cowards!' cried Lieutenant Arlington, 'do you fly from country boors like these?' 'Lieutenant,' said a brave young soldier stung to the quick by the words of his of ficer, would fight the devil himself if I could see him; but now wo know not where to look for a foe; few can see the hand that kills them' The crack of a rifle was heard from a neighboring bush, and the young soldier fell. Turning, with a great effort towards the Lieutenant, a melancholy smile was on his face. 'You see Lieutenant,' he said, faintly, and sank back dead. Thy mother, boy, will await thee in vain in merry England, alas ! no longer merry for her. Thy father will say—'lle died like a soldier, he did his duty !' in vain. The parental revulsions of feeling will come back with redoubled force, and he will exclaim, like David—'My son my sou Arlington was horrified. Drawing his sword, he cried—, 'Forward men, and revenge your emu. rade !' The report of a musket was heard from tho same bush; tho officer sprang into tho air and fell dead. Terror•stricken, the soldiers • fell back, and nothing could now move them to the charge. The troops were now close to the fallen trees, in and about which Edwards and his comrades were waiting for them.

Dismayed, the troops rollback up on their comrades, who, with but little bet ter fortune, were sustaining an unequal fight with their deadly pursuers. The haughty Pitcairn called his few re• maining officers around him, and it wrung his very heart strings as he road on their countenances that he must surrender. At this instant, when the fate of the fu• gitives seemed decided, rising high above the reports of musketry, came the louder report of cannon ; ns grape shot and lan grage tore up the ground, where Edwards and his brave companions lay concealed. So excited had they became in the fight with those before them, that they had for• gotten the band behind them, till they were thus disagreeably reminded of their propinquity. The fugitives on the other hand, hearing the report of artillery and the cheers of the advancing reinforcement, now were eager fur the charge. The col onists gave ono more sure volley, and then slowly and sullenly began to retreat down one of the side streets of the town. Edwards and Kennedy were furious as they saw victory snatched from their grasp. More by deeds than words did they encourage and revive the drooping spirits of their brave comrades. All the efforts of the newly arrived troops could not hasten their dogged retreat; inch by inch did they dispute the ground. If they for an instant thought of flight, a glance at their brave young commander 'in the thickest of the fight, apparently re gardless of limb or life, banished the half conceived idea from their minds and they turned once more to the fray. Now, however, the royalists were rein forced by another company of grenadiers, headed by an officer on horseback. .Cowards !' Ise exclaimed, do you let rebels thus hold you at bay ? Forward!'

It was the morning of the day after the battle when Mary Claxton and her father were seated at the parlor window, gazing sorrowfully down the road leading to Con cord, when they discerned in the distance a horseman approaching them at a brisk canter. They each had an intuitive per ception that this personage xasconnnected with the missing Tom. As he approached nearer they discover ed it was Kit. The black had not been at Evergreen since the previous moment ous morning, and they now eagerly awaited his arrival. Kit entered the gate and gave his horse or rather his master's horse to a groom who come to take it, hoping that this little act of kindness would unbend his tongue. The slave, however, pushed the groom aside, and slowly and dejectedly walked toward the house, not deigning to answer the many questions that were put to him ; for 'Porn was a great favorite among the servants of the house who had often expe rienced his generosity. Mary's heart sank within her as site re marked his grave manner ; she could not speak.

After his master's fall, the slave, as before stated, was borne back with the crowd. Shortly after he met George Edwards, who fought like a lion ; nor yet was he aware of his friend's fall. When, however, he was in formed of it by Kit, he rallied around him a few brave men and made desperate ef forts to release his friend, who had now recovered from the effect of the blow, and was marching between two soldiers, bound. His efforts, however, were unavailing, so he he sent Kit before to the city, ordering him when he found where his mas'r would be confined to return and to report to him when they would make what attempts they could to assist hint to escape.

Ho there saw his master led off to prison, surround ed by soldiers who could with difficulty keep off the crowd that attempted to rescue him. The cries and jeers of the populace followed them everywhere. Hastily got up placards represented a company of sol diers flying from an old country dame ar med with a broom, or one or two country men armed with pitchforks were manfully thrashing a large body of troops. Behind the rustics, a detachment of troops, inten t ded, doubtless to represent Percy's corn , mend, with about fifty pieces of cannon was advancing upon their rear, as if to take them by surprise.
