A TALE OF THE\ CAROLItfAS. By J. MIX.TOK 8AKDEItS.- In a small farm-house, towards Tlie* dose - ] of the year 17S0 V sat an p]d man, ltis wife and only so,n,.

TBC-^SOXI , botVctreiv after encountering his father's eyes\for a mo ment, turned confusedly away.

The aldman was excited,'and it was the fir?t unkind word that he had ever usvd to his boy. David arose and left the house. H e walk- gd_sotne djstanre apparently in deep thought.

Atfd for what ?—why to meet a pretty girl, and listen to her musical voice : but now, 1 will be myself again ! What did he call me ? was it not a Coward ? Now by heavens, I will learn him that he has a son who possesses the spirit of his father. 'Away then with love, for 1 feel that 1 am called up on to act, and no longer dream ! Ere-a fort night my father shall hear from me, or.elsel lose my life in striving for it.' An d with this resolution he turned about and retraced his steps. When he had reached homo he sought the stables, saddled his horse, mrd mounting him, struck into a gallop, which continued for-sevtral miles. At length he stopped and looked at the windows of a farm-house, half hid between the clustering trees. This was the residence of Mary Bunker, the mistress of his heart ; the lights sh'cfWed that the fa mily fnrd'iTOt retired, nnd he resolvid to pay her a visit before his departure. She was alone when he entered, and a few- words acquainted her with his-determination. She burst into tears. Nay ! Mary,' he said, ' 3'ou must not un man me. At first I resolved to leave you without a farewell, for I knew how much you dreaded my taking an active part in the struggle. But I could not be so cruel as to desert you without a word.' men, mysnir,' snjd fhe fair gitl, know with an effort to smile. ' I Icftow I have done wrong to persuade you to stay; but you cannot imagine the anxieties I suffer on ac count of my brothers, and I cannot bear to ha\'e you encounter their danger. But-sincc the dreadful defeat nt Camden, I feel that every man is wanted by our country. Go, then dearest, and mav God be with you.— My prayers shall be with you night and day.' David pressed the now weeping girl to his bosom, snatched a hasty kiss at the sound of approaching footsteps, wrung iter hand and was gone. Th e next day he left the neighborhood of his father's house, armed with a musket, and mounted on a sturdy horse. His-destination was tho American camp, then far to the northward ; but as the intervening country was filled with the enemy, he knew there would*be considerable address ^required to effect his purpose. Before his deparrure he saw a few of his old playmates, who prom ised to follow him as soon as possible. — Night found him near a lonely farm-.house lo-whieh he-proceodcd-boidly.in jlursuit of a lodging. At first the occupant received him coldly; but a chance expression, convincing David that his host was a tory, he affected the same political creed, and was immediately warmly welcomed. The royalist produced 4iis cider after supper, and insisted that Da- id should join him in his potations ; this the young man did, taking care, however, not to indulge too freely, while the farmer, overjoyed to find what he supposed a new n^rnit fpr h,J8 pnrM^drnnlr without Stint, and pedition\ when there were otherslis\fimlijffg neerer home, fie accordingly set( himself to l^wyexXrora.hjs.inebriated, cpmgajiipp, the ^ruth.

But yonder js the, Jfnjqr now,' suddenly saidjiis host, starting up ; »I will idtroduce you .to him at -once—a merry fellowyou,'ll find, him. Lord lovq you, he's as brave-as a,lion.' David, though horrified at the diabolical plot he had heard, saw the necessity of dis sembling in order to learn further of the to- rips' pjopstand find_ means if possible, to cir cumvent them. He arose, therefore', and shook the Major's hand warmly; pledged him immediately in a brimmer ; aod soon contrived to make the royalist believe that he was nnxiou.s to join a troop and take part a- gainst the rebels. This induced the Major in.hp itmisunlly ftiyjl, for he wished to-secure so athletic a recruit hirrtself. It was not long before a bargain had been concluded between the two.

What VrBB lua-nngiiish nn rising, XQ hpnr that the Major had been gone some hours* and was already on his way to the Bunkers, with his troops. Dissembling his anxiety, David par took of a hasty breakfast, and mounting his horse, rode slowly away. But when out of sight of the house, he struck into a fierce gallop, which he continued till he came in sight of a cioss-road, where was a tavern.— Uere he stopped, and learning that the roy alists had taken the high roacl, he turned a- side into a narrow and circuitous one. ' It is my only chance to avoid them,' he said, again dashing into a-gallop. .-' Pray God, I may reach the settlemeot in time to collect a few of our lads and march to the Bunkers, - There ia no other hope now left.' Night had fallen, as they expected, before the tories were able to reach the vicinity of the ho'usejhey were in search of. At length however, after a silent march through tho woods, it broke upon their view. A light was burning in one of the windows, and when they arrived close to the premises, the lively no'.es or a violin reached their ears, proving that the brothers were not aware of their presence, but enjoying themselves in imagined security. ' Now, men,' whispered the leader of the tories,' when I give the word, fire* a volley at the house by way of introducing ourselves; wo will then surround the place and enter May God - Almighty.bless you forthjs !' cried one of the Bunkers. . The two yourjg men sprang up, seized their rifles which had been left inib o roqm, and prepared to retaliate the treatment which they had just recsivedj' Long and desperate' was the battle. Th e (ories fought for life; the whigs forrevenge. But at length (ha latle'r triumphed, though not until their enemies Erfd been almost ,ex- terininnted^ The Majqr fell by the arm of our hero, who sought htmtn^tmthe hottest of tire fight, iinihengaged him single*rmnded. No language of ours can express the emo tions of David as he pressed his betrothed bride to his bosom ;. and his heart, went up in thankfulness to Heaven for his timely ar rival, when he thought that a delay of half an hour longer- vtould have consigned h\er to a late worse than dentin—The—gratttude-of 1 her brothers was expressed in many words, but her's wassilent and tearful, yet oh ! how much more gratifying. ' I almost called you a coward, son David, said his father to him, when they met, ' but you aro a chip o f the old block, arid I did you wrong; -Deborah, he is a boy to be proud of —is he not ?

At that instant the deep bay of a dog rang in their ears, and a large masliffsprang from nnH?r |h n h'?n** W] I lisliwl Ml lilt 1 IVInjnri -dmtn-J .^'rB - an d.npB^| hta son was restrained, and Fire V he cried. Twenty guns broke upon the stillness of the night—the dog fell dead—every pane of glass in the front of the house was shivered, and the tories yelled like savages. In an instant the lights in the house were extin guished—the violin as quickly ceased, and a noise was heard at the door. The tories im mediately made a rush at it. But ft was al ready barred, and being made of stout oak plank, resisted all their efforts. A rifle craek- ed from one of the upper windows, and one of the tories fell, desperately wounded. An other report succeeded and another tory fell, and Major Wilsbn was fully aware that both Bunkers were at home and wide awake. A slied .turned the rain from the front of the house, and underneath this the tories shield ed themselves from the lire of the Bunkers, and-went to work at the door. Suspecting such resistance—perhaps from his knuwledgo of their character—one the men had brought an axe, with which he commenced hewing at the door, and soon cut it to pieces. Here a desperafebalde ensued. ^h^twoijrothers-| were powerful men, and as courageous as they were strong ; and now with, clubed ri- fles wey disputed the entrance of tho whole tory force. Th e door being small they stood theirgroundToi halfan hour, fqjling during that time some of those who had the temeri ty to enter first., but finally numbers over come them, and ihey were Jlung upon the floor and bound. The torfls, inflamed to madness at the' great resistance which had ings of silent j'ny; from thence, ha toro himself to grasp his father's band in a long iirid'eordial nholte, and ended by receiving and returning ibe enraptured embraces of his aimers. As soon n» this highly dramatic scene was «£a^n^r^£ra^^ ' ^sifTi^B resounded for his toryism and rgtblessness^ were to start early on the ensuing dayon an expedi tion to seize and hang tho two Bunkers, who had made themselves particularly obnoxious to the royalist leaders. David knew enough QT his partizan warfare to be assured that no mercy would bo shown his friends ; heelso knew enough of tire character of the Major to suspect that some strong personal motive had led to the planning of so .distant an ex- eized tbe'moiher and sister, and\made pre paralions to hang tho two brothers .before their eyes. The ropes were already lied a- rovmd the necks of the victims, when the?-] Major addressed his mcirr 'JXaw, friends, ns soon as fhese villains are dead, we will set fire to this house—the old woman there,' he said, with a brutal laugh, 'may bo left inside—but the young one I reserve for myself.' Hist! cried One of the men in a loud voice. The Major ceased, and they heard a her ing interontiiig reminiscences Fn a tetter to the New York Courier and Enquirer:—• I well remember Ihe occasion of Mid.

The baJt-wns held at Tomlinson'a Hotel, on Capitol (1 ill, where I boarded: and beinjj: some- wlmt indisposed, 1 had retired to bclTjuBl as the ball opened.
